Chapter 269 The 15 Billion Manor
The eldest brother walked at the very front.
He led Li Menghan, Huo Qian, Fan Xi, Li Mengli, and Zhao Jiajia out of the dilapidated warehouse.
There were three very large black SUVs parked outside.
These cars look very sturdy, and the windows are tinted so that you can't see inside at all from the outside.
The old man opened the door of the middle car and let Li Menghan and the other four people get in.
Then, the older brother got into the front passenger seat.
The other men in black quickly got into the two cars in front and behind.
The car started.
The three vehicles lined up and sped away from the desolate, abandoned base.
The carriage was very quiet.
The seats in the car are spacious and soft.
Huo Qian and Fan Xi sat in the back row, their emotions gradually calming down.
What happened in the warehouse was truly terrifying. But now, sitting in the car and seeing Lao Yi sitting in the front, they felt much safer.
Li Menghan sat next to Huo Qian. He didn't speak, but just looked out the car window.
The car drove for about an hour and a half.
They left the suburbs and entered the city center of the capital.
Finally, the car drove into a very quiet place.
There are no skyscrapers here, but tall trees line both sides of the road.
The car stopped in front of a very large iron gate.
The iron gate opened automatically, and the car drove in.
After the car came to a complete stop, the old man opened the car door and got out.
He opened the car door for Li Menghan and the others.
"Young master, young lady, we've arrived. Everyone, please get out of the car," the old man said.
Li Menghan was the first to get off the car.
He stood still, looked up, and glanced at the scene.
His eyes widened immediately.
Li Mengli, Huo Qian, Fan Xi, and Zhao Jiajia, who got off the car behind him, were all stunned by the scene before them.
This is a very, very large estate.
The manor's courtyard is very spacious, with a neatly tidy green lawn.
There is a large fountain in the middle of the courtyard, with water spraying very high, which looks very beautiful under the lights.
Directly in front of us is a very tall villa.
The villa has white exterior walls and is brightly lit inside.
The entire estate looks very luxurious and high-class.
This is not a hotel at all.
Li Mengli turned her head and looked at Lao Yi.
She opened her mouth wide and asked loudly:
"Hey, where is this place? Aren't we supposed to be going back to the hotel to rest?"
The eldest brother stood to one side, with his hands in front of him.
He answered very respectfully:
"Miss, this is a private estate that the boss bought in Beijing. It cost him 1.5 billion yuan to buy it."
"The boss said that there are too many people in the hotel and it's not safe enough. This is our own place, and there are many people guarding it outside, so it's the safest. That's why the boss asked me to bring you here to rest."
Upon hearing the words "1.5 billion".
Zhao Jiajia, Huo Qian, and Fan Xi all gasped at the same time.
Although their families are very wealthy, it is still quite surprising that they would spend 1.5 billion yuan to buy a manor in Beijing.
Li Menghan stood there and shook his head.
Looking at the luxurious villa, he exclaimed with great admiration:
"How many things about my dad are still unknown to us?"
"He bought such a big house in Seoul, and now he still has such a nice place in the capital."
Li Mengli nodded vigorously in agreement.
She said loudly:
"Yes! He's been hiding so much from us! When we finally see him, we'll definitely have to ask him all about it!"
However, seeing such a safe and wonderful place, everyone was very happy.
Especially Huo Qian and Fan Xi.
They were terrified inside the abandoned base.
Now that they've arrived here and see how quiet it is around them, with so many men in black standing guard outside, all their fear has finally vanished.
They felt very safe here.
The old man said to everyone:
"Young master, young lady, please come inside."
Everyone followed Lao Yi through the gate of the villa.
The interior of the villa is even more luxurious.
The floor was covered with a very thick carpet, so there was no sound when you stepped on it.
A large crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, illuminating the hall very brightly.
There were many service staff dressed in clean clothes inside.
When they saw Li Menghan and the others come in, they all bowed and greeted them.
The old man looked at everyone's dirty clothes and said:
"Young master, young lady, I've already had the rooms prepared. Everyone can go back to their rooms, take a hot shower, and change into clean clothes."
"We'll have dinner at the restaurant half an hour later."
Everyone thought the arrangement was excellent.
Huo Qian and Fan Xi's skirts were covered in dirt, and all they wanted to do right now was take a shower.
So, led by the staff, the five people went to their respective rooms.
Half an hour later.
Everyone had finished showering and changed into the clean clothes provided at the manor.
These clothes are all brand new, fit perfectly, and are made of very good material.
Everyone felt much more relaxed.
They went together to the restaurant on the first floor of the villa.
This restaurant is very large.
In the middle was a very long rectangular wooden table.
A white tablecloth was laid on the table.
By this time, the table was already filled with all sorts of delicious food.
There were cooked lobsters, roasted beef, and lots of colorful vegetables and exquisite desserts.
It smells wonderful.
Everyone sat down on either side of the table.
After what happened in the afternoon, everyone had already digested their lunch.
Seeing so many delicious dishes now, everyone feels very hungry.
Li Menghan sat at one end of the table.
He looked at everyone with a very relaxed smile on his face.
He said loudly:
"Everyone has worked hard today. Now that we're safe, everyone should eat more and replenish their energy."
Huo Qian sat opposite Li Menghan.
Her complexion had returned to normal and was no longer pale.
She looked at Li Menghan and said very seriously:
"Menghan, we really owe a debt of gratitude to the people your father sent today. Without them, we really don't know what would have become of us. Those people are terrifying."
Fan Xi sat next to her, and she nodded vigorously in agreement.
Her voice was still a little soft as she said:
"Yes, I was so scared I didn't dare open my eyes. I only felt saved when those men in black rushed in."
Zhao Jiajia said with a smile while eating a piece of beef:
"Menghan, your father is truly amazing. With a father like that, you won't have to be afraid no matter where you go in the future."
Li Menghan smiled after hearing what everyone said.
He put down his chopsticks.
He looked at everyone at the table, his expression becoming a little serious.
He began to speak:
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something very important to tell you."
When everyone heard Li Menghan say this, they all stopped eating and turned to look at him.
Li Mengli asked with some curiosity:
"What's wrong? Why are you so serious?"
Li Menghan looked at everyone and said in a very relaxed and happy tone:
"Old Yi just came over and told me some news. Bai Qianyue, who was behind all these things, has been caught by my dad's men."
Upon hearing this...
The entire restaurant fell silent for a second.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mengli jumped up from her chair with great joy.
She shouted loudly:
"Really? That's great! That wicked woman has finally been caught!"
"I knew my dad could do it!"
Huo Qian and Fan Xi breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
Their last bit of worry was completely relieved.
Huo Qian looked at Li Menghan and asked:
"She's really been caught? Then she won't be able to cause us any more trouble, right?"
Li Menghan nodded very firmly.
He answered loudly:
"Yes, we caught him. You can rest assured. My dad never leaves anything behind when he does things."
"Now that he has caught her, he will absolutely not let her have another chance to harm people."
"The old man said that no one can threaten our safety now. This matter is completely over."
Hearing Li Menghan's affirmative answer.
Everyone laughed happily.
Zhao Jiajia picked up her juice glass and said loudly:
"Fantastic! This is amazing news! Come on, let's drink to our safety and to celebrate the bad guys being caught!"
Li Menghan, Li Mengli, Huo Qian, and Fan Xi also raised their cups.
The five people's cups clinked together in the middle of the table.
It makes a crisp sound.
Everyone took a big gulp of juice together.
The atmosphere inside the restaurant became very, very good.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious food on the table while chatting and laughing.
The fear and tension I felt in the abandoned base are completely gone now.
They chatted about their plans after returning to Wuhan tomorrow, and about the university life that was about to begin.
Li Menghan sat in the chair.
He looked at his happy friends and sister around him.
He felt extremely at ease.
He knew that, although he used to hate his father.
But after what happened today, he finally understood.
His father, Li Ze, is a very capable and responsible man.
As long as their father supports and protects them.
They really have nothing to be afraid of.
It feels really good to have someone protecting you.
Li Menghan picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of lobster, and put it in her mouth.
He thought tonight's dinner was really, really delicious.
