An hour later, at ten o'clock at night.
Lin Shuang arrived in Jinling City.
Jinling City is the capital of Su Province, known as the "Central Hub of Academia."
It's revered as a city of ancient fame, the birthplace of Confucius, the founder of the Confucian school during the Spring and Autumn period.
It had also been the imperial capital for dynasties over thousands of years, a crucial military stronghold.
A taxi stopped at the entrance of the courtyard of Jinling City.
Lin Shuang opened the door, got out, and handed the driver a thick stack of bills.
"No need for change," he said indifferently.
The excited driver accepted the money, "Yo! Thanks, boss!"
The driver had picked up this customer from a road beside Tai Lake, who then took the taxi directly to Jinling, a hundred kilometers away.
The fare was roughly 2000 yuan. But Lin Shuang had handed the driver twenty thousand in cash. What a windfall!
