Chapter 124 – The Huge Estate (2/2)

Lei Yu knew that Bianca had to figure out the situation so he didn’t say anything unnecessary and just nodded his head. With Ai Er, the two of them quietly sat in the coffee shop drinking coffee except that they weren’t in the mood to enjoy it.

“Brother Yu, the people in Tenglong country gave me a call and said the investigative team will be arriving in the U.S. this afternoon. What should we do?”

Lei Yu slammed his cup onto the table; troubling things did indeed all come at once. “Who cares about the investigative team. Dr. Tony’s side currently wants my life and Hu Jiong is under their control. I really don’t have time to care about the team. Isn’t it just some little bitch’s arm that’s broken? What’s the big deal about that?”

“But I heard that the people in Martial Sect were really pissed off. Uncle Shangguan… Shangguan Xi Hong said this was equivalent to their own people fighting against each other.” Ai Er knew Lei Yu was in a bad mood but there were things that Lei Yu had to hear about since this wasn’t considered something trivial.

“Okay, I understand.” Lei Yu lowered his head and tenderly said: “You want to come with me to a place?”

“To where?” Ai Er asked.

Lei Yu smiled. “Since we don’t have anywhere else to go, let’s go look for… an old friend.”

The state of Idaho was a beautiful place surrounded by rivers and forests. It was a good place for a vacation and Lei Yu’s destination was that.

With a distance that was pretty far away, they enjoyed the scenery as they drove across the country. Since Ai Er didn’t get any sleep the previous night, she was covered with a jacket that Lei Yu took out from his storage ring and sweetly fell asleep.

The small towns in the U.S. were different from the Tenglong country’s. Each of them had their own distinct uniqueness and embraced their ancient heritage. Some of their residences crossed the barrier of modern time and made one feel they had returned to the early colonic era.

According to the GPS display, Lei Yu had arrived at one of the largest cities in Idaho. Just to be safe, Lei Yu stopped at the side of the road and took off his ring. He then went looking for people that were more elderly in age.

“Excuse me, do you recognize this ring?”

The elderly person was stunned, “how come you have this?”

It looks like this person recognizes it which made Lei Yu silently ecstatic. It appears the old woman didn’t exaggerate herself. “Well, an old woman gave this to me and told me to look for her with this.”

Hearing this, the elderly person enthusiastically gave some directions to Lei Yu. The car came to a stop outside a huge estate, “Wow, it’s so big!” Lei Yu could not help praising.

The estate was surrounded by an iron fence that wasn’t very tall, and encompassing it was soft and delicate green grass that swayed with the breeze. On top of the grass were a variety of dogs from all over the world running around. A path that wasn’t too wide but was able to fit a car was connected from the front gate to a nearby villa that was at least 10,000 square meters (107639 sqft). No, we should really call this a castle because it was too big, too extravagant and beautiful.

“Excuse me sir, how can I help you?” Outside the main gate, a soft spoken middle-aged man with brown hair asked.

“Oh, I’m looking for an old woman; she’s the owner of this ring.” Lei Yu then showed the ring in his hand. The middle-aged man then hurriedly picked up the phone inside a small hut beside the main gate, “Mr. Hawes! Someone came with the ring! Yes…! Yes!”

The middle-aged man’s voice sounded very excited, he was so excited that he could barely speak and hurriedly opened the main gate. “Quickly come in, come in! The madam has been waiting for you for a long time!”

Lei Yu nodded and blinked a few times before getting back into his car. He then drove into the estate while people he passed were discussing something enthusiastically. “Oh my god! A car was allowed to drive into the estate? Who on earth are they?”

“They look like two young people!”

“This is really too shocking, there has never been an outsider’s vehicle allowed into the estate before!”
