Chen Mochuan was about to step forward and call his father to go home for dinner, but found that the other party didn't notice him at all. He just walked with his head lowered, turned a corner in a hurry, and walked in the completely opposite direction to going home.
His "Dad" stuck in his throat and he didn't shout out after all.
"Where is he going?" Chen Mochuan was confused, his footsteps moved subconsciously, and he followed quietly.
He had always felt that his father had been hiding something from him since he came back from his business trip. He had asked many times before but could not find out the truth. Now that he saw his whereabouts were so strange, he knew that this was a good opportunity to find out the situation.
After twists and turns, including a city bus ride, Chen Qingyang walked into a slightly old building after about twenty minutes.
Chen Mochuan, who was following not far away, saw his father entering an elevator and ran over quickly. After watching the elevator door close, he pressed the up button on the operating screen of the same elevator.
Seeing that the elevator showed that it stopped on the 16th floor for a while and then began to descend, Chen Mochuan determined that his father's destination was the 16th floor, and then turned and walked towards the lobby.
Checking the floor display sign in the center of the lobby on the first floor, he found that the 16th floor was the office of a company named "Lianxin Pharmaceutical".
Antu City relies on the Chengbo River with a vast watershed and extremely convenient water transportation. In addition, the surrounding Wilderness Zone is rich in medicinal animal and plant resources, and has unique advantages in the development of the pharmaceutical industry.
"Wuzheng Pharmaceutical" is the earliest representative to rise here. It started from a small local factory. After decades of development, it finally moved its headquarters to Songcheng, the provincial capital of Songjiang Province, and grew into a large pharmaceutical giant with a national reputation.
Wuzheng's success has had a huge demonstration effect. Many small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies that are optimistic about the resources and policies of this place have settled in Antu. Even many large pharmaceutical companies have chosen to establish production bases or R&D centers here.
Over time, Antu City formed a highly concentrated pharmaceutical industry cluster and became a local pillar industry.
This industry has brought huge economic benefits to the city. It not only provides a large number of jobs and contributes considerable tax revenue, but also drives the prosperity of upstream and downstream related industries such as logistics, packaging, R&D services, etc., forming a strong economic pull effect.
Because of this, although Antu City is only a county-level city, its economic aggregate and city size have exceeded that of many Earth-Grade cities, giving it a special status within Songjiang Province.
There have even been rumors that Antu City is expected to be classified as an economic development zone and the administrative level will be upgraded to Earth-Grade City.
With the expansion of cities and the improvement of environmental protection requirements, pharmaceutical factories built in urban areas in the early years have been gradually relocated to industrial areas on the edge of the city under government planning.
Nowadays, most pharmaceutical companies only retain offices in urban areas for business reception and administrative management.
Regarding "Lianxin Pharmaceutical", Chen Mochuan has some impressions. It is similar to Wu Zheng. It also started from Antu in the early years. With its independently developed Blood-Qi Capsule, it opened up the market in surrounding cities and occupied a place in the field of low-end martial arts supplements.
Remembering that the building diagonally opposite Mingxin Martial Arts Hall where his father first appeared, there was also an office of a pharmaceutical company, and that Chen Qingyang itself was engaged in pharmaceutical work, he had a guess in his mind.
"Looking at the sad look on Dad's face recently, could it be that he has encountered trouble in the company and wants to change his job?" Chen Mochuan frowned slightly, "That's not right. The year-end bonus for the business trip project has just been paid out, and the amount is not small. I have specifically confirmed the balance of his bank account... If there is a stalemate with the company, how can the money be obtained smoothly?"
The more he thought about it, the more contradictory he felt. He thought for a while and found that he couldn't figure out the clues, so he stopped thinking about it and decided to wait nearby for his father to come out and see if there would be any new discoveries. If there was something wrong, he would find an opportunity to directly ask the other party about the specific situation. There would be no need for so many twists and turns between father and son.
At this time, he saw the security guard of the building looking at him with a strange look. He understood that the series of actions after entering here might be a bit strange and attracted the other person's attention. Thinking that he would continue to wait for his father outside the building for a while, he simply left the building and went to a nearby convenience store to buy a mask and wear it to cover his face.
The clothes I wore when I went out in the morning were all soaked due to the battle with Hong Yucheng, so I put them in my backpack. Currently, Chen Mochuan is wearing Mingxin Martial Arts Hall's standard martial arts uniform. It is estimated that even if his father saw him from a distance, he would not be able to recognize him in this outfit.
He didn't know how long it would take for his father to come out. Chen Mochuan was not going to waste this time, so he wanted to stand still.
However, it was too strange to stand in an open place in a public place, and it would easily attract unnecessary attention from the surrounding people. In order to avoid possible trouble, he wanted to find a place where he could hide his body.
Fortunately, although this place still belongs to East District, it is different from the bustling area over there at the Mingxin Martial Arts Hall. It is considered an older area. In addition to a few office buildings, there are also many older residential buildings and many small alleys extending in all directions.
So Chen Mochuan chose an alley that looked very remote. It would not attract the attention of others, and he could see the main entrance of the building with his eyesight, so he could observe his father's condition at any time.
He took a stance and stood up directly Spirit Pivot Primordial Stance, but instead of tempering the body and developing Acupoint, he introduced the spirit into the body while controlling Spirit Power to warm and raise the Gushing Spring Acupoint that had already taken shape.
In fact, he would naturally use Spirit Power to warm and nourish Acupoint every moment during the day, but the effect of doing so was much worse than that of direct guidance.
"I should be able to warm up Acupoint much faster than others. According to the current progress, Gushing Spring Acupoint can be completely condensed into shape in about five or six days..."
Just as he was thinking about Aperture Condensation, his ears suddenly caught a faint strange sound coming from deep in the alley.
He subconsciously mobilized Mental Power, further intensified his already keen senses, distinguished them carefully, and immediately judged that they were footsteps and that someone had entered the alley.
"Who would come to such a remote alley so late?"
Just when Chen Mochuan was confused, he heard three knocks on the door, and then about ten seconds later, there was a "squeaking" sound of the door opening.
"Are you here to get the potion again?" This was a man's voice with a slightly smoky voice, and his tone sounded a little impatient.
"Yes, Brother Zhang, I've finished eating the ones before, so I want to come back and get two more before the end of the year." The person who replied said in a flattering tone.
Originally, Chen Mochuan was only paying attention to the sounds in the alley out of Martial Warrior's vigilance, and had no intention of going into details. But when he heard the voice of the person who answered, his eyes froze... This voice was so familiar to him that he determined the identity of the other person almost instantly.
"This is...Lu Ren?"
