A Mysterious Path Leading to the Top of the Mountain

The door was kicked open violently, and a cold shout rang out: "Boy, who are you calling trash?"

Xia Tian and Yang Shan couldn't help but look towards the door, only to see a middle-aged man with a fat face and a big belly slowly walking in with four bodyguards.

"Ah, cousin, you're here!" As soon as the fat woman saw who was coming, she rushed over and cried, "These two people bullied me, you must help me get revenge."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you teach them a lesson." The fat man had a cigar in his mouth. He glanced at Xia Tian, ​​then looked at Yang Shan, and his eyes lit up.

Yang Shan was a little angry and explained: "We didn't bully her. We were just asking her about the missing passengers as a routine matter, but she didn't cooperate at all."

"You are Miss Yang Shan, right?" The fat man bit his cigarette and said with a smile, "Our company tried to recruit you several times, but you rejected us every time. You really don't give us any face at all."

Yang Shan looked unhappy and said calmly, "Sir, first of all, I don't know which company you are from. Secondly, we are talking about the disappearance of a passenger caused by Miss Liu Yan."

"Haha, it's just like what Yan Zi said, you are really good at pretending." The fat man sneered, took out the cigar with his left hand, and blew out a smoke ring. "My name is Liao Dongxiong, the deputy general manager of Tianyapan Tourism Group. No one in Qingmu County dares to disrespect me. You are quite brave."

Yang Shan frowned slightly. She had heard of this person. He was a figure who had only appeared in Qingmu County in recent years. It was said that he was well-connected and powerful. If it weren't for the profound influence of the Divine Doctor Group here, the Qingfeng Mountain Tourism Company would have been swallowed up by this man long ago.

The fat woman also added fuel to the fire and said, "Uncle, they were just saying bad things about you. They didn't take you seriously at all."

"Haha, today's the perfect time." The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of obscenity, but he said nonchalantly: "I personally invite you. As long as you come to be my secretary, I guarantee you double the salary."

The fat woman was a little unhappy when she heard this, but she didn't dare to show it.

"Mr. Liao, I won't go to your company." Yang Shan still refused. It was because of Qingfeng Mountain before, but now it was because she was already Xia Tian's woman.

"I really can't understand what's so good about that little shabby company in Qingfeng Mountain." The fat man shook his head in disappointment and said puzzledly: "Even if it's backed by the Divine Doctor Group, you won't get any benefits. Why bother with money?"

Yang Shan smiled, shook her head and said, "Mr. Liao, I will not change jobs, so don't waste your time. Also, please say it again, the issue we are talking about now should be the missing passengers. We need Liu Yan to lead the way to find them."

"Don't try that on me." The fat woman was relieved when she saw Yang Shan reject her cousin. She then hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't listen to him. He just wants to push the blame on me and frame our company."

The muscular man hugged the fat woman and said to her in a casual tone, "Swallow, don't worry, you will be fine. With your cousin here, no one can do anything to you."

Yang Shan felt that the two were indeed very close and unreasonable. "Mr. Liao, Ms. Liu, I am not trying to find anyone responsible. I just want to find the two missing passengers."

"Then just go find him. Why are you always holding on to me?" said the fat woman dissatisfiedly.

Yang Shan patiently explained, "I've been to the top of the mountain and didn't find the two travelers. So they were probably lost on the way to the top. Only by letting Liu Yan walk along the original route again, will there be a greater chance of finding them."

Yang Shan had checked the top and the mountainside before. Although she did not find any trace of the missing passengers, she discovered a strange crack on the mountainside. Although she did not know what it was, she sensed an extremely strange and dangerous aura. She then remembered some folk tales about time travel that had been circulating in Qingfeng Mountain recently, and guessed that this might be something like a time and space vortex.

If the lost travelers were really caught in the time and space vortex, it would be beyond her ability, so she called Xia Tian. On the other hand, she also had to find out the route the two travelers took up the mountain so that she could search for traces of entry into the time and space vortex along the original route.

"Just leave this matter to the police." The muscular man sneered, "I'm quite familiar with Director Ma here. Do you need me to call you?"

Yang Shan frowned slightly, having lost the desire to communicate with the two men. She said to Xia Tian, ​​"Hubby, I don't want to waste time here. Please help me find the two missing passengers."

Xia Tian yawned lazily, "It should have been done a long time ago. Why are you talking nonsense to these idiots?"

"Who are you calling an idiot?" The muscular man was furious, and pointed at Xia Tian with his cigar between his fingers. "Don't be so arrogant, kid. This is my territory. Believe it or not, I can make you pay with just one word!"

"I don't believe it." Xia Tian curled his lips.

The muscular man once again looked at the young man who looked ordinary in appearance and clothes. He did not expect that this boy would dare to contradict him. He shouted angrily: "Who the hell do you think you are talking to?"

"You're talking to an idiot." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Damn it, you're just looking for death!" The muscular man couldn't bear it any longer, and turned to the four bodyguards following behind him and ordered: "Go, teach him a lesson!"

The four tall and strong bodyguards immediately obeyed the order, walked slowly to Xia Tian and surrounded him.

"Yes, I must teach him a lesson. And Yang Shan, she must not be let off either." The fat woman could not help but shout, and showed Yang Shan a swaggering expression: "Let them know how powerful I am!"

"I don't want to waste time with you, husband. Let's go and find those two travelers." Yang Shan was afraid that the two people's behavior would make Xia Tian angry, so she pulled Xia Tian and was about to walk out.

The fat woman blocked Yang Shan and Xia Tian's way: "It's not that easy to leave."

Yang Shan warned: "Liu Yan, Mr. Liao, you'd better not do this kind of thing, otherwise the consequences will be very serious and you can't afford it."

"Haha, what kind of consequences can I not bear?" The fat man slowly approached Xia Tian, ​​pointed at Xia Tian, ​​and said to Yang Shan: "Does your boyfriend have a powerful background?"

Xia Tian said lazily: "I don't have much background, but it's still easy to cripple an idiot like you."

"Interesting, really interesting." The muscular man couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then he shouted coldly: "Then you can kill me, even if you dare to raise your fist at me, you are still brave."

Xia Tian looked at the fat man expressionlessly, and did nothing, but said: "You are already a useless person."

“Hahahaha!” The muscular man couldn’t help but raise his head and laugh wildly. He thought it was very interesting that the boy didn’t dare to resist but acted tough. Then a trace of disdain welled up in his heart, and he gave the order to attack: “Beat him, beat him hard, I will be responsible if you kill or maim him.”

The four bodyguards had obviously done this kind of thing many times. After hearing the order, they all had playful expressions on their faces, as if they were playing a game.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

After four loud bangs, the four bodyguards flew backwards and lay on the ground like dead dogs, unable to move.

"You, you!" The fat man was stunned for a second or two before he came to his senses. He pointed at Xia Tian in astonishment and said, "Don't mess around. I'm the deputy general manager of Tianyapan Group. If you dare to touch me...ah!"

Before Xia Tian could make any move, the fat man suddenly went limp and fell straight to the ground, foaming at the mouth, unconscious.

“Uncle, what’s wrong with you!” When the fat woman saw the fat man fall down, she immediately rushed over and cried, but it was useless. She yelled at Xia Tian and Yang Shan, “Murder! You killed my cousin! Call the police!”

While shouting like that, the fat woman actually rushed over and tried to grab Yang Shan by the collar.

“Bang!”

Of course Xia Tian kicked her again without any hesitation.

"Hubby, don't kick her to death." Yang Shan knew how powerful Xia Tian was, so she quickly shouted, and added, "We still have to take her to the top of the mountain to find someone."

"Don't worry, even if he's dead, I can save him." Xia Tian said disapprovingly.

Yang Shan stepped forward to help the fat woman up and said solemnly: "Liu Yan, I don't have time to waste with you, and I don't bother to ask what you want to do. Anyway, you must come with me now, follow the route you took before, and rescue the missing passengers, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The fat woman was also scared. She stood up and rushed out: "I, I will lead the way."

Xia Tian hugged Yang Shan and followed the fat woman.

After leaving the B&B, the fat woman didn't dare to make any requests and just walked towards the top of the mountain tremblingly.

Xia Tian actually also wanted to know which mountain top these people reached, but it was definitely not the mountain top of Qingfeng Mountain.

The B&B was on the mountainside. After walking for a while, we gradually arrived at an area shrouded in thick fog. This was the area covered by the barrier.

Of course, the fat woman had no way of walking to the top of the mountain through the fog, but what was strange was that a very clear path actually emerged from the fog.

"Honey, this path is a bit strange." Yang Shan sensed the danger and her body trembled slightly.

Xia Tian hugged Yang Shan tightly and said with a smile: "It's a little bit of a problem, but it's not dangerous, you don't have to be nervous."

"It's right in front. We stayed there for a while, but it was too cold and something strange happened, so we returned to the mountainside B&B." The fat woman suddenly stopped and pointed to the top of the mountain not far away. She said with some fear, "After we went back, we found that two people were missing. I wanted to come and look for them, but this place is too weird and no one dares to come up."

"Bang!"

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and the fat woman immediately fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief on her face.
