Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss
chapter-2087

When Sima You Yue and the others entered the city, they saw a group of people speeding out of the city. Old Man Li pulled Sima You Yue and they hid in the crowd, then he whispered: “That’s Commander Hua.”

Sima You Yue looked up and saw the person in front of the crowd.

Hua Wu Xiang was handsome, but the evil-foreboding air around him greatly reduced his image. The?people behind him stepped back automatically because of the low pressure that surrounded him.

“Commander Hua seems to be in a bad mood. Could something have happened?” Old Man Li murmured. “Could it be because of what’s happened at the Ore vein?”

“Who knows? Since he is the Commander, naturally there are many things that he has to do. He could be worried about something else.” Although this was what Sima You Yue had said, she was certain in her heart that he was worried about the Ore vein. She wasn’t able to see his expression when he saw the Ore vein, but it was not bad that she was able to see him like that now.

When Xiao He and Xu Yu attacked the Soul Region, they had the support of many Financial Counselors. Therefore, she was very happy at having caused them to be in a bad mood.

“That makes sense.”

“Let’s go into the city to look for your friend.”

“Alright.”

Hua Wu Xiang had brought men to the Ore vein and went directly to the place that Envoy Zuo had mentioned. When Envoy Zuo saw Hua Wu Xiang approaching, he stepped forward and said: “Commander.”

“What’s the situation? You said the Ore vein is empty, what do you mean by that?” Hua Wu Xiang asked as he strode inside.

“This… Commander, you should see for yourself.” Envoy Zuo really didn’t know how to describe what he had seen.

Hua Wu Xiang understood his subordinates well, when he saw him in this way, he knew that there was something strange with the situation. His heart sank and his footsteps sped up. When he entered the Ore vein and saw the situation inside, he couldn’t help but froze.

There was nothing at all in the whole Ore vein!

The people behind him were also shocked. They stared at the empty Ore vein, speechless.

“This is what it looked like when we came in.” Envoy Zuo said, “At first we thought that it was just an empty mountain. But over the past two days, we have discovered some clues. There are traces of new excavation everywhere. Judging from the excavations, they can’t have been more than half a month old. And…”

“And what?”

Envoy Zuo pursed his lips and told him about the discovery that he was still in disbelief about: “All the chisel marks in the whole Ore vein are the same.”

“You’re saying that in half a month, someone broke through all layers of our defenses and excavated the whole Ore vein?” Hua Wu Xiang looked at him faintly.

Envoy Zuo’s scalp felt numb from Hua Wu Xiang’s stare, he knew that Hua Wu Xiang didn’t believe him. Even when he had first come to this conclusion based on all the facts and discoveries, he hadn’t believed it either.

However, the facts were the facts, they don’t change just because they didn’t believe them.

He didn’t dare to say this to Hua Wu Xiang and had to find a more tactful way of speaking: “Subordinate also finds this conclusion unbelievable, that’s why I am waiting for Commander to confirm my findings.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Wu Xiang knew that this was probably true.

“Let’s go and have a look.” He let Envoy Zuo lead the way from the beginning to the end. Because of Envoy Zuo’s reminder, as everyone walked along, they took note of the chisel marks. The more they saw, the more alarmed they were, they were exactly the same!

All the chisel marks, whether they were old or new, were exactly the same!

In other words, the entire Ore vein had been dug up at the same time!

“How, how is this possible?”

Even if a large number of people had come to dig up such a large Ore vein, it would have been impossible to be done in such a short period of time. The chisel marks were bound to be different.

Therefore, it was even more unbelievable when they looked at the chisel marks.

They didn’t want to believe it, but they also couldn’t help but believe it.

Hua Wu Xiang slowly accepted the fact, then he sneered: “It seems that we have met a talented person.”

Everyone knew that he was in a bad mood, hence, no one dared to answer him.

Hua Wu Xiang hadn’t expected them to answer him. After a while, he calmed down. The matter had already happened, it was useless to think about it anymore. What he had to do was investigate.

Envoy Zuo had followed him for the longest period of time and understood his thoughts the best. Without waiting for his order, he said: “I’ve already sent men to investigate. As long as there are traces of outsiders, they will definitely find it.”

“Where are Envoy You and Great Master Liu?”

“Envoy You is dead, as for Great Master Liu… if the news is accurate, he has run away.”

“Ran away?”

“Yes, besides him, another person has survived. I don’t know who it is yet.”

“Great Master Liu is too bold!” Hua Wu Xiang revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

“I have already sent men to capture them. Once they have been captured, we will be able to find out what happened here.”

“If things don’t go well this time then bring your heads to me next time!” After Hua Wu Xiang had finished speaking, he left the Ore vein and returned to Great Bridge City.

Sima You Yue’s entourage of three entered the city and went directly to Old Man Li’s friend.

Old Man Li’s friend’s surname was Du. Old Man Li called him Old Du, and his friend called him Old Li.

After some introduction, the four of them sat down in Old Du’s dilapidated hut. “It’s been so many years since we last met. I didn’t expect that we would have the chance to see each other again in this lifetime.” Old Du said with emotion.

“Yes!?But we really nearly didn’t get to see each other.” Old Man Li smiled bitterly.

“What happened?” Old Du asked.

“Hai.” Old Man Li sighed and told him how he had no money to enter the city and had wanted to serve one year of conscripted labor. “If I hadn’t met this kind-hearted Young Mistress You Yue when I was entering the city, we probably wouldn’t have met each other again in this lifetime.”

“Old Li, don’t say that. We have an agreement.” Sima You Yue laughed.

“What agreement?”

“It’s just that she pays for my entrance fee into the city and will be responsible for my expenses for one year, and in exchange, I will show her around.” Old Man Li said.

“Then you have really met an honorable person.” Old Du said enviously, “But why did you think of coming here? Wu Xiang City is not close to here.”

“It’s because the Talent Trials are being held here. Young Mistress You Yue wants to come and take a look.”

“Then you’re not in luck. The Talent Trials ended this morning.”

“It has ended?”

“Yes. I heard that Commander Hua left during the final stage of selection, but I don’t know why.”

“I didn’t expect for us to rush over here and it’s over.” Sima You Yue looked disappointed.

“When we were entering the city, we saw the Commander leaving. I didn’t realize it at that time, but the Talent Trials had ended then.”

At this time, a loud noise came from outside, as if something major had happened. Old Du told them to rest while he went out to inquire about the news.. When he returned, the expression on his face was a little imposing.
