About ten minutes after Ye Guichen and the others left, Wu Fang finally got up. While rubbing his back, he cursed angrily, "Damn it, now I know why that bitch was ignoring me, she's already got someone else. Hmph, Mi Lan, as long as you are at Hao Media, I will get you. I refuse to believe you won't come to work anymore. Ouch..."

As soon as he stood up, a sharp pain shot through his back again.

"Damn it, you pair of bastards. Just wait, I'll get you two!" As he thought of Mi Lan holding Ye Guichen's arm, Wu Fang started cursing again, wishing he could tear Ye Guichen into pieces.

However, this small incident did not affect Ye Guichen's mood.

Although Snake Head Mountain is right in the suburbs of Yun City, it is surrounded by the Qi Mountain Range. To get to Snake Head Mountain, you have to circle around it from the outside.

After driving on the highway for about an hour, Wu Caijun suddenly frowned and said to Ye Guichen, "Mr. Ye, there's a car that has been following us since we got on the highway."

Ye Guichen turned to look behind.

A black SUV was tailing them at a not-too-close but not-too-far distance. The windows were tinted, so nothing could be seen inside.

Whenever Wu Caijun accelerated, the SUV would speed up too. When Wu Caijun slowed down, the SUV would also decelerate, always maintaining a certain distance.

"Could it be that Wu Fang guy catching up again?" Chen Ziran asked suspiciously.

Mi Lan frowned and remained silent.

Ye Guichen knew absolutely that it wasn't Wu Fang. He didn't bother to say more but instructed, "Mr. Wu, stop at the next service area; let's have a meal."

It was already mealtime, and Ye Guichen patted his belly, pretending to be relaxed, "We left in a rush this morning and didn't eat anything. Now I'm hungry."

Wu Caijun agreed and drove towards the service area.

A few minutes later, Ye Guichen and his group entered the service area.

Chen Ziran and Mi Lan went to the restroom, holding hands.

Wu Caijun nudged closer to Ye Guichen, glanced at the black SUV following them, and whispered, "Mr. Ye, could it be that someone found out we are going to Snake Head Mountain?"

The information about the tomb at Snake Head Mountain was known to few. But once someone knew, they would definitely follow, as it was a chance to get rich, and no one would be indifferent.

The SUV followed Ye Guichen's group into the service area but just parked not far off without anyone getting out.

Initially, Ye Guichen thought it was a coincidence that the SUV was following them, but now he was pretty sure it was after them.

As for the Snake Head Mountain trip, Ye Guichen hadn't told anyone. But since he took out the three pieces of Seven-colored Lotus Jade, he always had a feeling that someone was watching him.

As for the other party's intentions, Ye Guichen couldn't guess, so he decided to ignore it.

"Don't worry about them for now. If they dare to mess around, we'll just kill them," Ye Guichen whispered back to Wu Caijun, "After we get off the highway, there's still a stretch of mountain road. The SUV may not be able to continue. Make sure Wu Sandao and Jingang stay alert and protect Ranran and Mi Lan, understood?"

With Wu Sandao and Jingang around, Ye Guichen was not worried about any accidents.

"Got it!" Wu Caijun replied.

The group had their meal and resumed their journey.

As expected, the black SUV continued to follow.

Snake Head Mountain was part of the Qi Mountain Range, which stretched for dozens of miles like a coiled giant snake. Snake Head Mountain was at the center, surrounded by the Qi Mountain Range.

Strangely, Snake Head Mountain, which appeared to be the head of the snake, looked like it had been split open by a huge axe, with a large trench down the middle.

Because of this, to get to Snake Head Mountain, one had to take the winding mountain road from the edge of Qi Mountain.

The winding road was initially passable by vehicles, but it became harder to navigate. Eventually, it became so difficult that even walking was a challenge.

Over the years, Qingzhou Province had planned to develop the Qi Mountain Range into a tourist destination. While much of the outskirts of Qi Mountain had become a tourist spot, the interior remained wild and untouched, with only a few explorers able to venture in.

After getting off the highway, Ye Guichen's group drove along the winding mountain road for over an hour, where the path could barely accommodate a cart.

"Guichen, where are we going for this outing? It feels more like an adventure," Chen Ziran commented, her excitement palpable as the road became more difficult.

Mi Lan also looked puzzled.

She had only wanted to go out for a walk. How did they end up in the mountains?

Ye Guichen smiled, "An outing should look like one, right? I heard there's a tomb in the mountains. We might find some treasure while we're at it."

"A tomb?" Chen Ziran's eyes lit up.

Mi Lan also perked up, "Really? That's great! I always wanted to date a superman who could take me on adventures into the mountains or the depths of the ocean to find treasures. Haha, I never thought we'd be going to a tomb today."

This seemed to lift Mi Lan's spirits; she reverted to her usual quirky self.

Saying that, Mi Lan glanced at Ye Guichen, her eyes showing a hint of expectation.

Ye Guichen didn't dare meet her gaze, "There's no more road ahead, so let's walk from here."

"Okay, great!" Chen Ziran and Mi Lan clapped in delight.

All girls have a natural desire for adventure, especially with the man they love.

Chen Ziran lost all her usual cool demeanor as a CEO and eagerly got out of the car to start sorting their gear.

Mi Lan sneaked a peek at Ye Guichen, but all she saw was his back as he got out of the car. She couldn't help but pause, a memory of a figure riding a motorcycle flashing in her mind.

Moments later, Mi Lan shook her head hard, "Impossible, he's just a country bumpkin. He can't be my superhero."

Shaking off the unrealistic thoughts, she quickly got out of the car.

Just as they stepped out, the black SUV pulled up behind them.

The black SUV charged forward and blocked Ye Guichen's car completely.

Four or five burly men quickly got out of the SUV.

They were all dressed in black, with a small azure dragon embroidered on their chests.

Each of them held a machete engraved with the pattern of an azure dragon.

"Azure Dragon Commerce?" Seeing their attire, Ye Guichen instantly knew where they were from.

However, Chen Ziran and Mi Lan were terrified at the sight, "What are they going to do?"
