The sun was setting in the west and dusk was descending, at the parking lot beneath the Dong hai Branch of the Hong Ding Club, located along the Huangpu River, teeming with sedans including luxury cars worth millions and mid-range sedans worth a couple hundred thousand with special license plates and permits.
When the last ray of the sunset completely disappeared behind the horizon, a Hongqi H7 bearing Dong hai City government license plates arrived at the parking lot and parked in the reserved spot right at the center.
The car came to a stop and Bai Luo, dressed in a dark blue suit, stepped out with his briefcase under the watchful, reverent gaze of the security guards and headed towards the Hong Ding Club's Dong hai Branch, a venue every socialite in the southern half of the country dreamed of entering.
