Gold has been stored for how long now? Three months, a full three months.
Aside from the first day when attackers of unknown identity struck, nothing else happened over the next three months. So, after a period of being on tenterhooks initially, what followed was relaxation, then complete relaxation, until numbness set in.
We spent Christmas in the factory, saw the New Year in, celebrated Spring Festival, and even the Lantern Festival. Valentine's Day was also spent inside the factory, yet nothing happened.
The situation in South Africa was very calm, so calm that it seemed like no accidents could possibly occur.
Of course, by now, Gao Guang and his colleagues could not be said to be trapped here. After a few tense initial days, life, while not back to normal, also lacked significant ups and downs. In the end, although it was still advised against going out unnecessarily, taking a stroll if one really wanted to was no issue.
