My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 595: Terrifying Upon Close Reflection
"The surname Qin... Sister Mei is not someone to be trifled with, just you wait!"
Chen Dahu, seeing that even the two experts beside Sister Mei couldn't defeat Qin Yu, left a fierce threat behind and, with his two lackeys, sheepishly exited the crowd.
"Qin Yu, well done!"
"You're taking over the project in Phoenix Village, we all support you!"
"Who would've thought, we've been graced by your grandfather's kindness all our lives, and now we're blessed by you too. The people of Phoenix Village owe the Qin Family!"
The onlooking villagers chattered in agreement.
"Folks, elders. It is the land of Phoenix Village that has nurtured the Qin Family. What I am doing now is merely a trivial way of giving back!"
Qin Yu bowed with his hands clasped, saying so with great humility.
"Look at our Qin Yu, doing so much for us without putting on airs!"
"Exactly, that Chen family, especially Dahu, he builds his own villa yet comes to demolish our houses, he's really no good!"
"They're outsiders to begin with, married into this place!"
"From now on, we should all avoid those people, they're just too wicked!"
After complaining about Chen Dahu a bit more, the villagers gradually dispersed.
By the time Qin Yu got home, it was almost evening.
"Qin Yu, how did it go, who exactly is this Sister Mei?"
The moment Qin Yu entered the house, the old Master Yan eagerly asked.
Although he had heard the commotion, he knew Qin Yu had been in a fight at the head of the village. However, he had faith in his grandson-in-law's combat abilities; ordinary people were no match for him.
"From Wu City, she mentioned the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, which I haven't heard of before!"
Qin Yu briefly responded.
"Hmm... Fengyun Chamber of Commerce?"
Old Master Yan's expression turned contemplative, and after a second or two, he continued, "Then you have to be careful, the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce is very powerful. To put it this way, if the Ye family is the overlord among the wealthy families of the eight southern provinces, then the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce is the overlord of the commercial market in those provinces.
Think about it, they say two tigers can't share one mountain, yet the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce has been able to grow for so many years under the nose of the Ye family in Wu City without being devoured. It's definitely not just because they're good at doing business; they must have something extraordinary about them."
"Grandpa, I'll be careful!"
Qin Yu nodded.
Wu Mei wasn't Fengyun Chamber of Commerce's top figure, yet she already had two Half-Step Baodan experts by her side. What about Helian Wudi, the top figure?
Perhaps he himself was a top martial expert.
Only such a person could have stood toe to toe with the Ye Family in Wu City for so many years.
"Mm, I've already contacted the head of the development department of Four Seas Corporation. After the sixth day of the first lunar month, we will deploy our own team to Phoenix Village. At that time, we'll design Grandfather Qin's tomb well, making it look nice and splendid."
Old Master Yan, trusting in Qin Yu's ability to handle matters, did not say more but instead changed the subject.
"Grandpa, you're so thoughtful!"
Qin Yu said, moved.
With the Phoenix Village project being taken over by his own people, he no longer had to worry about his grandfather's grave being disturbed, and thus he could go to Wu City with peace of mind.
"Let's eat then. I've arranged for someone to come pick me up tomorrow. I have a few old friends I also need to visit!"
After speaking, Old Master Yan and Qin Yu headed to the kitchen at the back.
Qin Jianjun and the others had already prepared dinner and had even opened a bottle of Maotai.
After the family had eaten, everyone went to their own rooms to rest.

There were still some relatives in Phoenix Village, and visits were expected the next day.
Around midnight.
Qin Yu was roused by a strange feeling in his lower abdomen, initially thinking he needed to go to the bathroom, but after getting up, he realized it was the cluster of black qi inside him spinning abnormally fast.
In his mind, a vague voice whispered, "Boy, come to the back mountain!"
Dammit!
Could there be a ghost?
Qin Yu shivered, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Anyone would be badly frightened if a strange voice appeared in their mind in the dead of night.
Who are you?
Qin Yu thought for a moment and then spoke out loud.
A martial arts practitioner at the Channel-Opening Realm could project their voice into secret, perhaps someone was conveying a message to him in this manner.
If there really were ghosts in this world, then why hadn't he seen his grandfather again?
You know, the ghost that you are afraid of could be the very person someone else is most eager to meet.
Kid, come to the back mountain!
The mysterious voice didn't reply but kept repeating the same few words over and over.
Dammit, who's playing ghost tricks?
Qin Yu decisively got out of bed, grabbed an axe used for chopping firewood from the kitchen, and then walked out of the back yard.
Guided by the faint moonlight, he headed towards the back mountain.
He didn't stop until he reached the foot of the mountain.
The black stream of air in his Dantian spun faster and faster, as though it was about to break free from his body.
Kid, come here!
The eerie voice emerged once again in Qin Yu's mind.
Where?
Qin Yu looked up at the back mountain—the trees had grown very lush through the years due to less logging. Coupled with it being the middle of the night, it did give off a somewhat sinister vibe.
If Qin Yu didn't have confidence in his own martial abilities, a normal person truly wouldn't dare venture up the mountain at night.
"....."
The strange voice seemed to lack awareness, not responding to anything Qin Yu asked.
Hmm, follow the speed at which this black air is rotating!
Qin Yu quickly had an idea in his mind and as he walked halfway up the hill, the black stream of air spun even more wildly.
It wasn't without benefits, as the True Qi that the slim monkey had previously forced into his body had been significantly diluted.
He faintly felt that he was about to make a breakthrough in the Pill Holding Realm.
However, before dealing with the mysterious voice and then returning to seclusion for a day or two, he aimed to break through to the Pill Holding Realm before his trip to Wu City.
That way, he would be much more confident when facing Ye Qianzhong again.
After about ten minutes.
Qin Yu arrived at a narrow crevice between rocks, only about forty centimeters wide, where an adult would have to sidestep to enter.
He had known about this place since he was a child, but his grandfather had warned him there were poisonous snakes inside and forbid him from going in to play.
Come in!
The strange voice rang out again.
Could it be that some demon or monster wants to lure him in and devour him?
A ridiculous notion popped up in Qin Yu's mind, but he quickly found it laughable. Holding a cell phone for light in one hand and the axe in the other, he barely managed to squeeze sideways into the crevice.
After about twenty meters or so, the space suddenly opened up to a dry stone chamber, about twenty square meters in size.
A pristine white skeleton sat cross-legged, wearing a black robe, which did not appear to belong to a modern person.
Huh, there's actually a dead person inside this crevice?
Looking at the skeleton as white as jade, Qin Yu wasn't too scared. After examining it, he noticed a few oddities.
The density of the skeleton's bones was much greater than that of an ordinary person, and it even emitted a faint luminescence.
This indicated that the skeleton must have been a martial artist in life, and a formidable one at that, at least one who had cultivated Inner Strength, allowing their bones to glow faintly even after death.
However, his grandfather had always prevented him from entering this place over the years.
Was it really because there could be poisonous snakes inside, or was it because his grandfather knew about the skeleton here?
In an instant, the fear of extreme contemplation made a chill rise up in Qin Yu's heart once more.
