Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Don't worry, Daddy's big project has shown results recently. In just a few days, the company's liquidity has more than doubled, haha!" Speaking of this, Chu Pengzhan couldn't help but be happy. laughed.

"Okay...congratulations..." Chu Mengyao didn't know much about the company's operations, but making money was always a good thing.

"Okay, Yaoyao, you can have fun. Daddy has to do something. There is something going on here..." Chu Pengzhan said.

"Well, goodbye, daddy." Chu Mengyao hung up the phone, shook her head, and said to Lin Yi, "Let's go, daddy is too busy and has no time."

Lin Yi wanted to say something, but hesitated and didn't say anything. He didn't know much about business matters. He also heard a rough call from Chu Mengyao. He felt that it was a great thing for a company like Chu Pengzhan, which mainly focused on industry, to double its capital in a short period of time. Something that doesn't make sense.

Pengzhan Group is not a technology company. It has no inventions and creations, and it is impossible for its assets to suddenly double. However, Chu Pengzhan is a veteran in the shopping mall, so he should not make any common sense mistakes.

As soon as Chu Pengzhan hung up the phone, he received a call from An Mingyue.

"Brother An, how are you now?" Chu Pengzhan asked.

"Haha, congratulations, we have made another 10% on our investment..." An Mingyue said very proudly.

"No way? You made so much money again?" Chu Pengzhan said in surprise.

"Of course, this trader is a master that Jianwen met when he was studying abroad. He knows the futures market quite well!" An Mingyue said: "If I hadn't offended someone when I was trading abroad, I wouldn't have defected to me. Come here..."

"Then... how about we increase our investment?" Chu Pengzhan asked excitedly.

"Forget it if you increase the size. It's just for fun. We all have our own industries. Let's just make some money." An Mingyue said: "Besides, Brother Chu, do you still have money? Your industry Are they all real estate?”

"That's true... Then I'll think about it..." Chu Pengzhan said with some regret.

"Well, that's it for now. I'll let you know when there's any news." An Mingyue said.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Brother An." Chu Pengzhan said quickly.

After hanging up the phone, An Mingyue gave An Jianwen a thumbs up and said, "Jianwen, your idea is really good. Step by step, Chu Pengzhan was tricked. As you expected, he wanted to invest more. Already..."

"That's natural. With such a huge profit, who wouldn't be tempted?" An Jianwen said: "Wait a little longer and stimulate him again in a few days, and I guess he won't be far away from being impulsive."

"Well...but what if he just accepts it when the time comes? Aren't we losing money?" An Mingyue was a little worried. After all, how much money he made from futures was all made up by An Mingyue. In fact, there was no such thing. Yes, the money Chu Pengzhan took was still in the account of An Mingyue Company. It was just that An Mingyue saw some futures that made money, so she took it and told Chu Pengzhan.

"Don't worry, father, the hypnotist has already given a hint, he will definitely go crazy." An Jianwen said without worry: "By then, the entire Pengzhan Group will be ours!"

"Well, if you say that, I feel relieved!" An Mingyue nodded.

On this day, Lin Yi and others came to a small town near the highway, planning to have something to eat and stay overnight.

Everyone was getting closer and closer to Xixing Mountain Village. Lin Yi did not travel day and night. It didn't matter that he was a cultivator, but Tang Yun and others were not. If they didn't rest well in the car, they would be very tired the next day. I was not energetic, and I stayed in various small towns along the way. I also visited the small town markets at night, which was very unique.

This is also the first self-driving trip for Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu. Although they often traveled before, they did not know how to drive themselves, so they had never experienced this kind of stop-and-go experience.

In the evening, after everyone had a meal near the Express Hotel, they went to the night market in the town as usual.

There are no shops in the town, only a large market where you can buy all kinds of things. This is the so-called market. Chu Mengyao and others live in big cities and have never experienced it, but here they are. It’s not much different from a night market.

Of course, most of the products sold in the market are local specialties and some daily necessities, but they are not like the snacks and trinkets sold in the night markets in the city.

As for souvenirs, no one had any desire to buy anymore. The trunk of the car was already full. I originally planned to buy some local specialties wherever I went, but as I kept buying, I ended up buying a lot without even realizing it. I can’t fit it anymore.

So everyone is here just to take a look.

"I heard that Wang Laoba was hunting today and killed a legendary black phoenix?"

"Dark Phoenix? I think it's a pheasant?"

"Who knows, but if the price is so high, only a fool would buy it."

"Yeah, even if it's a phoenix, it can't fly after eating it!"

"You just know how to eat!"

"He beat me to death, what else can I do except eat?"

"That's right!"

Lin Yi and others were walking in the market looking at the local specialties when they heard two stall owners talking at the stall next to them. Out of curiosity, Lin Yi asked casually: "What is the Black Phoenix?"

"Who knows? It is said to be a black phoenix, a spiritual beast in the Dark Night Mountain behind. Of course, it is just some legends. I think it is a black-bone chicken!" The stall owner also replied casually.

"Oh?" Lin Yi originally asked casually, but when he heard that it was a spiritual beast, he was moved in his heart and continued to ask: "A spiritual beast? What is that? Is it the same as the one in the novel that can be cultivated? Similar to animals?”

"Spirit beast? I don't know what a spirit beast is. The older generation said that there are spirit beasts on this mountain, but they are extremely rare. It is said that drinking the blood of spirit beasts can prolong your life." The stall owner said: "As for you What you are talking about is cultivation, I have never heard of it.”

"Okay, thank you!" Lin Yi nodded.

"Brother Wrigley, are you going to see that black phoenix spirit beast?" Chen Yushu saw Lin Yi stand up and guessed what he meant.

"Well, I want to join in the fun." Lin Yi didn't say anything clearly.

"It's over there, you can go and have a look, but hey, only fools would buy that thing!" The stall owner pointed to a direction in the market and said.

Lin Yi didn't say anything more, but led Tang Yun and the others towards the direction pointed by the stall owner...
