Chapter 062 : Dongfang Jenqyih

Jenqyih was speechless.

"Don't worry," said Shannchyuan. "I understand that someone must have a good reason to tell something, or not to tell something."

Jenqyih nodded his head, listening to Shannchyuan's words. He still didn't utter a word.

Shannchyuan still said more. "Do you think your friend is worthy of your trust?"

Jenqyih took a deep breath. "I've helped him in the past. I could say that he owes me my life. Therefore, it seems unlikely that he intends to harm me."

"But that was over twenty years ago. In twenty years, people can change." Shannchyuan's voice was relaxed yet firm.

Jenqyih was surprised. Shannchyuan could guess that the incident he had helped his friend with had happened over twenty years ago.

<<Who exactly is this Dahge? How did he know it was over twenty years ago? It turns out that there are many mysterious things about him.>>

Jenqyih thought further. He realized he wasn't the only one who didn't tell Shannchyuan much. All this time, it also seemed like there were a lot of things that Shannchyuan didn't tell others.

<<So many mysterious things from Dahge. Maybe he also had more or less the same experience as me.>>

Such a thought was not too strange. Shannchyuan came from a family from privileged background. The people in the Duanmuh family should be familiar with such mysterious matters.

"I hope you're right. If that friend of yours can still be trusted, then he can help us. But before we can be completely sure of that, we better be careful."

Jenqyih nodded. He agreed with that thought.

"How many things have you told your friend?"

"I told almost everything. Except for things related to Miss Liuchiou. I said nothing about her at all. I just said we got the bag because Songfei called us. He wanted to leave the bag with us for a while. I also didn't tell about the notebook we found. I told him that from inside the bag, we found a brown envelope filled with paper filled with red ink scribbles, a photograph, and a map. Regarding the photo, I didn't say that we recognized any of the faces in the picture. We've never seen the kidnapping incident, so there's no way we'd know that the woman in the photo was the victim of a kidnapping."

"Good!" Shannchyuan nodded. "We don't need to involve Yinqyueh. As originally planned, if anyone asks, just say that Yinqyueh is my relatives."

Jenqyih nodded. "About that jacket..." Jenqyih said the sentence with full of doubts.

"Ah! I just want to be careful. I'm afraid that the jacket has been fitted with some kind of sound-tapping device. I heard from several people, currently there are some sound-tapping devices that have sky-high sensitivity. So if you just put the jacket inside room, it could be that the sound of our conversation is still within the reach of the eavesdropper installed there. The box in the shed is an extraordinary box. It is made of sound-absorbing material. I have already tested it. At that time, I once inserted a voice recorder, which I lit into the box. Then I screamed and banged on the box. After I checked, it turned out that the sounds I made were not recorded on the recorder at all."

<<Oh! So that's what Dahge actually did back then!>>

Jenqyih remembered that several months ago, they had gone camping in a mountainous area outside the city, about three hundred kilometers from the southern limit of this city. At that time, they brought the box because it was a multipurpose box and could hold many things. When they all went to explore the area surrounding the campsite, Shannchyuan refused to come. He chose to stay at the camp. When they returned to the camp, they saw Shannchyuan sitting cross-legged on the box, screaming and pounding it with a hammer. They had thought Shannchyuan was releasing his pent-up emotions.

Many people had a habit of screaming in nature and open spaces, such as mountains when they climb mountains, or on the beach, when they swim in the sea, or some were desperate to scream on the roofs of skyscrapers. They say it was beneficial to release emotions that have been pent up. After that, they could feel better emotionally. Jenqyih didn't know if it was true or just a placebo effect. Jenqyih had never tried it, so he didn't know for sure.

The kitchen door opened. Iren came out from behind the door. "How about the continuation of our plan? Are we going down that hole tonight? We have little time."

Jenqyih was surprised when he heard those words. He rolled his eyes at Iren. "You mean we're going to hide in that room in the hole?"

Shannchyuan laughed. "For the umpteenth time, I have to explain again about it."

Jenqyih straightened his back. He wanted to hear more clearly what Shannchyuan had to say.

"Isn't it obvious that Dahge wants us to hide out there," said Iren.

"Not quite like that. Hiding in the basement is only a last resort if we don't find another way. I mean, tonight we're just going to double-check the state of the room below. Not tonight going down there to hide."

"Then I'll get changed first. I can't possibly go down to the dungeons dressed like this." Jenqyih got up from the chair.

"Ah! You don't have to come. I want you to just rest. You must be exhausted by now. Not everyone has to come down to the dungeons," said Shannchyuan.

"Isn't Shinnshiow tired too?" Jenqyih said. "Doesn't he need to rest?"

"But Shinnshiow is not as tired as you," said Iren. "He's younger after all."

Jenqyih glared at Iren.

Shannchyuan patted Jenqyih on the shoulder. "Shinnshiow will only keep watch in the living room."

"How about the others?" Jenqyih asked.

"Yihshyong will guard the edge of the hole. So only Iren and I will go down there," said Shannchyuan.

"But I feel refreshed now. I'm ready for some action that requires energy. Checking the dungeons sure isn't a trifle." Jenqyih could no longer contain his curiosity. Since they entered the hole a few months ago, Jenqyih had wanted to repeat the action again. But because his friends didn't seem too enthusiastic, Jenqyih said nothing either.

Shannchyuan sighed. "All right! Then you stay on guard at the edge of the hole with Yihshyong. If we need you later, then we or Yihshyong will be called down to help."

After that, they went straight into the house. Shannchyuan and Iren then went to the shed to get two oxygen cylinders and a rope. Soon after that, they intended to check the conditions in that dungeon. Jenqyih was really excited. The drowsiness that had attacked him vanished.
