Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Undercover for 3 Years
“Old sir, it’s all right now, you don’t need to worry,”
Chen Yu propped up Victor’s body and took a seat at the nearby tea stall.
Victor took a few deep breaths and guzzled a large mouthful of tea before leaning back in the chair.
“I thought this place was some sort of geomantic treasure site where I could make a quick fortune. I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Luckily, you arrived in time, or the entire William’s family would’ve been ruined by my hands.”
Chen Yu patted Victor on the back a few times. “I just happened to arrive at the right moment. By the way, how did you get involved with people from the Huangpu Family?”
Victor relaxed for a moment and took out an invitation from his body.
“I was targeted as soon as I arrived here. The Huangpu Family is just one of them; there’s a bunch of people coveting the William’s family assets.”
Chen Yu frowned, realizing that this place was essentially a den of wolves.
Anyone who came here would have their skin peeled off.
“Old sir, let’s find a place to rest properly first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.”
Victor nodded repeatedly, not daring to linger here any longer.
Just as they were about to leave, Lu Dashan, who they had seen earlier, suddenly appeared nearby alongside a fierce-looking young man.
Chen Yu didn’t want to complicate matters and, supporting Victor, headed towards the nearby inn.
But just as they took a couple of steps, Lu Dashan came running over.
“My young master Mo heard that you have a deep understanding of antiques and would like you to take a stroll around the underground streets over there.”
Chen Yu wanted to ignore the man and raised his hand to send him away, but to his surprise, a strong surge of electricity suddenly came from nearby.
Two middle-aged men appeared behind him without his noticing, each holding a high-voltage electric baton.
Mo Sanchong came over with a smile and took out a card, which he shoved into Chen Yu’s hand.
“Mr. Chen, I mean no harm. I just want to invite you over for a drink,”
Chen Yu glanced at the card in his hand, and a glint of recognition flashed across his eyes.
“Please take good care of Mr. Victor!”
After giving the instruction, Chen Yu followed Mo Sanchong down the adjacent underground street.
This place was originally a magnificent underground palace with three levels.
The street they were on was just the surface level, where anyone who entered Dongming Canyon could find lodging. But getting to the two levels below was reserved for VIPs among VIPs.
Chen Yu followed Mo Sanchong to the second level and immediately pulled him aside into a corner.
“Who exactly are you? Where did you get that card from?”
The card Mo Sanchong had taken out was a unique VIP card from the Tong Group, one that only the very few people close to Tong Ming could obtain.
Mo Sanchong looked around: “Mr. Chen, I once served as Mr. Tong’s private secretary. I’ve been in Dongming Canyon for three years now.”
Chen Yu was slightly taken aback. “Three years? How is that possible when they say no one can enter without an invitation?”
Mo Sanchong hurriedly pulled Chen Yu into a more secluded corner to sit down.
“There are several ways to enter Dongming Canyon. The invitation is just one of them. If you can obtain the special treasures needed by Dongming Canyon, you may be allowed to enter as an exception. I’m a geologist by training and I found them a source of water.”
Chen Yu had activated his system just now and scanned Mo Sanchong’s brain information.
Everything he said was true.
After all, this is the depths of the desert, where water is the most important thing; without it, everyone in the canyon would die of thirst.
