After Lily's introduction, he said hello to each of the three persons in charge, which was regarded as acquaintance, and Wei Ran also had a general understanding of them.
??Among these three people, the one responsible for maintaining the two castles and the building at their feet is a French female architect named Léa. The one responsible for providing daily services to Dominic and managing other real estate is Paul, a red-necked man from the United States.
And judging from what the other party said, it seemed that he had a very good personal relationship with lawyer Carlos.
??As for the person in charge of investing and making money, he was a serious middle-aged man who pretended to be from Germany. And Wei Ran could see that this man named Sebastian had an undisguised disgust for Lily.
After introducing each other, Lily once again read out Dominic's will in public, and handed the will signed by the three responsible persons to Wei Ran, and then announced that she would resign and leave the Elk Foundation forever.
??At this point, the visit here also came to an end with the crisp and lonely applause of the German man named Sebastian.
??"Victor" Just when Wei Ran was about to walk out of the conference room, Sebastian called him.
??"What's the matter?" Wei Ran turned to look at the other person and asked.
??Glancing at Lily who had already stood up and walked out of the conference room, Sebastian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Dominic, how is his physical condition?"
"I'm not very good at judging," Wei Ran replied truthfully, "but at least before I left, he could still eat and communicate normally, and... he probably has no regrets."
??"I see"
??Sebastian was obviously relieved. He handed over an ordinary business card with both hands and said, "According to Mr. Dominic's will, I will be responsible for the daily management of the future foundation. On February 4th every year,
I will report and communicate with you on time. In addition, you are welcome to come to the foundation at any time to exercise your supervision rights."
??"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Wei Ran shook hands with the other party and handed his business card to the other party.
??Farewell to this serious man and the Elk Foundation that he will soon be in charge of, Wei Ran greeted sisters Suisui and Katenka, and under Lily's guidance once again got into the commercial vehicle that brought them here.
??But at this time, there was a woman in the car who was so frightened by Beria that she was so stiff that she didn't dare to move - the French female architect Léa who was responsible for maintaining the two castles.
??It wasn’t until Wei Ran hugged Beria, who was concentrating on chewing the bones, that the woman with an afro breathed a sigh of relief, pushed up her glasses with astonishing power, and explained in German, “Because the Timov Castle is...well, special
Sex, yes! Because of the special nature of Timov Castle, I will accompany you to visit it. No one is more familiar with the situation there than me."
"Leya, did you build that castle?" Suisui asked curiously after listening to Katenka's translation.
??"It's my father"
??Leya said after waiting for the car to start, "The construction of that castle started in 1990, and it took nearly ten years to complete it. I had just graduated from college when it was built, and it was also the first time I participated in it.
One, and currently the only, castle was built and decorated.
??After my father passed away unexpectedly, I inherited his job and helped Mr. Dominic manage the castle. "
?? It seems that she already knew what Lily said to Wei Ran and others. The woman named Leya patiently waited for Anfiya to help translate before continuing, "Lily must have said something to you, that's right.
, the man who died in a car accident shortly after seeing the ghost was my father."
?? Seeing Wei Ran, Suisui and others looking at her, Lily, who was busy putting on makeup, said nonchalantly, "Whatever you think, I won't go to that castle until I send you there.
, I also have to be busy with my own things."
??"Then let's go."
??Wei Ran was too lazy to watch the two middle-aged women bickering, so he simply started chatting with Suisui in Chinese that they obviously didn't understand.
??"I think there's something wrong here!"
??Suho, who seemed to be possessed by Kogoro Mori, said decisively, "Do you think there might be some treasure hidden in that castle?"
??"Why this
"What do you mean?" Wei Ran asked curiously, holding the dog Beria in one hand and Suisui in the other.
??"There is no difference between ghosts and humans. They are all useless trash."
??Suisui said matter-of-factly, "Money can make the world go round. I just heard what Leya said. The castle was built not long ago. It's not scientific at all that such a castle with no history can be haunted."
??"How about science when it's haunted?" Wei Ran asked, dumbfounded.
??"certainly!"
?? Suisui clapped her fingers in a serious manner and explained, "According to common sense, any haunted castle must have a history of hundreds of years, right? And then there must be a prince, queen, little princess, etc. inside it?"
And then, what haunted castle doesn’t have rumors of treasures? Are there any ghosts in the treasures?”
??"When you say that...it seems like this is really the case?"
??Wei Ran grinned. Although Suisui's words contained elements of exaggeration and ridicule, there seemed to be no reason for a castle that was only built about 20 years to be haunted.
??No, no, no, or should I say this, if a castle that was built no more than 20 years ago is haunted, there must be a good enough reason to say it.
??Thinking of this, he couldn't help but observe Lily sitting in the front row.
??However, through the exquisite small mirror in the other person's hand, apart from a face that still retains charm but inevitably has crow's feet, the only emotion he can interpret is a slightly complicated one.
A look of relief, and a trace of great regret that was covered up by makeup.
??Look at the female architect Leya sitting in the same row as Lily. This woman who looks only five or six years younger than Lily, but is definitely in her forties, only shows no
Concealing the apprehension and nervousness.
??Looking at each other with Suisui who also saw something, Wei Ran asked in Chinese, "How many days do you really plan to live in that haunted castle?"
??"Let's try it!"
?? Suisui, who was quite eager to try, deliberately joked, "Anyway, Beria is here. Didn't our grandma say that black dog blood can drive away evil spirits? What a big deal..."
?? She didn't even finish her words. Beria, who was gnawing on the bones just a second ago, was already holding his big head, sitting up vigilantly, holding the bones in his mouth and looking at Suisui eagerly.
??We rushed to the airport in a hurry, and everyone took off again on Mr. Dominic's private plane to Austria.
??However, when the plane landed at Salzburg’s Mozart Airport, Weihan realized that although the castle in the Gastein Valley did fall under the jurisdiction of the Salzburg state, it was far away from Salzburg.
city, but it is at least 80 kilometers away.
??In other words, this castle is almost located in the Alps. And since the foundation sold the helicopter originally prepared for the castle a few years ago, they now want to rush there, or rent a car and drive in the mountains
You have to travel at night, or you have to wait for the passenger sightseeing train the next morning.
??In this case, Weiran naturally chose to take a night's rest. After all, flying around on a private plane sounds comfortable, but in fact, even the dog Beria is so tired that his big bones no longer feel good.
As for the two big-eared foxes who had been huddled in the Katenka sisters' arms throughout the whole process, their ears were now flying with their heads and heads turned up.
??"Since you have decided to go to the castle tomorrow, I won't waste time following you."
??Outside the airport, Lily pointed behind her and said bluntly, "I have to rush back to the United States while that private plane is still available, otherwise when that country girl inherits the house in Houston, the jewelry I left there will
I’m afraid it’s time to change its owner.”
??After saying that, the woman simply turned around and walked into the airport again without waiting for Wei Ran's response.
??Until the opponent's back was completely blocked by the surrounding passenger flow, Leya, who was still standing next to Wei Ran and others, visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
??"Why don't you explain?" Wei Ran asked while holding Suisui in his arms.
??"Nothing to explain"
??Leya spread her hands and led a group of people into a van waiting for them, "Before the castle was built, Lily always thought it was a gift from Mr. Dominic to her.
??But in fact, more
??Mr. Minik just moved a lot of things there, but he had no intention of moving into that castle."
After pausing for a moment and giving an address to the young man driving the car, Leia continued, "Lily has been sad and angry for a long time because of this matter. When she was your age, she could almost dream of getting that castle.
"
??"Then what?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"Later, in order to better maintain the castle and reduce maintenance costs, my father spent a lot of effort to persuade Mr. Dominic to agree to open it as a seasonal ski hotel."
??Leya said, "But unfortunately, before the first quarter of business ended, there were rumors that the castle was haunted.
?? Later, because a tourist almost died of a heart attack due to seeing a ghost, and my father also had accidents one after another, the castle was never opened to the public again."
??"Mr. Dominic believes this kind of nonsense?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask.
??"Does it matter whether he believes it or not?"
?? Leia asked with a trace of resentment, "After the rumors of haunting appeared, Lily has been encouraging Mr. Dominic to sell the castle at a low price - until she was banned from approaching that castle and being with that castle again.
Anything related to the castle. Since then, the castle has been completely idle.”
??"Lily suggested selling the castle at a low price?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "You won't be selling it to her, right?"
??"I have no idea"
??Leya spread her hands, "But it was indeed because of that castle that Mr. Dominic was thrown into the foundation. She was just the front desk of the foundation at first. Later, as Mr. Dominic's health became worse and worse, she
Then he gradually became the person in charge of the foundation."
??"Let's see"
??After Suisui finished listening to Anfiya's translation, she said as if she had expected it, "Let me just say, there is no difference between ghosts and people. They are all trash that has no profit and cannot afford to be early."
??Although Leia couldn't understand Chinese, she clearly guessed the general content of what Suisui said, but she sighed, "Although I insist that the castle is not haunted, some unexplainable things did happen there.
「
??"Something that cannot be explained?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "What is something that cannot be explained?"
??"You will find out when you get there tomorrow." Leya gave up at this moment, "I don't know how to explain everything that happened there."
