Chapter 034 : Dongfang Jenqyih

Indeed, Jenqyih has little knowledge about this. Back then, many years ago, when he had just graduated from University. There was a strange company trying to recruit him. On a whim, Jenqyih took the tests held at the company. The tests he took were quite bizarre. But even more strangely, even though Jenqyih felt like he failed every time he took part in the test, it turned out that he always passed to the next round. Until finally, he was accepted to work at the company. After only two months of working, Jenqyih was transferred to another place. There, Jenqyih was told that the company where Jenqyih worked was actually just a front company of a secret agency tasked with collecting intelligence data. They informed Jenqyih had to undergo some necessary training.

At that point, Jenqyih immediately refused to be assigned to the agency. With a firm determination, he decided to resign. One of them, who previously introduced himself as the manager, tried to convince Jenqyih not to do that. He persuaded Jenqyih to try to be there for at least half a year first. Since his attempts to resign proved futile, Jenqyih finally agreed to attend a short six-month training course. Since the position offered to Jenqyih was administrative, the training did not include training to improve physical endurance, so six months was sufficient for basic training. He would have to attend other training if he decided to continue to work in that company after six months.

Not even four months after Jenqyih's training, his father suddenly fell ill. Because his father's illness was quite severe, Jenqyih asked for permission to go home to visit his father. His request was granted. After a week at home, it turned out that Jenqyih didn't want to come back. He did not give news for two weeks, so the agency forcibly came to his house to pick him up. In fact, Jenqyih was deliberately determined to do that so that he would be fired. But it turns out he only got a warning. They ordered Jenqyih to resume his training immediately.

Three weeks later, there was a big event on the training grounds. Jenqyih became a hero because somehow, he managed to do something that saved many people there. When the company was about to give him the award, Jenqyih only asked for one thing, namely, to be allowed to leave the institution. Because Jenqyih had insisted, they finally granted Jenqyih's request. On the condition that Jenqyih will never tell anyone about his involvement with the institution. The significant events that happened there should not be told to anyone at all. Therefore, until this moment, Jenqyih has never opened his mouth about this period of his life to other people. When someone asked, he just said that during that time, he worked in another branch of the first company where he worked. He immediately resigned a few months later because he felt he was not suited to work there. So far, everyone believed the story.

"So Yihge guessed all these things from a long time ago?" Shinnshiow's question made Jenqyih wake up from his past memories.

"Not really. What I still don't know is whether that person is in the same group as the two he trailed."

"If they are members of the same group, why does that person have to follow his two friends?"

"Maybe they are from the same group, but the two people don't know that they are being watched. This is a natural thing. In the past, when we were still working at the company in our hometown, wasn't there also a team in charge of supervising us? Sometimes we don't even know who was assigned to watch over us," said Jenqyih.

Shinnshiow nodded. "But not necessarily they are from the same group."

"You're right. They don't necessarily belong to the same group. They could even be enemies."

"Then what should we do now?" Shinnshiow's voice trembled slightly.

"First, we have to confirm that they are indeed following us."

"How to be sure?"

"Soon we will change buses. If they are still following, then we are indeed their target."

The bus then stopped at a stop. This time five passengers got on, but no one got off.

"We'll get off at the next stop," Jenqyih whispered.

Unlike the previous stops, which were close to each other, this time the bus stop was a bit far away. Six minutes later, the bus stopped at the next stop. The two of them stood up and prepared to descend. Several passengers also got off with them. Among the passengers who got off, it turned out that there were people following them. The two of them then sat on the bench at the stop to wait for another bus line that passed the stop. Only one of the two people following them got off at the stop. The other one remained on the bus. Meanwhile, the mysterious person who followed the two people also got off at the stop.

Just wait less than three minutes, there is a bus coming. This bus served a different route from the bus they previously rode. The route was a bit far. The size of the bus was also slightly bigger. Just like before, Jenqyih chose to sit in the back seat.

"We know that someone is following us. I think they have some experience with this. So, are they not aware that someone is following them?" Shinnshiow whispered. Jenqyih could barely hear it.

Jenqyih sighed at Shinnshiow's question. "The person following them is more experienced than the two of them." He was silent for a moment, then continued his speech. "Earlier, when he was sitting on the bus, he changed his appearance. Because he was sitting behind the two people he followed, they could not monitor his actions. He is now wearing glasses, changing his hat, turning over the jacket he is wearing. The jacket he is wearing is a reversible jacket. He even changed his bag. He was carrying two bags. The bag he was carrying now, was inside the bag he was carrying before. About the bag he was carrying before. He folded it up and put it in the bag he is carrying now."

Shinnshiow did not comment on Jenqyih's analysis.

"Where are we going to get off?" asked Shinnshiow about five minutes later.

"We need to lure them to stay as far away from our friends as possible. So I'm planning to get off at the last stop on this line. I hope this isn't a problem for you."

"Okay then. I'll follow all your plans."

Then the two of them sat in silence for the rest of the journey. Jenqyih tried to reanalyze the things he observed.

<<Is this problem as simple as I thought? What if this had nothing to do with Songfei at all? What if the target of these people is one of us? Or what if I was their actual target?>>
