The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

More than half an hour has passed since Ling Yun entered this top-tier villa.

During this half hour, Director Yang first introduced him to the villa's butler, Lao Li, also known as Li Guowei, who came from the Social Work Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

The name "Social Work Department of the Central Government Office" sounds ordinary, but once upon a time, it was a special entity that countless people in Hong Kong and Macau feared.

Although times have changed, the importance of the Social Work Department remains unquestioned, and Yu Wei is still here!

Old Li, who comes from the Social Work Department of the Central Government Office, may look like a middle-aged man in his early fifties, but anyone who dares to underestimate him is simply blind and asking for trouble!

This can be seen from his strong, well-proportioned muscles, tall and upright physique, and the occasional glint of light in his eyes!

After introducing Lao Li, Director Yang stopped introducing him.

Old Li picked up the conversation and introduced all the staff members in this top-tier villa one by one.

This includes the general staff responsible for internal affairs, the cooks and drivers, and the security team, etc., without exception!

Like Lao Li, these people either come from the Central Office or the State Council system. Everyone has a clear background and clean record, and they all have connections in mainland China!

As Lao Li introduced them, Ling Yun stepped forward and shook hands with everyone one by one, getting to know each other.

After getting to know everyone, he took the opportunity to talk about the remuneration and bonus.

These employees with special status already had a salary from their respective units, and on top of that, Lingyun gave them an even more generous salary and bonus.

The salary he offered was about five times that of Lao Li and his colleagues at their original workplace.

Even more extravagant are the bonuses, which are divided into monthly bonuses, quarterly bonuses, semi-annual bonuses, and year-end bonuses.

If a person works normally and without any mistakes, working in this top-tier villa for a full year, the total bonus they can receive will exceed three million Hong Kong dollars.

Old Li, who serves as the housekeeper, and the security team members who bear the greatest risks and have the heaviest tasks, can receive a bonus of up to five million Hong Kong dollars!

Hearing about such amazing compensation, Lao Li and his colleagues were naturally overjoyed!

Seeing that Ling Yun already knew everyone, Old Li smiled and said:

"Mr. Ling, since you're coming to Hong Kong Island for work and will be staying here for a while, we'd better do as the Romans do to avoid giving ourselves away!"

"From today onwards, we will address you as Mr. Ling in public. You are our boss. Calling you by your first name won't work here!"

"Hong Kong Island may seem open, but some of its ideas are actually outdated, such as the practice of concubinage, which was not abolished until the 1970s."

Hearing this, Ling Yun smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then let's do as the Romans do. Being too unconventional will indeed easily expose our weaknesses!"

"But we don't need to be so formal in this villa. I'm a pretty easygoing person and don't care too much about formalities!"

"Okay, we'll keep that in mind."

Old Li nodded slightly, then changed the subject.

"It's almost midnight now, it's late, and you must be tired after a long flight of over ten hours!"

"You should get some rest. We won't bother you any longer. I'll tell you more about the details of this villa tomorrow after you've had your morning nap!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the others.

Everyone naturally understood what he meant, and they all chimed in to say goodnight to Lingyun.

Following closely behind, Director Yang also got up to say goodbye and prepared to return to the Central Office.

He will come again tomorrow morning to help Lingyun with some things, and then take him to the Central Office to meet with relevant personnel for a meeting!

Among the relevant personnel mentioned here is Chairman Rong!

In the blink of an eye, Director Yang and Old Li had led everyone away, and the main building of the villa immediately became quiet!

After seeing them off at the villa and closing the gate, Ling Yun turned back to look at the living room of this top-tier mansion.

Looking at the palatial mansion before him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and a feeling that this was the life a man should have!

The only regret is that I live alone in this main building, which has a floor area of ​​over 2,000 square meters and five floors including two basements.

Standing in the middle of the villa's living room and shouting, you can even hear your own echo; it feels somewhat empty!

If Da Meiyuan and Leilei were all here, that kind of harmonious life would be perfect!

Thinking of this, he reached for his cell phone and casually pressed the power button.

As soon as I turned on my phone, a bunch of missed calls and unread text messages popped up, just like always!

Compared to when I boarded the plane in Costa Rica a dozen hours ago, I now have four or five times more missed calls and unread text messages.

This included missed phone calls and unread text messages.

Among these missed calls and unread text messages were calls and text messages from his parents and Da Meiyuan, all expressing their concern for him.

They were all getting anxious when they saw that he hadn't been contacted all day, his phone was always switched off, and he had disappeared from the news.

This can be seen from the words in their text messages!

Seeing their concerned and anxious text messages, Lingyun felt a warm current surge in her heart. It felt so good to be cared for and loved!

Besides his family and girlfriend, many friends, childhood friends, and classmates also called and sent him a lot of text messages.

These guys had different concerns; most of them were asking Ling Yun how he suddenly became a super-rich man and whether he could help everyone get rich, and so on.

A few close friends and childhood buddies kept clamoring that they wanted to fleece Ling Yun, that rich bastard, countless times to get revenge for being treated like an idiot and kept in the dark for so long!

Among these people, several unread text messages sent by Li Wen stood out.

"I still can't get in touch with my parents, Lingyun. Did you call the police? Or do the Washington police just not handle these kinds of cases?"

"It's been a whole day. My parents have been out of contact for 24 hours. I hope nothing bad has happened to them."

"Why are you out of contact too? Lingyun, didn't the financial summit end? Did something happen to you too? Call me back as soon as you see this!"

……

Looking at the series of text messages sent by Li Wen, Ling Yun shook his head helplessly.

He didn't reply immediately, but continued scrolling down.

In a short while, he found the information he wanted.

The last unread text message was sent 20 minutes ago by Deputy Director Zhang.

"I heard you've successfully arrived in Hong Kong Island, which means the evacuation operation was a complete success. You can relax a bit now!"

"You can turn on your personal cell phone and contact family and friends as long as you don't discuss confidential matters. You still need to be careful in Hong Kong."

"One more thing, your phone number will be subject to the strictest anti-eavesdropping measures, so you can use your phone to make calls with peace of mind, without worrying about being wiretapped."

"Furthermore, your sudden disappearance has attracted the attention of certain individuals and institutions, including Goldman Sachs's Lloyd and Paulson."

"The delegation won't rush to make a public statement on this matter. Let those guys speculate. We'll make a public statement after the APEC meeting..."

Upon seeing Deputy Director Zhang's long text message, Ling Yun's lips immediately curled into a smile.

Immediately afterwards, he typed a reply with lightning speed.

"Received. Thank you for your concern and care, SZ. Everything is going well on my end. I wish the delegation continued success at the APEC meeting."

After sending the text message, he casually found his mother's phone number and dialed it directly!
