Chapter 229: Foolproof?
The Huguangshanshe Club is said to be located in the southern suburbs of Binhai, but the distance is really far.
Yu Zhiming, along with a group of women soldiers including Yu Xiangwan, Fu Xiaoxue, Gu Qingning and Zeng Yan, set out before seven in the morning and drove for more than two hours before arriving at the southern mountainous area, which is known as the oxygen chamber and is covered with lush greenery.
When Yu Zhiming took a look at the navigation map, he was shocked to find that they were almost in the neighboring Zhejiang Province.
Yu Zhiming drove along a flat asphalt road that was wide enough for two cars to pass each other for ten to twenty minutes in the shade of trees. Finally, at a fork in the road to the left, he saw a marble archway with the words "Huguangshanshe" written on it.
They turned directly into a fork in the road and walked for more than ten minutes before encountering a gatekeeper blocking the road. After verifying their identities, Yu Zhiming and his group were allowed to enter.
After driving for another minute or two, Yu Zhiming drove around the mountain pass and suddenly saw a new world after a dark tunnel, with a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
An extremely beautiful landscape painting comes into view.
What appeared before Yu Zhiming and his companions was a vast open valley covering at least several thousand acres.
A small half of the valley is covered by a sparkling lake, while the larger half is covered by green meadows.
There are several silver-white boats wandering on the lake.
On the other side of the lake, there is a large complex of beautifully shaped, undulating buildings.
On the hill behind the building complex, you can vaguely see a dozen villas of different styles, scattered along the hillside.
On the hillside covered with trees, in addition to the majority of green, there are also small patches of red, purple, brown, yellow, etc. dotted among them, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Wow, so beautiful..."
"Oh, it's so beautiful."
"It's so pleasing to the eyes, I really came at the right time!"
The visually impactful scenery made Yu Xiangwan, Fu Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan in the car exclaim in amazement one after another.
Fu Xiaoxue was amazed and puzzled, "How come I haven't heard of such a beautiful place in Binhai?"
Gu Qingning explained with a smile: "This is a private membership club. Ordinary people can't come here."
"The owner of this place doesn't want this place to become an internet celebrity attraction, attracting a large number of ordinary people and disturbing the peace here."
Fu Xiaoxue curled her lips and said, "Such a beautiful place is enclosed and only for the rich to enjoy."
“I really realized the power of money.”
Zeng Yan interrupted, “He should still have power.”
"Enclosing such a large and beautiful valley requires more than just money."
Gu Qingning explained: "As far as I know, it's not as complicated as you two little guys think."
"This mountainous area is for personal use, reportedly due to historical reasons."
She further explained: "It is said that there was an industrial tycoon who generously donated a large amount of supplies during the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation."
“Soon after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, that person was wrongly criticized, and a large number of enterprises were nationalized.”
"Later, they were rehabilitated. The family didn't ask for any other compensation, but only for this valley..."
Amid their chatter, Yu Zhiming drove slowly, enjoying the scenery with a relaxed and happy mood.
They walked along the lakeside road and came to the other side of the lake, only to find that there was a large stretch of silver sand beach there.
There is also a large artificial swimming pool.
There were a dozen handsome men and beautiful women in swimsuits playing in the swimming pool.
Gu Qingning then introduced: "The sand here is all sea sand, which was transported from the southern coast with great effort."
"We can come here to swim and sunbathe, and it's almost like being at the beach."
Fu Xiaoxue pouted a little disappointedly and said, "But we didn't bring our swimsuits."
"Sister Qing Ning, you should have reminded us earlier."
Gu Qingning smiled awkwardly and said, "That, I forgot for a moment. But they have many styles of swimsuits to offer."
Yu Xiangwan interjected, "It won't be very expensive, will it? Didn't Lao Wu say that everything here is ridiculously expensive?"
Yu Zhiming said proudly, "A swimsuit, with just that little bit of fabric, how much can it be worth?"
"If you want to go swimming, just buy it!"
Yu Xiangwan really wanted to remind her silly brother that things like swimsuits and underwear, despite the small amount of fabric, can be ridiculously expensive.
However, when she saw that Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan were both excited, she stopped talking.
It would be a shame to spoil the fun of these two little guys.
Let’s see the price of the swimsuit then. Lao Wu unexpectedly made a huge sum of 200,000 yuan a few days ago, so he can afford a swimsuit that costs only one or two thousand yuan.
Hehe, pick out a brand name swimsuit for yourself...
Yu Zhiming drove to the lakeside building complex and stopped, and a beautiful woman with a melon-shaped face wearing a professional dress came to greet him.
"Doctor Yu, distinguished guests, welcome to Lakeside Lodge. I am Yan Ling, your personal butler..."
Under the guidance of Yan Ling, Yu Zhiming and his group quickly completed the check-in procedures.
Afterwards, Yan Ling drove a small sightseeing covered car that could carry six people, leading the way and heading towards the back mountain.
Yu Zhiming drove following Yan Ling's sightseeing car, climbed hundreds of meters along the mountain road, and finally stopped in front of a three-story villa with milky white exterior walls and modern architectural style.
Yu Zhiming walked into the elegantly decorated villa and went straight to the large terrace on the third floor.
Looking forward, you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire valley.
Yu Zhiming closed his eyes...
The sound of the wind, the chirping of birds, the calls of unknown insects, and the laughter of Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan...
Yu Zhiming opened his eyes, turned to look at Gu Qingning who came to his side, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's nice here, even quieter than my old home in the village. I should be able to sleep well at night."
Gu Qingning patted his chest and said with an exaggerated expression, "This is the best news I've heard today. This means we can have a good time here for a few days."
"Zhiming, this villa has five bedrooms in total, and the master bedroom is on the third floor."
"Which room do you sleep in?"
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said, "I'll sleep in the room on the first floor. It's relatively quiet there."
They took a quick tour of the villa, moved their belongings into their chosen bedrooms, washed up, and then gathered again in the living room on the first floor.
"It's a quarter past ten now. Let's take Butler Yan for a tour of the club and then go have lunch."
Yu Zhiming gave some instructions, and then they took Yan Ling's sightseeing bus down the mountain.
Yan Ling first went down the mountain road to the foot of the mountain, and then took Yu Zhiming and others into the mountain along the Chanchan stream. After walking a few hundred meters, they came to a cliff that was about twenty or thirty meters high.
There are more than a dozen streams of different sizes flowing out from the cracks in the cliff, forming a winding stream.
Yan Ling told them that this was the source of the lake in the valley, and warned them that it was very slippery and they should never climb.
There have been serious accidents.
After seeing the source of the lake, Yan Ling drove the sightseeing car and took Yu Zhiming and others back along the original route, and then drove slowly along the scenic path by the lake.
"The lake covers an area of over 260 mu, with an average water depth of three to four meters. It is home to more than a dozen species of fish, including silver carp, bighead carp, mandarin fish, bighead carp, croaker, black carp, and carp."
“You can go fishing!”
"The fish you catch can be handed over to the kitchen for processing..."
Yan Ling drove around half of the lake and arrived at a large grassland on the east side of the lake.
"This is a miniature golf course. Due to the area restrictions, it's not a standard course. It only has twelve holes."
"It's more than enough for golf practice."
Following Yan Ling's introduction, Yu Zhiming saw that on a large area of grass, there were groups of people holding golf clubs, either walking or swinging at the ball.
He casually asked, "Qing Ning, can you play golf?"
Gu Qingning, who was sitting next to Yu Zhiming, nodded and said, "I learned from a professional coach and practiced for a while."
Yu Xiangwan, who was sitting next to Yan Ling, turned around and asked, "Qing Ning, is playing golf a must-have skill for every socialite?"
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "That's not the case."
"I learned this because I thought I might have a career in business and might even be negotiating partnerships on the golf course."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but glance at her sideways when she thought of this girl's confession that her ideal type was a business elite.
Gu Qingning noticed his sidelong glance, moved closer to him, and said with a chuckle, "Zhiming, do you want to learn golf?"
"Let me teach you."
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "No. Golf is just a flashy sport to me."
"Why not go skipping stones on the lake?"
Fu Xiaoxue took over and said loudly, "Sister Qingning, let me tell you, my uncle is really good at skipping stones."
"You can skip dozens of stones at a time."
Gu Qingning laughed and said, "Really? Then I must see it for myself."
At this moment, Gu Qingning suddenly discovered that Yu Zhiming's gaze was directed at two men dozens of meters away.
She noticed that Yu Zhiming's ears moved and his face looked very gloomy.
She looked at the two men again.
One was a bald man of medium height with a protruding belly. He was wearing a light-colored sportswear and looked to be in his fifties or sixties.
The other person was wearing dark casual clothes, about 1.8 meters tall, looked to be in his thirties or forties, and had a crew cut.
The bald man with a pot belly was leaning on a golf club and talking quietly with the man with a crew cut next to him.
Being so far away from them, it was impossible for Gu Qingning to hear the two people talking.
Maybe Zhiming can hear it?
She moved closer to Yu Zhiming and asked mysteriously, "Zhiming, did you hear some incredible secret?"
Yu Zhiming retracted his gaze, turned around and glared at her.
"How can I hear it from such a distance?"
"Do you know them?"
Gu Qingning shook her head and said, "I don't know him."
"But the people who come here are all of status and position, so it's easy to find out."
Gu Qingning pointed at Yan Ling who was driving the sightseeing car.
Yu Zhiming shook his head.
He took out his cell phone, pretended to take pictures of the scenery, adjusted the focus, and took a few close-ups of the two people.
Yu Zhiming did hear an incredible secret.
First, the words "We must ensure that everything is foolproof" came with the wind and caught his attention.
After listening carefully, Yu Zhiming heard another sentence.
"Diving is a very risky sport..."
