The computer screen went dark, the man's face disappeared from the screen, and communication was cut off.
"Miss Gu, please take a rest. The dinner starts at nine o'clock in the evening." The green-eyed man sat aside and said.
"...It's still morning."
"We have to make sure nothing goes wrong. Miss Gu must be able to attend today's dinner."
"..."
She must attend their family's family banquet?!
Gu Xiaoai sat back and didn't bother to escape even though she knew she couldn't escape. Her purpose this time was just to take a look at Len. She was not interested in his family dinner at all.
It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that the green-eyed man said to the driver, "It's almost time, go back to the manor."
manor?
As the car drove forward, Gu Xiaoai watched them drive towards a more remote part of London, a place she had never been to before.
After about half an hour's drive, the car wound around a winding road with towering trees on both sides of the road, and uniformly dressed guards standing with guns...
Why are there such strict guards?
Could it be that Len’s family has a background in the British royal family? Otherwise, how could he be so arrogant?
As the car passed through the security gates, more and more precious trees appeared in Gu Xiaoai's sight. Gu Xiaoai sat by the car window and watched quietly.
Breathtaking.
Gradually, a vast medieval castle emerged from the towering woods...
From a distance, the castle surrounded by woods and large fields is solemn and mysterious.
From the time there were guards to now, the drive has taken almost twenty minutes, and all of it is the Len family's land?!
Along the way, serious guards and patrolling bodyguards can be seen everywhere. Surveillance cameras are everywhere. There are even high-rise searchlights set up with lights crossing to patrol...
The car stopped in front of a door, and Gu Xiaoai thought she had arrived.
I saw three guards coming forward. The green-eyed man took out a card or something like that from his pocket, held it out the car window and said, "Young Master's car, please let it go."
…
Immediately afterwards, the car passed through several security gates, and each gate had to be stopped and inspected without hesitation.
Gu Xiaoai opened her mouth slightly and looked at this scene in disbelief.
What kind of manor is this? It's just a kingdom. Not even a fly can enter the palace of the kingdom.
By the time he completely entered the manor, Gu Xiaoai had forgotten how long it took.
The internal defense was even more serious. There was a bodyguard almost five steps away, patrolling back and forth with an expressionless expression. It was extremely exaggerated.
Gu Xiaoai almost doubted whether the president lived here.
"Miss Gu, we're here."
The car drove directly into an indoor parking lot. The blue-eyed man opened the door and respectfully asked Gu Xiaoai to get out of the car.
"This way please. The eldest young master is already waiting for you."
The green-eyed man led the way, with Gu Xiaoai following behind him. Even the parking lot was luxuriously designed.
Although she didn't know much, she could tell that the bricks on the parking wall were not ordinary ones.
The guards in the parking lot also stood guard in an orderly manner.
"Gu Xiaoai, this way."
Gu Xiaoai observed her surroundings. The blue-eyed man took her through an internal passage where no sunlight was visible. Even if it was just a corridor, the oil paintings hanging on both sides were world-class masterpieces.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoai's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of gold, and she stopped in her tracks.
Gu Xiaoai turned around and saw a gold-plated plaque on the wall that looked like a house number, with a Chinese character - Li - outlined in cursive script.
