Su Changfeng wins the championship but immediately leaves without accepting the trophy, eager to travel to Jiang City to see Shen Hanxue. Despite Ji Hong's and Zhao Feng's concerns about his abrupt departure and the dangers he might face, Su Changfeng is resolute. He boards a plane, his anxiety stemming not from fear but from excited anticipation of reuniting with Shen Hanxue.

Jiang City held a special significance in Su Changfeng’s eyes, at least it contained many of his memories, and only when he was with Shen Hanxue did Su Changfeng feel the warmth of home.

When Su Changfeng returned to Jiang City, memories from his previous life seemed to be awakened at that moment. During this period, Jiang City didn’t appear to be developing very well.

However, Su Changfeng knew that this period was also when the people of Jiang City were gradually on the rise, and at this time, the Shen Family was already quite famous, as they were engaged in the building materials business, following the trend of the times.

Standing at the airport, Su Changfeng felt everything here was familiar; he finally arrived in Jiang City and could go looking for Shen Hanxue.

As Su Changfeng was feeling nostalgic, he triggered dissatisfaction from the people behind him.

“What are you daydreaming about here? Hurry up and move!”

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng turned around and saw a man looking displeased, but he was attracted to someone beside the man, feeling he had seen them somewhere before.

But at the moment, he couldn’t recall any useful information.

Su Changfeng didn’t comment on their rude behavior, simply stepping aside.

Soon, a very cool sports car drove up, drawing everyone’s attention, and the pair got inside.

Seeing this scene, Su Changfeng silently speculated that these two individuals seemed to have a remarkable status, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to drive such a cool sports car.

For a moment, gazing at someone who felt somewhat familiar, Su Changfeng pondered over who this person could be.

After thinking for a while, a figure flashed in Su Changfeng’s mind, arousing great surprise.

This person was not only someone Su Changfeng had seen, but someone he knew very well. However, due to the person’s older age then, Su Changfeng hadn’t immediately associated them with the person before him.

This person was Zhu Lie.

Su Changfeng looked at the very handsome man in front of him, unable to reconcile the image with the sloppy man in his memories.

In fact, in Su Changfeng’s mind, Zhu Lie never had such an exuberant spirit; on the contrary, he would often come to borrow a few cigarettes.

Thinking of Zhu Lie, Su Changfeng felt a bit helpless and nostalgic, surprised to see a familiar face upon his arrival.

Even more surprising was that the person was Zhu Lie, who now seemed to have quite an impressive status, considering even the car he casually drove was eye-catching.

From just this, one could see Zhu Lie’s unusual status.

But who would have thought, on some future day, Zhu Lie would abandon all he had for a woman? Such actions were beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.

Since he was an acquaintance, Su Changfeng didn’t mind their former rude behavior, though he felt the timing was off to reconnect with Zhu Lie.

He even felt that Zhu Lie might not spare him a glance now.

Thus, Su Changfeng hailed a car and headed towards Xianwu Mountain, where he previously lived, knowing he needed to buy the villa.

However, this time was different; the area was now inhabited by a very renowned person from Jiang City, making it no easy task to regain ownership of the villa.

The villa, in this era, appeared to have a much better environment, making it difficult for ordinary people to have the capacity to buy one here.

Standing there, Su Changfeng recalled various experiences from before, feeling deeply nostalgic.

But he didn’t have much time for reminiscing, as a security guard soon approached him with a furrowed brow.

This was Jiang City’s top villa area, home to influential figures, where even standing and watching wasn’t permissible for ordinary people, not to mention a young man like Su Changfeng.

Hence, naturally, he would be driven away, the security guard arriving and saying: “Kid, do you know what place this is? Leave immediately.”

With a helpless look at the man, Su Changfeng wondered why they had chased him away without knowing who he was.

It was likely related to the Gu Family, since they were in charge of everything here, and thus carried themselves with arrogance.

They cared not for the identity of those who came, giving no respect to anyone without Gu Family ties.

Su Changfeng said, “I want to buy a villa here, why can’t I take a look first?”

The security guard seemed to have heard a joke, bursting into laughter, knowing this was Jiang City’s top villa area, sold before even fully constructed.

Yet here was Su Changfeng, a teen, claiming he planned to buy a villa here, surely boasting.

Thus he replied, “Stop dreaming, go study more instead. Even if your family is wealthy, your parents should know about this prestigious area, not for ordinary people to purchase.”

“While those wealthy folks aren’t out yet, you better leave quickly, or you’ll be badly crushed, and it’d be unfortunate to fall apart over it.”

With furrowed brows, Su Changfeng said, “But how do you know I don’t have money? What if I could truly buy a villa here?”
