Chapter 822: Chapter 822: The Extremely Wealthy Old Man Chapter 822: Chapter 822: The Extremely Wealthy Old Man Before getting on the car, Li Yu rolled down the window and threw out another line, “Why don’t you come with me?”
Ye Xingguang thought it over, “Can I?”
Li Yu, sitting in the car, gave her a white eye, “Aren’t you back to visit our relatives with me? What’s the issue?”
“You make it sound so reasonable!”
Ye Xingguang immediately got in the car and followed Li Yu!
Outside the Ye Family estate, many cars were parked, brought by Gui Baili and his bodyguards. This time, Gui Baili brought a whole hundred bodyguards over, along with Li Yu’s entourage. Seeing Ye Xingguang and Li Yu enter the Ye Family estate and then come out again, all the cars parked outside instantly followed suit, continuing their protective escort.
Ye Xingguang, sitting in the car, was particularly stirred up, “Big Brother Yu, where is that vampire king’s lair? Is it far? If it’s far, let’s find a restaurant in the city and have a proper meal before we leave?”
“Actually, it’s just in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital,” Li Yu said. “Half an hour’s drive on the highway.”
“What, so close?” Ye Xingguang couldn’t believe it.
Li Yu explained, “He has several lairs, in Country A, and other countries too, but for the past two years, he has been living in Feng Mountain in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital because he took a fancy to a village girl there. He wanted to retreat into the mountains with her to live a pastoral life, ‘picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountain’.”
Such poetic and picturesque sentiment!
Ye Xingguang conjured up that image in her mind, a decrepit old man carrying fruits and vegetables every day to pester a young, beautiful village girl—hmph, not romantic at all, it was clearly an old bull eating tender grass!
However, as the car left the city area, past the expressway, and entered the deep mountains, Ye Xingguang realized she had been mistaken!
For the sake of courting that village girl, the old coot had bought an entire mountain and even constructed a distinctive archway at the mountain’s foot, with two enormous stone lions in front, intimidating and commanding.
There was a security checkpoint at the archway, and when the staff saw Li Yu roll down the car window, they saluted and let them pass.
Then, the long convoy took the mountain road and, after driving for nearly half an hour up the winding road, they saw a resort-like terraced villa enveloped in mist and exuding an ethereal aura on the mountainside.
From afar, in front of the villas, there was a natural lake with clear water, an elegant environment, and beautiful scenery—not only would village girls not resist such temptation, but beautiful city girls would likely not withstand such a sugar-coated bombardment either.
Such a resort must have cost a fortune; wealthy old chaps indeed have their ways to charm young girls!
The resort also had a vast parking lot. Their convoy of nearly forty cars parked easily, not feeling the least bit cramped. Getting out of the cars, Ye Xingguang realized that the luxury vehicles originally parked there were dazzling enough!
This wasn’t just a wealthy old man; this was an extremely wealthy old man!
Ye Xingguang still remembered, ten years ago in the capital of the Empire, when all the heirs to the throne were embroiled in a fierce battle. As the cleanup queen herself, she hid away, waiting for the battle to end. That fight for the throne went on for three days and nights, and ultimately the Third Princess emerged victorious.
Then, with much effort, she blocked all the supporters behind the losers to lead them in a quest for revenge. When she personally killed the Third Princess and her supporter Geshu Chen, three claps echoed in her ears.
Those three claps came from this extremely wealthy old man!
