Chapter 693: Mysterious Destination
"Mr. Li, are you saying that you are going to completely withdraw from here and stop asking about anything?"
"Exactly, that's what I mean. Therefore, you don't need to think too much about this matter. Many things often happen beyond our control. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand."
After speaking, he just nodded slightly. Although he couldn't truly take care of everything, in the face of such major issues, he had to truly accomplish everything.
Some things are not only about what one can achieve; he also needs to bring these matters to the people around him, including Anying.
"To be honest, I used to be quite worried when I left the tasks to you alone, but now that you have Anying by your side, I feel happy and fortunate for you from the bottom of my heart."
"Yes, I never thought that Anying could be such a great help to me. Indeed, she is a rare talent. We have gained and lost in this process. We might have lost some things, but what I have gained far exceeds those losses."
"Good, you two take care. If there's anything you need me to step in for, I'll introduce you after I finish handling the sign-ins and the plane tickets in the next couple of days. Soon, I will leave, and I'll leave everything to you."
"Okay, I understand."
After finishing the conversation, the two of them drank some tea here, and then talked about some past events.
Around 9 o'clock, the two got ready to leave this place and subsequently arrived at a rural farmhouse in the suburbs.
As soon as the car stopped there, Ye Chen looked around. The place was indeed secluded, and he had never been here before.
He frowned slightly, then turned to look at Li Fu. He didn't understand why Li Fu brought him here in the dead of night. Could it be just to hand over some things to him?
"What do you mean? Why come to this place?"
"Because all my possessions, including my entire fortune, are hidden here."
"What are you saying? But you've never stayed in this city before!"
"That was in the past. And how do you know I've never been in this city? Let me tell you, my first secret base was here. Over the years, it has never truly changed, and that's why it hasn't aroused any suspicion. Come on, it's right ahead."
While speaking, Li Fu pointed ahead. Ye Chen saw what appeared to be just an ordinary gate, which from the outside looked somewhat desolate and dilapidated.
Li Fu walked up to it, then fished out a rusty key from his pocket and fumbled with it for a while before finally managing to unlock it.
From this alone, Ye Chen could tell that although the place was important, it seemed that Li Fu hadn't visited here for a long time.
After entering, Ye Chen saw that the area was overgrown with weeds.
The tallest weeds had already grown past his waist, indicating that the place had not been properly maintained for a long time.
However, it seemed that Li Fu did not intend to stay in the courtyard. If indeed all the items were hidden inside, it would indeed hold special significance for him.
He noticed Li Fu walked towards another corner of the yard upon entering.
In the corner, there should have been a toilet, but due to disrepair, it had completely collapsed.
However, Li Fu didn't stop there. Instead, he bypassed the toilet and reached toward the base of the wall with his hand.
At last, Ye Chen clearly heard the sound of mechanical movement, and then he saw the wall slowly open.
When the wall was fully opened, Ye Chen saw a staircase leading downwards, very neatly made.
No matter the situation outside, the inside alone looked incredibly clean.
It was clear that this place had excellent secrecy; even if it had been left untouched for many years, it would not be threatened or affected in any way.
"Come on, this is the place. How about it, did you expect that in such a desolate place, there would be an underground chamber?"
"I truly didn't know before. It looks like you have been operating here for a long time, right?"
"Pretty much, it's been almost 20 years. But in the recent years, because I've been preoccupied with other matters, I haven't managed it. Today, since you are here with me, I'll roughly show you around."
As he spoke, he followed Li Fu's steps down the staircase.
As soon as they entered, the lights inside suddenly turned on, presumably activated by a motion sensor.
Then, the wall behind slowly closed, and the area became completely sealed.
Following Li Fu down the staircase, when they reached the bottom, Ye Chen saw a large hall in front of him which was completely empty.
In a corner of the hall, there was a larger-than-normal iron door.
Li Fu walked straight to it and pressed a code. Soon, the large iron door swung open.
Ye Chen stood outside and was deeply attracted by the decor inside.
He never imagined that such a luxurious place could exist in such a desolate location.
