The good mood lasted until Bai Jing reached near his home. This was also true during his past life.

They found a number of people guarding the main entrance to the gated community where he lived. Although this was a good thing, what Bai Jing hadn't anticipated was how he would be made to lose face after being stopped at the gate and barred from entering the community.

"Halt, let me check your documents, no unknown vehicles are allowed to enter this area." A young man in military uniform spoke as he stepped forward. He seemed inexperienced, along with the fact that the epaulets on his shoulder had only one bar, which meant he was probably a fresh recruit to the army.

Bai Jing frowned. But since he didn't want to make things difficult, he willingly brought out his house card from inside his pocket – which he had in fact removed from within his dimension.

The young soldier looked at the card contemptuously before saying: "I'll ask you to leave this place immediately. The third house on Block B has been requisitioned by the military after an investigation found that the house was unoccupied..."

"What did you say?" Bai Jing's face darkened as he listened to these words. He slammed the car door open before stepping out and rushing towards his house. The young soldier tried to stop him, but Bai Jing quickly kicked him aside. At that moment, all that Bai Jing could think about was the overflowing rage in his heart: "Who dares to take my personal property"

Bai Jing's kick was so fierce that the young soldier was thrown hard onto the ground. Upon seeing this, his fellow soldiers rushed to his aid, some lifting him and holding him up by his arms, while others quickly spoke into walkie-talkies: "There's someone making trouble at the entrance to Block B, we need back-up."

Bai Jing's facial expression was quite unsightly and he felt like he was being choked but the raging fire in his chest. If he had been alone, all this fuss would not have been a big deal, and at worst he would have held them accountable and made them pay after the event. However, currently he was with Xiao Sa and his subordinates, so this whole situation left him feeling very embarrassed. He quickly reached the front door to his house and was surprised to find that there was a group of soldiers standing guard at the entrance.

"What's going on?" soon after, a solemn voice was heard right before the back-up arrived, among them was a security guard for the gated community. When the guard saw Bai Jing he immediately smiled stiffly at him. Seeing that the captain of the troops stationed here wasn't speaking, the security guard hurriedly greeted Bai Jing, his smiling face far uglier than that of someone crying: "Jing...young master Jing...."

Bai Jing's face remained wooden. His cold eyes flashed with a fierce glint as he gazed at the group of people before him, then without saying a word, he went back into the car and ordered: "Open the gate!"

"Oh, yes–" seeing that the captain still intended on questioning Bai Jing, the security guard only shook his head as he quickly rushed to the security room from there he opened the gate. He heaved a sigh of relief as he watched several cars pass through, before hurriedly telling the captain: "Hurry to up and inform the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee that its young master Jing who has returned and not some good for nothing scum."

"Who is this young master Jing?" Although the captain still had his doubts, he dared not ignore the manner in which the security guard was behaving. After all, he was well aware that the people living in this gated community were all of a high social status, otherwise, why would the military send a bunch of troops to come and safeguard this place. Just thinking about the family that had just caused this disturbance left him with an inexplicably ominous feeling in his heart.

Even before he had arrived at the door to his home, Bai Jing heard the sound of a fierce argument coming from inside the house. Among the voices he heard, the loudest was that of an old woman. He also found that the group of soldiers had not left but were still standing guard outside his door.
