At night, the city was a brilliant spectacle, its neon lights of every color dressing it up in flamboyant splendor.
It was mid-August, and the weather was still quite hot. During the day, the intense heat of the sun drove everyone to take refuge in air-conditioned rooms.
Once evening fell, the temperature on the streets dropped considerably. People began to emerge from their rooms, meeting up with a few friends to go shopping, watch a movie, or...
At 7:30 PM, a silver van pulled into the parking lot next to Tianli Square.
As one of the top five shopping centers in Rongcheng East District, Tianli Square was incredibly crowded with shoppers at night.
In the parking lot, a sedan worth two or three million had just parked. The young man behind the wheel was telling his girlfriend to get out.
Just then, a silver van worth no more than fifty thousand yuan parked in the spot next to his.
