Lin Wan’er, also known as ni, remarked, “Alright, before you head out, please have Skuna arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport.”


    “Sure!” replied Sun Zhidong. “I’ve been working on some local connections in Aurous Hill. While some individuals have retired, they have always honored theirmitments in this city. When the timees, we can ask them to help investigate the Charlie you’re looking for!”


    Lin Wan’er smiled and said, “There’s no need for that; I’ve already located him.”


    “What?!” Sun Zhidong eximed in disbelief. “You found him?! That was quick!”


    “Indeed,” Lin Wan’er confirmed, speaking earnestly. “Life is all about making a few crucial decisions correctly. When you do, you can effortlessly achieve sess, whether that’s in fortune or finding someone.” As she spoke, she added, “Today’s events have been quite intriguing; I’ll share the details once you arrive.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Great!” Sun Zhidong responded eagerly. “I’ll get ready to leave!”


    After that, Lin Wan’er remained in the car without stepping out again.


    Skuna and his wife didn’t linger for long either. After a half-hour discussion with the school leaders, they politely excused themselves from the teaching administration building, saying they had reached their limit.


    The couple then returned to their vehicle, surrounded by a crowd, and the convoy slowly made its way out of Aurous Hill University, heading towards Zijin Mountain.


    Zijin Mountain spans over 30 square kilometers and is roughly shaped like a round stone with rugged edges. The distance from north to south and east to west is about six kilometers.<fn08d8> Official source is find?novel</fn08d8>


    The southern part of Zijin Mountain is a 5A-level scenic area, while the northern section is mostly restricted.


    Skuna’s manor is situated on one of the peaks in the northern half, rising hundreds of meters above sea level.


    Owning such a manor in this remarkable location is entirely due to Skuna’s early investment in the maind. His willingness to contribute substantial donations helped him gain significant respect and recognition in Aurous Hill. In thest 20 to 30 years, such a manor has been a rare find.


    The convoy entered the mountain via the inner passage in the north of Zijin Mountain. From the mountain’s base, it’s already a controlled area where tourists can’t enter, making it very serene.


    As they traveled along Panshan Road to the mountain’s summit, Lin Wan’er caught sight of the grand archway made of white marble, inscribed with the words “Zijin Mountain Vi.”


    Even she couldn’t help but admire the grandeur and elegance of the manor.


    While it may not rival the opulence of European castles, it offers a sense of tranquility and an escape from the chaos of the world, all while being just a few kilometers from Aurous Hill’s bustling business district.


    Finding such a peaceful retreat in this area is indeed rare.


    The entire manor is adorned with towering old trees and a variety of nts, blooming vibrantly in summer. From a distance, it’s hard to imagine such a vast private estate is concealed within.


    The design of the manor reflects the style of Gusu gardens. Given the mountain’s elevation, the architecturalyout of the manor is tiered like a cake. The bottomyer is thergest, boasting a square footprint of over 100 meters per side, covering at least 10,000 to 20,000 square meters. The second floor is considerably smaller, with a side length of about 50 meters and an area of around 3,000 square meters.


    At the mountain’s peak, there is a quaint courtyard made of blue bricks and stone tiles, measuring just over 20 meters on each side, totaling more than 400 square meters. It features three tile-roofed structures—two smaller ones and one taller, which is two stories high.


    Additionally, there is a small courtyard, about 100 square meters, entirely paved with natural bluestone.


    Skuna addressed Lin Wan’er, saying, “Miss, don’t be fooled by the size of my manor; the true essence lies in the humble courtyard at the top. If you don’t mind, you’re wee to stay there for now!”


    Lin Wan’er looked up at the small courtyard perched high above, about 20 to 30 meters up. Though she hadn’t yet visited it, she expressed her admiration, saying, “Had I known you owned such a beautiful manor, I would have never considered going to Northern Europe…”


    However, she quickly shook her head, adding with conviction, “Fortunately, I didn’t discover this ce sooner; otherwise, I might have ended up in Northern Europe! That trip would have been a disaster. If I couldn’t ovee it, I would have faced dire consequences; but now, I’m ready to embrace a fresh start!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
