Chapter 514: Chapter 514: The Coming Storm
On the next day, four luxury cars cruised along the lush, winding mountain road of Jade Dew Mountain.
In the lead was Liu Wei’s Ferrari, followed closely by Su Xiaoyue’s BMW, Zheng Yutong’s Maserati, and finally, a Mercedes driven by Leng Ying.
Lin Fei sat in Su Xiaoyue’s BMW, while Qin Yunyue, Xie Wenbo, and Li Qing were in Liu Wei’s Ferrari. Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, Wang Yixin, Xiao Xiao, and Xie Yiting were seated in the Mercedes driven by Leng Ying.
Only Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ling shared the Maserati together.
As they drove along, everyone lowered the car windows, inhaling the exceptionally fresh air of Jade Dew Mountain, filled with the scent of nature, making them feel invigorated.
The mountain was lush with trees and vibrant with blooming flowers. The scenery was breathtaking, accompanied by the melodious sounds of flowing streams and bird songs from the valleys.
Everyone felt a sense of refreshment and happiness as the stunning views unfolded before their eyes.
The four luxury cars followed the winding mountain road and arrived at a mid-mountain hotel on the main peak of Jade Dew Mountain.
This hotel, built halfway up the mountain, caters specifically to tourists visiting Jade Dew Mountain for accommodation and is a star-rated hotel for vacations.
Even though the hotel is situated on the mountainside, the plaza in front of it was packed with cars, indicating the high number of tourists visiting Jade Dew Mountain.
The four luxury cars parked in the plaza in front of the hotel, and Lin Fei, Liu Wei, Su Xiaoyue, and others got out of the cars.
The hotel’s name was Baoli Group Jade Dew Hotel.
From the name, Lin Fei realized that the Jade Dew Hotel was built by the Baoli Group.
Only a company with a state-owned enterprise background like Baoli Group could construct a hotel in such a scenic area.
Lin Fei noticed that about four or five hundred meters away from the Jade Dew Hotel, there were dozens of standalone villas.
Each villa blended seamlessly with the Jade Dew Mountain scenery, perfectly combining luxury residences with nature.
A few of the villas were even built in particularly scenic spots, with the fragrance of flowers and bird songs, and mountain streams flowing gently into the villa gardens, resembling Peach Blossom Spring.
On the walls of each villa hung a screen with numbers 1234, indicating the building number of each villa.
Lin Fei thought, this is probably the new villa property Baoli Group is launching for sale tomorrow.
Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, and the others also saw these brand-new mid-mountain villas and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “I didn’t expect there to be such beautiful villas on Jade Dew Mountain.”
“If we had a villa here, we could come to Jade Dew Mountain for vacation every summer.”
“But, I wonder how much these mid-mountain villas cost here?”
At this moment, Zheng Yutong said, “This mid-mountain villa complex was developed by the large state-owned enterprise Baoli Group, because Jade Dew Mountain is a five-star scenic spot in Shencheng, and it’s almost impossible for private enterprises to get development rights here.
And even though Baoli obtained the development rights, they could only develop thirty villas. These villas were designed by top designers from home and abroad, making them rare and prized among Shencheng villas, priceless yet unavailable in the market!”
“Why are they priceless yet unavailable?” Yuan Yuxi asked in confusion.
Zheng Yutong explained, “Because only thirty of these villas were developed, the quantity is limited, and with such top-notch design, and being mid-mountain villas in Jade Dew Mountain, the rich merchants of Shencheng naturally compete to buy them.
But unfortunately, even if these wealthy merchants want to buy them, they can’t. The thirty mid-mountain villas, each exceeding a billion, have all been initially reserved by various big names. So they are priceless yet not available.”
Yuan Yuxi finally understood and then said to Zheng Yutong, “Your family is a wealthy household in Shencheng, surely you have reserved a villa?”
Zheng Yutong nodded, “We have reserved one, but it’s just a reservation, and whether we can actually purchase it is still uncertain.”
“You mean even with a reservation you might not be able to buy it?” Yuan Yuxi was surprised.
Zheng Yutong shrugged helplessly, “There’s no way around it. Although Baoli Group agrees that individual wealth exceeding five billion can reserve, the number of people who have reserved has reached forty to fifty, which exceeds the number of villas.
So tomorrow the ones who have reserved still have to bid against each other, and the one who wins out can actually purchase a villa.”
Lin Fei smiled faintly: It seems Baoli Group is using scarcity marketing.
The number of people reserving villas exceeds the number of villas available, so these reserving wealthy individuals, in order to obtain a villa, inevitably compete in bidding, making Baoli Group’s profits pour in like a river of gold and silver.
“Alas, it seems these priceless yet unavailable mid-mountain villas are beyond our reach, we poor folks can’t afford them.” Yuan Yuxi sighed.
Lin Fei secretly thought: Luckily, I got one from President Yang, otherwise, even if I wanted to buy one, it might not have been possible.
Everyone then walked into the Jade Dew Hotel.
Not long after Lin Fei and the others entered the hotel, in a parked Toyota in the plaza, there were four men wearing sunglasses.
One of the men took out a phone and dialed a number, “Boss, Lin Fei and Leng Ying have entered Jade Dew Hotel.”
“Hmm, Zhu Qi, keep tracking them,” came the cold voice of Zhu Qinglong over the phone.
“Yes, Boss.”
After hanging up, the four men in suits and sunglasses got out of the Toyota and headed towards the Jade Dew Hotel.
That day, Lin Fei’s group, staying at the Jade Dew Hotel, spent their time enjoying the sights of Jade Dew Mountain.
It wasn’t until sunset that everyone happily returned to the hotel.
They stayed on the tenth floor of Jade Dew Hotel, each having booked a room, marking a truly luxurious stay.
On the same tenth floor, in one room, resided the four men in suits and sunglasses.
These were the same men who called Zhu Qinglong during the day to report on Lin Fei and his group’s whereabouts.
At this moment, it was the man called Zhu Qi who dialed Zhu Qinglong’s phone again, “Boss, they spent the day sightseeing around Jade Dew Mountain and just returned to the hotel, staying on the tenth floor.”
“Hmm, Zhu Qi, keep a close watch on them. Tomorrow, I need to attend Baoli Group’s property event on Jade Dew Mountain and plan to take care of them at the same time,” Zhu Qinglong’s sinister voice stated over the phone.
“Yes, Boss,” Zhu Qi replied.
At the foot of Lotus Mountain, in the study of the Zhu Mansion villa estate.
After hanging up his phone, Zhu Qinglong squinted slightly, his eyes glinting with a knife-like sharpness, saying, “I didn’t expect them to show up at Jade Dew Mountain; it’s a perfect chance to deal with them.”
“Dad, are we going to take care of Lin Fei and Leng Ying tomorrow?” asked Zhu Zirui, sitting across from Zhu Qinglong, his eyes flickering with ruthlessness.
Zhu Qinglong nodded, “No matter what ‘King of Killers’ he is, he can’t dodge a gunman’s bullet. Daring to injure my son, if I don’t kill them, won’t it mean anyone in Shencheng can bully my son freely?”
Zhu Zirui said guiltily, “Dad, I brought shame to you.”
“No, the opponent’s martial arts were too strong, you weren’t his match, there’s no shame in that,” Zhu Qinglong did not blame his son.
Then, as if reminded of something, Zhu Qinglong said to Zhu Zirui, “By the way, my Master, Master Qingteng, is currently cultivating at Qingyun Temple on top of Jade Dew Mountain. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to see him, and you can also cultivate at Qingyun Temple for a while.”
“Yes, Dad,” Zhu Zirui quickly agreed.
Zhu Qinglong immediately dialed a phone number.
After a few rings, someone picked up, “Qinglong, what do you need?”
The voice on the phone was none other than Master Qingteng.
“Master, tomorrow I happen to have some business on Jade Dew Mountain, and I wish to pay you a visit at Qingyun Temple,” said Zhu Qinglong, the formidable underworld boss, suddenly transformed, speaking with utmost respect and even a hint of deference.
