Chapter 275 Son Wants to Book a Hotel Room?
After Li Ze returned to his room.
He closed the door behind him.
He walked to the very large, very comfortable bed and lay down on it.
He felt to himself that today's day was more tiring than the business deals he had negotiated in America that were worth hundreds of millions.
One reason was that he was in Las Vegas with Ruoran and his brother-in-law when they went to see the dome, and he was in a state of high spirits the whole time.
On the other hand, it was also due to the time difference. Although I slept for a while on the private jet when I returned, I still felt quite tired.
Li Ze lay on the bed with his hands behind his head.
He stared at the ceiling.
He was silently thinking about going back to Lijia Village to play the dragon lantern tomorrow.
Li Ze was actually really looking forward to the dragon lantern activity.
He was an orphan who grew up relying on the kindness of many families; Lijia Village was his root.
He spent the most difficult yet most innocent period of his life in this village from childhood to adulthood.
He remembered the villagers there and every single dirt road there clearly.
Although he is now the world's richest man, he has more money than he can spend.
But he never forgot his hometown.
He went back this time to experience that long-lost liveliness and to see those familiar old faces.
Just as Li Ze was lying in bed thinking about these things.
He suddenly thought of his son, Li Menghan.
To be honest, Li Ze was very satisfied with Li Menghan's performance over the past two days.
It started this afternoon when he returned to his home in Beichen Garden.
He then realized that Li Menghan was really different from before.
In the past, when he came back, Li Menghan would either give him a cold look and refuse to say a word to him.
Or he'd be glued to his old phone, sitting on the sofa playing with it nonstop, without even looking up.
But what about this afternoon?
When he came back, the kid was sitting obediently on the sofa, reading a book in his hand.
And when he asked them if they wanted to go back to their hometown together to play the dragon lantern dance.
The kid surprisingly refused very decisively, saying that he still needed to stay at school to study hard and couldn't let going out to play interrupt his studies.
The way he said that made it sound like he was a completely different person.
Li Ze smiled inwardly with great satisfaction.
He felt that this kid must have finally figured things out after experiencing those previous incidents, especially after seeing the strength and money he had displayed.
He must have been completely convinced by his father, so he decided to curb his temper and start working hard to improve himself.
After all, if a super-rich second-generation heir doesn't even have this much awareness, how will he take over the huge business empire he has in his hands in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Ze felt very happy.
He turned over, ready to get a good night's sleep, as he had to drive back to his hometown early the next morning.
Time passed slowly.
Around 10 p.m.
Li Ze felt a little thirsty.
He got out of bed, put on his slippers, opened the door, and went out.
He was about to go to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water.
This apartment in Beichen Garden is very large, and the corridor is also very long.
Li Ze, wearing slippers, walked down the corridor with very light footsteps, making almost no sound.
When he was halfway down the corridor.
He happened to be passing by his son Li Menghan's room.
Li Menghan's room door was not completely closed, leaving a very narrow crack.
The lights were on in the room.
Li Ze had no intention of stopping.
But just as he was about to walk over...
He suddenly heard a very soft voice coming from inside the room.
Li Ze stopped in his tracks abruptly.
He stood there, turned his head, and looked at the crack in the door with some curiosity.
He thought to himself:
"This kid, still not asleep this late? Who's he talking to?"
"Were they discussing academic problems with a classmate?"
Out of a father's curiosity.
Li Ze did not walk away immediately.
He leaned forward slightly, stood outside the door, and listened quietly for a moment.
The noise inside the room wasn't loud.
However, because the corridor was very quiet, Li Ze was still able to hear clearly what Li Menghan was saying.
Li Menghan's voice sounded very gentle, even a little low.
He was on the phone, what's commonly known as having a long phone conversation.
"Yeah, I also thought the food at that restaurant this afternoon was pretty good. But it's a bit far, so next time we'll try a place closer to home."
"Yes, that dress looked really good on you, and you had a very elegant air about you."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy. I want to talk to you a little longer."
Li Ze stood outside the door, listening to what his son was saying.
He raised an eyebrow slightly.
He immediately understood.
This kid wasn't discussing any study issues with his classmates at all.
He's clearly chatting with a girl!
And judging from their tone and attitude, they're clearly dating!
Li Ze smiled inwardly.
He thought this was normal.
The boy is eighteen years old and has just started university.
Now I have so much money in my hands, and I drive a Ferrari.
It would be strange if no girls liked him.
Moreover, Li Ze had heard Lao Yi report this before.
This kid has been getting very close to a girl named Huo Qian at school lately.
There was also that school beauty named Fan Xi; the two of them were often together.
Li Ze felt that it didn't matter whether his son was with Huo Qian or Fan Xi.
As long as it's not Dai Yuqian who betrayed him for money, he, as her father, won't interfere.
Young people should date more and experience more things; it's a good thing.
As long as he doesn't fall completely behind in his studies, it's fine.
Thinking of this, Li Ze shook his head and prepared to turn around and go to the kitchen to pour water.
He felt that his son was just having long phone conversations with a girl, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But just as he was about to take a step...
Li Menghan, who was inside the room, suddenly said something that made Li Ze stop in his tracks instantly.
Li Menghan's voice sounded somewhat excited and anxious.
He said into the phone:
"Alright, it's settled then."
"Tomorrow afternoon, after your get out of class, I'll wait for you at the south gate of the school."
"I just checked online. There's a five-star hotel not far from the South Gate, and the environment is very nice."
"I'll book the room tomorrow morning. We'll check into that hotel tomorrow."
Upon hearing this...
Li Ze stood in the corridor, completely stunned.
His eyes widened suddenly.
He could hardly believe his ears.
"Book a hotel room?!"
Li Ze exclaimed inwardly.
He stood outside the door, his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
He had just been praising his son in his heart, thinking that he had become more obedient and knew how to study hard.
The results of it?
This guy is staying up all night, chatting on the phone with a girl.
He actually made an appointment with the girl on the phone to go to a hotel the next day!
This is too fast!
Li Ze was quickly calculating in his mind.
This guy only broke up with Dai Yuqian a few days ago?
This led him to go to a hotel with another girl?
This speed is even faster than when he was the father!
However, as shocking as it may be.
As a forty-year-old middle-aged man, Li Ze quickly calmed down.
He thought about it carefully in his mind.
Actually, for today's young people...
Going to a hotel room when you're dating doesn't seem like anything particularly unusual.
Times have changed, and young people are more open-minded.
Moreover, his son is now eighteen years old and an adult.
In this situation, it wouldn't be appropriate for him, as the father, to simply rush in and loudly reprimand his son.
It might even trigger a rebellious attitude in the son, making the already strained relationship between father and son even worse.
But if we don't do anything about it...
Li Ze felt very uneasy.
He didn't care about the cost of the hotel room.
His concern was whether his foolish son had been deceived by some scheming woman again.
After all, his son had a history of this kind of behavior.
Wasn't Dai Yuqian the one who came back to him only for his money?
If the woman he goes to the hotel with this time is the kind who's after money again.
That means this guy will not only be deceived emotionally, but also physically.
As a father, he absolutely cannot sit idly by and do nothing about something like this.
Thinking about this...
Li Ze took a deep breath.
He didn't push the door open and go in.
He turned around, tiptoed, and went back to his room.
After returning to the room.
Li Ze didn't even have time to drink water.
He simply took his phone out of his pocket.
He dialed Lao Yi's number.
The phone rang once and was answered.
The first man's voice was very calm:
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
Li Ze held his phone, his expression very serious.
He lowered his voice and said into the phone:
"Oldest brother, go and arrange something right now."
"Tomorrow, you will send two of your most skilled and quickest cyborgs to keep a close eye on Meng Han all day."
Upon hearing the order, Lao Yi answered without hesitation:
"Understood. Boss, has the young master encountered any danger?"
Li Ze sighed and said with some helplessness:
"There's no danger."
"But this kid is going to a five-star hotel next to the south gate of the school tomorrow afternoon to book a room with a girl."
The old man on the other end of the phone heard this.
He also paused for a noticeable two seconds.
Clearly, this news also came as a surprise to him.
Li Ze continued:
"I don't know who that girl is."
"So, you need to tell people to make sure they see clearly tomorrow. Regardless of whether that girl is Huo Qian, Fan Xi, or someone else."
"You must investigate that girl's background thoroughly. You must find out everything about her ancestors, even those eighteen generations back."
"I need to determine if this girl is sincere, or if she's only approaching my son for money."
Li Ze's tone became very stern:
"If that girl is a good girl, then I won't interfere and will let her be."
"But what if I find out that the girl is a person with ulterior motives?"
"You all need to act immediately and stop that woman before they enter the room. We absolutely cannot allow my son to suffer any harm."
The older brother understood everything perfectly on the other end of the phone.
He answered loudly:
"Yes, boss! Don't worry, I'll get to it right away. I absolutely won't let the young master be deceived in any way."
Li Ze nodded.
"Okay. I trust you with this matter."
"I have to go back to Lijia Village early tomorrow morning to take care of some important business."
"Please take better care of things at home."
After saying that, Li Ze hung up the phone.
He put his phone on the bedside table.
Then he went to the bedside and lay down again.
He closed his eyes and thought about returning to Lijia Village tomorrow.
Although his son's hotel room incident had stirred up some emotions within him.
But since he had already arranged for Lao Yi to handle it, he had nothing to worry about.
With the old man around, nothing too serious will happen.
The main thing now is to go back to the village tomorrow, have some fun, and see all the fellow villagers.
Li Ze turned over and pulled the blanket over himself.
He closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
