This virus had no impact on the safety of the two individuals while driving.

However, it could control the engine's fuel supply and caused continuous outbreaks.

During the outbreak, the car would stall and could not be restarted.

If the virus was not eliminated, their speed could only reach up to thirty miles per hour.

Moreover, the car could stall at any time.

Only after the virus outbreak period had passed could the car be started again.

Whenever Yang Fei recalled the numerous obstacles during their journey, as well as their frustrated expressions, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

However, even though Yang Fei had delayed Fang Tang and Fan Song's journey, he also had to rush back to Yannan City.

When Yang Fei and Liang Jiayi said goodbye to Xue Mingtai, Xue Mingtai merely responded with a soft hum.

He said a couple of lukewarm polite phrases, then stopped talking.

His indifferent attitude actually reassured Yang Fei quite a bit.

On the other hand, Ye Zi found it hard to let go of Liang Jiayi, and she held on for a long time.

The two best friends chatted warmly and affectionately for a good while before Ye Zi reluctantly bid farewell to Liang Jiayi.

Sister Xue met a handsome man at last night's ball.

This young girl was thus whisked away by a man.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Fei and Liang Jiayi finally returned to Yannan City.

He first dropped Liang Jiayi off at her studio apartment.

Downstairs of the studio apartment, Liang Jiayi felt somewhat reluctant to part.

"Yang Fei, thank you for your help, I hope this time, I haven't caused you any trouble."

It was clear that this trip to Jingshui Villa turned quite real.

This young girl had developed some expectations and a vague affection for Yang Fei.

Yang Fei chuckled, waving his hand.

"Not at all, helping others is a joy, and helping a beautiful woman is even more delightful."

Liang Jiayi laughed, rolling her eyes at Yang Fei.

"Slick talker, utterly shameless."

In fact, Yang Fei's trip to Jingshui Villa was quite fruitful.

He not only won twenty million from Fan Song but also obtained the old city district redevelopment plan from Fang Tang.

Most importantly, Yang Fei had met Xue Mingtai.

And this person might know Yang Fei from before he was eighteen.

This was very important for Yang Fei to recover his memories before the age of eighteen.

After bidding farewell to Liang Jiayi, Yang Fei drove his Land Rover and finally returned to Lanting Hotel.

From a distance, he saw the red-brick building of Lanting Hotel.

Yang Fei's heart was filled with a warm sense of familiarity.

For some reason, accustomed as he was to the elegant and picturesque architectural style of Jingshui Villa, which resembled an immortal realm,

he now felt a sense of solidity and warmth upon returning to Lanting Hotel.

Perhaps this is what the old saying means.

A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one's own straw nest.

In Yang Fei's heart, the modest Lanting Hotel was his home.

And Sister Xueyi was his kin, irreplaceable by anyone else.

Yang Fei had just parked his car in front of Lanting Hotel,

when Lin Xueyi came rushing out, both shocked and delighted.

"You stinker, you finally decided to come back."

Lin Xueyi looked somewhat exhausted, her makeup disheveled.

However, her bright eyes shone with an indescribable dazzling light.

Her wine-red hair was not tied up but hung loosely around her.

Her beautiful, oval face had thinned, making her chin much sharper and her eyes even larger.

Yang Fei got out of the car and cheerfully greeted Lin Xueyi with a gesture.

"Good afternoon, Sister Xueyi. Youthful and beautiful as always, may your life match the heavens."

"Alright, enough with the flattery. I have something important to discuss with you."

Lin Xueyi hadn't seen Yang Fei for a few days, and now seeing his carefree demeanor warmed her heart.

It was then that Yang Fei noticed the stack of contract documents Lin Xueyi was holding in her arms.

In her eyes, there was a clear sign of fatigue.

Yang Fei promptly took the contracts from Lin Xueyi and, holding her hand, they entered the Lanting Hotel together.

"Why push yourself so hard? Just sign the contract, and leave the rest to me."

Yang Fei felt deeply sympathetic.

Lin Xueyi snorted, "Can it be done without hard work?"

"You've only given me one day and one night."

Yang Fei nodded, snapped his fingers, and grinned, "No need to rush now, we've just gained another day and night."

"According to my estimate, those two who are trying to enclose the land, their car should have broken down. It would be impressive if they make it to Yannan tonight."

What Lin Xueyi was most worried about was Fan Song's two billion investment in the market.

Hearing Yang Fei say this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Xueyi asked, "How do you know their car would break down?"

Yang Fei simply smiled, without speaking.

Lin Xueyi was a kind-hearted woman.

If she knew about his underhanded tactics, she might feel uneasy.

It was best she didn't know about this.

"By the way, have our plans been completed?"

Yang Fei changed the subject and inquired about what he cared about the most.

At the mention of this, Lin Xueyi's expression became noticeably anxious.

She directed Yang Fei's attention to the pile of documents and contracts on the counter.

"Overall, our plan is going smoothly."

"But the biggest issue now is that the old supply and sales cooperative building behind our hotel won't sell to us."

"What, the supply and sales cooperative won't sell?"

Yang Fei was immediately shocked.

The acquisition of the old supply and sales cooperative building was crucial for the reconstruction of the Lanting Building, a vitally important link.

If this step failed, all his efforts would be in vain.

Lin Xueyi also seemed somewhat helpless.

"I followed President Su's advice and took the route through high-level leaders of the District Government Office."

"This morning, the District Government Office agreed to our acquisition request and issued documents to the State Property Office. I and the leaders of the Government Office had even signed the contract."

Yang Fei couldn't help but compliment, "You guys were quite fast."

Lin Xueyi shook her head, "This is not my credit. President Su must have used some connections. Those high officials at the District Government Office are very polite to her."

She continued, "Everything was going smoothly, but when President Su and I took over the old building of the supply and sales cooperative, an old man kicked us out."

Yang Fei gasped, "Kicked out by an old man? Who is this old man?"

Lin Xueyi shook her head and said, "According to the leaders handling the handover procedures, this old man has worked at the supply and sales cooperative his whole life and is considered a veteran there."

"After the cooperative was disbanded, he simply retired and has been living in the old building ever since."

Yang Fei understood and frowned.

"I see, this old man is a holdout."

Lin Xueyi nodded, "The old man is already over seventy years old, but he's still very spirited, even fierce. He almost got into a fight with Mad Blade."

"What, the old man could fight Mad Blade?"

This truly startled Yang Fei.

Mad Blade had already cultivated the Dark Force and integrated military boxing into his own Fist Technique. Once unleashed, he was unmatched in power.

How could an ordinary old man withstand his aura?

This holdout was not simple at all.
