The driver, Old King, drove Feng Xiuye down the mountain and back onto the expressway to the city. Then they headed to a high-end residential area and entered a building after parking the car.
Next to a yoga studio was a consultancy company. Its glass entrance was adorned with a collection of certificates and awards, as well as pictures taken with local prominent businesspeople and celebrities, making it appear quite prestigious.
Feng Xiuye recognized several people in those photos, including Mr. Gao, a real estate tycoon who had introduced him to Taoist Master Niu.
"Good day, gentlemen. How may I assist you?" asked a well-dressed, handsome young man in a robe with a distinct contemporary design.
Old King responded, "Our boss wishes to consult with the 'Taoist Master'."
