Chapter 808 - A Different Kind of Garden

Over the past two days, Jiang Cheng spent most of his time in the Courtyard House, playing chess and chatting with his Great-Grandfather and Second Grandfather.

Occasionally, he would also follow Chen Ping for a leisurely stroll through the vast and beautiful exclusive garden in the back.

The private garden was filled with all sorts of rare and precious animals.

Colorful peacocks paced leisurely through the garden, not fearing strangers at all, as if they were the true masters of this place.

Meanwhile, Mandrills with unique faces resembling Beijing Opera masks peeked at them stealthily from the side.

Not only that, but incredibly lazy sloths were curled up quietly in the corners... The entire environment appeared full of raw, natural beauty, yet subtle details revealed that people must come here every day to meticulously clean and maintain it.

Who would have expected that such a paradise-like place was hidden within the bustling and noisy Capital?

Watching Chen Ping, who followed him like a shadow with a pistol at his side to protect him, Jiang Cheng asked curiously.

"You've risen to this position at such a young age; your family background must be extraordinary, right?"

Hearing this, the expression on Chen Ping's face froze instantly.

However, after only a second, he quickly snapped back to his senses.

"Young Master Jiang, you are right, but my family background is certainly insignificant compared to yours. My grandfather followed the Old Master from his youth until retirement, and now my father has been assigned to the Sichuan-Tibet region for training."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng understood immediately.

So he was someone close to Great-Grandfather.

Jiang Cheng still held deep respect in his heart for these soldiers who wore uniforms and bore heavy responsibilities.

Moreover, after spending time with Chen Ping, although his favorability value toward Jiang Cheng was only 80 points, his loyalty had reached 90.

Furthermore, the Danger Perception Skill had never been triggered.

"Thank you!"

Hearing this, Chen Ping's heart couldn't help but tremble.

In his eyes, Jiang Cheng was no different from other decadent Second-generation rich.

But this sincere expression of gratitude at this moment caused him to daze for a second.

Chen Ping bowed to Jiang Cheng without hesitation, showing full loyalty and commitment.

He said solemnly, "Young Master Jiang, you overstate it. Defending the country is a soldier's duty. If it weren't for the group of people like the Old Master who rose up in rebellion, who knows where the fate of our Huaxia would be mired right now."

"The moment I became a soldier, I took an oath. I will put my life and death aside just to defend the peace of the motherland. Protecting our country's most precious people is an even more unshakable responsibility. There is no need for thanks, Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand gently toward him with a casual expression.

"Don't just bow all the time, and there's no need to keep calling me Young Master Jiang. Just call me by my name."

Chen Ping, naturally, did not take Jiang Cheng's words seriously.

With the current power and influence of the Jiang Family, perhaps more than half of the authority in all of Huaxia was in their hands.

How would he dare to call Jiang Cheng directly by his name?

Jiang Cheng pointed his finger at a chimpanzee sitting quietly in a corner.

"Why do the animals in here all look so well-behaved?"

After hearing this, Chen Ping nodded, "This was originally just a natural garden, and there weren't many species of animals. Most of the animals you see now were rescued from illegal smuggling circuses."

"Most of them have been trained to be very docile. Plus, there are professionals responsible for feeding and caring for them every day, so normally, they won't proactively attack anyone."

Jiang Cheng looked around, feeling the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere, and couldn't help but praise, "This place gives off a feeling of being blessed by nature."

"Young Master Jiang, this plot of land was meticulously surveyed and selected by experts. The magnetic field here is very special. Once a person enters, their nervous system naturally relaxes. It is an excellent place for self-cultivation."

Jiang Cheng nodded thoughtfully in agreement.

This claim indeed had some scientific basis to support it.

It is well known that the Earth's magnetic field has a profound impact on many things. It can not only interfere with certain signals and power transmissions but is even closely related to human health.

For instance, in those undeveloped deep forests, if there is a chaotic magnetic field, ordinary people might experience discomfort such as headaches and palpitations once they enter.

However, when in an environment with a good magnetic field, people often feel happy, as if the pressure on them has suddenly lightened.

After strolling around the Courtyard House, Jiang Cheng slowly walked back into the courtyard.

At this time, Great-Grandfather was sitting in front of the main hall drinking tea. Seeing Jiang Cheng return, he put down his teacup and said with a smile.

"My dear grandson, if you feel bored and want to go for a walk, you can have Chen Ping accompany you. He is very familiar with the Capital and can take you to some places ordinary people can't enter! Those places require identification to get in."

As Great-Grandfather spoke, he prepared to stand up to arrange the matter.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng quickly waved his hand to stop him, "No need, Great-Grandfather. I'll go by myself. I'm not used to having so many people follow me."

Although scenes like the airport pickup were quite cool, it always felt a bit aloof.

Even though he now knew the extraordinary strength and background behind his family.

He still preferred to wander freely alone through the streets and alleys full of the breath of life, feeling the ordinary yet real atmosphere of the mundane world.

Just like when he usually went on dates with Girls, he could go wherever he wanted to eat.

After these two days, Jiang Cheng's shock regarding his background had already cooled down and settled.

To be able to accept his position so quickly without becoming conceited, and then to calm down rapidly, Jiang Cheng felt that his psychological quality was quite good.

Actually, most of the credit for Jiang Cheng's psychological quality went to his parents.

Their education of Jiang Cheng neither pursued excessive luxury nor made him pinch pennies or live a tight life.

In most cases, Jiang Cheng was in a state of relative contentment.

Because of this, when he later obtained the tycoon system, he only felt conceited for a short period before quickly regaining his composure.

And in the following months, he gradually adapted to the impact brought by various sums of money.

At first, it was only tens of millions, then hundreds of millions, and then he obtained billions in funding through various cards.

It could be said that all these experiences were a process of gradually improving and sublimating his psychological quality.

Besides, Jiang Cheng had actually already had a premonition about his new identity.

Therefore, even though he faced a row of soldiers saluting him in front of his house from time to time over the past two days, he did not feel any sense of superiority or arrogance.

Seeing Jiang Cheng refuse, Great-Grandfather immediately followed up.

"The two of us have also prepared a car for you. It's the kind of sports car you young people like most. I heard you've already bought several yourself, but this car seems to be a limited edition. Your Second Grandfather specifically had someone ship it over a few years ago. It seems to be called something 'di'..." Great-Grandfather said, scratching his head.

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, "It wouldn't be a bugatti, would it?"

Hearing this, Second Grandfather immediately said with pride, "Yes, yes, yes, that's the sports car brand! I remember Jianming also loved driving sports cars when he was young."

"In the past, every time I went out for business, as long as I saw a good car, I would find a way to bring one back for him. Although this bugatti is a model from several years ago, it is a unique limited edition in the world. There is only one in the entire world. I've forgotten a bit, was it called 'The Black Night' or something?"

As Second Grandfather finished, a proud smile appeared on his face.
