The identity of Xiaoyaozi is very special. Although he is a Taoist priest, he is actually a subordinate of Ye Heping and a senior consultant of Institute 735. Perhaps, being a Taoist priest is just his cover identity.
Xiaoyaozi said that he would take Wang Qiang away and go to a pure place arranged by Ye Heping for cultivation. Only cultivation can restore his mind. In order to dispel my doubts, he also gave me his address and contact information, saying that he had If necessary, you can visit her at any time.
If Ye Heping really wanted to kidnap someone, there would be no need to act like this. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to temporarily separate from Wang Qiang.
Xiaoyaozi told me before leaving that someone would be arranged to help guard the garden this morning.
I stood at the gate of the garden early in the morning and kept looking around. Last night I even slept in the guard box at the gate.
"The life of the rich is really troublesome..." I kept mumbling as I looked at the huge courtyard. Xiaoyaozi told me that the calligraphy and paintings here were all genuine. Although I am not a miser, I was still afraid of accidentally losing something. Zhang, it would be troublesome if he was blackmailed by Ye Heping, so he slept in the guard booth for a night.
Soon a sloppy Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes came over, and I was stunned.
"Why do Taoist priests these days like to dress so sloppily? Could it be that Taoism and the Beggar Clan have become one?"
But soon my eyes narrowed, and I stared at this veteran in shock and said, "Master!"
I saw that the old Tao's walking pace was extremely even, and every step seemed to have been accurately calculated. My eyesight was very good, and I could already see that every step the old Tao took was accurate!
Moreover, the old Taoist may seem drunk, but his walking trajectory remains unchanged, just like the dividing line in the center of the road, which has always maintained a fixed trajectory.
"Are you the person Ye Heping is looking for?" Lao Dao walked up to me, opened his sleepy eyes, and spoke in a long voice, with the smell of alcohol in his mouth.
"Junior Lin Kun, I didn't know that senior was..." I put away my past arrogance and treated this person with caution.
The old Taoist looked at me from head to toe and kept nodding.
"Ye Heping has a good eye for people, it's not bad... I'm looking forward to seeing you in the future..." After finishing speaking, the old Taoist walked into the courtyard.
"Yes, it's a good place. You have nothing to do here. You can leave!" Lao Dao found a house in the outer courtyard to live in, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
"Just remember to bring three meals a day!" After saying this, the room was filled with loud snoring.
I quietly exited the house, closed the door gently, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
The old man on the bed fell into a deep sleep, as if he had never woken up.
I walked to the inner courtyard and found pen and ink in the Chinese-style villa. I took out a piece of rice paper and started writing. My calligraphy was made of iron, painted with silver hooks, and the pen moved very naturally. Soon a notice for renting was completed. , I took the glue and walked outside.
When I reached the intersection, I was stunned. Suddenly, a new sign was erected on the roadside. The dirt under the sign was still freshly turned over. It seemed that it had been made overnight.
There were three signs in total on the pole. The top one was marked with the address, and the two lower ones were empty. I was stunned and posted my rental information on it. The size was just right.
"If I go, it won't be such a coincidence, right?" I didn't walk back to the manor, but walked along the road towards the city.
I was going to school to apply for leave. When Su Qing heard that I wanted to ask for leave, she didn’t agree with anything. Of course I knew what she was thinking. If I, the monitor, asked for leave, then this outstanding group would be in trouble. So, I I simply encouraged her to cover for me. As long as my attendance was not discovered, I would be responsible for the outstanding class.
After Su Qing heard what I said, she reluctantly agreed, but she still added a condition, asking me to treat her to a meal after I accomplished the task, and it was just the two of us.
I was thinking about just having a meal.
, and agreed. Su Qing happily agreed.
After coming out of school, I bought two lunches at a roadside restaurant and returned to the yard along the same path.
From a distance, I saw the old Taoist setting up a deck chair and sitting by the pavilion, sleeping. When he saw me coming back, the old Taoist got up and pointed at me and yelled at me.
"I asked you, why are you so abusing the elderly? I'll just take a fucking nap, and there have been more than a dozen house-viewers in the morning..." The old man puffed his beard and stared at me with a puzzled look on his face.
"Stay here for me this afternoon, I'm going to take a nap!" After saying this, the old man took the food from my hand and walked towards the house.
Suddenly the old man stopped and threw out a few pieces of paper.
"I've told men and unattractive women that I have no room for rent. These two are just passable and look rich. You can call them and try..." After the old man finished speaking, he walked towards the inner courtyard.
.
I stared at the business card in my hand dumbfounded and murmured: "Here I go, this old man is a top-notch guy, um... but I like it..."
I stared at the business card in my hand with excitement on my face, not caring at all about the lunch that was snatched away by the old man.
I hurriedly took out my phone and started dialing the numbers on the business card one by one, "Hi, hello, do you want to rent a house?"
I called in as polite a tone as I could, and the two women's voices were very pleasant, and they said they would come over to view the house immediately.
Suddenly I was stunned, turned around, and found a quiet girl standing in front of the yard, looking at me with her mouth wide open.
Seeing that I found him, the woman hurriedly dropped the bag in her hand, "I...I'm not here to rent a house..."
After saying that, he ran out as if he were running for his life.
"Hey...what a pity for such a little beauty..." I shook my head repeatedly.
I ordered another takeaway. Takeaways in scenic spots are extremely expensive, but thinking that I might become a rich man in the afternoon, I decided to order a big meal for 200 yuan.
When the fast food was delivered, the old Taoist priest appeared like a ghost.
"Okay! Brat, I'm helping you look after the door. You don't pay me and you abuse me. Give me a box lunch and you can have a big meal yourself!"
After saying that, he grabbed the bag in my hand and started eating by himself.
"Hey stinky old man, you eat mine, leave some for me..."
I rushed towards the old man, and there was a big show of grabbing food at the entrance of the yard.
"Pfft..." A woman's laughter sounded, causing the two of them to stop.
The old Taoist priest glanced at the woman.
"No, this one came to see the house this morning. This is the landlord. You two can go in and chat. Don't disturb the old man while he's eating..." The old man pointed at the woman, then at me, and said to the two of them.
I looked back at the woman, stunned.
"I didn't expect this old man to have such a vicious vision. Such a top-notch beauty could actually be said to be just passable..." I sighed as I looked at the pretty and graceful red figure standing at the door.
The woman was wearing a red dress with a very short hem, like a business attire, and she was looking at the old and the young with a smile on her face.
"Hello, my name is Lin Kun, and I am the landlord here!" I stepped forward and stretched out my hand.
"Ling Ling." The woman extended her hand generously, still looking at me with a smile on her face.
"I would like to ask if this is your company's real estate or..." The woman still didn't believe that I could own real estate in such a scenic spot where land is so valuable.
The woman's voice was concise and beautiful.
"Oh, this is my property ownership certificate and ID card..."
I handed the property ownership certificate to the woman without explaining it. I didn't think the woman's question was too abrupt, because this was the West Lake in Hangzhou.
After reading the certificate, the woman looked at me in shock. She didn't expect this at all.
The entire garden is the private property of this person, and the huge parking lot next to the garden and the large surrounding mountainous area are all allocated to the owner of the garden.
The entire garden covers an area of ​​more than 600 acres, 200 acres is the yard, and the surrounding 400 acres of forest also belong to this yard.
What's even more mysterious is that I never knew there was such a big manor here before.
"Are you sure you want to rent the house?" Ling Ling looked at me with a puzzled face. To be able to own a private estate here, this person is either rich or noble, and more importantly, even if he is very rich, he may not be able to own it.
Such a large estate.
"Of course I'm not kidding, there are only two of us here now!" I said seriously.
Ling Ling was even more shocked
"Can I go in and have a look?" Ling Ling said softly.
"As you wish..." I got out of the way and Ling Ling walked towards the courtyard.
The further we walked in, the more frightened we became. This courtyard was unimaginable from the main road. The buildings inside were even more ingenious, and the garden layout was very quiet and cozy.
What shocked Ling Ling even more was that all the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the house were authentic.
When Ling Ling walked through the corridor on the lake to the inner courtyard, she was even more shocked. There were actually several European-style villas scattered in the garden. The villas covered a large area, and each villa had its own yard and small swimming pool.
There are also rows of bungalows, which seem to be inhabited.
She couldn't imagine how much it would cost to own such an exquisite manor here. All of this couldn't be measured with money!
What she doesn’t know is that I, the landlord who she considers to be “either rich or expensive”, can’t even afford to eat at the moment.
When Lao Dao and I finished grabbing our meal, Ling Ling also came out.
"Are you sure you want to rent it?"
Ling Ling couldn't believe that if I wanted to rent a house, I would be short of money.
"Beauty, I'm so poor that I can't afford to eat. Do you think I should rent it out? I have no other way to generate income except this garden." I rolled my eyes.
Ling Ling gave me a strange look. Of course she wouldn't believe my lies even to death. The owner of such a large manor is called poor, so who do I think I am?
"Tell me, how much does it cost per month?" Ling Ling rolled her eyes and asked.
"Uh..." I suddenly remembered that I still don't know the price of houses in this scenic spot. What should I do?
"That... beauty... I really don't know the price. How many rooms do you plan to rent?" I asked tentatively.
"Humph, I knew you rich young masters were just joking!" Ling Ling turned around and left angrily.
"Ahem...beauty, don't leave. I just came to Hangzhou yesterday and I really don't know about it!"
Seeing that my anxious look didn't look like I was faking it, Ling Ling stopped.
"I'll rent a room for three months!" Ling Ling rolled her eyes at me.
"So... do you have a house you like? What's the price you're willing to accept?" I asked tentatively.
"I don't think you can rent a house in the inner courtyard. I want a house in the middle courtyard, preferably a single room upstairs. As for the price... what do you think of five thousand a month?"
Ling Ling blinked and looked at me. My eyes were not very big, but they were very clean and bright.
"OK! Deal!" I clapped my hands and said.
The price Ling Ling gave exceeded my expectations, but what I didn't know was that the price Ling Ling gave could not even rent a five-square-meter house in a scenic area, especially in a manor like this!
"Really?" Ling Ling's eyes widened.
"Of course it's true, but you have to tell me how much I can rent here for, and I'll rent it to you for five thousand, just to make a friend!"
Chapter completed!
