Chapter 960: Scientific Research Team
Looking at Zhang Yang's Appearance, while he is not a heinous villain, he is definitely not a good person. Have these people given all their kindness to a scoundrel?
"And who are you? Does our business have anything to do with you?" Zhang Yan said coldly, "You people have absolutely no empathy. He is a human being too; do you have the heart to make him walk this kind of road in handcuffs?"
"Pitiful people must have something hateful about them." Yu Sichen said indifferently, "Miss, it is never wrong to listen to the people protecting you."
"That's enough, Zhang Yan. Brother Wu and the others are here to protect us; listening to them is the right thing to do." Another girl spoke up.
"Zhou Jie, don't interfere. I am determined to stand up to him today. Professor Yang, Zhang Yang is our guide. If we lose him, we won't be able to find that Graveyard at all. If something happens to him or he gets sick, can our research still continue?" Zhang Yan ignored her companion's dissuasion.
"Wu Yu, open the handcuffs and let him rest for a bit. It's fine, he can't run away." Professor Yang thought for a moment and said.
Wu Yu felt helpless. He had no choice but to glare fiercely at Zhang Yang before opening the handcuffs for Professor Yang.
A strange light flashed in Zhang Yang's eyes, and then he picked up the items and began to eat in large mouthfuls.
"Young man, are you here for a trip?" Professor Yang looked toward Chen Yu and Yu Sichen.
"Yes." Chen Yu glanced at Professor Yang and saw him panting heavily, "Professor Yang, you have an external wind-cold, and your altitude sickness is quite severe. If you keep walking forward, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."
"It's fine, I can hold on. I'll be better if I just push through it." Professor Yang coughed a few times.
"I have some Medicine here that can alleviate your condition. Take it." Chen Yu took out some medicine for calming Qi and stabilizing Qi to alleviate the Liangyuan and handed it to him.
"Really? Then thank you very much." Professor Yang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the medicine, "Are you a Yisheng, young man?"
"Yes, I am a Yisheng. Take the medicine in three doses; it will cure your chronic stomach ailment." Chen Yu said.
"How did you know I have a stomach ailment?" Professor Yang looked at Chen Yu in surprise.
"I already said, I am a Yisheng." Chen Yu smiled slightly.
"Good, good, thank you." Professor Yang nodded and took out his water cup, intending to take the medicine.
"Wait." Just at this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly lunged forward and snatched the medicine from Professor Yang's hand.
"What is it, Xiao Yan?" Professor Yang was stunned.
"This person's identity is unknown; his things cannot be taken casually." Zhang Yan stared at Chen Yu and said, "I suspect you are an enemy agent. Wu Yu, check his identity."
"Have you watched too many movies?" Chen Yu looked at this woman with annoyance. Honestly, he had no fondness for this type of self-righteous person.
"Zhang Yan, don't go around suspecting others. Only a few people know about our operation this time, and spies cannot get into this place." Wu Yu's brow furrowed; he also felt that Zhang Yan was being a bit thick-headed.
"You must remember that your duty is to be responsible for our safety. This scientific research of ours is very important. If something goes wrong, you people will have to face a military tribunal." Zhang Yan said sternly.
"I will be responsible for my actions, but you also need to pay attention to your own attitude and tone." Wu Yu was furious; he had endured this woman for a long time.
"You aren't from Mingshan Prison, are you?" Chen Yu suddenly asked Wu Yu.
"No, I was seconded from elsewhere." Wu Yu said, "Apologies, sir, for the trouble."
"It's nothing. Are you from the Heaven War Pavilion or the Tianyuan Pavilion?" Chen Yu smiled.
"Who are you?" Wu Yu's expression suddenly turned vigilant, and his two subordinates reached for their waists almost simultaneously.
The two men's identities were top secret; even Professor Yang's group, who were traveling with them, did not know their status. But how did Chen Yu know?
"I told you, this person is suspicious." Zhang Yan clamored, "Quick, catch him! I discovered this; you cannot steal my credit when you report to your superiors."
"Are you mentally disabled?" Chen Yu glanced at Zhang Yan, unable to hold back. This woman was truly mentally disabled.
He took out his Five Elements Order and said, "Don't be nervous, we're on the same side."
"Five Elements Order?" A strange look appeared in Wu Yu's eyes. The three of them straightened their bodies almost simultaneously and saluted Chen Yu, "Greetings, Chief."
Of course they recognized the Five Elements Order. Furthermore, once the Five Elements Order appeared, it was as if the Pavilion Master had arrived in person. One could imagine how much authority that carried.
"Alright, my name is Chen Yu. Forget about the 'Chief' stuff." Chen Yu waved his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Chen." Cold sweat seeped onto Wu Yu's forehead. He never expected to run into this big shot here.
"Which Pavilion are you from?" Chen Yu asked.
"Tianyuan Pavilion. Our mission this time is to assist Professor Yang in researching a new type of element in a certain Graveyard. This element has the potential to replace existing energy sources." Wu Yu replied.
"I'll go with you. Since you are from the Tianyuan Pavilion, you are one of our own." Chen Yu nodded.
"Thank you, Chief." Wu Yu was overjoyed. With someone of Chen Yu's level accompanying them, they could truly guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
"Wait, Wu Yu, who is he? By what right are you letting him join our team?" Zhang Yan was displeased.
"By the right that he is one of our own, and he is an officer-level figure." Wu Yu said coldly.
"I don't agree." Zhang Yan shrieked, "Can you prove his identity just with a broken badge?"
"Shut up! What broken badge? That is the Five Elements Order! You don't know a damn thing. If you keep blathering, I'll slap you across the face." Wu Yu was furious. This woman was too good at nagging; he had endured her for a long time. Not only was she ugly, but she also caused so much trouble.
"You dare speak to me like that? I—I'm going to report you!" Zhang Yan shrieked in a rage.
"Do as you please, but you need to get this straight: we are responsible for protecting your safety, not your servants. If you dare to boss me around again, get out of this team." Wu Yu said angrily.
"Zhang Yan, say less." Seeing that both sides were at a stalemate, Zhou Jie hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, "Wu Yu, this is just her personality; don't be like her."
"Hmph, at home she is a pampered young lady and everyone gives way to her, but she needs to understand what kind of place this is. This is the Wurenqu; there could be danger at any moment. If we continue to indulge her temperament, it will eventually harm everyone." Wu Yu said coldly.
"That's enough, Zhang Yan, go rest." Zhou Jie sighed and pulled Zhang Yan to the side.
Zhang Yan was so angry her face turned red, but there was nothing she could do. She was the type of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Once Wu Yu really lost his temper, she immediately cowered.
"Professor Yang, take the medicine, I guarantee it will be fine." Chen Yu smiled, "Also, your body is not suited for this kind of long-distance trekking work. Next time there is work like this, have a young person come instead."
"Mr. Chen, I have to come." Professor Yang took the medicine and sighed, "Young people need tempering, and as for the younger generation who are researching this field, they all have other important posts, so it has to be me."
