Stepping out of the bank's entrance, a chill wind blew straight at him, bringing He Kao abruptly back to reality as if he'd traveled from twenty years ago to the present.
The area in front of the commercial bank was open, with wide roads and sidewalks bustling with people and cars. Municipal workers were hanging red lanterns and colored lights on streetlamp poles and trees using lift trucks... The golden week holiday was around the corner.
For some reason, He Kao suddenly felt uneasy, constantly sensing someone secretly watching him, even finding the workers hanging lanterns somewhat suspicious.
Not wanting to linger in such an open space, He Kao turned and walked to another cross street, while taking out his phone to open the ride-hailing app. Before he could hail a car and had just turned the street corner, a sedan stopped beside him.
"Xiao Kao, get in the car!"
