The place Mark Yves referred to was a house facing the street, where a black woman was knocking on the door. After making a gesture to Gao Yang and Magi, the three of them casually moved towards the woman who was knocking.
The area where Gao Yang and the others were situated was neither a detached villa type nor an apartment with many subdivisions inside a hallway; it was a series of bungalows with doors opening towards the street. These houses were much better than the makeshift shacks in the slums but were still considered housing for the poor.
Just as the door opened from the inside, Magi suddenly stepped forward, pushed the woman who was knocking into the door, and rushed in with a raised pistol. Then, he gestured for Gao Yang and the others to follow him in.
