Chapter 210: 125, An unexpected encounter with Chen Shanhe! Going home for New Year’s, showing off in a Maybach!_4

Immediately following,

a few bodyguards came over with instruments and began a comprehensive check of their car.

Mr. Hai Dong explained with a smile, “Lin, don’t take this personally. The individual we’re meeting today is indeed a real big shot. The security measures are quite strict; please be patient.”

Lin Mo nodded, not taking it too seriously, and even pretended to be someone unfamiliar with such grandeur, although his mind was calculating another matter.

The average price of a house in Xintiandi is about 120,000 per square, and just the part of the estate he could see was at least two thousand square meters, which would be at least a few billion even without the interior decor.

What’s more important is that this is Xintiandi, and without some truly heavenly power, one probably wouldn’t even have the qualifications to buy an estate here.

It really proves that saying,

“In the Imperial Capital never boast about your high rank, in Rakshasa City never boast about your wealth.”

Such estates are highly sought after, but most of the time, it’s not about the lack of money but rather issues of identity and status.

Either it’s someone who has built their empire from scratch, or their ancestors were eminent figures, a legacy that continues to this day.

Involuntarily, Lin Mo started to grow curious,

who exactly was this collector they were meeting today?!

After a very thorough check, Lin Mo and Mr. Hai Dong got out of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Next to them stood a woman in her thirties, dressed neatly and with exquisite makeup, exuding an aura of sophistication.

She bowed slightly and politely said, “Esteemed guests, please follow me.”

To be honest,

the woman before him was not the most beautiful Lin Mo had seen, nor was she his type, but she radiated nobility from the inside out.

She had the poise of the most esteemed lady of Kore Country.

The female secretary led the way, with Lin Mo and Hai Dong following behind her.

The estate was large,

even larger than Lin Mo had initially estimated.

While not overly abundant in buildings, each one resonated with the charm of Eastern architecture.

The ridged roofs were tiled in red, and the tiger windows entwined with vines.

It was hard to imagine that such a tranquil, elegant estate could be hidden within the bustling area of Rakshasa City.

It’s not just that poverty limits imagination; without solid connections, mere wealth certainly couldn’t achieve this.

Or perhaps, one must be the “connection” itself!

Passing through three courtyards, the three of them arrived at the back garden.

Although it was winter, the garden still looked vibrant and full of life, with winter sweet, camellia, cyclamen, and some plants Lin Mo couldn’t name.

At that moment,

an age-indistinguishable elder, dressed modestly, sat leisurely in the courtyard, examining a chessboard.

Based on appearances alone, one would never imagine that such an old man could own such a luxurious estate.

Lin Mo looked carefully again, certain that this elder was not one of the famed collectors he had imagined, but probably someone with significant standing that one could only encounter after certain achievements.

“Esteemed guests, please wait here,” the secretary asked them to stay at the corridor, then approached the elder.

Lin Mo, looking at the elder not far away, quietly asked, “Mr. Hai Dong, what’s the story with this person?”

“Lin… please don’t hold it against me, but to speak honestly, I don’t know the specifics either,” Hai Dong said awkwardly, scratching his head and lowering his voice, “However, rest assured, he is definitely a major collector. The four great antique families of Yuhang respect him greatly.”

Huh?

Even Hai Dong didn’t know this person’s background?

Lin Mo asked further, “Then how did you make contact with him?”

“It wasn’t me who contacted him; he contacted me.” After entering the estate, Hai Dong became very serious, and his normally jokey demeanor seemed to have disappeared, “During one of my live streams, I encountered a precious antique sword. Later, the old master sent someone to contact me, asking me to try and acquire the sword for him.”

“He offered a price three times the market value!”

“That’s when the old master told me, if I came across good items like swords, to contact his secretary.”

So that was it,

quite mysterious indeed.

I wonder how he compares to Chen Shanhe?

Surely he can’t be as intimidating as Chen Shanhe, right?

But then again…

In such a grand era, a person who can own such an estate in a place like this couldn’t be that simple, could he?

It’s worth noting that in the past, there were many people who owned large estates, but later they would voluntarily confiscate them or donate them to the state as parks for public viewing and tourism.

This estate, if opened to the public, would definitely be one of the top attractions in Rakshasa City!

This also shows that a big shot who owns an estate like this is undoubtedly an extraordinary individual!

Lin Mo, being tactful, did not press further. He also didn’t intend to socialize too much with this powerful figure; after viewing the item and receiving the payment, he planned to leave.

The world is full of powerful people, and before understanding them, or until his own strengths were fully developed, it was better to keep a safe distance.

There’s no need to court trouble.

If he had known it was such an influential figure, frankly speaking, Lin Mo wouldn’t have wanted to come.

But now it was too late to leave.

After a while,

the spirited female secretary came back, still very courteous, saying, “Esteemed guests, this way please.”

As the three of them entered the pavilion one after the other, the enigmatically present elder looked up, speaking kindly, “Young man, what is your name?”
