Chapter 158 Going down the mountain

“It’s definitely not convenient for us women to come here and supervise the construction team. Someone needs to keep an eye on things here all the time,” Vermouth instructed.

Su Xingbo waved his hand and laughed, "I know that. I will have people watching this place 24 hours a day. And since there's such a big commotion here, I plan to expand the project even further and move it directly to the basement of a villa not far away."

"Wishful thinking!" Vermouth mocked mercilessly.

"???" Upon hearing this, Su Xingbo lunged forward, only to be nimbly dodged by Vermouth, leaving him empty-handed.

“The bigger the commotion you make, the more people will find out, and the less likely you are to stay hidden. Stop thinking about all that nonsense, just stick to your original plan,” Vermouth explained slowly.

Also.

If the work is done inside the mountain, it won't have much of an impact. But if it extends further outwards, it's very likely that many people will notice what's going on here.

"Then tell me, where would be the best place to set up the entrances and exits?" Su Xingbo asked again.

He's now used to getting advice from Vermouth and Tomoko Suzuki, after all, they're knowledgeable and their age is a factor.

After thinking for a moment, Tomoko Suzuki said, "The best place to set up the entrance and exit is on the left side at the foot of the mountain. There are many trees there, so it's relatively hidden, and there are some natural boulders around to cover it. Also, that area is rarely visited, so it's not easy to be discovered."

Vermouth nodded in agreement and added, "However, we also need to consider the convenience of transporting materials. We could widen the path at the foot of the mountain to transport large equipment into the mountain, which would be both portable and practical."

"Okay, I'll have my men explain things to the construction team later," Su Xingbai said with a smile.

While the three chatted and laughed, there was a commotion upstairs as the women prioritized packing the babies' things. Yukiko first wrapped up Rena's things, then Sally's, and handed them to Akemi, each holding one baby.

Then he went downstairs.

"All packed, let's go!" Sonoko shouted excitedly.

"Waaaaaah waaaaah!" Sally was always more prone to crying, while Rena was very well-behaved and rarely cried.

"Why were you shouting so excitedly? You made Sally cry. Rena was much better behaved, with her big eyes wide open..." Su Xingbo had just finished praising her.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!" Rena started crying as soon as he finished speaking.

Sonoko retorted defiantly, "Look at you, why are you talking so loudly? You've made Rena drool with envy, haven't you?"

ha? !

Su Xingbo pointed at himself with a finger, puzzled.

What does this have to do with him? She was the one who woke Sally up first.

Forget it.

Let's appease these two little ones first.

After much hardship, Sally was finally comforted, while Rena, exhausted from crying halfway through, stopped and began drinking milk in large gulps.

"Phew, let's go, let's go. Akemi, you drive one car, I'll drive the other. It's inconvenient for Yukiko to be carrying the baby. Thank you for your hard work." Su Xingbo shook his head helplessly.

Akemi smiled faintly, said nothing, nodded, then took Ai's hand, carried a bag, and went out first.

The group then descended the mountain in a lively atmosphere.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, the two cars, along with the one Suzuki Tomoko had brought, made up the three cars that took everyone on board. Su Xingbai's car led the way.

There were only Vermouth and Pusi Qinglan in his car; the others had come with their friends, and the two of them didn't want to squeeze in, so they got into his car.

“I’ve already seen the hilltop villa, and now I’m really looking forward to seeing what your villa will look like after the renovation. I’m inexplicably excited,” Vermouth said, chuckling to herself.

"Hehe." Su Xingbo smiled mysteriously: "If the villa on the mountaintop is easy to defend and difficult to attack, then this place is truly a cunning rabbit with three burrows."

These words made Vermouth even more intrigued; how insecure must someone be to have their home turned out like this?

The vehicle drove along and soon arrived at its destination. Su Xingbo led everyone into the renovated villa.

"This place looks quite ordinary," Pu Siqinglan said, looking around.

Su Xingbo, however, looked confident and led everyone to a seemingly ordinary shower room. He gently pressed a protruding part, and the wall slowly opened, revealing a passage leading underground.

The group walked down the passage, and suddenly the space opened up before them. The space inside was not particularly large, and there were no facilities. It was pitch black, and they could not see the path ahead at all.

"This is only part of it," Su Xingbo said with a smile. Then, holding a lantern, he led everyone to another corner where a hidden door led to a new world. This was the main switch. If any villa was in danger, a barrier door could be raised after everyone ran down to block the enemy.

After the introductions, she led everyone towards their villa, as they would be staying in two separate villas. Yukiko and Akemi stayed upstairs to take care of the children, as they were already very familiar with the area. Ai, on the other hand, came down to explore with great interest.

After walking for a short while, they came to another set of steps. He handed the torch to Pu Siqinglan and told her to go up directly. He would stay behind to protect them.

Once up there, everyone enjoyed the sunshine and felt for the first time how comfortable it was.

"Wow, all those interconnected passageways we just saw, they don't all lead to a villa in the end, do they?" Pu Siqinglan asked in surprise.

Su Xingbo laughed smugly, "Of course! The saying 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows' isn't a joke. Now you see it."

Unexpectedly, Vermouth suddenly said something.

Are you that afraid of dying?

"What?!" Su Xingbo was stunned. How could this be related to being afraid of death? It was absurd.

"If you're not afraid of death, why are you building so many fancy things? Don't tell me it's foresight or anything. Nobody builds so many villas if they're afraid of getting hacked to death at night," Vermouth sneered.

She didn't know why, but ever since she started dating this bastard, she couldn't stand him. She had thought he only had two or three women.

When she entered the house full of anticipation, she discovered that it wasn't like that at all.

He even managed to take a whole family of three into his possession, and what's even more outrageous is that they were married women!
