"Bro, hurry up, hurry up! The goods are all loaded, let's get going!"

"Coming, coming!"

Outside a building in Mingyue Community, at least forty or fifty years old, its walls dilapidated.

A beautiful girl in a floral dress bounced out from the corridor below, her face radiant with a bright smile.

Behind her followed a tall figure, young in appearance but exuding a calm, weighty aura.

"Xiao Yun, you're moving, huh?"

"Yes, Aunt Qian."

"Hehe, I heard you're moving to Beiyan Fengjing? I've heard it's a luxury community!"

"Hehe, that's right, Aunt Liu, come visit sometime when you're free!"

"Good good, I will, I definitely will!"

"......"

Watching the lively girl, brimming with youthful energy, skipping ahead of her brother.

Many neighbors resting in the community courtyard couldn't help but smile.

They had heard of the girl's strange illness a year ago.

Now that they saw her cured and restored to health, they felt genuine joy.

"Zhou Yi is really impressive."

Looking at the tall figure behind her, also smiling, many neighbors praised him.

Over the past year, they had watched Zhou Yi's actions closely.

Every day after school, he went to the hospital to bring food for his sister, then went out to work odd jobs.

Many felt heartbroken for him.

At first, everyone had planned to raise donations for them, but he had firmly stopped them with, "Uncles, Aunts, it's fine—I have a way."

Faced with such a stubborn, resilient child, they had no way and could only give up.

Fortunately, as he had said, though hard, he had ultimately held on.

Now, he had become widely known.

Not only had he cured his own sister, but he was also about to move into a luxury community.

"Aunt Qian, Aunt Liu, Uncle Wang... we're off now!"

At the community gate, Zhou Yi waved goodbye to the neighbors inside.

The city's efficiency was swift; the day after he was specially recruited, his household registration at Beiyan Fengjing was already completed.

Coincidentally, Xiao Yun's hospital observation period had ended, and she could be discharged.

So he simply hired a truck in the afternoon, packed up the rented apartment's belongings, and prepared to move to his new home.

And throughout this past year, though he lived in a rented apartment,

he had received much care from these neighbors.

Now that he was moving away, he could not possibly leave without a word.

"Uncles, Aunts, goodbye!"

Zhou Yun waved her small hand too.

She hadn't lived long in this community before being hospitalized, but she remembered the kindness of these neighbors.

"Let's go."

After saying goodbye, Zhou Yi and Zhou Yun got into the truck.

"Boom—"

Amid the low rumble of the engine, the truck started and sped toward Beiyan Fengjing Community.

At this moment, in the bustling city center.

At the end of Yingbin Avenue, the normally closed gates of the luxury community Beiyan Fengjing stood wide open.

At the entrance, many well-dressed, dignified-looking individuals waited quietly—clearly people of high status.

Such a grand scene drew curious glances from many residents strolling within the community.

"Whoa, isn't that Secretary Zhao from the city government?"

"Director Jia from the Education Bureau is here too!"

"Hmm, this scene—looks like some big shot is moving into our community."

"......"

Residents of Beiyan Fengjing Community already held some power.

Now, seeing this, they realized:

Among the crowd waiting at the gate were many high-ranking officials from the municipal government and education bureau—people they normally couldn't even meet.

Seeing this, many simply stayed inside the community to wait.

They wanted to see who could possibly warrant so many high officials waiting here.

"Old Yang, Old Zhao, what are you two doing over here?"

At that moment, a middle-aged man, no more than thirty, walked over curiously.

"Uncle Yang, Uncle Li."

Behind him, a sixteen-year-old girl with a delicate face politely greeted them too.

"Yanzhuo, you're here."

Old Yang smiled warmly, glancing involuntarily at the girl beside him and praising:

"Your Wanting is growing more beautiful every day."

A slender, willowy figure, with delicate and pretty features.

Though only sixteen and still a touch green, the young girl already possessed no small charm.

"Thank you for the praise, Uncle Yang."

Li Wanting gave a sweet smile.

"Haha, far too kind, far too kind."

Li Yanzhuo gave a modest smile, then asked again out of curiosity:

"What's everyone gathered over here for?"

"Well, just look over there and you'll see."

Following Old Yang's indication, Li Yanzhuo immediately spotted the cluster of people standing at the entrance of the residential compound.

"Secretary Zhao, Director Jia, sheesh, and several other High-ranking members within the city?!"

Making out the appearance of that group, Li Yanzhuo's eyes instantly went wide and he sucked in a sharp breath.

Any single one of these people, pulled out on their own, would be someone he had to desperately curry favor with.

Yet now they had all gathered here at once.

What on earth was going on?

"Just wait, there must be some big shot coming over, probably someone sent from the provincial district."

Old Li didn't turn his head, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the residential compound, afraid of missing a single moment.

"Someone sent from the provincial district? Then I should stick around and wait too."

Li Yanzhuo said hurriedly.

Don't be ridiculous—someone coming from the provincial district, if he could make their acquaintance, he could rise to greatness on the spot!

Even if they weren't from the provincial district, with a lineup like this, their status definitely wouldn't be low either, and would still be well worth getting to know.

In any case, waiting couldn't be wrong!!

"Dad, you wait here then, I'll head back first."

Li Wanting had no interest in this sort of thing, and was just about to turn and leave.

Suddenly, the sound of braking came from the entrance.

She instinctively looked over and saw a tall, stalwart, elongated figure step down from the cargo truck.

And looking at that faintly familiar face, Li Wanting couldn't help but freeze for a moment:

"This is... Yi... bro?"
