In the early years of the Republic of China, the sky was just beginning to light up. The early morning of early spring still had a chill in the air, but the Shanghai North Bund Pier was already a bustling scene. There were porters carrying goods, unloading cargo, and people waiting, all in abundance. Inspector Ying Xi of the Old Gate Police Station in the Shanghai International Settlement was also waiting for someone. He was about twenty years old, with high cheekbones and deep-set eyes. His short hair was slightly messy, and the stubble on his cheeks added a touch of ruggedness to his handsomeness and wildness. Ying Xi was leaning against the back seat of his bicycle, wearing his police uniform. His leather shoes were scruffy on his feet, and the buttons on his uniform were undone, revealing a hint of the gun holstered at his waist. His face was turned towards the river, and his deep eyes gazed into the distance.
