Chapter 231 The road is long and difficult
The tent was filled with a faint scent of hay mixed with a hint of damp earth, which gave people a strange sense of peace.
Song Qianyi sat gently on the edge of the bed, rubbing her slightly sore shoulders. Reflecting on her journey, she was filled with emotion.
Hu Xiyu stood aside, watching Song Qianyi's thoughtful expression, and asked softly.
"Miss Qianyi, what should we do next?"
Song Qianyi raised her head, her gaze resolute.
"Now that we're here, let's proceed according to plan. To the outside world, we'll claim we're here to seek cooperation, but secretly we need to find out the true situation of this mine as soon as possible. There's definitely more than one force here."
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tent and fell on Song Qianyi's face.
She slowly opened her eyes. Although she had many thoughts last night, she still managed to get a good night's sleep due to exhaustion.
She got up, tidied her clothes, and left the tent.
The campsite was already bustling with activity in the early morning, with everyone busy at work.
Hu Xiyu and Xi Er were already waiting outside the tent. When they saw Song Qianyi come out, Hu Xiyu went up to her and said something.
“Miss Qianyi, Mr. Gao just came by. He said that after you have breakfast, he will take you to inspect the surrounding area, which will make it easier to discuss cooperation later.”
Song Qianyi nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go have a meal first."
The three arrived at the dining area, ate some simple dry rations, and then set off under Gao Heng's guidance.
Along the way, Gao Heng gave Song Qianyi a detailed introduction to the surrounding environment.
“Miss Song, the terrain around this mine is quite complex, and some forces are hiding in the surrounding mountains.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the distant, rolling mountains.
Song Qianyi looked in the direction he pointed, secretly on guard.
According to Gao Heng, there are three main forces in this area.
Originally, there was only the mine owner here, but she was not capable enough to save the mine.
A portion of its territory was taken away by forces that later rose to prominence.
This ultimately led to a situation of three-way division.
Their faction only occupies a small area and is mainly in a wait-and-see state.
There are many good things in this mine, and they want a piece of the pie.
But now, the original mine owner has found outside help and directly changed the ownership of the mine.
This sudden change was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves across the land.
The already turbulent situation instantly became even more complex.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the new mine owner will be here soon." Gao Heng's voice was low and solemn.
Noticing that everyone's mood was off, Gao Heng smiled and said again.
"However, Miss Song, there's no need to worry. No matter how complicated the situation is, we can still find some clues by acting in the name of cooperation. Besides, with the Yue family's reputation, I think all parties will give us some face."
Song Qianyi nodded slightly, but was secretly pondering in her heart.
I originally came here secretly to investigate.
Unexpectedly, the mine was rife with complexities, with three forces entangled in a tangled web of conflict.
It seems that successfully reclaiming the mine will not be easy.
At this moment, Song Qianyi felt so insignificant.
Is this the Yue family?
Can she trust Yue Zimu?
In the end, Song Qianyi still didn't say anything.
She decided to meet with the original mine owner before considering what to do next.
They walked along a winding path, surrounded by dense woods.
Suddenly, the second sister noticed something. She frowned slightly and made a shushing gesture, signaling everyone to stop.
Song Qianyi and Hu Xiyu became alert.
Gao Heng's expression instantly turned serious. He quickly drew a dagger from his waist and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the woods, and a group of people dressed in black surrounded them from all directions.
They held weapons in their hands, their eyes revealing a fierce look, and shouted at Song Qianyi and the others.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
