That night, the Guo family's old mansion at 186 Tianxi North Road in the western part of the city was brightly lit.
The descendants and core members of the Guo family from all over the country had already returned to this residence one after another…
One after another, low-key and luxurious cars stopped at the entrance of the manor.
The main building in the manor was a western-style building…
Inside the building, there was a bedroom decorated in a classical style. Lying on the baroque-style bed was Guo Yanzhi, the only remaining second-generation ancestor of the Guo family.
Guo Yanzhi was too old. His body was thin, and his skin was dry and bloodless. He was already a lamp that had run out of oil.
He was wearing an oxygen mask, and there were all kinds of medical machines around him that were constantly checking the old man's body…
Beside Guo Yanzhi's bed, several current leaders of the Guo family, as well as the middle-aged and young people, stood silently with sad expressions.
If the first founder of the Guo family had boldly entered Zhonghai, a metropolis that had just begun to transform, and given the Guo family a limitless future, then Guo Yanzhi was the true pioneer. The Guo family prospered under his hands!
As long as he lived for one more day, he would be a stabilizing force for the Guo family.
Regardless of whether they were young or old, they all knew what was going on.
If Guo Yanzhi went, the Guo family would choose to keep a low profile for a long time.
"Mr. Guo…"
A middle-aged man in a white coat walked to the side of Guo Min 'an, the current leader of the Guo family, and shouted in a low voice.
Guo Min 'an shifted his gaze from the old man to the doctor.
He raised his hand and pressed it down. Then, he exchanged glances with his sister-in-law.
The members of the Guo family followed behind Guo Min 'an and the other three parents and walked out of the bedroom with the doctor.
"Mister Guo, everyone…"
"Old Master might…might not make it through tonight.”
The middle-aged doctor was a little nervous under the gazes of so many big shots. He swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere froze.
……
At the same time.
Outside the Guo family's old mansion, across the road.
"This is the Guo family's old residence?"
A tall man in a gray trench coat looked at the Guo family's residence from afar and whispered.
He was Lu Li. The target of this trip was Old Master Guo.
"Did something happen…"
Lu Li looked around.
He could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the Guo residence was a little off tonight. The level of vigilance had increased a lot, and from time to time, cars would stop at the entrance of the residence.
Lu Li shook his head and didn't think about it.
A thought appeared in his mind, and a notification appeared:
"Please choose the time to double."
"A hundred times."
Lu Li replied.
As he used his ability, the scene in his eyes began to change rapidly...
On the road, the car that was moving quickly earlier seemed to have stopped and moved forward extremely slowly.
With 100 times the speed, Lu Li could walk 65 meters in one second in the outside world…
He could walk 65 meters in a second!
The speed of the car was 30 km/h, which was 8.3 m/s. The speed of the car was 10 times slower than Lu Li's walking speed.
Sixty-five meters per second, converted to kilometers per hour, was equivalent to 234 kilometers per hour, comparable to the speed of high-speed rail!
This was just Lu Li's walking speed. If he were to run, then…it would be even more terrifying!
……
Lu Li put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and walked into the Guo Family's old mansion with a relaxed expression.
During this process, the patrolling guards did not notice his existence at all.
Lu Li stood in a place where the light was against. He raised his head and looked at the main building.
He had some knowledge of architecture and could tell that the details of this western-style building were very particular.
The main facade of the building was a two-story pillared gallery. From the top of the columns, the columns should have covered the three types of ancient Greek orders, namely the Doric style, the Ionian style, and the Corinthian style.
Lu Li collected his thoughts and smiled.
He took another step forward and entered the hall of the building…
He shuttled through the buildings, and no one noticed him.
Lu Li looked around the interior of the ancient building.
The wooden fireplace was engraved with carvings around it. The fireplace had neoclassical elements and had the details of the Republic of China style…
Teak wood carved with intricate wall panels…
A 15-square-meter skylight with an ancient stained glass ceiling…
The floor was paved with multi-colored hexagonal glazed tiles. These tiles were replaced by the Tulip Kingdom's craftsmen using ancient craftsmanship. It was said that in order to make these glazed tiles, the craftsmen first made a model of the original hundred-year-old bricks, then re-prepared the porcelain clay used for color matching. After hand-pouring, backfilling, and finally burning and fusing…
"This is a real mansion."
Lu Li sighed.
He strolled towards the last bedroom.
As he walked past the stairs, Lu Li saw the core members of the Guo Family standing at the bedroom door.
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He slowed down the flow of time, making it ten times faster.
In the corridor, the sudden sound of footsteps suddenly attracted the attention of Guo Min 'an and the others.
