After the handsome man hung up the phone, he observed the expressions of Chen Yuanyuan and others, and then asked his men to let Zhang Linlin go.
"Scar, let this lady go first," the handsome man said.
"Huh!" As soon as Zhang Linlin was let go, she immediately hugged Liu Feiyang and stared at the rough man named Scar.
"My name is Xiang Suiwen, and I am also from Xiangcheng. Your accent is also from Xiangcheng, right? It was just a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry." After hanging up the phone, Xiang Suiwen's attitude changed 180 degrees, catching Chen Yuanyuan off guard.
"Just figure it out, we can go." Chen Yuanyuan said coldly.
Zhang Linlin had been wronged just now and had some injuries on her face. Even if Xiang Suiwen's attitude changed, Chen Yuanyuan was still dissatisfied and did not want to have anything to do with anyone from the Xiang family.
"We may have to deal with something first. Have you met anyone else on the mountain?" Xiang Suiwen had no intention of letting Chen Yuanyuan and his party leave.
"This is your family's business, what does it have to do with us!" Zhang Linlin said.
"Sorry, some of our important items have been lost. I am also responsible for the children of the Xiang family. Please cooperate with me. Otherwise, I won't be able to let him go easily until the matter is resolved." Xiang Suiwen said with a smile on his face.
"Do you think?" Zhang Linlin was unhappy when she saw the smiling look on his face. She was about to reply when she was interrupted by Liu Feiyang.
"We didn't meet anyone along the way, so I'm afraid we can't solve your family problems." Liu Feiyang hugged Zhang Linlin tightly in his arms and said.
"But before climbing the mountain, I saw a bunch of people coming down the mountain. We were far away and we didn't know who they were. There were wooden boxes on the roofs of their cars. I don't know if they were your lost items." Chen Yuanyuan said. .
She also guessed that Xiang Suiwen wanted to investigate the theft of supplies, so she quickly found a group of scapegoats out of thin air.
"Thank you for the information you provided. We will send people to investigate, but there is indeed something wrong on the mountain. I'm afraid it's not safe at the moment. Let us escort you down the mountain." Xiang Suiwen said with a smile.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't see a trace of sincerity in his eyes, and felt that the smile was all calculated, so she immediately refused.
"It's enough for the four of us to protect ourselves." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"I think this young lady was also injured because of us. We have a place to stay at the bottom of the mountain. Could you please take a trip?" Xiang Suiwen clapped his hands. The thin man Huang Gou had just pretended to walk away and ran away secretly. Go down the mountain and call a bunch of thugs to come up.
Chen Yuanyuan's heart tightened. It seemed that it would be difficult to escape from this situation.
When I heard Scar's disrespectful attitude toward Xiang Suiwen in the cave just now, I thought he was just a paper tiger, but I didn't expect that he was just a hidden smiling tiger.
"What do you mean?" Liu Feiyang quickly stepped forward to protect the three of them.
"We have no ill intentions towards the Xiang family, we just want to make friends with a few employees of the research institute. Since the base knows that you are in the Xiang family's territory, we will definitely entertain these distinguished guests." Xiang Suiwen pointed out something else. road.
It seems that there is research behind it, and Xiang Suiwen won't touch them for a while.
But by detaining them, they probably want to know their importance in the eyes of the institute. If they are not important, it may not be too safe.
"Since you are inviting the young master, we should be respectful and accept your order, but you have to make sure that the people at the institute agree to our visit to Xiang's family." Chen Yuanyuan also secretly threatened.
"I will notify the research institute after everyone arrives at Xiangjia's destination." Xiang Suiwen looked like he was indifferent. It seems that Xiangjia also has a certain background in the base, so he can be so tough.
Seeing the large number of people, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but fall out with Xiang Jia for a while, so she had to comply with Xiang Suiwen's arrangement and arrive at Xiang Jia's place first.
Along the way, they pretended to be asking Sui Wenye, Chen Yuanyuan and the others. Their superficial concern was impeccable, but in reality they were all trying to find out what Chen Yuanyuan's background was.
Under the "escort" of many Xiang Jia's men, Chen Yuanyuan was unable to contact Locke in public, so she had to follow Xiang Suiwen's words and make a few perfunctory remarks.
Although Xiang Suiwen felt that Chen Yuanyuan and others did not want to have a close relationship with him, the young master Xiang Jiabiao, who had always been a good person, kept talking.
Since the investigation failed, a little bit of the Xiang family's power in Guangdong City was revealed. On the surface, it was showing the Xiang family's strength, but in fact it was to deter them from running wild on the Xiang family's territory.
Although Locke was not contacted by Xiang Suiwen on the phone just now, after asking, it was found that Liu Feiyang and Gu Zhiming were in the same household relationship at the base, and they could not find out their details for a while.
The group of people walked along the paved stone road for about an hour before they saw the halfway point of a self-built house.
Chen Yuanyuan took a look at the surrounding scenery and estimated that it was probably located on the mountainside.
When I first came to this mountain in the last life, it was already the third year of the end of the world. The mountain road here had long been covered by mud and rocks. I didn't expect that there was a paved road here.
Although the mountain road when we came here was longer and more difficult, I was glad that I didn't find a road here. Otherwise, if I had walked this way, I would have been targeted by Xiang's family before they even climbed the mountain.
After entering the self-built house, several aunts were cleaning and chatting in the hall.
After seeing Xiang Suiwen come in, they immediately stopped what they were doing, walked aside to say hello to Xiang Suiwen, and quietly looked at Chen Yuanyuan and his party.
Chen Yuanyuan also noticed the sizing looks of her aunts. When she visited the Zheng family's island before, the trained Zheng family servants would not look at the guests like this.
Although Chen Yuanyuan guessed that these aunts were not servants, but probably belonged to other subordinates.
The Xiang family only started to clear up their fortunes after a millennium. Compared with the Zheng family, which has been established for nearly a century, it seems that the Xiang family is not so particular about certain rules.
"Thank you for your hard work, distinguished guests. I will arrange lunch for you all and take you down the mountain to our Xiangjia Station later." Xiang Suiwen said.
"No need, we will leave as soon as we get down the mountain. Just arrange a room for us to rest now. We have prepared our own dry food." Chen Yuanyuan was very wary of Xiang Suiwen and would not eat the food they prepared.
"I don't have to force the food, but the Xiang family's second-in-command is very interested in getting to know a few of them. I'll still have to trouble you to take a yellow dog trip and bring them to the guest room." Xiang Suiwen didn't give up what Chen Yuanyuan refused. When the opportunity arose, he asked Huang Gou to escort them to their room.
"Okay, please come this way." Huang Gou said.
The yellow dog led several people all the way to a guest room on the second floor.
"Can I prepare anything for you?" Huang Gou asked.
"No need, when will we continue going down the mountain?" He Yuehua said.
"I don't know about this. If you don't need anything, I'll go down first." Huang Gou asked a few people if they didn't need anything, then closed the door and left.
