22: Chapter 22 That bastard is really too audacious.

Luo Wei was, of course, joking.

He didn't actually drag Cheng Yunshu to a hotel.

After filling her stomach, Cheng Yunshu slipped away in a flash.

Luo Wei, meanwhile, received a call from his beautiful Female Superior, Shen Yanqiu.

On the phone, Shen Yanqiu mentioned something.

"A friend of mine just asked for your contact information, saying someone wants to ask for your help."

"I'm not sure who it is or what they need help with. It's up to you; don't feel forced just because they're my friend."

Hearing this, Luo Wei immediately thought of Liu Zhixu, who had been mentioned in the intelligence.

"President Shen, I understand."

"By the way, I'll drive the car back to the company later."

Luo Wei hadn't forgotten that he had driven off in Shen Yanqiu's car, and he intended to return it.

"No need." Shen Yanqiu laughed on the other end of the line. "You can keep that car; it'll be more convenient for you when you're out running errands."

Good grief, that beautiful Female Superior was really treating him too well!

This gave Luo Wei the feeling of being a kept man.

However, thinking about what happened last night...

It seemed only natural for Shen Yanqiu to give him a car.

After hanging up, Luo Wei felt a surge of excitement.

Before, he had struggled desperately to gain a foothold in this city and achieve his dream of buying a house and a car.

But today, he had easily become a homeowner and car owner.

It was truly somewhat unbelievable.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Wei left the restaurant.

He drove to the mall to go on another shopping spree.

This time, he bought nothing but bedsheets, quilts, and daily necessities.

Since he had bought a house, he naturally couldn't return to living in that cramped rental room.

Of course, he wasn't in a hurry to tell his sister about this, or she would start overthinking things.

After finishing his shopping, Luo Wei drove to the Bishui Manor Community, went to the 16th floor of Building C, and opened the door to Room 1601.

He laid out the newly purchased bedding and arranged his daily necessities.

From now on, this was his home!

He finally had a place of his own in this city!

While Luo Wei was filled with emotion, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw a string of unknown numbers on the screen.

The person calling... could it be that Liu Zhixu?

Luo Wei answered the phone while speculating, "Hello?"

"Hello!" A soft, sweet female voice came through the receiver. "You're Luo Wei, right?"

"That's right, and you are..."

"My name is Liu Zhixu!" the soft voice quickly introduced herself.

"I saw you at the Zhenbai Investigation Company yesterday, but you probably didn't notice me then."

"Oh..." Luo Wei had known this for a while. "I heard you have something you want my help with?"

"Yes, yes!" The soft-voiced Liu Zhixu tried to explain. "Yesterday, I originally wanted to commission the Zhenbai Investigation Company to handle some things, but then I found out you were even more impressive, so..."

Without waiting for her to finish, Luo Wei gave a crisp answer, "No problem, I agree!"

"Ah..." Liu Zhixu didn't expect Luo Wei to be so straightforward.

"I... I haven't even said what I need help with yet..."

Luo Wei chuckled. "Do you want me to refuse?"

"No, no!" Liu Zhixu felt that Luo Wei wasn't playing by the rules. "So, are you free now..."

"If you're free, please come to Unit 1602, Building C of the Bishui Manor Community as soon as possible. I'll explain the situation in detail when you get here!"

Building C, Unit 1602—wasn't that the address of his neighbor across the hall?

Luo Wei readily agreed and then hung up.

At the same time, the system's pleasant notification sound rang out.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 intelligence point.]

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Although he didn't know what Liu Zhixu wanted help with...

...he had agreed without hesitation precisely to obtain intelligence points.

But he hadn't expected that just by agreeing to help Liu Zhixu, even before doing anything, he would be considered to have grasped the information and earned an intelligence point.

Meanwhile, inside Unit 1602.

After finishing the call with Luo Wei, Liu Zhixu gave an 'OK' gesture to her anxious Best Friend.

In fact, the reason she sought Luo Wei's help was entirely to assist her Best Friend.

"That Luo Wei is very powerful. Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes how he kicked a wall so hard it was covered in cracks!"

"I was dumbfounded by the shock at the time, and by the time I came to my senses, he had already left."

"I had to pull a lot of strings just to find his contact information."

"Once he gets here, he'll definitely be able to..."

"Ding-dong, ding-dong—"

Liu Zhixu was vividly recounting what she had seen and heard at the Zhenbai Investigation Company yesterday.

The doorbell rang without warning, making her whole body tremble, while her Best Friend curled into a ball, nearly scared to tears!

"That bastard is simply too bold!" Liu Zhixu gnashed her teeth. "He actually dares to ring the doorbell? I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind!"

Liu Zhixu grabbed the pepper spray from the table and strode toward the entrance.

However, when she saw the person shown on the electronic peephole screen...

...she was incredibly surprised!

The person standing outside the door was actually Luo Wei!

Liu Zhixu felt like she was seeing things. She shouted through the door, "Luo Wei, how did you get here so fast?"

"We just finished our call, and you're already here? Did you fly?"

Luo Wei smiled and pointed behind him. "To tell you the truth, I just bought Room 1601 this morning."

"I was just setting up my new home when I happened to receive your call."

"Really?" Liu Zhixu was full of suspicion.

"Show me your property deed!"

Good grief, just what had happened to Liu Zhixu to make her so cautious?

Signaling for her to wait a moment, Luo Wei stepped out of the peephole's view and took the bright red property deed from his system inventory.

Then, he returned to the door of Unit 1602 and opened the deed for Liu Zhixu to see.

Seeing that Luo Wei really was her neighbor, Liu Zhixu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly opened the door.

Suddenly, a short girl with a bob cut appeared before Luo Wei's eyes.

Liu Zhixu looked out the door warily and then beckoned to Luo Wei, "Come in quickly!"

After getting a pair of slippers for Luo Wei from the shoe cabinet, she hurried back to the living room to report the news to her Best Friend.

"Nanqiao, you'll never guess! That Luo Wei bought the unit across the hall; he's our neighbor!"

"Nanqiao?"

"Could it be Gu Nanqiao?"

Luo Wei changed his shoes and walked into the apartment.

Sure enough, he saw a familiar Black Stocking Older Sister Figure.

The day before yesterday, based on system intelligence, he had found the pearl earring Gu Nanqiao had lost in a Uniqlo fitting room.

After returning the earring, Gu Nanqiao had given him a five-thousand-yuan reward.

At this moment, Gu Nanqiao's delicate face was filled with astonishment.

She certainly remembered Luo Wei.

She really hadn't expected that the 'very powerful person' her Best Friend spoke of...

...would be the one who had found her pearl earring. The world really was too small...
