The only thing to do now was to pray for Lin Li in their hearts, hoping he could find a place to take shelter before the downpour began.
...
The house Lin Li had his eye on was located in a developing plot of land in the eastern part of the city. This plot was backed by a small hill, and a small river flowed in front of it.
Nestled by the mountains and water with beautiful scenery, it was a piece of prime real estate according to feng shui. The people who could afford to buy a plot of land and build a house here were all quite well-off.
So, one could imagine that once all the houses on this plot were built, the property values here would rise even more.
However, Lin Li wasn't a real estate speculator, so he didn't care how much the property's value might increase in the future.
CRACK...
A sudden thunderclap cracked through the air. On the riverside street paved with bluestone slabs, the horse pulling the carriage jumped in fright, and its speed dropped abruptly.
