Chapter 943 An Unexpected Visit

Chapter 943 Someone Comes Knocking

Chen Yang, who had taken over the position of Commander of the Northern Xuan, did not have to handle daily affairs.

However, he still had to read the reports submitted by Elder Huang.

Elder Huang, with some worry, said to Chen Yang, "Indeed, many mysterious martial artists have appeared recently, and people have died."

"Every single one of them was at the peak of Grandmaster!"

"I've already sent people to investigate, but there's probably very little information we can uncover!"

Elder Huang and the others were still unaware of the existence of ancient martial artists, and Chen Yang did not intend to tell them now.

After all, the ancient martial artists who had appeared so far were all at the peak of Grandmaster.

Even if their strength varied, the power of a peak Grandmaster was undeniable.

Telling them would only increase their worries.

"Inform me immediately of any clues, and do not engage them in direct conflict."

After listening to Huang Chen's report, before Chen Yang could even ponder, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden phone call.

The person on the other end of the line was from the Zhuge family.

Yangyangyang Company and the Zhuge family were simultaneously developing the mines in the village.

During their cooperation, the Zhuge family had always been the leading party.

Chen Yang initially thought there was a problem with the mine.

However, he never expected that the martial artists the Zhuge family had stationed there reported that the ancient tree had a problem!

Besides the mining area of Nongwu Village, their cooperation also included joint research on the ancient tree.

Chen Yang held a stake of as high as fifty-one percent in this research.

A few days prior, Chen Yang had received research reports from the Zhuge family concerning the ancient tree.

The bark that occasionally shed from the ancient tree possessed potent medicinal properties.

Chen Yang had thought about asking the Zhuge family to send him some so he could try to strengthen some elixirs.

However, he was delayed due to his trip to the Snow Forest.

"But last night, the ancient tree suddenly disappeared, vanishing without a trace!"

"We searched for a long time in the vicinity without any clues. We're at our wits' end now, so could you tell us when you might have time to come in person?"

The person in charge of the Zhuge family in Nongwu Village was extremely reluctant to make this call.

Chen Yang had entrusted all matters here to the Zhuge family, showing his trust.

Furthermore, the old matriarch had always placed great importance on Nongwu Village, especially the research on the ancient tree.

Now, the object of their research had suddenly disappeared, right under their noses.

He had no way to explain this to Chen Yang, but since it had come to this point, he had no choice but to inform Chen Yang.

"Vanished without a trace?" Chen Yang exclaimed in surprise, then told the person from the Zhuge family that he would be there soon.

Chen Yang had not forgotten the plea from the ancient tree in Nongwu Village.

The ancient tree had a natural enemy: a snake demon!

Could it be that the snake demon had already arrived?

But upon careful consideration, something seemed off.

Even if the ancient tree was weakened, it was impossible for it to have no reaction whatsoever.

The Zhuge family had been researching the ancient tree, and Chen Yang did not believe they would be so careless.

Moreover, people could be careless, but machines could not.

Before Chen Yang left, he had specifically instructed people to set up surveillance devices around the area.

Just as Chen Yang was preparing to leave, Su Ya called.

"Someone is looking for me?"

"Yes! And it's quite a beautiful young lady. Where did you stir up trouble again?"

Su Ya looked at the person in front of her and said with an unfriendly tone, "She's already at the company. Liu Ran doesn't know yet. If she finds out, I won't cover for you!"

"Hurry up and come over to take her away!"

After the call ended, Su Ya gave the woman in front of her a strange look and said, "I've already notified Chen Yang. He'll be here soon."

"Um... may I ask what your relationship with Chen Yang is?"

The woman sitting on the sofa in Su Ya's office had a simple appearance but was extremely pale.

More importantly, the floral dress she was wearing made Su Ya a bit conflicted...

At first glance, it was easy to imagine Chen Yang having wronged someone somewhere, who then found clues and directly came to Yangyangyang Company.

"He promised me."

The woman did not answer any questions, only uttering these five words.

Su Ya immediately felt her scalp tingle.

"This Chen Yang is an absolute scoundrel!" Su Ya slammed her desk forcefully.

However, even after becoming a martial artist, the pain in her palm was unavoidable.

Su Ya rubbed her palm with a pained expression, then remembered something extremely important.

"Uh, is there anything wrong with your body?"

Su Ya nervously touched her stomach.

There were some things Su Ya felt too embarrassed to ask.

But seeing the puzzled expression on the woman's face, Su Ya could only press on: "Could it be that you're pregnant?"

Just then, Liu Ran suddenly pushed open the office door, her voice filled with excitement, "Su Ya, I have good news! The plan proposed by Xichen has already started its trial phase, and the report for the first phase is out. It's a huge success!"

"From now on, as long as we follow this pace, we can quickly conquer the secondary market."

"The Wei family's funds have also arrived!"

"It's like a pillow arriving when you're sleepy. With this money, we can speed up market penetration even more."

As Liu Ran spoke, she suddenly noticed another person in the office.

It was someone she had never seen before.

Although her makeup was a bit rustic, it couldn't hide her beautiful features.

"Who is this?"

Liu Ran looked at Su Ya curiously.

The Su family was a prominent family in Jinling, and Liu Ran was familiar with Su Ya's sisters.

But none of them matched the woman in front of her.

Seeing Liu Ran enter, Su Ya immediately became nervous.

She didn't know how to answer Liu Ran's question.

"She... I, ugh, why don't you let her tell you herself!"

Su Ya really didn't know how to explain to Chen Yang, so she could only let the woman speak for herself.

Upon learning that the woman was looking for Chen Yang, Liu Ran initially had no particular expression.

However, after hearing the reason, Liu Ran's expression also changed slightly.

When Chen Yang arrived at Su Ya's office and saw that several people were present, he was a bit confused.

Before Chen Yang could speak, Su Ya immediately stood up, gritting her teeth, "Chen Yang, you still have the nerve to show up!"

Her gaze was as if she wanted to tear Chen Yang into a thousand pieces.

Chen Yang, having just arrived, was met with such a question from Su Ya that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

On his way here, Chen Yang had been wondering who was looking for him!

There was a person in the room he didn't recognize. It was obvious that the person looking for him must be her.

"The person is right here. I advise you to be honest! Confession leads to leniency!"
