At The Bottom Chapter 297

“Mysterious creatures? Missing twelve people?” Cao Yunfeng said in disbelief.

“Yes, Mr. Cao, it happened in Pit 3, fifty meters underground, suddenly everyone was swallowed, we didn’t even see the mysterious creature, I was lucky enough to stand at the very outside, so I escaped!” Bloodman still looked stunned.

At once, the crowd was buzzing as well.

“No way, this, what’s going on?”

“There’s a monster in the pit?”

“No way, this is too scary!”

“If this is true, General Manager Cao is too pitiful, and cheating us out of our investment, this is a mining disaster, if we don’t get it, we’ll lose all our money.”

Listening to the chatter of the crowd, Cao Yunfeng was secretly anxious in his heart.

Yes, you know, you are here to solicit investment today.

Just now, Xiong Dahai had stirred things up so much that some people had already started to back out.

Now this thing suddenly came out again, that was really adding insult to injury.

“Don’t worry, everyone.” Cao Yunfeng was so anxious that he only thought of how to pacify the people as soon as possible, so he hurriedly said, “There are no strange and weird things in the world. In return, I hope you all believe in me, if you help me Cao Yunfeng with your drops of kindness today, I will definitely repay you with a spring of water tomorrow!”

This sentence was still somewhat infectious.

After all, Cao Yunfeng was, after all, the number one person in Wujiang City.

At this moment, he also spoke so impa*sionedly, and some people, in turn, were moved.

“Oh, Cao Yunfeng, how many times has this been an accident at your gold mine?” Just at this time, Xiong Dahai stood out again, and laughed heatedly, “I remember when you first took over, the gold mine collapsed once, and at that time, you couldn’t even find the fault of the collapse, right, and then in the pit, the gas exploded several times, and there were even workers who returned home and died inexplicably, right, and now, huh, there are mysterious creatures coming out again, causing so many people missing, do you know that this series of events is by no means isolated, but interconnected!”

As soon as the crowd heard this, they were buzzing with chatter again.

When Cao Yunfeng saw that Xiong Dahai was about to start confusing people again, he couldn’t help but frown and looked at Xiong Dahai, “What do you mean by that? The gold mine collapse was nothing more than a mistake in the scaffolding, the gas explosion was because the geological engineer didn’t calculate it properly, and the workers who died back home were later known to have been caused by excessive alcohol consumption, what do you mean they are connected?”

“Oh, what are you still pretending to be confused about?” Xiong Dahai said, “Since you’re still pretending, I’ll be honest, that gold mine is simply unmineable, legend has it that it is the tomb of King Chu, your mining has destroyed the feng shui there and disturbed King Chu and his retinue who have been resting underground for a thousand years, do you think the events at your gold mine site are independent? You are wrong, this is the revenge of the spirits you have disturbed! There are some things in the world that cannot be touched, do you understand? This is just the beginning, if you continue to mine, the consequences will get worse and worse, and if you still persist in your obsession, your family will surely be ruined in time! Of course, that’s what will happen to any of you who invest in Cao Yunfeng, so if you’re brave enough, invest to help! Oh.”

This sentence of Xiong Dahai’s was really to the point.

At once, the crowd’s faces turned pale when he said that, especially those who were just now planning to support Cao Yunfeng in their hearts, immediately stopped speaking.

“Chief Xiong is right, that’s the Nine Immortals Mountain, I’ve heard from the old man in my family since I was a child that it’s the tomb where the King of Chu is buried, it’s not to be disturbed!”

“That’s right, the Nine Immortals Mountain is actually a huge mausoleum, going to mine any gold mine is digging up people’s graves ah, this is to be retributed, not to mention that it is also the tomb of an ancient king!”

“We, Wujiang, belonged to the state of Chu in ancient times, and the land of Jingchu, where ghosts and gods are most prevalent, especially the ancient people, are much more powerful than us in terms of gods and goddesses, seriously, such things should still be revered a little.”

“Yes, Chief Xiong just said it too, so many things happened in the gold mine, this is definitely not normal, it must have offended the mysterious power and was retaliated!”

“It’s good that Mr. Xiong reminded me, otherwise if I had invested in the gold mine, I would have pushed myself into the fire and gotten into trouble!”

“That’s right, it’s better not to get involved in such things, after all, ghosts and gods are unclear, so stay away, definitely stay away!”

At that moment, the crowd was talking, all shaking their heads.

At this moment, when they looked at Cao Yunfeng again, they were already filled with a sense of caution and resistance.

Yes, money was important, but life was more important.

Some of them even looked at Cao Yunfeng with a sense of sympathy in their eyes.

In his heart, Cao Yunfeng really wanted to cry, but he also understood that once these people thought that the gold mine was not clean, it would be really bad.

What’s more, now Xiong Dahai was still in the middle of it, and with his name and status, he naturally had a lot of appeal.

Moreover, now that such a big thing had happened at the gold mine, Cao Yunfeng couldn’t stay here any longer.

He had no time to care about this place anymore and immediately rushed to the gold mine.

From Wujiang City, it was not an easy task to get to the back of the Nine Immortals Mountain.

In order to transport the mine’s equipment and machinery, Cao Yunfeng had invested money in building a road, which also served only the gold mine.

The road junction is guarded by a man to prevent any other unoccupied vehicles from entering.

The road is not directly connected to the gold mine because the terrain in the back of the Nine Immortals Mountains is too complex and the geological environment is also very complicated. The deeper you go into the mountains, the more expensive it is to build the road and even Cao Yunfeng could not afford to invest such a large amount of money in road construction.

So, when this road into the back of the mountain reached its end, there was a cliff in front of it.

And on the cliff of the cliff, there was a lift.

A very rugged lift, like one on a construction site, with exposed steel cables and wheeled machinery, about a hundred metres high, just resting silently on the cliff.

It was still mind-blowing to suddenly see such a huge man-made tracery in these mountains, which were so sublime and full of huge rocky cliffs and trees.

Cao Yunfeng rode in the car, got off at the end of the road, and then got on the lift and made his way up.

This lift was not enclosed, it was really surrounded by a wire mesh fence, and standing in the lift, one could see the surroundings completely.

As the lift rose, the surrounding trees and mountains gradually lowered, and the view gradually opened up. Gradually, it was as if the whole person had risen to the clouds, and as far as the eye could see, the endless mountains were covered in green and stretched to the sky.

That feeling was really mind-blowing, a feeling of wandering away from the sky.

However, Cao Yunfeng had long since gotten used to these sights.

Finally, he arrived at the gold mine.

At this moment, the entire gold mine was already in a mess.

“What the hell is going on?”

When Cao Yunfeng found the person in charge on the gold mine, the person in charge’s face was white with fear and his speech was stuttering.

“That, Mr. Cao, today we were conducting a deep exploration in Pit No. 3, and when we reached 50 metres below, a total of thirteen people went down, but after we went down, not long after, there was an explosion-like tremor from below, and then the pit lift light came on wildly, indicating that the people below were coming up. We hurriedly pulled up the people from below and thought they would be thirteen, but only one person came up, covered in blood, and only after careful identification did we realise it was Yuan Ke. …”

“Alright, alright, I know the next one.”

Cao Yunfeng waved his hand, indicating to the person in charge to stop talking, and then added, “Hurry up with the rescue work and investigate the exact cause of the accident.”

“But General Cao, Yuan Ke said that a monster was encountered, if this is true ……” the person in charge said nervously.

“How is that possible!” Cao Yunfeng said angrily, “Yuan Ke was just frightened.”

It’s also true that firstly this kind of thing Cao Yunfeng certainly wouldn’t believe, where in the world would a monster come from?

The second was that Cao Yunfeng didn’t want to believe this reason either, after all, if there really was a monster or something, coupled with the words of those people at the invitation meeting just now, this was afraid that the gold mine would really be finished.

“But, now everyone on the gold mine is rumouring about this, saying that we have offended the ghosts and gods underground by mining the gold, and that ……” the person in charge said, pointing around.

Cao Yunfeng frowned and looked around.

Sure enough, on the construction site, at this time, many people in groups of three and five, gathered together, all whispering, and all with an unspoken and secretive look on their faces.

Cao Yunfeng’s heart became even heavier.

The current state of the gold mine was already bad enough.

Now that people were on tenterhooks, wouldn’t it be worse?

Cao Yunfeng knew that the most important thing so far was to stabilise people’s hearts.

As he thought, he was about to speak.

At this very moment, the mobile phone suddenly rang.

On the phone, Cao Hong’s voice was very nervous, “Dad, where are you, come back quickly, our house is surrounded by many people!”
