Lin Fan drove the Rolls-Royce, carrying Wu Lei, to Xingye District. As the car approached the gate, he noticed the old security guard's bewildered expression.

The old security guard had worked at this community for over ten years and had never seen such a luxurious car before. Was it a mistake?

Wu Lei poked his head out from the passenger seat and said, "Grandpa, can you open the gate, please?"

The old security guard recognized Wu Lei and was even more surprised. Wasn't this Teacher Wu's son? Teacher Wu's family wasn't particularly wealthy.

Lately, if any family in the community was experiencing a windfall, it was definitely the Li family. Rumor had it that Old Li's son started playing football, and just yesterday, Old Li's wife drove back in a BMW that nearly dazzled his eyes.

To think now a Rolls-Royce was here, immediately overshadowing the Li family's BMW.

As the Rolls-Royce drove into the community, the old security guard murmured, "Could it be that this old community is finally having a stroke of luck?"

"Which building is your home?" Lin Fan turned his head and asked Wu Lei in the passenger seat. Wu Lei had asked him to come over to help persuade his parents to let him play football, and Lin Fan agreed.

Wu Lei pointed the way, "Turn right, it's two buildings ahead."

Before they reached Wu Lei's building, Wu Lei's sharp eyes spotted a pair of middle-aged couple in the parking lot. Excitedly, he said, "Mr. Lin, my parents are right there. Dad, Mom!"

Lin Fan then drove the car over.

Seeing that his parents hadn't noticed him, Wu Lei simply leaned out and waved to them.

Soon after, Lin Fan parked the car, and the two got out.

"Leilei, where did you go, and who is this?" The woman curiously scrutinized Lin Fan. This young man was so handsome and driving a Rolls-Royce; he must be very wealthy. When did her son meet such a rich person?

Lin Fan voluntarily said, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie, I am Lin Fan, the owner of Yun City Football Club."

Yun City Football Club!

Upon hearing this name, the woman seemed electrified. Didn't Little Yi's mother just say that her son was playing in the Yun City Team!

Wow, this is the owner of the Yun City Team standing right before them!

Lin Fan noticed the woman's reaction and felt a bit puzzled. What kind of reaction was this?

Lin Fan said, "Uncle and Auntie, I'm here to discuss inviting Wu Lei to play for our Yun City Team. Uncle and Auntie, please don't be mad. I know you've always been against it, but I just…"

"I agree!"

The woman blurted out, interrupting Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was stunned. Did he hear correctly? It seemed like he did—she agreed so readily?

What was going on? Wasn't this couple always strongly opposed to their son playing football?

Wu Lei was also stunned. What was wrong with mom today?

Realizing her abruptness, the woman quickly forced a chuckle: "Sorry, Mr. Lin, I haven't invited you in. Mr. Lin, please come in!"

She tried her best to contain her inner excitement, warmly inviting Lin Fan upstairs.

She couldn't help it. Seeing Lin Fan driving a Rolls-Royce and hearing he was the owner of the Yun City Team, who had come to invite her son to play, she was almost overwhelmed.

She had just been envious of Little Yi's mother, and now such good fortune had quickly struck her family.

She tugged at her still-charging husband, saying, "Stop fussing around, quickly go home and entertain Mr. Lin!"

Thus, Lin Fan was enthusiastically ushered into the Wu family, where the woman prepared tea and served water with great eagerness, leaving Lin Fan somewhat bewildered.

Was this really the mom who had always opposed her son playing football? Last time, she nearly chased Wu Da away with a broom?

"Ahem," Lin Fan cleared his throat and said, "Uncle and Auntie, is there any objection to Wu Lei joining our Yun City Team?"

The woman decisively shook her head and chuckled, "No objection, we're honored that Mr. Lin sees potential in my son, I'm thrilled. I know my son loves playing football; as parents, we've always supported our son's aspirations."

Lin Fan: "Ah... that's great, Uncle and Auntie are really open-minded."

Beside Wu Lei, who wore a confused expression looking at his mom, was this really his mom?

The woman eagerly asked, "Mr. Lin, when can my son join the Yun City Team?"

She seemed more anxious than Lin Fan. Lin Fan smiled and said, "No rush, I know Wu Lei is still in his senior year of high school and preparing for university. To avoid disrupting his studies, I plan for him to focus on academics for now, while occasionally training with the team. Once he's in university, we can consider him taking the field. Auntie, what do you think?"

The woman paused, feeling a bit uneasy inside, and asked, "Mr. Lin, does the training cost money?"

In the past, people from Youth Training Camp had found her, saying they could recruit her son and develop him into a professional player, but they all charged fees.

Lin Fan replied, "No fees, we'll even provide subsidies..."

The woman was delighted, "How does the subsidy work exactly? I see Little Yi's mom..."

Realizing she seemed to lose her composure again, she quickly restrained herself.

Lin Fan had already heard it, curiously asking, "Who is Little Yi's mom?"

Wu Lei said, "She's Li Yi's mom. Brother Yi lives in the same community as us; we used to often play football together."

Lin Fan nodded, understanding that Li Yi also lived in this community. Although Wu Lei's mom hadn't finished her sentence, Lin Fan seemed to grasp why she had changed her attitude.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "At the beginning of training, the subsidies won't be much. Once he starts playing officially, he'll receive regular pay, along with bonuses based on his performance in matches. How about this, Auntie, you can visit the club tomorrow, and we'll provide you with a detailed contract. Once both parties have negotiated, we'll sign the contract."

The woman gladly said, "Sure, we'll come over tomorrow."

Lin Fan stood up: "Then I won't disturb you any longer."

The man politely said, "Mr. Lin, why not stay for a meal? It's almost mealtime."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "No, I still have other things to attend to, but there'll be plenty of opportunities in the future."

The woman smiled and said, "Indeed, once Leilei joins the Yun City Team, there will be many opportunities."

Subsequently, the woman warmly escorted Lin Fan downstairs until she saw him leave in his car.

Once Lin Fan left, the woman turned and glared at her husband, "What were you thinking, inviting Mr. Lin for a meal? Do you know who he is? A godly rich person, and you think he would enjoy our simple meals?"

She then displayed a smile and embraced Wu Lei, "Once my son earns big money in the future, we'll host a proper meal for Mr. Lin! Son, you better be ambitious, understand? Don't lose to Li Yi! Li Yi's mom drives a BMW now and wants to buy a new house!"

Wu Lei paused, feeling a bit amused yet understanding why his mom suddenly changed her attitude.

As Lin Fan drove the Rolls-Royce away from Xingye District, intending to return to the Company.

Suddenly, Lin Fan received a call—it was from Loli.

Lin Fan answered.

"Lin Fan, do you recognize my voice? Your girlfriend is with me. If you don't want anything to happen to her, do as I say and come meet me." The female voice on the other end wasn't Loli's.

Lin Fan had already recognized it; it was the Masked Woman's voice!

Lin Fan had long anticipated her contacting him, calmly saying, "Go ahead."
