Chapter 347 Buy an island and build a "Lin Family Manor"
Lin Zhou didn't even bother to listen to Old Chen's dying report about the Chu family woman.
He turned and walked back to his study, stopping in front of a huge, handmade leather world map.
His gaze swept past the bustling international financial centers and finally settled on a patch of azure in the depths of the South Pacific.
Long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles extended and tapped precisely on a green spot far from the hustle and bustle.
"This is it."
Lin Zhou's words carried an undeniable decisiveness.
"Old Chen, I need to see the ownership transfer documents for this place in front of me within three hours."
Su Qingge walked over and looked at the isolated island on the map that was almost swallowed by the Pacific Ocean.
"This place doesn't even have a freshwater system or an electricity grid. Are you sure you want to take the children to this deserted island to survive?"
She raised an eyebrow, somewhat amused.
"Survival? Those two words don't even exist in my dictionary, Lin Zhou."
Lin Zhou smiled slyly and silently activated the long-dormant system in his mind.
[Ding! Strong desire for retirement detected in the host. Hidden infrastructure benefits activated!]
The full-ecosystem physical defense patch for 'Anno Island' has been loaded, including: Particle Invisibility Barrier, Deep-Sea Anti-Submarine Radar, and Quantum Storm Interceptor.
[System Comment: In this world, unless the earth's crust is destroyed, no one can disturb the host from being a stay-at-home dad.]
Lin Zhou smiled with satisfaction; this was the confidence that technology brought.
"Honey, don't worry, this place is a million times safer than the White House in Washington right now."
He put his arm around Su Qingge's waist and pointed to the 3D design of the manor that the madman had rushed out overnight.
"Look, this is our future home, the Lin Family Manor."
It is a massive architectural complex that perfectly blends Eastern garden aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
Nestled between mountains and the sea, the buildings are arranged in a harmonious and picturesque manner.
On the far west side of the manor is a completely transparent crystal building.
That was a top-notch ocean-view music room that Lin Zhou specially built for Su Qingge.
The surrounding walls are made of acoustic nano glass, which not only isolates the sound of the violent waves from the outside world, but also amplifies the resonance of the vocal cords to a perfect state.
"Didn't you like practicing your voice by the sea? From now on, you'll be the only listener on this sea."
Lin Zhou whispered in Su Qingge's ear, his tone full of unreasonable domineering.
Su Qingge looked at the exquisitely beautiful music room and felt a slight tremor in her heart.
This man is always like this; he says the laziest things, yet he always manages to place her dreams at the highest level.
"Dad! What about me? Where is my amusement park?"
Nuonuo, carrying her heavy little yellow duck backpack, eagerly bounced around Lin Zhou's legs.
"You'll get your share, my little darling."
Lin Zhou smiled and picked up his daughter, pointing to a pink area on the south side of the manor.
It was a private fairytale amusement park covering nearly 10,000 square meters.
Inside, there is not only a pure gold castle that was moved from Disney to scale, but also a holographic roller coaster track that circles the entire mountain.
"From now on, you can go as crazy as you want inside, and no kindergarten teacher will dare to call me to complain anymore."
Nuonuo looked at the pink castle in the design drawing, her big eyes filled with sparkling little stars.
"Wow! Dad is the most amazing magician in the world!"
"What about An'an?"
Su Qingge glanced at her son, who was lying in the cradle, happily nibbling on her toes.
The little guy was unusually well-behaved today, not crying or making a fuss.
Lin Zhou curled his lip in disdain and pointed to the endless green lawn on the north side of the manor.
"We've prepared 500 acres of natural grassland for this kid."
"Once he learns to walk, he'll roll around in the mud with those miniature horses that were airlifted from New Zealand."
"Boys should eat more soil to grow strong, so they won't end up as weaklings."
Lin Zhou's masculine double standards in education once again made Su Qingge roll her eyes in exasperation.
Old Chen stood to the side, holding the closed-loop transfer agreement that he had just printed out via satellite fax.
"Young Master, all the formalities have been completed."
Old Chen's voice trembled slightly as he looked at the design plan for the manor, a project whose total cost was enough to buy several small European countries, and wiped his sweat.
"When Crown Prince Kashar heard that you wanted to buy an island, he sent over three surrounding archipelagos as well, saying it was a bonus for the young master's one-month celebration."
"Those Middle Eastern tycoons have nothing but lots of land."
Lin Zhou took the document, didn't even glance at it, and threw it directly into the trash can.
"Tell him that I appreciate the favor, and that if their oil stocks are shorted by Wall Street in the future, the Lin family will help them out."
This is the power Lin Zhou currently wields.
Even though he has put down his pen and announced his retirement.
A promise he casually made could still become a shield for those small countries during international turmoil.
"Young Master, what about these antiques in the West Hill Manor and Madam's trophies...?"
Old Chen asked somewhat hesitantly.
"Pack them all up and ship them over in batches using our own transport planes."
As Lin Zhou spoke, he turned to look at his suitcase, which was almost fully packed.
"Don't leave anything behind. We won't be able to come back to the capital more than a few times a year from now on."
Nuonuo held the design drawings in her arms, already imagining the scene of riding a giant crab on the beach.
The little girl toddled over to the cradle and patted her little brother's bottom sympathetically.
"Little brother, you need to drink more milk."
"Dad said there's a big monster on the island. If you don't grow stronger, the big monster will grab you and eat you as a snack."
Lin An was slapped by his sister, spat out a huge saliva bubble, and giggled.
He also seemed to have a deep-seated anticipation for the new world that was about to arrive.
Su Qingge looked at the two children, and then at her husband who was leaning against the table calculating flight times.
Those past feuds and bloodshed among the wealthy families have now become nothing more than a faded, yellowed backdrop.
"Lin Zhou, does this count as us eloping?"
Su Qingge walked to his side and asked somewhat mischievously.
"Elopement? We call this taking all the wealth in the world to enjoy a life of leisure."
Lin Zhou kissed her lips, his eyes a perfect blend of wildness and tenderness.
Outside the hall, the Lin family's black convoy of assassins was ready to depart.
"Young Master, it's time to board."
Old Chen called out respectfully from outside the door.
Lin Zhou released his wife, picked up his daughter, and whistled at his son in the cradle.
"Goodbye, you little rascals."
"Let's go home."
