Seeing the driver's confusion, Xiao Yefeng immediately sensed something was off and quickly replied, "Master, what's wrong with the Golden House Courtyard?"
"Isn't it true that you live at the Golden House Courtyard?" the driver asked.
"Of course not, I'm just going to find someone!" However, Xiao Yefeng thought to himself that while he was currently looking for someone, once he found that person, he would indeed be living there.
"Looking for someone? That's fine then. With your energy, how could you possibly be trading with someone from the Golden House Courtyard?" After saying this, the driver opened up and started chatting. It's a common saying that drivers are chatty, and this was certainly true; drivers everywhere are like this.
During the next stretch of the journey, Xiao Yefeng learned why the driver was so surprised about his trip to the Golden House Courtyard.
It turned out that the Golden House Courtyard was a famous apartment complex in Hangzhou. It gained its notoriety because it was initially known as a residence for talented women. However, over time, these talented women gradually transformed into wealthy socialites, leading to a shift in the atmosphere of the place. In just a year, the Golden House Courtyard went from being one of the best apartments to becoming infamous as a gathering place for mistresses.
At the same time, the Golden House Apartment also became known as a place where rich women kept young men. This was why the driver scrutinized Xiao Yefeng when he mentioned going to the Golden House Apartment. After all, Xiao Yefeng looked quite young—though not particularly handsome—he exuded an energetic vibe. Especially after two years in prison, instead of appearing worn down, he had developed an inner charm through his studies in Feng Shui and Physiognomy.
As the saying goes, "A person with knowledge naturally exudes grace." Upon his release from prison, Xiao Yefeng could hardly believe that the young man with a hint of scholarly aura in the mirror was himself; it was such a stark contrast to who he had been when he entered.
While chatting with the driver, Xiao Yefeng learned a lot about Hangzhou. As they laughed along the way, he noticed that as they got closer to the Golden House Apartment, luxury cars became increasingly common. The driver, who claimed to have over thirty years of driving experience, had navigated smoothly until they reached Bihui Road. There, he reduced their speed to almost a crawl.
According to the driver, Bihui Road was a place to test one's courage; every car there was worth a fortune, and even a slight scrape could lead to financial ruin. The most critical point was that drivers of luxury cars in this area were notoriously reckless. After only traveling thirty or forty meters, the driver had to slam on the brakes three times due to being startled by four or five luxury vehicles.
Noticing the sweat on the driver's face, Xiao Yefeng said, "Master, let's not go any further; just stop here and I'll walk over!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, the driver seemed somewhat embarrassed but also visibly relieved despite his nervousness. He replied, "It's fine; it seems there are quite a few rich second-generation folks around here today!"
However, Xiao Yefeng could see the driver's nervousness. Life was tough for the impoverished, and driving on Bihui Road was indeed a challenge for this honest-looking driver. After some debate, Xiao Yefeng instructed the driver to pull over, and he got out of the car.
Watching the driver struggle to turn around amidst the luxury cars, Xiao Yefeng shook his head, feeling quite saddened. It wasn't just for the driver's anxiety; it was more for those wealthy second-generation individuals, the pampered elites, and the superficial women. The driver worked so hard to earn a living for his family, yet these people drove expensive cars and displayed such poor manners.
"Here, this is my business card. I owe you one today, brother. Next time you need a ride, I'll give you a free one!" With that, the driver handed Xiao Yefeng a business card printed with Leifeng Fleet.
The driver then slowly maneuvered out of Bihui Road once again. Even so, Xiao Yefeng still noticed luxury cars speeding out from every alley along Bihui Road as if they were oblivious to their surroundings.
Looking at the business card featuring Leifeng Fleet on one side, Xiao Yefeng flipped it over to see the name Bai Mingfu along with three contact numbers. He carefully tucked the card away, valuing it even more than Mei Yulou's special card. This was Xiao Yefeng; although Mei Yulou was not an ordinary person and perhaps even more capable than him, Xiao Yefeng held greater respect for ordinary people who earned their living through hard work, even if such individuals might never be able to help him.
As he looked at the two business cards in his backpack, Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but smile. Reflecting on his twenty years of life, this was the most business cards he had ever received. Of course, this was also because these two cards were the first and second he had obtained in twenty years—one simple yet elegant, and the other straightforward yet sincere.
Walking while observing the scenery along Bihui Road, Xiao Yefeng found that ever since he studied Feng Shui, his habit of observing his surroundings had become more meticulous. This was undoubtedly due to his previous lifestyle habits.
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but admire the Feng Shui arrangement of Bihui Road. It truly deserved its reputation as Hangzhou's most luxurious area, adjacent to a river that flowed vigorously and meandered gracefully. In Feng Shui theory, flowing water on the left represents the Azure Dragon; this particular Azure Dragon was indeed formidable. Good Feng Shui requires both wind and water to create a blessed land; with such a rushing water flow, there must be wind to assist it. On the right side lay a major road—though somewhat disruptive—it was mitigated by a massive Lotus Pond built ahead.
Bihui Road featured only two clusters of buildings and a large park: the elegant Jade Sea Villa where affluent individuals resided and the Golden House Courtyard where Xiao Yefeng intended to go. The park was home to Flower Mountain Park and also housed the expansive Lotus Pond.
Xiao Yefeng truly admired the designer of Bihui Road; rather than just respecting the designer himself, he admired the geomancer who planned and constructed this area. Two different landscapes could harmoniously coexist; Xiao Yefeng was captivated by this perfect layout.
The location of Golden House Courtyard was slightly lower than that of Jade Sea Villa; however, Golden House Courtyard possessed an advantageous Beautiful Grooming terrain while Jade Sea Villa featured an opposing General's Terrain. Although both terrains were standard for burial sites, they could also suit residential properties since terrain is fixed while people are alive. The establishment of residential styles could alter how these terrains functioned.
The combination of beauty and strength was inherently harmonious, especially enhanced by the layout of Jade Belt Around the Waist. Those who lived here would surely benefit from disaster relief through Exorcism practices. Of course, this was merely a principle of Feng Shui; for ordinary people, living in such places would feel exceptionally comfortable. Comfort or discomfort is often the most direct manifestation of good or bad Feng Shui. Regardless of belief in Feng Shui, one's living environment should be pleasant; if a dwelling does not align with one's heart, it will inevitably affect one's mood and lead to issues in work or travel over time.
As Xiao Yefeng walked, he realized that the agreed meeting place already had a woman in a simple white dress sipping coffee. The sign next to her indicated that this was number seventy-eight, right next to the Azure Water Road Golden House Annex. It was clear that what he wanted was in the hands of this woman.
Approaching her, Xiao Yefeng sat down directly beside her and picked up the teacup placed in front of him. "Sister, may I know your phone number?" he asked.
The woman in the white dress had already noticed his slightly worn backpack and his impolite demeanor. Instead of being offended, she replied, "Shouldn't you provide your number before asking for someone else's?"
With that, Xiao Yefeng recited a long string of random numbers he had seen on his phone, spanning over twenty digits. As he finished with the last digit, the woman pulled out a brown paper bag from her purse and neatly placed it on the table. "This is what you wanted!" she said.
She shot Xiao Yefeng a disdainful glance, and as expected, he immediately grabbed the paper bag and pulled out the contents to examine them closely. Seeing his reaction, the woman in the dress wore an even more contemptuous expression.
At that moment, Vera, the woman in the white dress, couldn't help but think how strange it was for the captain to grant such an impolite request. This was information that only someone of Commander rank could access. Usually, those wealthy second-generation individuals would pester and use connections just to obtain a fraction of genuine information. It was outrageous enough to get thirty percent of real data; how could the captain have received a call and then sent her with two sets of ninety percent accurate information for someone with such peculiar taste?
