After saying goodbye to Zhang Hui and his assistant, he didn't take the VIP passage usually used by celebrities, but went quietly through the staff passage.
Along the way, he occasionally nodded to the TV station staff he encountered, and then descended to the underground parking lot where the lights were slightly dim.
Finding his black Porsche, Cheng Jiashu did not immediately get into the car.
First, he took out a metal device the size of a matchbox from his pocket and carefully scanned around the inside and under the car.
The indicator light on the device stayed green the entire time, without any alarms going off.
After confirming there were no eavesdropping devices or tracking equipment, he opened the car door, sat inside, and started the car.
The engine let out a low growl as the vehicle slowly drove out of the underground parking lot and merged into the bustling nighttime traffic.
East City's night scenery was as prosperous and elusive as ever.
