Chapter: 5490

Hóng Chāngqīng heard this and quickly looked at the navigation screen, only to discover that Wanliu Mountain Estate was separated from Xiangxi Liwen Spring Hotel by just a few hills, with a straight-line distance of less than two kilometers.

He exclaimed in surprise, "This...this is a bit too close already..."

Next to him, Lóng Sìzhī spread out the map and looked at the road information on the map, saying, "Master, although the straight-line distance is quite short, both places are dead-end roads. If you really want to go from Xiangxi Liwen Spring Hotel, there will still be a certain distance."

As she spoke, she reset the navigation system again, setting Wanliu Mountain Estate as the destination and Xiangxi Liwen Spring Hotel as the starting point. The navigation system quickly calculated the route and displayed it on the screen, with the total length being approximately five kilometers.

Hóng Chāngqīng looked at the route after that and slightly relaxed his expression. He knew that Ye Chen was not planning to acknowledge him just yet if he was really close. If they were indeed very close, there would be a risk of exposure for Ye Chen.

However, it was fortunate that Wanliu Mountain Estate and Xiangxi Liwen Spring Hotel were both built on hillsides. The two locations were separated by several mountains, making the walking distance quite long and difficult for ordinary people to choose this route. As for driving, although the distance was five kilometers away, Xiangxi Liwen Spring Hotel was currently not open to the public, which meant that there would be sufficient privacy protection.

So he asked Lóng Sìzhī to stop the car by the side, and then quickly got out of the car himself and walked to a deserted area to make a phone call to Ye Chen.

After one ring, he hurriedly said with great enthusiasm, "Ye Master, I just received your grandmother's phone call. She was saying that your uncle has already let the housekeeper buy a property in Jinling, and your family is now preparing to come to Jinling soon."

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment but quickly regained his normal expression. He had known earlier that his family wanted to go to Jinling, so he wasn't surprised by this news.

He paused for a moment before asking Hóng Chāngqīng, "Did my grandmother mention any specific time when she will be arriving?"

Hóng Chāngqīng hurriedly replied, "Ye Master, your grandmother wants me to go take a look at the new property's feng shui. If there are no problems, I think they will set off soon."

As he was speaking, he hastily asked again: "Is it necessary for you to go down and take a look at the new property's feng shui beforehand, or can I come along with you?"

"It's not necessary," Ye Chen let out a gentle sigh, speaking calmly: "What's meant to happen will eventually happen. If we keep finding excuses to delay it, it'll only have the opposite effect."

As he finished speaking, he asked again: "By the way, where is my grandma's new property located?"

Hóng Chāngqīng hurriedly replied: "Master Ye, it's located in a place called Wanliushan Zhuang. I'm not too familiar with Jinling's outskirts, and I've never been there before. However, just now, I let Xi look at the navigation, and it seems that Wanliushan Zhuang is quite close to Xianghe Wenshan Hot Spring Hotel, only about one or two kilometers away by straight line distance, which should be less than five kilometers by car."

Ye Chen had never heard of Wanliushan Zhuang before. After all, Xianghe Wenshan was already considered a relatively remote suburban area.

However, after listening to Hóng Chāngqīng's words, Ye Chen felt a little worried about this.

After all, he hadn't yet prepared himself to recognize his family members.

Getting too close would always pose some exposure risks.

But then he thought again and felt that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, his grandma's family had already been targeted by the Clearing Sect; if he got closer to them, he could better protect them.

Thinking of this, he told Hóng Chāngqīng: "You go ahead and take a look at Wanliushan Zhuang first. See how many people are arranged there, whether there are any family members from the main line. If not, I'll wear a mask and come with you to take a look. When that time comes, just tell them I'm your master's disciple."

"Okay, Master Ye!" Hóng Chāngqīng responded without hesitation, then said: "Master Ye, since it's like this, I'll go ahead and head over to take a look now."

"All right, I'll wait for your message," Ye Chen nodded affirmatively: "..."

...Twenty minutes later, Long Siji arrived at Wanliushan Zhuang by car.

The reason it's called Wanliushan Zhuang is because the entire estate sits on a narrow ridge near a lake, surrounded by lush willow trees. There are estimated to be over 20,000 willow trees inside and outside the estate. JrNovels.com
