More than sixty percent of the area is covered in greenery, and medical care, training facilities, leisure, and shopping are all fully provided.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The stream running through the Military Residential District branches off from the Jade Spring River that flows across the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhong Hong continued her introduction, Yang Yourong even forgot the things she had wanted to tell her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole family could not help looking around in every direction, marveling again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Military Residential District was not only beautiful, it completely outclassed those so-called luxury residential compounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of strange floral fragrance drifted through the air, refreshing the mind and making one linger in bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living in a place like this was a kind of enjoyment in itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center was a vast open square, while training grounds, shopping centers, gardens, and entertainment venues surrounded it on all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it did not feel noisy or crowded at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some adults were accompanying their children as they ran wild across the square, while others were out walking and playing with their pets in the park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not a single high-rise in the entire district. The tallest buildings were only three or four stories high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the whole Military Residential District housed only a few hundred people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Hong led them to a small building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wolf Guard Li, I have prepared four residences for you this time. Their floors, views, and layouts are all different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she secretly shot a look at her niece, Zhong Yanyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was signaling for her to hurry up and open the door. How could the girl be so lacking in tact?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Yanyan pretended not to see it and began picking at her fingers instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She deliberately turned her gaze off to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no other choice, Zhong Hong stepped forward herself with practiced ease, pulled open the door, and welcomed Li Mu and the others inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a duplex spanning the first and second floors, with a total area of two hundred and forty square meters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It has six bedrooms and four bathrooms, with two living rooms, one on each floor. The upper floor is a bit more compact and feels warmer and cozier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The lower floor is more spacious, making it better suited for receiving guests and moving around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may use the courtyard in front of the house however you like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhong Hong explained everything, Li Mu’s family walked through the house once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Suying and the others could not have been more satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a mansion among mansions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior decoration was elegant and classically refined, and they could move in immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to believe that they did not need to spend a single cent on a place like this. As long as one held a military post in the Abyss-Suppressing Army, it was simply given for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were delighted inside, but did not dare ask too many questions aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu asked, “Who lives upstairs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Above you lives a Deputy Instructor from the Pearl Military District, with the rank of Mid Wolf Guard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Zhong Hong could not help sighing inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Housing assignments were not based on military rank, but on military appointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Mu was only a Junior Wolf Guard, his military appointment was no worse than that of a Deputy Instructor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly was a rare young talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her own daughter had not still been too young, only thirteen or fourteen, she never would have introduced him to her niece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had been her own son-in-law, she would have been ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, what do you all think?” Li Mu looked at his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s quite good.” Yang Suying gave a somewhat restrained smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yourong’s family nodded repeatedly as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Hong smiled and said, “If none of you are in a hurry, there’s no need to decide right away. We can look at the other houses too and compare them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll trouble you,” Li Mu said. He thought that made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, Zhong Yanyan let out a long, impatient breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought that since Li Mu’s family had already said they were satisfied, today’s work could finally be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not expected her aunt to be the one to suggest looking at the others too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it would delay her from getting back to the lounge to play games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face immediately filled with impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Hong was so angry she wanted nothing more than to slap her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu naturally sensed her mood as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not take it to heart at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running into the Li family that morning had already been bad enough luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why ruin his mood over a stranger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, a person like this would never have the slightest connection with him in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone went on to look at the other three residences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because first impressions had already taken root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Suying, Yang Yourong, and the others all agreed that the first one was still the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu only wanted his mother to be happy. As for where he himself lived, he did not care in the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he estimated that it would not be long before his military appointment rose again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that time came, they would probably have to change to an even bigger house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the first residence, they looked it over carefully once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiaqi and Chen Jiafeng ran all over the place, already deciding where each of them would live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Hong was also very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll handle the paperwork as quickly as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you decide on the moving date, just contact me. I’ll arrange people and a vehicle to help move your things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there is anything else you need purchased, tell me in advance, and the property management office will prepare it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for access passes, I can only issue six according to the number of residents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you need additional ones or replacements, feel free to contact me at any time. It will only take a simple procedure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me add a contact method for you. It will make communication easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhong Hong took out her phone and looked at Li Mu expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu took out his phone and added Zhong Hong on his messaging app.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhong Hong said to Li Mu, “This is Zhong Yanyan. She is also an intern in the property management office. Let her add you too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anything comes up later, you can contact her directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Zhong Hong hurriedly gave Zhong Yanyan another look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Yanyan merely forced out a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a thoroughly businesslike tone, she said, “It’s fine. If you need anything, you can come directly to the property management office.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or you can just call the office. We are always ready to serve you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing that, Li Mu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not take it to heart at all and simply put his phone away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Hong, however, immediately went pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She truly had not expected that after all her effort in arranging for Zhong Yanyan to get to know such a young talent, Zhong Yanyan would behave so outrageously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even she, the property manager, had to greet him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are nothing but a worthless girl who failed the college entrance examination and only found yourself a job to drift through life. What right do you have to put on airs like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I spent all that time serving him attentively just now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with just those two sentences, you smashed my efforts to pieces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Hong silently cursed herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had she been so blind that she had failed to see her niece was this dense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she had truly ruined things for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could no longer be bothered with Zhong Yanyan and instead looked at Li Mu with deep apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wolf Guard Li, I am truly sorry! I’m sorry! My intern is terribly immature!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Zhong Hong bowed deeply to Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu could naturally tell that Zhong Hong and Zhong Yanyan were related in some way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Hong had not meant any harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he waved a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. Let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll contact you later. We’ll head back first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he started toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhong Yanyan saw that her aunt had actually bowed so dramatically to apologize to him, her brows immediately knit tightly together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, she thought, Is that really necessary? Are you sick or something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are the dignified property manager of the Military Residential District. Why are you acting so humbly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Hong quickly said, “I’ll see all of you out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, several people suddenly walked in from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front was Bai Tiewei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her were her secretary and two guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Zhong Hong saw Bai Tiewei, she froze in place for half a second from fright before hurriedly saying, “B-B-B Commissioner Bai, hello! I was just showing Wolf Guard Li the residences.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so flustered that her words came out in a jumble, and by the time she finished speaking, she was already standing at attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of people like her, members of the Abyss-Suppressing Army were naturally more formidable than local officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Abyss-Suppressing Army was down in the Abyss, far away from their daily lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By contrast, someone like Bai Tiewei, a figure who could make the whole city shake with a single step, exerted an even greater sense of pressure on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At certain times, she felt even more imposing than Bai Tiewei’s husband, the Deputy Commanding Officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tiewei smiled faintly. “You’ve worked hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned to Li Mu, and her smile immediately became much warmer and more natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt Bai!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu called out to her loudly on his own initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tiewei walked over with a smile, then said to Li Mu with mock annoyance, “And you’re not going to introduce me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu hurriedly began introducing everyone one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt Bai, this is my mother, Yang Suying. This is my aunt Yang Yourong and my uncle by marriage, Chen Jinshi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And these are my cousins, Chen Jiaqi and Chen Jiafeng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Mu was making the introductions, Bai Tiewei took the initiative to step forward and hold Yang Suying’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Li Mu introduced Bai Tiewei to his mother and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, Aunt, this is Bai Tiewei, the commissioner of the Eastern District Law Enforcement Bureau.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She is also the wife of our military district’s deputy commanding officer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Suying suddenly felt the hand she was holding with Bai Tiewei go stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Law Enforcement Bureau... its commissioner!?\u003C\u002Fp>",1877,"2026-05-30T10:59:06.731Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","604973192d5a4a819c7b3e617f6c5f8fa92349b20fee140fe4c385286ca778f9","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-72","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-70",99,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--cover.jpg"]
