Chapter 1090 1089: Assembly
"What orphan! Aren't orphans born and raised by parents? Watch how you talk, boy!" Hu Yashu rolled her eyes at Left Envoy Yang and said.
She was very satisfied with Yang Chen as her son-in-law and did not want to hear anyone speak ill of him, not even her own daughter.
Left Envoy Yang felt a bit helpless seeing how Hu Yashu was defending Yang Chen.
"Alright!" Left Envoy Yang said helplessly. "What do you want to tell me? About Yang Chen's parents?"
"Yes!" Hu Yashu whispered. "I seem to have seen Yang Chen's father in Ancheng, but I'm not too sure, because twenty years have passed and my memory is blurred, I can't be too certain."
Left Envoy Yang frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you see him? Where is he now?"
"I saw him at the entrance of a beauty salon at that time. I've already had your father investigate it; it's the boss of Baisheng Real Estate, Fu Zhou! The names are different, and the information we found shows that Fu Zhou is not Yang Chen's father, but... they really look a lot like Yang Chen's parents!"
Left Envoy Yang was somewhat surprised, "Baisheng Real Estate?"
The way Baisheng Real Estate threw money around at the bidding meeting back then was still fresh in her memory—the feat of buying up the entire southern suburb had never happened in the real estate sector of Flame Country.
Unexpectedly, such a wealthy man could possibly be Yang Chen's father!
This could be interesting!
Left Envoy Yang thought.
"So, I was thinking of asking you to help investigate because it's hard to confirm, and I can't tell Yang Chen. Your father and I are unfamiliar with the situation in Ancheng, and even with your father's authority, all the information he could check has been checked, and there's indeed no problem; there's no connection with Yang Chen. But... the situation back then was very complicated; it's truly difficult to determine just based on surface information, so the important thing is to personally investigate it. And the most suitable person to do this is you since you were an agent; handling such matters is straightforward for you," Hu Yashu said.
"Me? An agent?" Left Envoy Yang was taken aback.
Because no one had ever told her about this, she had no idea that she had such an identity.
Hu Yashu was also taken aback and quickly said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this identity for now; it belongs to top secret. When you recover your memory or really need it, I will tell you."
Left Envoy Yang hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and didn't ask much further.
Hu Yashu added, "Can you help investigate? After all, it's not convenient for us to go now..."
"Leave this matter to me, but... it might take a few days, I'm afraid I'll be very busy and can't spare the time," Left Envoy Yang said slowly.
"Are you going on a business trip?" Hu Yashu was a bit worried.
Left Envoy Yang nodded slightly, "A few days on a business trip, I'll be back soon."
"When are you leaving?"
"This afternoon!"
...
Afternoon.
Yang Chen's convoy arrived at Xuan Mountain.
Xuan Mountain, called a mountain, is not really a mountain.
It's more like a horse farm.
First a vast grassland, followed by a green mountain.
As for what's on the green mountain, they didn't know, it looked far away, and no cars were allowed in the horse farm.
The horse farm was opened by the Xiang family, and the staff were very welcoming, inviting Yang Chen and his group to a sumptuous lunch, and then leading them to a large tent to rest.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
As Yang Chen's group was getting somewhat impatient, a team slowly appeared from a distance.
These people, all in black, rode black horses and galloped vigorously towards them.
"So cool!" the Mastiff exclaimed.
He fantasized about the day when he would also be like an ancient Captain, dressed in armor, riding a fine horse, galloping across the battlefield.
Soon, this group of people approached.
They rode their horses, circled around Yang Chen and his group, and finally pulled on the reins, stopping.
Xiang Xingyu dismounted, extended his hand to Yang Chen, and said, "Yang Chen, we meet again!"
"You're a bit late," Yang Chen shook hands with Xiang Xingyu, feeling that Xiang Xingyu's fingers were long and strong, likely trained professionally.
Yang Chen glanced at the other Xiang family members, noticing that the hands holding the reins were similar, indicating they had received special training.
"It's the best to set out at this time!" For the Xiang family, setting out in the evening is best because it's when people start their nightlife, and the start of nightlife is the beginning of the Xiang family's activities.
"Let me introduce you." Xiang Xingyu introduced his people to Yang Chen, "This is the elder of our family, Xiang Jixian, this is our Acupointing Hand, Xiang Nancheng, and our traps expert, Xiang Beiwang, also our geology expert, Xiang Feiyu, and our tomb structure expert, Xiang Qianming..."
Yang Chen was surprised to discover how the Xiang family had subdivided the tomb-raiding field to such a precise and professional extent.
From the acupointing hand, specializing in studying traps, to geology experts, even studying tomb structure, and historical experts...
With such a team division, perhaps no tomb could stump them?
Zhang Qicheng seemed indifferent, glanced at them, and said coldly, "Can we confirm the location now?"
"Of course!" Xiang Xingyu smiled slightly, taking out a jade pendant from his pocket.
The other half of the double-dragon jade pendant!
Yang Chen squinted his eyes, glanced at the jade pendant, and said, "Let's go inside!"
Immediately, the group entered the large tent.
After clearing the things on the table, the Mastiff brought over the desk lamp, focusing it on the table.
Zhang Qicheng stared at Xiang Xingyu.
Xiang Xingyu also stared at Zhang Qicheng.
Both held a jade pendant, the other half of the double-dragon jade pendant.
"Together?" Xiang Xingyu chuckled.
Zhang Qicheng took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Alright!"
So far, neither of them trusted the other, not daring to lay out their cards, afraid that the other might steal the information in the jade pendant.
After agreeing, they cautiously placed the jade pendants on the table, slowly aligning them together.
The two jade pendants got closer and closer until... click!
The two jade pendants joined together, making a crisp sound, startling both of them into quickly checking, only to find there were no traces of breakage, but instead combined perfectly!
Elder Xiang Jixian came closer, took a look, and praised, "Items from over two thousand years ago, to achieve such precision!"
Everyone gazed at the seemingly whole double-dragon jade pendant, marveling, even Yang Chen was astonished.
"Bring the stuff!" Xiang Xingyu reached out his hand.
The people behind immediately brought over magnifying glasses.
Yang Chen's side naturally didn't fall behind, Zhang Qicheng also took a magnifying glass, crouching with Xiang Xingyu, carefully studying the double-dragon jade pendant.
