Protagonist:

Lu Feng

At nine o'clock on Saturday morning, Lu Feng carried a thermos out of Villa No. 8.

Inside the thermos were the pig trotters he had stewed the previous evening, a rich meat fragrance drifting slowly out through the gaps in the lid.

This thermos was something he bought from the System Mall last week; food kept inside could maintain its original texture even after a month.

Lu Feng quickly came to the door of neighboring No. 9 Courtyard, rang the doorbell, and the crisp chime echoed through the villa.

After a few seconds, the gate creaked open a crack, and a middle-aged woman in a housekeeping uniform poked her head out; she appeared to be Lin Xi's maid.

The maid sized up Lu Feng standing at the door, her gaze lingering on the thermos in his hand for a few seconds, then asked, "Hello, may I ask who you're looking for?"

Lin Yiming was a well-known real estate tycoon in Jiangcheng, and whenever guests came, he made appointments in advance.

Lu Feng had come uninvited this time, so the maid's eyes held a hint of wariness.

"Hello, I'm from next door, Villa No. 8. Is Mr. Lin in? I've brought him something."

Lu Feng spoke to the maid with a gentle smile on his face.

Just as his voice fell, footsteps sounded inside the villa, and Lin Yiming, wearing home clothes, came down the stairs.

Lin Yiming's hair was still somewhat tousled, and his face still carried a bit of sleepiness; he had clearly just gotten out of bed not long ago.

His gaze swept toward the door, and when he saw Lu Feng standing there, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly quickened his pace over.

"Brother Lu Feng, why did you come? Come in and sit for a while!"

Lin Yiming pulled open the gate, enthusiastically pulling Lu Feng into the villa, then turned to the maid beside him with some dissatisfaction and said, "This is my brother! Why won't you let him come in and sit? Hurry up and bring out my good tea leaves, and brew a cup of tea for my brother!"

The maid nodded in a flustered manner and turned to go brew tea.

Lu Feng waved his hand with a smile and pushed the thermos toward Lin Yiming: "No need to trouble yourself; I still have to visit a friend's place later. These are the pig trotters I stewed for Xi Xi, still hot; you can eat them directly at noon."

Lin Yiming hurriedly took the thermos with both hands, smelling the tempting aroma, and looked at Lu Feng with a face full of emotion: "This... Brother Lu Feng, thank you so much!"

"It's nothing, just a small effort."

Lu Feng waved his hand with a smile, then glanced toward the house and asked, "Xi Xi went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday; how is the situation?"

Lin Yiming handed the thermos to the maid to take away, his face showing uncontainable joy: "The doctor said all indicators are improving; they all think it's incredible! Xi Xi's anorexia symptoms have also lessened a bit; after eating at your shop last night and coming back, she even ate an apple before going to sleep! It's really all thanks to you, Brother Lu Feng!"

Lu Feng nodded after hearing this and said with a smile, "Then that's good, and I'm relieved."

"Xi Xi, look who's here?"

Lin Yiming shouted toward the living room.

Lin Xi in the living room wore a pink little dress, nestled in the sofa intently hugging a tablet watching cartoons; hearing Lin Yiming's shout, she abruptly raised her head.

She saw Lu Feng standing at the door at a glance, her eyes instantly widened round, and a surprised and delighted expression appeared on her face.

"Big Brother!"

Lin Xi threw down the tablet in one go, jumped off the sofa, and ran happily toward Lu Feng barefoot.

"You child, seeing Big Brother you're so happy you don't even put on shoes, right?"

Lin Yiming shook his head with a smile, took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet by the door for Lin Xi to put on.

Lu Feng squatted down with a smile, Lin Xi threw herself onto him and hugged his neck without letting go; finally, after Lin Yiming persuaded her a few words, she reluctantly let go.

"Xi Xi, I brought you stewed pig trotters; you and Daddy eat them together at noon."

Lu Feng smiled and patted Lin Xi's little head.

After hearing this, Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and she nodded her head hard: "Thank you, Big Brother! Big Brother, you're the best!"

"Alright, Xi Xi, listen to Daddy at home; I'm leaving."

Lu Feng stood up and waved at Lin Xi, saying.

"Brother Lu Feng, where are you going later? I'll have the driver take you."

Lin Yiming beside him said enthusiastically after hearing this.

"No need, I'll drive there myself; I just picked up the car yesterday, just right to practice."

Lu Feng waved his hand with a smile, then bid farewell to Lin Xi's family.

Returning to the garage, he pulled open the car door and got in, pressed the start button, and the Maybach engine let out a low rumble.

The car slowly drove out of the garage; Lu Feng originally wanted to honk to have the guard open the gate, but unexpectedly the gate in front automatically opened slowly to the left and right.

Obviously, his Maybach's license plate number had already been entered into the villa's access control system.

The guard standing at the door saw Lu Feng in the driver's seat and immediately saluted respectfully.

Lu Feng nodded to the guard as a signal, then stepped on the accelerator, and the black Maybach slowly drove out of Yunding Huating, speeding away on the road.

…………

Half an hour later, Lu Feng's Maybach arrived at the entrance of Li Jiang Family Community.

Lu Feng sat in the driver's cabin, considering whether to call Li Jiang to come pick him up at the door.

Li Jiang's community access control was quite strict; outsiders had to register before entering.

Lu Feng felt registration was too troublesome, as he had to write his ID number; every time he had Li Jiang come downstairs to pick him up at the door.

The guard at the door heard the engine sound of a car at the community entrance, looked up, and when he clearly saw the Maybach emblem, his eyelids twitched violently.

Although Xingfu Community was also considered a high-end community, most of those living inside were bosses of small companies or white-collar workers in high-end office buildings.

Usually, the cars he saw most were just common ones like Toyota and Volkswagen, and occasionally he could see a few BMWs.

Luxury cars worth millions like the Maybach, he had never seen in this community before; people who could afford such a class of car probably wouldn't live in Xingfu Community.

Although he didn't know which owner was driving this black Maybach in front of him, he was definitely a big shot.

The security guard hesitated not at all, hurriedly pulled out the remote from his Pocket, immediately pressed it, and the community Gate slowly opened.

His body stood ramrod straight, his face lit with an enthusiastic smile, and he respectfully saluted facing the car window.

Lu Feng in the car was Stunned for a moment; he had not forgotten that last time he came, the security guard had looked at him like a suspicious person, but today he opened the door so readily.

It seems driving a luxury car out can even earn you privileges.

Lu Feng smiled and expressed his thanks to the security guard, then drove the car into the community.

The security guard watched the car disappear around the corner, then smacked his lips and muttered softly: "My goodness... when did such a nouveau riche move into the community? This car must be worth at least four million, right?"

Lu Feng parked the Maybach in the underground garage and found a spacious empty spot to stop.

If he were outside, he could easily find Li Jiang's building.

But now in the underground garage, looking at the maze-like surroundings, he couldn't help but be at a loss.

Lu Feng thought for a while and called Li Jiang: "Jiangzi, I've arrived."

"You're at the Door, right? Wait, I'll come pick you up right away."

Li Jiang's somewhat clamorous voice came from the other end of the Mobile Phone.

"I'm not at the Door; I'm in the underground garage right now."

Lu Feng leaned back in the seat and said with a smile.

"Garage? You bought a car? When did that happen? How come I've never heard you mention it?"

Li Jiang's voice rose by eight degrees, asking somewhat surprisedly.
