On the second day of arriving in Country M, Qiao Ying first visited Ye Si's parents, primarily to check on the condition of Ye Si's father's health.
A few days later, with the new medical license in hand, Qiao Ying also had Blood Shadow's iris implants in her eyes.
At this moment, Qiao Ying stood in front of one of her residences in Country M—a seaside villa built on a cliff.
It was a house she designed herself.
Constructed by a renowned architect from Country M.
The overall design was dominated by streamlined elements, with a facade that exuded a sense of freedom and used a lot of glass and metal.
It gave off a strong high-tech vibe.
The interior of the villa was even more technologically advanced.
Qiao Ying opened the villa's gate by iris recognition.
As she entered, the previously quiet villa sprang to life, with the housekeeping robots diligently going about their tasks.
A holographic projection appeared in mid-air in the hallway, displaying data that recognized Qiao Ying's iris and confirmed her identity.
Then, a fully white butler robot descended from the second floor in an elevator and arrived in front of Qiao Ying.
Ye Si's voice sounded from the robot's speaker, "Master, you've finally returned."
Qiao Ying was speechless, "Change your voice back."
That crazy Ye Si had recorded his own voice into the system when she wasn't paying attention. Every time she deleted it, he recorded it again.
Several times when she came home, it was his voice.
The robot butler replied, "Yes, Master."
And immediately switched back to its original voice.
The villa was immaculate, without a speck of dust.
Apart from the lack of liveliness, it was hard to tell that no one had lived in the villa for two or three years.
Qiao Ying used iris recognition to take the elevator down to the first basement level.
A gray robot was waiting outside the elevator and let Qiao Ying in after recognizing her iris.
What came into view was an entire large flat, and looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a magnificent sea bathed in sunshine.
The glass completely isolated the sound of the waves, creating a serene and quiet atmosphere inside.
The gray robot asked, "Do you want to open the windows, Master?"
Qiao Ying stepped out of the elevator and said, "No need."
The gray robot asked, "Do you want to turn on the TV, Master?"
Qiao Ying replied, "Shut up."
The gray robot remained silent.
Passing through the hallway, Qiao Ying arrived in front of the only room.
After iris recognition, Qiao Ying entered the room and continued to use iris recognition to open a safe.
Qiao Ying took out her black card and picked up her medical license from her previous life, which had her own face on it.
The name on it was Seely.
Qiao Ying glanced at it and tossed the medical license into her bag.
She then went down to the second basement level, which was also a large flat. When the elevator doors opened, she saw a row of neatly parked luxury cars.
Almost all of them were supercars.
Each one was Huo Chengdong's dream car.
If he were here, Huo Chengdong would definitely be ecstatic. Give him a bowl of rice, and he could live here forever.
Qiao Ying took out her phone, took a few pictures of her garage, and sent them to Huo Chengdong.
[Which one do you like? Consider it a birthday gift.]
Last time, Qiao Ying didn't prepare a birthday gift for Huo Chengdong.
Before waiting for Huo Chengdong's reply,
Qiao Ying chose one car from the collection, and said to the gray robot, "Bring this car up later." She wanted to drive it herself.
Qiao Ying proceeded to the third floor.
She was greeted by a black robot.
The third floor was an entire armory.
The walls were filled with various weapons and the peculiar-shaped bombs she had made herself.
This was Qiao Ying's favorite floor.
In her past life, she enjoyed spending time here, drinking and finding satisfaction in the company of these things, both mentally and physically.
Qiao Ying walked up to a wall, picked up a handgun, and aimed a few shots at a distant target.
As she looked at the armory, she couldn't help but think: Qin Hanyue, being a arms dealer, must have an interest in this armory of hers.
Should she bring him here another day to take a look?
While Qiao Ying was indulging in her pastime, Huo Chengdong, who was asleep during the late night in his home country, was awakened by his phone ringing and grumbled in his mouth.
Faintly, he could tell it was a message from Qiao Ying, and Huo Chengdong fell silent.
He opened the message and saw several photos.
Huo Chengdong rubbed his eyes, clicked on the photos, and after a moment, his eyes widened, and he quickly sat up from the bed.
He was instantly wide awake.
Soon, Qiao Ying received a video invitation from Huo Chengdong.
Qiao Ying had just finished indulging herself and didn't continue to the fourth floor, which was the last floor—her place for making explosives.
Holding her phone, Qiao Ying returned to the second floor.
When Huo Chengdong saw the row of sports cars, he stared at the screen with wide eyes, speechless for a while.
Too excited to speak.
"What the hell! Yingjie, is this heaven? Quickly tell me where this place is, I want to come over! I want to live here, I want to die inside!"
He jumped off the bed and ran into the wardrobe, looking for clothes to change into.
Qiao Ying: "I'm abroad."
Huo Chengdong paused, "Which country? I'm coming!"
Qiao Ying ignored him, "Do you want a car? Hurry up and pick one."
Huo Chengdong: "Yes! Of course! But, Yingjie, you tell me first, are you planning to buy it for me or..."
Qiao Ying raised an eyebrow, "Buy? This is my garage."
Not a dealership.
"!!!"
Huo Chengdong gasped for air, his mind buzzing.
He suddenly remembered the first time they met in Yun City when Qiao Ying sat in his sports car and said she had two of these cars in her garage...
At this moment, a bunch of words scrambled to come out of Huo Chengdong's mind, and after a while, he summed it up with the most useful sentence:
"Yingjie, can I marry you? I don't want a dowry or bridal gifts. You don't have to take care of me either. Just marry me and let me live here, and I'll be satisfied with having the car to drive."
Qiao Ying: "Are you out of your mind?"
Her mouth twitched.
As the words came out, even Qiao Ying herself was speechless. Spending so much time with Huo Chengdong and his constant nonsensical talk was making her uncivilized.
Huo Chengdong roared unwillingly, "Damn it! Why does Qin Hanyue, that old man, have such good luck!"
After leaving the garage, Qiao Ying returned to the ground floor.
Robot Butler: "Master, fresh ingredients have already been ordered and will be delivered soon. Lunch will be ready by twelve o'clock."
Qiao Ying had lunch at her own home and made some changes to the systems of a few robots before leaving.
Driving a sports car through the bustling city, Qiao Ying, who hadn't been back to Country M for a long time, enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Ye Si left early in the morning, but he didn't go to the company.
The Arctic Fox Mercenary Group had been causing a lot of trouble, and Ye Si wanted to take 791 and break away from them to establish his own power.
791 was the strongest team within the Arctic Fox, and it wouldn't be easy for Ye Si to take their influence with him.
While he was thinking about it, the sound of several engines approached, and then several sports cars appeared on both sides, driving alongside Qiao Ying.
The owners of these cars were young people in their teens and twenties, with blond hair and blue eyes.
They whistled at Qiao Ying in the car, flirting loudly and revving their engines, laughing and joking.
They were undoubtedly the foreign version of spirited young lads.
Qiao Ying had no intention of paying attention to them and stepped on the gas to accelerate.
However, those guys enthusiastically chased after her.
