Chapter 375 Something happened to the land south of the city?
After finishing dinner, Yang Xueying stood up, packed up the tableware, and took them to the kitchen.
Gu Qiyang stood up and wanted to help, but Yang Xueying gently refused. "You are a guest, so don't be polite."
Gu Qiyang sat back on the sofa, his eyes seemed to be following Yang Xueying's every move.
After a while, Yang Xueying returned to the living room and told Gu Qiyang that the guest room had been tidied up.
"Qiyang, you can sleep in the guest room tonight. Everything you need is ready." There was meticulous care in her tone.
Gu Qiyang stood up and showed a gentle smile. "Thank you, Xueying."
The two said good night to each other, Gu Qiyang walked to the guest room, and Yang Xueying returned to her bedroom.
It was late at night, and the whole home was filled with a sense of tranquility and warmth.
In their respective rooms, Gu Qiyang and Yang Xueying were immersed in their thoughts.
Gu Qiyang was lying on the bed, thinking about everything tonight, and felt a sweet feeling in his heart.
Yang Xueying was sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly recalling the time spent with Gu Qiyang, with a faint smile on her face.
Early the next morning, as soon as Pei Jingchuan arrived at the company, Assistant Qin hurried in, looking extremely serious.
"Mr. Pei, there is something wrong with the land in the south of the city."
Pei Jingchuan put down the document in his hand, a sharp look in his eyes. "what is the problem?"
Assistant Qin looked slightly nervous, "Regarding the project on that piece of land, workers have recently heard that some... supernatural events have occurred there. Many people are afraid to continue working."
Pei Jingchuan's brows were furrowed, and his voice was low and calm, "Supernatural incident? What is the specific situation?"
Assistant Qin responded quickly, "According to the workers, strange noises are often heard at night, and some people claim to have seen unknown shadows. Although we tried to appease them, the rumors have spread and it is difficult to control the situation now."
Pei Jingchuan nodded and signaled to Assistant Qin, "Prepare the vehicle immediately. I want to see it in person."
At this moment, Pei Yanqing entered the office anxiously, with obvious curiosity in his eyes.
"Brother, I heard from Xiao Zheng that there is a problem with the land in the south of the city. Can I go with you?"
Pei Jingchuan looked at his younger brother with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Yan Qing, things may be a little complicated this time. It would be better for you to be in the company. The land in the south of the city is some distance away from the company. I may have to go there for two or three days."
Pei Yanqing's expression seemed a little hesitant, but he could feel Pei Jingchuan's seriousness.
Pei Jingchuan gently patted Pei Yanqing's shoulder.
"Yan Qing. During this period, the company may have many challenges and difficulties. In the past few days since I left, you need to stay vigilant, especially against those competitors who may take the opportunity to attack the company."
Pei Yanqing took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm. "Don't worry, brother, I will handle it carefully."
At this time, there was a solemn and busy atmosphere in the office.
When Pei Jingchuan was about to leave the company and go to the south of the city.
He picked up the phone, and the pale golden light reflected on the screen. His fingers gently slid on the touch screen and found Jiang Yuzhu's contact information.
After the call was dialed, his voice was low and powerful: "Yuzhu, I'm going to the south of the city to deal with some urgent matters. It may take two or three days."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yuzhu's voice was calm but filled with subtle concern: "Jingchuan, the situation in the south of the city is quite special. You have to be careful over there. If you need any help, just tell me."
Pei Jingchuan smiled slightly, with an imperceptible tenderness in his voice: "Thank you, Yu Zhu. I will pay attention and contact you as soon as possible if anything happens."
At this time, Assistant Qin also prepared a vehicle, and they were ready to set off to the south of the city.
The two walked out of the company building together. The sky outside showed a light gray-blue color, and the morning light filtered through the clouds and shone on the busy city.
The car driven by Assistant Qin moved smoothly along the wide street, and the atmosphere inside the car was calm.
Pei Jingchuan sat in the passenger seat, staring through the car window at the ever-changing city landscape.
The buildings on both sides of the street appear clearer and more vivid in the morning light.
His thoughts seemed to stretch on this long road to the south of the city.
Assistant Qin occasionally looked at Mr. Pei through the rearview mirror. His voice was still low and steady: "Mr. Pei, we expect to arrive in the south of the city in the afternoon. Do you need to process some documents in the car?"
Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly and said concisely: "Get ready, I will take a look."
Then, a silence fell in the car. Pei Jingchuan took out a document and began to read it carefully.
In the afternoon, the vehicle finally arrived in the south of the city.
The environment here is in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by peaceful fields and scattered small villages.
The sun penetrates the clouds and shines on this land, bringing a touch of casual warmth.
Pei Jingchuan got out of the car and scanned the land, as if looking for some clue.
Assistant Qin followed closely, his expression still serious.
Soon after, Sun Minglong hurried over. He is of medium build, has a simple face, and his eyes reveal a kind of country simplicity and honesty.
Seeing Pei Jingchuan, Sun Minglong looked a little nervous, but also with a bit of respect.
"Mr. Pei, you are here." Sun Minglong's voice was slightly hoarse, but his tone was full of sincerity.
Pei Jingchuan nodded, his voice low: "I want to know the specific situation of the land in the south of the city. What do you think about these so-called supernatural events?"
Sun Minglong hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "Mr. Pei, I personally think these are all nonsense. The simple folk customs here may be caused by some misinformation or people with ulterior motives."
Pei Jingchuan stood on the edge of the fields in the south of the city, surrounded by a peaceful scene. Only the occasional bird song broke the silence.
He listened to Sun Minglong's words with deep eyes, as if he was thinking about deeper issues.
Sun Minglong continued, with a kind of helplessness in his voice: "People here believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. Once these rumors are deeply rooted, it is indeed difficult to make them believe that they are just groundless rumors."
Pei Jingchuan was silent for a moment after listening to Sun Minglong's words.
"In this case, we might as well solve this problem in a way that is more in line with the local people's beliefs." Pei Jingchuan's voice was low, and he turned to Sun Minglong, "Invite a prestigious Taoist priest here to perform an exorcism ceremony. This will not only appease The emotions of the villagers may also help us find the source of the rumors.”
Sun Minglong was stunned for a moment, then a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he nodded.
"Mr. Pei, this is indeed a good idea. The people here believe in this very much, and the arrival of the Taoist priests will surely calm their panic."
