Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 378 - 376: The Manor

Han Kai’s uncle, or more precisely, his Fifth Uncle.

This Fifth Uncle Han left Dragon Country early on, and traveled through many countries in Southeast Asia, setting up numerous business ventures.

Now, with the economic growth in Southeast Asia, Fifth Uncle Han has been making a lot of money...

This information about Fifth Uncle Han all came from Han Kai.

Tie Xiong listened and just smiled.

He’s no longer the naive person he once was, having gone through so much.

In his opinion, this Fifth Uncle Han is certainly not as simple as Han Kai claims.

To run a business successfully in various countries in Southeast Asia requires more than just money; it requires significant power.

Moreover, the fact that Fifth Uncle Han almost never returns to the country further proves that his business is not just unsavory, but possibly even illicit.

However, he wasn’t concerned about Fifth Uncle Han’s business dealings.

He only wanted to find his daughter...

"Master Wu owns several estates and lands in Minma."

"One of them is located in Koukang."

"So we are heading to the nearby estate in Koukang, and after Master Wu finishes his business dealings, he’ll fly over to see you, Third Young Master."

Old Li, while driving with a smile, explained to Han Kai.

"That’s good!"

"I haven’t seen Fifth Uncle in a while either."

Han Kai nodded gently, his face full of joy.

"By the way, may I ask what Mr. Tie does for a living?"

Old Li glanced at Tie Xiong through the central rear-view mirror and asked with a smile.

He always felt that Tie Xiong was not just an ordinary person.

Moreover, judging by his appearance and demeanor, he seemed more like someone who takes lives, rather than saves them.

"Just an ordinary office worker."

Tie Xiong, upon hearing the question, casually answered without hiding anything.

"Ordinary... office worker?"

Hearing this answer, Old Li was somewhat taken aback.

He couldn’t help but think to himself, given your looks, who would believe you’re just an ordinary office worker?

Are you trying to trick me like I’m a three-year-old?

The more Old Li thought about it, the more he felt that Tie Xiong had an ulterior motive for getting close to Han Kai.

So he immediately became alert and decided to report his suspicions to Master Wu in a timely manner.

Not intending to alert his target, Old Li quickly changed the subject and began discussing the customs and stories of Koukang.

After driving for about half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Third Young Master, Miss Wu, Mr. Tie, we have arrived!"

Old Li got out of the car first and then respectfully opened the door for the three of them.

As soon as they stepped out of the car, a stretch of continuous reinforced concrete high walls greeted them.

Above the high walls, there were structures resembling fortresses or guard towers set every thirty or forty meters.

Occasionally, you could see one or two security personnel in uniforms with rifles slung over their shoulders peering out to observe.

Goodness gracious!

Tie Xiong was stunned.

A place to live that’s secured this tightly...

Who would believe it’s legitimate business?

Not only Tie Xiong, but also Han Kai and Wu Lili were dumbfounded.

This was their first time here as well.

Look at those high walls, those guard towers, and the security...

Are you sure this is a residential estate and not a hideout for some criminal organization?

Old Li seemed to notice their confusion and smiled as he explained: "Third Young Master, Miss Wu, Mr. Tie, you know that Minma has been unstable in the past."

"To ensure a normal and stable life, Master Wu added a bit more security..."

A bit?

Tie Xiong couldn’t help but internally ridicule.

"Please follow me, you three!"

Old Li finished and led the three into the estate.

The high walls, guard towers, etc., outside the estate were already quite shocking.

Upon entering, Tie Xiong was even more astonished.

Though the estate was located in Koukang, its architectural design was of the typical Jiangnan garden style of Dragon Country.

The garden was lush and natural, its water clear and vast, filled with lotus flowers, and surrounded by greenery with vines hanging along the water’s edge.

What amazed Tie Xiong the most was that the estate even housed a zoo!

Elephants, tigers, peacocks, golden eagles, and countless other animals were present.

The variety surpassed any domestic zoo that Tie Xiong had visited with his daughter years before.

"Third Young Master, Miss Wu, Mr. Tie, you three must be tired by now?"

"How about I take you to rest first, and then we’ll have a meal?"

After a brief tour of the garden with the three, Old Li smilingly suggested.

"Good!"

Without giving it much thought, Han Kai nodded in agreement.

After a day fraught with fears and thrills, on the run and even getting beaten, he was utterly exhausted.

So he was eager to rest.

"Alright then, please follow me..."

Old Li made a gesture of invitation and then led the three to a pavilion on the southwest side of the estate.

After arranging their accommodations, he hurried off to prepare the meal.

Han Kai and Wu Lili lay down on the comfortable beds and soon drifted into dreamland.

Tie Xiong, on the other hand, sat alone in his room.

Once he was sure no one else was around, he took out the Evil Ghost statue.

"Blood Spirit Master... Blood Spirit Master..."

He called out to the statue several times but received no response from the red-dressed girl.

Helpless, he shook his head, hid the statue, and lay down on the bed, contemplating the next steps.

...

Lu Heng was not answering Tie Xiong as the "red-dressed girl" because at that moment, he was disguised as Zhenyuan, seeing Director He and others off on a return flight to Beijing.

After receiving samples of five types of pills from Xiao Yan, Director He and his group were eager to return to Yanjing to report.

Upon boarding the private plane, though Director He was smiling moments ago, his face quickly clouded.

"Li, did something happen at the bureau again?"

Director He inquired of a young man beside him.

If Lu Heng were aboard, he’d recognize this young man as Director Li, who had once informed him.

For some unknown reason, Director Li hadn’t managed to transfer out of the Religious Affairs Bureau as he had hoped.

Last night, he took a late-night flight to Nanxiang City to bring a piece of particularly troubling news to Director He and Group Leader Qi.

"Director He, do you remember that notebook of the Old Taoist Zhenyuan?"

Director Li didn’t directly answer but instead asked a question in return.

"Notebook?"

Director He frowned, falling into memory.

After roughly two or three minutes, he recalled something and replied, "Is it the notebook that recorded some ultimate secret, leading the Sect Leaders of Taiyi Dao and others to turn on each other?"

"Yes, that’s the notebook!"

Director Li nodded and continued, "After we found that notebook, didn’t we secretly make a copy of it?"

"Yes, I know about that."

Director He nodded slightly.

"The copy of that notebook was stolen..."
