Chapter 193 - Gold Mine

Although the Gu family had left first, Chen Yang was very fast.

Soon, Chen Yang caught up with their pace and managed to stay well hidden, ensuring he would not be discovered by the people ahead.

The countryside at night was very quiet and dark.

However, dozens of people carrying equipment and walking with flashlights on the edge of the mountains were quite conspicuous.

So Chen Yang was not at all worried about losing them.

After wandering around the edges of the mountain near Liuhuan village for a while, the Gu family finally chose a path up the mountain and walked in.

Chen Yang immediately followed them up.

Under the cover of night, Chen Yang, like a ghost, imperceptibly followed behind them.

The people from the Gu family did not notice Chen Yang at all.

In this manner, Chen Yang followed the Gu family through the mountains for over two hours until he saw them stop at a place with unusual terrain.

Tracking from a distance, although unable to hear their conversation, Chen Yang still made an observation.

These people had a map; they were moving based on the markings on the map!

“This map must have been drawn by Black Skin and the others!

Otherwise, the Gu family wouldn’t have had a map of the mountains!”

When the Gu family stopped, Chen Yang stopped as well.

He hid behind a large tree and watched from a distance.

He saw the Gu family stop and exchange a few words.

Then, some people began using the equipment they had brought up the mountain to detect something in that area.

Chen Yang was too far away to hear anything.

Eager to hear what they were saying and to take a closer look at the area, Chen Yang decided to take a risk and move closer.

Chen Yang, with his nimble movements, easily and silently approached the Gu family.

Once nearby, Chen Yang finally heard the Gu family’s conversation.

One young man holding the map, with a smile on his face, said to a noble and effeminate man, “Young Master, the surface of this land fits the characteristics of a gold mine perfectly!

I believe the reserves inside must be substantial!”

“Heh heh.”

The effeminate man responded with a light smile, “Before everything is clear, let’s not make hasty conclusions.”

“Yes, yes, it was my oversight,” said the map-holding man, nodding repeatedly before stepping back a few paces without saying anything further.

As he stepped back, the group that had been using flashlights to detect things on the ground finished their work.

They excitedly gathered in front of the effeminate man, “Young Master!

It’s been confirmed!

There is a gold mine below, and the reserves are astonishing!”

The person referred to as the Young Master, a member of the Gu family, remained calm at first.

But after hearing this, he could no longer contain himself.

“Really?

Are you sure there is no detection error?” the effeminate man stepped forward excitedly and asked.

“Absolutely certain!

That’s what the metal detector shows!”

“Whoo!”

Affirmed, the effeminate man let out a sigh of relief and then raised his head to the starry sky, unable to resist shouting excitedly, “Truly, heaven blesses the Gu family!”

“Congratulations, Young Master, for finding the gold mine as you wished,” the others congratulated in unison.

Afterward, the group gathered to discuss what to do next.

The effeminate man remained silent for a moment, then said, “For now, let’s not startle the snakes in the grass.

Wait until I figure out to which village this land belongs, then we’ll send someone to lease it at a low price.”

“Once it’s leased, the gold mine will truly be in the palm of our hands!”

The effeminate man’s face was filled with smiles, his excitement from discovering the gold mine was unmistakable.

After discussing for a while, the group hurried down the mountain.

On the way down, the effeminate man repeatedly instructed his subordinates.

They had to keep the gold mine a secret and not let the news get out.

But what he could never have imagined was that the moment they found the gold mine, it had already been leaked.

All of this had been overheard by Chen Yang, who had been closely trailing behind them.

After descending the mountain, the group quickly drove away from Liuhuan village.

Only after watching them leave did Chen Yang return to the medical clinic.

Lying in bed, Chen Yang’s heart pounded somewhat.

“I really didn’t expect, there would actually be a gold mine inside the mountain!

This is truly surprising!”

Chen Yang’s heart was throbbing with excitement.

He could never have imagined that the mountain he often wandered around for fun, would actually contain a gold mine.

It felt like a treasure had just fallen from the sky!

That made Chen Yang’s heart beat with uncontainable excitement.

Now, Chen Yang had an impulse, he really wanted to rush to the village office, knock on Wu Kexin’s door, and then have her help him contract the land with the gold mine!

Although the gold mine was of little use to Chen Yang at the moment.

He lacked the equipment to mine it, and he didn’t have the necessary permits either.

Even if he contracted the land, he couldn’t extract the gold from the mine.

But it’s best to stake a claim to it first!

There would always be a way in the future, right?

Chen Yang lay in bed, brimming with excitement.

His mind was constantly filled with thoughts about the gold mine.

The gold mine was discovered by the Gu Family, and it seemed that the Gu Family had expended a lot of effort to locate it.

Just the payment to Heipi alone was a million, which showed how much the Gu Family valued this gold mine.

Now, Chen Yang wondered, if in a few days, when the Gu Family returned to find that the gold mine had already been claimed by him, would they go mad on the spot?

“If it was discovered by someone else, and I cleverly contracted it first, I might feel a bit guilty, but since it’s the Gu Family, heh heh.”

Chen Yang had a mischievous smile on his face, his heart not only devoid of guilt but also feeling quite at ease.

He found that effeminate man kidnapping Li Han unpleasant last time, and Chen Yang had wanted to teach him a lesson but just hadn’t found the opportunity.

But he had not expected the opportunity to come so soon.

Therefore, Chen Yang felt no guilt whatsoever about getting a head start.

After deciding to be the first to contract the land, that night seemed particularly long.

Chen Yang didn’t sleep a wink all night.

When the next day dawned, Chen Yang immediately washed up in haste, he didn’t even have time for breakfast before dashing to the village office.

It was only just getting light at that time.

Although rural people tend to get up early, there were barely any people around at that time.

Fortunately, Wu Kexin was already up.

From a distance, Chen Yang could see that Wu Kexin was already washing up.

Wu Kexin was surprised to see Chen Yang appear at the village office so early.

“Why have you come so early?

What is it this time?” Wu Kexin asked curiously, as she wiped her face.

Chen Yang approached and said with a smile, “I want to contract another piece of land!”

Wu Kexin was astonished, “Contract more land?

Don’t you have enough?

What are you planning now?”

Upon hearing about contracting land, Wu Kexin’s first thought was that Chen Yang must have a new idea.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be coming over so early in the morning.

Chen Yang chuckled, “No big ideas, just want to contract it first and then use it when I have plans later.”

Wu Kexin was even more baffled.

“You have too much money to spend?

Contracting land might be unnecessary for you, but you still need to pay the rent, you do know that right?”

Wu Kexin really couldn’t understand Chen Yang’s actions.

But Chen Yang was in no mood to explain, at that moment all he could think about was securing that piece of land as soon as possible.

“I know, Village Chief, but I still want to contract it!

Come with me quickly, I’ll tell you which piece of land it is!”

Chen Yang was very excited, dragging Wu Kexin to the village office.

Because inside the village office, there were records of all the lands in Liuhe Village, including maps and such.

Chen Yang just needed to find the piece he wanted on the map, then sign the agreement, and it would be done.

Seeing Chen Yang’s rushed behavior, Wu Kexin didn’t say much else.

She directly brought out the land map of the village.

“Which piece do you want?

Just take a look, and point it out to me when you’re ready.”

Wu Kexin laid out the map, presenting it in front of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang immediately concentrated on the map.
