Chapter 319 You've Done a Great Deed
Shen Chong listened, his head spinning. He quickly said, "Send more men, immediately surround the entire lottery shop. If it really is a hidden base of Black Dragon Pavilion, it would be too important for us."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Chong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his expression a mix of excitement and worry.
Meng Qingxue was incredibly nervous, watching Shen Chong and asking, "Boss Shen, what's the situation now? Why did these people come to the villa?"
Shen Chong shook his head and said quickly, "Little Meng, the final results are not out yet. Don't be nervous. It seems you might have done a great deed."
"They say the deceased look like ordinary people, but they might be hidden personnel of Black Dragon Pavilion."
Meng Qingxue's mind went blank. "What is Black Dragon Pavilion? Is it a local underground organization in Qingzhou? What were their hidden personnel doing here? Were they here to kidnap us?"
Shen Chong shook his head. "Nothing is certain yet, but Black Dragon Pavilion is very formidable. It's a notorious organization that has been hidden in our country for hundreds of years."
"Its main body is in Japan, and of course, they have supported many people in our country, as well as many agents, and have been engaged in criminal activities against our nation."
"I don't think they came here for kidnapping, at least not purely for kidnapping. They should be after that herbal tea."
Liu Ran, confused, spoke up, "After Zi Zai Herbal Tea? Are they related to Qin Minghuang?"
While they were still discussing, Shen Chong's phone rang again. He picked it up. This time, the voice of his subordinate was trembling with excitement. "Boss Shen, we found it, we found evidence! These people are indeed members of Black Dragon Pavilion, and the lottery shop is indeed their lair."
"And in their secret room, we found their recent communication and task orders. They had two missions this time."
"One of them was to obtain the formula for Zi Zai Herbal Tea. Then, to kill everyone who might know the formula and claim this herbal tea as their own, to be produced in their country."
"Of course, they have a second, even bigger objective. They plan to bomb the secret intelligence repository thirteen meters underground at the Forbidden City Museum during the military parade. I don't know how they found out about this top-secret information buried here, but they have prepared all the materials and are planning to act the day after tomorrow."
Shen Chong broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly said, "Secure the scene. Do not touch anything there. I will immediately notify our superiors to bring the most professional personnel for evidence collection and photography."
"These two missions must be reported immediately. If they are both true, then... then it's truly terrifying."
After hanging up, Shen Chong turned to Meng Qingxue and said, "Little Meng, what are you still standing there for? Go change and come with me."
Meng Qingxue was startled and whispered, "Who? Boss... I, I... I still want to sleep. From what you said on the phone, it sounds like I won't go to jail, right?"
"That's good, that's good. I'll go back to sleep. You take care of the follow-up work."
Shen Chong smiled wryly and slapped Meng Qingxue on the shoulder. "Little Meng, what are you sleeping for? Do you know what a great deed you've done?"
"Not only did you kill three hidden personnel of Black Dragon Pavilion, but you also completely foiled Black Dragon Pavilion's plan."
"Do you know what they were planning to do? They wanted to steal the herbal tea formula and kill everyone in your Yang Yang Yang Company who knew the formula. And more importantly, they wanted to bomb the intelligence repository under the Forbidden City Museum during the military parade."
"And you stopped their plan. You are now a super-meritorious individual. Just for stopping the bombing plot, you can receive three special merits. You will be invited for a meeting and thanked by all the leaders, and you'll have to give a speech! Hurry, hurry, don't delay."
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingxue's previously calm and happy mood plummeted to the bottom. With a "crack," she exclaimed, "What, I... I've made merit again, and I have to give a speech again? I don't want to!"
"Boss Shen, I didn't do anything. I was really drunk yesterday. What should I say when you ask me to write the report?"
"Say I don't remember anything after getting drunk, and then I killed three criminals?"
Shen Chong glared at Meng Qingxue. "How dare you! Of course, you can't write that. You have to make something up, but you have to write it. In any case, change your clothes and get going."
"Little girl, with the speed you're making merit, in a few months, you'll be the second-in-command of the unit."
Meng Qingxue shivered at the word "second-in-command." She definitely didn't want that.
At Shen Chong's urging, she reluctantly changed her clothes, washed her face, sighed, and left the villa with the personnel.
Chen Yang was still driving on the road to Mount Taibai, which is located in Baoji.
Chen Yang originally thought it would be very difficult to find the location, or that entering the mountain would be difficult. However, to his surprise, as soon as he exited the expressway, he saw a tourist bus heading directly to the Mount Taibai scenic area.
Seeing this, Chen Yang immediately followed the bus. The journey was smooth, and after half an hour, they entered a misty area.
Looking around, it was vast and desolate. Mountains lay on the horizon, with few trees, mostly dry shrubs.
The shrubs grew very vigorously, making people's skin tear as they walked through them. Further ahead was the entrance to the main peak scenic area of Mount Taibai.
The road was well-built, and the bus could drive all the way to the ticket sales area halfway up the mountain.
Chen Yang was not here for tourism. Seeing the liveliness of Taibai Peak, he knew this was not the place.
If he were transporting excavators here, it would be impossible to hide it from the surrounding people and tourists, and it would have been photographed long ago.
Chen Yang stopped his car, jumped onto the roof, and looked around. This was officially within the Qinling Mountain range.
Around the main peak, there were countless canyons and mountain paths, with very difficult terrain and steep slopes, making them even harder to find. Even if he wanted to search the entire area, it would take a week.
A week was too long. Chen Yang patted the car hood and said, "Old friend, I'll have to trouble you. It seems you'll have to work hard and accompany me through these Qinling Mountains."
As he was thinking, five or six modified off-road vehicles roared past Chen Yang's car from behind. They turned right on the road ahead, entered a mountain path, and instantly disappeared into the forest.
Chen Yang's eyes lit up when he saw this. He knew this must be the road into the interior of the mountains. He jumped into the driver's seat without hesitation, stepped on the accelerator, and sped after the off-road vehicles.
