Chapter 118 Villa No. 001
“The residents of the Lingjueding Villa District are all top people in the city, including many business tycoons. They inevitably have enemies, so this is for their safety.”
Lin Fan patiently explained as he drove.
"How do you know so much?" Su Ruowei asked in confusion.
What had just happened made her suspicious, especially the 10 minutes that were open to the public, as if they knew about her bet with Ji Wuyou and opened it up specifically for her.
Could it be that Lin Fan has some connection with the Lin family of Shancheng? They share the same surname, and he has many secrets to hide.
"You can just look this up online," Xiao Xinran suddenly said.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, secretly praising Xiao Xinran for her timely explanation.
“That makes sense.” Su Ruowei glanced at Lin Fan, who was focused on driving.
It seems I was overthinking things. Besides, if Lin Fan is related to the Lin family of Shancheng, it's not a bad thing. There's no need to hide it, Su Ruowei thought.
Along a main road leading uphill, rows of exquisite villas are scattered among the lush greenery. This is still at the foot of the mountain, and these villas are the lowest-grade in the Lingjueding villa area, but even so, they cost tens of millions.
As the altitude increases, the number of villas in sight gradually decreases, and the quality of the villas also increases. The villas near the mountainside are priced at over 100 million yuan, and the villas of the Ji family and the Liu family are also located in this area.
Further up the road, the surface gradually narrows until it becomes a one-way street, with lush greenery on both sides.
At the end of the one-way street, there is a guard post. Turn right at the guard post and walk another 200 meters; that is Villa No. 001.
Villa No. 001, located at the summit, is situated against the mountain and covers an area of over 120 acres.
The three-story main building, along with a series of supporting buildings, has an overall white exterior that, under the setting sun, resembles a giant cruise ship, exuding grandeur and magnificence.
There are two huge garages at the entrance, each capable of holding eight or nine cars.
Next to the villa's entrance is a glass sunroom. Through the glass, you can see that it's furnished with sofas, lounge chairs, and some tables—a place specifically for enjoying the sunshine.
The spacious courtyard not only features a private swimming pool but also a mini golf course. The roof is a flat design, and if you go up to the roof, you'll find that it can also accommodate two helicopters. Yesterday, helicopters were indeed parked here, and even the garage was full of luxury cars, but under Lin Fan's arrangement, they were all cleared out.
After Lin Fan stopped the car, the bus followed. Everyone got off the bus and stared at the villa in awe, remaining in a daze for more than ten minutes.
"Compared to this, the old lady's villa is practically a latrine," Shen Yunlan exclaimed excitedly.
Su Zhengwu was also excited: "Let's go in and take a look!"
"Let's go inside." Su Ruowei swallowed hard. She still felt like she was dreaming. She had actually won such an extremely luxurious villa in a lottery!
Su Ruowei led everyone to the villa for an 'exploration,' while Lin Fan walked alone to the guard post at the end of the one-way street.
Because everyone was so excited, no one noticed Lin Fan's departure.
Inside the guard post, Liang Sanhu was resting.
"Sanhu, you've worked hard!" Lin Fan entered the guard post.
"It's alright." Liang Sanhu frowned, then said, "I just don't know when we can return to Jiuyou."
Liang Sanhu longed to return to Jiuyou and the Great Liang Kingdom, but Lin Fan had arranged for him to work as a bodyguard, so he couldn't sense any effort Lin Fan was making to help him get back.
"I already know the Blood Lightning Curse's emblem, and I'm currently investigating its location. Once I find it, it won't be long before I can send you back," Lin Fan sighed, looking out the window.
"Blood Lightning Curse?" Liang Sanhu looked shocked. "You know about the Blood Lightning Curse emblem?"
Lin Fan nodded with his eyes closed.
"Well, I hope they can find out the truth soon," Liang Sanhu sighed.
Liang Sanhu understood what the Blood Thunder Curse Mark meant. Lin Fan had already tested the lightning with his own body and was able to do so. Liang Sanhu no longer had any complaints.
"I have a feeling something might happen soon. Please protect Ruowei's family," Lin Fan said earnestly. This was also the reason why Lin Fan had his parents-in-law move to the Lingjueding Villa.
The villa at the top of Lingjue Peak has strict security measures and is relatively safe, but if martial artists like the Four Evils of Mountain City come to cause trouble like that day, then a strong person like Liang Sanhu will be needed to protect it.
"Don't worry, I'm here!" Liang Sanhu replied firmly.
Lin Fan left the guard post, and after walking a short distance, he looked back and sighed.
He understood Liang Sanhu's longing for home, but investigating the Blood Thunder Curse was no easy task. Moreover, even if they did find it, how to use the Blood Thunder Curse, or whether they could use it to return to the Nine Nether Continent, was still a mystery.
However, this is an inevitable path, and the Blood Thunder Curse must be broken before we can even discuss whether we can return.
At the same time, Ji Wuyou followed in his Ferrari to the entrance of the one-way street. Even this hothead dared not take another step forward, looking at the "No Mercy" sign standing by the roadside, which was very intimidating.
"So this bastard is the good-for-nothing Lin Fan! What a piece of trash." Ji Wuyou turned the car around and drove down the mountain to go home. Through the information that they lived in villa number 001, Ji Wuyou already knew the identities of Lin Fan and Su Ruowei.
Su Ruowei drew villa number 001, and Lin Fan was the useless son-in-law of the Su family. These two pieces of information were already common knowledge in Shancheng City.

Lin Fan returned to the villa, walked through the courtyard, and sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. He had no mind to appreciate the extreme luxury; his mind was filled with the patterns of the Blood Thunder Curse.
After a brief chat with Liang Sanhu, Lin Fan's mindset has changed somewhat.
When Lin Fan first returned to the mortal world from the Nine Netherworlds, he only took Liang Sanhu and Nangong Jin under his command for his own selfish interests, but now he always feels somewhat indebted to them.
During his hundreds of years in the Nine Netherworld, Lin Fan grew accustomed to that dog-eat-dog, martial-centric society. But upon returning to the mortal world, although it was still a dog-eat-dog world, this world, where the strong were respected, had a touch more humanity.
Lin Fan met someone like Zhou Xiaojing, who silently sacrificed for her family.
There are also people like Su Yulin who realized their mistakes and worked hard for their dreams.
Although Liu Zhengwei, a business tycoon, was only attached to him for personal gain, Lin Fan knew that this was simply due to a difference in their personal stances.
There are also Song Xueyao, Liu Linglong, and others.
Lin Fan leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. Light shone through each crystal, illuminating the entire room.
Each crystal is like a business in the city, and the central light source is like the Shancheng Group. The light shines brighter because of the presence of so many businesses, while the crystals themselves are dull and lifeless because they lack a light source.
"Now that I've taken over the Shancheng Group, I must shoulder the responsibility for the entire city of Shancheng, select the good people to employ, and punish the wicked!" Lin Fan's eyes gleamed with determination.
