Chapter 619 - Young Master Bao Mingyu (1/2)
A luxurious manor was being built on a hill in the suburbs of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong was just a small island despite its prosperous economy. Thus, there was not enough land, and it was very expensive to buy a house here. But the owner of this manor possessed this mountain top, which was enough to prove that he was a super-rich.
Mei Zhanlong, who was known as the best practitioner in Hong Kong, was this place’s owner.
There was a huge parking lot in front of the manor and all kinds of luxury cars were parking here now. They all came here to visit Mei Zhanlong.
In the living room of the manor, an old man in his 60s was talking obsequiously to a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his 30s or 40s.
The old man was also a well-known rich individual in Hong Kong. Although he was not a super-rich, he still had more than 10 billion of assets.
But the middle-aged man was impatient with him because his master was Mei Zhanlong and he was the steward of this manor.
He said impatiently, “Mr. Zhang, I’ve told you that Master Mei is practicing his skills and has no time to see you.”
The old man pleaded, “Young man, could you please help me? I do have urgent affairs and need Master Mei’s guidance. I can increase the consulting fee by 10 times! How about 10 million yuan?”
“10 million yuan?” The steward teased him and said indifferently, “Do you really think that Master Mei will change his mind for higher fees? The reason why Master charges fees for consulting is that he doesn’t want too many people to come here. Money means nothing to him.”
The old man nodded repeatedly and said flatteringly, “Yes… yes… yes… I also know that. Master Mei is a detached master and doesn’t care about money. But I do have urgent affairs to consult him. Please, let me in.”
The steward pointed at the door and said impatiently, “There are so many people coming here to see Master Mei every day. How can I let you in? You can just wait and maybe Master will have time to see you two months later.”
“What…”
The old man was helpless and felt awkward but he didn’t say anything. After all, this was Master Mei’s residence and he dare not show his discontent even if he was angry.
He turned around and left. The steward gave a scornful laugh and his eyes were filled with disdain.
Countless people were coming here to visit Master Mei every day. This old man said he had something urgent, but he was such an idiot and didn’t even give him some money. How could he let this old man meet his master?
A servant suddenly ran over and said, “Mr. Steward, Master Zha is dead! The Li family just sent his body back and said he died of an acute illness. What should we do now?”
“What? Master Zha is dead?”
The steward was stunned and immediately stood up. Mei Zhanlong had no children in his entire life and only had two disciples. The eldest one was Yi Chenzi and the other was Zha Liang, who had been called Master Zha.
Mei Zhanlong and Yi Chenzi rarely came out and it was usually Zha Liang who met and made friends with the rich in Hong Kong. No one dared to offend him for Mei Zhanlong’s sake. Besides, he was also strong and skilled himself. How could he have died of sudden illness?
Still, the servant confirmed the news. “He’s indeed dead and his body is now in the back hall. There aren’t any scars on his body and he did seem to have died of a sudden illness.”
The steward thought for a moment and then said, “This really matters and we can’t make any decisions. But Master Mei is practicing and we can’t bother him. Go and invite Yi Chenzi. Be quick.”
The servant said, “He has just come out to attend an auction. Brother Yi never brings his cell phones with him, so I think we can only meet him in the evening.”
The steward thought for a moment and said, “We can’t bother Master Mei now. Put the body in place and we’ll wait for Brother Yi to make a decision.”
Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang came to the auction house together. This auction house, which belonged to the Li family, was high-end and only those successful and rich could get in.
Moreover, only members could get the invitation letter and attend the auction.
They had decided to attend the auction several hours ago, so they hadn’t received the invitation letter and were not allowed to enter. Qin Haodong followed Li Meiyu’s instructions and called Tian Ye, who was in charge of the auction.
Tian Ye had already received Li Meiyu’s notice, so he said politely when he got Qin Haodong’s phone call, “Mr. Qin, please wait for a moment. I’ll pick you up now.”
He rushed to the door after hanging up, which astonished his secretary.
This was a high-end auction house and all the people Tian Ye met every day were super-rich in Hong Kong. She had never seen him behave like this before.
Of course, the secretary didn’t know what he was thinking. He had been in charge of the auction house for many years and Old Master Li had only asked him to receive a few guests in person. However, Mr. Qin had unlimited access to the funding of auction, which was unprecedented. He must be careful with this man.
Although he didn’t know Mr. Qin’s background, he was sure that this man was very important to the Li family. He must treat him seriously.
After calling Tian Ye, Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang were waiting at the door. Many people were attracted to this handsome guy and the beautiful girl standing beside him.
At that moment, a young man, who was wearing luxurious clothes, appeared. His clothes alone were worth at least one million yuan and he was also wearing a Patek Philippe limited edition gold watch. It was clear that he came from a rich family.
