"Your Excellency, the Jianghu... we cannot accept such requests."
"Not taking the call? Not enough money?"
"No, they said they can't afford to offend the Hou family."
Jiang Wenye is also in his forties this year. He has a few strands of gray hair at his temples and looks kind and approachable. His round face doesn't have many wrinkles, just like the kindest uncle in the neighborhood.
