Chapter 453: Chapter 433: Light without Debts

"""

In the matter of giving face to others, Lord Dong dares to be second to none.

At this moment, Feng Biao’s biggest feeling is the lack of a sense of participation.

The chance to stand in a bank queue and loudly declare a deposit of over a hundred million, drawing surprised and envious glances from everyone, is something he would never have.

He also lost the chance to provide a new employee at a car dealership with the joy of selling a million-dollar luxury car while his plainly dressed, even shabby-looking parents were scorned and barely regarded by the sales staff.

When buying a house, he no longer has the chance to surprise the condescending salespeople by revealing his wealth in an unexpected twist.

He didn’t even have to lift a finger, not even given the chance to spend his own money; everything was taken care of, all settled.

Not having experienced the transformation from a poor boy to a billionaire is truly regrettable.

Looking at the two new cars in front of him, Feng Biao fell into deep thought.

The money was paid by Gao Yi, the cars were provided by the local service, and they even conveniently registered the vehicles for Feng Biao, with the main selling point being peace of mind.

"These are our cars?"

Feng Guoqiang looked at the two new cars parked outside, engulfed in shock.

Becoming too accustomed to shock lessens the surprise; it was as if no sooner had they spoken of buying cars, someone had driven them over, not giving Feng Guoqiang the chance to choose the color, pick a chassis number, or register the license plate, to the point that he felt as if these cars had nothing to do with him.

He was just afraid someone might drive the new cars away again.

"The license plate number is great! Five solid numbers, hard to find these days. But how did you get it? Can you really register it without going to the vehicle management office?"

The local service quietly handed over two vehicle registration certificates, two green car titles, and four sets of car keys.

"Mr. Feng, everything is ready for the two cars, and even your driver’s license has been renewed for you."

A driver’s license?

It was only then that Feng Biao remembered he did not have a driver’s license. But looking at the license that came with the vehicle paperwork, he sank back into contemplation.

"Old Feng, isn’t that Biao? When did you get back? This car..."

Feng Guoqiang spoke very calmly to the neighbor: "Oh, my son bought it. The number plate was just put on. Sigh, we’re used to living here and don’t want to move, but now we have no choice – can’t even fit the car."

Feng Guoqiang finally found an opportunity to show off, but Feng Biao was too preoccupied to greet the old neighbors, pulling the local service aside.

After receiving the document bag with the certificates and car keys, Feng Biao spoke seemingly casually to the local service: "I’m just here to visit family and will be leaving soon. Actually, you don’t have to keep helping me like this; it makes me feel somewhat embarrassed."

This wasn’t just about feeling embarrassed, but rather Feng Biao didn’t want to live under someone’s surveillance, whether well-intentioned or not – being watched was simply unnerving.

Take these cars for instance, now that the plates are on, doesn’t it mean they’ll be under someone’s special attention from now on?

The local service still smiled and said: "It’s the higher-ups’ orders. Actually, I don’t know what your background is, Mr. Feng, but since they value you this highly, you shouldn’t be too humble."

Was this sort of a half-warning?

Feng Biao couldn’t help but overthink a little; however, given his experiences, it never hurts to be extra cautious.

So, is this grand welcome upon his return truly a good thing?

While Feng Biao was pondering this, the local service stepped aside to take a phone call.

"I’ve delivered the car and am with Mr. Feng right now. Oh? Yes, I understand."

The local service exchanged only a few words before hanging up the call and then spoke to Feng Biao: "Mr. Feng, could you please call President Gao? He has something to discuss with you."

Feng Biao was surprised and replied, "If he needs to talk, he would call me directly. Why do I need to call him?"

"I’m not sure about that, perhaps it was just a message for me to pass on to you."

Curious yet cautious, Feng Biao stepped to the side and made a call to Gao Yi.

"""

The call connected, and then Feng Biao heard Gao Yi speak weakly, "I’m pretty busy over here, that, Teacher Mu has something for me, but I really don’t have time to deal with it right now. Since you’re heading back, why don’t you meet with Teacher Mu? Go with the person I’ve handed things over to. He’s reliable. I can’t explain clearly right now, but once you see him, you’ll understand. Anyway, you just make the decision for me."

"Make what decision for you... What’s going on over there, no problems, right?"

Feng Biao felt a bit confused because Gao Yi’s words were muddled and sounded rushed.

If Gao Yi had even a little free time, he wouldn’t be this hurried and unable to clearly explain the situation.

So, Feng Biao couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened on Gao Yi’s end.

"There’s no problem here, just that it’s troublesome. Damn it, there aren’t many people in Germany, making it not so easy to make a move. Anyway, you don’t need to worry. Just stay home and behave. Teacher Mu has some matters with me, nothing serious, just a favor. He couldn’t directly ask, and neither could I directly inquire. He knows you’ve gone back, so he wants to meet and talk. So even I’m not clear what he actually wants to do. Therefore, you go and see. If it’s manageable, make the call for me. If it’s not, just forget it. That’s it, will talk later."

Gao Yi hung up the phone in a hurry.

Feng Biao was somewhat lost, feeling like the script where the ’King of Soldiers’ returns to the city to play a hidden tiger was gone. Could it be that he was to become a friendly bridge?

A mercenary, Feng Biao wondered what he could do?

The key was that Feng Biao was aware of Teacher Mu’s identity and his significant role to Gao Yi, but meeting with Teacher Mu?

He couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t make sense of it all.

Feng Biao hung up the phone and looked at the ground liaison.

The ground liaison spoke with a troubled expression, "Mr. Feng, if you have time today, shall we take a trip to Beijing?"

"Sure, let’s go!"

It only takes half an hour by high-speed rail from Jinmen to Beijing, at most two hours by car. It’s not far anyway, so going on a trip is no big deal.

The key was that Feng Biao knew Teacher Mu had helped Gao Yi a lot. After Lin Xianghua returned, he still had to consult Teacher Mu about some creative matters. So, this rare first meeting shouldn’t be with empty hands.

Feng Biao made up his mind and immediately turned to Feng Guoqiang, who was inspecting the car, and said, "Dad, I’m heading to Beijing this afternoon. When you have time, go with mom to buy the house, second-hand is fine, a well-decorated one with furniture is best, saves trouble."

Feng Guoqiang was startled for a moment, then said, "Ah, going to Beijing? How about... I go with you?"

Feng Biao shook his head, "No, you don’t have to go, it’s not convenient."

"I’ll just drive you there, I’ll come back after I drop you off."

They’ve bought a new car; it needs to be used.

After thinking it over, Feng Biao looked at the ground liaison.

The ground liaison immediately said, "If it’s personal business, I don’t have to go with you. We can meet up in Beijing."

Feng Biao quickly responded, "That works. You and mom drive me there, then you two can stroll around Beijing and have fun. If I’m free in the evening, I’ll join you."

With just a few words, everything was arranged. All that was left was to head out and meet up.

Jinmen is just a stone’s throw away from Beijing. Feng Guoqiang has been there many times, but driving his own car there was a first.

He drove an Audi A6, a low-profile choice.

Feng Biao sat in the back seat, observing his parents start praising the car as soon as they got in. He finally felt that it was all worth it.

His life, if given to Gao Yi, was worth it. To stumble and die immediately, right now, would also be worth it.

Knowing that even if he were to die immediately, his parents would live comfortably for the rest of their lives, and knowing his wife could raise their child without worries, Feng Biao felt that he had finally repaid all the debts and favors owed in his early life.

The feeling of being debt-free was truly wonderful.

As for what he owed Gao Yi, that wasn’t considered a debt, because up until this moment, Feng Biao felt that his life already belonged to Gao Yi.

It wasn’t borrowed, so naturally, there was no talk of repayment.

Feng Biao didn’t know many idioms, but there was one he did know, "A man dies for those who appreciate him." He wasn’t sure how appropriate this idiom was, but anyway, he was willing to die for Gao Yi, and that was enough.
