Chapter 590 Underground Treasures
“Mr. Bai, this is the divine doctor I mentioned to you, Li Yong. He is also my brother. And this is his wife, my sister-in-law. Hearing that your mansion is for sale, they are interested in it.”
“No worries. If they take a fancy to it, they will buy it in cash.” He Xiaosheng introduces both Li Yong and Han Lu with a smile and keeps grabbing Han Lu’s hand, deliberately making Bai Munan think that Li Yong and Han Lu are intimate with her.
“Hello.” Shaking hands with Li Yong, Bai Munan sincerely admires the doctor who has cured He Xiaosheng’s disease. In his opinion, he and his family may have to turn to such a powerful doctor someday. Therefore, despite thinking that Li Yong is unexpectedly young, he treats him like a VIP. Grabbing Li Yong’s hand with both hands, he looks very polite.
Li Yong hastens to shake Bai Munan’s hand with both hands as well. According to He Xiaosheng, Bai Munan is a calligrapher. When it comes to the best-known art like calligraphy, Li Yong, who doesn’t know how to appreciate them, thinks highly of them.
Young people nowadays have no idea about what calligraphy is. Few can appreciate it.
By typing on the computers, people nowadays can type whatever fonts they want. Printed handwriting is far more beautiful than handwritten ones. Few are willing to take their time to write with a brush slowly.
In their opinion, it is a waste of time and their lives to write with a brush. After all, when they write a letter with a brush, they can type dozens of words on the computer instead.
So, calligraphy faces the dilemma of having no inheritors. Even so, it doesn’t affect others from respecting the calligraphers.
Like Li Yong, he thinks highly of calligraphers. To put it bluntly, Li Yong respects cultural men. Looking up, he points to the letters above his head, which read, “The Bai Family,” and humbly asks, “Sir, did you write these characters?”
“No. My paternal grandfather wrote them at least two hundred years ago. My paternal grandfather, an influential official of the Qing Dynasty, once tutored the crown prince and acted as the Crown Prince’s Grand Master. Let’s make a deal first. If you buy my mansion, I am going to take away these characters.” Bai Munan smiles cordially.
Li Yong has no opinion about it, let alone Han Lu. Because their family name is Li and Han respectively. However excellent these characters are, they surely won’t hang a plaque containing someone else’s surname on it if they buy the mansion in the end.
Han Lu laughs lightly and says, “Bai isn’t our family name either. So we naturally can’t keep the plague containing your surname.”
“Hahaha. If you guys think highly of my calligraphy, I can write one for you to hang on the gate tower. Although my calligraphy attainment isn’t as good as my ancestors’, it’s a little better than those of the average.” Bai Munan says with interest, “No charge.”
Li Yong looks at Han Lu, asking, “What do you want to write on the plaque?”
Han Lu hesitates for a moment before saying, “The Li Family!”
Li Yong thought Han Lu would insist on naming the mansion the Han Family instead. Because he, the son-in-law of the Han Family, lives in the Han Family’s villa. No matter where he lives, his status will never change! Unexpectedly, Han Lu is so concerned about him. She is such a virtuous woman.
“Honey, thank you.” Li Yong reaches out and hugs Han Lu. Although He Xiaosheng, Bai Munan, and the servants of both families are all right next to him, he directly kisses Han Lu.
Blushing in shyness, Han Lu feels joyful in her heart.
“Mr. Bai, kindly help us write the Li Family and the Han Family. I will hang the Li Family on the left and the Han Family on the right.” Li Yong says with a smile, “My surname is Li. And my wife is surnamed Han.”
“Good. Let me make things clear first. I’m writing calligraphy for free. The price of the mansion is non-negotiable. Otherwise, someone else would have bought it early. I like bargaining the least. For the sake of Miss He, I am warning you.” Bai Munan says indifferently, “Please follow me and take a look inside.”
“It’s too expensive.” Han Lu doesn’t think the mansion is worth such a high price. She originally wanted to drive a hard bargain. Unexpectedly, Bai Munan and Li Yong have a pleasant talk. Seeing this, Han Lu directly holds back what she is going to say.
Looking calm and collected, Li Yong pulls Han Lu’s hand and catches up with Bai Munan.
Next, under the personal guidance of Bai Munan, Li Yong and Han Lu take a thorough look at the Bai Family’s mansion.
After seeing the exterior, Han Lu thinks that the villa combining traditional Chinese and Western styles looks unique and beautiful. The way she sees it, after buying this mansion, they can directly live inside with a few simple internal furnishings. With the afforestation of the surrounding garden in place, flowers bloom all year round. It is just that the price of this mansion is too high, which she finds unacceptable.
She tries to bargain several times, only to be cleverly bypassed by Bai Munan. It makes her realize that despite being a calligrapher, Bai Munan is a businessman as well. He seems to be far more adept in doing business than in calligraphy.
Li Yong checks into the interior instead. Turning on his clairvoyant vision, he checks the house thoroughly without even sparing the underground, from which he can see that this long-history mansion is of at least five hundred years.
Because he finds another two layers of foundations in a row beneath the foundation.
Underneath this mansion, there are three layers of foundations in total, which means that it has been renovated three times.
While checking a rockery in the middle of two villas with his clairvoyant vision, he suddenly stares in awe and gets stunned straight away.
Beneath the rockery, he sees a stone room that is clustered with gold, silver, and jade as well as all kinds of household items from ancient times. As soon as he activates his thoughts, dozens of strands of spiritual power fly out from the stone room.
Those jades are all the most excellent jades. And those gold and silver are all exquisite ornaments.
As for those household items, regardless of whether they are tableware or ornaments, all of them are exquisite works of art.
Sensing that these things seem to be more valuable than the mansion, Li Yong feels joyful in his heart instantly. The way he sees it, even if the house is at one billion yuan, he will buy it.
After he moves here, he can slowly uncover the treasures below.
Seeing that Li Yong is interested in the rockery, Bai Munan cheerfully introduces, “This rockery has been here ever since my grandfather’s childhood. I heard that these stones were transported from Great Dragon Mountain thousands of miles away. Back then, transportation wasn’t like it is now. Setting the transportation aside, mining out the stones alone would consume many manpower and material resources. It is indeed not an easy task to transport these boulders weighing thousands of pounds here. Sometimes, I wonder how they moved them here back then.”
“Yong.” Seeing that Li Yong is stunned and motionless, Han Lu gently tugs him.
Only then does Li Yong comes to his senses all of a sudden and hurriedly smile at Bai Munan, “The formation of these stones sets off the momentum of the Dragon King from the Great Dragon Mountain. It’s good. Good. It is considered a great spectacle.”
“Mr. Li, you have good vision! Regarding these stones, my grandfather and you think alike about them. However hard I try to appreciate them, I can’t see anything. Unexpectedly, you saw it with just one glance. I admire you so much. It seems that fate binds you with this place!” Speaking sincerely, Bai Munan doesn’t seem to be faking.
While speaking, he carefully observes the rockery, only to fail to tell any momentum of the Dragon King. Thinking that he stands at the wrong angle, he goes around to Li Yong’s other side and continues to observe the rockery. Finally, pushing Li Yong away and standing where Li Yong once stood, he watches the rockery discreetly once again. As ever, he can’t see anything.
Feeling a little discouraged, he sighs to himself, “Is it because I have bad eyesight?
Li Yong, however, is quite happy. Silently calculating in his heart, he thinks that the gold, silver, and jade in the stone room alone will be worth several hundred million yuan, not to mention the various porcelain, copper pots, and pans. The house pricing at six hundred million yuan is such a bargain.
Consequently, without hesitation, he waves his hand and smiles, “I will buy it at the price you offered, Mr. Bai.”
“Haha. You are so decisive. Young man, you are courageous. And you are a man who does great things.” Bai Munan gives a thumbs up and complements Li Yong excitedly. This mansion has been for sale for more than two years. He finally manages to get a buyer.
“Are you stupid or something? Six hundred million yuan. It’s too expensive.”
Han Lu lightly pulls Li Yong, saying softly, “At most, we will give him five hundred million yuan. I heard that someone offered him five hundred million yuan last time, to which he agreed. However, the buyer went back on his words. This mansion probably is worth less than five hundred million yuan.”
Ignoring Han Lu’s words, Li Yong laughs, “Mr. Bai, the money is ready. I can transfer it to you at any time. When can we sign the contract? Now I am available. I have to go to Nihon this afternoon.”
“Hahaha… Let’s sign the contract now! In a few days, I’ll move out.” Bai Munan doesn’t expect that he will get the business done at once. Glancing at He Xiaosheng gratefully, he accredits it to her.
Next, they are in the living room of a villa. Bai Munan makes a phone call. And it doesn’t take long for the relevant staff of government departments to rush over. The staff of the Ministry of Housing and Construction and the Impartial Officer all arrive.
After they sign various agreements, they get a brand new property certificate with the names of Li Yong and Han Lu printed on it.
Holding a contract in her hands, Han Lu reads it carefully rather than let Li Yong immediately sign it. It is the necessary procedure she used to go through when signing a contract. No matter what kind of contract it is, she will review it carefully.
It is not that she distrusts Bai Munan. Instead, it shows her professionalism.
As Han Lu is reviewing the contract, He Xiaosheng asks Li Yong in a soft voice, “Have you seen Wang Jun?”
Li Yong glances at He Xiaosheng and replies with a smile, “Yes.”
“Oh, the Wang family is now searching for him worldwide. If you can provide reliable information to them, they will be grateful to you.”
Li Yong explains indifferently, “I already told Sheng what I knew. I saw Wang Jun and Hu Chai together. After that, I haven’t met them.” He can only try to avoid mentioning his relationship with Wang Jun as well as Wang Jun’s death.
For people like Wang Jun, if he weren’t the Third Master of the Wang family, he probably would have long been dead.
It is such a miracle that Wang Jun can grow up to his age soundly.
In Li Yong’s opinion, after Hu Chai escapes, he surely will hide somewhere and dare not show up.
If Hu Chai disappears into thin air from now on, the Wang family certainly won’t suspect Li Yong, which is what he wants.
“That’s good.” He Xiaosheng smiles with relief. Having been concerned that Wang Jun’s disappearance will be related to Li Yong, she adds, “Wang Jun is Wang Qiang’s most favored son. If something happens to him, Wang Qiang won’t leave the matter at that.”
“I know.” Li Yong isn’t quite worried. After all, he didn’t murder Wang Jun.
If the Wang family is capable, they should go after the cruel, heartless, and old man, Hu Chai!
“Okay, sign it!” Without detecting any issues, Han Lu asks Li Yong to sign the contract.
By the time they finish signing the contract and settling the date of moving in, it has been at noon. Li Yong and Han Lu look at each other and decide to go home for dinner.
Despite that Bai Munan and He Xiaosheng ask them to stay, they decline politely and rush back home.
Li Yong has to fly to Nihon this afternoon. So they choose to have lunch with their family.
