It was already around three o'clock in the morning, and the Lishi Hutong was quiet under the night. No sound was heard, and there was no sign of people.
After a few hours of heavy snow, it completely covered the entire alley. Standing at the entrance of the alley and looking out, the field of vision was white and covered in silver.
Suddenly, several black SUVs drove in from the west entrance of the alley, which is the entrance on Dongsi Avenue, and instantly broke the tranquility in this alley.
After entering the hutong, the speed of these SUVs immediately slowed down and moved forward slowly, seeming to try to avoid disturbing neighbors in the hutong.
It didn't take a few minutes. The convoy came to the door of 129 Yard in Lishi Hutong and stopped immediately.
As soon as the convoy stopped, several sturdy-looking security personnel immediately opened the doors, got out of the cars first, and quickly checked the situation in the alley.
At the same time, the two courtyards on the left and right sides of No. 129 courtyard and the courtyard door of the courtyard on the opposite side were also opened, and several people walked out from inside.
Without exception, the people who came out of these three courtyards were all in their twenties or thirties. Everyone was tall and had a tough temperament. They were not easy people at first sight!
These guys who suddenly appeared, first looked at the convoy and nodded slightly, then turned to look at the ends of the alley and became alert.
Immediately afterwards, the rear door of an SUV in the middle of the convoy was opened from the inside. Two people sitting in the car got out of the car one after another and stood on the snow.
The last two who appeared were Ye Tian and his sister-in-law, and the 129th courtyard of Lishi Hutong in front of them was the gate of the old Ye family's mansion. They were coming home.
As for the security personnel who came along, don’t ask, it’s Matisse and them naturally.
After leaving the Capital Airport, Ye Tian and the others drove straight to the Forbidden City with the valuable top Chinese antique artworks and rare books.
After the convoy arrived at the Forbidden City, a large number of cultural and cultural personnel immediately moved all the treasures into the safe and stored them carefully.
After finishing these tasks, it is already half past two in the morning.
Next, Ye Tian confessed some things to Jason and David, and then he said goodbye to those guys and returned to Lishi Hutong by car!
After landing and standing firmly, Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation in the alley, then nodded lightly, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
The sister-in-law who stood beside him also scanned the situation in the alley and whispered curiously:
"Xiaotian, your kid honestly explained that in addition to the three courtyards at the door, in our alley, how many yards did you buy? If I'm not mistaken, there are at least three more, right?
Since our family moved into the gate of this mansion, we have discovered that the surrounding conditions are not right. Why are the three courtyard houses on the left and right of our house and the opposite gate of our house all the gangsters?
Although these guys are dressed up as ordinary people, everyone has a fierce aura. They look like soldiers who have just retired from the army, and they are particularly elite.
More importantly, since this year, wherever our family appears, it seems that these guys can always be seen. Even if your grandfather is playing chess with your neighbor, there are lads watching the game.
In addition to the guys who live in these three courtyards, in the past year, there have been many strangers in Lishi Hutong. They live in different yards, all of them big and small."
Just as Sister-in-law said these words, Matisse had already taken out Ye Tian's suitcase and delivered it to him.
Ye Tian did not answer my sister's question immediately, but said to Matisse who came closer:
"Matisse, you and the guys will be scattered in these three courtyards tonight. There are well-equipped rooms in these courtyards, enough for everyone to stay, and the conditions are OK.
Next, you will have a good night's rest, by the way, take a jet lag, and wait for everyone to recover, and we will start the follow-up work. This time we have plenty of time."
As he said, Ye Tian pointed his finger at the three courtyards on the left and right sides and across the door, and nodded at the security personnel standing in front of the three courtyards, and said hello.
"Okay, Steven, I still want to experience the feeling of living in a traditional Chinese house. That feeling must be great"
Matisse nodded in response, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation.
Next, Ye Tian exhorted a few more words, and then bid farewell to Matisse and the others, picked up his suitcase, and walked into the door of the big house with my sister.
After entering the courtyard and turning his hand back to lock the door, Ye Tian then began to answer the questions from my sister.
"Sister, the quadrangle courtyard on the left and right sides of our house, as well as the quadrangle courtyard on the opposite side, are all purchased by my arrangement. The guys who live in it are all my security personnel.
Their only task is to protect the safety of our family. The salary I pay them is the highest in the security industry. Each of them is innocent and worthy of trust.
In addition to these three courtyards, in Lishi Hutong, I also bought five courtyards, which are under the names of different companies and individuals. The security personnel who live in them are also my security personnel."
Upon hearing this, my sister-in-law exclaimed in a low voice.
"Ooh! - you under this kid really willing to actually go to buy eight courtyard, how much money na that add up to hundreds of millions of yuan less have it!?
I said why some old neighbors in the hutong can't be seen recently. It turns out that they have all moved away, and the houses that belonged to them have all fallen into your hands! "
"The purpose of my taking down these courtyard houses is, on the one hand, for safety reasons, in order to protect the safety of everyone in our family, on the other hand, this is also a very good investment strategy.
Now I have accumulated an astronomical amount of cash in my hand, and I must find a way to spend it, otherwise I will be ransacked by the US Internal Revenue Service when the tax filing deadline arrives!
To be honest, I don’t want to contribute too much to the US Internal Revenue Service. I just want to do what I mean. That’s why I invested heavily in the US, Europe and China to minimize my cash.
If possible, I would like to buy the entire Lishi Hutong, and then carry out large-scale renovation and repair, and make it the best and most flavorful hutong in Beijing."
"Your kid's ambition is not small! If you want to buy the entire Lishi Hutong, and completely renovate it, I am afraid that it will cost an astronomical amount of money!
But that’s okay, you invest all the cash in your hand and turn it into various fixed assets, and you can indeed escape the looting of the IRS temporarily.”
Aunt said in a low voice in amazement, somewhat frightened by Ye Tian's plan.
While talking, Ye Tian and sister-in-law had already passed through the Chuhua Gate and entered the front yard.
At this time, the ground of the front yard has been completely covered by snow, and it is a vast expanse of whiteness. Under the illumination of a few antique palace lanterns and floor lamps, it looks extremely beautiful.
Although it was early in the morning and the weather was cold, the north room and the east and west rooms of the front yard were all lit with a warm smell.
Little uncle and the others may not have slept yet, waiting for her to come back, or they might have fallen asleep under the light, but they just forgot to turn off the light.
After stepping down the steps of Suihuamen, Ye Tian did not immediately separate from his sister-in-law. He went to the inner courtyard to see his grandparents, parents, and parents, or went to the next courtyard to see Betty and the others.
As he and his sister-in-law walked to the north room of the front yard, they continued to chat in a low voice, which was the same topic just now.
"The new cafe at the west entrance of Lishi Hutong and the western restaurant at the east entrance of the Hutong were all opened by me. They are all under different personal names. They seem to have nothing to do with me.
Their main function is to monitor strangers entering and exiting the alley and collect all kinds of news! As you know, my opponents and enemies are basically Westerners, and those guys are the ones to guard against.
If those guys come to Beijing to make the idea of our family, with normal logic, they are likely to enter the cafes and western restaurants at both ends of the alley to observe the situation and inquire about the news.
In this way, their every move will be under surveillance. Before they start their actions, my security personnel will take action and take all those guys down.
In addition, I also arranged some security personnel, as ordinary people, to rent houses and live in several courtyards, and secretly monitor the situation in the alleys. This is another layer of protection.
In addition to Lishi Hutong, the two courtyards behind the door of our mansion, that is, the two courtyards with the door open in the front Chow Mein Hutong, were also secretly taken down by me, but they were not rebuilt.
Currently living in the two courtyards in Qian Chow Mein Hutong, there are some security personnel under my team as well as some ordinary tenants. The reason for this arrangement is also to deceive people.
When the time is right, I am going to completely renovate the two courtyards and come to the gate of our house. In that case, the area of the gate of our house can reach nearly 3,000 square meters."
Upon hearing this, my sister-in-law was shocked again, her eyes widened, she looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded, her eyes full of incredible!
Three thousand square meters of mansion door! How big and luxurious it is!
This is within the Second Ring Road of Beijing, and in the East Fourth, a place with a real estate of nearly three thousand square meters, and it is hard to think of it!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"In Dengcao Hutong to the south, I also bought a courtyard and arranged a few security personnel to watch the movement of Dengcao Hutong, so that early warning can be achieved without fail.
It is not only my security personnel who protect our family. There is a courtyard house in each of Lishi Hutong, which has long been rented by the national AN department, and many national AN personnel live in it! "
"Your kid is so frustrating, doing so many things quietly, the handwriting is really too big, thinking about it is scary!"
Sister-in-law punched Ye Tian's shoulder lightly, but her tone was excited, and she was full of appreciation.
While talking, Ye Tian and sister-in-law had arrived at the door of the North Room.
Just as they stepped on the steps, the door of the North Room suddenly opened, and the little uncle in pajamas walked out of the room!
