Chapter 42
In Xing Zhao's imagination, watching fireworks by the river should be a very romantic and private thing, until the two of them were forced to stop the car one kilometer away from the river, and frowned slightly at the countless cars parked in front of them.
"Why are there so many people?" Xing Zhao looked out the window at the crowded car.
"Have you ever gone out during holidays?" Wei Ge did not answer Xing Zhao's question, but asked Xing Zhao a question in return.
"Yes, I went to a holiday resort with my friends."
Before, Ji Zeyu often invited him to his own villa to camp during holidays, and have barbecues and play cards with people he didn't know well.
Boring.
“…”
I have indeed never seen such a scene. During holidays, Wei Ge usually squeezes into tourist attractions. People in the attractions are sweating profusely, and my body feels sticky when I rub against others.
Wei Ge doesn't like this feeling, but Wei Ge likes to join in the fun.
I always feel like I should take part in this fireworks show.
"There are indeed a lot of people. It would be nice if we could see the fireworks without the crowd." Wei Ge sighed as he looked at the crowd in the distance who were still pushing forward and seemed to be stuck.
"Where is the location for the fireworks?" Xing Zhao turned to look at Wei Ge.
Wei Ge used his cell phone to find the location of the fireworks show, which was on a huge stage in the river. He handed the map to Xing Zhao, who glanced at it and then looked up at the route they were originally planning to take.
“This doesn’t seem like the best place to watch a movie.”
Although this is by the river, it is still a bit out of the way if fireworks are set off right in the middle of the stage.
"It seems so. Someone online said that there's a mountain forest on one side of the stage and a royal villa on the other. No one knows who lives there. Someone wanted to go in to watch the fireworks display, but couldn't even find the way up the mountain. Maybe it's just some urban legend."
Xing Zhao was stunned. He took Wei Ge's phone and enlarged the map to see the so-called royal villa he mentioned.
It was an idle villa he had invested in before. Due to its inconvenient location, he almost never visited it after buying it.
It was normal that those people couldn't find the way up the mountain. The road was very winding, and no one had ever reached the villa using map navigation.
There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road.
Once one person falls into a ditch while driving a car using a navigation system, everyone who drives along this route using a navigation system from then on will fall into the ditch.
On the contrary, if no one has been to the villa, the navigation will not show the way to the villa.
Artificial intelligence.
Xing Zhao suddenly started the car and backed up. Fortunately, their car didn't go too deep into the tunnel, so they could still back out.
"Is there too many people? It's really time to go home." Wei Ge said, but his voice and expression could not hide the regret for the cancellation of the trip.
"I'm not going home." Xing Zhao looked at Wei Ge, "I'll take you to the best movie-watching spot."
Wei Ge was stunned. The navigation on his phone had been turned off by Xing Zhao.
Xing Zhao is very familiar with the road. Even if he has been to a place only once, he can still reach it without going through many detours using navigation.
After passing through countless forks in the road, a huge villa appeared in front of Wei Ge. It looked like an ancient castle in a fairy tale, or a royal garden in Europe.
But this time Wei Ge didn't say much.
If it were in the past, Wei Ge would have foolishly asked where this was.
Wei Ge didn't ask anymore, because Xing Zhao was the president of ARKI. Even if he summoned a helicopter in front of him, Wei Ge would think it was reasonable.
After finishing his exam today, he used his phone to search on his way out to find out how much the president of ARKI had.
I don’t know how many billions.
In short, Wei Ge and his family can live a life of eating, drinking and having fun for several lifetimes.
I will never read those posts about how “rich people may also be unhappy” again.
The rich are so happy. They can go to their own royal villa to watch the fireworks show.
The car stopped at the gate of the villa, which had a wall about two meters high and a gate nearly two meters high.
Wei Ge sat in the passenger seat, quietly waiting for Xing Zhao to conjure up a smart door lock and open the door, or for two security guards to suddenly come out and say, "Welcome home, sir."
But nothing happened. About five seconds later, Wei Ge heard Xing Zhao speak.
"Can you pick locks?"
"ah?"
Wei Ge turned and looked at Xing Zhao.
There is something wrong with opening it.
This is not Xing Zhao’s villa...it’s pure theft.
Xing Zhao was halfway through his walk when he realized that he didn't bring the key to the villa's front door. However, there was nothing in the villa, and naturally there were no smart security or alarm facilities.
The lock is also an old one that can be opened easily by prying it open.
"I will...but I don't really want to watch the fireworks display..."
When Wei Ge was a child, he often didn't bring his house keys. When he squatted at the door waiting for Wei Mingzhe and Jiang Lin to come back, he would use wire to pick the lock.
By the end, you don't even need to carry the key.
I directly learned a special skill that is essential for being in police station.
Later, Wei Mingzhe and Jiang Lin found out and criticized him severely. The two of them then replaced the door locks of their home with fingerprint recognition locks.
"That's all I need to know. When the police come, just say it was me." Xing Zhao turned to look at Wei Ge. "Besides, there's no surveillance on this road. If someone hadn't called the police, they wouldn't have noticed it."
I didn't realize Uncle Xing still has such a rebellious personality.
It seems quite exciting.
Xing Zhao found a piece of wire from somewhere and handed it to Wei Ge. Wei Ge jumped out of the car and walked to the gate.
The door lock was a very old-fashioned one, even easier to open than the one Wei Ge had owned before.
Click.
The lock core turned and Xing Zhao's voice sounded from behind.
"I didn't expect you to have such a skill."
I don't know why, but I always feel that it is not a good thing to say, but when it comes from Xing Zhao's mouth, I know clearly that the other party does not mean to scold me.
"It happened."
Wei Ge couldn't say that he had practiced prying doors open countless times.
Although Wei Ge didn't say it, it doesn't mean Xing Zhao didn't know.
Xing Zhao had known for a long time that Wei Ge would break into the house, otherwise he would not have turned back the same way when he found out that he didn't have his key.
Or maybe it wasn't just Xing Zhao, almost all the students in the laboratory knew that Senior Brother Wei's son was disobedient. He went out without bringing his keys every day and used wire to pry the door open when he came home.
Going home feels like a thief.
The gate creaked open, giving the impression of being in disrepair. The grass in the yard was withered, and it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Wei Ge felt that this villa should not belong to Xing Zhao. A person who loves cleanliness like Xing Zhao probably cannot accept that his house is so messy.
Indeed, at this moment, Xing Zhao frowned and began to reflect on why the villa he bought was left idle and turned into a wasteland. No wonder there were some urban legends about the villa on the Internet.
Behind the urban legend of idle and deserted villas, it may be that the capitalists have too much money and too many houses, so they completely forgot that there is a villa here, so no one takes care of it and it has been abandoned to this day.
There is no way to live here.
The two walked over the weeds towards the villa. Jiang was on the other side of the villa. The best viewing point should be on the villa's rooftop or balcony courtyard.
Wei Ge originally wanted to use wire to pry open the door of the villa, but found that the villa had a fingerprint lock.
"Uncle Xing, this door can't be pried open."
Xing Zhao glanced at the fingerprint lock in front of him, then turned to Wei Ge and asked, "Do you have a card?"
Wei Ge nodded and took out his ID card. He had an exam today and happened to have it with him.
Xing Zhao stuffed the card into the crack of the door, turned his head and looked at Wei Ge, who was staring at Xing Zhao.
Xing Zhao froze, "Use your phone to shine a light on me."
Wei Ge nodded, and just as he picked up his phone to turn on the flashlight, the door opened with a click.
"No."
Xing Zhaoyun was calm and composed, as if he had just accomplished something important, but in fact he just secretly pressed his fingerprints.
It's the ultimate pretense.
There was a sudden flash of light outside the window.
The sound of huge fireworks rang out, and Wei Ge ran through the huge living room towards the yard. Fireworks bloomed above Wei Ge's head, and the dark crowd on the opposite river bank was looming in the light and darkness of the fireworks.
Xing Zhao's footsteps came from behind. Wei Ge turned around and saw Xing Zhao holding two bottles of mineral water in his hands.
"Did you drink someone else's food?" Wei Ge subconsciously glanced at the hall. The whole villa was well decorated, but it looked like a rough shell. There were two boxes of water in the middle of the villa, which was the one Xing Zhao was holding.
It looks very valuable, and feels like something only rich people can afford.
"It's not expired, right?" Wei Ge's first reaction was that the villa had been abandoned for so long, and the water was probably not drinkable.
"No, I just checked." He took this water out of the car when he came last time. It was half a year ago, so it would take at least half a year to expire.
Wei Ge nodded and leaned on the railing to drink water. The villa was facing the river and there was a mountain opposite. It could be said that it was surrounded by mountains and water.
The night wind blew in from the riverside. The weather was already very hot, but it seemed very cool here.
Besides, there are performances almost every night on the stage in the middle of the river, so this location is considered the best viewing spot.
“People who live here must be very happy.”
"Why? You like it here?"
"Well, the breeze is very comfortable. I can put an easel here and paint here during the day, and then have a barbecue on the rooftop upstairs at night."
Wei Ge smiled at Xing Zhao, "It feels like a paradise."
"Okay." Xing Zhao looked at Wei Ge and nodded, silently noting down Wei Ge's request.
"Hmm?" Wei Ge was puzzled and turned his head to look at Xing Zhao in front of him.
"I said, the fireworks show was great, everything was good today." Xing Zhao murmured, turned around and put his hands on the railing in front of him, watching the fireworks blooming in the sky.
The fireworks seemed very close to them, yet very far away.
This is the largest fireworks show in Lushui in recent years. It is said to be to celebrate the anniversary of the naming of the river in front.
All unique moments are worth celebrating.
Wei Ge closed his eyes and clasped his fingers together.
"Do you want to make a wish?" Xing Zhao looked at Wei Ge.
Wei Ge nodded. "It seems that if you make a wish towards the fireworks, it will come true."
"It seems to be true," Xing Zhao agreed, even though he had never heard of such a statement. He added, "But the version I saw is that when making a wish towards fireworks, the wish must be spoken out loud for it to be effective."
If Xing Zhao could hear Wei Ge's wish, he could help him realize it.
In this way, it doesn’t matter whether this statement is true or false, as long as Wei Ge’s wish comes true.
Wei Ge was stunned, but still obeyed obediently.
"I hope that my parents, Uncle Xing and I can live a healthy and happy life." Wei Ge spoke with his eyes closed, and fireworks bloomed in an instant, lighting up Xing Zhao's eyes.
