On the other side, in the Longdu Tianshan District.

An elderly man with gray hair walked slowly along the mountain road.

He was wearing a slightly faded dark gray tracksuit and ordinary sneakers, without any expensive jewelry.

He has been wearing this tracksuit for four years.

His driver had prepared many new clothes from international brands for him, and his secretary had also advised him to change into an outfit more befitting his status, but he always felt it was unnecessary.

As long as clothes are clean and comfortable, the price doesn't matter.

He doesn't like luxury cars, nor is he interested in luxury goods.

But when it comes to charity, he is never stingy.

Over the years, the amount of money he has donated to impoverished areas in China has reached a figure that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

This seemingly ordinary old man is none other than Ma Kang, an overseas Chinese tycoon with a net worth of two hundred billion US dollars.

The Sun Family Manor is located deep in the Tianshan District.

This place is far from the city center, with a quiet environment and shady trees all around.

The mountain roads are wide and flat. Occasionally, luxury cars drive past Ma Kang, but none of them stop.

Ma Kang didn't care and just continued forward according to the location on his phone.

He specifically dismissed his bodyguards and secretary for today's inspection.

The accompanying vehicle was parked an hour away, with no one following them and no one notifying the Sun family in advance.

He just wanted to see for himself how the Sun family would treat an ordinary old man without knowing his identity.

The charitable foundation has an initial investment of 30 billion yuan.

This is not a small amount of money.

Partners not only need to have sufficient business capabilities, but also the most basic goodwill and sense of responsibility.

If you can't even tolerate an ordinary person who comes to your door asking for water, how can you possibly genuinely help those poor families?

After walking for more than an hour, Ma Kang finally arrived outside the Sun family manor.

Behind the tall iron gate are neatly trimmed lawns and rows of luxurious buildings.

Several security guards stood upright at the entrance, their eyes constantly scanning the vehicles coming and going.

They had already received orders that any unfamiliar visitors must be reported promptly in the coming days.

Ma Kang walked to the door, but did not reveal his identity directly. Instead, he sat down on the steps next to the door.

He was a little tired from walking, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

A security guard glanced at him a few times, then stepped forward and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Ma Kang looked up at him and said only one sentence: "I'm waiting for someone here."

"Waiting for whom?"

"People from the Sun family."

The security guard looked him up and down.

His sportswear was a bit old, and his shoes were covered in dust from the mountain road. He had neither a driver nor a bodyguard with him.

By any measure, they don't seem like important guests.

But the steward has repeatedly told us that someone may be secretly investigating the Sun family recently.

The security guard dared not ignore it completely, so he turned around, went into the duty room, and dialed an internal phone number.

"Young Master Sun, an old man has arrived at the manor gate."

When asked if he was looking for someone, he said he was waiting for someone from the Sun family, but he didn't specify who.

"And he came alone, dressed very plainly."

On the other end of the phone, Sun Xiuzheng was reviewing Ma Kang's information.

Upon hearing the report, he immediately looked up.

Before leaving, Grandpa repeatedly warned that someone might be secretly investigating Ma Kang beforehand.

The sudden appearance of an unfamiliar elderly person at this moment certainly warrants confirmation.

"Don't send them away yet, I'm coming right away."

Sun Xiu hung up the phone, got up and left the room.

As soon as he stepped into the corridor, he saw Shen Jianjun coming towards him.

"Ash, has Mr. Ma arrived?"

Shen Jianjun has been keeping a close eye on the 30 billion yuan charity fund these days.

Jianjun Group has gone bankrupt, and the only family he can rely on is the Sun family.

If the Sun family successfully secures this funding, they might assign him some management duties.

At that time, he will have the opportunity to get involved in large-scale projects again and slowly regain his lost status.

"It's not certain yet."

Sun Xiu said, "The security guard only said that an unfamiliar elderly man had come to the gate, and I'll go take a look."

"Then I'll go with you."

Shen Jianjun quickly followed up: "Mr. Ma Kang has a special status, so we can't overlook any details."

The two soon arrived at the entrance of the manor.

From a distance of more than ten meters, Sun Xiu saw Ma Kang sitting on the steps.

There were no luxury cars, no secretaries, and no hordes of bodyguards.

It's an ordinary tracksuit, and you can't tell that it's expensive.

Sun Xiu's face, which had initially held a degree of caution, suddenly revealed obvious disdain.

"Him?"

The security guard nodded quickly: "Yes, it's this old man."

"He has been sitting here ever since he arrived, saying he is waiting for the Sun family."

Shen Jianjun did not draw a conclusion immediately.

He looked closely at Ma Kang and felt that although the man was dressed plainly, he was very calm.

Most people who come to Tianshan District know the status of the Sun family.

Ordinary people sitting at the entrance of the manor, facing the security guards and members of the Sun family, would feel somewhat reserved.

But the old man in front of me showed no sign of hesitation from beginning to end.

Shen Jianjun lowered his voice and reminded him, "Let's go and confirm it. Your grandfather specifically said that we can't judge someone's identity by their clothes."

Sun Xiu glanced at him sideways: "Uncle, do you mean this person might be Ma Kang?"

"It cannot be ruled out."

"Uncle, you've managed a multi-billion dollar conglomerate before, how come you lack even this basic insight?"

Sun Xiu made no attempt to hide the disdain in his tone: "Ma Kang has a net worth of two hundred billion US dollars, where doesn't he receive the highest level of hospitality?"

"Would he wear an old tracksuit and walk to the gate of the manor when he came to the Sun family to investigate a 30 billion yuan cooperation deal?"

"Mr. Ma is indeed low-key in his daily life."

Shen Jianjun, suppressing his embarrassment, said, "He doesn't like luxury cars and luxury goods; this is stated in publicly available information."

"Moreover, being low-key does not mean being stingy."

Sun Xiu sneered: "Even the most low-key top tycoons value their lives and are afraid of accidents, so they all have secretaries and bodyguards around them."

"He's so old, can he really walk all the way to the Tianshan area by himself?"

"This is clearly an elderly person who was taking a walk nearby and got tired, so they sat down to rest at the door."

Several security guards, upon hearing this assessment, also found it to be quite reasonable.

Who is Ma Kang?

With a net worth of $200 billion, he plans to donate $30 billion to establish a charitable foundation.

How could a tycoon of this caliber come to Longdu without a single person by his side?

Sun Xiu walked to the steps and looked down at Ma Kang.

"Old man, who are you?"

"What brings you to the Sun family?"

Ma Kang raised his head, his gaze lingering on Sun Xiu's face for a moment, but he did not answer.

Sun Xiu frowned. He had come out to ask the question himself, but the other party remained silent.

If his grandfather hadn't told him not to easily drive away unfamiliar visitors recently, he would have had the security guards take the person away long ago.

"Are you mute? I'm asking you a question."

Sun Xiu's tone became more impatient: "Who exactly are you looking for?"

Ma Kang still did not reveal his identity, only looking into the manor.

He was indeed thirsty after walking for so long. "Could I have a glass of water?"

Sun Xiu was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened completely.

He waited anxiously for Ma Kang at the manor, asking for the latest news every now and then.

All the reception staff were ready, and the kitchen was stocked with the finest teas and drinks.

As a result, the security guard called him to the door, just because an old man taking a walk wanted to ask for a glass of water.
