64: Chapter 64 Your Partner is Here to See You!

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan smiled, "My father works for The Great Leader, so I've known him since I was little. I used to be a soldier, but then I injured my leg and retired. Once it healed, I became a criminal police officer."

Xu Wanning nodded. He was a capable man; someone who could go straight from the military to being a criminal police officer must have been very impressive before.

"No wonder." Xu Wanning felt relieved.

The car headed toward the airport. She had assumed she would be taking a regular passenger plane, or at most, be given a business class seat. To her surprise, it was a helicopter, prepared specifically for her.

The back seat could hold three people, so she, Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan, and Zhou Ke sat there, while the others took the passenger plane.

"We could have just taken the passenger plane together," Xu Wanning said politely.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan gestured for her to get on, "The Great Leader had this prepared. From now on, we'll use the helicopter to help transport goods everywhere; it's faster. June 25th is not far off, and we need to be back before then."

"If The Apocalypse arrives early, having the helicopter means we can get you back immediately. The Great Leader said your safety is paramount."

To be honest, she was quite touched.

They boarded the helicopter. The pilot performed a few operations, and before long, the helicopter slowly ascended and flew toward the farthest city.

Time slowly slipped by, and on June 20th, the helicopter landed back at the Jing City airport.

Xu Wanning was wearing a blue denim outfit. She brushed her hair back; she had finally returned after more than a month.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan glanced at his phone, "Wanning, The Great Leader is asking if you want to go see the villa prepared for you. The renovation is completely finished."

"Let's go take a look." She had wanted to see it before but hadn't had the chance. This was the perfect opportunity.

Zhou Ke was also very interested. His family was already considered well-off, but he had always lived behind the shop with his grandfather, so he felt it was nothing special.

He heard that the place The Great Leader had prepared for Sister Ning was a luxurious manor villa, and he was looking forward to it.

Zhou Ke leaned against the window and looked out, "Sister, if that place is nice, you should bring Uncle An and Aunt Qiu and the others to live there. The place The Great Leader arranged is absolutely top-tier in terms of security."

Xu Wanning had that intention too, but she wouldn't leave everyone behind. She would go take a look first and then decide.

She thought it would take a long time to get there, but it only took 12 minutes. The location was excellent; it was only a 20-minute drive from Grandpa Zhou's house.

Even though they had mentally prepared themselves, upon arriving, both Xu Wanning and Zhou Ke were stunned.

As soon as they arrived, a man in a suit hurried over, "Hello, Miss Xu. I am the exclusive steward The Great Leader has assigned to you. My name is Steward Zhang Song."

"Allow me to introduce this villa to you. This property features a French neoclassical main building, a new Chinese-style private courtyard, and a hillside viewing platform."

"It covers an area of 8.8 mu. The main building has a floor area of 2,880 square meters, and the courtyard is 4,200 square meters. It has three floors above ground, two underground, and an independent annex. It is equipped with 24-hour personal security and infrared fencing."

Zhou Ke's mouth hung open. They were truly wealthy.

Steward Zhang Song led them inside, "The main building is 42 meters long and 18 meters high. The first floor is the reception level, featuring a Chinese-style living room, a Western-style banquet hall, a family dining room, both Chinese and Western kitchens, two suites for elders with private bathrooms, and two public restrooms."

After introducing the first floor, they went underground, "The second basement level is equipped with a private temperature-controlled wine cellar, a private cinema, a security control room, and an equipment and storage room."

"The first basement level features a 25-meter long and 10-meter wide indoor temperature-controlled swimming pool, a Gym, a sauna and steam room, a billiard room, a card room, and four staff rest rooms."

They took the elevator directly to the second floor, "The second floor has three children's suites, all with private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and balconies; there are also three guest rooms, a family recreation hall, a study, and an open-air viewing balcony."

"The third floor belongs exclusively to Miss Xu. It includes the master suite, a walk-in closet, a private bathroom, a private study, and a stargazing terrace."

Xu Wanning was incredibly satisfied with the third floor; she liked everything about it. "The design is excellent."

"I'm glad you like it, Miss Xu. There is also an annex nearby, which contains six staff dormitories, a logistics kitchen, a laundry room, a steward's office, and a food storage room."

Steward Zhang Song led them outside, "The front courtyard covers 1,200 square meters and features a European-style fountain sculpture, a ginkgo boulevard, and an entrance driveway that can accommodate eight cars at once."

"Next is the central garden, covering 1,800 square meters, with lawns, a rose garden, a koi pond, and Chinese-style pavilions."

"Over there is a standard tennis court and an outdoor leisure lawn that can accommodate 50 people for a party."

"At the very edge is the parking area, with six private garages, four outdoor parking spaces, a greenhouse, and a pet room."

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy. We'll look around ourselves." Xu Wanning waved her hand to let Steward Zhang Song go about his work.

"Yes!" Steward Zhang Song bowed slightly and left.

Zhou Ke nudged over, "Sister Ning, you should move here. I can come over and stay from time to time when I'm free."

"I just counted, there are 18 rooms in total. My requirements aren't high; a staff room would be fine."

"You like it here?" Xu Wanning liked it too, but Grandpa Zhou's place was better equipped than this, especially with all the supplies in the warehouse. If they moved everything over, the storage room might not fit it all, and they would have to fill up the recreation rooms.

"I love it." Zhou Ke's eyes lit up.

"Let's go home first and ask everyone for their opinion." Zhou Ke had taken videos while they were walking around, and they could take them back to show everyone.

"Alright!" Zhou Ke almost jumped for joy.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan hadn't said much throughout the whole process. His own villa was right next door, so he wasn't envious.

After dropping them off at Grandpa Zhou's doorstep, Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan didn't rush to leave; instead, he followed them inside.

"We're back!" Zhou Ke shouted.

The group training in the yard was startled at first, then rushed over and hugged Zhou Ke and Xu Wanning.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan stared at Lu Zhiyu, who was hugging Xu Wanning, and gave a light cough, "Xiao Yu, I'm here too."

Lu Zhiyu's face turned flushed as she glanced at him. Of course she knew he was there, she was just feeling shy, "Big Brother Cheng."

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan nodded, "Want to go for a walk?"

Lu Zhiyu shyly lowered her head, "Mm."

Everyone looked at them with gossip in their eyes. When did they make progress? They hadn't even noticed.

Xu Wanning also wanted to see Lu Chengyue. Both of them had been so busy lately that they didn't even have time for video calls; their schedules never aligned.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't control herself, "Xiao Ke, show them the videos and let everyone discuss whether we should move there. I'm going to the Fire Station."

"Alright, Sister, go ahead." Zhou Ke patted his chest, "Leave it to me."

Xu Wanning trotted outside, got her car, and drove away, even forgetting to send him a message to ask if he was there.

It wasn't until she arrived at the Fire Station that she realized it.

Li Jingran was guarding the gate today. Seeing Xu Wanning, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Pretty Miss Xu, you're finally back. Old Lu has been missing you so much he's lost weight."

She frowned, feeling a headache coming on, "Is he inside?"

"He is, he's on The Square." As he said this, he shouted toward The Square, "Old Lu, your partner is here to see you!"

Lu Chengyue, who was doing push-ups on the training ground, stiffened, then quickly got up and ran toward the gate.
