Going Home

The night passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, everyone got up early to wash up.

This night was the most comfortable sleep anyone had gotten in a long time.

Everyone was full of energy, sweeping away their previous exhaustion.

At 8:20 in the morning, the group had a simple breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

At 8:40, the twelve of them came to the hotel lobby to check out.

Before nine o'clock, everyone got into the cars and headed towards Hetian Airport.

It was about 190 kilometers from Yutian County to Hetian Kungang Airport, but the entire route was on the highway.

In about two hours, the three cars arrived at Hetian Airport.

This airport was very small, a 4D-class dual-use military and civil airport.

Unlike the massive and complex international airports in big cities, after parking the cars, they reached the terminal in just a few steps.

Meng Wenzhou had already found someone to handle the car shipping, so all they needed to do now was check in and wait for their flight.

Soon, everyone finished checking in.

Meng Wenzhou had booked tickets for a 12:25 PM flight to Rongcheng.

After waiting in the departure lounge for over thirty minutes, they lined up to board.

"We're finally flying!" Meng Qianyu was exceptionally happy.

Su Qingci felt the same way. Although she loved traveling, this was the longest she had been away from home.

Her parents at home had been urging her to return for a while. If she hadn't informed them beforehand about entering the no-man's land, her parents probably would have called the police after not being able to reach her for two or three days.

There weren't many people at Hetian Airport. A few minutes later, everyone walked up to a white Airbus A320.

They followed the crowd, boarded the plane in turn, and took their seats in business class.

At 10:25 AM, the plane pushed back on time.

Meng Wenzhou had bought direct flight tickets from Hetian to Rongcheng, costing over one thousand eight hundred per person, taking about four hours to arrive.

If they didn't fly direct, the layover time would be quite long, though those tickets would naturally be a bit cheaper.

The plane reached the runway, accelerated rapidly, and then pitched up into the clouds.

At 4:30 PM, the Airbus A320 landed safely at Rongcheng International Airport.

After grabbing a quick bite at the airport, they boarded another plane at 6:10 PM. This time, they were flying to Haicheng, the direction of home.

Two hours later, at 8:10 PM, the plane landed smoothly at Haicheng International Airport.

Having driven thousands of kilometers, flying back in just a few hours left everyone feeling a bit surreal.

However, this feeling quickly dissipated. Meng Wenzhou was the same as always; shortly after getting off the plane, a dedicated chauffeur drove over to pick him up.

"Qianyu, let's go. Time to go home."

Meng Qianyu was relatively well-behaved this time, obediently following Meng Wenzhou into the car.

"Old Su, Pan Pan, Fatty, everyone, we'll be taking off first. Let us know in the group chat once you get home safe."

"Alright, take care on the road. Get some good rest when you get back, and we'll chat on WeChat the day after tomorrow."

"OK. We're off."

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom quickly carried the two away.

Next, Gao Yue and Chu Qiunan said their goodbyes to everyone and left in a taxi.

The rest of the group also hailed their own cabs.

"I'm off, Brother Yang, sister-in-law. See you later!" Liu Bo waved at Su Yang, Pan Ning, and the others before quickly getting into a car.

Ji Bo, Zhang Ziming, Tang Ziyun, Su Qingci, and Zhong Qing also successively took taxis and left.

At this point, only Su Yang and Pan Ning were left.

Su Yang turned to look at Pan Ning. "So? Are you going home or to my place?"

Pan Ning spoke up, "I'll head home first."

"Alright, I'll see you off."

"No need, my dad sent someone to pick me up."

"Oh? Really? How long until they get here?"

"Let me check, about five minutes."

"OK, then I'll see you into your car before I head back."

"Alright."

After waiting at the airport entrance for a few minutes, a black Phantom drove over.

Sure enough, successful people all loved this car.

Without waiting for the driver to get out and open the door, Su Yang walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for Pan Ning himself. After she got in, Su Yang smiled and said, "Let me know when you get home."

"Got it, you too."

"OK, go on."

"I'm leaving." Pan Ning nodded at Su Yang, and then the Phantom quickly drove away.

"Phew." After everyone was gone, Su Yang let out a breath.

Looking at the still bustling airport, Su Yang suddenly felt that same sense of emptiness he had experienced after returning from Lucheng.

He stood by the road, shook his head, smoked a cigarette, and then waved down a taxi.

"Driver, to Jingyutai."

"Alright, buckle up."

Haicheng at night was colorful and magnificent, with various high-rise buildings standing tall, and a continuous stream of traffic on the neon-lit streets.

Su Yang leaned against the window, staring out at the bustling night view. It had been a while since he had sat quietly in a car like this, admiring Haicheng's nightscape.

Previously, he had always been the one driving. Sitting quietly and enjoying the city's night view like this occasionally was quite a unique experience.

Soon, the taxi arrived outside the gates of the Jingyutai villa area. After Su Yang greeted the security guard, the boom barrier at the gate lifted, and the taxi quickly drove in.

Arriving in front of his Villa No. 6, Su Yang smiled at the driver. "We're here, driver. Right here."

"Alright. Boss, this villa of yours is quite grand."

"Haha, it's alright. How much?"

"110."

"Alright," Su Yang said as he scanned the QR code to pay.

Then he opened the door and stepped out. At that moment, a robotic voice prompt sounded inside the car: WeChat Pay received, two hundred yuan.

Hearing this, the driver hastily turned his head and shouted to Su Yang, "Handsome, you paid too much!"

Su Yang waved his hand. "It's not too much, thanks!"

After saying that, he turned and walked toward the villa gate.

"Oh my, too generous! Thank you, handsome!"

"You're welcome." Su Yang waved his hand, opened the gate, and walked into the villa.

Watching Su Yang enter the villa, a happy smile appeared on the driver's wrinkled face.

Then he quickly turned the car around and drove out of the villa area.

Upon entering the home, the courtyard lights automatically turned on. At a glance, Su Yang saw the two cool supercars parked next to the Ferrari F80.

A Bugatti Tourbillon in metallic light blue and dark blue, and a McLaren W1 in yellow and black.

"Damn, that's incredibly cool!" Su Yang's eyes widened as he quickly ran to the front of the two cars to admire them.

He had seen many pictures of the Tourbillon online before, but seeing the real car now felt completely different.

Whether it was the stance or the exterior, he could hardly find a single flaw in this car.

"The real car is definitely cooler. It's practically flawless from 360 degrees!" Su Yang was visibly excited.

He circled the Bugatti Tourbillon once, then walked to the front of the car. Looking at these three world-class supercars before him, the corners of Su Yang's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Eh? I thought the W1 and F80 would look a bit inferior parked next to the Tourbillon, but looking at them like this, they don't lose out at all. They each have their own unique features."

Indeed, the body lines of the W1 were also absolutely perfect. The more he looked, he even felt it looked better than the Tourbillon and the F80.

"Wow, the more I look, the better it gets. Pan's taste is really good. Let me take a picture first."

Su Yang said as he took out his phone, pointed it at the three top-tier supercars, and snapped a group photo with a click.

"Mind-blowing!! Gotta post this on Moments~"

He did exactly as he said. Right now, he didn't care at all about what others would say or think; as long as he was happy, that was all that mattered.

Most importantly, apart from his parents, he hadn't added any other relatives on WeChat, so he wasn't afraid of anyone gossiping behind his back.

He could post whatever he wanted on his Moments.

After drafting a quick caption, Su Yang clicked send.

Once it was posted, he went back to the chat page, found Pan Ning's chat window, and clicked on it.

"I'm home~"

Pan Ning replied instantly: "I just walked through the door too."

"Alright, let me show you a picture." Su Yang smiled and was about to send the picture he just took to Pan Ning.

But he suddenly realized that just sending it like that wouldn't be romantic at all and wouldn't have any element of surprise. Thinking of this, he quickly opened his Moments and deleted the post he had just made.

Pan Ning replied: "What picture?"

"Uh... it's a secret for now."

"A secret?"

"Yeah, let me keep you in suspense for a bit~ Hehe."

"Tch, fine. I won't talk to you for now, I'm going to chat with my parents for a bit."

"Alright, you go ahead."

After exiting the chat, Su Yang sent a message in the main group: @Everyone, I'm home, what about you guys?

No one replied immediately, so Su Yang locked his phone and walked over to the Bugatti.

After taking the car keys out of the system inventory, Su Yang opened the Tourbillon's cool butterfly doors. An exquisite interior that didn't even look like a supercar was instantly revealed before his eyes.

"This interior, this craftsmanship, hiss~ It's absolutely perfect! As expected of Bugatti, they really know what they're doing." Su Yang said as he quickly bent down, got into the car, and started it.

Because this car had an electric motor, it didn't make a sound the moment it was ignited like a traditional internal combustion engine.

However, after Su Yang switched the driving mode.

Vroom!!

In an instant, a furious roar echoed throughout the entire villa.

"Whoa, scared me. Little beast, is this the roar of a V16? That feels amazing, so satisfying."

"Who drives a V8? Real men drive V16s!! Let's take it out for a spin first!"

[Ding, detected that the host is currently in a great mood and thoroughly enjoying himself, rewarding 3 million.]
