On his first morning in his new home, Wang Hao was awakened by a series of loud, commotion-filled noises.

He opened his eyes, still a little dazed.

Beneath him was a soft mattress, and his wife, Li Ting, was still asleep.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the morning light illuminated the river.

"Hey old man, come quick! This bathtub can even give you a massage!"

"How come this toilet seat heats up by itself? Oh! And it flushes automatically!"

The mother-in-law's strong voice came from the living room.

Wang Hao shook his head with a wry smile and quietly got out of bed.

He walked into the living room and saw his mother-in-law holding her phone, with the amplifier turned on, loudly showing off to the person on the other end of the line.

"Third Sister! You heard me right! It's Jiangcheng No. 1 Courtyard! The top floor! 360 square meters! It was a gift from my son-in-law's friend! Yes, yes, that's Xiao Fei, the one I told you about, he's made something of himself!"

Li Ting's father stood with his hands behind his back, peeking into each room with a smile on his face.

"Mom, please keep your voice down, the neighbors are still resting."

Wang Hao reminded him.

"Hey, what's there to be afraid of! This house is very soundproof!"

Li's mother waved her hand dismissively and continued talking on the phone, "Renovation? All-inclusive! All appliances included! Xiaofei said we can stay wherever we want! He has two other apartments himself! Right upstairs and downstairs from us!"

Wang Hao's temples throbbed.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it, so early in the morning?"

Li's mother muttered to herself as she walked over to open the door.

A middle-aged woman, dressed fashionably, stood outside the door, carrying a basket of fruit.

"Hello, is this Mr. Wang's home?"

The woman smiled warmly.

"Yes, who are you?"

Li's mother asked warily.

"Oh, I live in the building across from yours! I heard yesterday that we have new neighbors, and they're friends with Mr. Shen, a big celebrity in Jiangcheng! I came here specifically to congratulate them!"

As the woman spoke, she forcefully shoved the fruit basket into Li's mother's arms and then peered inside.

Upon hearing "Mr. Shen, a famous person," Li's mother immediately straightened her back and politely ushered him in.

"Oh, you're too kind! Please come in!"

The moment the woman entered, her eyes were glued to the room, and she kept clicking her tongue.

She didn't greet Wang Hao, but instead went directly to Li's mother and whispered:

"Hey, I have a question for you. That Mr. Shen... is he... still single?"

Wang Hao's face darkened.

Before Li's mother could answer, the doorbell rang again.

In less than an hour, seven or eight strangers squeezed into the spacious living room.

Some people claimed to be distant relatives of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and immediately called Li's mother "mother-in-law".

Some people brought their children and insisted that their children were fans of Shen Fei and wanted an autograph.

Even more outrageous was a woman in a skirt suit who pushed through the crowd, walked up to Wang Hao, and handed him a business card.

"Hello Mr. Wang, my name is Wang Mei, and I am a well-known top matchmaker in the city."

She opened her photo album, which was full of pictures of well-dressed young girls.

"I have information on all the prominent young ladies in Jiangcheng. Take a look, do you think any of them are a good match for Mr. Shen? If you can help make a connection, this is the amount you'll receive!"

She held up five fingers.

The living room was a mess, and the noise was giving me a headache.

Li Ting was also woken up. She came out in her pajamas and saw this scene, so she quickly hid back in her room.

Wang Hao's face turned ashen. He took out his phone and dialed Shen Fei's number.

"Feizi...something's happened..."

Meanwhile, in a bare-bones apartment in another building.

Shen Fei was sitting cross-legged in the center of the living room, sensing the resonance between the dragon bone and the river water.

Pete walked over cautiously, holding his vibrating phone.

"Boss, it's Mr. Wang on the phone."

Shen Fei opened his eyes, took the phone, and listened to Wang Hao's narration on the other end, his brows furrowing slightly.

"I see."

His voice was calm. "Lock the door, draw the curtains, and don't talk to anyone. I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Pete:

"You stay here. Notify Mr. Ma to send a security team to seal off this building. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission. Also, find out who leaked my friend's address."

After Shen Fei finished speaking, he walked towards the door without waiting for Pete's response.

He went straight down the emergency exit, his figure flashing a few times in the blind spots of the surveillance cameras, and appeared downstairs in the building where Wang Hao lived.

Looking down at the people still lingering downstairs, trying to get close to the security guards, Shen Fei's eyes turned cold.

He dialed Wang Hao's number.

"Open the door."

Upon hearing those two words, Wang Hao, who was about to be driven crazy by the phone call, immediately rushed over and opened the door.

Outside the door, Shen Fei stood alone, with the security team gradually closing in behind him.

He went into the house, closed the door behind him, shutting out all the noise from outside.

In the living room, the so-called "relatives" and "classmates" were silent for a second when they saw Shen Fei appear, but then they swarmed around him in a chaotic manner.

"Xiao Fei! You've finally arrived!"

"Mr. Shen, I'm Wang Mei, the top matchmaker!"

Shen Fei ignored everyone and walked straight to Li Ting's parents, whose faces were pale, and bowed slightly.

"Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry, it was my oversight that caused you trouble."

A simple sentence eased the old man's expression.

Then he turned around, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"Everyone..."

"My friend's house is not a market. Now, please leave immediately."

"Hey, Xiaofei, what are you saying..." That "aunt" still wanted to take advantage of her age.

Shen Fei didn't give her a chance at all and looked directly at the top matchmaker, Wang Mei.

"Your name is Wang Mei? I'll remember you."

He took out his phone and dialed a number in front of everyone. "Hello, Lao Ma? Yes, this is Shen Fei. Does your company have a top matchmaker named Wang Mei? Hmm, I don't want to see her in Jiangcheng anymore. What? She's your company's cash cow? Then take your company with her."

The voice on the other end of the phone, faintly pleading for mercy, could be heard through the receiver.

Shen Fei hung up the phone without expression.

The entire living room was quiet.

Wang Mei's face instantly drained of color, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Now," Shen Fei's gaze swept over the crowd again, "is there anyone who doesn't want to leave?"

The crowd erupted into chaos, scrambling and stumbling towards the door, afraid of being too slow.

In less than a minute, the world was quiet.

Shen Fei then walked up to his mother-in-law, his tone calm but with a hint of warning:

"Auntie, this house is a gift for Wang Hao and Li Ting. Tranquility is the most important part of this gift. I hope you will cherish it."

After finishing his business here, Shen Fei didn't linger.

The city has become bustling again because of his return.

He was getting tired of the noise.

He felt it was about time to go back to Canada.
