Chen Chongshan was puzzled by Yuan Yuan's change in attitude. He couldn't understand why Yuan Yuan would suddenly act this way, and he looked at Yuan Yuan with a puzzled expression.
Feeling Chen Chongshan's gaze, Yuan Yuan paused for a moment, then sighed deeply and said, "Chongshan, you actually planned to ask Brother Xu to intervene from the very beginning, didn't you?"
“They bullied me because of their power, and I had no choice but to do it.”
Chen Chongshan nodded, replying somewhat apologetically, which was tantamount to acknowledging Yuan Yuan's words.
"But you clearly had a way out. If you had pulled Ah Huang away when they provoked you in the first place, or if you had called me earlier so I could have gone downstairs and left together, or if you had kept Ah Huang under control when they left, none of this would have happened, right?"
Yuan Yuan continued, looking at Chen Chongshan.
Chen Chongshan was completely baffled by Yuan Yuan's words. He looked at Yuan Yuan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Yuan Yuan, what's wrong? Is there something amiss?"
"Chongshan, have you ever thought about what would have happened if you hadn't met Xu Jiaming?"
Yuan Yuan looked at Chen Chongshan and asked coldly, "Or perhaps, Li Haotian and Luo Biao's status is equal to or even higher than Xu Jiaming's. What can you do when Xu Jiaming can't handle this matter?"
"This..." Chen Chongshan was stunned for a moment and did not speak.
Yuan Yuan paused, then continued, "Chongshan, don't you think your thoughts and mentality have changed? Having connections and networks is good, but our families are all in the countryside, without any background or power. We can't become dependent on these connections."
"Nothing in this world stays the same forever. Even brothers can turn against each other. What will you do if your relationship with Xu Jiaming and the others changes one day?"
“I’ve always thought you were very mature and strong, capable of handling everything on your own, but you’ve disappointed me so much today, Chen Chongshan. Think about it carefully.”
After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, she walked directly towards the dormitory building. Chen Chongshan stood there for a long time without moving. Although it was still early spring and the temperature at night was still very low, Chen Chongshan's back was already covered in cold sweat.
Chen Chongshan understood why Yuan Yuan was angry and realized the cause and effect of it all. He seemed to have really fallen into a misconception, a fatal one. Fortunately, Yuan Yuan reminded him in time.
………………
After returning to the dog farm from Yuan Yuan's place, Chen Chongshan fell into deep thought. He constantly reflected on the changes he had undergone during this period, and in the end, even he himself felt somewhat incredulous. He stayed at the dog farm for two days in a row, without going out to look at houses or contacting anyone else, and kept reflecting on his actions.
It wasn't until the third day that Chen Chongshan contacted Yuan Yuan. They went to see several properties that Xu Jiaming had introduced to him, and after comparing several properties and discussing them many times, they finally chose a large three-bedroom apartment of 110 square meters.
Because of Xu Jiaming's connections, the house price was discounted significantly. After paying the down payment and taxes, Chen Chongshan only spent about 200,000 yuan. He now has about 800,000 yuan in savings, so paying this amount out is easy and stress-free.
With the house chosen, Chen Chongshan finally settled down and the heaviest weight on his heart was lifted. Everything was settled, and he only needed to wait for the developer to hand over the property before he could start decorating. It was at this moment that the call finally came from Wuhan.
It was already early February in the lunar calendar, and the cherry blossoms at Wuhan University were in full bloom. Chen Chongshan, Xu Jiaming, and Wen Fei, along with Ah Huang, arrived in Wuhan in Xu Jiaming's newly purchased Range Rover. Their destination was still the manor, where Liao Bin and his group were already waiting.
However, contrary to Chen Chongshan and Xu Jiaming's expectations, there were still no other dogs in the manor; only Liao Bin and Cao Yang were there waiting for them.
"The Demon King has been staying in Shennongjia and hasn't returned yet. He has recovered quite a bit during this time. In addition, we have also found two large, fierce dogs, four Xia Si dogs, and three brindle dogs. They are all in place in Shennongjia and are just waiting for us to arrive."
"Originally, we wanted about six fierce dogs, but time was tight, and good dogs were not easy to find. Bringing dogs that were not strong enough would be useless, so we had to settle for this. These two fierce dogs are both very strong. One is a wild mastiff king found on the Yushu grassland in Qinghai, and the other is an American Dogo Argentino imported from Argentina last year. We have already tested them in actual combat, and their strength is not a problem."
As Liao Bin led the group into the manor, he began to explain the situation there.
"Hmm, four fierce dogs, plus the rest of us, that's about right. A larger group would be harder to control, and the target would be too big." Xu Jiaming nodded, replying with satisfaction.
That's right.
Liao Bin nodded and then said, "Young Master Xu, Young Master Wen, Mr. Chen, after you finish lunch, you can rest here for a while. We'll have dinner early this afternoon and then set off to get there as soon as possible. After the team gets together a little, we'll prepare to go into the mountains."
"Okay, no problem."
Xu Jiaming smiled and nodded. Chen Chongshan and Wen Fei also had no objections. They were all looking forward to the trip. Liao Bin's call came late, and they were already quite impatient.
………………
Liao Bin and his team set up their base in Muyu Town, the entrance to Shennongjia. Located in the southern part of Shennongjia, it is surrounded by scenic spots and picturesque landscapes. It is an important economic town in the Shennongjia Forest Area, a tourist reception center, and the southern gateway to the outside world.
From Wuhan to Shennongjia, it's about 400 to 500 kilometers away, which is quite a distance. Fortunately, the car and the road were in good condition. In addition, apart from Chen Chongshan, a novice driver who had just obtained his license, everyone else in the group could drive for a while longer. In five or six hours, they arrived safely.
When Chen Chongshan and the others arrived, it was close to one o'clock in the morning. Liao Bin's base was in a large courtyard in a slightly remote part of Muyu Town. After arriving, the group went straight to their rooms to rest. Nothing happened that night, and they didn't get up until about nine o'clock the next morning.
Although it was already spring, the temperature here was lower than outside because it was close to the mountains. After the group finished breakfast in the house, Liao Bin led Chen Chongshan, Xu Jiaming and others, as well as Ah Huang, to another, more spacious courtyard behind this courtyard.
