Pingle Reservoir.
Across the vast expanse of the lake, the European-styled Cheng Family Manor stood on the opposite side.
Surrounded by water on three sides, it nestled against the mountain and lake.
Perhaps because of many enemies, they feared retaliation.
The only road to the manor not only had super-high walls and fences, but also guards at the gate and patrolling watchdogs.

Wu Jie had his own clever plan!

After getting out of the car for a smoke and a casual chat, Wu Jie borrowed a bucket to splash water and wash the car, and then chatted while watching the fishing.
"Elder, that European-style villa on the opposite peninsula is really impressive! Whose is it?"
