Lin Zhen entrusted the matter to Zhao Liang, which meant that he owed Zhao Liang a favor. After all, now Lin Zhen was only a junior student, and he didn’t have much influence in Base City. However, once Lin Zhen gained strength, he would need to repay this favor.

Zhao Liang even sent two junior War Generals to protect Lin Zhen’s parents. With just one day left, Lin Zhen could take his parents home.

Lin Zhen left the hospital first and went straight to the Jiangbei villa area.

The three-story detached villa was fully furnished inside, but it needed some necessities, such as furniture and appliances. Lin Zhen installed a computer first, then started shopping online.

With 500,000 in his card, it was not enough to set up a villa, but in one day, he roughly finished the layout, leaving only a little over 100,000 in the card.

Curtains, beds, sofas, carpets, computers, TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, various cabinets, kitchen and bathroom supplies, etc., money was needed everywhere. By midnight, the initial completion was done.

“It’s almost done. Dad will be discharged tomorrow, and it’s best for them to handle the move themselves. They won’t have to lift a finger, as the moving company will take care of everything. This is also a chance for my parents to hold their heads high.”

“It looks like I’ll have to borrow a car from the martial arts school tomorrow and owe them another small favor. When I have more money, I’ll buy a car.”

He called Zhao Liang again to borrow a car, and Zhao Liang agreed readily. Since it was already late, Lin Zhen simply spent the night in the villa. The next morning, a vehicle from the martial arts school arrived, and Lin Zhen drove back to the hospital.

Cars were easy to drive nowadays, and Martial Artists didn’t even need a license to drive one. This was an example of special privilege.

Returning to the hospital, the Gale Martial Arts Hall emblem on the car immediately attracted many people’s attention.

As Hua Xia’s No.1 Martial Arts Hall, Gale had a great reputation among the people, who consciously avoided the vehicle in case they offended the bigwigs inside.

Lin Zhen got out of the car, went to the ward, thanked the two Martial Artists from Gale, and then paid the hospital bill.

The hospitalization fee wasn’t much, and the security guards didn’t even dare to ask for Lin Zhen’s compensation. Lin Zhen didn’t care about their feelings, threw the money and left. He wouldn’t give anyone leverage over him in such minor matters.

However, now there was only a little more than 20,000 left in his card.

His parents felt like they were dreaming when they saw the Gale Martial Arts Hall’s Falcon 3-generation jeep. It wasn’t until the car returned to their residential building that they came to their senses.

The arrival of the car in their residential area drew even more attention. When they saw the Lin family getting out of the car, the neighbors gathered around.

“Old Lin, have your injuries healed? How come you’ve returned in a Gale Martial Arts Hall car?”

“Do you have any relatives in Gale? How have we never heard of such a big shot?”

“This car is so cool, it must cost at least a few million.”

“Hmph, even if you have a few million, you can’t afford the same model as this. This is Gale’s car, do you know Gale? It’s the No.1 Martial Arts Hall of the country, and that title can’t be bought with any amount of money.”

Amid the envious gazes of the people, Lin Liye coughed and began to speak: “We’ve all been old neighbors for a long time, and you know that our family doesn’t have any big shot relatives. Didn’t my son Lin Zhen get good grades in his graduation exam and get recruited by Gale?”

“Ah! Really? Lin Zhen joined Gale?”

“Oh my god, Old Lin, you’ve made it big now, you’ve raised a good son!”

“Our community is also going to have a big shot! You guys should learn from Brother Lin Zhen and strive to join Gale in the future too.”

“Our area has finally produced a second Martial Artist! After Li Mengxi, daughter of the Li family, was recruited by the martial arts school, she moved away too. Now I hear she’s living in a villa.”

“Yeah, I remember Lin Zhen and Li Mengxi being inseparable when they were younger. Maybe they’ll end up together in the future.”

With a smile, Lin Zhen left his parents to chat with the old neighbors while he and the moving company workers took care of the move.

Most of the things in the house weren’t needed anymore. Lin Zhen just packed up some old stuff, and after a while, his mother Li Qin came up to help with the packing.

The movers took the packed items away.

After everything was packed, Lin Zhen looked at the house one last time. They were finally leaving this place.

The house could be put up for sale by proxy. Although it wasn’t worth much, it was his parents’ hard-earned property and shouldn’t be abandoned for nothing. However, he didn’t need to worry about this himself. Once the house was sold, the money, minus the commission, would be directly transferred to his mother’s card.

“Let’s go, Mom. Once you see our new home, you won’t miss this place anymore.”‘

Li Qin nodded and followed Lin Zhen downstairs.

He saw Lin Liye chatting with the neighbors, looking radiant under the limelight. You couldn’t even tell he had been injured.

Seeing Lin Zhen, Lin Liye said to the neighbors, “Goodbye, everyone. If you have time, you can come to our house in Jiangbei Villa area. It’s quite lonely for just the two of us, so feel free to visit and chat, have a drink.”

“Sure, don’t worry, Brother Lin. We’ll definitely come to your house to see the world.”

“Yeah, the security there is quite strict, so you have to let us in.”

“Now we also have something to brag about when we go out—we have a big shot from our community! Ha ha!”

Lin Zhen didn’t say anything, he just smiled. After his parents got in the car, he stepped on the gas, and the Falcon sped out of the community.

When they arrived at the Jiangbei Villa, his parents were completely shocked once again. Lin Liye even sat on the sofa laughing, almost triggering a cough due to his injury, and Li Qin pinched him hard.

“Mom and Dad, I bought all the stuff for the house. Here’s 20,000 for you to spend as pocket money. I think people from Base City will come today for you to fill out forms and sort out the pension issue. Just buy whatever you need online. The security here is very strict. If someone comes, be sure to verify their identity before opening the door, and nobody will be able to sneak in.”

“Son, what are you going to do?” Li Qin was still worried about Lin Zhen.

“Mom, I have to go to the martial arts school. I’m now a part of it, and I can’t stay at home every day. In the future, I may not spend a lot of time at home. This is my job.”

“That’s right, a man should have his own career. Son, don’t worry about going out. We’ll be all right, your mom and I.” Lin Liye looked quite spirited, and with a few more days of recovery, his injury would be almost completely healed.

“Dad, you should drink less too. By the way, I’ve found the people who beat you. I’ll handle this situation, so don’t worry.”

“Okay, son, I trust you, but don’t get into fights with others. Don’t let your mom and I worry. I’ve heard that fights between Martial Artists are quite frightening, and people dying is a common thing.”

“That won’t happen, you just have to trust your son.”

Lin Zhen explained to his parents how to use some things in the house. They had a meal together, and he didn’t leave for the martial arts school until the evening.

Although he was supposed to report to the martial arts school tomorrow, Lin Zhen wanted to return the car and didn’t want to waste any more time. He wanted to improve his abilities as soon as possible.
