A speeding bus drives on the road under the night sky.

"This road has been repaired."

Jack, who was sitting in the window seat, looked down at the road outside the window.

"yes,"

His wife Aisha also leaned over and glanced out the window, "The group has been building roads recently and has hired a lot of people. There are road closures and road repairs everywhere."

"The roads here are now better than those in Chenxi City."

Jack reached out to hold his wife's hand and smiled.

"Our place is much better than Chenxi City,"

Aisha smiled and said, "Can we live in such a cheap house in Chenxi City? Have such cheap medical care? Can Aini go to such a good school?"

She looked out the window at the brightly lit building, "Chenxi City is paradise, but it is not our paradise."

"yes."

Jack nodded slightly and stared at the slow-moving vehicles outside the window.

"Mom and Dad, look there are so many people over there."

At this moment, the little girl sitting in front suddenly turned around, pointed at the window on the other side, and shouted softly.

Jack came back to his senses and looked in the direction his daughter pointed.

I saw many people gathered together on the sidewalk over there, almost blocking the road.

At this time, the bus happened to arrive at the stop and the door opened.

But this stop is not the one they want to leave.

"that is······"

Jack was a little confused. He was sitting on the bus, sitting higher up, and could vaguely see the crowd seeming to be surrounding an important person.

"It's Mr. Wei An!"

The wife beside him suddenly shouted excitedly, then grabbed his hand, and then grabbed his daughter in the front row, "Ani, let's get out of the car."

Jack didn't react for a moment and was dragged out of the car by his wife. When he stood still on the ground in a daze, he realized what his wife said. He looked at the crowd half shocked and half surprised.

The deepest part, "Mr. Wei An?"

He has been in Kaya City for almost two years and has only seen Mr. Vian in promotional videos.

The absolute controller of the Nolanka Group, the man who has changed the fate of millions of people in Kaya City, does not seem to like to appear in front of others.

There are even rumors that he has been seriously ill in bed and will die soon.

But the young man surrounded by the crowd was confident, calm, and energetic, and did not appear to be seriously ill.

At this moment, Jack and his wife were standing at the outermost edge of the crowd. He could only stand on tiptoe to barely see through the gap between his heads and vaguely see some scenes in the inner circle.

But Jack reacted quickly. She immediately picked up her daughter, then turned on the bracelet camera and let her daughter, who was higher up, hold the bracelet.

He and his wife 'broadcast' the central scene through the bracelet's projection screen.

······

"Mr. V. V. Vian,"

At the front of the crowd, a shy girl in simple attire stopped by the roadside. She raised her bracelet and looked at He Ao with some stuttering, "Can I...can I take a photo?"

"certainly."

He Ao smiled and nodded.

It was already dark at this moment, and the bright streetlights shone on the sidewalk, mixing together the onlookers around He Ao's figure.

Seeing He Ao's smiling face, the girl walked over excitedly, stood next to He Ao, picked up the bracelet and took a photo with He Ao.

He Ao also made a somewhat funny gesture for making a phone call.

"thanks, thanks······"

After taking the photo, the girl didn't bother to look at the photo in the bracelet. Her face turned red, she thanked her a little dizzy, and then ran into the crowd in a daze under the envious eyes of the people around her.

"Mr. Wei An..."

Immediately afterwards, another young man ran over.

He Ao also smiled and took photos with him.

The brave people around me came around to take photos with He Ao.

After several people arrived in succession, He Ao raised his hand, looked at the crowd in front of him, and said with a gentle smile, "Can you give me some permission? I want to go to the North City Gate."

His voice seemed to have a magical power that infected people's hearts. After hearing his words, the crowd naturally separated, leaving a 'passage' for three people to pass, with human walls on both sides.

"Thanks."

He Ao nodded with a smile and walked along the road that people gave way to.

There were no dividing lines, and no one maintained order. The crowd almost gave way to a pair of parallel 'straight lines'.

The vast majority of people stood behind these two straight lines in tacit understanding, watching He Ao and watching He Ao move forward.

This is an invisible order. People adhere to a common tacit understanding and do not cause trouble to "Mr. Wei An" while watching.

More and more people joined these two human walls, but no one broke this tacit understanding.

As He Ao walked forward, his eyes also scanned the surrounding crowd of 'watchers'.

In fact, the crowd that gathered around him was somewhat beyond his expectation.

The Nolanka Group Building is not far from the North City Gate where Fes is now located. He Ao's original plan was to walk there directly with Danny and Lina, and take a look at the infrastructure and reform achievements of Kaya City.

But he didn't expect that he would be spotted as soon as he went out, and before he took a few steps, the crowd completely blocked the sidewalk.

It was already dark now, and most of the people gathered around were probably workers coming off the late shift, or some citizens who were out strolling around in the evening.

After the restructuring, Nolanka Group does not work overtime for the time being, but it does have night shifts, and the working hours are also eight hours, but the starting time is later and the finishing time is also later.

Most of these people who forcibly used human walls to block the road were thin and wore T-shirt suits with the emblem of the city of Nolanka Stars printed on them, or work clothes with the emblem also printed on them. These clothes are now one of the cheapest clothes in the entire Kaya City.

.

Many people have minor scars on their faces and arms, and their skin is darker and older, obviously exposed to weather and sun.

Perhaps a month ago, two months ago, or half a year ago, they were just wanderers on the roadside who could freeze to death without being cared for.

Now they are standing here, having their own jobs, and after paying the rent, they can even have some money left over to buy their own things, and can live like human beings.

The sidewalks that were originally covered with homeless people's black bedding and small tents have been renovated, and the street lights are shining brightly. Even in the lanes next to the road, there are also small street lights.

He Ao's eyes swept across the crowd, and he tried his best to meet everyone's eyes.

He stared at these people, and the crowd also stared at him.

There was no cheering, no yelling.

Most people just stared at He Ao quietly, their eyes following He Ao's footsteps, and they refused to leave until He Ao's footsteps disappeared from their sight.

These people are not completely unfamiliar faces. He Ao also met Jack's family who had interacted with 'Qiao Yin' before. Their whole family has obviously gained some weight now. The little girl who was a little skinny two years ago has a different face.

Some of the meat is gone.

There weren’t many people at the beginning, so the ‘along way’ was actually not very long.

But as the news spread, more and more people came over, extending this road section after section.

They stared at He Ao and watched him leave step by step.

He Ao also moved forward step by step, but he did not complete the entire journey, but stopped more than halfway.

He lowered his head and glanced at the ground beneath his feet, then looked up at the bright streetlight above his head.

"What's wrong? Master Wei An?"

Danny behind him asked softly.

"fine."

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked down at the ground again.

Unknowingly, he walked to the place where Wei An first met Chaos earlier that year. At that time, Wei An was eleven years old, and the equally immature Chaos was wrapped in dirty clothes and mud.

In Wei An's memory, the road was in bad condition and full of mud. The street lights were dim and in disrepair and could go out at any time.

This place is still the same now, but the road has been paved with regular sidewalk bricks, and the street lights have been replaced with brand-new and bright street lights.

So much so that He Ao almost couldn't tell the difference just now.

He then raised his head and smiled, "The road is well built."

Hearing this, Danny looked around, seemed to have remembered something, and nodded slightly.

Some people in the crowd looked down at the ground, and some seemed to be lost in memories.

There was a faint sound of sobbing.
