December 31, The Last Day of the year, Lin Qi's estate on the outskirts of Bu Peien had become incredibly lively.
"I hope we're not late!" Sergeant had run into a bit of trouble on the way while bringing his wife and two children.
The road, freshly covered in snow, was badly iced over. When he was crossing an intersection, his car failed to brake in time and slid off course.
Anyone who had driven on ice knew perfectly well that once a road froze over, they couldn't simply stomp on the brakes.
If they just drove forward slowly, there might not be any problems. By easing off the accelerator, shifting into neutral, slowing down, and waiting for the car to nearly stop on its own before tapping the brakes twice, they could come to a stop.
But if they braked while the car was still moving too fast, they would lose control, and the vehicle would skid across the ice.
Sergeant's car knocked down a roadside utility pole. Fortunately, the damage wasn't too serious. The family had gotten quite a scare, and by the time they changed cars, they were already nearly twenty minutes later than expected.
Looking at the luxury cars parked outside the estate, Sergeant suddenly felt that today might be his unlucky day.
Only after the family entered the estate under the butler's guidance did they finally let out long sighs of relief.
"You go help out and see what you can do," Sergeant instructed his wife before bringing his two children into the Living Room.
He had originally planned to find Lin Qi and chat, but when he saw Lin Qi surrounded by a group of people, he could only stand at the edge for the time being.
It wasn't that he didn't know the
