Lu Yuan drove the speedboat at high speed towards Lincheng District.
Sitting in the cockpit, Lu Yuan silently stared at the water ahead, his mind racing with thoughts of how to deal with this man named Ma Hongyi.
Ma Hongyi, having served as a leader, must possess an exceptionally strong will. Kidnapping his family is something Lu Yuan could never accomplish.
Because this kind of person cares a lot about his family, if he were to anger the other party, it could very well lead to the failure of his oil business. He is unwilling to provoke this oil expert for the sake of oil.
Continuing forward, Lu Yuan looked down at the location information on the GPS.
We are now less than 20 kilometers away from Lincheng District.
Lu Yuan slowed down the ship to avoid the presence of Lincheng District's garrison troops nearby. If they saw his ship sailing so fast, it could cause a misunderstanding and lead to trouble.
The boat slowly entered the outskirts of Lincheng District. The streets on both sides were now visible, but there were few boats nearby; most of the boats were kayaks.
This kayak was different from the kayak Lu Yuan had imagined; their kayak was basically just an inflated rubber hose.
The small motorboat driven by Lu Yuan caused quite a stir in the entire camp, because in their eyes, anyone who could drive such a motorboat must be a person with considerable wealth.
However, many people just watched from a distance and did not approach.
Lu Yuan was happy to have some free time, so he continued to sail the boat toward its destination.
Ma Hongyi's residence was a luxury mansion in the middle of an affluent area, so Lu Yuan could easily find out once it was shown on the map.
However, Lincheng District is very large. Lu Yuan wandered around the city for about twenty minutes before finally reaching the outskirts of the wealthy area.
As soon as he arrived at the outskirts of the wealthy area, Lu Yuan sensed that the atmosphere was noticeably more tense than before.
Several teams of guards appeared nearby. When the guards saw Lu Yuan's boat a few dozen meters away, they raised their hands to make him stop the boat for inspection and show his identification.
When Lu Yuan explained his purpose, their faces showed expressions of doubt and surprise.
Finally, they found a reasonably reliable captain of the security team. He said that their patrol area used to be in the area where Ma Hongyi lived, and he was willing to help Lu Yuan.
However, he needed some food, and Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony. He took out some food for him and asked some questions indirectly.
I learned from the other party that although Lincheng District had received some relief from the World Survivors Center, it was only relief food, and it was not enough to keep everyone in the camp from starving to death.
The richest neighborhoods in Lincheng District are where everyone envies the best of life. These people control 80% of the food and resources and more than 100% of the land.
Lu Yuan looked up at the distant mansions and could tell that the living conditions of these people were really too good. The ship sailed into the rich area. Fortunately, with the help of the security captain, Lu Yuan did not have to undergo too many checks along the way.
Upon arriving at a dark gray mansion, the former captain of the guard pointed to the mansion and said softly.
"This is Ma Hongyi's residence and office. Here, the office and residence are basically not separated. The wealthy area has chosen this place in order to save on housing space."
This used to be a campsite, but after these mansions were ravaged by a superstorm, only these remain!
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but show a hint of shock in his eyes.
Lu Yuan also knew how fierce the superstorm was when they were building the fortress; even their sturdy house couldn't withstand the superstorm's attack.
It's surprising that some mansions have been preserved here, which shows how high the standards of construction were back then.
After thanking the squad leader of the garrison, Lu Yuan moored the boat at the shore near Ma Hongyi's residence.
In this luxury residential area, every household has a small dock in front of their door. When Lu Yuan moored the boat in front of him, he tied the rope to a railing at the head of the boat to prevent it from being washed away by the water.
Then Lu Yuan arrived at the other party's door, straightened his collar, and gently knocked three times on the door.
Hearing a knock on the door, Ma Hongyi, who was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper, looked up and glanced outside.
"Honey, someone's here. Go open the door!"
At this moment, a woman in the next room, wearing a hat, looked at Ma Hongyi, who was sitting on the sofa, with some dissatisfaction.
"How can you be so lazy? My hands are all wet, and I'm preparing lunch. Can't you even get up and open the door?"
Ma Hongyi grinned and said, "I'm just used to being lazy. Isn't your place closer? Alright, go open the door and see who it is. Maybe it's a report from another department that's been delivered!"
Ma Hongyi's wife gave a helpless laugh, wiped her hands on her apron, walked to the door, and opened it.
The moment the door opened, a tall young man stood outside.
The other person was standing at the door carrying a huge gift box.
When Lu Yuan saw Ma Hongyi's wife, Lin Ailian, come out, he was surprised to see her wearing a hat. However, he still nodded slightly and asked.
"Excuse me, is this Ma Hongyi's home?"
Ma Hongyi's wife, Lin Ailian, was slightly taken aback when she heard this, because she had never seen anyone named Lu Yuan in the camp.
She nodded gently and said, "Yes, may I ask what you need from my husband?"
The other person's words were very gentle, and Lu Yuan felt very comfortable listening to them.
This is perhaps the style of a scholarly family rarely seen in the apocalypse, showing that their family has always lived a good life.
Lu Yuan thus came to the conclusion that the lives of the rich were truly unimaginable to them.
Lu Yuan had witnessed far too many heart-wrenching separations and deaths, and too many people who did the most shameless things to make a living.
These people are basically doing this to survive, but Ma Hongyi's wife makes people feel very comfortable in terms of her speech and manners.
This was clearly a trace of civilization preserved from before the apocalypse, which made Lu Yuan feel somewhat incredulous.
