Lu Chen looked at the man in front of him. He was only in his early thirties and was wearing a fitting suit and tie.
It was obvious that he was the person in charge here.
Therefore, he nodded.
He followed manager Zhang into the hall step by step.
As they walked, the manager spoke up.
“Sir, the Cloudy Homestead is the best of the best in Peaceful Town.
“No matter where you want to live, we will definitely find a place that will meet your requirements.
“You must know that our background is backed up by the famous Gu family.”
“Huh?”
Lu Chen stopped in his tracks. He heard a familiar name.
Gu Family?
He looked at Liu Yuan with a questioning look in his eyes.
Liu Yuan said, “I forgot to tell you that Cloudy Homestead properties are provided by the Gu family.
“The Gu family has a big business and lives in Peaceful Town. They own almost everything here, you can’t avoid it.”
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, “Gu Yiming?”
Liu Yuan chuckled and said, “Who else could it be? This young master of the Gu family massacred the family last year and took over all the properties.
“Safe to say that it’s not in pretty good hands.”
Listening to the conversation between the two, manager Zhang broke out in a cold sweat.
Who were these two?
How did they dare call the name of the owner so casually?
From what he heard, both parties seem to know him?
Looking at Lu Chen’s handsome face, he felt that he had misjudged him.
Could it be that this young man was a big shot as well?
…
In a large villa, Gu Yiming was sitting on an office chair.
His brows were deeply furrowed.
The sound of knocking could be heard outside his door.
“Come in!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a well-dressed and spirited old man entered the house.
“Young Master!”
Gu Yiming raised his head. It was Butler Bai.
“What’s the matter?”
Butler Bai said, “The Xiao family has made a move. They have found information about Morning Mist’s location. The expert fighters of the Xiao family have all been mobilized.”
Gu Yiming’s eyes sharpened and he said in a serious voice, “What happened after?”
He was considering the value of this Morning Mist player.
The Xiao family was not a crazy family.
They would rather wait and plan out before acting rashly!
Then the price they would have to pay afterward would not be as huge!
He knew that the Dragon Country would definitely not sit idly by!
This also proved the value of this Morning Mist if they had done something to protect him!
If Morning Mist was already dead, then there was no need for him to make a move!
If he was not dead, however, it may change the whole game!
Then, he had to consider whether or not he should intervene!
He had to protect Morning Mist and give him a favor!
Therefore, he directly asked for the result.
The butler pondered for a moment and said, “The Xiao family, All of them have been wiped out!”
“Lin is heavily injured. We don’t know if he’s dead or alive!”
Gu Yiming frowned and said, “All of them have been wiped out? Even Lin is heavily injured?
What did the higher-ups do?”
Butler Bai shook his head and said, “No, according to our intelligence, the higher-ups did not do anything. The Spirit Team and Dragon Team have both made a move. Most of them were there to finish the job. That Lu Chen, or known as Morning Mist, took down Lin alone.”
Gu Yiming was shocked!
Lin was a heaven rank expert in fighting, he was once just a step away from reaching the spiritual realm!
Countless families viewed him as a thorn in their side, they dared not throw hands so carelessly at him!
However, now, he was actually beaten by Lu Chen to the point where they did not even know if he was dead or alive?!
The Xiao family even suffered a huge setback from the fight?!
What kind of background did this Lu Chen possess to finish them off!
The Dragon Team and the Spirit Team had specially made their way there too!
Gu Yiming could not sit idle any longer, he stood up and slowly paced around the room.
He was considering the value of this Lu Chen!
He may be considering on a huge gamble!
After walking for a moment, he turned to Bai and asked, “Where is this Lu Chen person now?”
Elder Bai shook his head and said, “He should be in Peaceful Town looking for a place to stay.”
“What do you plan to do?”
Gu Yiming replied, “The entire world is in a tense situation right now. The world is about to undergo a huge change. Under such circumstances, even our Gu family might be in shambles.
“We must seize the opportunity!
“We must befriend this Lu Chen person!”
The other man frowned and said, “Since this Lu Chen has interacted with the Dragon Team, it’s very likely that he has been taken in by the organization. It would not be easy to see him now.”
It was very important for the Gu family to find Lu Chen first before anyone else. The first to gain his loyalty would obviously benefit the most from it.
At this moment, a message was sent to Bai.
He picked up his phone and took a look. A look of joy appeared on his face.
“Young master, I think we have a lead.
“Just now, the Cloudy Homestead people have sent a message saying that a young man had just arrived at the sales department. He drove a Flood Dragon Car.
“According to the description, it is very likely that young master is looking for the person we just mentioned.”
Gu Yiming’s heart trembled as he said, “Let’s go over right now!”
After saying that, he raised his hand and said, “No, it’s better for me to go over personally.”
After saying that, he stopped pacing around and left to the same location.
…
In the Cloudy Homestead sales department, Lu Chen looked at a few places and was not very satisfied with many things.
“Well, Mr. Lu, the number of people who are staying in the current room is really quite low.
“However, the environment doesn’t meet your requirements.
“Why don’t you give me a few more minutes and I’ll look around for a better place for you?”
Manager Zhang broke out in a cold sweat.
This gentleman’s requirements were quite unique. He wanted to be able to immediately move in. He also wanted a remote and not too small-sized villa.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside.
Under manager Zhang’s shocked gaze, Gu Yiming walked in.
He was walking towards Lu Chen.
He had been in the job for five years!
This was the first time he had seen the legendary behind-the-scenes boss. Usually, he could only get in touch with the person in charge when it came to important matters!
He would probably never see a family leader like Gu Yiming in his entire life.
Where did he come from?
“Mr. Morning Mist, no, I should address you as Mr. Lu Chen.
“Long time no see.
“I’m Gu Yiming. We’ve met in the game.”
Gu Yiming was very polite. He extended a hand to Lu Chen in a friendly manner.
There was an old man standing behind him. He had a mature aura. One look and one could tell that he was an expert in many things.
Lu Chen was a little surprised. He did not expect Gu Yiming to come here personally to greet him.
He smiled slightly and said, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Gu Yiming said, “Cloudy Homestead is the property of our Gu family. Looking at Mr. Lu’s situation, I assume you wish for a place to stay?
“Are you planning on living in Peaceful Town permanently in the future?”
Lu Chen nodded and said, “That’s right. I’ve changed my job careers recently, so I’m going to live in Peaceful Town for a while.”
As he said that, he took a look at the flood Dragon Car outside.
Gu Yiming recognized it well. When he came, he had already seen the car outside.
Lu Chen was definitely from the Dragon organization.
However, he was not discouraged. Regardless of whether that man was from the organization or not, there was no harm in building a good relationship.
“If you don’t mind, Mr. Lu, you can tell me about what you wish for in a house.
“When it comes to real estate, my Gu family could pull some strings to get you what you desire..”
