The sun shone brightly, and a gentle warm breeze caressed everything.
At 2:41 p.m., the long-distance bus station in Ping City was bustling.
The somewhat crowded station saw many vehicles from various places slowly driving in or out. Some passengers, still waiting, sat inside the buses, dozing off.
Just then, a string of black sedans suddenly stopped in front of the bustling crowd outside the station.
"Bang!" After a series of car doors opened and closed, a dozen or so cold-faced men alighted. This was followed by the approaching sound of police car sirens. Several police cars also stopped at the entrance of the station, sirens blaring.
Inside the station, a white passenger bus slowly opened its doors. Passengers disembarked one after another.
Among them was a delicate-looking young boy with a gentle face, dressed in a white shirt, slowly following a family of three off the bus.
