“I’ll say it again, I came by train, I didn’t bring a driver. I came to the city with only a team of guards and two maids. When have I ever had a driver?”
Before Xu Keke could even speak, Madam Li had already started shouting.
"Don't rush," Du Bingtian gestured to Madam Du to stop speaking for now. "It's like this, Baochang Foreign Firm, is it your business? Manager Li of the firm is a relative of yours. He told me that the Li family has several official positions in Nanjing, and if I pay the money, they can help me grease the wheels. Well, what he actually meant wasn't 'grease the wheels'."
Du Bingtian seemed to have gone all in, saying, "He said he would help me buy a job in Nanjing."
“As I just said, Baochang Trading Company is my business, and the Manager Li you mentioned is indeed a distant relative of our family. But the reason I came here was to get rid of him. However, he got wind of it beforehand and ran away with the money. I'm still looking for him. If you gave him the money, then you just wait, both the Li family and the Chen family are looking for him.”

Madam Li frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at them. "That woman nodded to me, and I thought she came with you. So I smiled at her."
Xu Keke continued, "Later, when they reached the door, they handed the suitcases they were carrying to the man in the white uniform who was standing there. When you two left, that man followed you."
Mrs. Li rubbed her forehead. "My goodness, I thought that man was one of your servants. He opened the door for us, followed us out, and even opened the car door for us. My cousin and I even said that your servants were very well-mannered. I didn't know that person at all."
