86 Chapter 66: The Young Man Who Fell Ill_2
The young man seed to have no more strength left; he rely expressed his gratitude before sitting down in the seat the little boy had given up, while the little boy took a step back and occupied the position right behind the priority seats.
Yan Fei, who was sitting further back, nodded silently in approval. Over the past few years, the civilized quality of Chinese People had greatly improved. Especially children and young people, who were very conscientious about being civil in public spaces, giving up their seats was now commonplace. If this trend continued, China would beco increasingly civilized.
The bus reached the next stop, and an old man wearing a white tank top boarded. This old man was thin and bony; he had appeared quite spirited before boarding, but once on the bus, he beca listless. He approached the sick young man, tilted his chin up, looked at the young man seated, and said loudly, "Hey, you get up and give your seat!"
The sick young man's face had been in discomfort the whole ti; he likely didn't hear the old man's words, so there was no reaction. The little boy who gave up his seat to the young man stood up again and said, "Grandpa, please take my seat!"
The old man glanced at the half-empty back of the bus but didn't move backward. Instead, he continued to address the sick young man, "Hey, I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear ?"
This ti the sick young man clearly heard and turned to look before responding, "Old man, there are plenty of empty seats at the back, please sit there!"
The old man instantly got angry, roaring, "This is a priority seat, ant for us elderly to sit in. How can a young man like you have the audacity to occupy this place? Get up quickly and give the seat to !"
The sick young man was stunned for a mont, not expecting the old man to be so irritable. Nonetheless, he struggled to stand up to give up his seat, but it seed there was a problem with his body. He had just managed to rise halfway before sitting down again, and then he had no strength left to move.
The old man coldly observed this and beca infuriated when he saw that the young man only made a gesture to get up before sitting back down again. He didn't speak another word, but suddenly regained his previous vigor and started doing various warm-up exercises, bending over, stretching his legs, and moving his hands and feet. After he finished warming up, he grabbed the handrails above, lifted his body off his seat, kicked up his legs, and then fiercely kicked the sick young man.
The sick young man was violently kicked by the old man's feet and hit the bus window; the window even cracked from the impact. Even passengers sitting at the back could hear the loud sound of the kick, which speaks volus about how strong the old man's kick was. The sick young man's body was recoiled by the window, and he then tumbled to the ground.
The little boy who had given up his seat imdiately went forward to help the sick young man, but before he could speak, he was slapped by the old man, who rebuked, "You little rat, think I'm just a sick cat when I don't show my might? Back in the day, there wasn't a person I hadn't fought, you two little rats don't even catch my eye..."
Having been struck innocently by the old man, the little boy burst into tears.
The bystanders could no longer stand by, and they began to reproach the old man. Full of arrogance, the old man taunted, "This is just the kind of person I am. If you have the guts, co hit ! Rember, I've got a heart condition and can't take shocks, the mont you lay a hand on and I go down, you'll be ruined."
Yan Fei felt anger rising within him; this old man reminded him of a saying he had seen on the Internet: "It's not that the elderly have beco bad, it's that bad people have gotten old." Perhaps in his youth, during that special era, this old man had been a daredevil, too?
Seeing that everyone was rely verbally condemning him and no one dared to step forward to intervene, the old man grew even more brazen and said, "You're all trash, indeed a bunch of cowards who can only talk big. If you'd t the from back in the day, I'd ensure you were thoroughly taught a lesson."
Just as Yan Fei thought about discreetly intervening to punish this arrogant old man, the sick young man finally stood up. His face was flushed, he was reeling, his body covered in cold sweat, he struggled to his feet, took hold of the little boy, and began to comfort him.
The old man arrogantly took the priority seat, sneered and said, "If you'd given up your seat earlier, wouldn't all this have been avoided? Pretending to be sick, and look, my kick has cured your illness! You ought to thank ."
The sick young man looked at the old man furiously, then lightly patted the old man on the shoulder. The old man's eyes bulged, and he shouted, "What are you doing?"
The sick young man replied, "I'm getting my bag."
It turned out that the sick young man's bag had been left on the seat, and the old man threw it to the ground. The young man, face full of anger, refrained from any further action. Just then, the bus arrived at the next stop, so he picked up his bag and got off along with the crying little boy.
As soon as the two exited, the old man resud his earlier lethargic deanor, closed his eyes, and looked like he was about to die. After traveling a few stops, the bus was forced to make a sudden ergency stop, and the old man's body lunged forward, then fell onto the aisle. Strangely, there was no reaction from the old man down on the ground, completely motionless. Although dissatisfied with the old man's behavior earlier, soone still stepped forward to check on him and was shocked to find that the old man was not breathing at all; he had sohow died without anyone noticing when it happened.
With a fatality on board, the driver imdiately pulled over and stopped the bus to call the police. The rest of the passengers, fearing trouble, hurriedly got off as soon as the bus ca to a halt, completely ignoring the driver's request for them to stay as witnesses. They all opted not to face police questioning, especially not for a detestable and brash old man like him.
Yan Fei too left the bus. With his extraordinary vision, he saw more than the others did. When the sick young man eventually gave the old man a light pat on the shoulder, it seed as if sothing amazing had happened, and then the old man died.
Though the young man looked seriously ill and extrely weak, he was no ordinary person – his body contained an amazing power that could easily cause death. But since Yan Fei also had little sympathy for the arrogant old man, naturally he didn't want to complicate matters or stay to provide evidence for the police, as he had more important things to attend to.
In the dayti, Yan Fei spent his ti strolling around Hang City. Co nightfall, he made his way to the Wangde Food Company office again, and as expected, found Ryoko and Jo Oogawa there. In addition to them, Manager Xiang was also in the room.
When Yan Fei spotted them, Ryoko was instructing Manager Xiang.
Yan Fei had not been prepared yesterday, so he hadn't recorded the information he overheard. Tonight, however, he ca prepared and had purchased a high-definition video cara to record what was transpiring in the room.
