Power and Wealth

Next day.

Morning, 7 am.

Dong Xuebing was still sleeping when his blanket was pulled away. He immediately woke up from the sudden cold.

Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and saw his blanket was gone.

“Ah?” Dong Xuebing was confused and in a daze.

Zhang Longjuan stood by the bed and smiled at him. “Wake up.”

Dong Xuebing rubbed his eyes. “Sis Zhang. You frightened me. What time is that?”

“It’s almost 8 am. Wake up. Breakfast is ready. Go… go… go….” Zhang Longjuan snapped his finger.

“Sorry to trouble you again. Thank you.” Dong Xuebing got up quickly.

“Hahaha…. It’s because I like you. I will not do anything if it is someone else. Let’s go.”

“Ok. Let me wash up first.” Dong Xuebing stretched. He had a good sleep.

The first floor of the mansion.

Dining room.

The table was full of food like foie gras, omelets, etc.

“Sis Zhang, why did you prepare so much food?”

“I got to take good care of you.”

“You made me feel bad to trouble you.”

“Eat. Anyway, I did not cook all these. I ordered it from a restaurant.”

They sat opposite each other at the table and started eating. Zhang Longjuan was sexily dressed today too. Red heels, beige stockings, and a low-cut dress. Most of the women her age would not dare to dress this way. However, she doesn’t care. He continued to eat while stealing glances at her. She is too attractive and knows how to doll up.

I should stop looking.

It would be embarrassing if she found out.

Dong Xuebing stopped looking and continued to eat his breakfast.

They finished their breakfast around 15 minutes later.

Zhang Longjuan looked at Dong Xuebing. “Haha…. Where do you want to go today?”

Dong Xuebing thought for a while. “I want to visit the west side. Err…. I can go on my own if you are busy.”

“Oh, are you afraid of me?”

“No. I am staying at your place and eating your food. I don’t want to trouble you further.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I still have not done anything to you yet. Don’t feel so restrained.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. Sis Zhang did not hold back and dared to say anything.

“Let’s go to my garage to pick a car. I will drive you around.” Zhang Longjuan stood up and walked towards the garage with a cigarette between her fingers.

Garage.

Both entered the garage.

“Which car do you like?” Zhang Longjuan asked.

There were four cars in the garage, including the BMW Sportscar.

Dong Xuebing, like that red Lamborghini, should be the most expensive car in the garage. However, he remembered his purpose today and pointed to the black Buick in a corner. “’ That will do.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Are you sure?”

“Yes. This will not make us stand out.” Dong Xuebing replied.

“Fine. I will listen to you.” Zhang Longjuan got into that Buicks and closed the door. “Let’s go.”

“Ok.” Dong Xuebing followed and entered the front passenger seat.

Inside the car. Zhang Longjuan said. “I only use this car when I have customers coming. Haha…. This is a good car, but it is slow.”

“Is your company busy?”

“It’s fine. I have people managing it for me, and they will call if they cannot decide on something.”

“Ok. I don’t want to affect your work.”

“It’s fine. There are no direct roads to the west. This place is different from China. Where exactly do you want to go?”

“Err…. I am not sure. I just want to look around.”

“Alright. Fasten your seatbelt.”

The Buicks sped out of the garage.

Dong Xuebing was speechless again. Zhang Longjuan was driving the Buicks like a sportscar.

West side.

A highway.

Dong Xuebing recalled the map in his mind, and they should be traveling toward the direction of the Research Center.

Zhang Longjuan said while driving. “This area is all the high-class residential estates, and there are farms there.”

“It’s beautiful.”

“This place is secluded, and there’s not much traffic.”

“Sis Zhang, what other buildings are there here?”

“There are not many buildings here. There’s a city if we continue to drive towards the west. There are lots of good restaurants there.” Zhang Longjuan paused and said. “Oh, we cannot continue this way. We got to make a detour through the north or south.”

“Why?”

“There’s a military installation in front. I think it might be a research center, and many soldiers are patrolling this area.”

Dong Xuebing blinked. “Patrol?”

“Maybe something happened. Who knows? I heard gunshots at night. Maybe they are conducting military exercises there.”

Dong Xuebing frowned. He heard from Xie Guojian that the people sent to rescue Zhong Lizhen became uncontactable or had been sacrificed.

This should be the place.

No! This must be the place.

The car continued forward and saw a military jeep driving past them.

“The military installation should be there, but I have never been there.” Zhang Longjuan pointed to the west and turned towards the north. “That road cannot pass. We got to drive around this area.”

Dong Xuebing could see a low building in the distance and an extensive grassland surrounding that area.

It’s there!

There’s no cover or places to hide. How can I get there?

Dong Xuebing frowned. He knew before he came. The research center will not be located in the city, making it difficult for anyone to infiltrate.

What should I do?

Go in by force?

Dong Xuebing did not say much and followed Zhang Longjuan around. They ate and visited some attractions. He was not interested, and all he thought about was the research center.

Dong Xuebing could not stay here too long and had only a few days. He must make a decision quickly.
