CHAPTER 759: CHAPTER 757: FILTHY RICH

Yun Ran and her party were currently sitting on sedan chairs, leisurely circumnavigating from the front mountain to the back mountain.

Most people climbing the front mountain were there to enjoy the scenery and watch the sunrise, while those going to the back mountain were more about enjoying the comfortable environment.

The back mountain boasted numerous farm-style resorts, high-end luxury hotels, and even professional ski resorts, attracting many ski enthusiasts to come here.

All the way, they were carried, having already switched through three groups of specialized sedan bearers.

At each rest point, replacements would come.

"Sir, Madam, ahead is the last rest point for the sedan chairs. We can only carry you that far.

Are you planning to visit the farmhouse resorts in the back mountain? It’s the peak season now, and rooms are especially hard to book.

If you need, we can contact our internal personnel to help you book rooms..."

Yun Ran, who had her eyes closed initially, realized from their words that they were trying to solicit business, hoping to get commissions.

This kind of understood practice was something Yun Ran was always willing to indulge.

"Alright, book the best, the most expensive ones!"

Yun Ran’s words left the enthusiastic solicitor momentarily stunned.

In the past, they had always solicited business this way, but no one had ever asked them to book the most expensive rooms.

The rooms they managed to sell, due to their connections with internal personnel, were generally the economical and affordable ones.

The most expensive rooms were only reserved when someone specifically booked them; otherwise, typically, no one would be willing to spend like that.

After all, even the cheapest ones cost tens of thousands a night.

At this point, he was unsure whether this guest genuinely wanted to book or was just being sarcastic.

However, in the service industry, you can’t get upset even if a guest is being sarcastic; you even have to pretend not to understand.

"Madam, the type of best and most expensive room you mentioned in this resort costs at least tens of thousands, it’s not cost-effective..."

His words were cut off by Yun Ran: "Money is not an issue, we just want the most expensive. Book three rooms first!"

Perhaps Yun Ran’s words were so affirmative that it was hard not to believe them.

Upon reaching the last rest point, the sedan bearers immediately contacted the people responsible for booking.

The latter thought booking three such expensive rooms at once was a joke.

Until Yun Ran paid through their provided reservation interface, only then did the hotel staff accept this fact.

Yun Ran’s financial extravagance caught much attention, despite the distance to the hotel.

Soon, many private guides approached, offering to show Yun Ran and her party around.

"Sir, Madam, there are still many things to do in the back mountain, but with so many people here, there are long queues for various spots.

Especially at the cable cars and the ski resorts, if you want to ski, I can help find you a quality but affordable coach, without the need to queue..."

It was obvious these people were earnestly promoting themselves.

Xie Xuzhi pretended to be weak throughout, leaving all decisions to Yun Ran.

Since they were acting as bait, they naturally had to play the part well.

For example, to avoid suspicion, they would deliberately blend into the crowd.

"Alright, you then, but we’re staying for a few days, so there’s no rush to experience those activities.

First, take us to the hotel to rest. We’re tired today; we’ll decide where to go after resting."

Others might want to overuse a private guide to get their full money’s worth.

Guides usually charge by the day, after all.

Yun Ran’s behavior further showcased her lavishness, treating money as if it were nothing.

"Alright, no problem, I’ll go arrange things; please rest here for a moment."

Saying this, the guide jogged off to make arrangements, determined to give Yun Ran and her party the best experience.

Ginsengfruit approached Yun Ran, whispering, "Host, are we being too extravagant?"

Yun Ran glanced at Ginsengfruit and said lightly, "What’s extravagant about this? This is the standard for aristocratic family travel.

In the past, when we traveled lightly, it was because I wanted to keep a low profile, and also because of time constraints.

Now that we’re the bait, being too low-key would make them suspicious of us setting a trap."

Who, while injured, would push themselves to such lengths?

Indeed, to others, especially those who knew their identities, their previous light travel was akin to a monk’s lifestyle.

Only days like these are normal.

And to prevent others from suspecting anything, it’s crucial to act as if everything were still a regular day.

Ginsengfruit understood every word, but strung together, it made his head spin.

Humans do have peculiar thought processes.

"Who knows how long they’ll watch us and when they’ll make their move."

Xie Xuzhi had no objection to Yun Ran’s arrangements.

It was a test of endurance between them and those watching them from behind the scenes.

The guide returned quickly; this order from Yun Ran could earn him quite a bit, afraid of serving alone, he roped in another collaborator for help.

A minibar exclusive to the Five Emperors Mountain attractions pulled up before Yun Ran and company.

Ginsengfruit eyed the minibar critically, not exactly disdainful but feeling his expectations were dashed.

Until on board, they saw the interior decor, like a cozy café nook.

Ginsengfruit immediately sensed the luxury travel standard.

Watching as their vehicle drove away, a sanitation worker at the rest point fixated on the license plate.

Once the vehicle was out of sight, the sanitation worker pushed his cart back to the work area.

Unbeknownst to others, the sanitation cart housed the latest pinhole surveillance equipment.

"Master, I couldn’t get close to Yun Ran and them, but I can confirm, except the child, Yun Ran and Young Master Xie are badly injured.

They suspect someone from us is here and are pretending to blend in like ordinary tourists to divert our attention.

Now, they’re heading to the hotel, I suspect they’re seeking a place to heal!"
