"You guys go ahead and have fun on Guanhai Street!" "I’ll come find you in a bit!" Su Xuan answered the call, speaking softly to the person on the other end. His new house was at No. 88 Guanhai Street, so it would be convenient to head home after the night out. Liu Yiming didn’t know who Su Xuan was talking to and asked curiously, "Su Xuan, do you have other plans later?" Su Xuan replied, "Not really. Just two friends who are a bit bored and asked me to hang out." "Then let’s all go together!" "Let’s keep the party going!" The fundraising banquet was drawing to a close, so Liu Yiming immediately made the suggestion. Changing venues might give him a chance to show off and regain some face. He couldn’t do that at the Grand Emperor Hotel, where Su Xuan had completely overshadowed him. He then sought everyone else’s opinion. Apart from a few who needed to get home to their kids, everyone seemed eager for another round of fun, hoping to build a better relationship with Su Xuan. Google seaʀᴄh 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 "Alright, let’s all go then!" With that, Su Xuan led everyone out of the Grand Emperor Hotel. Since he had been drinking, driving the Koenigsegg was out of the question, so he left it in Dongfang Hao’s care. The group split up, hailed several taxis, and headed for Guanhai Street. 「A few dozen minutes later.」 They all gathered on Guanhai Street. The street was lined with quaint buildings which, bathed in brilliant light, created a charming ambiance. Countless beautiful women in stylish clothes strolled down the street, a dazzling sight. "Guanhai Street is eight meters wide and 787 meters long. It was built during the Yuan Dynasty, making it a very ancient district," Liu Yiming began. Now that they were away from the Grand Emperor Hotel, his mood had noticeably improved. He held Chen Jingjing’s hand and surveyed the scenery, continuing his enthusiastic narration. "The surrounding alleyways are filled with mansions and courtyards of various styles, each one grand and steeped in history." "Back in the day, this street was packed with nobles and their royal manors; ordinary folks had no business being here..." He was visibly pleased when he saw his classmates listening intently, but his mood soured when he saw Su Xuan’s indifferent expression. It’s true you’re rich, Su Xuan, but that doesn’t mean you can look down on everything! he fumed internally. See those majestic, antique residences? You can’t buy them, even with all your money! No one would sell to you no matter how much you offered! The land prices here are skyrocketing; each residence is a huge treasure chest. Renting one out would fetch an astronomical sum. Simply owning one could easily ensure your descendants’ well-being and benefit future generations—a deed of immeasurable merit! If you could actually buy a house here, I’d call you Dad! I’d call you Dad every single time I saw you! "The environment is really nice!" Su Xuan, oblivious to Liu Yiming’s rambling thoughts, was simply admiring the beautiful night view of Guanhai Street. When I’m old, I could set up a stall right here in front of my house, he mused. It wouldn’t matter if I sold anything; just chatting with the passersby would be nice enough. When people get old, what they fear most is loneliness. "Let’s go to that bar to rest and enjoy the view!" Suddenly, Chen Jingjing pulled her hand away from Liu Yiming’s and pointed to a bar. "I went there last time with a good friend. It has an open-air terrace on the roof where you can see the entire street. You can also see a gorgeous residence from there. It’s really, really nice!" The bar was a quaint, two-story building. Red lanterns hung from its eaves, creating a peaceful atmosphere. So, the group entered the bar and found a table in the open-air seating area. "Look, that’s the residence!" Once seated, Chen Jingjing immediately pointed to a mansion across the street. "When my friend and I came last time, we both completely fell in love with it. It has rockeries, a pond, and even a giant panda! Can you believe it? If I could live there for just one day, I’d be willing to do anything!" Everyone quickly looked in the direction she was pointing and saw the residence. Unfortunately, only the front gate was lit. The courtyard was dark, so they couldn’t see it clearly, let alone spot a giant panda. "Jing Jing, that residence was once the mansion of a top scholar!" Liu Yiming, who had sneakily looked up the mansion on his phone, began to show off pretentiously. "It was bestowed by the emperor upon a top scholar. That scholar later rose through the ranks to the high position of Collaborating Grand Scholar. Because of this, his home became known as a place that guaranteed promotions. Many officials and nobles wished they could visit just to soak in some of its auspicious energy for their own careers. Now, however, it’s owned by a mysterious tycoon. It’s not a place ordinary people can get into!" "That makes me want to see it even more!" Chen Jingjing said, her interest piqued. She turned to Liu Yiming. "You’re always bragging about your extensive connections. Can’t you pull some strings to fulfill my wish?" "Uh..." Liu Yiming hesitated. Not wanting to seem incompetent, he didn’t give a definitive no and simply said, "That would be tough!" Chen Jingjing sighed in disappointment. The others were also disappointed. Some started eating sunflower seeds, others drank juice, and the rest chatted amongst themselves. "Su Xuan, do you know that mysterious tycoon?" Chen Jingjing suddenly asked him seriously. "You’re Lycar’s boss; you must know a lot of high-society people, right? Maybe you even know that mysterious tycoon!" "What did you just say?" Su Xuan, who was busy with a WeChat conversation on his phone, looked up blankly. Chen Jingjing said, "The mansion. We all want to see inside it, especially the giant panda. Can you help us out?" "Sure," Su Xuan said. Liu Yiming leaped to his feet, spitting out the sunflower seed he had just popped into his mouth. Has this guy gotten addicted to showing off? Chen Jingjing makes one impulsive suggestion, and you just say yes? Do you think you own the place? If you can really pull this off, I’ll jump off this building right now! If I die, I won’t blame you. If I live, I’ll call you Grandpa! "We want to see it now. Is that okay?" Chen Jingjing asked, ignoring Liu Yiming’s theatrics and gazing at Su Xuan, her eyes shimmering with anticipation. Su Xuan tapped his phone a few times and sent a message. A few seconds later, lights began to switch on one by one inside the mansion, illuminating it brightly! The breathtakingly beautiful scenery of the courtyard was revealed to them in its entirety! A plump giant panda was ambling around on the courtyard grass! An old, white-haired butler opened the main gate, walked into the courtyard, and gazed toward the bar before bowing respectfully in their direction. "He just sent a message, and the whole mansion lit up!" "That old man is even bowing toward us..." This all felt so surreal. Chen Jingjing and her classmates stood up, their faces etched in shock! They all stared, captivated, at the brilliantly lit mansion, their voices filled with sincere admiration. Liu Yiming took several sharp breaths and muttered to himself. Dad Su Xuan... oh, no, Grandpa Su! You’re really something else! Damn, I’m truly impressed! Just then, Su Xuan’s phone rang. As soon as he answered, his expression changed. A girl’s soft, urgent voice came from the phone. "We’ve run into bad guys..."
