Chapter 336 Delin Manor



"Alright! Our third group is back too! Of course, our victory or defeat will not only depend on the speed of completing this task, but also on the accuracy of the task."

As they spoke, the three groups handed over what they had found during the mission to the directing team.

As professional wilderness survival instructors, their accuracy rate is naturally higher, but Qi Jiu's group is not bad either; both of them passed the test.

In the end, Lulu's group took the longest but had the lowest accuracy rate, so they naturally ranked last.

The production team couldn't let the celebrities risk their lives to go through the jungle just for the sake of a variety show. Subsequently, Qi Jiu and her coach both received commemorative gold medals prepared by the production team.

Why does Lulu seem a little resentful?

[What's there to be upset about? Putting aside the coach's group, just looking at Qi Jiu's group's explanations, I knew Lulu was definitely going to lose today. That guy, Qi Jiu is like an encyclopedia.]

Seriously, watching Qiqi's commentary just now, I thought I was watching a documentary! This is an outdoor variety show! Help! Being a celebrity these days isn't easy!

The show has ended. Although Qi Jiu was only a guest on one episode, her performance was quite unexpected, and the show became a hit as predicted.

Shen Family Manor.

Lanterns hung high, and festive Chinese knots and the character "喜" (happiness) were everywhere. As snowflakes fell, Qi Jiu welcomed her first New Year in China. Joyful sounds filled the air, both inside and outside the home, and this winter, every household was adorned in red.

The family was all together in high spirits, watching TV programs and eating New Year's Eve dinner together.

This is the first time the girl has ever spent the Lunar New Year with her family since she can remember.

Happy times always fly by. At the dinner table, Liu Li and Shen Ting looked at her with heartache on their faces.

"The year isn't even over yet, and you're already leaving? You're not that old, but you're living such a tiring life."

Qi Jiu nodded. "It's alright. I've also felt the rewards of my hard work. There's a slight problem with Xingyue. As the representative of China, I need to go to headquarters to resolve it."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Cimo, and sure enough, his gaze was also on her.

Although no words were spoken, the other person seemed to understand something, chuckled softly, and subconsciously began to speak up for her.

"Mom and Dad, Qiqi's status is now even more impressive than mine. As one of the top multinational corporations in the world, Xingyue is naturally busier."

"But……"

Liu Li and Chen Ting naturally understood these principles, but they were still somewhat reluctant to part with her.

On this day, a cold wind howled.

On the other side of the world, on a continent, the manor is enormous, but it has become somewhat dilapidated over time, and there is little trace of human life inside. Although magnificent, it exudes an air of loneliness.

Qi Jiu looked at the enormous manor in front of her, her face showing little emotion.

"Sis, we spotted Zero's people along the way, but thankfully we've taken them all out. However, their actions might become more aggressive afterward because they're trying to find out your whereabouts."

This time, Lin Yan was no longer the carefree and irresponsible person he used to be. He was dressed formally, and his gaze towards the girl was very serious.

"It's alright. If Zero dares to come, I won't hold back either."

Although they are all members of the Delin family, after so much time has passed and lives have been lost, the blood ties can be disregarded.

Moreover, it seems that her biological parents were also affected by this incident.

Lin Yan nodded and stopped talking. He looked at the girl standing at the entrance of the manor but not going in for a long time, without urging her.

After an unknown amount of time, a sigh was heard, and Qi Jiu finally moved.

She slowly made her way to the manor, her movements unhurried and deliberate.

Although the Delin family is slowly declining, its current status and scale are still unmatched by ordinary families in the world.

Although some parts of the manor in front of us are a bit old, it still looks quite prosperous.

It's hard to imagine how prosperous the Delin family must have been at its peak.

"Stop! Who are you? You can't go any further!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out. Turning around, they saw the guards at the manor gate holding weapons, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

Seeing this, the girl was not afraid and just looked at him.

"If you want the Delin family to survive in the world, go and inform the head of your Delin family that a distinguished guest has arrived."

If she were to reveal that she was the heir, these two would probably think she was crazy.

I don't know why, but even though I was forced to accept this identity, I really don't have any good feelings towards the Delin family now.

The guard was taken aback, never expecting her to say such a thing. However, he dared not act rashly regarding the Delin family, so he gave another guard a look and then looked away.

"Miss, please wait at the door until we receive further notice."

Qi Jiu nodded and stopped talking, but Lin Yan, standing next to him, found his attitude somewhat incomprehensible.

"Sister, even after you've said all that, they're still reacting like this. Does the Delin family not want to survive anymore? They were already at this point, and yet..."

Unexpectedly, the girl merely glanced at him and spoke slowly.

"If you were the current head of the Delin family, and suddenly an unidentified young girl appeared claiming to be a distinguished guest of the Delin family, would you let me in or kick me out?"

Lin Yan: "..."

This metaphor is very vivid.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Jiu just smiled.

In truth, families that have reached their current status inevitably tend to become somewhat arrogant, having grown accustomed to their position. The disparity in their social standing has made them forget how they came to be.

Meanwhile, inside the main building of the manor, a group of people, both men and women, were gathered together, talking about something that seemed rather unusual.

Suddenly, the phone rang. A middle-aged man who looked to be about the same age as Shen Ting, dressed in an expensive suit and vest, answered the phone with great poise.

Something said on the phone made his expression change instantly.

"I understand, I'll go check right away. Tell that girl not to leave yet."

"Uncle?"

After hanging up the phone, a man on the sofa next to him looked at him and suddenly spoke.

The man was dressed in casual clothes, his hair styled in a side part, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses. He had a clean and fair complexion, and his handsome face exuded a refined and scholarly air.
