Amidst the swift journey and Nan Yan’s exceptional driving skills, they arrived at a serene town, akin to a painting.
After getting out of the car, Fu Yubai gazed into the distance at the tranquil town and couldn’t help but sigh, “Who would have thought that the legendary Sheng family would hide away here.”
“If it weren’t for the address provided by the Sheng family, we might have come here as tourists and never known that this is the Sheng family’s territory.”
Indeed, this place seemed more like a tourist destination. Not only was the scenery beautiful and the environment pleasant, but even the people coming and going appeared incredibly relaxed, living at a leisurely pace without the tension and pressure of a metropolis.
“Is this entire town owned by the Sheng family?” Gu Chen asked, feeling a bit confused.
“Most likely. With the wealth and power of the Sheng family, buying a small town is just an ordinary and commonplace transaction,” Fu Yubai explained.
Gu Chen, simple-minded as he was, took a while to respond, “Truly extravagant…”
Nan Yan parked the car not far from the town and, with a tacit understanding, she and Qin Lu took out their phones to look up the place.
Upon searching, they discovered that this town was not on any maps and had no surveillance cameras whatsoever.
Fortunately, there was still internet access. Otherwise, Nan Yan would have suspected that this town was completely cut off from the outside world.
Suddenly, Gu Chen pointed at a man approaching them and asked, “Is that person here to pick us up?”
Nan Yan put away her phone and glanced over, “Most likely.”
As the man approached within four or five meters of their car, the four of them got out one by one.
“Excuse me, are you Miss Nan?” the man walked up directly to Nan Yan and asked.
“Yes, I am,” Nan Yan replied calmly. “Are you the one sent by Mr. Sheng Jing to pick us up?”
“Correct. Please follow me, distinguished guests. Young Master San is waiting for you at the ‘Azure Water Garden,’” the man said, leading the way.
As they walked, Nan Yan and the others got a clearer picture of the town. From the outside, one might mistake it for a secluded paradise. However, upon entering the town, they realized that it was as technologically advanced as a top-tier city in the country.
In fact, it seemed even more futuristic, with ubiquitous smart technology. Despite the leisurely atmosphere reminiscent of rural life, people controlled various smart devices and robots to carry out tasks.
This contradictory scene left them with an inexplicable sense of conflict.
