175: Chapter 172 Master Wen

Early in the morning, Li Changsheng practiced the Lions Roar Skill on the rooftop for ten minutes, as always, never a minute more.

"Not bad, it seems to have improved. The sound is louder, hmm... still bel canto."

Li Changsheng felt depressed, rubbed his nose, and immediately headed downstairs.

He didn't care if it was bel canto anymore; he would just leave it at that. As long as the sound was loud, it would still be lethal!

As for whether he could master a fierce and imposing Lions Roar Skill, he had already given up. If it happened, it happened; if not, he would just try to use this move as little as possible in crowded places in the future.

"I'll just keep it hidden and only use this move when facing opponents who must be silenced!"

Li Changsheng made up his mind. Right, from now on, anyone who hears this sound must be silenced!

With this thought in mind, Li Changsheng arrived downstairs and was just about to go out for breakfast when a Volvo S80 pulled up next to the repair shop.

The reason he could recognize it at a glance was mainly because this was the same car that Mr. Ma from a certain e-commerce giant used to drive. It had good stability and strong safety features. Moreover, this car seemed to have been modified; it might have had bulletproof glass installed, as the glass looked very thick.

"Brother Li, how about now?" Third Master was already waiting at the entrance, sitting in a wheelchair with Old Seven behind him.

"I haven't had breakfast yet, no rush," Li Changsheng said indifferently.

"Brother Li, exquisite breakfast has been prepared in the car. Of course, if there is anything else you would like to eat, Old Seven can go buy it," Third Master said with a smile.

"Fine, let's go then."

Li Changsheng didn't care; there was no reason not to eat a free breakfast. Besides, he felt that these people probably needed his help.

These small favors wouldn't necessarily compel him to offer his assistance.

"I'd like to see what kind of scheme they are cooking up," Li Changsheng thought to himself.

At this moment, the driver had already opened the rear door for Li Changsheng. After Li Changsheng took his seat, the driver closed the door and, together with Old Seven, lifted Third Master into the back seat before putting the wheelchair into the trunk.

Getting into the car and starting it, the journey was very quiet.

Third Master wanted to start a conversation, but Li Changsheng was focused on looking out the window.

He was memorizing the route and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this old scoundrel, Third Master.

The car was clearly driving around the city aimlessly. An average person would have been confused, but Li Changsheng remembered everything clearly. The System's memory solidification made his memory more reliable than computer storage devices.

The car finally crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, passed through several streets, circled a few times, and then headed toward a country road.

After another ten minutes or so, the car stopped at an estate surrounded by woods. The guard at the gate took a look before pressing the button to open the iron gate.

The gate opened, and after driving inside for a few more minutes, the car finally pulled up in front of a villa within the estate.

——

Just after getting out of the car, he saw an old man leaning on a cane, dressed in what was clearly golf leisure wear, standing not far away with a smile.

The old man had silver hair and looked eighty percent similar to Zhang Youdao, though he had a bit more age and a rough, grassroots aura than Zhang Youdao.

Even though the other party probably hadn't personally taken action in many years and had cultivated the temperament of an entrepreneur, the grassroots aura deep in his bones still made people feel that this old man was not simple.

"Master Wen!"

Third Master turned his wheelchair himself and hurried forward.

Seeing this, the old man called Master Wen glanced at a servant to the side and barked, "Do I need to tell you about things like this?"

Upon hearing this, a servant hurried forward to gently push Third Master's wheelchair.

Master Wen just nodded at Third Master, without much small talk, and walked directly toward Li Changsheng.

The other party had a slight limp, so it was clear that the cane was not just for decoration.

"Brother Li, I have heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Master Wen smiled and reached out his hand, showing no airs of a big shot.

"Master Wen, right? I have also heard much about you."

Shaking hands with him, one could feel that Master Wen's fingers might have had calluses from holding guns in the past, but after years of comfortable living, the calluses had long since faded.

"You should also know that I am a martial artist, so I tend to be direct. If you have anything to say, please just say it directly; there is no need for all this pageantry."

Hearing Li Changsheng's blunt words, Master Wen's expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly forced a smile.

"Haha, Brother Li, I used to practice martial arts too. I know the temperament of you martial artists. Don't worry, we're just chatting. However, this isn't the place for a conversation. Why don't we go inside? Tea and refreshments are prepared there. Shall we... talk while we have some tea?"

Li Changsheng nodded, his gaze calmly observing his surroundings.

He had been observing along the way; there were many guards around, and he estimated there were at least thirty well-trained security personnel.

The reason he felt they were well-trained was that their positioning and camouflage were actually quite good.

However, Li Changsheng's memory was extraordinary. After looking a few more times, he discovered that even from a great distance, several people would glance toward this side every minute.

This was the case whether the person was pruning the garden or cleaning the lawn.

Furthermore, there was a cleaner standing on the clock tower in the distance. He appeared to be cleaning the clock tower, but his movements would pause for a moment each time; in reality, he was observing the situation through the reflection of the glass.

This level of professionalism would be hard to detect if one weren't in the same line of work. Even for Li Changsheng, it required multiple observations and comparisons with the memory in his mind to make the judgment.

And the actual number of servants here was around fifty.

Including the security and these servants, the monthly expenses were definitely an astronomical figure.

"No, if this Master Wen were only involved in a Gang, he would definitely be unable to afford such a luxurious life!"

You have to realize, the other party had clearly just finished playing golf. A person like this wouldn't be playing indoor golf. If there was a golf course here, then this Master Wen's net worth was likely even more substantial.

Such a person... why was he still involved in a Gang?

Li Changsheng was truly confused now. With this kind of capital, his net worth was at the very least in the tens of billions.

Looking at the world today, trillion-dollar companies have emerged, along with a bunch of multi-billionaires, and even more hidden wealthy individuals whose assets have not been disclosed. Master Wen was actually not at the very top; in the circle of the wealthy, he was considered mid-tier, or perhaps even lower-tier.

After all, the hidden wealthy are the true titans of capital, such as certain Families, chaebols, consortiums, and so on.

These people do not participate in the actual operation of enterprises; they just engage in investment. Perhaps the capital behind many famous enterprises comes from this group of people.

The annual dividends are a huge fortune; those visible wealthy entrepreneurs might just be their hired hands.

Li Changsheng had some understanding of this, such as the extremely famous Rothschild Family, Walton Family, and Koch Family.

It is said that even the Saudi royal Family would have to take a backseat to these Families with hundreds of years of history.
