In the northern suburbs of Xingwu City, 100 kilometers away from the main city, there was a mansion that looked like a small satellite city located on a small hill. This was not the headquarters of Chuangyu, but the private residence of the Guan family.
Ding Meng and Lan Bing were people who had seen many luxurious mansions, but they had never seen a mansion of such a scale. This was because it covered an area of at least 100,000 square meters, and there were all kinds of buildings in it. There was a fairytale-like castle, a stacked hotel that looked like a spaceship, an antique villa area, and a spherical building that looked extremely modern … There was a wide variety of things, and it was hard to imagine that this was a private residence.
Xin Jie had obviously done his homework in advance. According to the information he provided to Ding Meng, the leader of Chuangyu, Guan Xinqing, was the real richest man in the Norse Empire. He had a total of nine children, and it could be said that he had a lot of children and grandchildren.
Guan Xinqing's marriage was also quite rare in the Empire. The first wife he married when he was young was his business partner, and she gave birth to five sons for him. Unfortunately, his first wife died from a strange poison, and he did not continue to marry her for 12 years.
It was not until Chuangyu entered a rapid development that he married his second wife. This woman was called Long Lin, and she was the daughter of a big shot in the military. It could be seen that his second marriage was completely based on the needs of the company's development, and there was not much emotional factor in it.
Long Lin was Guan Lin's mother, and she only had one daughter, Guan Lin. Other than the different surnames, their names were exactly the same. It could be seen that Long Lin doted on Guan Lin very much.
Long Lin's father was a four-star general of the Empire. With this relationship, Chuangyu was able to obtain a large number of orders from the military. Unfortunately, not long after Guan Lin was born, this high-ranking general passed away, and the Long family immediately fell.
Originally, many people thought that Chuangyu would decline, but they did not expect that Chuangyu would become even more prosperous. It had to be said that Guan Xinqing was quite capable, but there were rumors that Long Lin's marriage with him seemed to be divided.
Guan Xinqing's third wife, who was also his current wife, was called Xin Zhiyao. She was a very famous supermodel in the Empire. After marriage, she had two sons and a daughter. She was the one who appeared in public in Chuangyu, and was equivalent to the official wife of the Guan.
Guan Xinqing's marriage was very special in the Empire, but no one had any objections because Chuangyu was too rich. When wealth accumulated to a certain extent, it could also change qualitatively.
Although the Guan family was not directly active in the political arena, they had a great influence in the political arena. Like the Apocalypse Group, they could even influence the election of the head of state. Especially in the Parliament, the Guan family had a decisive voice and was the real behind-the-scenes financier. Because the Parliament had the right to take military action and make decisions, the Guan family happened to have common interests with the military.
Ancestral Gragon did not have access to Guan Xinqing's level. It was Sophie who pulled the strings. Three years ago, she met Xin Zhiyao's eldest son, Guan Yi, and was able to enter the eyes of the Guan family.
Xin Zhiyao's three children were the same as the children of the Iron Mane Empire's royal family. They were ignorant and idle all day long and pursued a life of pleasure. Guan Xinqing's other children were completely different. They jointly managed the affairs of Chuangyu.
The Guan family was the real top noble family in the Empire, but they were relatively special because they rarely dealt with other groups.
Today was Guan Xinqing's fifth son, Guan Mingxi's one-month-old son. The Guan family held a small one-month-old banquet to celebrate. Although it was called a small banquet, the lineup was enough to scare people.
Not to mention other things, there were at least 56 luxury cars of various sizes on the tarmac in the distance. They were all famous cars worth more than 10 million yuan. Those who were able to attend the one-month-old banquet were definitely high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and they had to be people who had deep connections with the Guan family.
Among these dazzling luxury cars, Ding Meng even saw a few flying cars with military insignia. These cars were not expensive, but they were silently and neatly lined up in a row. They had a low-key aura, and no one dared to look down on them.
As soon as Ding Meng's Bluebird stopped, a waiter in a suit came to greet them. "Mr. Zu, Mrs. Zu, please come in!"
Ding Meng had attended many similar events. Lan Bing secretly sent a telepathic message to him. "Don't cause trouble."
Ding Meng laughed. "Don't worry. Even if someone rides on my head and pees on me, I will endure it."
The waiter led the two of them into the spaceship-style hotel. The lobby on the first floor was also designed in the style of Flowing Light Crystal. It was very clean and simple. There were quite a lot of people inside, men and women in suits. They were all in groups of three to five, each holding a goblet with a smile as they chatted in a friendly manner.
Ding Meng and Lan Bing's seats were arranged in a corner of the western garden. This small booth was enough to show that Ancestral Gragon's status was not high.
After Ding Meng sat down, the waiter said politely, "Mr. Zu, Young Master Yi is still receiving other guests. He specifically said that you and Mrs. Zu must wait for him when you arrive."
Ding Meng nodded like an old man. "Alright, thank you."
Once the waiter left, Ding Meng turned his head and asked, "Ah Sheng, have you prepared the gifts?"
Yuan Sheng lowered his head and said, "Chief Zu, I've prepared everything according to your instructions. I will register Young Master Guan Ming's gift in the reception room later. Young Master Yi's personal gift is with me."
Ding Meng said, "Alright, give it to me. You can go back to your work!"
With Ancestral Gragon's status, he couldn't keep a bodyguard by his side for a long time. Therefore, when Yuan Sheng left, Lan Bing couldn't help but ask, "You still want to give a gift alone?"
Ding Meng sighed and said, "This is Brother Jie's ability. How can I find out such a secret?"
Lan Bing's interest was piqued. "It seems that your personal gift is quite mysterious."
At this moment, a young man dressed in bright clothes and branded clothes parted the crowd and walked over excitedly. "Brother Zu, you're finally here."
Ding Meng smiled. "Young Master Yi, long time no see!"
Guan Yi glanced at Lan Bing. "Ah, sister-in-law is here too. Welcome!"
Lan Bing nodded symbolically. She didn't have a good impression of this Guan Yi. This person had a greasy hair and a powdered face. A man like him even had a layer of powder on his face. After carefully sensing him, this person was completely hollowed out by alcohol and women. He even had a slight drug addiction.
As soon as he saw Ancestral Gragon and his wife, Guan Yi's expression immediately became interesting. He blinked and smiled at Ding Meng. "Brother, did you get the thing I asked you to get last time?"
Ding Meng laughed and took out a small delicate handbag from his pocket. "Brother, I've always treated your matter as a top priority. Look, didn't I get it?"
Guan Yi looked down and his eyes suddenly flashed, like a drug addict seeing poison. His expression was really interesting. He gave Ding Meng a big hug. "Brother, you're awesome. You're really awesome. I admire you. Let's go upstairs and have a drink. Sister-in-law, come with us!"
Looking at his happy face, Lan Bing suddenly understood that the gift in the bag was Ancestral Gragon's stepping stone. The reason was very simple. The hall on this floor was filled with ordinary guests. Except for the waiters, no one from the Guan family could be seen. It was estimated that the real manager could only be seen on the upper floors.
Lan Bing was really curious. "What is this personal gift?
Why didn't Brother Jie give me this information? "
Ding Meng swaggered in front. "It's better if you don't know!"
"Why?"
Ding Meng said, "This gift is really shameful."
The more he explained, the more curious Lan Bing was. "What is it?"
Ding Meng said casually, "If I tell you, Brother Jie will hide it from you. It must be for your own good."
Lan Bing was annoyed. "If you don't tell me, we'll sleep in separate rooms every day for half a year!"
"You …" Ding Meng was speechless. "Is it okay to take away such a big benefit for no reason?"
"Well, are you sure you want to know?" Ding Meng asked.
"Nonsense!" Lan Bing was a little angry. "You have to keep it a secret from your wife. Where's your shame?"
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "There are 100 women's upholstery in the bag."
Lan Bing was not surprised by these strange things. "What's there to keep it a secret?"
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped even more. "Those are not ordinary upholstery. Ancestral Gragon spent a lot of effort to get it."
Lan Bing said, "Is it the original flavor that you men like?"
"Damn, you know a lot of things." Ding Meng said, "This is only one of the conditions. The other conditions are very strict. It must be used by 100 different women. The age requirement is that it must be a virgin under 20 years old. The most difficult condition is that it must be used by you women on inconvenient days every month. Are you satisfied now?"
Even though Lan Bing had always been knowledgeable, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded. With Guan Yi's status as the Sixth Young Master of the Guan Family, what kind of woman couldn't he get? He actually had such a strange hobby. Lan Bing felt nauseous.
Ancestral Gragon was really a bad guy. He actually found these things to cater to Guan Yi's taste.
Seeing Lan Bing's angry face, Ding Meng's bad taste came out. "Lil Bing, I'll collect all the things you use in the future."
"How dare you!"
Lan Bing was furious. "If you do this kind of thing, I will definitely kill you. You don't learn anything good. You learn these dirty things …"
While she was still angry, Ding Meng had already swaggered upstairs.
The second floor was indeed a more high-end and exquisite reception room. The crystal glass in the hall emitted a pure white light, giving people a feeling of being in the clouds. The entire reception room was a regular hexagon. Different groups of people were standing or sitting in each area. On the highest and most magnificent table in the northernmost area, there were three to five men with extraordinary temperament talking in low voices.
As soon as Ding Meng came in, his eyes were immediately attracted by this group of people. He almost recognized Guan Xinqing at a glance.
