110: Visit Zhou Mansion

“Nuo Yi, can you fly planes?”

With a private jet, a pilot and co-pilot are naturally needed.

If Nuo Yi and the others could fly planes, it would save those expenses.

He wasn't being stingy; he was being thrifty and managing the household well.

Riding a bicycle to a bar, save where you can, spend where you should.

“Yes, Boss. We can pilot all vehicles below Level 4 civilization.”

“However, according to legal regulations, we don't have pilot licenses, so we're not allowed to fly planes.”

They were already omnipotent bionic humans, so naturally, they could pilot a “low-level” vehicle like a plane.

Damn… it seems this money still needs to be spent.

“Speaking of which… you don’t have car driving licenses, do you?”

Li Youqian had forgotten about the licenses until Nuo Yi mentioned it; Nuo Yi had been driving without a license all this time!

Fortunately, they hadn't encountered any traffic police uncles during this period, or it would have been a Barbie Q.

“Yes, Boss. Not only car licenses, but we also don’t have ID cards or anything like that.”

Great~ they were still ten unregistered individuals.

“System Bro, why didn’t you get them identity documents?!”

[....]

[I thought you could handle such a small matter yourself.]

“System Bro, I’m just saying… are you overestimating me a bit?”

If he had already acknowledged his ancestors, this would indeed be a small matter.

But for him now, this was a huge deal.

He didn't know a single person in official circles!

[If you can’t solve it, can’t your neighbor solve it?]

[Can you use your pig brain, and not just think about picking up girls all day?]

Oh right, how could he forget Zhou Yushen!

Zhou Yushen was the veritable “Crown Prince” of Modu; such a small matter would be effortless for him.

[Ding~ The Host has finally started using his brain. This system is very pleased.]

[Reward Host - 1 jin of Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Dahongpao tea, and one painting of “Solitary Fishing in a Cold River.”]

[Now, immediately, right away, take these things and pay a visit, OK?]

Although he was mocked by the system again, seeing the gifts suddenly appear on the table, Li Youqian forgave the system once more.

Hehe, so good~

“Oh? Brother Li?”

Zhou Yushen was at home tending to his plants when he suddenly heard the doorbell. He opened the door to find it was Li Youqian.

“Brother Zhou, I hope I’m not disturbing you?”

Since he moved in, he had never formally visited any other residents.

This was his first time visiting with gifts.

“No disturbance, no disturbance. Brother Li, your visit truly graces my humble abode with splendor!”

“Please, come in quickly.”

Zhou Yushen was somewhat surprised by Li Youqian’s visit, but he quickly adjusted his emotions.

After all, this was very likely the future heir of the Li Family of Longxi, a figure standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

“Brother Li, what brings you to my home today?”

Zhou Yushen knew a thing or two about Li Youqian.

He was a typical homebody, who would rather lie at home than go out for a stroll.

Commonly known as a shut-in.

“Since moving in, I’ve been busy with other matters and haven’t formally visited Uncle and Aunt.”

“I remember you said Uncle enjoys tea. Recently, I acquired some good tea leaves and brought them for Uncle to sample.”

Zhou Yushen had already noticed the items in Li Youqian’s hand. Now that Li Youqian brought it up, he politely said:

“Brother Li, your presence alone makes my father very happy; why bother with these gifts?”

“Next time, please don’t be so polite.”

After speaking, Zhou Yushen proactively took the gifts from Li Youqian’s hand, not because he was greedy.

Under normal circumstances, a visiting gift should not be refused; refusing it would imply that your relationship is not good.

Moreover, this was Li Youqian’s first time visiting with gifts.

As they walked, Li Youqian observed Zhou Yushen’s home.

Although the house structure was the same, Zhou Yushen’s home mostly featured wooden furniture, in a very classic Chinese style.

And he didn't see a single servant in the house. Are large families all so low-key?

“Brother Li, please wait a moment. I’ll go call my father.”

Upon reaching the reception hall, Zhou Yushen settled Li Youqian, then went upstairs to call his father, Zhou Zijun.

As the head of the household, Zhou Zijun naturally had to come out to greet Li Youqian.

“Father, Brother Li from next door has come to visit you.”

Zhou Yushen arrived at the study, gently knocked on the door, and said.

“Alright, I know. I’ll be right down.”

Zhou Zijun had naturally had someone investigate Li Youqian.

However, the information found was all “false” information.

For example, he once worked as a security guard at Country Garden, or that he was an orphan.

Zhou Zijun naturally didn’t believe any of this.

How could a mere security guard buy a Nine-Hall Villa from the Li Family patriarch?

How could he make a Russian tycoon reluctantly give up a yacht worth billions?

Where could one find such a security guard job? He’d sign up immediately!

Li Youqian was observing the decorations in the reception hall with great interest when his attention was drawn to a painting.

He didn't understand paintings, but he knew this one must be fake.

Because… the real one was on the table!

That’s right, this painting was precisely the “Solitary Fishing in a Cold River” rewarded by the system.

“Young friend also enjoys studying calligraphy and paintings?”

“If you like it, young friend, you may take this painting.”

As soon as Zhou Zijun came down, he saw Li Youqian staring at the painting.

Anyway, this painting was a fake. If Li Youqian liked it, he could take it.

Hearing this, Li Youqian quickly turned around.

Although he didn't know Zhou Zijun, just by looking at his face, he knew this was Zhou Yushen’s father.

“Greetings, Uncle. I apologize for my abrupt visit.”

“No matter. I’m happy you came; how could I possibly blame you?”

Zhou Zijun had long wanted to get to know Li Youqian, but out of concern for his reputation, he had never taken the initiative to visit.

“Sit down. What brings you to visit this old man today?”

He recognized the box of tea on the table at a glance, being well-traveled.

Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Dahongpao, and so much of it. If it were just a Simple visit, there wouldn't be a need for so much.

“Uncle, besides visiting you today, there’s also a small matter I need your help with.”

Originally, Li Youqian intended to find Zhou Yushen, but since his father was here, it was more convenient to ask him.

“Oh? What is it?”

Zhou Zijun was very curious as to what kind of matter would make Li Youqian seek his help.

In vast China, was there anything the Li Family couldn’t solve?

“It’s like this, I have a few subordinates…”

Zhou Zijun looked odd after listening. Did he really need to come to him for such a small matter?

He thought it was something major.

“Brother Li, you’re not talking about those few dead soldiers by your side, are you?”

Zhou Yushen had always thought that Nuo Yi and the others were dead soldiers sent by the Li Family to protect Li Youqian.

This kind of thing is very common in large families; direct descendants are protected by dead soldiers trained by the family.

It’s just that dead soldiers are usually unregistered and rarely given identity documents.

After all, with identity documents, it’s inconvenient to do certain things.

“Yes, it’s them.”

Since Zhou Yushen had already imagined Nuo Yi and the others’ identities, he didn’t need to explain.

And “dead soldiers” sounds so cool, doesn't it?
