Chapter 061 : Dongfang Jenqyih

Shinnshiow did not repeat all the stories he had told earlier, only the part after he separated from Jenqyih. Jenqyih was very surprised to learn that the people who followed Shinnshiow experienced a tragic event. After Shinnshiow finished telling the story, Jenqyih continued his story, starting from the part after he got separated from Shinnshiow.

Jenqyih did not explain clearly the background and full identity of the old friend he visited. He only said that the person was a friend he had known since over twenty years ago. Jenqyih's four friends did not inquire further about the person's background. They didn't seem too bothered about such things. Jenqyih also did not go into detail about how he managed to escape the person who was stalking him. He simply said that he came out the back door of his friend's apartment building. And then, his friend took him to the station by motorbike. The stalker might not have recognized him because, in addition to wearing a helmet, Jenqyih was also wearing a leather jacket lent by that friend. Jenqyih's friends all agree that the jacket made Jenqyih's posture look much bigger.

It was late at night. According to the original plan, they would negotiate what they should do next. But apparently, Shinnshiow was already so sleepy that they canceled the plan. Shannchyuan then stood up and asked Jenqyih to follow him. It turned out that Shannchyuan was walking towards Jenqyih's bedroom. Even though he didn't understand what Shannchyuan meant, Jenqyih still followed him. Jenqyih shared a bedroom with Yihshyong, while Shinnshiow and Iren occupied another bedroom. Previously, Chioujen had also occupied the bedroom occupied by Iren and Shinnshiow. Shannchyuan then went into Jenqyih's bedroom and headed straight for the bed. On the bed was the leather jacket that Jenqyih had previously worn. He had taken it off before he showered earlier. Shannchyuan took the leather jacket. He promptly took it out of the room.

Followed by Jenqyih, Shannchyuan continued walking with the leather jacket in his hand. He walked towards the shed, which was near the kitchen. Shannchyuan then opened the shed door. After turning on the light, he entered the shed room. There were lots of items in the shed. Among the things was a box one meter by one meter, about one meter high. Shannchyuan opened the box. The box contained several costumes, which were drama properties. Several months ago, in a game he designed, Songfei asked the participants to wear special costumes usually used in dramas. Since the five of them didn't have any special outfits, Songfei lent them the costumes. After the game was over, it turned out that Songfei had forgotten to ask for the costumes back, so they were still in their house. Shannchyuan put the costumes in a box that he put in the shed. Incidentally, whenever they met with Songfei, they forgot to mention it.

Shannchyuan folded the leather jacket he was carrying. Deftly, he tucked the leather jacket under the pile of costumes for the play's props. While smiling. Shannchyuan closed and locked the box. The key to the box immediately disappeared into Shannchyuan's trouser pocket. The box, from the outside, looked like an ordinary wooden box. But it was clear that it wasn't an ordinary wooden box because it wasn't made of wood at all. The material for making the box was a very light metal alloy. Although light, its strength was much greater than steel. They had already tried to break the box purposely. Among other things, by hitting the box with a hammer. Even Shannchyuan had dropped the box from a height of ten meters. The box turned out to be okay.

Shannchyuan came out of the shed and took Jenqyih to go to the backyard.

<<What did Dahge actually mean? Going around in circles like this really didn't make the situation any easier.>>

"Let's sit here first." Shannchyuan put his ass on one chair. He asked Jenqyih to sit on the chair in front of him. At that moment Shannchyuan sat facing the wall in the backyard.

<<I hope this isn't some kind of test. I'm so tired right now.>>

"How is your friend doing? Does he look all right?" Shannchyuan opened the conversation.

"He looks a lot older. But he's fine." Jenqyih didn't lie. Indeed, that was what he had witnessed.

"When was the last time you saw him? I mean, before six months ago?" Shannchyuan's tone was soft yet firm.

"About fifteen years ago."

"It's been a long time, huh?" Shannchyuan nodded. "Over the past fifteen years, have you had any contact with him? I mean, by phone or letter?"

"Nothing. I was surprised when I met him six months ago on the train."

He still didn't understand the meaning of the series of questions that were successively asked by Shannchyuan. But from what Shannchyuan had just said, he concluded Shannchyuan suspected something.

From the look on his face and eyes, Shannchyuan seemed to have guessed that Jenqyih had such thoughts. He let out a long breath. While gazing far away at the high wall behind him, he opened his mouth. "You were being followed by an unknown person. You don't know how far the person following you will go. He might injure you. In that situation, instead of going to the police station, you visit your friend. If the person who was following you was really a dangerous person, then you're tantamount to putting your friend in danger."

Shannchyuan stopped his speech. He was still looking at the high wall that separated their backyard from the backyard of the house behind them.

<<Ah! Turns out I was right! Dahge must have thought that my friend was a special person!>>

After about ten seconds, Shannchyuan continued his speech. "Unless your friend isn't an ordinary person."

Shannchyuan was silent for another moment.

<<What should I do now? I couldn't have told Dahge all of our backgrounds.>>

"If your friend isn't an ordinary person, then the person following you might not be a match for your friend. You must have thought that your friend would be fine. So your act of visiting your friend makes sense."

To anyone, all this time, Jenqyih has never once told a part of her past that she really shouldn't tell. But from his words, it was clear that Shannchyuan had already guessed certain parts of Jenqyih's past that he had never shared with his friends. Shannchyuan seemed to have guessed what kind of organization had been a part of Jenqyih's life.

<<This is really a dilemma! I need a little time to think.>>
