Fang Yi paused for a moment at the door, then walked down the stairs.
Suddenly, Fang Yi saw the Phoenix brand bicycle parked below the stairway, an old-fashioned bike with an iron bar across between the seat and the handlebar.
This was a bicycle Fang Yi found at a bike shop and had been riding it ever since, until Kong Qingxu and Tang Xiaoyu ran over it with their car, which led to Fang Yi giving them a sound lesson.
Fang Yi couldn’t bear to part with this old-fashioned bar-framed bicycle, so he repaired it himself and left it under the stairway, not riding it again.
Seeing it now, Fang Yi had a sudden impulse and pulled out the bicycle, riding it out of the old neighborhood.
As he rode the old-style bicycle on the road, the city’s nightlife was dazzling, with streetlights shining brightly, hardly needing a bike light to navigate.
The weather was nearing winter, getting colder, and Fang Yi had put on a jacket.
Riding on the street, watching the rows of trees and pedestrians passing by in reverse, Fang Yi felt quite relaxed, not having let his mind wander in a long time.
The traffic light was just ahead.
When Fang Yi reached the intersection, the red light came on, so he put his foot down and stopped the bicycle to wait for the green light.
A black Kia sedan stopped among the cars, waiting for the red light.
The driver was a man in a suit, looking very dignified, and the man in the passenger seat was also in a suit.
This man in the suit had a handsome face and chiseled features, wearing a communication earpiece, looking like a secret agent from a movie.
When the car stopped to wait for the red light, the suited man paused, glancing through the rearview mirror at the protected target in the back seat, and quietly speculated on her thoughts.
Unfortunately, this woman was different from those he had protected before.
In the rearview mirror, the woman had an oval face, the car window was rolled down, and she was looking outside, seeming relaxed, which added to her breathtaking charm.
Her dark shiny hair was neatly tied up, and her ears were adorned with exquisite earrings, while her pretty face held a calm and natural expression, showing no hint of her inner thoughts or feelings.
The man in the suit watched for a long time, finding himself unable to see through her, so he decided not to look anymore. Just as he was about to avert his gaze, he suddenly noticed her eyes widen with surprise, as if she had seen something shocking.
Could she have spotted a suspicious person?
The suited man immediately followed her line of sight.
However, much to the man’s disappointment and amusement, all he saw was a man on the zebra crossing ahead of the intersection, sitting astride a very old-fashioned bar-framed bicycle, seemingly waiting for the red light.
People who rode such bicycles were scarce these days—no, almost nonexistent, especially in a big city like Moon City, where there were none at all!
Moreover, the suited man scrutinized the man closely, finding his attire very ordinary and simple, and he was only looking straight ahead, not at all resembling a suspicious person.
The suited man suspected he might have seen wrong or was overthinking it, but what puzzled him was that the woman continued to stare intensely at the man, as if having the urge to get out of the car.
The suited man was genuinely confused, so he could no longer hold back and asked, "Miss Lin, is there something wrong with that person?" Official source is N0veI.Fiɾe.net
