Seaview Garden is a high-class villa district in River City, nestling by mountains and the sea, where many officials, wealthy businessmen, and other high-society individuals reside.
Although it is not the most top-grade or the most luxurious villa residential area in River City, the King of the Building there is indeed valued at one billion.
Ah Biao would not dare deceive Mu Jinyu over such a matter.
Mu Jinyu took the property deed and the key for the King of the Building from Ah Biao, and while his expression remained calm, his eyes couldn't help but look a bit dazed.
Before he descended the mountain, he may have possessed unmatched medical skills, but life was still somewhat impoverished and bleak.
After coming down the mountain, he had earned a total of twenty million yuan from the Xu Family, and as for the Thousand-year Ginseng worth five hundred million from Mei Yinxue which was eaten, let's not even mention it.
He had also earned one hundred thousand yuan by pretending to be Gu Xiyan's boyfriend, and now, after half an hour spent in a gambling den, he had surprisingly won a lavish villa worth one billion.
This was ascending the peak of life within minutes!
Indeed, a small mountain village has no prospects; only a grand city offers opportunities to make a name for oneself.
No wonder his junior brother seldom returned to Yinlong Mountain after leaving it.
Originally, Mu Jinyu had thought to play around River City for a few days and then return to Yinlong Mountain, but now he suddenly no longer felt like going back to that small hill to live in that broken bamboo house.
While Mu Jinyu was lost in thought for a moment.
The cashier had already prepared the "buy more, get more" gift package for him.
She picked out a duplex suite worth fifty million and a small villa worth thirty million for him. With the remaining twenty million, she allowed Mu Jinyu to choose either another set of property valued at twenty million, or a luxury car worth ten million and a set of property also worth ten million.
Of course, if Mu Jinyu didn't want to keep the properties to appreciate in value slowly, he could take the property deeds and keys to the unmarked little shop opposite, and directly sell them for cash.
However, usually only gamblers in dire need of money would make such a choice.
Mu Jinyu was pretty satisfied with the two properties worth eighty million, then looking at the remaining twenty million options, he had no need for a luxury car; after all, he didn't know how to drive.
A twenty-million property was what he had planned to choose...
But then he thought that now that he suddenly owned four mansions, and was also planning to stay in River City, he would certainly live in one of them.
Since both the King of the Building in Seaview Garden and the fifty-million duplex suite were very spacious, there was no need for him to live alone in such large spaces; cleaning them would be a hassle, and hiring a maid would be a significant expense...
And the three-million and two-million mansions would not be much smaller in size, the difference being only in location, decoration, and furniture.
So...
After thinking for a while, Mu Jinyu said, "With the remaining twenty million, find me a property worth about eighteen million, and another ordinary property worth about one hundred thousand."
The cashier did not quite understand Mu Jinyu's line of thinking, but she obediently complied.
Soon, she found for Mu Jinyu a top-quality suite valued at eighteen million and the type of ordinary suite that he requested, the kind with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom.
Mu Jinyu was very content as he took the keys for the five properties.
They had backing; once Mu Jinyu made his selection, Brother Biao instructed his subordinates to transfer the properties into Mu Jinyu's name, which could be completed in just half an hour.
While waiting, Mu Jinyu was drinking the top-grade West Lake Longjing they had steeped, his expression one of utter contentment.
"This tea is really good," Mu Jinyu said after taking a sip, exhaling slightly.
"If you like it, we can give you several pounds," Ah-Biao said with a smile.
In comparison to the 1.1 billion Mu Jinyu had raked in, a few pounds of tea leaves, costing several thousand yuan per liang, was truly nothing.
"No need," Mu Jinyu declined.
Mu Jinyu put down the teacup and waved his hand.
As a connoisseur of tea, he naturally knew that this tea wasn't cheap, and of course, he had no intention of taking advantage of Ah-Biao.
Moreover, compared to the top-quality West Lake Longjing worth several thousand yuan a tin, Mu Jinyu currently preferred the first cup he had, which cost merely one hundred yuan, although it tasted terrible.
After all, that flavorless bad tea had brought him five properties and 1.1 billion.
Seeing that Mu Jinyu was refusing, Ah-Biao forced a smile and didn't say anything more.
Soon, Ah-Biao's subordinates completed the real estate transfer procedures for Mu Jinyu and handed him the new property certificates.
Mu Jinyu stood up, ready to take his leave, but Ah-Biao rose, looking a bit awkward, and rubbing his hands together, he said with some embarrassment, "Doctor Mu, this... our gambling den operates on a small scale and can't withstand too much disruption. If you're short on cash in the future, you can call me; perhaps you could refrain from visiting the den again?"
"Don't worry," Mu Jinyu paused in his steps, turned back to look at Ah-Biao, and with an enigmatic smile, he said significantly, "As long as you refrain from bullying people at will, I won't feel the itch to come over and play a few rounds."
Ah-Biao's expression turned serious, and he quickly assured, "Please rest assured, Doctor Mu. I will definitely keep my subordinates in line and make sure that what happened to your friend doesn't happen again."
"That will do," Mu Jinyu said, then proceeded to leave.
"Eh, Doctor Mu, please wait," Ah-Biao called out again.
"What is it now?" Mu Jinyu turned back, his expression showing a trace of impatience.
"This..." rubbing his hands together, Ah-Biao said awkwardly, "Could you leave a phone number, so we can stay in touch? Yesterday, because we were rushing Big Sister to the hospital for a checkup, I forgot to ask for your number. We've met today, so could you leave it just in case?"
Mu Jinyu looked puzzled, then slowly shook his head.
"Ah? You can't?" Seeing this, Ah-Biao appeared quite disappointed.
Mu Jinyu started to explain, "I don't have a mobile phone, nor do I have a phone number. I was just about to go buy one."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Ah-Biao reacted quickly and said eagerly, "Then I'll go buy a mobile phone for you and get a number set up. That way, Big Sister can contact you promptly after she's done with her busy period and invite you to eat as a way to thank you for your righteous intervention yesterday."
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "I'll handle the mobile phone and phone number myself, and the number can be given to you. As for inviting me to eat, let's forget it. That Thousand-year Ginseng from yesterday is more than enough to cover my intervention fee."
"Okay then," Ah-Biao replied eagerly.
Having Mu Jinyu's contact information made him feel relieved.
Now, he knew he had something to show for the 1.1 billion loss when reporting back to Big Sister.
After escorting Mu Jinyu out the door and helping him purchase a mobile phone and choose a phone number, Ah-Biao noted down Mu Jinyu's new number. Then, as Mu Jinyu sternly declined any further assistance, Ah-Biao stood still, watching his figure disappear from view.
"Is it really worth it?!"
After Mu Jinyu left, Brother Biao's trusted aide couldn't help but speak out in a low voice.
He felt that Brother Biao had no need to treat Mu Jinyu this way. Even though he had indeed saved Big Sister's life yesterday, didn't she give him a Thousand-year Ginseng? That should have already squared away their debt of gratitude.
And why send him five properties worth 1.1 billion today after Mu Jinyu came to smash their place? They had been lenient enough to spare him!
He just couldn't understand it.
Upon hearing this, Ah-Biao glanced at his trusted subordinate, sighed, and explained, "If he were just an ordinary person, of course, there would be no need to curry favor with him, but he's different. He is a Divine Doctor who can bring people back from the brink of death!"
The subordinate shuddered, then quickly grasped the deeper intention behind Brother Biao's actions.
For martial artists like them, living on the edge every day, if they could befriend a Divine Doctor, then maybe one day, when they were gravely injured and at death's door, that Divine Doctor might just save their lives.
