"A monthly salary of thirty thousand? That's quite high indeed."
Su Yi acknowledged the bodyguard's monthly salary.
After some questioning, he understood that these people were backed by a force called the Zheng family.
The young man who suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died from Yue Ling's simple magic during the day was the Zheng family's most beloved youngest son.
Thinking of this, he asked the bodyguard:
"The salary is good, but do you have a house and a car? Your children must be reaching school age, right? How are the schools?"
The bodyguard didn't hide anything and immediately said:
"The house was a gift from the family head, nearly two hundred square meters, and the location is decent. If I had to buy it myself, it would probably cost tens of millions, so I'm already very satisfied."
"I usually drive for the family head, and my wife drives a BMW worth over five hundred thousand, which is not bad."
"The family arranges for the children's schooling, so we don't have to worry about it."
"Our family is never stingy with our own people."
The bodyguard probably knew that this person's identity was special, and the Zheng family was trying to win him over.
So as he spoke, he began to describe how good the Zheng family was to them.
After listening, Su Yi couldn't help but sigh:
"No wonder you are willing to work for the Zheng family, the treatment is indeed good."
"That's right!" The bodyguard was about to continue praising his employer, but Su Yi interrupted him.
"So, if it really came down to it, and you had to die for the Zheng family, you would be willing to, right?"
The bodyguard paused for a moment, then said:
"Although I haven't read many books, I know the principle that a scholar dies for his confidant. The family head has treated me well, so I certainly wouldn't hesitate."
"Is this your personal opinion, or is it the opinion of all the bodyguards? Do other people who work for the Zheng family think the same way?" Su Yi pressed.
"Of course, the family head is so good to all of us," the bodyguard said matter-of-factly.
"Then I'm relieved," Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything more.
Soon, the car arrived at a luxurious manor in the suburbs.
Su Yi realized that these large and powerful families didn't like living in busy and bustling urban areas. Instead, the suburbs suited their tastes better.
He didn't know if it was because they preferred the peace and scenery of the suburbs, or if they could more easily do things outside the law in these remote places.
"Mr. Su, we're here."
If Su Yi had taken the initiative to chat with the bodyguard at the beginning, then later on, the bodyguard was the one trying to find topics to chat with Su Yi.
Attempting to use his silver tongue to persuade this person whom the Zheng family was trying to win over.
However, Su Yi, having already obtained the answer he wanted, completely ignored him.
He didn't respond to a single word the whole way.
Only when he heard him say they had arrived did he open his eyes, leisurely take Yue Ling out of the car.
Without needing the bodyguard to lead the way, he strode into the house as if he were returning to his own home.
In fact, Su Yi was indeed examining the interior of this luxurious manor, occasionally making some comments with Yue Ling. Finally, they came to a conclusion:
What a loss!
Buying that villa for twenty-eight million was definitely a huge loss!
If he had known about this, and there was such a good manor here, why would he have bought a house?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to inherit the Zheng family's estate?
This place was much more luxurious than that villa, and the decorations and layout were more elegant.
Such a manor must cost several hundred million, at least.
And to get such a large piece of land to build a house yourself would require enormous connections.
Only these families with deep foundations could do it.
He couldn't even dream of buying such a large manor house, it was hard to buy even with money.
Under their slow pace, as if they were touring their own home, they finally reached the entrance of the main house.
Through the layers of lights, they could vaguely see people inside.
At the entrance, a haggard-looking middle-aged man was standing, seemingly there to greet Su Yi.
In their original plan, this was not supposed to happen.
They had forcibly invited Su Yi over under the pretense of "suspecting Su Yi of killing Zheng Ziye."
Although they wanted to win him over, they certainly couldn't be too polite at first.
The Zheng family originally intended to give Su Yi a hard time, scare him first, and then see if there was any possibility of cooperation.
If there was, then for the sake of profit, one son wasn't too much to sacrifice.
Moreover, it hadn't been determined whether Su Yi killed Zheng Ziye.
If there was no possibility of cooperation, then the murderer of Zheng Ziye was undoubtedly Su Yi, and the Zheng family had plenty of ways to either hand over this "murderer" Su Yi to the authorities for punishment, or resolve it privately with their own methods.
In short, in the Zheng family's original plan, as long as Su Yi arrived at the villa, then everything would be up to them.
At the very least, they could disgust the Shen family and prevent them from taking off.
The Zheng family wouldn't lose out either way.
Anyway, Zheng Ziye was already dead. Originally, he died without any value, but now he could be considered to have played a small role.
However, after the bodyguard reported Su Yi's behavior along the way to the Zheng family's heads, the family head and the old man discussed it and felt that the possibility of winning over Su Yi was extremely high.
So they immediately changed their original idea and directly had the current head of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuanqing, come to the entrance to greet him.
Although it wasn't the manor entrance, but just the main house entrance.
But the Zheng family never put themselves and Su Yi on the same level from the start. In their view, this was already giving enough face.
As soon as they met, the bodyguard, who had chatted a lot with Su Yi along the way and thought he was already quite familiar with him, quickly introduced:
"Mr. Su, this is our Zheng family's head, Zheng Yuanqing."
Zheng Yuanqing, who had just lost his son, squeezed out a smile on his face and extended his hand at the same time.
However, unlike Su Yi's easygoing and pro-Zheng family attitude that the bodyguard had reported, Su Yi didn't even look at Zheng Yuanqing at this time. After glancing at him, he continued to examine the interior decorations of the house, leaving only a lukewarm "Oh".
Then he walked directly into the elegant and luxurious living room.
Zheng Yuanqing, with his hand outstretched, froze in place.
This was a situation he had never imagined. After being stunned for a long time, he came back to his senses, his face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the bodyguard.
Seeing the confusion and helplessness in the bodyguard's eyes, he probably knew that he had been played by Su Yi, so he immediately said:
"Bring people to the main house, I want to see what this kid is up to!"
After saying that, he followed Su Yi in with a gloomy face.
