“How did you find my place?” Finn Lewis was somewhat intrigued by this.

“I… I pleaded with the traffic police for a long time before they gave me your information. I… I haven’t told anyone else.” Xu Shulin’s voice was somewhat shaky. Though he was older than Lewis, dealing with someone like him was still quite stressful.

“Alright, I’ll accept it then. Thank you.” Lewis pondered a bit then took the cloth bag that he handed over. From his expression, it was clear he was sincere.

Upon seeing Lewis accept his gift, a smile immediately spread across Xu Shulin’s face. It was a face weathered by years of hard work, but he opened his mouth happily and said, “Well, I won’t disturb you any further, Mr. Lewis. Goodbye.” Xu Shulin greeted Lewis before turning and heading towards the exit of the community.

Lewis responded with a smile and watched until Xu disappeared from sight. Then his curiosity piqued, he opened the cloth bag in his hand. It wasn’t a large bag, just a small pouch. Inside was something hard, like a wooden box. Lewis opened it curiously.

The pouch contained two wooden boxes, each about the length of an adult’s forearm and as wide as a palm. The boxes were clearly hand-carved. Lewis took out one box and opened it, he was stunned by its contents. It was something he had never expected to see. Inside was a root of ginseng, clearly processed.

“What’s this?” Lewis was surprised.

“It should be wild ginseng, approximately fifty to a hundred years old,” Olivia Thatcher commented.

Lewis quickly opened the other box. Just like the first, it contained a root of wild ginseng, slightly smaller and with some damage. Even so, the two roots of ginseng were estimated to be worth over a million.

Xu Shulin probably knew the worth of the ginseng but chose to use it to thank Lewis. The price, well over a million, was basically enough to cover the cost of the car repair that Lewis had helped with, and even then some. Lewis didn’t know where Xu got this, but it was clearly a token of his gratitude. Xu hadn’t specified what he was giving Lewis.

He had simply left the gift and departed, “Young Master, I’ve already contacted the T1000 who guards the area near our home. He has been waiting here for a week, arriving early every day before dawn and not leaving until around midnight.” Olivia Thatcher’s voice quickly sounded in Lewis’s mind.

Upon hearing Olivia Thatcher’s words, Lewis was truly astounded. After a long while, he sighed and said, “Good deeds do payoff. His family probably isn’t wealthy, but they gave this to us as a simple token of thanks. It just goes to show, being a good person in this world does have its perks.”

Olivia Thatcher didn’t respond to Lewis’s words. Lewis put some thought into it and although the benefit of wild ginseng may not be as evident as that of the Cloud Mist Tea, it still had its uses.

“Thatcher, note down his number and look up his information. But don’t disturb him for now.” Lewis knew that Xu had no expectations of repayment. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given him both the roots of wild ginseng or waited on him for so many days. Lewis knew the significance of the price of two roots of wild ginseng for an average construction worker. Plus, these were over fifty years old. It was clear.

Lewis had not asked for compensation, “Yes, Young Master, I’ve noted it down.” Olivia Thatcher affirmed. Lewis held the two roots of wild ginseng and headed home. It could make a good gift. As for Xu Shulin, Lewis felt that if he ever needed help, he must lend a hand – such good-hearted people were rare.

Putting the matter of Xu Shulin to one side, Lewis had other matters to handle. First, he called Matthew Chan, letting him know that he had returned and that he was ready to negotiate the order for a specialized middle-aged person’s vehicle with the office.

Matthew Chan, who received the call from Lewis, was a bit helpless. Guessing that the person who would keep the office waiting would just be Lewis. However, if the middle-aged associates did not object, neither did Chan. Furthermore, he knew that Lewis had made a name for himself on top. For instance, not long ago during the oil futures issue, Lewis had merely spoken a few words, but it was equivalent to delivering several billions of Federal coins to the country via the banks!

“That’s enough. I will make it happen! Rest assured, I will absolutely present you with the most advanced car!” Lewis responded confidently.

Lewis not only showcased the car to these people but also uploaded the car’s parameters and real-life test video online!

Another new car crash test video grabbed people’s attention! In this video, Lewis had a little fun pitting a car ready for sale from the Xuanyuan Sword series against cars from various brands worldwide. Whether it was a high-end luxury vehicle or a typical commoner’s car.

The simplest test, was a direct collision at a speed of 280 km/h. The video showed the car terrifyingly smashing into one car after another, reducing the other cars to heaps of wreckage, all while remaining unscathed except for a few scratches on the paintwork. Lewis had painted the car on the outside to enhance the reality, making it appear even more realistic, right?

Even so, many people watched in open-mouthed shock, calling out in disbelief. How much force was the car body subjected to at that speed? One look at the wreckage of the other cars from the collision gives you an idea. Even the most powerful luxury car would meet the same end at an opposite travelling speed threshold of 140 km/h.

Yet this Xuanyuan Sword car could remain completely unscathed. The promotional video also showed the weapon-proof test of the car, the test of the car’s intelligent control system, the internal balance system of the car body, as well as its maximum range reaching up to 1200 kilometers. All of it completely outperformed any other car in the world.
