He then flagged down a passing taxi.

"Let's go to the Yiwangxi Hotel!"

"Okay!"

The driver responded and immediately took Jiang Zhenghua to the Yiwangxi Hotel.

"Wait here, I'll go in and get something and come right back. I'll give you double the travel expenses later."

As he got off the bus, Jiang Zhenghua said magnanimously.

Upon hearing this, the driver nodded repeatedly, "Okay, boss, please go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

"Yes, you're very sensible!"

Jiang Zhenghua nodded in satisfaction, just like a superior praising a subordinate.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his former self, a great figure who looked down on the world and disdained all others, his words and actions revealing the majesty that only high-ranking figures possess.

It has to be said that even if it was just a bluff, because of his usual habits, he had a very convincing demeanor, which completely fooled the driver.

"Wait here."

After saying this to the driver, Jiang Zhenghua put his hands behind his back and strode into the hotel.

If it weren't for Zhang Lei's blow, he would have forgotten that although he has nothing now, his previous connections are still there.

If used properly, there might still be a chance to turn things around.

He soon arrived at the hotel lobby.

"President Jiang, welcome!"

The receptionist recognized Jiang Zhenghua and immediately greeted him warmly.

This is exactly the effect Jiang Zhenghua wanted.

"I'm here to see Ms. Wu Yanping."

Jiang Zhenghua got straight to the point.

Although Huang Bo was the one who ruined him so badly, he was introduced to him by Wu Yanping.

Now that he's fallen to this state, Wu Yanping should at least give him an explanation, right?

Even if Wu Yanping is innocent and has nothing to do with this, at least it can help him find Huang Bo, this big liar.

"Miss Wu Yanping?"

The receptionist's expression stiffened slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhenghua instantly realized the situation was bad and pressed, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say."

"Ms. Wu Yanping checked out and left yesterday. Mr. Jiang, you are the sponsor of her performance in Linjiang City. Didn't you know that?"

"What? They checked out and left too?"

Jiang Zhenghua staggered for a moment and almost fell to the ground.

"Mr. Jiang, are you alright?"

The waiter inquired with concern.

"It's none of your business!"

Jiang Zhenghua, enraged for some unknown reason, shoved the waiter's hand away and stumbled out.

Wu Yanping also checked out.

Is it just a coincidence, or is there some secret hidden within that he doesn't know about?

"No, this can't be real, it's definitely just a coincidence!"

Rushing out of the hotel, Jiang Zhenghua muttered to himself like a madman, "If Huang Bo lied to me, then surely Yao Xishui wouldn't lie to me, right?"

"She's a top lawyer at the firm!"

He then got into the taxi that was still waiting for him outside the hotel.

"Get to the law firm right now, quick!"

Jiang Zhenghua continued to speak to the driver in a commanding tone.

The more impolite he was, the less the driver dared to say anything.

After a series of twists and turns, Jiang Zhenghua arrived at the law firm's entrance half an hour later.

"Thank you for the tip, boss!"

Before Jiang Zhenghua even got out of the car, the driver said this in a fawning tone.

What's your rush?

Jiang Zhenghua curled his lip in disdain. "I don't have any cash on me, but my secretary is inside. I'll go in now and have her get it for you."

The driver frowned slightly.

Jiang Zhenghua then said, "My name is Jiang Zhenghua. You should have heard of me, right?"

"Jiang Zhenghua?"

The driver was slightly taken aback at first, then seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "You're one of the richest people in Linjiang City?"

"Looks like you've got some knowledge, kid!"

Jiang Zhenghua was very satisfied with the driver's reaction, immediately got out of the car, and strode towards the entrance of the law firm.

This time, the driver finally didn't dare ask for money again.

Jiang Zhenghua!

How could one of the well-known wealthy people in Linjiang City not be able to afford such a small fare?

So he waited patiently outside, fantasizing that Jiang Zhenghua's secretary would give him a large tip in addition to the fare.

Or, because of his good performance, Jiang Zhenghua might have his secretary hire him directly as a private driver.

The more he fantasized, the brighter his smile became.

...

Inside the law firm.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, welcome!"

Jiang Zhenghua's status in Linjiang City was almost indistinguishable from that of a celebrity.

As soon as he entered the lobby, the receptionist, Xiao Yin, greeted him warmly, "Which lawyer is Mr. Jiang looking for?"

"Yao Xishui!"

Jiang Zhenghua waved his hand dismissively, "Bring her out, I need to see her!"

"Uh... this..."

Xiao Yin smiled awkwardly, his expression gradually turning serious. "President Jiang, Attorney Yao is very busy and doesn't have time to meet with anyone. If you want to see him, please make an appointment in advance. I can register you right now."

"Do you know who I am?" Jiang Zhenghua roared.

But before Xiao Yin could answer, he himself froze.

Xiao Yin has been calling him "President Jiang" repeatedly, so how could she not know who he is?

It seems I've lost my mind in anger!

After trying to calm himself down, he forced a stiff smile and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "I have something extremely urgent to discuss with Attorney Yao."

"Then... I'll go ask for you."

Xiao Yin really couldn't refuse, so she could only say this.
