Peach Blossom Divine Medical God-Chapter 1843 - 1837: Water Monster?
"We’re not talking about those things."
"Then what are you talking about?"
"There’s a monster in your lake! We don’t dare continue fishing here; who knows when we’ll be attacked." The wealthy businessman said directly.
"What, a monster? That’s impossible." Chen Yang was truly puzzled this time.
He couldn’t understand why these wealthy businessmen would say such things. How could there be a monster in a perfectly fine lake?
"It’s true! If you don’t believe me, ask everyone here; many people have seen it." The wealthy businessman said confidently.
Seeing their stance, Chen Yang started to realize the situation wasn’t simple.
Most of these people are wealthy, with net worths of several million at least, and the more powerful ones have assets exceeding a billion.
If they just wanted a refund, they surely wouldn’t concoct such a shabby excuse.
Moreover, from their expressions, it seemed like they weren’t lying.
"Everyone, can someone explain the situation?" Chen Yang asked.
"Just yesterday at dusk, when the sky was almost dark, many of us saw it while fishing..."
The wealthy businessmen immediately recounted what happened yesterday.
It turned out that at dusk yesterday, many of them saw a large serpentine body writhing in the lake.
Because it was dusk, everyone thought it was an optical illusion, and after marveling for a bit, they didn’t think much of it.
But last night, the lake water suddenly churned, and everyone saw something resembling a monster’s head emerging from the water.
The loud splashing sounds it made were terrifying.
Many fishermen were scared off right then.
Those who didn’t leave immediately were the ones who didn’t fish at night; they found out about this only the next morning.
Hence, they were here to request a refund.
"You wouldn’t believe it, but here’s the video shot last night by a fellow fisherman. It’s posted in our group." The chubby wealthy man described the incident vividly and then pulled out his phone, playing a video for Chen Yang.
In the video, the lake water suddenly churned under the night sky, forming a large whirlpool in the center.
And within the whirlpool, a shadow resembling a large snake appeared intermittently.
The scene was utterly terrifying.
After watching the video, Chen Yang was astounded!
He didn’t expect there to be such an authentic video; it was so real.
Could there indeed be a monster in the lake? Or perhaps a spiritual creature.
"This..."
Lin Qianqian didn’t initially believe in things like lake monsters, but after seeing the video, she was also frightened and didn’t know how to speak for the resort.
"See? Everything’s great here, the fish we catch are big, but it’s not worth risking our lives. Better just refund us." The wealthy man urged.
As a cultivator, Chen Yang naturally wouldn’t fear any so-called lake monster.
After watching the video, he estimated that there indeed was something in the lake, but these businessmen are important to the resort. So he came up with a plan.
"Everyone, it seems there is indeed something unusual in the lake, but I’m sure it couldn’t be a monster. What do you say? Perhaps it’s a snake or some other creature." Chen Yang explained.
"No matter what it is, causing such a commotion at night is still frightening." The wealthy man insisted.
"Of course, I understand that, but I hope you’ll give us a chance! I believe you were satisfied with our resort’s services when you got the membership card. If you miss out on the fun just because of this minor thing, isn’t it a loss?"
Chen Yang’s words resonated with these wealthy businessmen.
They have money and intend to enjoy life, after all.
Not to mention, the resort’s facilities, service attitude, and scenic resources are top-notch.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t spend hundreds of thousands on membership cards.
Hundreds of thousands aren’t much to them, but it’s not wasted money either.
"Opportunity? What kind of opportunity?" The wealthy man asked.
"How about this, give me two days. You can either go back or enjoy the resort during this time, all for free. During these two days, I will hire professionals to investigate the lake thoroughly and provide you with a satisfactory explanation."
"If, after two days, you’re not satisfied with the explanation or if an explanation isn’t provided, you can request a refund, and I’ll handle it immediately, okay?"
Chen Yang expressed his intentions sincerely, showing appropriate goodwill.
Offering them a complimentary stay for two days.
Upon hearing his proposal, the wealthy businessmen fell silent.
The resort indeed has its appeal to them, and many were reluctant to leave.
After thorough consideration, they all agreed.
"Alright, we can give it a chance. But we’re not sleeping in those accommodations by the lake anymore; you must relocate us to the hotel downhill." The wealthy man said.
Seeing everyone agreed, Chen Yang smiled.
"Thank you for your understanding. That can definitely be arranged. Rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory resolution." Chen Yang expressed his gratitude with a smile.
Then he turned to Lin Qianqian and instructed, "Qianqian, please arrange for our guests to stay at the Inn Downhill immediately."
"Okay... alright."
Lin Qianqian was still stunned, as it seemed there was indeed something in the lake.
Moreover, she admired Chen Yang’s ability to resolve the situation that she had no idea how to handle.
Once she came to her senses, she quickly did as Chen Yang instructed.
She directed the staff to escort the wealthy group downhill for lodging, while those unwilling to stay left by car.
Soon, the noisy scene returned to tranquility, leaving only Chen Yang and Lin Qianqian.
"Chen Yang, what do we do now? Should we contact professionals for investigation?" Lin Qianqian asked Chen Yang.
Chen Yang fixated his gaze on the lake, shaking his head, "No need."
"Then what will we do when the time comes..." Lin Qianqian was puzzled.
"I’ll handle this matter, you go take care of your own tasks. If I need anything, I’ll find you." Chen Yang said as he turned to look at Lin Qianqian.
"Okay, then I’ll go take care of other things." Lin Qianqian nodded and left the scene to handle other company matters.
After everyone had left, Chen Yang’s gaze returned to the seemingly tranquil lake.
"There should be a spiritual creature living in this lake; it looks like I’ll need to sleep on the mountain tonight." Chen Yang murmured.
Ordinary people find such monstrous creatures terrifying.
But as a cultivator, Chen Yang was accustomed to such things.
What puzzled him, though, was...
When he watched the video provided by the wealthy men earlier, he felt an uncanny familiarity.
But he couldn’t quite figure it out.
"Oh well, let’s go prepare and meet this lake monster tonight."
Chen Yang pondered for a while, then left the scene.
After dinner, he laid out a mat, and along with Wangcai and Eagle Bro, he came alone to the lakeside.
