"Alright, I'll be waiting."
Anyone else hearing that would assume Er Zhu was joking, but Li Mei knew he was telling the truth!
"Er Zhu, I have something to attend to shortly. You and Miss Li can go view the villa on Pingshan yourselves. I'll have Mei Shu find you later."
Just as Li Mei was about to say something, Old Fang, who was in the passenger seat, turned around and handed the keys to Er Zhu with a sheepish smile.
Old Fang had spent his entire life in the back seat. Today, he had chosen the passenger seat to show his respect for Er Zhu and Li Mei.
The driver, glancing at Er Zhu and Li Mei, broke out in a cold sweat.
These two looked like important guests! He couldn't afford any mistakes!
But at that moment, no one was paying attention to the driver's thoughts. Everyone's gaze was fixed on Er Zhu, especially Old Fang.
On the car ride, Li Mei had asked Er Zhu about housing. Old Fang had then gifted Er Zhu a villa on Pingshan. He had originally promised to accompany Er Zhu to see it, but something unexpected had come up.
"Grandpa Fang, you don't need to be polite. If you have something to do, go ahead. We'll check out the house ourselves."
Er Zhu didn't mind. He took the keys and looked in the direction of Pingshan.
Pingshan in Huabei City was a place where every inch of land was gold, and it wasn't a place you could buy just because you had money!
Living there was a symbol of status and prestige in itself!
The driver dropped Er Zhu and Li Mei at the foot of the mountain, and they began walking towards the mountainside.
However, the road was lined with luxury cars. Even those walking were elegantly dressed socialites or heiresses from wealthy families. Er Zhu and Li Mei truly stood out.
Li Mei naturally sensed something was amiss. Her face flushed as she lowered her head and continued walking. Er Zhu, on the other hand, remained unbothered, strolling along leisurely.
"Hey, you two beggars, do you know where you are to just barge in? Get lost!"
Just as Li Mei was about to step further, she heard an impatient scolding voice beside her. She looked up to see a corpulent man in a security uniform striding towards her, his face contorted in anger.
"We're not beggars, we're residents here!"
Li Mei was indignant. She stared at the security guard with wide eyes, arguing.
Having been with Er Zhu for so long, she had seen a bit of the world. Although these security guards were for a luxury villa complex, they were, in the end, just security guards.
"Haha, residents? With your kind of poverty, you couldn't afford a single square foot here even with a lifetime of earnings. Don't cause trouble, and get lost, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Before Li Mei could finish speaking, the security guard burst into laughter. He contemptuously pointed to the smallest villa, his lips curled in utter disdain.
"Old Zhang, what are you shouting about? This is a high-class community, not some ordinary neighborhood."
Just as the security guard was about to retort, another guard emerged from the security booth. This guard was burly and looked like he had some combat training!
"Little Zhao, that beggar claims she's a resident here, haha, that's hilarious!"
Hearing his colleague's voice, Old Zhang hurried over, stifling his laughter as he pointed at Li Mei. The more he spoke, the funnier he found it, and eventually, he erupted into boisterous laughter.
Upon hearing this, Little Zhao almost choked on his water, laughing. The two of them crouched on the ground for a good while without getting up.
Seeing this, Li Mei was filled with shame and indignation. But the key was in Er Zhu's hand, and she didn't know what to say.
"Still not leaving, huh? Let me show you my power!"
After laughing for who knows how long, seeing that Li Mei still hadn't moved, Old Zhang drew his baton and charged at her.
"Hit them, hit them hard! Daring to cause trouble here is simply outrageous!"
Little Zhao, seeing Li Mei refusing to leave, also became furious and shouted his encouragement.
Even though they were security guards, they were guards for a luxury villa complex. It wouldn't matter if someone were to be beaten to death, as no one would dare to investigate!
"What are you doing? We are truly residents here! Why are you hitting me!"
"Ah, my hand!"
Seeing the security guard rush towards her, Li Mei's eyes were filled with terror. She backed away, calling for help from Er Zhu behind her. But before she could finish, she heard the security guard's heart-wrenching wail.
"Er Zhu..."
Looking at Er Zhu, who had appeared beside her at some point, Li Mei felt a sense of overwhelming security!
"Sister Mei, you stay here. I'll deal with these small fries!"
Er Zhu smiled faintly, tightening his grip on Old Zhang's wrist, causing the man to break out in a cold sweat from the pain!
"Just security guards, and you dare to lay a hand on my Sister Mei? You're seeking death!"
Er Zhu swung Old Zhang's wrist, sending him doing a backflip and crashing heavily onto the ground. The marble beneath shattered instantly, sending fragments flying everywhere!
"Damn it, Captain, someone's here provoking us!"
Little Zhao, who had been watching from the side, was filled with rage!
After shouting towards the security booth, he charged forward with his baton. But just then, Er Zhu moved again!
With a swift kick, Er Zhu sent the baton flying from Little Zhao's hand. Little Zhao spun around and quickly threw two punches!
To his surprise, both punches landed squarely on Old Zhang's back!
A flicker of shock flashed through Little Zhao's angry eyes. For the first time, he hesitated to underestimate this so-called "country bumpkin"!
Because the guy's speed and agility were truly incredible!
He hadn't even seen when this kid had pulled Old Zhang up from the ground!
"Ah, you country bumpkin, I'll fight you to the death!"
The dual pain drove Old Zhang mad. He quickly pulled out a fruit knife from his pocket and lunged at Er Zhu.
"Enough, Old Zhang!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to act, a pair of large hands grabbed Old Zhang's arm. He looked up to see a middle-aged man, around forty to fifty years old, standing beside Old Zhang.
The man was powerfully built, looking like a retired soldier, with a righteous aura about him.
Not far away, seeing someone intervene, Li Mei's anxious heart finally settled.
"Captain, this beggar has almost beaten me to a pulp! I will kill him!"
Old Zhang gritted his teeth and yelled, the fruit knife in his hand moving forward slowly.
He had worked here for over twenty years and had never sustained such a severe injury!
"Alright, everyone who lives here are wealthy individuals. Some of them prefer to keep a low profile, don't you know that?"
The security captain held Old Zhang's hand tightly, gritting his teeth as he reprimanded him. Hearing this, Old Zhang ceased his struggle and stared at the captain in fear.
If the captain hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten. Some big shots lived extremely low-key lives. Last month, Old Wang was fired for offending such a low-profile individual!
"Fine, you say you are residents here. Show me the key. If you can't produce it, you'll be waiting to die!"
Old Zhang suppressed his anger, finally sheathing his fruit knife and menacingly threatening Li Mei.
