Chapter 23 Aldas Manor
"So that's the case," Chi Heng still refused, "but I'm sorry, I don't know much about my uncle, so I'm afraid I can't help much."

"Please return my words to your master."

Chi Heng was about to start the car and leave.

But he didn't expect Chi Heng to stop with a single word from the housekeeper.

"Mr. Chi, as far as I know, you haven't obtained a certificate of inheritance for your house in Lake Shea."

American houses do not have real estate certificates like China, but rely on transaction records and land deeds to verify. Generally, professional title insurance companies verify the authenticity of the owner and check whether the house is mortgaged or not.

Just as Chi Heng was worried before, if he had the will of his old uncle Chen Liu, then it would prove that the old house next to Lake Shea Yi belonged to him, but if not, even if it could prove that Chen Liu was his old uncle, it would be impossible. There is no proof that the old house belongs to him.

"What are you trying to do with that?"

The naked threat couldn't be more obvious, Chi Heng tensed his facial muscles, and realized that the other party's arrival was indeed not good.

"I apologize," said the housekeeper, Hansen, still smiling, "but my master said that Mr. Chi must be seen. If Mr. Chi is unwilling to meet, then there is no guarantee that the house in Lake Shea will belong to you. And if you I am willing to meet with you, and I will help you solve relevant problems.”

Chi Heng almost laughed angrily, threatening him like that?
But not to mention, this really hit his weakness. Now, he still can't leave the shelter of the basement of the old house, at least he can't find a more suitable place than the old house right now.

But facing the invitation from Aldas Manor, Chi Heng was not only hesitant, but a little frightened.

In the notes left by the old uncle, six dangerous areas in Dock Town were highlighted and Chi Heng was warned not to go there. One of the areas was very special and it was called Aldas Manor!

It’s very strange, isn’t it? The other five dangerous areas are all no-man’s land. On the contrary, Aldas Manor is inhabited. Chi Heng had quietly inquired before and found that the residents of the town had no idea about Aldas Manor. Too much fear, knowing that it is a rich man's manor, many public facilities in the whole town were built with donations from Aldas Manor, so the residents of the town respect the owner of Aldas Manor meaning.

But the old uncle will not be aimless, since there is a problem with Aldas Manor in his notes, let him think so.

But Chi Heng didn't care too much, he probably would never go to that place in his life.

It never occurred to me that if he didn't go by himself, the housekeeper of the manor actually stopped him on the road and invited him to be a guest?
This caught Chi Heng off guard and subconsciously refused.

What I didn't expect was that when the rich threatened others, they really went straight to the weakness of others, and hit Chi Heng's weakness in one fell swoop.

"So if I don't go to see your master, do I have to take back the inheritance my uncle left me?"

Chi Heng had a sullen face and a bad tone.

"No, we don't want to do this either, please believe me, please believe in the fairness of the law."

Butler Hansen smiled.

The justice of the bullshit law!
Chi Heng swallowed his anger, and he also understood that even if he didn't have this reason, with the rich and powerful status of the other party in Dock Town, there were a thousand ways to trouble him.

"it is good."

After thinking about it, Chi Heng agreed.

After driving the pickup truck and following the Lincoln car for about half an hour, Chi Heng saw a luxurious manor, entered through the gate, and drove a long way to the mansion.

What surprised Chi Heng was that all the windows of this mansion were blocked by steel plates, which can be said to be airtight. How could anyone decorate their mansion like this?Is this living at home, or living in prison?No, prisons don't seal up all the windows.

Chi Heng got out of the car, and the butler Hansen led the way in front. All the gestures were worthy of a professional butler, and no one could find the slightest fault. With a gloomy mood, he followed behind and walked in.

I thought that the doors and windows were welded to death, and the lighting in the mansion should not be very good. I didn’t expect that when I walked in, I found that the lighting was not as bright as usual. It was like stepping into a crystal palace. All kinds of lights greeted my eyes. , with a sense of blurred dreams.

Chi Heng was dumbfounded, and blinked, only to find that there are many mirrors in the hall. These mirrors are designed and laid out with a very ingenious perspective principle, so that people who walk into the hall feel as if they are in a crystal maze, and they can't tell the direction at all.

The doors and windows outside the mansion are welded and sealed, and the interior is designed as a maze?
What kind of weirdo is the owner of this house!
Chi Heng almost forgot that Aldas Manor was the six dangerous areas that the old uncle wrote in his notes.

"Sir, please come with me."

Hansen waited for Chi Heng to come back to his senses. He seemed to be used to the reactions of the guests here, and smiled: "Don't wander around. If you get lost here, I might not be able to find you."

Chi Heng: "..."

Being able to get lost in a house, what did the designer think?In other words, what does the owner here think?

Originally thought that this manor was very dangerous, but when he really came here, Chi Heng felt strange, as if there was no danger at all?
Could it be that the records in the old uncle's notes are wrong?
The butler was right. Chi Heng soon discovered that with the cooperation of various mirrors, the whole mansion was like a super-large maze. After walking behind the butler for a while, he completely lost his sense of direction. , In addition, the windows were welded to death, and it was impossible to observe through external coordinates, which added to the intensity of the sense of confusion.

Until a room, under the luxurious decoration, was an old man in a wheelchair with his back turned to him.

"Ma'am, Mr. Chi is here."

Hansen walked to the back of the wheelchair, said softly, and at the same time grabbed the wheelchair and turned around.

Looking at the old woman facing Chi Heng, she could tell from the wrinkles on her face that she was an old man over 90 years old.

"You are Stanley Chen's nephew?"

Wearing glasses, the old lady looked carefully at Chi Heng.

"I am, may I ask you?"

"Sylvia Aldas."

The old woman looked at Chi Heng kindly: "Child, don't panic, I have no malice towards you, your uncle Stanley Chen once helped me and saved my life, he is my benefactor. "

Chi Heng remained silent, you said there was no malice?Threatening him with the matter of the old house?This is not malicious?

"You must have a lot of doubts," the old woman said with a bit of sadness in her tone, "I heard that your uncle passed away?"

"Well, because of a traffic accident..."

Chi Heng briefly explained.

"It's unfortunate that he's still so young."

The old woman sighed: "I thought I was going to walk ahead of him, but I didn't expect..."

Before she finished speaking, the old woman said again: "Since he didn't even have time to make a will for you, obviously you don't necessarily understand many things. Originally, I shouldn't disturb you, but..."
