"This... this can't be possible. How can he seem like such a wealthy person? That's right, the car must be rented. No, I have to call Yu Qing and ask."
While speaking, Liu Wan hastily took out her phone to call Lin Yuqing. A minute later, the busy tone beeped, leaving Liu Wan totally stupefied.
Her mind buzzed, filled with such intense regret that it seemed to seep into her bones, replaying Lin Yuqing's words over and over.
"Xiao Wan, do you know how much effort I spent? I told you before that he was no ordinary person, but you wouldn't listen. His dad is indeed a civil servant, but think about it, what's the last name of our city's secretary? I think you'll understand then."
After hanging up the call, Liu Wan instantly remembered the middle-aged man who often appeared on television—that was a real big shot, a veritable lord of his realm.
