Xu Fan took the phone, and Lu Chennong’s voice came through: “Hey, little brother Xu, did my guys get there in time? I hope you weren’t mistreated.”

“Director Lu arrived just in time, we didn’t suffer any mistreatment, thanks a lot for the help, big brother Lu,” Xu Fan said sincerely to Lu Chennong.

“Hey, think nothing of it, we’re all family here. If you ever need us, just say the word,” Lu Chennong said heartily on the phone.

“Okay, definitely,” Xu Fan promised, though given his nature, he wasn’t one to ask for help if it wasn’t a serious trouble.

“Little brother Xu, I have a small favor to ask. If it’s convenient for you, could you come over to my place for a visit? Xiao Bing is here too; it would be great to get together. My wife says she really misses Tongtong, the little cutie.”

After a moment of thought, Xu Fan concluded that since he had nothing else on today, it wouldn’t be inappropriate to visit Lu Chennong’s house, especially since he owed him thanks for bringing Lu Chenbing over, which enabled them to capture Liu Hai so smoothly. This visit would be the perfect opportunity to personally express his gratitude.

So, Xu Fan nodded and answered: “No problem. But Director Lu, I’m not sure if you have the time.”

“Give the phone to him, let me talk to him,” Lu Chennong’s domineering voice came from the phone.

Xu Fan handed the phone back to Lu Chenbing, and as soon as Lu Chenbing took the phone, he heard Lu Chennong’s voice: “Xiao Bing, bring little brother Xu along and come over to my place for a while.”

“Big brother, I’m still preparing Liu Hai’s case right now,” Lu Chenbing hesitated a bit.

“Xiao Bing, is your big brother’s word no longer effective?” Lu Chennong’s voice carried a hint of authority.

When Lu Chenbing heard his elder brother’s words, he immediately softened, and holding the phone he said, “All right, all right, I’ll bring brother Xu over now.”

Even though Lu Chennong was a businessman, in Lu Chenbing’s heart, he would always be his most respected elder brother.

Lu Chenbing remembered how, when he was naughty as a child and got into trouble, it was always Lu Chennong who took the blame for him. Without Lu Chennong’s constant care and support, there was no way he could have achieved such a position in the complex and intertwined world of officialdom, being just a hot-headed soldier back in the day.

So even though Lu Chennong might seem weak, Lu Chenbing was utterly obedient to him.

“Little brother Xu, let’s go together to my brother’s place. I guess he won’t be at ease until he sees you in person,” Lu Chennong said with a chuckle.

“Sure, let’s go visit big brother Lu’s house. I’ve never been to visit his home before,” Xu Fan said light-heartedly.

“Xiao Shan, drive,” Lu Chenbing ordered, and the guard Xiao Shan came over, gave a slight bow to Xu Fan and Lu Chenbing, then stood up and went to get the car.

“Little brother Xu, my guard here is from the special forces, and he doesn’t show respect to just anyone. I’m surprised that he’s so respectful towards you,” Lu Chenbing mentioned softly to Xu Fan after seeing Xiao Shan’s respectful demeanor towards him.

“Of course, daddy is the best,” Tongtong said, shaking her head proudly while speaking to Lu Chenbing.

“Haha, Tongtong is right, little brother Xu, you really are great,” Lu Chenbing praised Xu Fan gently.

Xu Fan shook his head and smiled modestly.

Before long, the security officer Li Shan drove over in Lu Chenbing’s black Audi.

Xu Fan and Lu Chenbing both got into the car and headed straight to Lu Chennong’s villa in the Oriental Famous City at the city center.

Twenty minutes later, the car reached the Oriental Famous City, and Xu Fan got out with Tongtong in his arms, admiring Lu Chennong’s luxurious villa, known as the “Number One Residence of Zhonghai.”

As soon as he got out of the car, Xu Fan faintly sensed the extraordinariness of the villa’s surroundings.

The villa was situated at the highest point in the center of Zhonghai City, and not far ahead was the rolling waves of Pujiang, embracing mountains and water, a truly prime spot for good Feng Shui.

The trees planted around the villa were not randomly placed, but rather positioned according to the positions of the Seven Stars and Seven Arrows, subtly protecting the villa. Surrounding villas all became adjuncts to the central one, and judging by the terrain, it was clear that they were arranged into the Water-Drawing Array of Imperial Dragon, designed to draw the spiritual energy of water from the entire Pujiang river into this villa. The dragon’s mouth of the Water-Drawing Array of Imperial Dragon was hidden within Lu Chennong’s property.

“There must be a spring of spiritual water inside this villa,” Xu Fan declared confidently after looking around.

“Xu little brother, how did you know that?” Lu Chenbing was very surprised when he heard Xu Fan’s declaration. He was aware of the spring inside Lu Chennong’s villa, which had certain health benefits. Lu Chennong had bought the villa for that very spring, and it was a surprise that Xu Fan could determine its presence just by glancing at the surrounding terrain immediately after getting out of the car.

For the people of Zhonghai City, this villa was a mysterious existence, and its spring was a secret known to very few.

“I deduced it by looking at the terrain. This villa has an excellent location, and if Elder Brother Lu lives here, his health will surely improve as he ages,” Xu Fan said softly.

In his previous life, he had been the Five Directions Great Emperor, and he was well versed in arrays; this Water-Drawing Array of Imperial Dragon might be basic, but it couldn’t escape his eyes.

“Xu little brother, you do have an incredible eye. This villa was designed by the top Feng Shui master of Yan Country, with the express purpose of improving the health of its residents. My elder brother invested heavily in this property because of his hidden illness, hoping that the spring inside could cure his ailment,” Lu Chenbing said.

“The Shiguyin cold poison in Elder Brother Lu’s body is inherently a water-attributed toxin; how could it possibly be cured by the spiritual energy of water?” Xu Fan couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“If only my elder brother had met you sooner!” Lu Chenbing gave a look that expressed both awe and admiration, as he stretched out his hand and led Xu Fan into the villa.

As they opened the door, they were greeted by Lu Chennong and Zhang Lijuan, dressed in casual attire.

“Elder Lin, please come in,” Lu Chennong said as he extended his hand and gently patted Xu Fan’s shoulder, his demeanor as if they had known each other for years, without a hint of awkwardness.

“Tongtong sweetie, we meet again.” Upon seeing the doll-like Tongtong, Zhang Lijuan was instantly overflowing with maternal affection. She bent down and made a hugging gesture to Tongtong.

“Auntie, hello, we meet again! Auntie is getting prettier,” Tongtong bounced over to Zhang Lijuan and then hugged her, whispering into her ear.

“Oh my, Tongtong is such a sweet talker.” Zhang Lijuan extended her hand, and miraculously, a Peppa Pig toy appeared in her palm. She shook it at Tongtong and said, “This is a gift from auntie to you.”

“Thank you, auntie.” Tongtong reached out her chubby little hands, took the Peppa Pig toy into her arms, and started jumping around joyfully.
