Lin Ruoxi had already finished her meal. She put down her chopsticks, elegantly wiped her mouth with a wet tissue, meticulously folded the tissue into a neat square, and then, without bothering to look at the smiling Yang Chen, moved from the dining table to the sofa. She picked up the remote control and turned on the television.
Yang Chen pondered how to broach the subject, but just as he was about to speak, the news on the television made him clamp his mouth shut.
The morning's headline news in Zhonghai, displayed prominently with the title "Terrorist Bank Robbery Strikes Again!" showed a picture of a Zhonghai bank with its façade blown apart and many walls destroyed. The scene was surrounded by yellow police tape, and numerous medical personnel were transporting and rescuing bank employees and customers who had been carried out. Onlookers pointed and discussed, while many relatives were seen crying and shouting at the police.
