Chapter 1694 - 1691: Yunquan Villa

The further the car went, the fewer tall buildings there were. Finally, they arrived in front of a mountain, but this mountain was unlike Red Leaf Mountain, which was in a wild state. From a distance, amidst the overlapping shadows of trees, there were ancient-style pavilions and towers. The lights were also uniquely styled, taking the form of lanterns.

In front of the mountain was a large gate, with a plaque hanging above that read: Yunquan Villa. On either side of the gate were very tall walls, even higher than the four-meter walls of Xiao Manxuan’s home.

At this moment, the area in front of the gate was bustling, not because there were many people, but because there were many cars. Various luxury cars descended from the road, slowing their speed in front of the gate. They stopped briefly at the gate, handed out invitations from the car windows, and then directly drove into the villa.

The cars didn’t stop outside but drove into the villa, indicating that there must be a large parking lot inside. Lin Tian had already observed from afar and estimated that Yunquan Villa was larger in scale than the Xiao Family’s Tianfu Restaurant. It seemed like another high-class place where rich people dined, and ordinary people couldn’t enter.

In a city like Jinghua City, where every inch of land was precious, having such a large villa meant the owner wasn’t just wealthy but held a certain social status. Otherwise, other elite members of society wouldn’t acknowledge them.

For example, coal barons and nouveau riche might be extremely wealthy, but prominent families mostly disdain interacting with these newly rich, as there is a disparity in heritage and culture. Of course, whether they are prominent families or nouveau riche, once they turn aggressive, there’s not much difference.

Money makes the world go round, and this is a universal truth.

"Lin Tian, how do we get in?" As they approached the gate, He Xiaofei couldn’t help but ask.

Before Lin Tian could answer, Liu Yuansi’s Maserati slightly slowed its speed, aligning parallel to Lin Tian’s car. The window rolled down, revealing Liu Yuansi’s face once again.

A smile appeared on his face, carrying an inexplicable sense of schadenfreude. He raised his eyebrows at Lin Tian and asked with feigned concern, "Lin Tian, have you figured out a way to get in? If not, you could be our attendant, and the ladies could serve as our companions. That way, I might be able to bring you in."

"Keep dreaming if you think we’d be your dance partners," Xiao Manxuan said bluntly, giving no face.

Being rejected by a beauty, Liu Yuansi’s face turned awkward. He immediately donned a cold expression and said, "Then you can enjoy the cold night air outside. Without me and Brother Zhao, you wouldn’t get into a place like this for your entire life!"

As he spoke, he accelerated past Lin Tian, heading toward the gate. A security guard in a black suit extended his hand, and the Maserati stopped at the gate.

Both Liu Yuansi and Zhao Weitao took out their invitations and handed them to the security guard, who swiftly glanced at them and handed them back. "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Liu, please come in. There are signs inside to guide you to the parking lot. Please follow the route, and someone will park your car for you."

The two retrieved their invitations and were about to leave when they suddenly said to the security, "Brother, do you see that car behind us? Yes, that ordinary domestic car. They’re trying to sneak in, so be careful."

The head security guard turned to look at Lin Tian’s "domestic car," frowning slightly. He signaled inside the gate, and another, younger security guard came out. The head security asked him to temporarily take over his post and walked towards Lin Tian’s car.

"Let’s see how they make a fool of themselves now. They’ll be chased away like stray dogs," Liu Yuansi coldly sneered, as if envisioning Lin Tian being driven away with his car.

"Lin Tian, Liu Yuansi seems to have bad-mouthed us. The security guard is coming to give us trouble," Xiao Manxuan said, as if she could read lips, frowning.

Actually, there was no need to read lips; it wasn’t hard to guess that those two wouldn’t say anything good and would definitely take advantage of the situation.

"Are we going to be chased away? Maybe we should leave first." Young Zhong Ling had never seen such a grand scene and felt uneasy.

Limited edition luxury cars, a magnificent villa, strict security—these things are rare sights for ordinary people, enough to make them timid and lacking confidence.

He Xiaofei, from an academic family, was not easily intimidated but was truly angry. After all, they were from the same club, and Zhao Weitao stooped so low.

The most unperturbed were Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan. Lin Tian glanced at the approaching security and spoke to the AI Little Ya: "Check the information on Yunquan Villa."

Just as he asked, Little Ya immediately replied, "Mr. Lin, no need to check. I know Yunquan Villa. It’s under the Yun Family, just like me. Of course, Little Ya now belongs to you."

Little Ya’s voice was gentle, pleasant, and perceptive. When the girls in the car heard "Little Ya belongs to you," their expressions turned odd.

Although Little Ya was just an AI, its level of personification was so high that people often mistook it for an intelligent, elegant, and beautiful girl.

Only He Xiaofei and Zhong Ling seemed to overlook the phrase "belongs to the Yun Family like me."

Lin Tian didn’t mind the last sentence much—perhaps this was the difference between male and female brain structures. What he focused on were the words "Yun Family."

"Lin Tian, this is Yun Family’s property. We probably can’t get in," even He Xiaofei lost confidence. Being a native of Jinghua City, growing up there at Jinghua University, she understood what the Yun Family meant in Jinghua City.

"Maybe I should talk to my dad. The Yun Family’s biological lab once consulted him. He might know a way," He Xiaofei quickly suggested, although she wasn’t very sure.

Lin Tian believed her; after all, He Xiaofei’s father was a professor at Jinghua University, an expert in the university’s life science lab, and often provided technical consulting to social enterprises.

Professors and teachers are indeed well-connected. Their students are often social elites. The technical research they possess is what many companies need.

Knowledge is power. People who question this merely lack knowledge.

However, they didn’t have enough time for He Xiaofei to contact her professor father, as the head security guard had already arrived at the car window.

The head security was still very polite, maintaining an appropriate smile. He courteously said, "Sir, hello, please show your invitation."

Just as Lin Tian was about to speak, a soft beep echoed inside the car, a faint light flashed, scanning the security’s face, upper body, and the badge around his neck through the window.

Then the car’s central screen lit up, displaying a portrait and several lines of text next to it. Everyone recognized the portrait’s resemblance to the outside security guard, leaving both them and the security guard surprised.
