Chapter 516 Not Short of Money
Yang Long rushed into the Liu family's courtyard, saying in a panic, "Quick, quickly close the door, someone wants to kill me, hurry up and close the door, help me call the police."
With a panicked expression, Yang Long entered the courtyard and directly crawled under the table.
The Liu family relatives around them couldn't help but mockingly laugh when they saw this scene.
Cai Yun suddenly stood up, furious, feeling instantly disgraced. She pointed at Yang Long under the table and said, "Yang Long, are you having an epileptic fit? Who would dare to kill you in broad daylight?"
"Besides, aren't you working with Director Chen De now? You know Director Chen De is a renowned figure in the entertainment industry, a half-sky, with powerful connections both aboveboard and underground. Who would you be afraid of if you're with him?"
Yang Long, from under the table, said miserably, "Mom, stop talking. It's Director Chen De who wants to kill me. I've been utterly ruined by that brat Chen Yang."
"I was working for Chen De, but Chen Yang said a few words to alienate me from Director Chen De. Now Chen De thinks I deliberately spent three hundred million yuan on him, and he's looking for people to kill me!"
Hearing this, Cai Yun's face turned ashen with anger. She was the first to grab a stool and smash it at Yang Long on the table.
Cai Yun angrily cursed, "You useless piece of trash, you can't even compare to that delivery guy Chen Yang, who toyed with you like a fool. How dare you come back? Get out, let Director Chen kill you, I can't afford to lose face like this."
The other relatives of the Liu family covered their mouths and laughed.
"I say, sister-in-law, your son-in-law is really something, isn't he? Really brings you honor."
"Yes, yes, he's being chased by Director Chen, so he must be quite a big shot to provoke Director Chen!"
"Oh dear, it's going to be difficult for your daughter to get into the entertainment industry now. I wonder if your daughter can still play a leading role after giving birth, hahahaha..."
"I'm dying of laughter. With your son-in-law like this, you still expect us to fawn over you? It's so embarrassing."
Hearing the light and cold sarcasm in her ears, Cai Yun felt even more humiliated. She crawled under the table, grabbed Yang Long by the hair, and furiously slapped him across the face.
Yang Long dared not resist at this moment. He was afraid that Chen De's men would rush in and kill him. He cried, covering his face, "Mom, Mom, stop hitting me now. Someone really wants to kill me. Quickly call the police to protect me!"
However, this was Qingzhou City. Although Chen De had considerable power, he did not dare to be too arrogant. His men were only guarding the perimeter of the Liu family's courtyard and did not rush in.
Chen De's face was ashen, and he almost had a heart attack. He had originally intended to use this opportunity to suppress Yangyangyang Company and Director Yu Long.
But unexpectedly, he lost three hundred million yuan for nothing.
Chen De stood in the private room, gritting his teeth. At this moment, his phone received a text message. Chen De picked up the message and opened it. It was from Yu Long.
"Director Chen, thank you for your generosity in buying so many rubbish copyrights. On behalf of the historical novel authors who are struggling to make ends meet, I thank you for your 'gift.' Also, our web drama is officially starting filming. If Director Chen has time, please come to the set to offer guidance."
When Chen De saw this text message from Yu Long, the anger he had suppressed once again erupted. This time, he completely lost control. With a "bang," he fell to the ground, clutching his chest, so angry that he almost spat out blood.
At Yangyangyang Company, everyone was gathered, eating a grand meal, drinking red wine, and chatting freely.
Next, the historical web drama officially began filming. Originally, Yu Long insisted on pulling Chen Yang to be the male lead, but Chen Yang really didn't want to spend his time filming web dramas, and he was even more afraid of becoming famous.
The last time he filmed short videos was bearable, as he only appeared in a few scenes.
This time, if he were to film a web drama, with this script, Yu Long's directorial skills, and the current fame of Yangyangyang Company, the web drama produced would undoubtedly be a huge hit.
At that time, his face would be known to all his peers in the martial arts world. Perhaps the Four Great War Gods would even mock him, saying that he wasn't focusing on being the master of the Heavenly Doctor Hall but was instead dabbling in acting.
That would truly be a complete loss of face. If his master were to angrily crawl out of his grave, it would be terrible.
For the next three days, Chen Yang lived a very leisurely life. Besides cultivating the Heavenly Travel Secret Technique and handling some matters for the Heavenly Doctor Hall, the rest of his time was spent adapting to the two abnormal internal energies within his body.
One was the fiery energy from his heart, and the other was the icy energy enveloping his kidneys.
These two energies seemed incompatible, but when they occasionally met, they unleashed immense power.
Chen Yang's goal now was to master these two internal energies so that he could respond to unforeseen circumstances at any time.
Three days later, at noon, Chen Yang's phone rang. Zhu Que's voice came from the other end. Zhu Que said, "Celestial Venerable, there are two matters to report to you."
"Firstly, we have recently detected that the activities of some dark organizations worldwide are becoming increasingly frequent and causing more and more trouble. They seem to have received new technical, financial, and material support, making it difficult for national special forces to deal with them effectively."
Hearing this, Chen Yang's brows furrowed slightly. He recalled the information he had obtained from the members of the Black Dragon Pavilion. It seemed that the four major dark organizations globally had received support from that Saint Moon Divine Venerable, which was why they were now acting with impunity.
Furthermore, Saint Moon Divine Venerable had not only united them and given them a leader but, more importantly, likely possessed some technology that greatly increased their strength.
This was the kind of technology that even the Black Dragon Pavilion desired, which was why the members of the Black Dragon Pavilion had feigned allegiance to Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
Chen Yang said, "I had anticipated this. Let our Heavenly Doctor Hall personnel increase their intelligence-gathering efforts. For now, let's refrain from participating in these conflicts."
"Also, continue recruiting external personnel for the intelligence department and expand our information network. Our Heavenly Doctor Hall should still have sufficient funds, combined with the profits from the Zhuge family, the Zhou family, and the beverage factory we recently acquired, it should be enough to support the Heavenly Doctor Hall in laying an intelligence network to every corner."
Zhu Que said, "Understood, Celestial Venerable. Increasing financial support for the intelligence network is indeed feasible, but the operational costs are very high. Although our Heavenly Doctor Hall is wealthy, we may not be able to sustain such a vast intelligence network for a long time."
Chen Yang said, "You don't need to worry about that. I will raise funds from various sources later, whether it's support from above, the support of the Four Great War Gods, or the profits from our own Heavenly Doctor Hall's businesses, there will be a continuous flow of funds.
"Even in a little while, Yangyangyang Company will have new opportunities. If I can make Yangyangyang Company the world's number one, then there will be no worries about funding."
Zhu Que on the other end couldn't help but laugh, "Celestial Venerable, I find your cheek truly thick. Yangyangyang Company is your wife's business after all. You've already been scheming to get your hands on it. Isn't this what they call 'eating soft rice'?"
