Chapter 589 I Indeed Didn’t Steal Your Bullet!
They go downstairs and see Tian Hailu, Tian Qiushuang, and Hongyu are all there, asking them what happened. It turns out that their explanation is the same as that of Li Yong. Then they go to the riverside grove with curiosity, only to see many police officers gather there and that Wei Fangxia is among them.
Being blocked outside and failing to see the situation inside, they can only watch with the on-lookers.
Upon seeing them, Wei Fangxia takes them inside by taking advantage of her status privilege. Inside, they see a large-sized crater out of the explosion covering a ten-meter radius and dark gray burning traces surrounding it.
Moreover, on the side, charred and blackened human bones are placed disorderly.
Seeing this, they are overwhelmingly shocked, looking pale.
They find this place extremely unsafe. If the explosion had taken place somewhere closer to their villa, they, who were sleeping soundly back then, might have been killed in their dream.
After returning home, they haven’t yet gotten over the shock.
At this time, Li Yong, who has gotten dressed, is in the living room downstairs. Seeing that they come back with sullen looks, he greets them with a smile and asks lightly, “Honey, what did you see?”
Sighing lightly, Han Lu sits listlessly on the sofa and mutters, “We can’t live here anymore. We have to buy a better house with modern equipment and 24/7 surveillance from all angles without any hindrance.”
“Yes! It will be best if the mansion is like Ms. He’s covering an area of more than ten mu.” Li Yong laughs.
“It is said that the situation abroad is chaotic. The way I see it, the situation in Huaxia is more chaotic. Brother-in-law, think about it! The explosive is as powerful as a missile. If it had blown up next to our villa, we would have died last night. It’s indeed too dangerous. Fortunately, I’m going to Nihon by flight this afternoon. I won’t be at ease if I continue to stay here!” Han Fei feels blessed in her heart.
“Humph! The situation in Nihon is more chaotic.” Han Lu reminds her before sighing, “It is true that everything in life is so unpredictable. So we all have to enjoy our lives, love each other, and take care of each other well. Yong, I love you.”
Seeing that Han Lu reveals an affectionate look, Li Yong is somewhat unaccustomed to it. Smiling happily and scratching his hair, he looks shy and asks with a smile, “What do you love me about?”
“For no reason.” With her pretty face turning red, Han Lu glares at Li Yong.
Li Yong goes forward to hug Han Lu in his arms and whispers in her ear, “Hearing your words, I am so excited. How can you do this to me?”
Han Lu’s eyes yet turn red. Only then does she realize that she never told Li Yong that she loved him before. Seeing quite a few people in the living room, she hurriedly pushes Li Yong away and tries hard to hold back the tears at the corners of her eyes.
“Lu.” Feeling that Han Lu is too sentimental, Han Fei goes over and hugs her tightly, “Maybe it’s a meteorite, okay? Maybe it’s a natural disaster rather than a man-made one.”
In the face of natural disasters, everyone has a sense of powerlessness. Even Li Yong feels that fate is not within his control.
Li Yong, who knows that it isn’t a meteorite, remains overwhelmingly calm.
At this time, Wei Fangxia, who has been busy all night and is slightly tired, slowly walks into the living room and makes an announcement loudly.
“Everyone, please don’t panic. The explosion last night was an accident. According to the info we got, the military region in the East Sea conducted a live drill and accidentally missed a shell that exploded right here. Unfortunately, it killed someone taking a walk late at night. After finding out who the deceased is, the military district side will offer the corresponding compensation.”
“Regarding the nearby villas and various buildings damaged by the explosion, the military region side will also compensate relative parties according to the current price on the market. Yong, check whether anything at your house is damaged. Someone will come to your door later to gather the info and submit it to the upper level.”
Li Yong waves his hand, “Regarding the damage done to my house, forget it. We don’t need any compensation.”
Han Lu keeps guessing, “Oh my God. It turns out to be an artillery shell! If it had exploded in someone’s home, wouldn’t the ones living there have died unjustly? Luckily, it landed in the grove. If it had landed in an urban shopping mall, wouldn’t it have been…” The further she guesses, the more nervous she is. And she continues her speculation. After realizing that she can’t go on like this, she has to cover her mouth.
“The most fortunate thing is that it didn’t land in our house.” Feeling blessed in her heart, Han Fei smiles merrily.
Han Lu asks, “So do we have to buy a new house?” Feeling that it is impossible that the shell on the military’s side will fall here once again, Han Lu deems this house safe. After replacing the broken glass with the new ones, they can continue to live there.
“Yes.” Li Yong immediately makes a decision, “Let’s buy a big mansion with a quiet environment like Ms. He’s.”
Han Lu says after deliberation, “A house like that is going to cost us a lot of money.”
“If you don’t have enough money, ask me for some. By making a trip to Country M this time, I can recover at least 15 billion yuan.” Li Yong is confident. He aims for more than 15 billion yuan in his mind. He wants to ask Zhu Shilei to pay the interest back as well.
“All right! I’ll check and see if there is a suitable house.” Han Lu faintly promises.
Li Yong proposes, “Let’s find one in the area where lies Ms. He’s house. There are several other big mansions. If someone’s mansion is for sale, let’s buy it.” He once saw that on both sides of He Xiaosheng’s house, there lie mansions covering an area of over ten mu.
Li Yong wonders who living in such a large mansion is. With a glance at the exteriors, he envies the owners so much.
“I will ask Ms. He about this when I have time.” After deliberation, Han Lu makes a final decision.
“Why do you have to wait until you have time? Why not ask her now? I will call her and ask her now.” After saying that, Li Yong takes out his cell phone, looks through He Xiaosheng’s phone number, and calls her.
“Speaking of this kind of thing, it is not appropriate to ask her about it over the phone!” Han Lu thinks they’d better visit He Xiaosheng and ask her in person.
Li Yong responds with a smile, “How come it is inappropriate? Let me ask her first.” In his impression, He Xiaosheng is quite approachable. If she can help them with such a petty matter, she surely will help them.
It is 6 a.m. He Xiaosheng hasn’t gotten up.
Hearing her cell phone ringing, He Xiaosheng, who sleeps on, thinks it is an alarm clock. Intending to turn it off, she sees Li Yong’s name instead.
Feeling energized instantly, He Xiaosheng suddenly sits up and joyfully answers the call.
“Ms. He, this is Yong speaking. Let me ask you a question. Is there any house nearby your home for sale? I want to buy one. I want a large one covering an area of over ten mu. My house got blown up. I want to buy a new home…”
Li Yong chats with He Xiaosheng for over ten minutes, briefly introducing the situation on his side to her. According to He Xiaosheng, it happens that a family on the left side of her house is going to immigrate to Country D and that they happen to intend to sell the mansion.
With an area of over twenty mu, the mansion was built in the Republic of China era. Through expansion and renovation later, it is constructed into two modern European-style villas at the front and at the back respectively. With four stories, the villas are of column-structure.
With a large gross floor area and great afforestation, this mansion is at a quite high price, that is, six hundred million yuan.
Hearing that there is a mansion for sale, Li Yong promises to go over there and take a look. As for the price, he will negotiate it with the seller then.
After hanging up the phone, He Xiaosheng sends a few photos of the mansion to Li Yong. After checking the photos, Han Lu and Han Fei both deem the mansion beautiful. Li Yong is satisfied with it too. A large mansion can accommodate many people. After he reunites with his mom and dad, they can live together.
After discussion, Li Yong decides to go to see the mansion with Han Lu after breakfast. Han Fei will stay at home. She, who will go to Nihon, has to pack up her things. Wei Fangxia has to go to the police station to get Li Yong’s passport entitling him to travel worldwide. Moreover, she has to do corresponding preparations.
“Dinner is ready.” Hearing Wang Yuan’s shout, everyone walks into the dining hall one after another.
Only Wei Fangxia doesn’t move. Seeing that Li Yong walks to the dining hall as well, she gently pulls Li Yong.
Li Yong has to stop. Turning his head, he asks, “What is it?”
Without responding immediately, Wei Fangxia waits until everyone else walks into the dining hall before questioning softly, “Why was one of the bullets loaded in my gun gone?”
“Do you think I stole a bullet from you?” Li Yong sneers.
“If it is not you, who else can it be?” Despite feeling furious, Wei Fangxia dares not speak loudly.
“I indeed didn’t steal your bullet!” Li Yong thinks to himself, “I didn’t steal it. I borrowed it!”
“Humph! As for the explosion case in the grove, are you the mastermind behind it?” Wei Fangxia sizes up Li Yong as if she were a crime-solving expert. She always feels that there is something suspicious about Li Yong.
“Are you kidding? Didn’t you say it was an artillery shell from the military region?” Li Yong hastily denies it, “Ms. Wei, I’m telling you solemnly. The explosion has nothing to do with me at all. You can’t slander me unscrupulously.”
Wei Fangxia explains, “The shell from the military region surely won’t hit the residential area, okay? It is just an excuse to appease everyone. The reason why the government compensates for the common folks’ losses with money is that they want to appease them.”
“Oh, I see. Let’s hurry up and eat dinner!” Li Yong smiles and walks towards the dining hall.
Wei Fangxia, who is undeterred, asks in a low and sullen voice, “Are you behind it?”
“It has nothing to do with me.” Responding indifferently, Li Yong doesn’t want to cause any new trouble.
Wei Fangxia sighs lightly, catches up with him, and walks into the dining hall.
After breakfast, Tian Hailu drives Li Yong and Han Lu to He Xiaosheng’s house.
Wearing a light red dress, He Xiaosheng has been waiting for them in front of the courtyard early with several bodyguards.
Seeing that Han Lu gets out of the car, she comes forward and grabs Han Lu’s tender hand. After a polite exchange, she points to the big mansion on the left and smiles, “This is the one for sale. It’s even bigger than my house. If you buy it, in the future, we will be neighbors. I have notified the owner of this house. And they are waiting for you.”
Li Yong, who has to be in a rush, says with a smile, “Then let’s go over there now!” Having to take a plane to Nihon this afternoon, he intends to talk with the house owner as soon as possible. It will be best if they can thus settle the deal. For this mansion, he saw it once. It was right in the grove in front of this mansion that he spanked Wang Li’s butt last time. This mansion is indeed big enough.
He Xiaosheng asks with a smile, “Won’t you come to my house to rest for a while?”
Han Lu laughs and says, “We’d better go see the house first! After seeing the house, we will go to your house and have a good rest there, Ms. He.”
“Then, let’s go! This way.” He Xiaosheng takes Han Lu’s tender hand and walks to the left along a gravel path by the creek beside which flowers prevail. Above the creek, there is a white arch bridge. After walking across the white arch bridge, they will see the big mansion.
From a distance, Li Yong sees several large vermillion characters written on a gate tower, which read, “the Bai Family”.
The strokes of the letters are natural and smooth, indicating that the calligrapher wrote them strongly, powerfully, and vigorously as well as nobly.
Below the gate tower, there stands an old gentleman with a beard and glasses. With a pair of deep and bright eyes, he is a learned man at a glance. With a quaint Chinese tunic suit and a worn pen hanging off the pocket of his tops, he looks like a teacher. From a distance, he reveals a kind smile, looking approachable.
This man is the owner of this mansion, Bai Munan.
