Chapter 257: Your House Was Blasted Into The Sky

Chen Zhao and Felwood chatted with each other. Actually, Chen Zhao really trusted Felwood’s supervision.

Whenever there was a problem, Felwood would immediately inform Chen Zhao.

If Chen Zhao made an unreasonable request, he would also explain to Chen Zhao patiently.

There were two floors in the basement.

Basement two was for Blackie. There was also a waterway leading to the lake. No decoration was needed.

Basement one required much more spending. A piece of tempered glass that was six meters long and two meters wide already cost 120 thousand dollars.

Nonetheless, it changed the basement completely. One could see the Mirror Lake directly through the glass.

It was also the part that pleased Chen Zhao and Fali the most.

“Felwood, you said you know a water engineering team, right? Help me to contact them.”

Felwood seemed to be in a difficult position. “Mr. Chen, I’m sorry, I made an empty promise. I discussed the project with their boss and he’s very unhappy with the price. I don’t think they will work for us anymore.”

“I see. Forget it, I’ll think of a way myself.”

“I’m really sorry.”

“It’s fine.”

Just then, a luxurious car stopped outside the construction site.

Dell and Risfar alighted from the car. When Chen Zhao saw them, he was clearly stunned.

“You... Dell? Johnny?”

“Stop acting. We know it’s because of you.”

“Err... What? I don’t get it.”

Chen Zhao realized that the two were really too young.

Did I put too much Spring of Youth?

Chen Zhao originally estimated that they would become at most five years younger, which would not be too obvious.

However, they ended up becoming about ten years younger.

Dell’s change was even bigger.

He had been a decadent man. Now, he suddenly became muscular and handsome.

“Fine, I won’t ask anymore.” Dell patted Chen Zhao’s shoulder.

“Chen, is this your new home?”

“Yup,” Chen Zhao nodded.

“It’s big. You must have spent quite a lot.”

“As a Chinese, I have a special feeling for land.”

“It’s a great place,” Risfar commented.

Indeed, there was an excellent view of the mountains and the lake.

Both Dell and Risfar felt that the place was exceptional.

Suddenly, a police car approached them. Leonardo and Rose walked out from the car.

“Chen, something happened to your house.”

“What? What happened?”

“Your house was blasted into the sky.”

“What??”

Chen Zhao was flabbergasted. What the f**k does blasted into the sky mean??

When Chen Zhao saw the remains of his house, he was still in a trance.

The firefighters had already arrived. They were merely extinguishing the fire.

The fire was soon controlled, but there was nothing left in the house anyway.

Everything was gone... except for the basement.

“Buddy, can you tell me the cause of the fire?”

“Gas explosion,” the firefighter said.

“Gas leak?”

“No, the gas in your house wasn’t turned off.”

“But I didn’t even use the stove in the morning.”

“I can’t answer that,” the firefighter said, speechless.

“Chen, seems like you won’t have a place to live for now. You can stay at my place,” Dell invited.

“My place works too.” Risfar felt that it was a very good opportunity.

Nevertheless, Chen Zhao was clearly not in the mood for this.

There was nothing valuable at home. After all, he had kept all the important things in the spatial ring.

Still, Chen Zhao’s mood was like an ignited gunpowder barrel. The gloom on his face was hard to ignore.

Chen Zhao looked at Bant’s house not far away. Bant’s car was parked at the roadside.

“Bant, are you at home?” Chen Zhao called Bant.

“No, what’s up?”

“I see your car is parked at the roadside. Does your car have a driving recorder?”

“Yes, do you need it?”

“My house was burnt down by someone,” Chen Zhao said.

Chen Zhao was certain that someone had done it. It was definitely not an accident.

“Huh? I’ll be right back.”

Soon, Bant came. He gave Chen Zhao the SD card of the recorder and even his laptop for Chen Zhao to play the record.

Chen Zhao set the time to nine in the morning. Soon after he left, another car parked before his house.

Spike! Chen Zhao was enraged.

Spike entered Chen Zhao’s house. More than ten minutes later, he came out with a bottle of wine.

The eyes of Dell and Risfar glittered, but they did not display their feelings.

One minute after Spike left, the house exploded.

“Chen, is he your enemy?”

“Now he is!!” Chen Zhao’s face darkened.

Then, Leonardo and Rose brought the SD card away.

Risfar and Dell looked at Chen Zhao. “Chen, what’s your plan?”

“Wait for the police to catch the culprit. What else can I do?”

“If you need it, I can help you,” Risfar said.

“I can too.” Dell always had the habit of speaking before thinking. “Since he stole that bottle of wine, we can offer a high price in the black market to purchase it. He should be more than happy to sell it to us.”

Chen Zhao looked at them. “Do you want that bottle of wine?”

“Err... It’s yours... We’ll return it to you of course.”

“If you happen to receive it, give it to your old relatives. You won’t need it.”

“What do you mean?”

“A person can only benefit from that wine once.”

“Can the wine cure diseases?” Risfar asked.

“Johnny, is any of your relatives or friends ill?”

Chen Zhao finally got it. Risfar must have found out about him somehow.

Therefore, Risfar came close to him, hoping that he would treat someone for Risfar.

“It’s my wife.”

Chen Zhao thought about it. “Give me her medical history.”

“Are you going to treat my wife?”

“You need to promise me that after your wife recovers, nobody else will ever find out about it.”

“Yes, I promise!” Risfar said in excitement.

“Give me the reports as soon as possible,” Chen Zhao said.

“Of course,” Risfar nodded firmly. “Also, give me 24 hours. I’ll find that person for you. Tell me if you want him dead or alive.”

“I’m a law-abiding resident. I’ll wait for the police to give me an answer.” Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.

Once Chen Zhao was alone, he immediately called Morgery, “Morgery, help me to find someone.”
