After stepping out of the stone forest, Tan Xiu arranged three layers of arrays in the periphery: Illusion Array, Star Transposition Array, and Defense Array. The Illusion Array could confuse the eyes of others and make them unable to discover the existence of the stone forest. If anyone rashly entered, they would be sent out by the Star Transposition Array. The innermost Defense Array was specifically used to deal with cultivators. Unless one was a Golden Core Stage cultivator, it would be very difficult to break through the Defense Array and enter.
The three layers of arrays were interlocked with each other, ingeniously and gradually increasing in power.
"It's done."
Tan Xiu wiped the sweat on his forehead. It took him two to three hours to engrave the array pattern, and it was quite strenuous for him to arrange it with such a high concentration of mental energy. It could be said that the arrangement of these three layers of arrays was the most profound and powerful array he had arranged after returning to Earth.
Kang Xia took out a handkerchief from her carry-on bag and carefully wiped the sweat on Tan Xiu's forehead. Then, she asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Tan Xiu shook his head and smilingly said, "It's just that I've consumed a lot of my mental energy, but it's nothing serious. However, you must keep in mind that you must never tell anyone about the existence of the Spirit Spring except for the few of us. The location of this Earth Vein Spirit Spring is a treasure land, and we'll suffer huge losses in the future once it's known by others. "
"Alright!"
Kang Xia and Andy nodded, and even Gu Yin and Tang Xiaohan quickly complied.
In the dead of night.
Sparkling sparks flickered at the foot of the mountain as cold air raged around the two SUVs. However, several stalwart figures were standing beside the cars, constantly looking at the mountain peak under the moonlight.
Two kilometers away from them, Zhao Donghe was standing on the second floor of a house behind the Su Family Village, observing the people beside the two SUVs with binoculars. There were more than a dozen policemen in police uniforms beside him. The most eye-catching thing was the bulging bags on their waists, which were obviously equipped with guns.
"Chief Zhao, it's been five days. What do they want?"
A young policeman with a tired face asked while yawning.
Zhao Donghe glanced at him and said, "Are you tired? Being a policeman requires the spirit of being able to bear hardships and endure hardships. Back when I was in the Criminal Police Unit, let alone five days, I even had to stay there for half a month. Those people were acting suspiciously, and it was highly possible that they had ill intentions. So, no matter how cold or tired he is, we have to continue monitoring him. "
The young policeman looked a bit embarrassed as he repeatedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Chief Zhao, you're right. I'm just curious as to what they're trying to do. They've actually stayed in the back mountain for five whole days. "
Zhao Donghe said, "The longer they stay, the bigger their scheme will be. Alright, I'm going down to take a nap. If you find anything unusual, wake me up immediately. "
The young policeman took the binoculars and watched Zhao Donghe leave a few steps. Then, he picked up the binoculars and continued to keep watch. Just as Zhao Donghe was about to go down the ladder, the young policeman's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly shouted, "There's a situation, Chief Zhao."
Zhao Donghe was taken aback for a moment. Then, he strode back and grabbed the binoculars to observe.
"Hmm? That's … "
At the bottom of the mountain.
After spending a few hours, Tan Xiu's group finally came out of the mountain. He looked at Mo Awu's group of three and asked with a smile, "You've worked hard. Did anything unexpected happen in the past few days?"
"There are policemen hiding in the dark to protect us, Boss," said Mo Awu. "Nothing unexpected happened. On the first day after you entered the mountain, some nearby villagers came here. But then the police came and no one came again. "
The police?
"Are there policemen nearby?" asked Tan Xiu with a frown.
"They're in the village two or three kilometers away." Mo Awu nodded and said, "We've observed them. They are observing us with binoculars. In order to figure out their identity, Biao Wang took the opportunity to go to town to buy food and quietly lurked there. He found out the identity of those policemen. They are from the Qinghe County Public Security Bureau. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "They should have received a report from the masses and thought that you're acting suspiciously here. Forget it. Let's just leave since it's a misunderstanding. "
The two cars started.
Just as they arrived near the Su Family Village, they were stopped by four or five police cars. Tan Xiu didn't rush to get off the car. He looked at the policemen in front and saw Zhao Donghe hurriedly coming out with two policemen. Tan Xiu raised his brows and opened the door to get off.
"Tan Xiu, what's going on with you?"
A forced smile hung on Zhao Donghe's face as he quickly took out a cigarette.
Tan Xiu took the cigarette from Zhao Donghe and said with a smile, "Chief Zhao, if my guess is correct, we should have made a mistake. I just heard from my bodyguards that the police have been secretly protecting us for the past few days. As a matter of fact, I brought my friends and family to this mountain for camping. But we got lost in the back of the mountain, so we had to play and wander around. It took us a few days to get out. "
Zhao Donghe was dumbfounded. Never in his dreams did he expect that the Public Security Bureau would receive a report from the masses saying that there were very suspicious bad guys in the vicinity. He even put down his other things and squatted in this freezing cold weather for four or five days, only to make a mistake.
He looked at Kang Xia and Andy, as well as Gu Yin and Tang Xiaohan. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times. He really didn't know what to say. Although Kang Xia and Andy gave him a breathtaking feeling, he believed that Tan Xiu wouldn't do anything bad since he brought a woman and a child with him.
"Cough, cough … since it's a misunderstanding, then we don't need to stay here to suffer. Ah, Tan Xiu! If you come to play again later, please inform us in advance. Else, if we receive a report from the masses, we'll have to … "
Tan Xiu could hear a bit of embarrassment and resentment in Zhao Donghe's tone. He immediately looked apologetic and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Chief Zhao. I just wanted to make my family and friends happy and never thought that this misunderstanding would happen. I heard that the Public Security Bureau's kitchen is dilapidated and should have been repaired long ago. How about this, I'll donate 500,000 yuan as a token of my appreciation. "
"This …"
Zhao Donghe's heart was as clear as a mirror. Tan Xiu was expressing goodwill to him and using this method to apologize. Saying that the Public Security Bureau's kitchen was dilapidated was simply a nonsensical excuse. However, Tan Xiu's attitude made him have a whole new level of respect for him. He secretly praised Tan Xiu's conduct and finally agreed.
Because he had to leave.
Under the "escort" of four or five police cars, Tan Xiu and his entourage arrived at the highway intersection. After saying goodbye to each other, they then rushed back to Star City.
It was already early in the morning when they returned to Star City. After Tan Xiu sent Mo Awu to send Kang Xia and Andy back, he personally drove back to South Gate Town. Although Gu Yin and Tang Xiaohan had slept for a few hours on the road, Tan Xiu still told them to go back to their rooms to rest.
"Tan Xiu, a Boss who claimed to be Yuan Zhengxuan came to our house the day before yesterday. He said that he wanted to call you, but your phone has been turned off. I told him that you went out of town, and he said to wait for you to come back and contact him as soon as possible. "Mu Qingping waited until Tan Xiu went downstairs and hurriedly said.
Tan Xiu's eyes lit up as he immediately nodded and said, "I got it. I'll go find him after breakfast."
Mu Qingping said with a smile, "I've already bought the plane ticket to Saipan. It'll be on the 16th of January at noon."
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Why don't you stay at home for a few days?"
Mu Qingping said with a smile, "This is my home, and Nine Dragons Island is also my home. It's been some time since I've returned to China, and I don't feel at ease letting others take care of things there for a long time. "
Tan Xiu said, "Since the plane ticket has been booked, then it's up to you! I'll send two bodyguards to go with you this time. Don't refuse. Your safety is very important, and I must ensure that you arrive at Nine Dragons Island smoothly. "
Mu Qingping's heart warmed and she swallowed back the words she wanted to refuse.
After Tan Xiu finished his breakfast, his mobile had been charged to 20%. After taking the charger and leaving, he called Yuan Zhengxuan and arranged to meet him at a small electronics factory in Star City.
"Here."
As Tan Xiu arrived at the entrance of the small electronics factory, he saw Yuan Zhengxuan waving at him from the direction of the security room. After parking the car at the side, he got off the car and said with a smile, "Uncle Yuan, I went out of town temporarily and just came back early this morning. You didn't wait long, right?"
Yuan Zhengxuan said with a smile, "It's alright. I've conveyed your idea of needing scientific and technological talents to those researchers in advance. They didn't immediately agree because they don't know the product direction you want to research. Now everyone is inside and they want to talk to you. "
"No problem." Tan Xiu said. "I'll have to trouble Uncle Yuan to lead the way."
After driving into the electronics factory, Tan Xiu learned from Yuan Zhengxuan that the secret research lab was located here. The products the researchers had researched had been completed, so most of the security forces had been removed. Although it was called an electronics factory in name, it was actually just a cover-up.
"Boss!"
At the entrance of a three-story building, two uniformed security guards saluted and called out.
Yuan Zhengxuan nodded and led Tan Xiu inside. They then stopped in front of an elevator installed in one of the rooms. Fingerprint verification, retina verification, password verification, and work card swiping. After a series of verification, the two entered the elevator and Yuan Zhengxuan directly pressed the "-2" button.
On the second floor underground.
After the two entered, a huge space appeared in front of Tan Xiu. The environment inside was almost the same as those in the movies, with all kinds of high-tech instruments and molten iron walls. It looked like an impregnable fortress.
Except for the sealed room at the innermost side, dozens of researchers were sitting in front of computer desks and playing with their computers, some were reading magazines, and some were playing with their mobile phones as if they were playing mobile games.
"Clap, clap …"
Yuan Zhengxuan clapped his hands and said aloud, "Everyone, please stop what you're doing. Let me introduce you to someone. This is Tan Xiu, a famous figure in Star City. I think you should know his identity. "
"Star City Chinese Medical Hospital's Young Divine Doctor."
An old man with a head full of white hair and a white coat came to greet him. He adjusted the frame of his glasses and extended his hand with a smile. "I'm Mo Yi, the director of the research institute. You can call me Director Mo or Professor Mo."
