"Mr. Xiao, please come this way."

After dealing with the security guard, Liu Yuan turned around, his face a picture of kindness and respect as he bowed.

Xiao Yi didn't want to make it too difficult for Liu Yuan. Glancing at the security guard lying on the ground, he knew that the man would likely never forget today's lesson. He said nothing more and turned to sit in the passenger seat of Liu Yuan's car.

Seeing that Xiao Yi had gotten into the car, Liu Yuan finally felt a weight lift off his heart.

After closing the car door for Xiao Yi, he glanced at the security guard lying on the ground, scoffed coldly, and then sat in the driver's seat. Starting the car, he sped away, feeling no sympathy for the security guard who had nearly cost him his life. He thought it merciful that he hadn't chopped him into pieces on the spot.

As Liu Yuan's car slowly started, the BMW behind it finally began to move as well, but it did not hurry to follow the Mercedes. Instead, it allowed the Mercedes to move ahead slowly and then leisurely drove in. Inside the car, a woman in a professional suit and light makeup was watching the Mercedes in front of her. A playful look appeared in her beautiful eyes as she murmured to herself, "Interesting, very interesting. A young fellow dressed in bargain-bin clothes, yet he makes this Old Fox Liu Yuan bow so low? Who exactly is this young man?"

"Mr. Xiao, this is the place."

Liu Yuan slowly drove the car into the last row of villas in the residential area, parked in front of a large villa, opened the gate, then drove in and parked the car before opening the door for Xiao Yi and pointing to the villa, beginning his introduction.

Xiao Yi looked up at the villa and nodded his head, saying nothing.

"Mr. Xiao, this is the bedroom, this is the living room, this is the gym, this is the study, the quiet room..."

Seeing that Xiao Yi remained silent, Liu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, opened the villa's main door, and led him inside; he introduced every part of the villa in turn.

Following closely behind Liu Yuan and listening to his introduction while surveying the villa, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He had originally intended to find an ordinary house to stay in, yet Chen Jianguo had arranged such a luxurious villa for him, akin to a Presidential Suite.

"This villa was specifically reserved by Mr. Chen for his own use, but later, due to work reasons, Mr. Chen was never able to move in, so it has been unoccupied. Since it's unoccupied, Mr. Xiao can feel free to settle down here."

Although Liu Yuan continued to introduce the villa, he never took his eyes off Xiao Yi. Seeing a change in his expression, he quickly explained.

"Such a grand villa seems a waste for just one person to live in, and it's not easy to clean either."

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly.

"As for cleaning, Mr. Xiao, please rest assured, a maid comes here to clean every day; you won't be bothered by it. As for living alone, once Mr. Xiao makes friends, you can invite them to stay over," Liu Yuan replied, thinking Xiao Yi felt it was lonely living alone in such a large villa, which seemed normal because anyone would find it eerie to live alone in such a big place. He smiled warmly, not considering for a moment that Xiao Yi might bring a man to live with him.

"Oh."

By the time Liu Yuan had said this much, Xiao Yi didn't really have anything else to say. He just shook his head inwardly and accepted it. As for being alone, he felt it was a bit wasteful, but of course, he wasn't afraid of loneliness like Liu Yuan thought. For him, there really wasn't such a thing as loneliness, or rather, he was already used to it.

The only time he felt lonely was when he thought of the old man.

"Mr. Xiao, that's pretty much the situation. Is there anything else you need to know, or do you need any help from me? Mr. Chen has been tied up since this morning and couldn't find the time to come over himself, so he sent me to convey his regards. If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate; just ask me to do it."

Seeing that Xiao Yi had no more to say, Liu Yuan quickly added.

"All right, thank you. I don't need anything else at the moment, you can go back now. Tell Chen Jianguo that I'm very satisfied."

Xiao Yi nodded and politely said.

So far, his impression of this Liu Yuan was quite favorable, finding him to be a sharp and capable person.

"Mr. Xiao, please don't mention it. It is my honor to serve you. Here is my business card; it has my personal mobile number on it, which is on 24 hours a day. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."

As he spoke, Liu Yuan pulled out a business card and handed it to Xiao Yi with both hands.

From this morning's events, and from the expressions Chen Jianguo unconsciously showed when mentioning Xiao Yi, as well as the ease with which Xiao Yi directly addressed Chen Jianguo, Liu Yuan had vaguely felt that Xiao Yi was no ordinary person. Whatever task he might assign him, Chen surely would be happy rather than upset with him.

Thus, he now truly placed Xiao Yi on the same level as his master, Chen Jianguo.

"Okay."

Xiao Yi nodded, reached out to take the business card. Although he currently didn't think he had anything that needed Liu Yuan's assistance, many things were unpredictable. Perhaps in the future, there might be matters he couldn't handle alone and would need his help.

"By the way, Mr. Xiao, this is the key to a car in the garage; Mr. Chen asked me to give it to you."

Seeing Xiao Yi put away the business card, Liu Yuan's face lit up. As he turned to leave, he remembered another matter. He quickly reached into his jacket pocket, pulled out a set of keys, and handed them to him.

"I... okay."

When Xiao Yi heard Liu Yuan mention the car keys, he originally wanted to say he didn't need them, but as the words came to his lips, he still took the keys and nodded. In a big city like G City, relying entirely on public transport and taxis was indeed impractical. Having a car just in case was a good idea.

"Then I won't disturb your rest anymore, Mr. Xiao. If you need anything, give me a call. I also live nearby."

Having completed all the tasks assigned by Chen Jianguo, Liu Yuan didn't linger any longer. After reminding Xiao Yi again, he drove off slowly in the Mercedes; Chen was waiting for him to report back.

As Xiao Yi watched Liu Yuan drive away, he closed the door, returned to the villa, went up to the bedroom on the second floor, soaked in the comfortable bathtub filled with warm water, and then began his daily routine no matter how busy he was—the cultivation of Carefree Jue.
