Chapter 2434: The Gong Family (3)
“Fifty percent is an optimistic outco.”
“Then, I’ll entrust him to you,” Gong Jie said.
After removing her gloves and throwing them aside, she spun herself around to et his gaze squarely and asked with a chuckle, “Any reward for ?”
“Reward?”
“Shouldn’t there be a treat for when you pass a boring and dull assignnt?”
“Nope. There isn’t any,” replied the man heartlessly.
The woman’s face turned bleak instantly. “You aren’t sincere in asking for help at all.”
“I’ll bring you the top wine from Valenti next ti.”
“I’m sick of that.”
“Ma’am, you are so hard to please.” After saying that, the man turned to walk away.
The lady gave chase and signaled to him with a look. “Since you’re back here, why don’t we have a drink together?”
“I can’t...”
She thought he was still worried over Yun Yecheng and quickly reassured him. “Don’t worry; I’ll take care of the old man.”
He shook his head. “I have to go ho.”
Her face changed instantly. “Oh, right. I forgot that you haven’t been ho for a while. Your father must be thinking of you.”
They reached the gate, and the man turned around and indicated, “You can leave here; I have to go back now.”
“Alright.”
...
The Gongs’ main residence was located on a private island at Atlantis. For the purpose of concealnt, the entire island was blanketed with a network shield.
The size of the island was even bigger than so small nations in the world. The island itself had been made into a kingdom by the Gongs, with its security, defense, vacation facilities and entertainnt, et cetera... In other words, this place had everything.
There were still so native aborigines staying on this island when the clan first started to develop the place. All of them were extradited to other countries by the family.
In addition, the surrounding seas were manned by ships day and night. The island’s ergency functions would be activated the mont sothing abnormal was detected.
Any transpassers would be rcilessly destroyed with missiles. There were also a number of cargo ships, which lost their way and strayed into their sea territory by mistake; they, too, were chased off without delay.
This island was considered the Gongs’ headquarters.
If one was to look at the whole island from a helicopter, one could easily spot an extrely majestic and magnificent castle at the center of the island.
The castle was built during the Saint Louis era, which the Gongs spent an astronomical sum to auction under their na. When the clan developed the island, they went at great lengths to move the entire historic castle over, then they began a series of reconstruction and refurbishnt.
When Gong Jie first ca to know that the castle, which he had stayed in since young, was in fact moved to this island from a land thousand of miles away, he was astounded for a very long ti. He simply could not figure out how his father had managed to perform that feat.
When he reached the castle, and just as he stepped through the front gate, the butler, who seed to have anticipated his arrival, spotted him. After giving him a formal bow, the butler said respectfully, “Second Master, the old master is waiting for you in his study room.”
“Alright.”
He then went up to the fourth floor.
He pushed open the spacious study room’s door and inside was a middle-aged man sitting in a chair in front of a long study table. The older man was looking out the window behind, with his back toward the door.
The middle-aged man still looked graceful despite his age.
Unlike an average middle-aged man, whose body usually beca out of shape, coming along with bloatedness and a flabby belly, his figure was well-maintained. There was an aura of llow charm in his mannerism, much like aged wine.
