Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Lu Feng drove a brand-new Maybach down the road, the car moving very smoothly.

The Maybach was indeed incredibly comfortable to drive; even when passing over speed bumps, Lu Feng only felt a slight vibration.

This was far better than riding his Xiao Dian Lu; every time he encountered a speed bump, he had to be extremely careful, or his buttocks would go numb from the shaking.

The red light at the intersection turned on, Lu Feng lightly pressed the brake, and the car stopped steadily at the intersection.

The car's air conditioning slowly blew cool air, and the temperature inside the car contrasted sharply with the heat outside, as if they were two different worlds.

Lu Feng glanced out the car window; under the bus stop sign by the roadside, it was packed with people waiting for the bus.

At this moment, many of their gazes were attracted by the Maybach Lu Feng was driving, and they looked over here with expressions of surprise and envy.

Among the crowd were several spirited young men with brightly colored hair, holding up mobile phones to take photos of him.

Lu Feng leisurely stretched in the driver's seat, and suddenly seemed to understand why so many people liked driving luxury cars.

A car was not only for transportation, but also a symbol of status.

The feeling of being watched by a group of people on the road indeed made one feel quite exhilarated inside.

The green light turned on, Lu Feng lightly pressed the accelerator, and the car drove out of the intersection smoothly.

A taxi had originally been driving alongside him, the driver turning his head to chat with the passenger in the back seat, and casually glanced out the car window.

When he saw Lu Feng's Maybach, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

The driver no longer bothered chatting with the customer, eased off the accelerator under his foot, and the taxi's speed immediately dropped.

Looking at the emblem on the Maybach's rear, the taxi driver simply released the accelerator and obediently followed behind, keeping a full two-car distance in between.

A delivery rider on an electric scooter shot out from the non-motorized vehicle lane like a gust of wind and lightning, presumably in a hurry, approaching the gap between the two cars, intending to drive straight through.

When his gaze swept over the Maybach's rear, the rider's body stiffened, and he immediately released the accelerator turned all the way down.

The electric scooter slowed down, and the delivery rider obediently rode his vehicle back into the non-motorized vehicle lane.

Only after Lu Feng's car had driven far away did he let out a long sigh of relief, muttering under his breath: "My goodness... a Maybach! If I accidentally scrape off some paint, I wouldn't be able to compensate even if I delivered takeout for half a year..."

He was the order-grabbing king of their station; when delivering takeout, what he was best at was squeezing through gaps.

Usually, he would overtake ordinary cars on the road without a second thought, but facing that Maybach, he had to be extremely careful.

Twenty minutes later, the gate of Yunding Huating appeared before his eyes.

The Maybach drove to the gate entrance, Lu Feng stepped on the brake, and slowly stopped the car in front of the barrier gate.

As the car slowly approached, the security guard standing at the gate noticed it.

The security guard initially didn't pay attention; having stood guard here for years, among the owners inside, who wasn't driving a luxury car except for the one riding an electric scooter?

Therefore, when he saw the Maybach, he didn't show too much expression on his face.

Lu Feng parked the car at the gate entrance, then pressed the horn once.

The security guard looked over here and found that the barrier gate had not opened automatically, indicating this car was not an internal vehicle of Yunding Huating.

He supposed it was probably a friend visiting an owner.

He picked up the registration form and walked toward the car.

"Hello."

The security guard stood by the driver's seat, reached out and knocked on the car window: "Non-owner vehicles please register first..."

He hadn't finished speaking when the car window slowly lowered, and he saw Lu Feng smiling and greeting him, causing him to be stunned for a moment.

"It's me, please open the gate."

Lu Feng's voice was still the same as usual, not different just because he was driving a luxury car.

"Mr. Lu, it's you!"

The security guard suddenly came back to his senses, his gaze quickly sweeping over this brand-new Maybach, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face: "You... changed cars?"

The security guard clearly recognized the appearance of every owner of Yunding Huating, but he had always seen Lu Feng coming and going on an electric scooter, so today suddenly driving back a luxury car was indeed somewhat surprising to him.

Lu Feng smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll open the gate for you right away!"

The security guard hurriedly pressed the remote in his hand, and the electric gate slowly opened to both sides.

Lu Feng thanked the security guard, then slowly drove the car into the villa district.

The security guard stood in place, watching the black Maybach gradually move away, scratched the back of his head, and couldn't help but mutter softly.

"I told you... how could an owner living in Yunding Huating always ride a Xiao Dian Lu? Driving a Maybach, now this is more like it..."

He had already noted down Lu Feng's license plate number just now, and hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to notify someone, asking his colleague to enter Lu Feng's Maybach into the villa's access control system.

The black Maybach steadily parked in the garage of No. 8 Courtyard; after turning off the engine, Lu Feng did not rush to get out of the car.

Today was his first time driving on the road, and the excitement in his heart had not yet faded.

After loitering in the car for a while, he pushed open the car door, got out, and walked into the villa.

As soon as he returned to the villa, Lu Feng went straight into the bathroom; the first thing he did every day when he came back was to take a hot bath first.

He had just turned on the bathtub faucet to let out water when the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

He thought it was a call from the S Store notifying him to pick up his Xiao Dian Lu, but unexpectedly, when he took out his phone to look, it displayed Li Jiang's name.

Since celebrating his father's birthday at Li Jiang's house last week, he hadn't seen Li Jiang come to the shop to eat this week.

Lu Feng remembered sending Li Jiang a message this Monday, telling him this week's business hours.

However, he didn't know what Li Jiang was busy with; he only replied that he received it, and then there was no more news.

Li Jiang usually craved Lu Feng's cooking, but this week he'd vanished like he'd disappeared, leaving Lu Feng a bit unaccustomed to it.

He'd originally planned to call over the weekend to ask, but unexpectedly Li Jiang came to him first this time.

He reached out to turn off the faucet, then answered the phone.

"Fengzi, missed me?"

Lu Feng had just pressed the answer key when Li Jiang's familiar loud voice came from the other end, and he couldn't help but move the mobile phone away from his ear.

"Miss my ass! Where'd you go this week, why didn't you come to the shop to eat?"

Lu Feng walked to the living room, flopped onto the sofa, and smilingly asked Li Jiang on the other end.

"Hehehe... I've had some serious business this week."

Li Jiang on the other end of the mobile phone chuckled twice, his laugh a bit lewd, giving Lu Feng goosebumps and making him stand up involuntarily.

He couldn't help but doubt—was that really the appearance of someone busy with serious business?

"Don't ask about that first, do you have time tomorrow?"

Li Jiang's voice paused, then he suddenly asked.

Hearing his mysterious voice, Lu Feng raised an eyebrow.

He knew Li Jiang too well; Li Jiang wasn't the type to call him for no reason just to chat on the phone.

Every time he took the initiative to call, nine times out of ten he had something to ask of him.

Lu Feng smiled and asked, "Go on, how do you need me to help you this time?"

"As expected of my Li Jiang's good brother, you understand me!"

Li Jiang's voice sounded a bit more serious, then he lowered his voice and said, "If you're free tomorrow morning, come to my place?"

"I can go, but what exactly are we doing?"

Lu Feng frowned and asked somewhat curiously.

"You'll know when you come tomorrow; anyway it's serious business, important to me, you definitely have to come!"

Li Jiang's voice sounded a bit nervous, but he still didn't tell Lu Feng exactly what the matter was.

Lu Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled; in his impression Li Jiang rarely spoke in this kind of tone.

But he didn't sound like he was joking; it seemed he really had run into something and needed him to come help.

Hearing the seriousness in Li Jiang's tone, Lu Feng stopped asking further: "Fine, what time tomorrow?"

"You're a good friend! Just come before ten! Thanks, brother! Let me hint a little—don't be too surprised when you come tomorrow."

Li Jiang's voice still left Lu Feng somewhat baffled, then he added: "It's hot, don't ride your Xiao Dian Lu; take a taxi or should I drive to pick you up tomorrow?"

"No need, I'll go myself tomorrow."

Lu Feng spun the Maybach car key in his hand, smiled, and said.

"Fine, see you tomorrow!"

After hanging up, Lu Feng shook his head, not knowing what medicine Li Jiang was selling in his gourd this time.

Still saying not to be too surprised tomorrow, acting all mysterious.

Tomorrow I'll drive my own car to Li Jiang's house; when Li Jiang sees my Maybach, I'm afraid he'll be the one surprised.

Whatever, I'll know when I go tomorrow.

Lu Feng shook his head, set other matters aside for now, stood up, and walked toward the bathroom.
