People's perspectives are so strange. Only businesspeople, unless they are well-known top tycoons, have the right to be willful. They can drive around in a junky car and still be praised for their thriftiness. Ordinary businesspeople simply don't have the right to be willful. To avoid their partners doubting their company's financial strength, they are eager to be fully equipped from head to toe. They wear designer watches, designer clothes, drive luxury cars, live in villas, and everything else to highlight their "wealthy" tastes.
If one day the CEO of a company walks around the street in slippers without thinking, the next day there may be many more partners in the company asking for payment because they will suspect that the company is going bankrupt.
Yu Xiaohan's home is a villa located in Mid-Levels. The villa covers over a thousand square meters, which is no less than a huge fortune in Hong Kong Island, where every inch of land is valuable. It also symbolizes the immense financial strength of the Yu Group.
As the black Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the winding mountain road, Zhou Yuanyuan frowned.
Somehow, Zhou Yuanyuan felt that this area had an aura that made her feel uncomfortable. As the car drove higher, this uncomfortable feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Master, something's wrong here." The Chaos Pearl's voice rang in Zhou Yuanyuan's ear. Now, the Chaos Pearl had transformed into a small, pale pink pearl clinging to Zhou Yuanyuan's earlobe, making her round, white earlobe appear even more plump and adorable.
A few days ago, thanks to Xiaoyu's constant gossip, Zhou Yuanyuan's attitude towards Chaos Pearl had become much warmer, much to the amusement of Chaos Pearl. After Zhou Yuanyuan decided to come to Hong Kong Island, Chaos Pearl insisted on staying by her side, euphemistically calling it "close protection." If Chaos Pearl hadn't spoken with the soft, adorable voice of a young woman, Zhou Yuanyuan would have kicked it to the ground.
Xiaoyu also supported Chaos Pearl's opinion. Activating the Chaos Pearl's invisible state would consume a certain amount of energy, which would be detrimental to Zhou Yuanyuan's advancement. After all, the Chaos Pearl was now Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual treasure. If the Chaos Pearl consumed too much energy, a portion of the spiritual energy Zhou Yuanyuan absorbed daily would automatically be converted into energy to maintain the Chaos Pearl's level.
Zhou Yuanyuan already transferred a portion of the spiritual energy she absorbed daily to Xiaoyu. Another Chaos Orb would undoubtedly hinder her advancement. The owner's strength could influence the use of spiritual treasures to a certain extent, and neither Xiaoyu nor the Chaos Orb itself wanted to be a burden to Zhou Yuanyuan.
At Xiaoyu's strong request, Zhou Yuanyuan had to let the Chaos Pearl turn into a pearl earring and stay on her earlobe.
"Hmm, I think something's amiss, too. Zhuzhu, activate scanning mode and see what secrets this mountain holds," Zhou Yuanyuan instructed calmly. Zhou Yuanyuan never felt as relaxed with the Chaos Pearl as she did with Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, in Zhou Yuanyuan's heart, was a mentor and a helpful friend. The Chaos Pearl, however, was initially Zhou Yuanyuan's enemy. After failing to defraud Zhou Yuanyuan and Xiaoyu, it was forced by Heaven to become Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual treasure.
Perhaps, deep in Zhou Yuanyuan's heart, she always had a hint of vigilance towards the Chaos Pearl that "abandoned darkness and turned to light".
"Yes," the Chaos Pearl replied crisply. Oh my goodness! Its master had finally told it to do something. God knows how much it envied Brother Xiaoyu's status in front of its master. A spirit treasure that couldn't do anything for its master wasn't a good spirit treasure!
Zhou Yuanyuan and Hun Dun Zhu had just finished talking when the car stopped in front of a large house halfway up the mountain.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked up and saw an iron gate more than two meters high standing in front of the car. The iron gate looked very thick, giving people a heavy and depressing feeling.
Just as Zhou Yuanyuan was about to ask if this was Yu Xiaohan's home, the infrared device on the iron gate began to flash.
Zhou Yuanyuan's pores stood up and a feeling of being spied on came over her.
"Grandpa Yu, why isn't the car moving?" Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask.
If anything went wrong with Yu Xiaohan, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't mind knocking him and his driver out right there and then. Ugh! She'd been a little careless. Relying on her own skills, she declined General Zhou's suggestion to send two guards to follow her, and instead followed Yu Xiaohan from Kyoto to Hong Kong Island.
A cultivator's intuition is very sharp. From the moment they entered the winding mountain path, Zhou Yuanyuan had always felt that something was going to happen. However, Yu Xiaohan was Xiaoyu and Xiaoxia's grandfather, so he shouldn't be a bad person... right?
"Master, it's okay. Zhuzhu has already scanned the area. There are no powerful beings here. If this Yu dares to harm the three of us, Zhuzhu doesn't mind wiping out everyone on this mountain," Chaos Pearl reassured Zhou Yuanyuan. While in Kyoto, Zhou Yuanyuan mostly stayed at the Zhou family compound. With General Zhou around, the security factor was extremely high, and the Chaos Pearl had no place to use it.
To be honest, the Chaos Pearl was hoping that Yu Xiaohan could do something so that it could "have a place to use its skills".
To wipe out an entire mountain of people? Zhuzhu, this guy really dared to think so. Zhou Yuanyuan was completely annoyed.
"Zhuzhu, don't do anything without my permission," Zhou Yuanyuan quickly warned Chaos Pearl. If she hadn't said that, Zhou Yuanyuan was sure the headlines in Hong Kong's major newspapers tomorrow would be "Millionaires in Mid-Levels Luxury Homes Die in Sudden Deaths" or "Millionaires in Mid-Levels Luxury Homes Disappear." She had come to Hong Kong Island to help Yu Xiaohan, not to submit a manuscript.
"Miss Yuanyuan, this is the surveillance camera in my house. It automatically scans the car and the people inside it. It will let them pass in a while." Yu Xiaohan explained with a smile.
There was no other way. Yu Xiaohan's father-in-law, Qian Dabao, was extremely afraid of death. He had purchased this surveillance system from Country M at a high price. It was said to be the most advanced military product. Even after Qian Dabao's death, the Country M military had personnel come every year to maintain and upgrade the security system.
Half a minute later, the gate of the mansion slowly opened. As the car passed under the gate, Zhou Yuanyuan's alarm grew even stronger.
Zhou Yuanyuan released her spiritual sense and saw that the black shell of the Rolls-Royce was surrounded by thin beams of red and green light, just like a dense spider web wrapped around the shell of the car.
Is it a laser? Zhou Yuanyuan's heart sank, and she sent out her spiritual sense to actively sense it.
No, these rays were just ordinary rays. Zhou Yuanyuan finally felt relieved.
If the light outside the car was actually a laser, Zhou Yuanyuan would have considered activating her Diamond Talisman. After all, without any assurance, she wouldn't dare confront the legendary indestructible laser beams with her flesh and blood.
