Chapter 2524: Wuling Villa

Wuling Villa is like a shining pearl embedded on the north bank of Wuling Lake in Xinchengzi Town, Miyun County. Built in 1987, this garden-style hotel not only has a beautiful environment but also integrates tourism, sightseeing, vacationing, meetings, entertainment, accommodation, and other functions. Every year, it receives many central big shots who come here for vacation and recuperation.

Wuling Villa is large in scale, with over 300 guest rooms. The large banquet hall can accommodate 500 people for dining at the same time, and 20 private rooms provide guests with a more private dining environment. Here, you can enjoy delicious food while looking out the window at the beautiful scenery of Wuling Immortal Lake.

At this time, in the bowling alley of the recreation center, Wen Sancao was holding a bowling ball, standing in front of the lane, and threw it out with a very standard posture. But unexpectedly, the bowling ball followed the traffic rules very well, suddenly changed lanes, started walking along the edge, and finally didn't hit a single pin.

"Damn it!" Wen Sancao couldn't help but curse, turned back to the rest chair, sat down, and took a sip of the juice next to him. Then he looked up at a woman walking toward him.

"How do you have time to come over?"

The person who came was Hong Jinyan. This woman sat down beside Wen Sancao, took off her sunglasses, and said softly, "I've been targeted by Zhou Andong."

Wen Sancao was shocked, and his brows furrowed. "Have you handled your side?"

"There won't be any problems on my side." Hong Jinyan looked at Wen Sancao and said, "What about your side? Have the goods been sent away?"

Wen Sancao nodded. "They are loading the goods now, and they can leave tonight."

"As long as there are no problems on your side, it won't be that easy for Zhou Andong to move against me." Hong Jinyan leaned back slowly and rubbed her somewhat swollen head. "You stay here for this period of time and don't go back to the city. In addition, Xiushui Street will also stop releasing goods, and we'll wait until the wind passes."

Letting Wen Sancao hide here for a period of time, and without a specific time, how could he stand it? "Is it that serious?"

"Being careful is never wrong." Hong Jinyan took a pack of ladies' cigarettes out of her small bag, then pulled one out and put it in her mouth.

Wen Sancao took a lighter, leaned over, and lit the cigarette for Hong Jinyan. "As long as we handle our tails well, I don't think there will be any problems."

Hong Jinyan shook her head. "Yesterday, Sun Baocun was set up and pitted by Zhou Andong. Sun Baocun had no way out and had to take Shao Yan and Zhang Qun and the others away for investigation. Even Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun might not be able to protect themselves, so we can't be careless."

Wen Sancao's face changed instantly, and the thought of staying here for two days and then going back to the city was completely gone. "Fine, I'll stay here for a period of time."

Hong Jinyan laughed, her thick fingers rubbing back and forth on Wen Sancao's thigh, her voice greasy. "Don't worry, I will come over often to accompany you."

The muscles on Wen Sancao's face twitched, and then he naturally grabbed Hong Jinyan's hand, looking at Hong Jinyan affectionately. "It's good that you can come over often to accompany me, but isn't your husband coming back in these two days?"

"Whether he comes back or not doesn't affect me coming over to accompany you." Hong Jinyan took a puff of the cigarette and then skillfully blew a smoke ring. "Besides, he won't discover it if I come over during the day."

Wen Sancao touched Hong Jinyan's hand and nodded, saying, "As long as you know what you're doing, after all, it's an extraordinary period now. If he really discovers something, it won't be good if it makes a scene at your factory."

"It won't!" Hong Jinyan said confidently. "Even if he discovers it, it doesn't matter. The whole Liu family relies on me for food; he doesn't dare to fall out with me."

After speaking, Hong Jinyan stood up and pulled Wen Sancao up too. "I'm a bit tired, take me to the room to rest for a while."

"Fine!" Wen Sancao nodded slightly, full of joy, and took Hong Jinyan out.

Anqiu Hutong, the soft afterglow of the setting sun passed through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. These lights and shadows swayed with the blowing of the breeze, intertwining and overlapping on the ground, forming a colorful pattern.

And under a ginkgo tree at the gate, Old Comrade Zhou sat in a wheelchair chatting with Old Cricket in the mottled light and shadow, and from time to time, a hearty laugh would come.

"Brother Zhou!" Old Cricket leaned against the tricycle behind him and asked with great concern, "How is your leg recovering?"

With the slow recovery of his body, Old Comrade Zhou's mental state was getting better and better, as if he were several years younger. "Recovering very well, I have already thrown away the crutches and will take a stroll around our area every morning. However, I still have to rest a few times halfway."

Old Cricket was sincerely happy for Old Zhou and said sincerely, "Brother Zhou, this old brother congratulates you here. When I come again next time, I will definitely bring you something good."

Old Zhou hurriedly waved his hand with a smile. "Brother, with our relationship, what gifts or not, those are all external things. As long as you can come a few more times and drink with me, it's better than anything!"

Old Cricket laughed. "I can't drink much, but I must send a gift. However, don't worry, it's not anything too valuable."

Just then, a Mercedes stopped slowly at the alley entrance, and then the door opened. Su Su climbed down from the car first, then ran toward the gate with her little legs, shouting as she ran.

"Grandpa!"

"Oh, my big granddaughter is back." Seeing his granddaughter rushing over, Old Zhou hurriedly spread his arms, picked up the granddaughter who rushed into his arms, and put her on his lap. "Was it fun at Daddy's unit?"

"Fun!" Su Su said with a thick tongue. "Many sisters and aunts brought me many delicious things."

"You little foodie." Old Four walked over and patted Su Su on her little butt.

Su Su didn't give in at all and shouted at her little aunt, "You are the big foodie."

"Eh?" Old Four widened her eyes, raised her palm, and was about to hit.

"What are you doing?" Old Zhou hugged Su Su tightly in his arms and then glared at Old Four. "You hit her and let me see?"

Old Four curled her lips and pointed at Su Su, who was hiding in her grandfather's arms and making faces at her. "Su Su, you wait for me. When there's no one around, see how I deal with you."

"I'm not afraid of you." Su Su didn't show weakness, tilted her little head, and the provocation was very obvious.

Old Four huffed and walked into the gate. "Go find your mom tonight, don't sleep with me anymore."

"Ah?" As soon as Su Su heard this, she immediately climbed down from her grandfather and chased after her with her little legs. "Little aunt, wait for me, I'll be good with you."

Just then, Zhou Andong walked over, glanced at the tricycle covered tightly behind Old Cricket, and said with a smile, "Old Cricket, it seems that the things this time are also extraordinary."

Old Cricket laughed. "Let's talk inside."

Zhou Andong nodded and said to Wang Wentian, "Move everything on the car to the third courtyard."

"Okay!" Wang Wentian agreed, led people to untie the rope on the tricycle, lifted the rainproof cloth, and revealed seven or eight simple wooden boxes inside.

Zhou Andong took a look, pushed Old Zhou into the courtyard, Old Cricket followed behind, and they came to the third courtyard together.

Soon, Wang Wentian led people to move the seven wooden boxes of different sizes in and placed them on the open space of the courtyard.

Zhou Andong pointed to a medium-sized wooden box in front of him and said, "Open this one first."

Lian Kai took a crowbar and pried open the wooden box that had been nailed shut, revealing a layer of broken cotton wool.

Wang Wentian squatted down, took away the layer of broken cotton wool, and a birdcage appeared before his eyes.

Old Cricket bent down and picked up the birdcage. "This birdcage is from the Ming and Qing dynasties; I don't know whose it was specifically. But you look carefully, the material of this birdcage is agarwood.

The top, cage frame, cage bars, cage door, cage hook, bottom ring, cage bottom, and sunning pole all have exquisite carvings. And these bird food jars and water tanks are made of jade, and it's imperial green. So, the owner of this birdcage should be some prince or minister."

Zhou Andong took it and looked at it, then put it aside, then picked up an antique and very exquisite wooden box, which felt heavy in his hand. He opened the wooden box, and inside was an abacus. The frame was made of gold, and as for the abacus beads, they also looked like jade, but they were purple. This was the first time Zhou Andong had seen this.

Old Cricket said, "There's nothing to say about this one, it's mainly the abacus beads, they are imperial purple jade, and the collection value is very high."

Zhou Andong said with a smile, "Keep this for my daughter as a dowry."

At this time, Wang Wentian and the others had already opened all the wooden boxes, most of which were porcelain, but two things caught Zhou Andong's attention. One was a copper glazed Buddha one foot and three inches high, and the other was a double-sided Guanyin statue of the same height and material.

Zhou Andong bent down and picked them up, the expression on his face becoming solemn. "These two things were dug out of the ground, right?"

"No!" Old Cricket shook his head. "These two things are from the Tang and Song dynasties, and they were collected in the countryside for fifty yuan."

"This thing is a real national treasure." The expression on Zhou Andong's face eased. It wasn't that he had any taboos about things dug out of the ground. It was because if this copper Buddha statue had been dug out of the ground, there wouldn't just be two; it would prove that a large number of bronze wares had been lost.

Zhou Andong carefully put down the copper Buddha statue. "Wentian, you and Lian Kai send these things to the vault."

"Yes!" Wang Wentian and Lian Kai nailed all the wooden boxes shut again, then each held a box and walked toward the back building.

"Old Cricket, let's go into the room and talk. Eat at home tonight and have a drink with my dad." Zhou Andong helped Old Zhou stand up and entered the reception hall. The three sat on the sofa. "How much is the goods this time, just say a total."

Old Cricket said, "112~!"

Zhou Andong directly wrote a check for 1.2 million and handed it to Old Cricket. "Still go to the Overseas Trust Bank in Xiangjiang to withdraw the money." ===== CHAPTER 2525 =====
