Chapter 584: Sun Yue's Clue (2/3)
Night.
Yang Chen returned to Emperor Garden with Wei Xueqing and Chen Siyan.
Having had some red wine, Wei Xueqing's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was somewhat tipsy, stumbling as she walked, with Chen Siyan supporting her.
"No need, I can walk!" Wei Xueqing was still stubborn, but with her swaying in high heels, anyone could see she couldn't walk on her own. Even with Chen Siyan's support, they were both nearly falling.
Yang Chen closed the door, came in, and held up Wei Xueqing with one arm, saying to Chen Siyan, "Let go."
Chen Siyan was just a girl, too weak to support Wei Xueqing.
Feeling the warmth from Yang Chen's body, Wei Xueqing looked up at Yang Chen, dazedly saying, "You... what do you want?"
"Take you back to rest," Yang Chen said in a low voice.
"No, no, no!" Wei Xueqing shook her head, pointing at Chen Siyan, saying, "Why don't you let Yanyan take me instead?"
Yang Chen frowned, "She can't hold you."
"No, no, no! I'm not drunk, do you want to do something to me?" Wei Xueqing pointed at Yang Chen, questioning him.
Yang Chen frowned and didn't answer.
Wei Xueqing giggled as she leaned against Yang Chen's chest, "If you really want to..."
"No, no, no!" Wei Xueqing quickly shook her head, "No way! I'm Xinxin's best friend, I'm Xinxin's best friend! You can't touch me, you can't touch me, no, absolutely not..."
Wei Xueqing mumbled incoherently and had already fallen asleep.
Yang Chen sighed, bent down, and carried Wei Xueqing upstairs.
After placing Wei Xueqing in her own room, Yang Chen came out, went downstairs, and said, "Yanyan, help your sister Xueqing change clothes and clean her up later."
There was no response from Chen Siyan downstairs.
Yang Chen paused, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and he rushed downstairs in an instant.
After getting downstairs, Yang Chen saw the woman sitting on the sofa—Sun Yue!
Seeing Sun Yue, Yang Chen frowned, quickly walked to the sofa, glanced at the sleeping Yanyan, and said coldly, "You know, just touching Yanyan, I could kill you!"
"But you won't!" Sun Yue glanced at Yang Chen and slowly stood up.
Yang Chen grabbed Sun Yue's neck and lifted her, his voice icy, "There's no such thing as will or won't in my eyes, only do or don't. If I want to kill you, it's as simple as crushing an ant!"
Feeling Yang Chen's cold gaze and the force on her neck, Sun Yue felt that Yang Chen really might kill her.
For a moment, Sun Yue's back was drenched in cold sweat.
Seeing the fear in Sun Yue's eyes, Yang Chen snorted coldly, released his grip, and threw Sun Yue onto the sofa.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Sun Yue coughed violently, feeling as if her throat had been nearly crushed by Yang Chen.
Yang Chen supported Chen Siyan's body, then sat beside her, looking at Sun Yue, coldly saying, "Speak! What are you here for?"
Sun Yue recovered, looked at Yang Chen, and said coldly, "What am I here for? I'm here to see if you're involved with our boss's best friend!"
Yang Chen's eyes flashed coldly, staring at Sun Yue, "Do you think you have the right to interfere in matters of emotion?"
Feeling Yang Chen's icy gaze, Sun Yue was somewhat afraid but gritted her teeth, "I have the responsibility and obligation to keep an eye on you for our boss, otherwise our boss would have sacrificed herself for you all!"
"Shut up!" Yang Chen scolded, "First! I'm telling you, there's nothing between Wei Xueqing and me! Second, Ye Xin is not a sacrifice, I will rescue her! Third, I'm giving you one last chance: either tell me your purpose, or get lost, otherwise, you'll be buried here forever!"
Sun Yue shuddered at Yang Chen's threat, cautiously looking at Yang Chen's cold eyes, not daring to say anything else, quickly responding, "I came this time to report Ye Xin's whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen's eyes lit up, staring at Sun Yue, "What do you know so far?"
Sun Yue sarcastically said, "At least more than you know!"
After that, Sun Yue waved her hand, and the lights in the room went out completely.
Soon, a projection appeared on the wall.
The image showed several Alphard cars speeding along.
"This is the footage we captured after tracking the last location our boss left. Since then, we've been tracking their movements."
The image switched to a flight.
"This is flight 9895, heading to the Shangba District."
The scene changed to a mountain.
"This is Ba Mountain."
The picture shifted; several jeeps were driving along a mountain road.
"These are the last images we captured. They completely disappeared into the mountains and never reappeared, not even the cars."
Yang Chen frowned tightly, staring at the last image, speaking in a deep voice, "You mean to say, Sun Yue was taken to Ba Mountain by them!"
"Possibly! We have now focused our search on Ba Mountain, conducting a thorough search, but have yet to find any valuable leads," Sun Yue said truthfully.
"No, no, no!" Yang Chen stared at the image, saying deeply, "This is the biggest clue! They wouldn't just disappear without a reason; they must still be in Ba Mountain!"
Sun Yue said, "Ba Mountain's terrain is complex and vast, making it very challenging to search, but we'll do our utmost to search. I believe, with our boss's capabilities, she will find a way to leave clues for us!"
Yang Chen frowned in thought, not responding to Sun Yue.
He wondered if the Shangqing Sect truly existed, what kind of sect it would be?
Was it like ancient mythology, residing in caves for cultivation?
If that's the case, searching would indeed be extraordinarily difficult and complex.
Or, like in martial arts novels, was it a sect with grand halls and buildings?
If that's the case, how could such a significant presence remain undiscovered for so many years!
Yang Chen thought for a moment and said to Sun Yue, "Did you send people to investigate the local residents? Are there any legends or related clues?"
"No!" Sun Yue said seriously, "I've already investigated. There are no valuable clues."
"Impossible!" Yang Chen said, "If they exist, there will definitely be traces; they can't erase all their marks, there must be something!"
Sun Yue said, "I'll continue to have people investigate!"
Yang Chen nodded, saying to Sun Yue, "This information is very important to me, thank you!"
"No need!" Sun Yue waved her hand, "We're all just trying to save our boss."
Yang Chen slowly nodded, "Rest assured, I will definitely rescue Ye Xin!"
