A few days later, Mr. Yi typed Fun Weng’s address

into his GPS system,

but the car didn’t seem to understand

anything behind Wanfujing Road.

By noon, Mr. Yi still hadn’t found the right hutong district,

and so ducked into a small restaurant called Han Palace.

The owner was watching an NBA game,

but when he saw the Rolls-Royce pull up,

went to get his best baijiu and two glasses.
