Chapter 590 Taking Action
Chen Yang clearly saw the lingering redness in Zhou Shanshan's eyes.
"Who cried! I didn't!" Zhou Shanshan's face immediately turned red, and she quickly retreated to her room.
Just then, Chen Yang spotted an unexpected person.
Yang Wanwan from Huazhanbao.
Yang Wanwan had been in the hall for several hours. Meng Qingxue had brought her there to appease everyone, as she was the sole eyewitness.
"Mr. Chen, since you're back, I can go back and rest now." Yang Wanwan yawned, and just as she was about to leave, Chen Yang stopped her.
"Wait."
Everyone looked at Chen Yang strangely. What was he trying to do at this hour?
Chen Yang pulled Meng Qingxue aside and said, "Someone caused trouble for me on the way back. Yang Wanwan is the only witness. Sister, go and talk to her. For the time being, don't go out wandering. Stay with us. I need to protect her safety."
Meng Qingxue was startled at first, then nodded heavily, "I understand."
After Meng Qingxue explained the seriousness of the situation, Yang Wanwan could only agree with a wry smile.
In the room, Chen Yang did not explicitly mention the Zhou family's attack on him. After Liu Ran fell asleep, he quietly left the room.
In the corridor, Zhuque and the members of the Heavenly Killing Pavilion immediately approached Chen Yang, awaiting his orders.
"Protect everyone's safety. The Zhou family has many martial artists. Remember not to get entangled with them."
The Heavenly Killing Pavilion members immediately understood. This meant they were to deliver fatal blows.
Zhuque was shocked. "The Zhou family is tired of living, daring to attack you! How many Grandmasters do they have? Do we need to summon others?"
The Heavenly Killing Pavilion was strong, but that didn't mean the Heavenly Medical Hall only had these people.
Chen Yang chuckled upon hearing this question. "Grandmasters? Just one Great Zhou Heavenly Realm and a bunch of Lesser Zhou Heavenly Realms."
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, then they all burst into laughter.
A group of Zhou Heavenly Realm martial artists trying to kill the Medical Saint Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Medical Hall? If this got out, it would be a joke.
After arranging his tasks, Chen Yang inquired about Murphili Town.
"Currently, there's no intelligence indicating we've been exposed. However, Coach Katch has appeared in newspapers three times, and he went to Murphili Town before. They might have been alerted."
Chen Yang nodded. This was indeed a significant loophole.
But since there was a possibility of exposure, they should directly prepare for the worst.
Meanwhile, in the hotel rented by the Ganshen team, Zhou Yuanwei, seeing the injured people before him, angrily smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.
"Are you sure the person who took action was Huang Chen!"
Zhou Yuanwei remembered that unremarkable old man. When he first arrived at the Magic City Association, Huang Chen had subtly warned his martial artists not to act rashly.
And yet, only a few days later, they had clashed with the Zhou family.
"Huang Chen's strength has reached Grandmaster. He would receive excellent treatment anywhere. Why would he stay at a place like the Magic City Association?" Zhou Yuanwei was well aware that the stationed individuals at various associations were usually remnants.
Zhao Jiamo, a Great Zhou Heavenly Realm martial artist by Zhou Yuanwei's side, shook his head. "It is indeed strange. Moreover, his inner energy seems unable to erupt fully. He should be injured. He's enduring his internal injuries to stand up for Chen Yang. It seems this Chen Yang is not simple either."
Zhou Yuanwei played with the woman beside him, contemplating how to deal with the Yangyangyang team.
"Young Master Yuanwei, rest assured. My master will emerge from seclusion tomorrow. A mere Huang Chen, even at his peak, is no match for my master!" Zhao Jiamo was not new to doing favors. This time, Zhou Yuanwei's father had paid a substantial sum to arrange for him, intending for him to clear obstacles for Zhou Yuanwei. Naturally, he couldn't back down now.
Zhou Yuanwei's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Your predecessor is coming to Magic City?"
Although Zhao Jiamo's master was not a sworn protector of the Zhou family, he had close ties with them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his prized disciple to the Zhou family.
Seeing Zhao Jiamo only smile without speaking, Zhou Yuanwei immediately understood that he had to invite him.
Even if the price was higher, being able to invite such a powerful expert, Zhou Yuanwei was naturally overjoyed.
The next day, Zhou Yuanwei and Zhao Jiamo personally went to the airport to pick him up.
A white-haired old man strode forward. Upon seeing Zhao Jiamo, he said with satisfaction, "You've made some progress."
"Thank you for your praise, Master. I am humbled that you traveled all the way to Magic City right after emerging from seclusion. It is truly difficult to deal with Huang Chen. Please forgive me, Master."
Zhou Yuanwei, seeing that the person looked no different from an ordinary old man, frowned. If Zhao Jiamo hadn't often praised his master's strength, he wouldn't have bothered with him.
"You are Senior Cheng Mo, right? I am Zhou Yuanwei of the Zhou family."
Cheng Mo paid no mind to Zhou Yuanwei's impoliteness and simply nodded lightly. These scions of noble families were inherently arrogant, let alone the young master of the Zhou family.
Just as Zhao Jiamo was about to open the door for his master, the door in front of Cheng Mo opened automatically, greatly startling Zhou Yuanwei.
It was then that he remembered that even his own father addressed Cheng Mo as "Senior." With an awkward expression, he got into another car.
After getting into the car, Cheng Mo finally asked his disciple, "The Huang Chen you mentioned, is he that person from the Magic City Association? If I remember correctly, he should have been severely injured. It's a miracle he's alive. And he dared to fight you? Did he use his inner energy?"
Zhao Jiamo hadn't expected his master to know Huang Chen. He immediately nodded, "He did, but it was evident that it wasn't smooth."
Upon hearing the answer, Cheng Mo burst into laughter. "Then it seems I've come for nothing today. I have some understanding of Huang Chen's injuries. If he truly exerted his inner energy, he wouldn't be far from death."
"Oh? Is Huang Chen that badly injured? Could it be that his injuries have recovered?" Zhao Jiamo recalled the battle at the time. Huang Chen's inner energy was not flowing smoothly, but he didn't seem to have such severe injuries.
"Recovered from his injuries? Unlikely. Even when someone helped Huang Chen contact the Heavenly Medical Pavilion, his injuries didn't heal. There are fewer than two physicians in this world who can surpass the Heavenly Medical Pavilion, and those two are themselves on their deathbeds and can't even treat themselves. Naturally, they wouldn't bother with such trivial matters." Cheng Mo said, then closed his eyes to rest, contemplating what kind of rare treasures he should demand from the Zhou family this time.
At the Magic City Grand Hotel, Chen Yang slept until noon. Upon learning that Su Ya had taken lawyers to the association, he shook his head helplessly. "I already figured it out yesterday. It's the association's major financier making things difficult for us. No amount of lawyers will be of any use."
Liu Ran's delicate eyebrows furrowed. "Major financier? Who is it?"
Just as Chen Yang was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.
"It's Su Ya calling."
Chen Yang said, then answered the phone. The next second, a cry for help came from the other end.
