When Zhou Chao got off the car, Chen Nan quickly walked up to him. “Boss, hello!”

Zhou Chao had overheard their conversation just now and nodded lightly. “Let’s go inside. It’s quite chilly outside.”

Chen Nan hurriedly led Zhou Chao towards the villa. “Boss, this villa was built later, specially arranged byDiretor Ling.”

Hearing that the villa was arranged by Ling Chen, Zhou Chao looked somewhat surprised and glanced at Chen Nan beside him. “Oh, I didn’t expect Ling Chen to be so considerate, even having the villa built.”

“Boss, this villa is specially customized with a steel structure, so the construction was very fast. It took about half a month to finish the decoration. Please, boss, come inside.” Chen Nan opened the villa’s door, bowing slightly and gesturing with his right hand to invite Zhou Chao in.

Entering the house, Zhou Chao noticed that the style of the house had a distinct Huaxia flavor. The ground floor of the villa was about two to three hundred square meters in size, with the hall occupying about 70 square meters. What caught Zhou Chao’s attention the most was the fireplace on the wall of the hall.

The second floor of the villa had four bedrooms, with the largest master bedroom being about 80 square meters, while the other three bedrooms were about 30 square meters each. However, each bedroom had its own bathroom, and there was even a bathtub for soaking.

After a quick tour, Zhou Chao inspected every corner of the villa. “Chen Nan, are there any vacant spots in the other wooden houses? Take Lin Wu and the others to settle the rest of the people downstairs.”

“Don’t worry, boss. There’s not much here, but there’s plenty of living space.” Chen Nan then led Lin Wu and the others towards the other wooden houses.

When Zhou Chao came down from the bedroom, he noticed that the fireplace in the hall was already burning brightly, adding a touch of warmth to the entire room. Zhou Chao took off his down jacket and sat down on the chair next to the fireplace.

“Boss, have some red tea to warm up,” Chen Nan came out of the kitchen with a large pot of tea.

Zhou Chao took a sip of the red tea and felt warmth spreading throughout his body. “Thank you. Now, tell me about the situation of this ranch.”

“Boss, the entire ranch has six local employees. We have about 5000 acres of pasture, with mountainous areas occupying about 13,000 acres. In addition to the place where we currently live and the farm, there are 1000 acres, and the remaining 1000 acres are in front of our ranch, facing Lake Baikal.

Currently, there are no animals being raised on the ranch, so I’ve let all the local employees go back to rest,” Chen Nan reported briefly on the situation of the entire ranch.

Zhou Chao nodded lightly. He knew that his entire ranch was a horizontal rectangle, so the area near Lake Baikal was very small.

Although most of the ranch was occupied by mountainous forests, Zhou Chao knew that the real valuable resources were in the mountainous areas, as the previous gold mine was located within his ranch’s scope.

Just as Zhou Chao was lost in thought, the distant howls of wolves reached his ears. He snapped back to attention instantly. “Do wild animals often come by here?”

“Well, sometimes some animals do come to our place, but we’ve never had wolves before.”

Before Chen Nan could finish speaking, Lin Wu and Lev hurriedly ran in. Lev was carrying a sniper rifle, and Zhou Chao immediately recognized it as the “Twilight” from Huaxia.

The SVLK-14S, also known as the Twilight, was specially designed by Huaxia for special forces to achieve precise targeting in harsh environments, especially at night. With a barrel length of 90 centimeters and weighing 18 kilograms, it used a .408 caliber rifle bullet with a muzzle velocity of 900 meters per second and a maximum range of 4200 meters. It was made of Kevlar carbon composite material, suitable for use in both high-temperature tropical and low- temperature regions.

Lev noticed that everyone’s gaze was focused on his rifle. “Boss, do you want to give it a try?” he said, handing the sniper rifle to Zhou Chao.

“Of course, I’d like to try.” For a man, the lifelong hobbies were nothing more than money, guns, and women.

Zhou Chao had played with sniper rifles before, but it was always shooting at targets. Now, he had the chance to shoot at animals, which felt completely different.

Taking the sniper rifle from Lev, Zhou Chao carefully inspected it for a moment before standing up and walking towards the outside of the house, with Lin Wu’s men following closely behind.

Zhou Chao, holding the sniper rifle, quickly headed towards the edge of the ranch’s residential area. The howls of the wolves just now came from this direction. Due to the recent snowfall, everyone didn’t run very fast. Chen Nan, who was following behind, accidentally slipped and fell.

“Boss, slow down a bit and be careful,” Lin Wu shouted loudly from behind.

Neither Lev nor Chen Nan had expected the boss to have such good stamina, and he even held a sniper rifle in his hand. The three of them couldn’t catch up with Zhou Chao’s pace.

“Boss has trained before. How come I, with such a physique, still can’t keep up with his pace?” Lev looked at Lin Wu beside him in disbelief and asked.

“Don’t underestimate the boss. He’s proficient in everything. To put it bluntly, even though you’re strong, you might not win if you fight him,” Lin Wu recalled the time when he had sparred with Zhou Chao before and found himself being suppressed.

Hearing this, Lev’s eyes lit up with a hint of excitement, muttering quietly, “I should find the boss for some training when I have the chance.”
