Famous Mansion Phase One is a high-end villa district created exclusively for the top elite of Huadu City. It backs onto the lush and picturesque Ye Xiu Mountain and faces the sea, making it an exceptional spot in terms of geography, scenery, and living environment.
Li Ruyan's family resides in the luxury villa district of Famous Mansion.
At night, the Famous Mansion villa district was brightly lit, with one grand villa after another, imposing and spectacular.
Li Ruyan didn't bring bodyguards; she only brought Lin Fei. She was driving a white BMW herself.
As the BMW approached the entrance of the villa district, Lin Fei saw the marble plaque on the gate with the words "Famous Mansion" and couldn't help but recall that Mr. Li's marriage certificate had the address marked as Famous Mansion.
After Li Ruyan's car passed through the gate guarded by security, Lin Fei asked Li Ruyan, "Sister Ruyan, are there several places named Famous Mansion in Huadu City?"
Li Ruyan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she said, "As far as I know, there's only one place called Famous Mansion in Huadu City. Why, is there a problem?"
Lin Fei quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I was just asking."
At this moment, Lin Fei was almost certain that this Famous Mansion villa district was where the old man, Li Yunde, resided.
Well then, after dining at Li Ruyan's house later, it would be convenient to inquire about which villa Li Yunde lives in and return the marriage certificate, saving a trip tomorrow.
Li Ruyan drove the BMW and soon arrived at a villa within the Famous Mansion villa district.
She honked the horn, and the guard within the iron gate recognized Li Ruyan's car and opened the gate promptly.
The BMW drove into the villa courtyard, and Lin Fei saw bodyguards visible everywhere around. A majestic four-story European-style villa sprawled across a broad area, clearly belonging to an aristocratic family.
However, having already seen Li Ruyan's private jet and luxury villa, Lin Fei wasn't particularly surprised.
Just after getting out of the car, Lin Fei saw an elder around fifty, with eyes bright and full of expression, exuding an invisible aura, coming forward to greet Li Ruyan, saying, "Miss, you're back; your grandpa and your parents have been waiting for you."
Lin Fei noticed that the usually strong and cold Li Ruyan addressed the elder with rare respect, "I know, Uncle Zhong."
This elder, referred to as Uncle Zhong by Li Ruyan, then turned his gaze to Lin Fei beside Li Ruyan. Though it was a simple look, Lin Fei could feel the sharpness as if it was trying to see through him entirely.
Lin Fei, of course, knew that Uncle Zhong wanted to ascertain whether he was a good or bad person to prevent any harm to Li Ruyan.
From the aura Uncle Zhong exuded, Lin Fei could tell that Uncle Zhong knew martial arts, and quite proficiently at that.
However, to try and dominate Lin Fei purely with aura and thus completely see through him—Uncle Zhong perhaps lacked the capability.
Uncle Zhong didn't expect Lin Fei, under his aura and insightful gaze, to remain utterly unpressured, calm and collected, as if fundamentally unaffected.
This left Uncle Zhong quite astonished. This young man, no more than twenty or so, appeared slender and weak; how could he show no pressure under such a powerful aura as if he didn't know martial arts?
"Miss, who is this friend?" Uncle Zhong couldn't help but ask Li Ruyan.
Li Ruyan promptly introduced Lin Fei to Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, this is Lin Fei."
Then Li Ruyan introduced Uncle Zhong to Lin Fei: "Lin Fei, this is our Li family's steward, Uncle Zhong."
Lin Fei nodded toward Uncle Zhong, "Hello, Uncle Zhong."
"Hello, Mr. Lin," Uncle Zhong said as he extended his hand to Lin Fei, "Welcome to the Li family as a guest."
Lin Fei likewise extended his hand, shaking hands with Uncle Zhong.
While they shook hands, Lin Fei noticed a glint of slyness flash in Uncle Zhong's eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Fei knew Uncle Zhong was planning something.
Indeed, at this moment, immense force emanated from Uncle Zhong's palm, and he began to compress Lin Fei's hand.
So, this is to test if I know martial arts?
Understanding Uncle Zhong's intent, Lin Fei's expression remained unchanged, keeping the same smile.
However, Uncle Zhong found something amiss. How did Lin Fei's hand suddenly seem as hard as iron, no, even harder than iron?
For, with all his inner strength, even iron could be completely bent.
Yet Lin Fei's hand was solid as rock, no matter how much force he applied, exerting his full strength, he couldn't cause any harm to Lin Fei's hand.
All along, he found Lin Fei's expression calm, as if he didn't feel Uncle Zhong's frightening inner strength at all, making his inner strength feel like a bull in the mud, unable to find any leverage.
"Uncle Zhong, we should go in now." At this point, Li Ruyan noticed the handshake longer than usual and reminded Uncle Zhong.
At the same time, Lin Fei's right thumb, which had been shaking hands with Uncle Zhong, unexpectedly pressed on the He Gu point between Uncle Zhong's thumb and index finger.
Uncle Zhong instantly felt unbearable pain in his palm as if shocked by electricity, and his arm numbed, nearly crying out in pain, and released Lin Fei's hand.
Uncle Zhong looked at Lin Fei with surprise and doubt, realizing from Lin Fei's thumb press on his He Gu point that Lin Fei's skill was extraordinary.
His strength had reached the level of a first-rate expert; not even ten samurai-level experts were a match. Normally, no ordinary person could precisely strike his hand's He Gu point.
Let alone strike his He Gu point, making it unbearably painful, leaving his arm numb, forcing him to release his hand.
At this moment, Uncle Zhong had realized that the seemingly gentle and frail Lin Fei in front of him was a martial arts master with unfathomable skills.
Would his heart dare to look down on Lin Fei?
Immediately, he forced a smile on his face and said to Lin Fei, "Please, Mr. Lin."
"Please, Uncle Zhong," Lin Fei replied lightly with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
Li Ruyan beside them had no idea that Lin Fei and Uncle Zhong had already secretly tested each other and simply thought these two got along well.
