Twenty minutes later, Du Linlang's car drove into the Jinyue Garden Villa District.

The Security Guard standing at the gate felt something was off as Gao Panpan got out to register. Why was there an odd smell on this beautiful lady?

Then, as the vehicle passed by, the saluting Security Guard was hit by an intense odor, and everything went black before his eyes, nearly causing him to stumble.

At that moment, a colleague arriving for the shift change noticed his troubled expression and curiously asked, "What's wrong? Got upset by the residents?"

The Security Guard waved it off, indicating that wasn't the case.

But his colleague, adopting a knowing tone, continued, "Don't take it to heart. This is the kind of work we do. Not all wealthy people are of high quality; you'll know with time, or perhaps you'll get used to it."

"No, just now a Maserati came through..." The Security Guard blurted out his recent experience.

After listening, the colleague furrowed their brow and said, "Are you saying there was a strong stench inside the car? Could there be... a corpse hidden inside?"

The two looked at each other in shock and quickly ran into the post to report this to their superiors.

...

Sitting in the passenger seat, Gao Panpan held a wet tissue to her nose and mouth, looking distressed. "I really can't stand it. This smell is like a public toilet. Can't you smell it?"

"Really?" Du Linlang held a bamboo skewer in one hand and put the last piece of stinky tofu into her mouth, eating as she spoke. "Haven't you heard? Stinky tofu smells foul, but it tastes delicious. You should really try it."

Gao Panpan looked utterly resistant, shaking her head to indicate she couldn't accept that taste.

After a few turns, they found the address provided by Du Qingyue. Du Linlang parked the car by the roadside, pulled out a tissue, wiped her mouth, and then blew a few breaths toward Gao Panpan, asking, "Does it smell?"

"..." Gao Panpan felt utterly despondent.

You eat stinky tofu; that's a personal preference. No one can fault you for that.

But the problem is, can you not speak to me after eating it?

After turning off the engine, Du Linlang reached out and pinched Gao Panpan's cheek, smiling, "Don't worry, don't look so glum. I'll wash up tonight, so you'll find me smelling nice and fragrant."

"I..." Gao Panpan's face looked even more uncomfortable. Why did that sound so awkward?

"Are we there?"

After getting out of the car, Gao Panpan changed the subject.

Du Linlang pointed to a villa not far away, with a limited edition supercar parked in front, and said, "That one."

Gao Panpan was surprised, "That car..."

"Xiao Feng's," Du Linlang replied casually, recounting the previous car accident to Gao Panpan.

After listening, Gao Panpan nodded in agreement, "I wouldn't believe it if it were someone else, but Xiao Feng, he would definitely do that. Just one step on the gas, and it would likely cost millions!"

Du Linlang chuckled, "In your case, you could do it too. He didn't spend money on the car, and repairs don't cost him anything. Without any cost involved, naturally, there's no pain."

"Didn't spend money?" Gao Panpan pressed for details.

Could it be stolen?

As she was thinking, she heard the sound of running behind her, accompanied by a man's shout, "Make way, make way!"

Both Du Linlang and Gao Panpan paused and moved aside, seeing a delivery man, helmeted and knee-padded, sprinting to the villa's gate where the supercar was parked.

The delivery man pressed the intercom button at the entrance and, upon connecting, said, "Is Mr. Zhao Tiezhu there? Please come out and take your delivery."

This scene left Du Linlang and Gao Panpan looking at each other in confusion. Could it be they had the wrong address?

Soon, Du Linlang dismissed that idea. Knowing Du Qingyue's personality, it was impossible she would give a false address.

If Xiao Feng were present, he would know; this was undoubtedly another name left by Jiang Yixin.

Soon, Jiang Yixin appeared in the yard, didn't open the door but stretched out his hand through the gate to take the delivery.

But just then, a fierce look flashed across the delivery man's eyes as he swiftly pulled a dagger from his pocket, stabbing it towards Jiang Yixin's abdomen without hesitation.

"Watch out!" Gao Panpan urgently warned, but it seemed it was already too late.

Du Linlang also looked slightly pale. She had worked with Jiang Yixin before, and aside from not considering Du Qingyue, she considered him unquestionably a friend worth having, so naturally, she didn't want any mishaps to occur.

Yet the next moment, something unexpected happened.

Jiang Yixin didn't panic at all; instead, he grabbed the delivery man's wrist at lightning speed and squeezed it forcefully.

"Clang!"

The dagger fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Yixin gave a sharp pull, and the delivery man slammed against the gate.

"Ah!"

The delivery man screamed in pain.

Jiang Yixin remained unmoved, gripping the man's wrist with one hand, pressing his arm with the other, and exerting a sudden force in the opposite direction.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones snapping was heard. Under such intense pain, the delivery man's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

The entire process, from the knife attack to the fainting, took less than thirty seconds.

"Hmph!" Jiang Yixin snorted coldly, clapping his hands, as if it were the easiest thing for him.

Not far away, Gao Panpan was already stunned!

She had never expected that the seemingly fragile Jiang Yixin could react so quickly and possess such impressive skills.

If Jiang Yixin knew about this thought, he might sigh inwardly, thinking that if he couldn't even handle such a small fry, all the beatings he'd endured before would have been in vain.

As for Du Linlang, although equally astonished by Jiang Yixin's display, she wasn't overly surprised.

She walked straight over and smiled, "Long time no see, Yixin."

"President Du." Jiang Yixin politely nodded.

Du Linlang immediately put on a pained expression, smiling bitterly, "Are we so distant now?"

The tone of her words sounded very much like asking a former girlfriend or boyfriend: Have you forgotten all the kindness I showed you?

Jiang Yixin felt a tinge of helplessness. With Du Linlang's tendency to get sentimental now and then, hardly anyone could handle that!

"And this is?" Jiang Yixin looked towards Gao Panpan.

Gao Panpan came over and introduced herself, "My name is Gao Panpan, President Du's personal assistant."

"Oh." Jiang Yixin nodded, looking at her with a sympathetic gaze, "My name is Jiang Yixin. Thank you for the heads-up just now."

Gao Panpan felt a bit awkward, clearly realizing that even without her warning, the other person wouldn't have been stabbed.

"Not going to invite me in?" Du Linlang raised her left hand with stinky tofu and her right hand with durian, smiling, "I come bearing gifts."

Jiang Yixin slightly frowned; those gifts were truly... unique.

Nonetheless, he still opened the door and invited the two inside.

"Don't we need to call the police?" Gao Panpan pointed to the delivery man lying on the ground.

Jiang Yixin shook his head, "No need, someone will handle it later."
