The following day, the arrival of the Ye family finally put Ye Longlin’s anxious heart at ease.
At least for now, with the Ye family’s backing, he could act more freely in many matters.
“Old Ancestor.”
Ye Longlin bowed respectfully. Although he had reservations about the Ye family, their blood still flowed within him.
Ye Tianqiong nodded slightly, “Go ahead and do what you need to do. No matter what happens, the Ye family will cover for you.”
“The entire Ye family has come this time. Even if you were to poke a hole in the sky, the Ye family could patch it up for you.”
Although the Ye family didn’t say much, their actions expressed their resolve.
Whether their all-out mobilization was for the safety of Great Xia or for his own safety, the fact that everyone from the Ye family had come sent a surge of warmth through his heart.
“Good!”
Ye Longlin was also brief and to the point. As for the accommodation, Ye Tianqiong didn’t trouble them with it. The Grand Elder had already made arrangements. It was next to the Xia family’s residence, separated only by a wall, and it was also a courtyard. This courtyard had once belonged to the Xia family, but it had now been turned into an exhibition hall.
The items inside the exhibition hall had been moved out the previous night, and furniture and household items had been brought in, making it ready for occupancy.
After a brief meeting, Ye Longlin left directly.
“Boss, Bai Qi rejected our invitation.”
After getting up that day, Ye Longlin had instructed Xuan Niao to send an invitation to Bai Qi, but Bai Qi had directly refused, which surprised him greatly.
He stroked his chin, clearly not expecting Bai Qi to refuse his invitation. It was truly unexpected.
“Tell him that if he doesn’t show up within an hour, we’ll send him to the Yellow Springs tonight!”
If he came, they would send him to the Yellow Springs shortly thereafter!
It wouldn’t make much difference in a few hours anyway.
“Understood.”
...
The Chengfeng Leisure Mountain Villa is located on Hutou Mountain, about a forty-minute drive from the city center, a place rarely visited by people.
Of course, on a Tuesday, there wouldn’t be many people, as most were at work. On weekends, this place would be almost full, requiring reservations, and it operated on an appointment-only basis.
“Mr. Ye, please come in. Your designated area is ready. Please follow me.”
With an ecological leisure culture as its theme, it integrates garden architecture, natural ecology, and comprehensive development of ecological industries. The resort features Chinese dining areas, accommodation and conference facilities, entertainment and wellness zones, fishing areas, fruit and flower viewing areas, fruit picking areas, vegetable planting areas, and poultry and livestock farming areas.
The villa is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with ancient and elegant architecture and a refined and charming environment, embodying a Jiangnan pastoral landscape. In spring, you can enjoy outings and flower viewing; in summer, escape the heat and play in the water; in autumn, pick fruits; and in winter, walk on snow and admire plum blossoms, creating a comfortable, elegant, and tranquil natural ecological environment with fragrant fruits year-round, offering you a high-quality spiritual and material enjoyment.
The villa covers a total area of over 1,000 mu, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The undulating mountains and secluded valleys are rich in vegetation and diverse species, with dense shrubs. Over 30 varieties of fruit trees, totaling nearly 20,000, are planted here, producing over 100,000 jin of fruit annually.
The lakes and ponds are stocked with over ten thousand jin of fish such as grass carp, silver carp, crucian carp, bream, bighead carp, common carp, and black carp. White geese and wild ducks swim leisurely in the water. With classical music and an elegant environment, it is your best choice for fishing and leisure.
The natural and humanistic landscapes of the villa are seamlessly integrated, creating a unique charm. The Linfeng Pavilion stands majestically atop the mountain, offering a panoramic view of the city’s beautiful scenery. The Jijiating Pavilion stands by the water, allowing one to see the layered green waves and hear the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, truly refreshing the spirit.
The Linfang Villa is built along the mountainside, with a gurgling stream nearby and the air filled with floral scents, making it an ideal place for tea tasting and entertainment. The Jixi Ju resembles a grand garden, ancient and peculiar in its architecture, serving as an excellent venue for dining, accommodation, conferences, and entertainment.
This place was founded by a friend of Xia Qingxie. It has been over thirty years since its establishment, undergoing five renovations and ten major improvements, transforming it into one of the must-visit attractions over the past three decades.
Of course, as Ye Longlin requested, even if a whole company were hidden here, no one would discover them, as it is surrounded by mountains on three sides.
“Yuan Gang, in position.”
“Sniper team, in position.”
“Assault team, in position.”
“Drone pilot, in position.”
“Long-range firepower support team, in position.”
As soon as he entered, Ye Longlin’s earpiece was filled with voices. He remained silent.
“Mr. Ye, the boss said today we are only receiving you. If any of your friends come later, they can just give your name at the entrance.”
The villa manager led the way, speaking respectfully to Ye Longlin with a slight bow.
“Thank you for your trouble.”
“It is my duty.”
“Mr. Ye, this is Linfang Villa. I will not be entering. We have a rule to protect our guests’ privacy. Please, you go ahead.”
“If you have any requests, there are walkie-talkies and call buttons in the room. You can call me anytime if you need me.”
After speaking, the villa manager discreetly withdrew.
Entering Linfang Villa, the environment was indeed pleasant and antique.
On the walls were displayed various sets of tea sets. Guests could choose any set they liked to use. Opposite the tea set wall was a wall filled with tea leaves, just like the tea sets, the entire wall was covered with tea.
On both sides were floor-to-ceiling windows, through which sunlight streamed in.
To the left was a pond, which connected to the villa’s reservoir. Outside, there was a boat that could be used to sail directly into the water for fishing.
In short, within this villa, even if guests brought nothing, everything would be prepared for them, from toothpicks to vehicles, ensuring a truly at-home feeling.
“The environment here is quite nice. When I retire, I’ll build a place like this too. Later, I can raise horses and park helicopters and such.”
“Xuan Niao, find me some professional designers to create a rendering of the estate. Once the Dark Hall is dealt with, we’ll start construction.”
Xuan Niao nodded, “Understood.”
If it were a large estate, they could still be with their boss. After all, they knew how to be drivers and stewards, and their lives belonged to their boss. Following their boss didn’t seem like a problem.
“Oh, right boss, you’ve been busy these past two days. Do you want to meet my father this afternoon? He’s been waiting here for two days.”
Hearing Xuan Niao’s words, Ye Longlin’s expression stiffened, and he coughed twice. “Ahem, my apologies, I forgot. How about this, tell Patriarch Mo to come directly. He can give my name at the entrance when he arrives.”
