"Oh, by the way, are you joining the Dragon Group with me?" Kong Manni asked eagerly. If Chen Haoxuan also joined the Dragon Group, she wouldn't have to worry so much. She knew Chen Haoxuan's character; he was a good man who took care of both his family and subordinates. So she looked forward to him being with her, especially since she was a weak woman arriving in an unfamiliar place.
"Not only am I going, but all my subordinates from Chen Family Village will be going too. In total, there will be thirty-eight of us, so you don't have to worry about being lonely when we get there. Little girl, you need to perform well in the Dragon Group; whether you can rise to success depends on yourself," Chen Haoxuan said.
Kong Manni nodded seriously. "Yes, I won't let Boss down."
"That's good," Chen Haoxuan smiled.
After that, Chen Haoxuan and Kong Manni fell silent. Chen Haoxuan focused on driving while Kong Manni lowered her head, lost in thought. In reality, Kong Manni sighed, lamenting her unfortunate fate and resenting the heavens for making her encounter such an outstanding man who belonged to someone else.
When Chen Haoxuan drove back to Chen Family Village, the helicopter sent by the Dragon Group had already arrived and was parked in the area where rice was being dried.
Today, all the villagers of Chen Family Village gathered at the edge of the drying area, gazing at the two imposing helicopters with awe. It was their first time seeing helicopters up close, and their excited expressions revealed their desire to experience flying in one.
As Chen Haoxuan led Jiang Dong and others toward the helicopters, the villagers finally understood why there were helicopters in their village; they were there to pick up Chen Haoxuan. Seeing that everyone was carrying luggage, they couldn't help but discuss among themselves: "Look, Chen Haoxuan and his group are all carrying luggage. Are they going somewhere far?"
"I think they must be going for a long time; otherwise, why would they bring so much luggage?" one villager remarked.
Among the villagers was a couple with red eyes watching Chen Haoxuan and his group; they were Chen Zhenghao and Li Xin. Every time they saw Chen Haoxuan now, they felt ashamed and guilty, wishing to reconcile with their son. Unfortunately, their past actions had gone too far for them to reclaim him.
A gust of wind blew as the helicopter slowly took off. As it flew away, the villagers began to disperse, leaving only Chen Zhenghao and his wife behind. "Ah... what an outstanding son! He became a billionaire through his own efforts and is now friends with many dignitaries. I should be very happy to have such a son, but how could I have been so foolish as to abandon him before he showed his talents?"
"This isn't your fault; it's all mine. If I hadn't been so despicable, our lives wouldn't be so hard now," Li Xin said regretfully.
"Let's go! Let's ask Li Ping what Haoxuan is up to. We need to take a helicopter," Chen Haoxuan said to his wife.
After sitting for several hours without reaching their destination, Chen Haoxuan curiously looked out the window of the helicopter and discovered they were already in Tibet. He had initially wondered why the headquarters of the Dragon Group would be in the capital, but he didn't expect it to be in remote Tibet. However, this was good; he didn't expect it, and neither would the enemy.
A couple more hours passed before the helicopter finally landed, indicating they had arrived at their destination.
As Chen Haoxuan and his companions disembarked, they found themselves at a large ranch filled with numerous sheep and horses. Jiang Dong and the others shared the same expression as Chen Haoxuan, questioning whether the Dragon Group intended for them to tend sheep.
Seeing their expressions, Shen Ruyan cheerfully explained, "This large ranch is just a cover. Our Dragon Group's base is located in the deep mountains behind this ranch."
"Oh, I see!" Chen Haoxuan replied, looking enlightened.
"There are hundreds of people in the ranch responsible for managing these sheep and horses. They also ensure the security of the Dragon Group's perimeter. Their appearances are intentionally fierce to deter ordinary herders from grazing their flocks here. Don't be fooled by their herder identities; they are all skilled fighters. Come on! I'll take you inside," Shen Ruyan said to Chen Haoxuan and the others.
Chen Haoxuan really liked this place. He planned to find a horse to ride after meeting with the leader of the Dragon Group since he had never ridden before and was eager to experience it.
Once inside the ranch, Shen Ruyan drove several electric tour vehicles to take Chen Haoxuan and his companions to the Dragon Group's base.
The tour vehicle arrived at the foot of a mountain. Chen Haoxuan thought they would have to climb, but suddenly a cave appeared at the base of the mountain. Inside the cave was a smooth concrete road, illuminated by bright lights on both sides and above. They drove for two minutes before exiting the cave, revealing its considerable length. As they emerged from the cave, Chen Haoxuan looked up and saw no sky, only a thick mist. It seemed that the Dragon Group relied on this mist to remain undetected by enemies.
"This mist is natural because we are currently in a valley with a large spring that produces very cold water, creating fog. Additionally, there may be rare minerals in these mountains that prevent electronic devices requiring signals from functioning here. Because of these two features, our Dragon Group has always been very safe," Shen Ruyan explained.
Chen Haoxuan took out his phone to check for signal and indeed found none.
At that moment, a group of people in the distance looked towards Chen Haoxuan and said, "Hey, look, it seems like there are new partners. Let's go check it out."
More than fifty people ran towards Chen Haoxuan. When they saw him, they quickly disregarded him, not paying him any attention. They were all geniuses like Chen Haoxuan, but while they excelled in certain areas, Chen Haoxuan was well-rounded. Despite this, they still didn't particularly like him. However, Kong Manni and her group welcomed him warmly. They rushed over to her even while she was still in the car, which made Shen Ruyan fume with anger.
Kong Manni was so frightened that she tightly hugged Chen Haoxuan. Since he was sitting in front of her, her ample chest pressed firmly against his back. Chen Haoxuan's body stiffened involuntarily; he was sure that Kong Manni's chest must have been squished out of shape.
"Boss, I'm... I'm scared," Kong Manni said nervously as she clung to Chen Haoxuan.
Hearing Kong Manni's words, Chen Haoxuan expressed his dissatisfaction to Shen Ruyan, saying, "Shen Ruyan, are all the people from your Dragon Group so lecherous? If that's the case, please take me back right now."
