156: Chapter 156 Lin Wanyu: This person is 29 years old and unmarried

Just as Hu Yifei was vividly describing the luxurious interior of that "volkswagen passat," Lin Wanyu gave a strange cough with a peculiar expression: "Feifei, if what you said is correct, that car is not a volkswagen passat."

"Huh? Not a volkswagen passat?" Hu Yifei was stunned. "It had such a big Volkswagen logo; it definitely wasn't a Santana, let alone a Jetta or a Golf. It looked just like a volkswagen passat."

"Did you notice if there were any letters under the Volkswagen logo?" Lin Wanyu asked with a grin.

Hu Yifei thought for a moment: "I think there were... I didn't look closely."

"Don't fear Mercedes and Land Rover, just fear when the Volkswagen has letters," Lin Wanyu laughed. "That was a Volkswagen Phaeton, which costs nearly ten times as much as a volkswagen passat—a masterpiece of understated luxury."

"Huh?" Hu Yifei's almond-shaped eyes widened. "That car looked just like a volkswagen passat, and it's actually that expensive?"

Lin Wanyu nodded: "Feifei, when you sat in that car, didn't it feel like walking into a quiet wooden study? The soft leather, the restrained solid wood—all the refinement is hidden in its bones. It's not flashy, yet every inch exudes comfort and sophistication."

Hu Yifei took a breath, recalling the look inside the car, and nodded slowly: "You're right. And I was wondering at the time, this volkswagen passat was way too spacious inside. So it wasn't a volkswagen passat! No wonder the handsome guy's expression was a bit strange when I said, 'This volkswagen passat's interior has been modified.'"

"Hahahaha!" Lü Ziqiao burst into laughter. "Yifei, he must have thought you were a bumpkin at the time!"

Hu Yifei made a bitter face: "It's over! Such a handsome guy, and I actually left him with that kind of impression."

Lin Wanyu pursed her lips: "Feifei, I'm not trying to bring you down. Just think about it, a handsome guy driving a Phaeton must be low-key and restrained. He can afford such an expensive car, which means he's quite wealthy. Maybe his Family is in a big business."

"A second-generation rich kid?"

Lin Wanyu shook her head: "That car is considered too low-key even by my daddy, let alone for young people. The person you met is likely not just an ordinary second-generation rich kid, but a hidden tycoon."

"Huh?" Hu Yifei's eyes turned into hearts. "A hidden tycoon, and so handsome too? How can such a person exist in this world?"

Chen Meijia tugged on her arm: "Yifei, tell me what that handsome guy looked like. Let's see which one is more handsome compared to the one I met the other day."

Hu Yifei thought for a moment and gave a light cough: "Sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a straight nose and a broad mouth, tall stature, especially stylish, a pleasant voice, a gentle tone..."

"Stop!" Chen Meijia immediately interrupted. "Why does it sound exactly like the one I met the other day?"

Lü Ziqiao rolled his eyes: "Forget it, Meijia. In your eyes, all handsome guys look the same. You can't even tell the difference between phoenix eyes and apricot eyes."

"Shut up, don't make trouble." Chen Meijia glared at Lü Ziqiao with dissatisfaction.

"My dear sister..." Lu Zhanbo suddenly spoke up. "You seem to have missed an opportunity for our Family to take flight."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei immediately glared at Zeng Xiaoxian: "It's all because of that phone call of yours! I was just having a pleasant chat with the handsome guy, and you had to call! Zeng Xiaoxian! You ruined my good thing!"

Zeng Xiaoxian immediately hugged a pillow and shrank into the corner of the sofa: "How can you blame me? You were the one who provoked that tattooed man and the male doctor; otherwise, they wouldn't have dueled."

"Wait!" Hu Yifei suddenly raised her arm. "No, Wanyu is wrong. That handsome guy clearly said at the time that he worked within the system, at the Procuratorate. Is the salary at the Procuratorate that high? Can they afford a Phaeton?"

Lü Ziqiao had a sudden realization: "Haha, Yifei, so you met a big corrupt official! You should have called the police at the time."

"Yeah." Zeng Xiaoxian immediately agreed. "The salary within the system isn't even as good as our TV station's. Look at me, I can only afford a Xiali, I can't even afford a volkswagen passat."

Hu Yifei frowned: "But he didn't look like a corrupt official to me."

"Huh?" Lin Wanyu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Feifei, you said he is from the Procuratorate?"

Hu Yifei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes. He even had two small red flags displayed on his car; only people within the system display those. And his demeanor really does seem like someone within the system."

"Within the system, wealthy, handsome..." Lin Wanyu suddenly smiled. "Yifei, I've guessed who he is."

Hu Yifei was stunned: "Who?"

Chen Meijia also poked her head forward: "Wanyu, who is it, who is it?"

Lu Zhanbo, Lü Ziqiao, and Zeng Xiaoxian all looked over.

Lin Wanyu sighed: "I don't dare say it; I'm afraid if I do, Yifei will regret it to death."

"Oh, Wanyu, hurry up and tell us." Hu Yifei stomped her feet in anxiety.

Lin Wanyu took a deep breath: "This man is unmarried, should be twenty-nine years old, and is currently the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Third Branch of the Shanghai Procuratorate."

"Huh?" Several people were completely dumbfounded.

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyebrows kept twitching: "Wanyu, what kind of joke are you making? At this level, he must be a division-level cadre, right?"

Lin Wanyu shook her head: "Not a division-level cadre, but a deputy-department-level."

Zeng Xiaoxian covered his mouth, stunned: "Then even our station director wouldn't dare speak loudly in front of him."

Hu Yifei slumped onto the sofa: "He became such a big official at twenty-nine... Then why is he so rich? Could he really be a corrupt official? Or maybe his Family is rich, but they want to keep a low profile, so he drives a Phaeton. That must be it. Wanyu, what's his name? Did I miss out on a top-tier second-generation rich kid?"

Lin Wanyu shook her head: "Feifei, you're wrong. His money was all earned by himself."

"How is that possible?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Because this person is almost an orphan; his parents passed away early on," Lin Wanyu said.

"An orphan?" The only sound in the room was the sound of people gasping. Lü Ziqiao's eyes flickered: "Parents both deceased, has a car and a house—what kind of wealth code did he master? If I could learn it, I..."

"Ziqiao, you probably can't learn it," Lin Wanyu said. "No one is clear about exactly how he makes money, but his assets have been fully reported and registered with the organization; you could say they are all clean. By the way... I heard my daddy mention that he sold a game he wrote to Lianzhong for one million dollars in his early years, which is that most popular 'the legend of mir 2.' It should be out in 3D version now, right? I saw Ziqiao playing it a couple of days ago."

"Wait a second!" Lu Zhanbo suddenly yelled, startling everyone.

Hu Yifei frowned: "What are you screaming for?"

Lu Zhanbo's breathing was a bit rapid as he stared at Lin Wanyu and said: "Are you talking about that Zhao Yang who holds a computer science PhD from Shuimu University, who clearly had a bright future in the scientific research field but didn't do research and went to become an official instead?"

Lin Wanyu nodded: "Yes, that's exactly who I'm talking about."

"Ah!" Lu Zhanbo was trembling all over. "It's actually him! My dear sister, you actually met him! What did you talk to him about?"

Hu Yifei looked at him with a confused expression, not knowing why he was acting like a madman: "We didn't talk about anything much... just chatted about the weather and such. We didn't say anything before I was called away by Zeng Xiaoxian."

"Ah!" Lu Zhanbo shouted, looking up at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle. "Sister, why was it you who met him and not me? You actually chatted about the weather when you saw him? Do you know what you missed? Oh my god, why wasn't it me? Why?"
