Macro City Garden, a villa district for the wealthy, could be described as a place where "only the rich and noble reside."
Wan Yunting drove his multi-million dollar supercar slowly towards the garden's entrance. The security guards quickly opened the gate for the sports car to enter. Lin Gaofeng provided directions, and soon they arrived at the entrance of a villa garden spanning several thousand square meters.
The butler promptly opened the automatic iron gate of the villa courtyard, and the sports car slowly drove in, parking in a designated spot. Beside it, other parking spaces were filled with various luxury cars, all costing five million or more.
Wan Yunting and Lin Gaofeng alighted from the car. The butler, dressed in a suit, politely approached them. "You must be Doctor Wan."
"Hello," Wan Yunting replied politely.
The butler smiled. "The old madam has been waiting in the living room for a long time. Doctor Wan, please follow me."
Wan Yunting nodded, and he and Lin Gaofeng followed the butler through the courtyard garden. From a distance, they saw a small pavilion in the east where an old woman, dressed in a dark red outfit with a kind face, was none other than Kang Hongwen's mother.
"Little Wan, I've finally been waiting for you."
Upon seeing Wan Yunting, the old lady's face lit up with a smile, and she rose to greet him.
"No, Old Madam, please sit down quickly."
Wan Yunting bowed slightly. As he was the younger one, he couldn't accept the elder standing up for him. He quickly helped her to sit.
This scene caused Lin Gaofeng to look at Wan Yunting with admiration.
"Little Wan, you can call me Grandma. Don't be so formal with me."
The old lady also pulled Wan Yunting down to sit, her demeanor extremely warm and familiar, as if she were seeing her grandson.
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, saying, "Then let me check your pulse first and see how your recovery is going."
"Good, good..."
With that, the old lady extended her wrist. Wan Yunting placed three fingers on her pulse, carefully examining her. He then asked her to stick out her tongue. Afterward, he smiled and said, "Grandma, your body has recovered well. There are no major issues. Just eat lighter meals from now on."
"Good, good. I'll listen to you," the old lady replied, smiling happily.
Wan Yunting then asked, "Where are President Kang and Madam Zhou?"
"President Kang is still at the company and will be back shortly. Madam Zhou is away on a business trip," Lin Gaofeng replied.
The old lady asked the butler when lunch would be served. The butler said, "Old Madam, the banquet will be ready in forty minutes."
To entertain Wan Yunting, Kang Hongwen had invited the most skilled Chinese chefs in the city to cook at his home. They were currently busy in the kitchen.
"Little Lin, you take Little Wan to have a look around the back, and by the way, call Nolan back for lunch."
The old lady knew that young people didn't like chatting with old ladies like her. She asked Lin Gaofeng to take Wan Yunting to the garden and the gymnasium in the back. Her granddaughter, Kang Nolan, was in the gymnasium.
"Alright."
Lin Gaofeng nodded, and Wan Yunting also stood up. The two of them strolled leisurely through the luxurious villa garden of the wealthiest man, seeing everything from Chinese-style artificial rockeries and pavilions.
Through the back garden corridor, they saw a glass-structured gymnasium, entirely made of glass and steel. Inside, several figures dressed in white training uniforms were clearly visible, seemingly practicing Taekwondo!
"Doctor Wan, the eldest daughter and her classmates are practicing Taekwondo inside. Shall we go in and take a look?" Lin Gaofeng said with a smile.
Wan Yunting nodded. Since he was bored anyway, there was no harm in going to see.
Hah!
Pa!
A spinning back kick split a five-centimeter wooden board in two. Immediately, several onlookers applauded. "Great! Nolan's back kick is excellent! Not only is the power strong, but the accuracy is also sufficient. We're sure to win the exchange competition with South Korea in Taekwondo this time."
The speaker was a handsome young man in his early twenties, wearing a white Taekwondo uniform with a green and blue belt around his waist, signifying he was a fifth-level Taekwondo master.
It was important to note that Taekwondo, standardized by South Korea, was divided into ten levels.
From the tenth level, white belt, to the strongest black belt, with various colored sashes indicating different ranks, the green and blue belt represented the fifth level.
Being a fifth-level master at such a young age indicated his considerable talent in Taekwondo.
The girl who kicked the wooden board was also in her early twenties, with long, dark hair tied into a neat ponytail. She possessed a stunning beauty, with heroic yet elegant eyebrows that exuded a hint of determination.
Especially her beautiful eyes, sharp and spirited. When she kicked the wooden board, she was like a female leopard intently staring at its prey, full of ferocity.
Coupled with her height of 1.7 meters and perfect figure, her fair, long legs were shapely even in her white training uniform. She also wore a green and blue sash of the fifth level around her waist.
She was none other than Kang Hongwen's daughter, Kang Nolan!
"Senior Brother Ye is right. We will definitely win against the South Korean exchange students this time."
A sweet-faced, petite girl stepped forward. Her name was Yang Siyu, Kang Nolan's close friend. Around her waist, she wore a yellow belt, representing the eighth level of Taekwondo.
The other three boys and two girls were all at the seventh level, with yellow-green belts. Only the young man named Ye Zhengyang and Kang Nolan were at the fifth level.
In two weeks, they would represent Huadu University in an exchange competition at Seoul University in South Korea!
Kang Nolan and Ye Zhengyang were elite athletes selected for their university's Taekwondo team, which was why they had been diligently practicing together during this period.
Even though it was Saturday today, they had been invited by Kang Nolan to practice in the home gymnasium. The purpose was to participate in the exchange competition at Seoul University in South Korea, to achieve a good ranking, and bring honor to the school.
Wan Yunting and Lin Gaofeng, who had quietly walked in, looked at Kang Nolan, Ye Zhengyang, and the other university students practicing. Wan Yunting smiled and said, "President Kang's daughter is unlike other young ladies who like designer bags and clothes. She is a genuine martial arts enthusiast!"
"Oh."
Wan Yunting looked at Kang Nolan with surprise. He had to admit that this girl was very beautiful, not at all inferior to Fang Yanxi and Ling Wei.
"She's loved Taekwondo since she was little and is now a fifth-level master," Lin Gaofeng said with a smile.
Wan Yunting nodded. Having just witnessed Kang Nolan kick the wooden board, he smiled and said, "Indeed, she's good, but her power is a bit lacking!"
Although his voice was not loud, the gymnasium had an echo. Ye Zhengyang, who was nearby, heard it. His eyebrows furrowed, and he turned to glance at Wan Yunting. "If you don't understand Taekwondo, don't talk nonsense here and disturb Nolan's practice!"
Kang Nolan and Yang Siyu turned around and noticed Wan Yunting and Lin Gaofeng standing at the doorway. Seeing that they were strangers.
This displeased Kang Nolan. With a cold expression, she said, "Brother Feng, didn't I tell you before not to come in and disturb me while I'm practicing!"
"Eldest Miss, actually he..."
"Your power is indeed a bit lacking!" Wan Yunting interrupted Lin Gaofeng, speaking to them with a smile.
Seeing that he still dared to retort, Kang Nolan was even more displeased. Ye Zhengyang smirked, "So, you're saying you've also practiced Taekwondo?"
Wan Yunting shook his head. "I haven't practiced, but I know a first-level red-black belt master!"
"First-level red-black belt..."
Yang Siyu and the others exclaimed. Ye Zhengyang sneered, "You're boasting without shame. In the entire Huadu, the only one who has reached first-level red-black belt is Zhu Xiangwen! You know him?"
"Old Zhu!"
Wan Yunting chuckled lightly. He couldn't help but recall Zhu Xiangwen, who had been sentenced to eight months in prison two years ago for injuring someone. While in prison, Zhu Xiangwen pestered him daily to learn internal martial arts.
"It's been a while since I've seen that guy. Ah well, best not to let him know I'm out, or he'll be bothering me every day," Wan Yunting muttered to himself, shaking his head with a smile.
This made Ye Zhengyang and Yang Siyu look at each other speechlessly. Kang Nolan's delicate eyebrows furrowed. Her almond eyes, like those of a hunting eagle, fixed on Wan Yunting. Suddenly, she lunged forward and delivered a straight kick towards Wan Yunting's forehead, startling Lin Gaofeng beside him...
But in the next second, Wan Yunting's head darted to the left, perfectly evading Kang Nolan's incoming right foot. Her fair ankle and toes had calluses, the kind that appear from frequent kicking and striking.
It seemed this girl was indeed a martial arts fanatic!
