"Yes, that's right." Liu Dagu hurriedly nodded and said: "This spring is indeed a treasure of Zhenjiang. If Mr. Fujii invests, we can develop the Hage Spring into a large hot spring resort, which I think would be quite good."

"Yes." Fujii Katsuyoshi nodded and said: "My grandfather's leg ailment was cured by this spring. He has always been concerned about it and wanted to return to Zhenjiang to see it again, but unfortunately, he never had the chance."

"Is that so?" Liu Dagu was startled and said: "Then... how is your grandfather now? With convenient transportation now, he could have come by plane."

"My grandfather passed away several years ago." Fujii Katsuyoshi smiled and said: "Before he died, he asked me to return to Zhenjiang. So, this trip is to fulfill his last wish, to some extent. I hope Miss Tang can accommodate this."

"If you are simply investing, we naturally welcome it." Tang Yumeng responded with a smile: "Of course, if you have any personal ulterior motives, we will need to carefully consider."

"Of course not." Fujii Katsuyoshi smiled and said: "Actually, my grandfather had a good impression of China. Although he made many mistakes when he entered Nanjing back then, he found Chinese women more interesting than Japanese women."

As he spoke, a wicked smile appeared on Fujii Katsuyoshi's face.

Although Tang Yumeng understood, she did not outright say it. She frowned throughout.

The lunch took more than an hour to finish.

After lunch, seeing that Tang Yumeng looked upset, Liu Dagu worried that she might inadvertently offend Fujii Katsuyoshi and others, so he quickly said: "Mr. Fujii, you've been tired from your journey. Why not rest for now, and we can talk about the tour tomorrow?"

"No." Fujii Katsuyoshi shook his head and said: "Since we agreed on this afternoon, let's stick to the plan. Moreover, there are things to do tomorrow. We Japanese always handle things swiftly. I hope you respect that."

"This... yes, yes, yes!" Liu Dagu hurriedly nodded.

The afternoon tour was quite strenuous; Tang Yumeng was still wearing high heels. Wujiang City is not large, and its economy is not very robust. The city area is messy, poorly planned, and the roads are full of potholes. Along the way, Liu Dagu felt somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, the car quickly left the city area and headed straight for Dragon Spring, the most famous site in Wujiang.

Dragon Spring is located on Dragon Spring Mountain. This time, the Zhu Corporation targeted this Dragon Spring Mountain because of its excellent ecological environment. The area is shaded with green trees and has no traces of artificial development. It is a completely natural ecological environment. After the cars arrived at the foot of the mountain, Tang Yumeng was troubled as she wore high heels, which were obviously inconvenient for mountain climbing.

Miss Qingzi had already changed into hiking shoes, though the hiking shoes and professional outfit seemed somewhat incongruous, they were indeed convenient for mountain climbing.

"Sister, let me help you!" Lin Chuan hurried over.

Xiao Xue also looked troubled; she didn't want to go up, as climbing was quite a tough task. But, this was official business, and accompanying the Zhu Corporation made it even more awkward for Xiao Xue. Lin Chuan held onto both Tang Yumeng and Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue felt awkward, but without Lin Chuan's support, it would have been difficult.

The path on Dragon Spring Mountain was indeed steep; usually, only adventurers from other places traveled this path, and since it was less frequented, the path was overgrown, always blocking the way. Luo Guoqing and a few other drivers cleared the path at the front, hacking away with their machetes and forcibly creating a rugged trail.

Liu Dagu was stunned; making this plump man climb a mountain with an altitude of over 900 meters was indeed a difficult task.

At first, the path was easier to walk on, but as they neared the top, the path became increasingly difficult. The ground was covered with various vegetation, bushes, and even thorn bushes. Miss Qingzi's stockings had been ripped in several places, and her white legs were scratched by thorns, yet she remained silent, always following behind Fujii Katsuyoshi.

Tang Yumeng's stockings were also torn in several places, looking rather enticing. Each time Xiao Xue was pricked by thorns, she screamed, which made her feel quite frustrated.

Fortunately, this part of the road was quickly over, and the path ahead was much easier to walk.

What was supposed to be an hour's journey took an hour and forty minutes.

Finally, the group arrived at Dragon Spring Pond on Dragon Spring Mountain.

Dragon Spring does not just have one spring, but several springs, and this one was located at an altitude of over five hundred meters, which could indeed be considered a miracle.

Panting heavily, Liu Dagu reached Dragon Spring and said with half a breath left: "This... this Dragon Spring... according to our official statistics, has a total of... fifteen spring eyes, and thirteen formed hot spring pools... "

Fujii Katsuyoshi looked unchanged; he looked at the three spring eyes in front of him, indeed not bad. The three hot spring pools were connected to each other.

"Not bad." Fujii Katsuyoshi nodded and said: "These springs are indeed good, and they look very interesting."

As he spoke, Fujii Katsuyoshi took off his clothes.

The others were puzzled.

Splash...

Fujii Katsuyoshi immediately dove headfirst into the hot spring pool.

"What... What is he doing?" Xiao Xue exclaimed.

"Perhaps Mr. Fujii just wants to test the effects of the hot spring," Liu Dagu hurriedly explained.

"I don't think so." Lin Chuan said with a cold smile, "This must be his true purpose for coming here."

"What do you mean?" Tang Yumeng asked, puzzled.

"As the head of the Zhu Corporation, travelling all the way from Japan to our Jiangbei City and diving into this hot spring," Lin Chuan chuckled, "This spring hasn't been tested or certified; isn't he afraid of any problems? Diving in headfirst like this, clearly there is something in there that has been bothering him."

"Ah?" Tang Yumeng gasped.

At this point, Fujii Katsuyoshi had already been submerged under the water for several tens of seconds. In less than a minute, he surfaced, gasped for a few breaths, and dove back again. Repeating this several times, it became even more suspicious and questionable. Initially, Liu Dagu tried to defend him a few times, but Fujii Katsuyoshi's repeated actions made even Liu Dagu start to wonder.

Soon, Fujii Katsuyoshi emerged from the water with a heavy iron box in his hand.

"Qingzi, help me!" Fujii Katsuyoshi shouted.

Miss Qingzi immediately threw a rope towards him. Fujii Katsuyoshi quickly tied the heavy iron box with the rope, and with the help of several strong men, they finally pulled the iron box up.

Fujii Katsuyoshi also quickly climbed ashore.

Miss Qingzi hurriedly dried him with a towel, boldly wiping even the area around his crotch without any hesitation. Despite the chilly air at the end of February making everyone shiver, Lin Chuan's gaze was still fixed on the rusty iron box. There must be some secret hidden inside it, making Fujii Katsuyoshi and his companions come all the way here to retrieve it, even under the guise of investment.

"Mr. Fujii, what is this?" Tang Yumeng asked with a smile.

"Oh, these are relics left to me by my grandfather," Fujii Katsuyoshi replied with a smile.

"Are you sure?" Lin Chuan stepped forward and laughed, "This is our Chinese soil, you are taking things from us, and you say they are relics left by your grandfather? Isn't that excuse a bit too far-fetched? Mr. Fujii, shouldn't you give us a little explanation?"

"What is there to explain?" Fujii said with a smile after putting on his clothes, "This box contains a colonel's command saber, several medals of honor, and some personal belongings."

Clang...

After speaking, Fujii kicked off the rusty lock and opened the box. There was quite a bit of silt accumulated inside. Fujii Katsuyoshi took out a command saber, which had been severely corroded by the sulfur in the water, yet when he pulled the saber out, it was still very bright and emitted a chilling aura.

"A fine saber," Lin Chuan couldn't help but admire.

"Of course!" Fujii Katsuyoshi said with a cold smile, "It was made from pure refined steel by our most elite military factory back then. It doesn't fear corrosion."

"However, this saber was fished from our land," Lin Chuan said with a smile, "It surely shouldn't be up to you to take it away, right?"

Fujii Katsuyoshi glanced at Lin Chuan and said, "What do you suggest?"

"This is the evidence of your country invading ours and killing three hundred thousand of our compatriots," Lin Chuan said with a cold laugh, "This colonel's command saber is something that we definitely won't let you take away, as it is our evidence!"

"Hmph." Fujii Katsuyoshi gave a composed smile and said, "Secretary Liu, a hundred billion investment is not a joke. This saber..."

"Of course, it belongs to you, it belongs to you!" Liu Dagu quickly said, "It's just a saber; if Mr. Fujii likes it, I can buy a few more."

"No need for that, I just want this one," Fujii Katsuyoshi smiled.

Lin Chuan was somewhat annoyed; Liu Dagu was really too spineless, compromising unprincipledly in face of money, which was indeed infuriating. Tang Yumeng chuckled and said, "If Mr. Fujii is coming here just for this saber and investing a hundred billion in Wujiang, isn't that reason a bit far-fetched?"

"Miss Tang, let's discuss the investment in detail tomorrow," Fujii Katsuyoshi smiled and said, "I felt a bit chilly after getting into the water today, worried it might affect my health, so let's hurry down the mountain and go back to the hotel to rest."

"Okay!" Tang Yumeng was momentarily startled, then immediately nodded.
