Chapter 1546: Chapter 659: You don’t want Ji Xinyan to know about your girlfriend, do you?

A few minutes later, Lin Baici parked the car in front of a five-story standalone luxury villa.

"It’s actually number 8? That’s quite a lucky number!"

Yue Yu exclaimed.

The homeowner was already there, a wealthy woman in her forties, surnamed Liu, well-maintained and exceptionally polite, showing no disdain toward Lin Baici and Yue Yu due to their youth.

After exchanging greetings, they entered the house.

Their eyes met with a spacious living room, featuring a very luxurious crystal chandelier.

The three changed into slippers and followed Mrs. Liu around for a tour of the villa.

The layout was outstanding, with great use of space, making Lin Baici more impressed the more he looked: "What do you think?"

"It’s quite good!"

Yue Yu walked around, tugged on Lin Baici’s sleeve while looking at the neighborhood views from the balcony: "Such a nice house, why is she selling it? Is it to manage cash flow?"

"No, it’s because of bad feng shui."

Lin Baici didn’t know much about luxury goods, but Mrs. Liu was adorned with gold and jewels, and her complexion suggested she wasn’t someone troubled.

Feng Ting, overhearing Yue Yu, quietly explained: "I’ve found out that in this neighborhood, there are a total of 78 villas, only three are for sale."

"Two are legal auction properties, the rest is this one, due to feng shui issues!"

Feng Ting really went out of her way to please Lin Baici, checking all aspects thoroughly.

Generally speaking, real estate agents are only responsible for selling homes; any ensuing issues or disputes are not their concern.

"Feng shui?"

Yue Yu was astonished.

"I’m not really sure, but after some inquiries, it’s said that there’s something dirty here!"

Feng Ting advised: "The value for money of this mansion is actually quite high, but the feng shui problem is somewhat unsettling. If you ask me, don’t pick it!"

After looking around, everyone sat in the living room.

Mrs. Liu, being straightforward, got to the point: "What do you think?"

"It’s pretty good!"

Lin Baici nodded: "Small Fish, what’s your take?"

"I also think it’s good, but... I heard there are feng shui issues with this house?"

Usually, Yue Yu wouldn’t ask so bluntly, but with millions at stake, clarity was needed.

"I won’t hide it from you, this house tends to feel chilling at night while sleeping, and sometimes you feel it even after staying a while!"

Mrs. Liu didn’t hold back, mainly because those who could afford this house had connections; even if she didn’t say it, others would find out.

"Chilling?"

Yue Yu looked around, sensed it, could it really be a bit cold?

"Yes!"

If it wasn’t uncomfortable to live in, Mrs. Liu wouldn’t be selling this house.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Baici’s first reaction was that there might be some sort of contamination in the mansion’s rules: "When did it start?"

"I’m not sure!"

Mrs. Liu shook her head.

"May I ask, what does your husband do for a living?"

Lin Baici inquired.

"He runs a company with international business dealings."

Mrs. Liu didn’t say much, but it was clear they were well-established.

"What are his hobbies? Does he like collecting things?"

"No!"

"Do you or your husband receive gifts frequently?"

Lin Baici thought of Wu Shitong; he received a painting and was polluted.

"It’s okay!"

Mrs. Liu didn’t want to digress: "The houses in this area hold their value well; my husband also pulled strings to buy it back then."

"If it weren’t uncomfortable living here, we wouldn’t sell!"

"Understandable!"

Lin Baici nodded. The environment was indeed excellent, silent amid the bustling city, very peaceful.

"I won’t beat around the bush; at market value, this villa is worth 90 million, but I’m asking for 85 million now."

Mrs. Liu quoted, "You’ve seen the house, it’s well-maintained!"

"But the feng shui isn’t good here."

Feng Ting habitually tried to haggle.

"That’s why I knocked off 5 million!"

Mrs. Liu was frustrated.

This house was quite sought after. When news of its sale got out, people came to look, but somehow, the feng shui issue spread, so there was plenty of interest but little intention to buy.

To be honest, those who can afford this house might not be superstitious, but they would certainly avoid risk.

"Hey? I seem to feel a chill too?"

Yue Yu rubbed her arms, up and down.

"I think I feel it too!"

Feng Ting shivered, it was definitely not air conditioning in this season; could it be the feng shui issue?

Damn it!

Could it be that someone died here?

Or perhaps a worker died during construction?

Feng Ting recalled those crime movies she watched, like wealthy folks killing someone and sealing them within the walls.

Mrs. Liu sighed, leaned back on the sofa, too lazy to negotiate.

It was a lost cause.

"80 million, if you agree, you can sign the contract now."

Lin Baici smiled.

"Ah? You are sure about buying it?"

Mrs. Liu was taken aback, thinking was this guy a bold fool?

"Bai Ci, aren’t you afraid of living here?"

Feng Ting urged: "There are several good properties still to look at; no need to hang yourself on one tree!"

"I’m lazy!"

Lin Baici chuckled; he knew for sure that the house had problems, but as Nine Provinces Dragon Wing, he was confident he could handle anything.

Mrs. Liu stared at Lin Baici; seeing that he wasn’t joking, she considered: "I’ll drop another hundred, 84 million."

"Mrs. Liu, I don’t know if someone has set eyes on your home or what, but this house definitely piqued someone’s interest!"

Lin Baici spoke bluntly: "You’ve probably experienced this, haven’t you? This house isn’t easy to sell, right?"

"80 million, I’ll pay in full, leaving you entirely out of it!"

"Otherwise, miss out on me as a buyer, forget about getting a good price; your family’s safety might be at risk."

Mrs. Liu was silent.

She and her husband weren’t fools to accumulate such wealth; these possibilities raised by Lin Baici were also considered.

Could they have been targeted?

"This house is worth 9 million alone; the renovation cost several million more..."

Mrs. Liu tried to negotiate more.

"Mrs. Liu, let’s skip the small talk; are you selling or not, give a definite answer!"

Lin Baici interrupted Mrs. Liu.

"..."

Mrs. Liu was silent.

"Let’s go check other listings."

Lin Baici stood up: "Mrs. Liu, sorry for disturbing!"

"This house is too big, I can’t live here alone, and it’s half an hour away from school by car, I think a large apartment might be just right!"

Yue Yu suggested quietly, holding onto Lin Baici’s arm.

"Do you have any favorites?"

Lin Baici opened his phone album to show Yue Yu: "Pick from these, Sister Ting has checked them, no hidden traps."

Yue Yu took a look; even the cheapest was 20 million: "These are all so expensive!"

"Do you have some misconceptions about my annual salary?"

Lin Baici, now financially robust, was quite confident.

"Honestly, I suggest you buy this Red Coral Bay by Poly; it was just handed over last year, equipped with the latest smart technology, plus a few minutes from Ocean University!"

Feng Ting favored the tech aspect of the large apartment.

"To be honest, being close to the university town means a noisy commute!"

After checking the mansion’s location, driving home would inevitably face traffic.

As they stepped out of the courtyard gate without getting into the car, Mrs. Liu spoke.

"80 million, deal!"

Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Baici: "Must be full payment!"

Lin Baici smiled: "No problem!"

"And whatever happens after will have nothing to do with our family!"

Mrs. Liu decided to quickly sell the house for peace.

Lin Baici nodded: "Sister Ting, show Mrs. Liu the contract!"

"Hello, Mrs. Liu, here’s the contract!"

Feng Ting quickly took out the contract from her briefcase and handed it over to Mrs. Liu.

Her head was a bit dizzy.

She knew Lin Baici would buy a house in the coming days but didn’t expect the first deal would be for a mansion worth 80 million.

This...

This was truly lavish spending, wasn’t it?
