　　In front of the entrance to the sports stadium located near the city center, a crowd was gathered as more and more people arrived at the venue. There were still two hours left before the start of the music festival and yet there was already a considerable crowd waiting.

　　Security checks were conducted with added rigorousness as the shooting incident that had occurred a day earlier had a left impact on the police force. Despite the grim happenings, the enthusiasm of those who were here to enjoy themselves did not dwindle in the slightest.

　　The side-exit of the stadium served as an entrance for special guests. Unlike the main entrance, it was deserted. A young employee scratched her head as she looked at rather short-man in front of him, who was dressed in a worn-out cotton jacket and carried a knit bag with him.

　　"Sir, this is the entrance for special guests. You'll need a different ticket. You have to enter through the main entrance. Also, we'll help clean up the empty bottles left in the venue after the show…" The employee answered politely and the man looked like someone who scavenged recyclables for a living.

　　"Is this the right ticket?" The man smiled and took out a ticket.

　　"Oh?" The employee was surprised as the ticket did look authentic.

　　"Please wait for a second," Although she had her doubts about how a homeless-looking man was able to acquire a ticket costing almost ten thousand yuan, she still proceeded to scan the ticket and verified the code.

　　Ding!

　　A beeping sound was heard as the ticket was successfully verified.

　　"What's happening? Get out of here!" Before the employee could return the ticket to the man, a muscular man arrived at the scene. He towered over the skinny man as he accosted him.

　　"Captain, he has a ticket." The young employee showed the ticket to her supervisor.

　　"What?" The captain was stunned.

　　"This…"

　　"And you verified it?" The captain had a hard time believing it.

　　"Yes."

　　"Tell me, how did you get your hands on this?" The captain s.n.a.t.c.hed the ticket and looked at the man as he was still unwilling to believe that the latter could ever afford such an expensive item.
