After Yu'er started the car, she immediately took her hands off the steering wheel, letting the car move forward automatically.
Guo Xuyang found it interesting and tried it himself.
It was very similar to using his storage ability, except that one was to put things away, while this was to control the steering wheel, which was even simpler than storing things.
In just a short while, Guo Xuyang learned it.
In case of an emergency, he could completely use his ability to control the steering wheel.
When the two of them arrived at the King's Villa, Xia Li and Xiao Yun were organizing security personnel to inspect the vehicles.
The car was parked at the entrance of the villa on the west side, to be locked after the inspection was completed.
Early the next morning, they would start loading the jade raw materials prepared in the safe, all of which had been appraised and priced.
The value of the jade raw materials being transported this time reached over fifty billion.
There were also two strings of imperial green glass-type necklaces, two pairs of imperial green glass-type bracelets, and six decorative pieces, with a total value close to one hundred billion.
Therefore, both of them attached great importance to this transport.
Each time they transported goods, the loading personnel were drawn from Wu Youzhi's shop, and the security personnel were only responsible for escorting.
They were afraid that if the security personnel knew the value of these goods, they might develop ill intentions.
Moreover, the escorting security personnel were randomly selected, and the surveillance personnel within the villa were not allowed to participate in the escort.
These measures were all to prevent any problems on the road.
Initially, Xiao Yun also accompanied the vehicles for escort. Later, after cooperating with the security company and becoming familiar with them, they would send the detailed list of goods to Wu Youzhi in the capital or Xu Liping in Shanghai, and they would inspect the goods themselves. This also saved them the trouble of traveling.
These security vehicles were equipped with monitoring systems. Before each departure, Xiao Yun would obtain the monitoring access for the escort vehicles and, together with Xia Li, monitor the entire process from their room.
After listening to Xiao Yun's explanation, Guo Xuyang highly approved of their work.
"Very good, this not only saves time and effort but also ensures safety."
"We will accompany you tomorrow, so I arranged for six more decorative pieces, two necklaces, and two pairs of bracelets. Usually, the materials are around fifty billion." Xiao Yun said.
"No problem, we'll go along tomorrow to take a look. What time are we planning to depart?"
"We usually depart at nine o'clock, arriving in Shanghai around one in the afternoon, which doesn't delay them from returning in the afternoon. Shall we still depart at nine o'clock tomorrow?"
"An hour earlier. This way, we won't miss lunch when we get there, and I can treat them to a good meal. I've never interacted with these people before."
"Okay. I'll notify the shop staff to come and load the car at six in the morning tomorrow. I'll notify the security company tomorrow."
"Why not notify them in advance?"
"I'm afraid some people might have malicious intentions. After all, these are not small sums of money. Two hours in advance is more than enough time."
"Caution prevents trouble, you handle it as you see fit. What are we eating tonight?"
"Anything. I can eat anywhere."
"How about we go for some lamb soup? I've been craving it for a few days."
"There's a good whole lamb restaurant down the mountain. I remember we ate there before."
"Then let's go to the whole lamb restaurant."
The four of them went to the whole lamb restaurant and ordered two catties of lamb, two cold dishes, and two hot dishes.
Guo Xuyang also took out a bottle of wine.
When Xiao Yun saw the wine, she knew Guo Xuyang had another idea, so she poured a glass for each of them.
"Yu'er will be driving later, so I'll drink this for her," Guo Xuyang said, making a phone call.
"Dad, I have something to do outside right now, so I won't be back for dinner tonight. You don't need to cook for me. Also, I'll be staying out tonight. Okay, goodbye."
Upon hearing Guo Xuyang's phone call, Xia Li's face couldn't help but blush slightly.
She knew that Guo Xuyang was probably not going to be idle tonight.
This was also good, as her fields had been fallow for a long time, and no one came to cultivate them.
"It's been a long time since I've visited. You two have worked hard during this period. My first glass of wine is to you, thank you!"
Guo Xuyang then drank the entire glass of wine.
This was purely like a cow chewing on peonies, a waste of heavenly treasures.
These were aged wines, yet he drank them as if they were beer.
Xiao Yun and Xia Li had no choice but to finish their wine.
They had no idea what Guo Xuyang was thinking.
His little brothers were restless, and he had no intention of savoring the wine.
He couldn't wait to finish eating and start cultivating the fields immediately.
Yu'er, on the side, slowly drank the lamb soup. The lamb soup was truly delicious. She wondered what the owner used to make it.
"Come, let's eat and drink. You two each get one of these, and I'll have two."
Guo Xuyang said as he put a sheep's kidney into each of Xiao Yun's and Xia Li's bowls.
"This thing is very nourishing, no less than oysters."
"Yangzi, I want one too," Yu'er suddenly said.
"It's easy for a young girl to get too much heat from eating this, and you'll get acne, which won't be pretty," Guo Xuyang said while eating, fearing that Yu'er would snatch them away.
"I'll give you mine," Xiao Yun said, moving the sheep's kidney in front of her to Yu'er.
"Thank you, Yun Jie. I only want Yangzi's. Why do you each get one and he gets two? Boss, another order of sheep's kidneys."
"Sister, we're out of sheep's kidneys. Those four are all for you," said the plump owner.
"Then forget it. Weigh me another ten catties of lamb later, and I'll pack it to go," Yu'er said.
"Okay, sister. If you want sheep's kidneys next time, call in advance, and I'll save them for you."
"Thank you, boss."
"Why do you want so much lamb?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"To eat. This lamb is quite tender, and the lamb soup is also good. I'll take it back for Uncle and Auntie to try."
"Aren't you not going back tonight?"
"If you're not going back, I am. I'm not staying here to listen to you sing."
Yu'er's remark made Xiao Yun and Xia Li blush deeply.
"Then will you come back tomorrow morning?"
"I'll bring Yezi tomorrow morning."
"That's fine. You can take us back and then go back. Drive slowly on the road."
"Don't you know my driving skills? I'm fine."
"Your driving skills might be fine, but that doesn't mean others' are.
You might not hit anyone, but that doesn't mean no one will hit you.
You haven't been driving for long, so try to drive slower."
"I know. You guys eat quickly, I'm full. I'll wait for you in the car."
Yu'er said as she stood up, picked up the ten catties of lamb, and went out.
"Why does Yu'er seem a little unhappy?" Xiao Yun asked, glancing at Guo Xuyang.
"No, she's always like this."
"No. Is it because you didn't give her the sheep's kidney?"
"She's not that petty. Don't overthink it, eat quickly so we can go back."
Guo Xuyang said as he poured another glass of red wine for each of them, finishing the bottle.
"Come, let's drink and eat," he said, drinking the wine.
"Comfortable. Eating lamb and drinking red wine is fine too. You don't necessarily have to eat steak to drink red wine."
