Two weeks later, inside a car in the community's outdoor parking lot.
"Boss, this is all the intelligence about Obadiah Stane collected by the intelligence team."
Xiao Liu handed a stack of organized documents to Li Chuan, who was sitting in the back.
Li Chuan took the documents and quickly scanned them. They contained very detailed information, including Obadiah Stane's birth, age, general life experience, address, and daily routine.
"Very good, it seems we can act tonight!"
The new company's situation had largely stabilized, and Jack would continue to be responsible for its future development, allowing Li Chuan to return to a more relaxed state.
He decided to complete this side mission as soon as possible during this period of leisure, so he could return to the Small World for cultivation sooner.
After memorizing all of Obadiah Stane's information, Li Chuan got out of the car and walked towards Building 8, where he lived.
On the way, he would kindly greet other residents of the community.
Although he had appeared in some news and newspapers due to the new company's product launch, most ordinary people still didn't recognize him.
The gap between him and Tony Stark was like the difference between a decent pharmaceutical company owner and a well-known CEO Ma in his previous life.
When CEO Ma walked on the street, most people would recognize him instantly; his fame and recognition were no less than that of the most popular celebrities in the country, perhaps even greater.
However, if it were a decent pharmaceutical company owner, even if his products were famous, unless one was in a related industry or paid special attention, ordinary people wouldn't recognize him at all.
It was like most people didn't know who the chairmen of popular and common medicines like '666 Cold Medicine,' 'Fen Bide,' or 'Tou Bao' were, what they looked like, or how old they were.
So, when Li Chuan walked on the street now, it was unlikely that someone would suddenly point at him and exclaim, "Oh, isn't that the CEO of so-and-so group?"
The residents of the community only knew that a newlywed couple had moved in; the husband was handsome, the wife was beautiful, and both were very friendly people.
"Darling, come and try this. I learned this chocolate chip cookie recipe from Mrs. Martha next door."
Seeing Li Chuan return, Wanda immediately took out the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies from the oven and presented them to Li Chuan as if offering a treasure.
Li Chuan picked one up, chewed it a couple of times, and his eyes lit up.
"It's delicious, much better than the boxed ones you buy!"
This time, he wasn't just comforting Wanda; the taste was indeed excellent. He noticed that while Wanda's cooking talent was average, her talent for making desserts was exceptional.
When she first started learning a few days ago, her attempts were quite ordinary, but recently, after befriending Mrs. Martha, her neighbor, she seemed to have learned many useful techniques, and the desserts she made were getting better and better.
"Of course! I bought the best butter and chocolate from the supermarket, then followed Mrs. Martha's secret recipe and tried several times until I achieved this most satisfying result."
Wanda lifted her chin proudly upon hearing Li Chuan's praise.
Actually, before making the perfect chocolate chip cookie, she had failed several times; either it was a complete failure or it didn't reach the level of Mrs. Martha's.
Of course, she didn't waste those failed attempts; she either gave them to her brother, Pietro, who lived next door, or to other residents in the community.
This was why, in just two weeks, many residents in the community had gotten to know Wanda and Li Chuan and thought they were very nice people.
Who wouldn't like neighbors who loved to give you free desserts?
"Wanda, aren't you eating?"
Li Chuan popped the chocolate chip cookies into his mouth one by one, but noticed Wanda was just watching him, chin propped on her hand, without eating any herself.
"I'm on a diet, I can't eat sweets lately."
Wanda smiled and shook her head.
Li Chuan looked at the chocolate chip cookies in his hand and sighed inwardly, thinking it was good that with his body, this amount of energy was nothing.
He finally understood why many men gained weight after getting married.
But it was fine; isn't life like this? Having a haven where one can rest anytime allows one to strive better outside.
"Oh, right, darling, there's something I want to discuss with you."
After Li Chuan finished the cookies, Wanda's tone suddenly became a little hesitant.
"What is it? Tell me."
Li Chuan smiled and took Wanda's hands when he saw her expression.
Wanda hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke:
"Today, when Mrs. Martha was teaching me how to make desserts, she invited me to join their rescue station. It's about using free time to help orphans and homeless people together."
Mainly, Mrs. Martha's recounting of her work experience touched her heart, reminding her of the difficult life she and her brother had in the orphanage after their parents passed away.
"If you think it's good, then agree to it."
Li Chuan nodded.
"But I know you don't seem to like me working outside."
A hint of worry appeared on Wanda's face.
Li Chuan stroked Wanda's head:
"I just think we're not short on money at home, and working would be too tiring for you."
Despite being fierce towards enemies, he was not inherently a controlling person, especially towards true family and friends. His reluctance for Wanda to work was only due to concerns about the hardship and safety of work.
However, the rescue station work was fine, as it involved voluntary assistance with no specific working hours; one could go when free and not go when busy.
It was also a good thing for Wanda to meet some kind friends.
Hearing Li Chuan agree to her participating in the rescue station work, Wanda happily kissed Li Chuan and ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
After dinner, Li Chuan used the excuse of urgent company matters to temporarily leave home.
At 11 PM, outside a detached, ultra-luxurious Villa in Manhattan, Li Chuan looked at the ten-meter-high wall and chuckled:
"This Obadiah Stane is really cautious!"
A normal outer wall of three or four meters would suffice, but Obadiah's Villa wall was clearly specially heightened later. It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to get in.
However, this was no problem for Li Chuan at all.
He simply attached Chakra to the soles of his feet and effortlessly walked up the high wall.
Although he hadn't been able to practice Ninjutsu during this time, he had never stopped practicing the precise control of Chakra.
To learn the A-rank Healing Palm Technique more easily later, he would use the ornamental fish in the office fish tank for Chakra control practice whenever he had free time during these two weeks.
