However, since Chen Yang hadn’t actually done anything improper, there was no pretext for him to erupt in anger.

He could only suppress the rage in his heart and follow the group.

Having walked all morning, the party arrived beside a small stream.

Looking up at the dense jungle surrounding them and then at the stream at their feet, Chen Yang decided that this was a good spot to set up camp.

None of them had ever ventured into the deepest part of the mountain before, so they weren’t sure exactly where the heart of the mountain was.

Chen Yang was going by instinct alone.

“We should be near the heart of the mountain.

Let’s set up a temporary camp by this stream,” Chen Yang said, turning his head.

“Have we reached the heart of the mountain?” Wang Qingyue walked up and asked.

“We’re almost there.

If we haven’t arrived, it can’t be far off.

I’ve never been to the deepest part yet, I can only rely on my feelings,” Chen Yang glanced at her and replied.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingyue didn’t say anything further and went to the edge of the stream, squatting down to scoop up some water and wash her face.

This ordinary action took Chen Yang by surprise.

He truly hadn’t expected that Wang Qingyue had been without makeup all this time.

Originally, he thought her fair skin and delicate features were the result of makeup.

“What kind of guide are you?” Just as Chen Yang was somewhat taken aback, He Rui’s voice, filled with hostility, reached his ears.

Chen Yang turned his head, looking at him, “What’s the problem?

Is there an issue?”

“Of course there’s a problem!

You can’t confirm the heart of the mountain, but you let us set up camp here.

What if this isn’t the heart, and all our efforts are in vain?

Is your hundred thousand a day so easily earned?” He Rui stepped forward and said loudly.

He had refrained from finding fault the entire way, and now that he had an opportunity, he let loose without restraint.

This wasn’t anger at Chen Yang’s uncertainty; it was clearly anger for the sake of being angry.

Chen Yang was well aware of this.

Therefore, he didn’t indulge He Rui any further, directly rebuking, “My hundred thousand a day isn’t paid by you, is it?

Wang Hong hasn’t said a word, so what are you?

Who are you to point fingers and tell me what to do?”

He Rui had been desperate to find a reason to make things difficult for Chen Yang.

Hearing these words gave him a secret thrill, but on the surface, he pretended to be furious.

“You fucking dare talk to me like that?

Are you looking to die?

I’ve put up with you for a long time.

Today I have to teach you a lesson and show you some respect,” He Rui, with the typical temper of a spoiled rich kid, became uncontrollable.

He clenched his fist and swung it at Chen Yang.

“He Rui!

What are you doing!”

No one had expected He Rui to suddenly become violent and lash out.

Wang Hong was shocked and wanted to reprimand He Rui, but He Rui’s punch had already been thrown, beyond retraction.

Just when everyone thought Chen Yang was going to be hit,

there was a snap, and the punch He Rui had thrown was lightly blocked by Chen Yang with a simple raise of his hand.

“Ah!”

He Rui, feeling his fist firmly grasped by Chen Yang, was immediately taken aback.

Wang Hong, Wang Qingyue, and the others were also surprised.

They hadn’t expected Chen Yang to react so quickly and block He Rui’s sudden outburst with ease.

“You’re right, it’s about time you learned what respect is,” Chen Yang suddenly spoke up amid everyone’s amazement.

He then grabbed He Rui by the collar with his other hand and lifted him, as if picking up a small chick.

He Rui felt his feet leave the ground and immediately panicked.

“What…

what are you doing?

Put me down, don’t mess around,” he exclaimed frantically.

He Rui’s cries made Wang Hong snap out of it.

He rushed forward, trying to smooth things over.

“Chen, please, don’t be rash.

He Rui just acted impulsively.

Please, let him go,” Wang Hong said, trying to pacify with a soft tone.

Chen Yang had intended to throw He Rui into the water to teach him a lesson, but since Wang Hong stepped in to play peacemaker, Chen Yang decided to give Wang Hong some face.

Although He Rui was annoying, Wang Hong still made Chen Yang feel quite favorable towards him.

So he slowly let He Rui down, and once his feet touched the ground, Chen Yang gave him a shove.

Unable to withstand this force, He Rui staggered back several steps and finally landed on his bottom on the ground.

“Be more polite in the future when you speak and act.

I’m not your subordinate.

You’d better straighten up your attitude, or next time it won’t be as simple as today,” Chen Yang scolded, casting him a glare before turning away.

He Rui was still sitting on the ground, looking utterly confused.

Wang Hong glanced at He Rui, shook his head in speechless exasperation, and then followed Chen Yang.

Since they had decided to camp here, it was natural to get a clear understanding of the surroundings.

Otherwise, if there were wild beasts living nearby, they would be in big trouble.

“You two take Qingyue and start chopping some wood; I’ll go check around with Boss Chen and come back,”

Wang Hong told the two bodyguards, and then he walked away with Chen Yang.

Watching Wang Hong and Chen Yang leave, Wang Qingyue also stood up from the creek and, with the two bodyguards, took out the knives and other tools they had prepared earlier to start cutting down trees.

As for He Rui, she just glanced at him and didn’t pay any more attention.

Just as Wang Qingyue’s gaze swept over him, He Rui snapped out of his daze.

Feeling her dismissive look, he clenched his fists tightly.

In his heart, he officially began to resent Chen Yang.

In the jungle, Chen Yang and Wang Hong walked one after the other, slowly making their way.

Their eyes swept back and forth, checking for any signs of wild animals in the vicinity.

“I’m really sorry about that, Boss Chen.

He Rui has that kind of temper, and I can’t control him.

I apologize for his offense; I hope you don’t take it to heart,” Wang Hong suddenly brought up the incident as they walked.

Chen Yang knew that it wasn’t his fault.

“It’s fine.

I’m not the kind to be so petty as to hold a grudge over something this trivial,” Chen Yang said dismissively with a wave of his hand.

Seeing that Chen Yang didn’t mind the incident, Wang Hong immediately felt better.

Being in these mountains without any experience,

he knew he would need Chen Yang’s help a lot in the future.

He had respected Chen Yang all along the way, which was why he was concerned that the incident might have created a rift between them.

But since Chen Yang wasn’t bothered, that was a relief.

“Heh, Boss Chen, as expected of someone who’s used to doing big business, your magnanimity is truly impressive,” Wang Hong chuckled sycophantically.

Chen Yang laughed as well, then said no more.

The two men checked around the campsite and, confirming that there weren’t any large predators nearby, returned to the stream.

By the time they returned, Wang Qingyue with the bodyguards had already cut down several trees and were preparing to build a simple wooden hut.

“Brother, Boss Chen, you’re back.

How is it, is the area around us safe?” Wang Qingyue asked as soon as she saw them.

“Yes, the area seems safe.

Let’s prepare dinner first.

After eating, we’ll build the wooden hut.

We still have the whole afternoon,” Wang Hong said with a nod.

“Okay.”

Wang Qingyue nodded, and the two bodyguards immediately went to prepare.

It wasn’t long before lunch was ready.

Chen Yang still freeloaded a meal, and it was quite decent.

After dinner, Wang Hong immediately started building the wooden house with the two bodyguards.

Building a temporary small shelter in the wilderness isn’t too difficult but isn’t easy either.

If you have the proper tools and have learned the relevant structures, it is easy to build one.

Wang Hong and his people clearly belonged to the latter category, as they had come prepared.

With all sorts of tools at their disposal, they built it very quickly.

In just an hour or two, a rough outline was already in place.
