Chapter 164 Resistance
Chen Yang felt a little guilty upon hearing Liu Ran's question, but he nodded resolutely and said, "Yes, actually it didn't take a hundred thousand, my friend sold it to me for ninety-seven thousand."
"Of course, this car has a drawback, it's a bit of a gas guzzler. Don't feel bad about the fuel costs later!"
Upon hearing about the gas guzzler issue, Liu Ran immediately understood. She smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, even if it's a gas guzzler, we can afford it now."
"Let's go pick up Liu Xiaomei and Su Ya. We'll have a meal together, and then we need to discuss our office location and future live streaming plans."
Getting into the car, Liu Ran sat in the passenger seat. She had expected the car's interior to be simple, but to her surprise, it was quite comfortable once she sat down.
Liu Ran mused to herself, "The tablet computer, the Boss audio system, and all the other high-end equipment in this car… it doesn't look like it cost only a hundred thousand!"
Chen Yang drove, picking up Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei, and they headed to a hot pot restaurant.
During the meal, the three women discussed their company's future office location.
Chen Yang sat to the side, silently sipping water, not interjecting.
Su Ya put down her fresh beer and said, "For the company's address, we should choose the most bustling CBD business district in Qingzhou City. And we must have a big sign. The office must be very spacious and professional. This way, people will know that our Yangyangyang Brand Design Company is absolutely legitimate and trustworthy."
"Therefore, purchasing the products we recommend is also absolutely trustworthy. This is not an area where we can cut corners. As for other aspects, we can save wherever possible."
Liu Ran nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll go look for office addresses later. Also, I plan to recruit a streamer. Now I realize that live streaming requires professional skills."
"Leave professional matters to professionals. I'm still not as good as those streamers, so I'll focus on brand design!"
"As the first streamer our company recruits, it's very important. Let's all post on our WeChat Moments and search online to see if we can directly poach a relatively good and outstanding streamer to work for our company. The price can be a bit higher, but they must be excellent."
The three women were engrossed in their enthusiastic discussion.
Chen Yang picked up his phone and checked the date. He remembered that today was the scheduled day to treat Zhou Sinian.
The strange illness within Zhou Sinian's body was indeed reaching the point where it needed treatment.
When Chen Yang had seen Zhou Sinian before, the "ghost fetus" inside him had not been fully mature. If Chen Yang had intervened then to treat Zhou Sinian, forcefully removing the ghost fetus would have harmed Zhou Sinian's own health.
But now, the ghost fetus had matured, and the monster within his body was also trying to possess Zhou Sinian's body. Therefore, these two days were the best time to act.
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and sent a text message to Zhou Sinian, asking if he had time in the evening.
After sending the message, he waited for a while, but Zhou Sinian did not reply.
Chen Yang thought for a moment, hesitated, and then picked up his phone to call Zhou Sinian. This time, Zhou Sinian's phone rang for over fifty seconds, but no one answered.
Chen Yang shook his head, put his phone back, and stopped paying attention.
In the afternoon, Chen Yang took the three women to look for office locations, rent office buildings, rent garages, and so on. By the time these matters were completed, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Su Ya remained very curious, wondering how a used car that cost a hundred thousand yuan could be more comfortable to sit in than her family's multi-million yuan Mercedes-Benz business van.
Sitting in the back seat, she asked Chen Yang with confusion, "Chen Yang, your friend who sells used cars must be a bit shady, right? This car of yours must have a questionable origin, isn't it?"
Chen Yang, sitting in the driver's seat, smiled innocently, secretly relieved. Fortunately, Su Ya didn't know much about cars. Although she came from a prominent family, she clearly had no understanding of car brands or models and assumed the car was obtained through illicit means.
After dropping the three women off, Chen Yang noticed that Zhou Sinian still hadn't called him back.
This time, he genuinely frowned. Logically, even if Zhou Sinian had been busy before and didn't reply to his messages or calls, it would have been understandable. But now, half a day had passed, and it was already evening. Was he still that busy?
Thinking for a moment, Chen Yang called Zhu Que and instructed her, "Zhu Que, help me check Zhou Sinian's current location. The strange illness within his body must be dealt with today or tomorrow."
Zhu Que chuckled and said to Chen Yang, "Boss, you've become so sentimental now, rushing to treat someone!"
"You used to warn us that as doctors, we should never force patients to accept treatment, but now you're breaking your own rules?"
Chen Yang said speechlessly, "I owed that guy a favor before, and now I'm repaying it. And this isn't considered forcing him. I'm worried that the guy might die prematurely if his illness flares up."
Zhu Que immediately replied, "Alright, I'll check Zhou Sinian's location now."
Five minutes later, Zhu Que sent a location.
Chen Yang looked at the location. It was in a villa in Xinghe Residential Area. This villa should be Zhou Sinian's own villa.
Chen Yang found it strange. The guy was at home, and he clearly had free time, so why didn't he reply to his call?
Getting into his car, Chen Yang drove straight to Zhou Sinian's villa.
Arriving outside the villa.
Chen Yang stopped the car and was about to press the doorbell when his brow suddenly furrowed, and his deep eyes looked towards the villa.
The villa was extremely luxurious, with a large footprint and a very fashionable exterior. However, at this moment, within the villa, Chen Yang could clearly sense three powerful individuals standing inside, emanating murderous intent.
Chen Yang stroked his chin, then leaped with both legs, his body transforming into a blur, and he instantly entered the villa.
He easily leaped and evaded the villa's surveillance, directly jumping into the villa from the second floor.
Standing on the second floor of the villa, Chen Yang looked towards the first-floor hall.
In the first-floor hall of the villa, Zhou Sinian lay curled up on the ground, covered in blood.
Beside Zhou Sinian sat three people: two Japanese ninjas holding curved blades, and an elderly, hunched-over old woman.
The old woman held a strange black walking stick, and her entire body exuded a sinister aura.
The old woman looked at Zhou Sinian on the ground and let out a sinister laugh. She lowered her head and said, "Lord Zhou, I underestimated you. You managed to endure for five hours."
"Unfortunately, it's useless for you to resist now. The baby inside you will eventually possess your body and control your mind, completely becoming you. Your current painful resistance can only slow down this process, so why bother?"
"There's a proverb in your China: 'Life is like a dream. If you can't resist, you might as well enjoy it.' Isn't that what you're doing now?"
