Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1952 - 1946: Pursuing Investigation?

The mine director, upon hearing Chen Yang's request, did not refuse.

"Mr. Chen, expediting production is certainly possible. However, the challenge lies in finding reliable individuals, and it will take some time for me to screen them," the director stated.

"No problem, just strive to accelerate the process. Ensure only trustworthy personnel are admitted to prevent any unforeseen incidents," Chen Yang instructed.

Chen Yang prioritized stability over mining speed.

Such a substantial vein represented immense wealth.

Only the Gu Family and Chen Yang were privy to this secret.

The Gu Family had recently been preoccupied with other matters, thus they had not caused any trouble.

Otherwise, with such a vast vein, they would undoubtedly have intervened.

If other powers were to discover this, significant complications would arise, attracting numerous troublesome factions.

Therefore, safety was paramount.

"Haha, very well, I shall endeavor to expedite operations. Rest assured, Mr. Chen," the director replied with a deferential smile.

"Hmm, thank you. I shall depart now."

Having secured the spirit stones, Chen Yang wasted no time and drove He Xiran back to Liuhua Village.

During the return journey, He Xiran was filled with admiration.

"Chen Yang, my admiration for you grows daily. How did you manage to exclusively control a spirit stone mine? Even our Alliance couldn't achieve that back then."

He Xiran had remained silent earlier at the mine due to the director's presence.

Now, with only the two of them, she couldn't suppress her astonishment.

"Naturally, it's due to my strength, what else?" Chen Yang replied with a slight smile, his tone casual.

He Xiran pouted.

She acknowledged Chen Yang's strength, but she doubted it was the sole reason for monopolizing a mine.

In terms of power, their Alliance had not been weak in the past either.

"Your explanation isn't complete, Chen Yang; there must be other factors involved," He Xiran pressed.

Chen Yang's previous statement was merely a jest.

Indeed, his strength played a role, but luck was also a significant contributor.

This so-called luck stemmed from the mine's secluded location, known only to him and the Gu Family.

The Gu Family had been occupied with other affairs, leaving them indifferent to this site.

Moreover, they had their own vested interests.

The Gu Family had long considered Chen Yang's mine as their own.

Consequently, they would never voluntarily reveal the existence of the spirit stone mine.

The Gu Family understood that Chen Yang mining alone would inevitably attract the covetous attention of major powers.

This understanding was the reason Chen Yang could stably develop the current situation.

Chen Yang briefly outlined these circumstances.

Upon hearing this, He Xiran finally understood.

"So, you acquired this mine through sheer luck? What if the Gu Family attempts to seize it later? From what I know, their clan's influence is considerable, with ancestors even in the Spirit Gathering Realm," He Xiran inquired.

"We will undoubtedly fight them to the end. I have no intention of relinquishing such a vast vein easily," Chen Yang responded without hesitation.

He Xiran offered a faint smile. "Very well, if trouble arises, remember to inform our Alliance. We will wholeheartedly assist you in safeguarding the mine."

"Understood, I certainly will," Chen Yang nodded with a smile, adding no further words.

Having initially obtained the spirit stones, Chen Yang intended to return directly.

However, as they passed through the town, He Xiran insisted on stopping to indulge in some leisure.

Her stated reason was to explore potential business opportunities within the town.

Opening a small shop, she reasoned, could also serve as a source of income.

This excuse left Chen Yang somewhat speechless.

Ultimately, unable to resist He Xiran's plea, he agreed to a brief stroll and some shopping.

"Just one hour; we must return before noon."

"Alright, I agree, one hour it is," He Xiran readily accepted.

"Quickly, quickly, let's not waste time; we only have an hour."

After agreeing, He Xiran immediately pulled Chen Yang out of the car, unwilling to squander even a single second.

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly.

"Women, truly have no resistance towards bustling commercial streets."

"Hehe, naturally, who doesn't enjoy a good shopping spree?" He Xiran chuckled heartily.

Chen Yang, resigned, said no more and accompanied her on a relaxed tour of the town.

Today, possibly due to it being the weekend, the market was quite crowded, lending the town a lively atmosphere.

Chen Yang accompanied He Xiran as they browsed and purchased numerous items.

These were primarily daily necessities, along with clothing and other miscellaneous goods.

The clothes He Xiran was currently wearing had been acquired by Li Han.

While they looked good, they didn't fit quite right.

Therefore, she decided to buy some suitable attire in town.

Daily necessities were procured, and new clothes were also bought.

By this point, nearly an hour had elapsed.

Chen Yang checked his phone – precisely on time, not a minute more or less.

Exactly one hour had passed.

"Time's up, Xiran, we should head back," Chen Yang announced.

He Xiran had intended to purchase a few more clothing items, but upon hearing Chen Yang, she couldn't help but pout her lips.

"Chen Yang, you're quite punctual, not even granting me an extra minute," He Xiran remarked.

Chen Yang offered a slight smile. "I specified an hour, and an hour it is. Isn't punctuality a good trait?"

He Xiran rolled her eyes in response.

Nevertheless, she placed the clothes she was holding back, abandoning any further shopping intentions.

"Alright, let's depart then," He Xiran conceded.

"Hmm."

Chen Yang gave a nod, and he and He Xiran planned to leave the town, heading back towards Liuhua Village.

However, after proceeding only a few hundred meters, Chen Yang abruptly halted his steps.

Initially, He Xiran did not notice, walking several meters ahead before realizing Chen Yang was no longer beside her.

She swiftly turned around and returned to Chen Yang's position: "Chen Yang, why have you stopped? What has caught your attention?"

He Xiran observed Chen Yang standing still, his gaze fixed in a particular direction.

It was a bustling noodle shop, seemingly ordinary.

Its normality left her puzzled about what held Chen Yang's focus.

"Chen Yang, what are you looking at?"

Noticing Chen Yang remained unresponsive, He Xiran inquired again.

This time, Chen Yang responded.

"Those two gentlemen dining at the noodle shop appear to be from the Blood Bat Hall."

Chen Yang stated.

"What?!" He Xiran exclaimed, her astonishment piqued by the mention of the Blood Bat Hall.

Her heart became instantly tight.

She quickly took a more careful look.

Yet, she still couldn't perceive any distinguishing features on the two seemingly ordinary men.

However, given Chen Yang's assertion, she found it difficult to doubt him.

"Chen Yang, how did you figure that out? Do they possess any specific marks?" He Xiran anxiously questioned.

"Hmm, the man whose back was turned to me earlier, while bending to retrieve something, I glimpsed a blood bat tattoo on his back," Chen Yang replied in a casual tone.

The blood bat tattoo served as the most prominent symbol of Blood Bat Hall members, instantly recognizable.

He Xiran, having had dealings with the Blood Bat Hall for an extended period, was well aware of this fact.

"This... is rather alarming. The Blood Bat Hall tracked us down this quickly? What should our course of action be? Should we promptly inform Uncle Chen to assist in relocating people?" He Xiran inquired with tension in her voice.

Having recently endured a significant setback for her Alliance, she was determined to prevent a recurrence of that day's events.

Her immediate thought was a swift evacuation.
