Brother, just how powerful is our family?
Chapter 10 Arrival at the Manor
The convoy passed through the final checkpoint, and the massive alloy doors slowly slid open to the sides.
Qin Yao was startled awake by the sound. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she sat up straight and asked, "Brother, have we arrived?"
"We've arrived. Welcome to my manor," Qin Feng said gently.
Qin Yao looked out the car window and then froze.
Before me lay a brightly lit scene, resembling a small city.
The beams of searchlight swept across the sky, illuminating the towering walls and watchtowers.
Every few meters along the wall stood a fully armed sentry, armed with rifles, tactical gear slung over their waists, and night vision goggles under their helmets glowing with an eerie green light.
What's even more impressive is the scene inside the walls: on the wide concrete road, squads of soldiers are conducting night patrols.
They were dressed in uniform desert camouflage combat uniforms, their steps were synchronized, and their firearms reflected a cold, hard gleam under the lights.
In the distance, training grounds and barracks were faintly visible, their scale far exceeding Qin Yao's imagination.
"This...this is a military base, right?" Qin Yao murmured, her voice filled with disbelief.
The viewers in the live stream were also excited.
After several hours of live streaming through the night, many people were already tired, but seeing this scene instantly energized them:
"My God! Where am I?"
"A military base! It's definitely a military base!"
"Who exactly is Yao Yao's brother? Does he have his own military base in Africa?"
"I took a screenshot of that gate and zoomed in. It's at least ten meters high and looks like it was made of special steel."
"Look at those soldiers! Their equipment is so sophisticated!"
Seeing his sister's shocked expression, Qin Feng smiled slightly: "This is the company's headquarters. In Africa, safety is paramount, so our security facilities are quite comprehensive."
"Perfect..." Qin Yao repeated the word, feeling that the description was far too understated.
The convoy did not stop and continued driving along the main road within the base.
The road is wide and flat, allowing eight trucks to travel side by side.
Along the way, you can see more facilities, such as equipment depots, maintenance workshops, helicopter landing pads, and even several runways in the distance, with the outlines of airplanes faintly visible.
The number of viewers in the live stream surged again, surpassing 150,000.
Many people were woken up by friends or came from other platforms after hearing about it, and they were all stunned when they saw this scene.
"This size...how many acres must this be?"
"I just passed a training ground and saw armored vehicles conducting nighttime training!"
"Did you notice those buildings? They're all reinforced concrete structures, and some even have camouflage netting."
"This isn't an ordinary company headquarters; it's a full-fledged military fortress!"
The convoy traveled about five kilometers, and the surrounding scenery gradually changed.
Military facilities have decreased, greenery has increased, and meticulously maintained gardens and landscape trees have appeared along the roads.
The streetlights are elegantly designed and emit a soft glow, which contrasts sharply with the searchlights in the military area.
After driving for about another kilometer, an exquisite gate appeared ahead.
The gatekeeper, dressed in a crisp uniform rather than combat gear, immediately saluted and opened the gate upon seeing the convoy.
As the convoy entered the gate, the sight before them made Qin Yao and everyone in the live stream hold their breath.
This is a vast estate, with a magnificent villa at its center.
The villa adopts a modern design style, making extensive use of glass and stone, but also incorporates classical elements.
The main building is seven stories high, with wings extending on both sides, and the overall layout is symmetrical.
The villa's exterior walls are covered with vines, blending perfectly with the architecture.
The estate is shaded by green trees, with a variety of tropical plants planted in the garden, and even a large fountain that sparkles with crystal-clear water under the lights.
Several walking paths meander through the area, with benches and landscape lighting along the way.
Unlike the military zone we just visited, the atmosphere here is warm and peaceful.
Occasionally, you can see uniformed staff working in the garden or pushing cleaning carts along the trails.
Of course, there are also a few armed personnel standing guard at key positions, but their attire is more formal, unlike the soldiers in the military zone who are fully armed.
"This...this is where you live?" Qin Yao turned her head, her eyes wide open.
Qin Feng nodded: "Yes. The work area and the living area are separate; this is the living area."
The convoy stopped in front of the villa's main gate.
This is an impressive portico with six marble columns supporting a high ceiling. A red carpet is laid in front of the entrance, and two rows of service staff, half men and half women, stand on either side, all wearing uniforms and smiling.
Qin Feng got out of the car first, then turned around and reached out his hand, playfully helping Qin Yao out of the car.
Qin Yao felt a little unsteady as she stepped onto the red carpet.
Holding up her phone and pointing the camera at the luxurious villa in front of her, she said, "My darlings...we've arrived...this is my brother's place in Africa..."
The live stream chat exploded instantly:
"A villa? This is more like a castle!"
"The military base just now, and now this luxurious manor... the contrast is just too great!"
"What kind of heavenly life did Yao Yao's brother live in Africa?"
"How much does this villa cost? How much would it cost to build one like this in Africa?"
"Look at those service staff! They're so well-trained, like employees of a five-star hotel."
At that moment, three girls got out of another Maybach.
Lin Xiaoxiao, Zhang Yue, and Li Siyu stood beside the car, gazing up at the magnificent building before them, speechless for a moment.
Qin Feng walked up to them and said gently, "You must be tired from your journey. Welcome to my manor. The rooms are ready, and dinner is prepared as well. Let's eat first, and then get some rest."
The three girls nodded mechanically, their eyes still fixed on the villa.
Qin Yao walked over and took her roommates' hands: "Let's go in and take a look!"
She was holding her phone, taking pictures as she walked.
Upon entering the villa, one is greeted by a ten-meter-high hall with a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a floor paved with gleaming marble.
Curved staircases on both sides of the lobby lead to the second floor, and directly opposite the main entrance is a huge floor-to-ceiling window with a night view of the back garden.
"My God..." Lin Xiaoxiao finally found her voice, "This...this is too luxurious..."
The staff member stepped forward and politely took the luggage from their hands.
Another team of staff brought warm towels and drinks for the group to wipe their hands and quench their thirst.
Qin Feng said to his sister, "Please wash up quickly first. We'll have lunch in the dining room in fifteen minutes. Butler Wang will take you to your room."
A man in his fifties, dressed in a black suit and with a refined demeanor, stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Ladies, please follow me."
Qin Yao glanced at her phone; the number of viewers in the live stream had exceeded 200,000, and the barrage of comments was so dense it was impossible to read them.
She said to the camera, "My darlings, I'm going to wash up first, and I'll go live again during dinner. Please wait a moment!"
She turned off the live stream, but the live stream didn't immediately go black; instead, it switched to a fixed camera view of the manor's exterior.
This was arranged in advance by Qin Feng, so that drones could film the manor's night view from the air for fans to continue watching.
Butler Wang—who is actually the head of the service-oriented cyborgs—brought four girls to the second floor.
There are four corridors here, each leading to a different area.
"Miss Qin Yao, your room is the master suite in the east wing." Butler Wang pushed open a double door. "The rooms for the three ladies are in the west wing; they are all independent suites with the same conditions."
Qin Yao walked into her room and was once again shocked.
This is a suite with an area of over 200 square meters, including a bedroom, living room, separate bathroom and walk-in closet.
In the center of the bedroom was a huge four-poster bed, covered with silk sheets and a fluffy down comforter.
The living area has a sofa, a desk, bookshelves, and even a small bar.
The bathroom not only has a shower room but also a jacuzzi, and is decorated entirely with marble.
The most stunning feature is the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows, which face the fountain in the back garden and the swimming pool in the distance, all illuminated brilliantly at night, creating a breathtaking scene.
