Overlord Star

Chapter 720 Inheriting the Estate

Jiang Yi's brow furrowed slightly.

Jiang Yi felt very upset right now.

His father had been killed because of his uncle's greed.

He had to avenge this.

Upon returning to the capital, the first thing Jiang Yi intended to do was apprehend Bo Ren, dismantle Wan Hui Company, and then settle accounts with his uncle.

The hatred for his father's murder was irreconcilable.

Jiang Yi's gaze sharpened, his eyes filled with endless killing intent.

Dongfang Mei was startled by Jiang Yi's demeanor.

"Calm down. We'll avenge Dad sooner or later," Dongfang Mei said. "If Dad knew, he wouldn't want you to be blinded by hatred."

Hearing Dongfang Mei's words, Jiang Yi slowly calmed down.

"Shall we go see the castle?" Dongfang Mei suggested.

Dongfang Mei wanted Jiang Yi to explore around and relax a bit.

She didn't want to see him like this.

Even Dongfang Mei had been scared by Jiang Yi just now. In all the time she had known him, this was the first time she had seen him in such a state.

"Okay!"

Jiang Yi nodded in agreement.

Two hours later, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei arrived in the suburbs. As soon as they got out of the car, a tall and magnificent castle appeared in their sight.

The castle looked very grand. Only the powerful and influential nobility had the right to live in such a large castle.

This castle was in no way inferior to Stephen's castle.

In the castle courtyard, a man in his sixties was directing gardeners to clean the castle. Everyone was working diligently.

There were hundreds of gardeners and servants.

This was no small operation.

"Jiang Yi, did we come to the wrong place?" Dongfang Mei couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi took out the contract and examined it carefully, then looked at the house number on the castle gate.

"That's right, it's here!"

Jiang Yi smiled slightly.

He hadn't expected his father to leave him such a large castle.

Eagerly, Jiang Yi strode towards the castle entrance.

However, as soon as he reached the main gate, he was stopped by the security guards.

"What are you doing here?" the guard asked rudely.

"I am the owner of this castle," Jiang Yi replied.

Hearing this, the guard burst into laughter.

He simply didn't believe Jiang Yi was the owner of this castle, which had been without an owner for many years!

Seeing the guard's disbelief, Jiang Yi asked, "Who is your manager?"

"It's Old Li. Old Li is the castle's butler," the guard said.

"Could you please inform Old Li that my name is Jiang Yi, and I have my father's contract?" Jiang Yi asked.

Upon hearing that Jiang Yi had the contract, the guard hesitated for a moment, then turned and went back into the courtyard.

Not long after, a white-haired old man walked out of the courtyard.

This old man looked around seventy years old, but he was still strong and his eyes were sharp.

This was Old Li.

Old Li sized up Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei, then asked, "You say your name is Jiang Yi. Where is the evidence?"

Jiang Yi was taken aback.

This was England, and he truly had no evidence to present.

Suddenly, Jiang Yi thought of his visa.

His real name was on the visa.

After thinking, Jiang Yi took out his visa and handed it to Old Li. Sudan Novel Network

Old Li examined it closely, his brow furrowing slightly, and then returned the visa to Jiang Yi.

"The visa does indeed have the name Jiang Yi, but that doesn't prove you are the owner of the castle."

Jiang Yi then produced the contract.

After reading it, Old Li's brow furrowed again. "Is there any other evidence?"

Jiang Yi was speechless. He had shown the visa and the contract, yet Old Li still didn't believe him.

"How can I convince you?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Although I haven't met Young Master Jiang Yi, I heard the master mention years ago that Young Master Jiang Yi has a mole behind his right ear," Old Li said.

Jiang Yi shrugged.

He didn't even know about the mole behind his ear.

Because whether he looked in a mirror or used other methods, he couldn't see if there was a mole behind his ear.

"Can you check for me?" Jiang Yi said to Dongfang Mei.

Hearing this, Dongfang Mei leaned closer. After a careful look, she smiled and said, "You do have a mole behind your ear, and it's shaped quite strangely."

Upon hearing this, Old Li leaned closer.

After he saw it clearly, Old Li's attitude changed completely. He tightly grasped Jiang Yi's hand, his eyes tearing up, and said, "Young Master, I've waited for so many years. You've finally come!"

"What is this castle?" Jiang Yi asked.

"The Master said back then that he might encounter trouble, so he intended to leave some property for you and your mother. To avoid attracting attention, he bought this castle and a large piece of land. He entrusted the castle and these lands to me, asking me to manage them well, saying that you and your mother would come sooner or later," Old Li explained.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath.

His father was indeed shrewd.

"Young Master, I apologize for earlier. I had to be cautious to confirm your identity," Old Li said apologetically.

"It's alright, I understand!" Jiang Yi smiled slightly.

Afterward, Old Li led Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei through the main gate.

As they walked, Old Li informed Jiang Yi about the castle and the estate.

For years, Old Li had managed the castle and the estate, diligently taking care of them and keeping them in perfect order. The thousands of acres of land had never been left fallow.

Old Li had transformed this land into an estate, cultivating many things, including crops, fruits, medicinal herbs, and more.

The estate generated substantial income annually.

Upon reaching the castle's grand hall, Old Li produced the account books, which recorded all the income from those years.

Jiang Yi took the ledger and found that the estate had accumulated wealth amounting to tens of billions, all in the local currency, which was a considerable fortune.

"Old Li, thank you for your hard work over the years!" Jiang Yi said to Old Li.

"The Master saved my life back then. This little hardship means nothing!"

"Young Master, now that you're back, I can finally hand over the castle and the estate to you with peace of mind," Old Li sighed.

"I'm just here to visit this time and don't plan to take back the castle and the estate. Besides, I have no idea how to manage an estate," Jiang Yi said.

"This is a vast fortune. Don't you want it?" Old Li became anxious.

Old Li had waited for so many years, wanting to personally hand over the castle and the estate to Jiang Yi.

"Jiang Yi has a company in the capital. This company is one of the largest in China, with annual profits of at least tens of billions..." Dongfang Mei said with a smile.
