Chapter 254: Riding Around the Island
Marlon Shepherd thought Yusuf Zuck was joking. Yusuf was a young man, as well as a billionaire tycoon who had made a fortune overnight, and wasn’t short of money. So, how could someone like him possibly buy a bicycle?
However, to Marlon’s surprise, the next morning, Yusuf bought a bike worth over seven thousand Hong Kong dollars at a shopping center in Central, as well as various cycling gear, clothing, and hats, totaling over ten thousand dollars.
Marlon was speechless. If Yusuf wanted to go mad, then let him be mad on his own—he still needed to help Yusuf quickly pick out a location and buy a house.
He was now Yusuf’s eyes, as well as his right and left hands. Yusuf was a hands-off shopkeeper, so he had to complete the tasks Yusuf had assigned to him.
Of course, this was also a sign of trust from Yusuf. No third party knew about the house buying.
Yusuf returned to the hotel to change his clothes and donned his cycling attire, topped with a large backpack. After having a quick lunch at the hotel, he began riding around Hong Kong on his own in the afternoon. He wasn’t afraid of getting lost since he had bought a GPS navigation device for his bike.
These days, there were many people cycling, gathering friends on weekends and marking out cycling maps, setting off as they talked—it was not only a good way to exercise but also a response to national policies.
Speaking of low-carbon environmental protection, abandoning cars for bikes had a certain appeal of returning to nature.
Following Victoria Harbour and guided by the navigation, Yusuf wanted to visit several places: Causeway Bay, Tuen Mun, and Mong Kok. These areas often appeared in TV shows and movies. Back in the day, several films about gangsters made these places very famous. With nothing particular to do, he decided to meander about.
What he didn’t know, however, was as he cycled to a crossroads and waited for the red light, a black Bentley car happened to pass by, also waiting for the red light, just a dozen meters away from Yusuf.
