Lin Feng had given the ancient prescription to the R&D department and had taken up the role of an absentee manager. On Sunday afternoon, he hailed a ride-hailing service and set out early for the auction.
The auction was held in the outskirts, at Tanxi Town, a historical town with a thousand years of history, nestled amidst mountains and water. He had heard that recently there were plans to expand, euphemistically referred to as development.
Lin Feng disapproved of the reckless expansion of the thousand-year-old town, believing that its original appearance constituted the most beautiful scenery. However, as an insignificant citizen of Xingdu, he had little influence over the operations of capital.
As they approached the town, the car gradually slowed down and eventually came to a standstill in traffic, with the sounds of argument coming from ahead.
"You will receive your retribution, you will receive your retribution..." an old man repeated incessantly.
