Chapter 3573 Settlement

The unexpectedly strong hardware infrastructure delighted Xiao Changkun, but also made him somewhat worried about Ye Chen.

He wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world, so in his view, the island and its related facilities were not something that could be solved with tens of millions of dollars; it would cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars, or at least 700 million RMB.

Ma Lan was also astonished. Thinking of Ye Chen, she couldn't help but say with some worry, "Chang Kun, how much is the death penalty for fraud?"

"I don't know either, let me check." Xiao Changkun said, reaching for his phone, but after searching his pockets, he couldn't find it, and then realized that his phone was gone.

Xiao Churan, standing to the side, hadn't expected that the hiding place Tang Sihai had prepared for her and her family would be so luxurious. So she could only tell her family, "Dad, Mom, don't make wild guesses. Ye Chen invested his money in Bitcoin a while ago and made a lot of profits. Also, I heard him say that the original owner of this island was having financial problems, so everything here was being sold at a low price. As you know, the global real estate market isn't doing very well right now, and the price of these South Pacific islands has plummeted. It's like those small-scale vacation villas in our suburbs. They were very popular a few years ago, but now nobody wants them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changkun suddenly realized and said, "Daughter, I understand now. These purely vacation-oriented houses are indeed worthless. A few years ago, when vacation villas were at their peak, Lao Pei bought a small-scale American-style villa in the mountains in the suburbs, about 60 or 70 kilometers from the city. At the time, he thought that occasionally driving to the mountains for a weekend would be incredibly comfortable. But after a year, he couldn't go any further. There used to be some commercial facilities there, but later, because fewer people went there, the facilities gradually disappeared. When you get there, you can't even find his mother's small shop, there's nowhere to eat, and there's no takeout. Now, even at 30% off, the house can't be sold."

After saying that, he looked around at the stunning scenery and exclaimed, "You know, this place is thousands of kilometers away from the nearest continent. Who would have the time to come here? It would be strange if they didn't lose a fortune."

Ma Lan didn't quite understand, so she just nodded along and then asked a thought-provoking question: "Do you think the government will confiscate all of Ye Chen's assets if he gets arrested?"

Xiao Changkun waved his hand: "Don't worry, we're in the South Pacific! As long as Ye Chen isn't caught or sold out, we'll stay here peacefully!"

As Ma Lan breathed a sigh of relief, she quickly said to Xiao Churan, "Churan, you have to find a way to contact Ye Chen and ask him to find a chance to escape too! The conditions here are so good, at worst our family of four can just stay here and not go back."

Xiao Churan could only explain, "Mom, Ye Chen has his own things to do. If he comes over now, he will never have a chance to go back openly again. So he wants to do his best to solve the problem. If he can solve it, not only can he come to us openly, but we can also go back openly."

Ma Lan immediately became excited and blurted out, "That would be wonderful! Otherwise, it would be such a waste to live in such a nice place and not be able to show it off to relatives and friends or post it on social media!"

Xiao Churan was already used to Ma Lan's thought process.

Although she was resolute in leaving Ye Chen, deep down she still harbored a sliver of hope.

That is, after Ye Chen avenges his parents, if he still has her in his heart as his wife, and if he doesn't despise her, she will naturally be willing to spend her whole life with him.

Of course, if he regains his status as the young master of the Ye family and returns to the spotlight, and no longer looks up to her, then she will definitely not bother him or cause him any trouble.

Regardless, I'll wait for him here. Whether I get to see him or not, I'll leave it to fate.

Ning Xiaolong, who was standing nearby, stepped forward at the opportune moment and said respectfully, "Gentlemen, please come with me to show you around. There are many details I need to explain to you, and some staff members are also waiting over there."

Ma Lan was quite impatient and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go right now! Give us a proper explanation!"

Ning Xiaolong led the three of them into a four-seater golf cart and first took them on a tour of the island.

The island's facilities were far better and more meticulous than they had seen. The south side of the island had been designed as a golf course, with extremely well-maintained lawns that rivaled those of professional competition venues.

In addition to the golf course, the outdoor tennis courts are also top-notch. Ning Xiaolong also introduced to the three that there is a professional swimming pool, gym, billiards, and table tennis on the basement floor of the villa.

Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan couldn't stop smiling as they listened, while Xiao Churan felt more and more at ease. She herself could endure this secluded life, but she was afraid that her parents wouldn't be able to stand it and might cause some trouble. The better the facilities here, the less likely they would cause any problems.

The island has many staff members, most of whom are young women. They appear to be very professional housekeepers and maids, but in reality, they are all very professional bodyguards.

Ning Xiaolong led the three to the villa area. This villa was built in a magnificent manner because of its large area, far surpassing the villas in the city.

Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan were astonished to see a middle-aged woman leading more than ten young women who were already lined up and waiting.

The group greeted the three respectfully. Ning Xiaolong first introduced the middle-aged woman to the three: "Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, Ms. Xiao, this is Xu Lili, the person in charge of the villa, and also my wife. She will be responsible for taking care of your daily life, meals and accommodations in the villa."

Xu Lili looked to be around forty years old. Although there were some fine lines around her eyes, she looked very capable and efficient.

She stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, and Ms. Xiao, from now on, my team and I will do our best to serve you. We will operate on a three-shift system to ensure that someone is on duty 24 hours a day. Each of your rooms is equipped with a dedicated call button. If you need anything, please let us know at any time. We will replenish supplies once a week. If you need anything, you can also put it on a list and we will be responsible for arranging the purchase and dispatch."

As she spoke, she added, "Because our location is relatively remote, there may be some delay in fulfilling your needs. Generally speaking, the items you need will be delivered in two to three weeks."

Ma Lan quickly asked, "Can we use our phones here?"

Xu Lili shook her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Xiao, Mr. Ye has instructed that he and the three of you are now key targets for investigation, so we must not reveal your specific movements to the outside world. Therefore, the three of you cannot use mobile phones, computers or other devices that can contact the outside world, so as not to be located by professionals."

Ma Lan immediately abandoned the idea of ​​using a mobile phone and blurted out, "Then forget it, we won't use mobile phones or computers!"
