Charlie was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly regained hisposure. He was already aware that his grandmother’s family would be visiting Aurous Hill, so the news didn’t catch him off guard.
After a brief pause, he inquired of Hong Changqing, “Did my grandma mention when she ns to arrive?”
Hong Changqing responded promptly, “Master Wade, your grandmother has asked for my assistance in checking the Fengshui at her newly purchased house. If everything is in order, I believe she will being soon.” He then quickly added, “By the way, Master Wade, would you like me to have my subordinates look into any Fengshui issues and dy her visit?”
“No need,” Charlie replied with a soft sigh, maintaining his calm demeanor. “The visit will happen eventually. I could keeping up with excuses, but that would only backfire.”
He then asked, “By the way, where is my grandmother’s newly acquired property?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Hong Changqing answered without dy, “Master Wade, it’s located in a ce called Wanliu Vi. I’m not very familiar with Aurous Hill and have never been there myself, but my subordinate checked with Maxton, and it seems that Wanliu Vi is quite close to the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Hotel. The straight-line distance is about one or two kilometers, and it should take less than five kilometers by car.”
Charlie had never heard of Wanliu Vi. The area around the Champs-Elysees Hot Spring is considered somewhat remote, and he wasn’t well-acquainted with the suburbs of Aurous Hill.
However, the fact that Wanliu Vi is near the hot springs made Charlie feel uneasy. He wasn’t ready to acknowledge his grandmother’s family yet, and being too close carried the risk of exposure.
After pondering for a moment, he realized that perhaps being closer to his grandmother’s family could be beneficial. After all, they had already attracted the attention of the Poqing Society, and he could offer better protection if he was nearby.
With this thought in mind, he instructed Hong Changqing, “Go to Wanliu Vi first to assess the situation. Find out how many people the An family has stationed there and whether any immediate family members are present. If not, I’ll wear a mask and apany you. I can tell them that I am a disciple of your Taizhen Dao.”
“Understood, Master Wade!” Hong Changqing responded without hesitation. “I will head over immediately to take a look.”
Charlie nodded, “I’ll await your update.”
…
After more than twenty minutes, Maxton arrived at Wanliu Vi.
The vi earned its name because it is situated on the edge of a picturesque barrierke midway up a mountain, surrounded by dense weeping willows.<fn6e37> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find{n}ovel</fn6e37>
It is estimated that Wanliu Vi boasts over 20,000 to 30,000 willow trees both inside and outside its premises.
While the barrierke isn’trge, its tranquil scenery and mountainous location provide a peaceful atmosphere.
Although there aren’t many houses within Wanliu Vi, each one is a single-family residence. Most of the residents are high-ranking officials and elites, ensuring that security measures are robust, with patrols present throughout the area.
The An family purchased six vis in Wanliu Vi in one go, all positioned close together in a five-pointed star formation. Five of the vis upy the outer corners of the star, while the sixth is centrally located.
At that moment, a housekeeper from the An family was leading a team to meticulously clean and inspect the five houses for any potential safety hazards.
In addition to confirming that the homes were free from risks such as structural copse, fire, or electrical issues, the team was also tasked with evaluating the safety levels of each property, identifying vulnerabilities, and conducting targeted inspections to enhance security.
