Chapter 1875 Visiting Dad’s Friend
(I'm sorry yesterday. I drank so much that my whole body was shattered. Now I'm nauseated o(╥﹏╥)o)
"This year's Lunar New Year, would you like my father-in-law to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year together? It will be lively with the two families together." Yang Cheng suggested.
"Going to the capital to celebrate the New Year? Isn't this idea too sudden?" Lao Luo was surprised.
Yang Cheng asked Luo Yue, "Didn't you tell your father-in-law?"
Luo Yue rolled her eyes and said, "No, your father-in-law is very busy. When I meet, I always try to get in touch with you~"
After being scolded by his daughter, Lao Luo laughed and said, "You two have already discussed it?"
Yang Cheng responded, "Yes, originally it was just the two of us, but after telling my parents, they really wanted to go back and have a look."
Lao Luo hesitated for a moment, "In that case, I'll go back and discuss it with Luo Yue's mother."
. . .
After dinner, Lao Luo had to go back for a meeting. Yang Cheng asked Lao Luo to go back in his Rolls-Royce, while he got into Luo Yue's car, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"
Luo Yue is now driving Yang Cheng's Porsche 918. No one is driving this car in the garage anyway. Luo Yue is now based in Los Angeles, and Yang Cheng's car is her car.
"Originally I wanted to go back to work, but now that you're here I'll ask for leave from Manman~" Luo Yue's words were helpless, but looking at the happy expression on her face, she knew she didn't mean what she said.
"Well~ I'll take you to meet an interesting person later~" Yang Cheng said.
When chatting with his father last night, he mentioned his friend who had conducted in-depth research on the Mayan civilization. His home happened to be in Los Angeles, and Yang Cheng planned to stop by for a visit.
"Any interesting person?"
"You'll know when you get there~"
Yang Sen’s friend lives in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, which is also a wealthy area in Los Angeles. It is very similar to the community next to the San Fernando Mountains. It is located in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The environment is quiet and far away from the hustle and bustle of big cities, but it is still accessible. Easy access to the city center.
There are many high-end shopping malls and some fashionable clothing boutiques, as well as good gourmet restaurants, which attracts many wealthy families to live in Sherman Oaks.
918 drove on the highway for about 25 minutes.
Then we entered Sherman Oaks. As a high-end community, there are many kinds of independent villas, surrounded by mountains not far away. The town is built around an open-air plaza. It is not large and can be visited in a few hours. over.
The streets are comfortable and clean, the palm trees are swaying in the breeze, and the warm California sun in winter is warm and soothing, making people feel very comfortable.
Luo Yue twitched the ends of her hair that were blown by the wind and looked around curiously, "This is my first time here~"
Yang Cheng nodded, "Me too~"
He lowered his head and looked at the navigation system, pointed to the right direction of the Y-shaped intersection ahead, "Go that way, you may have to go up a mountain in a while~"
"Got it~"
Although it is a high-end community, there is not a single luxury car like the 918 here, and many young people who know cars can't help but pay attention.
When they saw a young and beautiful Asian girl driving the car, they all showed envy and jealousy. Then when they looked at the pretty face sitting in the passenger seat, they instantly turned into hatred. They couldn't help but think: What if it was them sitting in the car? How nice it would be.
Naturally, the two people in the car didn't know what the passers-by were thinking. Yang Cheng was responsible for guiding the way, and Luo Yue drove the car easily, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road from time to time. After entering the winding mountain road, the layout was similar to that of Beverly Hills, with everything on both sides being the same. It is a private manor with a large area, but the architectural style is more modern.
This also shows that the history of the community is not long.
Finally, 918 stopped in front of the gate of a manor halfway up the mountain. The gate of the manor was tightly closed, and several wall-creepers were wrapped around the rusty iron gate. Those who didn't know thought that the yard had been abandoned for many years.
"Huh? Did you go to the wrong place?" Luo Yue looked at the iron door, trying to see through.
Yang Cheng lowered his head and checked the address, "No way?"
After saying that, he pushed the door and got out of the car, walked a few steps in front of the gate, and finally found the house number on the stone pillar on the side. After comparing it to make sure it was correct, he came back and put it on the door frame of the car and said to Luo Yue, "This is the right place." , honk~"
Luo Yue naturally listened to Yang Cheng, pressed a few times quickly, and then waited quietly for a moment, "No one is there?"
Yang Cheng frowned, "Press again~"
Luo Yue pressed a few more times, and this time there seemed to be movement. Yang Cheng heard the sound of closing the door coming from the yard. Neither of them spoke. After waiting for about a minute, the mottled iron door creaked. With a sour sound, it slowly opened, and an old man with unkempt hair and a purple pajama suit walked out of it.
He glanced at Yang Cheng blankly, then at Luo Yue who was in the car, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you going the wrong way?"
Yang Cheng hurriedly said, "Is this Mr. Safra? I am Jason Yang, Yang Sen's son. I'm sorry for the sudden interruption. If it's not convenient for us, let's go first?"
The old man named Safra, wearing round spectacles, frowned and thought for a long time, "Yang Sen's son? Do you have anything to do with me?"
Yang Cheng felt relieved. It seemed that his father's name was still useful.
"That's right. My dad knew that I was interested in the Mayan civilization, so he said he had a friend who specialized in research and introduced me here."
Safra changed from being sluggish and became energetic, "Do you like Mayan culture?"
Yang Cheng hesitated, "I'm just interested~"
Safra suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha~ Okay, not bad, come in~"
After saying that, he walked in. Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment and looked at the half-open door. He had no choice but to run over and open it all by himself, letting Luo Yue drive the car in. It turned out that it might have been in disrepair and there was a block at the entrance. There is a big hole. A huge stone was placed to fill it. With the height of the 918's chassis, it is inevitable that it will hit it.
Listening to the scratching sound of the chassis, Yang Cheng felt sour in his heart, which was much more exciting than the sound of the iron door.
After finally moving the car in, Yang Cheng noticed that the roads in the manor were covered with rotten leaves, which had probably not been cleaned for several years.
Further inside, there was originally a fountain pool. Needless to say, the water inside had dried up and was also filled with fallen leaves.
The original exquisite white jade fountain pillars were also covered up by thick stains, making it almost impossible to see their original appearance. The trees in the manor were dry and withered, and overgrown with weeds. The once glorious modern two-story building now looked It's almost like a haunted house. If it weren't for broad daylight, Yang Cheng wouldn't dare to go inside.
"This damn ghost place~" Yang Cheng muttered, and seeing Luo Yue still looking for a parking space, he greeted helplessly, "Park wherever you like, there are plenty of open spaces anyway~"
When Luo Yue heard that, she thought so, so she drove around the fountain pool, finally stopped in front of the bumpy marble steps, turned off the engine and got out of the car.
He quickly walked up the steps, holding Yang Cheng's arm, and looked at the dark door with some flinching, "What kind of place is this? You won't take me to explore the haunted house, will you?"
Yang Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, this idea was okay, "This is my dad's friend. He heard that I invested in a Mayan civilization research group, so he introduced me here. I didn't expect this to be the case. I thought it was an obsession. Where is the rich man from the mysterious culture~"
After a pause, he looked at the courtyard again. He couldn't imagine the grandeur he once had, so he changed his sentence, "Maybe he was really rich before, but I don't know what he went through to become like this~"
Luo Yue tightened Yang Cheng's arm, and the two of them walked into the door one after another. As soon as they entered the door, they heard a "da da da~" sound from the motor.
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was the sound made by the pull rope when starting the engine.
‘Da da da da da~’
"Da da da~"
Then came Safra’s curse, “shit~damn broken thing~”
It was completely dark inside. Except for the area where you could see clearly due to the sunlight when you first entered the door, it became extremely dark and chilly further inside.
Yang Cheng stopped and shouted, "Mr. Safra?"
There was another series of "da-da-da~" sounds, and then Safra replied, "Don't worry, there will be electricity when I start the engine~"
Yang Cheng was speechless and shouted, "It's daytime now, why don't you open the curtains?"
"Damn, why didn't I think of that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of running sounds coming from downstairs, and the empty echo rarely penetrated anyone.
Not long after, the footsteps got closer and closer, and Safra came back into sight, "In order to be able to sleep at any time, I haven't opened the curtains for a long time~"
Yang Cheng no longer knew how to describe her feelings at this time, so she forced a smile and said, "It's okay, can I help you?"
"No, I'll go pull it. It'll be fine in a while~"
After saying this, he ran away without waiting for Yang Cheng to respond.
There were no surprises this time. Soon, as the rooms became brighter, the eerie feeling just now was melted by the sunlight. Yang Cheng clearly heard Luo Yue behind him let out a heavy sigh of relief.
At this time, Yang Cheng could take a good look at the interior of the house. As soon as he entered, there was a long corridor leading directly to the backyard. In the middle of the long corridor was a spiral staircase connecting the upper floors to the underground. There was a living room on both sides of the stairs, and further inside was the kitchen. Inside The layout is very old and not as modern as it looks.
The living room on the right is very large. It should be the main reception room. It is usually used to receive guests. However, it is filled with all kinds of paper documents, including books, printing papers, and a lot of kraft paper that looks like writing. The huge bookcase takes up a lot of space. Both walls and the floor were piled with manuscripts, and there was basically no room for them.
Yang Cheng also saw the same situation at Dick Gil's home in Peru. He didn't think it was strange. All researchers are like this, informal.
But this was the first time Luo Yue saw it, and she was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide enough to fit a goose egg.
"This, this, this is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
Safra suddenly appeared from behind the two of them, "Sorry, it's a bit confusing~"
Compared to Dick Gill, Safra obviously has some knowledge of the world, which is not difficult to understand. After all, he was rich before and there were not many stupid businessmen. He must understand the minimum of the world.
Luo Yue was startled again, almost biting the tip of her tongue to suppress the desire to scream, and hurriedly turned sideways to let Safra in, while she kept patting her chest to comfort herself in panic.
Yang Cheng took the opportunity to look at the private living room opposite. It was similar to here, but there were a few more blackboards and a lot of electronic equipment. The bookcases displayed all kinds of strange things. It was hard to tell the specific ones. Species, anyway, there are more than a dozen bone-like things.
