Zhonghai City, Oriental Famous City.

Oriental Famous City is a top-tier residential community in Donghai City, located by the riverbank. Within the community, there are only a dozen villas, and none of these villas have ever been sold publicly. As to who the owners are, hardly anyone knows.

At the very center of Oriental Famous City stands the largest villa with European architectural style, a four-story mansion. This mansion is known among Zhonghai’s wealthy circles by a nickname, “The Number One Residence of Zhonghai.”

Everything from the room decoration to the design, down to the carpets and the style of the curtains, was the work of the most top-notch designers from Yan Country. The design plans alone cost nearly ten million.

Inside the house, there’s a natural geothermal spring, which consistently maintains a temperature of over 50 degrees Celsius. Rich in various minerals, the spring is rumored to have miraculous healing properties for illnesses.

Lu Chennong, at that time, had bought the villa for three hundred million, solely because of this natural hot spring.

Lu Chennong led a simple life and did not fancy living in a mansion, but he was interested in the spring that was said to have curative effects. He had suffered from infertility for decades, seeking medical advice far and wide, trying almost everything yet even after soaking in the spring daily, his condition did not improve even slightly.

Just when he had lost all hope, Xu Fan, with his miraculous alchemy, extracted the Shiguyin poison from Lu Chennong’s body. Now, not only was he free of the persistently cold pain in his lower abdomen, but after taking Xu Fan’s Jinling Detoxification Pill, he seemed to rejuvenate by ten years. Every day he was bursting with energy, feeling inexhaustibly strong, practically like a strapping young man in his thirties.

Last night, Lu Chennong and Zhang Lijuan had handed all their affairs over to their assistants, planning to rest well in this villa for some time, then peacefully strive for the next generation.

Today, Lu Chennong had just finished his morning exercise and returned to the villa. He hadn’t started his day’s “work” when he received a call from Xu Fan.

“Brother Lu, I’m at the Songning District Police Station, they’re arresting people indiscriminately.”

Xu Fan spoke just a brief sentence and then hung up. Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Lu Chennong’s expression turned extremely serious in an instant.

Right now, Xu Fan was Lu Chennong’s true benefactor; he cured an illness that had troubled him for over a decade without asking for anything in return. Now that he was in trouble, Lu Chennong decided without a second thought to use all his resources to help Xu Fan.

Zhang Lijuan noticed Lu Chennong’s countenance change after the phone call and asked her husband with consideration, “Chennong, what’s happened?”

“Xiao Xu is in trouble. He called to say that he’s been taken by the Songning District Police Station. I know the chief of the station, Liu Hai—he’s cruel and ruthless, definitely not good news.”

“Isn’t Xiao Xu in great danger then?” Zhang Lijuan also frowned slightly, asking with some concern.

“With Xiao Xu’s capabilities, the danger shouldn’t be too great, but it’ll be extremely troublesome. Liu Hai is despicable; if he frames Xiao Xu with some charges, it would be difficult to sort out,” Lu Chennong pondered for a moment and cautiously said.

“Then Chennong, let’s hurry to the Songning Police Station and negotiate with them. No matter the bail, we need to get Xiao Xu out first,” Zhang Lijuan grasped Lu Chennong’s hand with a worried expression.

“Don’t panic. I’ll first find out what’s going on, and moreover, we have a trump card. Xiao Xu will be okay,” Lu Chennong gently held his wife’s hand, speaking calmly.

“That’s right, your cousin isn’t he…!” A glint of hope flashed in Zhang Lijuan’s eyes.

“Don’t worry… I’ll make a call,” Lu Chennong took out his phone and called a friend living in Star of Zhonghai.

“Hey, Brother Lu, I was just thinking about when I should invite you for a drink. I didn’t expect your call to come first.”

“Drinking’s fine, but first you have to confirm something for me. In your Star of Zhonghai residential community, was a young man just taken away by the Songning District Police Station?” Lu Chennong said urgently.

As Zhonghai’s wealthiest man, Lu Chennong usually carried himself with composure, neither arrogant nor impetuous. Many people had never seen him this anxious. Consequently, the major boss on the other end of the phone adopted a serious expression and responded to Lu Chennong, “Yes! Just now in the community, a little girl almost got bitten by a Tibetan Mastiff owned by Song Qiang from Jin Hui Group. However, the girl’s father kicked the dog to death. Then Song Qiang called over three bodyguards, but they were all sent to the hospital by that young man. Now, this young man has been taken away by Liu Hai of the Songning District. I heard this guy is very skilled. The police had their guns drawn the entire time.”

“Jin Hui Group’s Song Qiang, indeed not a good bird! I got it, thank you, I’ll definitely treat you to a drink next time,” Lu Chennong said, before abruptly hanging up the phone.

Zhang Lijuan also frowned upon hearing Song Qiang from Jin Hui Group mentioned by Lu Chennong, “Jin Hui Group, isn’t that the gang? How did Xiao Xu get involved with them?”

“Tongtong, my little treasure, nearly got bitten by Song Qiang’s Tibetan Mastiff, so Xiao Xu kicked his dog to death, and that’s what caused the trouble,” Lu Chennong said.

“This Jin Hui Group is really a cancer of Zhonghai City. Tongtong is so adorable. If she had been bitten by that dog, I would have been heartbroken,” Zhang Lijuan patted her chest, a look of tender concern on her face.

“Now I’m going to call my cousin, that Liu Hai from the Songning District. I suspect he’s in cahoots with Song Qiang. There must be something fishy,” Lu Chennong said, dialing a number stored on his phone for his cousin.

Lu Chenbing.

Lu Chenbing, Lu Chennong’s cousin, had a very close relationship with him since childhood. However, as they grew up, one chose to do business while the other joined the military.

Within five years in the army, Lu Chenbing became an ace in the special forces. After serving another five years, he transferred to the civilian sector, becoming a criminal detective in Dragon City of Yan Country.

Thanks to his exceptional skills and overall qualifications, Lu Chenbing worked his way up from detective to squad leader, then to Deputy Chief of the Dragon City Police Department. Three months ago, he was transferred to Zhonghai City and even promoted to the rank of Chief of the Zhonghai City Police Department.

As Lu Chennong watched the call to Lu Chenbing finally connect, a hearty voice came through the phone, “Bro, what’s up? I heard you were urgently looking for expensive medicinal materials a few days ago. Have you found a cure for your illness?”

“I won’t hide it from you; a friend of mine has cured me,” Lu Chennong said.

“What? That’s incredible! I’ll have to thank him personally one day,” Lu Chenbing laughed heartily.

“But Xiao Bing, this friend who cured me is in trouble now. He’s been taken by Song Qiang from Jin Hui Group and Liu Hai from the Songning District Police Station into custody. I’m afraid he might be in danger, so I need you to take a trip there,” Lu Chennong said earnestly.

“Not this Liu Hai again. I had just arrived in Zhonghai when I discovered this rotten element in the police force. We set up a dedicated investigation team to look into him, and I never expected him to pop up so soon!” Lu Chenbing exclaimed angrily.

“My benefactor is called Xu Fan, in his twenties, with a four or five-year-old little girl. You must ensure they are protected!” Lu Chennong instructed earnestly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll personally drop by the Songning District. A mere station chief dares to defy the heavens?” Lu Chenbing’s authoritative voice boomed from the phone.

“Hurry, I’m afraid any delay might lead to further complications!”

“Alright! I’m on my way!” Lu Chenbing hung up and said to the driver ahead, “Drive to the Songning District Police Station as fast as you can.”

The driver heard the order and immediately turned around, speeding toward the Songning District.

On the car ride, Lu Chenbing made another call and commanded in a forceful tone, “Liu Hai Investigation Team, all members take heed. We move out immediately, target the Songning District Police Station.”
