Chapter 179 : Nangong Iren

Chioujen continued his speech. "There's a connecting door between the back of the flower shop and the back of the juice shop. So we can go into the flower shop, then into the room behind it, then through the connecting door to enter the inside of the juice shop."

"I see what you mean," Jenqyih said. "But, if people often pass the path, then many people would already know."

"I think very few people know. The toilets for visitors in the two shops are not located at the back. So no one deliberately enters the room on the inside," Chioujen said.

"Then how did you find out about this?" Iren asked.

"Regarding that question, I choose not to answer," Chioujen said. "All I can say is that I've been inside. So I know about it."

<<Is it just me or is Chioujen really weird? Whatever he's hiding, I hope he's one hundred percent honest with Dahge.>>

"Then, how about you're the one who will bring these two letters there?" Yihshyong said. "Do you all agree?"

Everyone just nodded. No one objected to Yihshyong's proposal.

"Besides, you haven't lived here in quite a while. So, your face is most likely quite foreign to the members of the gang." Yihshyong looked at Chioujen.

"But since last night I've been in and out of this house, so they should also be aware of who I am," said Chioujen.

"At least your face is still stranger than the rest of us," said Iren.

Chioujen sighed. "Okay! I'll be the one going there."

"Wait," said Jinqkang. "Isn't this suspicious? The kidnappers aren't stupid. If in the middle of the night like this, one of us was wandering outside, wouldn't they be alert right away?"

"What if we send more than one person?" Tsaehorng opened his mouth again. This time, he suddenly made a suggestion.

"What if you explain more clearly?" said Iren.

"Aren't we worried that the people who are watching this house will try to follow the people who get out of here?" said Tsaehorng. "So, what if two or three people get out of here at about the same time? Wouldn't something like this confuse them a bit?"

"What if there are a lot of them? So they can share tasks to follow each of us," said Iren.

"I think I can add a little more," Chioujen said. "The point of this action is that we are all having a hard time sleeping right now because we have strange things to think about."

Chioujen stopped talking for a while.

<<Time flies so fast, you better not stall!>>

Chioujen continued his words. "So, if only one person went out of the house, they could be suspicious. But if there were several people out of the house, it might actually look natural. In a state of confusion and tension like this, it makes sense if we walk around a way out to just relax the muscles and refresh the mind. Drinking juice at a juice shop that is open twenty-four hours is not unusual. Strolling around the housing complex at night is also natural for people who are stressed."

Everyone nodded at Chioujen's explanation.

"I think this is a good idea," Yihshyong said. "Mr. Jongli, what do you think?"

"I think that makes a lot of sense."

"Then let me go out before Chioujen," Jenqyih said.

"I don't mind going out again either," said Jinqkang.

Iren looked at Yihshyong.

<<Shyongge must quickly make a decision.>>

"Okay," said Yihshyong. "But I think Jenqyih is better out of the house last."

"Oh!" Jenqyih only let out a short exclamation.

Yihshyong looked at Jinqkang with sharp eyes. "So you're going to walk out first. Just like before, you go to the grocery store. But you have to be very careful. A night like this, the grocery store must be so quiet. So it's almost impossible if you go there pretending to be just looking around."

"Okay, Sir! Later, I will buy something there," said Jinqkang.

"You have to be in that grocery store for at least fifteen minutes," Yihshyong said.

Jinqkang nodded. He looked very excited.

"Then it's Chioujen's turn. About five minutes after Jinqkang left, you followed out. After arriving at the flower shop, you immediately went inside. I had the impression that the police had taken over the place. So the person manning the shop won't ask you much when you suddenly enter the inner room."

"Isn't there a special code or cipher that Chioujen has to say?" Iren turned his gaze to Yihshyong. Previously, Jinqkang had to say some special words before giving the kidnappers' message to the police.

"No need. I think that currently the only police are guarding the room at the back of the shop," Yihshyong said. "Besides, the police already know Chioujen's face."

Chioujen nodded.

"Then lastly, Jenqyih," Yihshyong said. "You left this house five minutes after Chioujen left. It's up to you where you want to walk. But don't go too far."

Jenqyih nodded. A small smile graced his face.

<<I hope he will not go too far.>>

Yihshyong gave two letters from the kidnapper to Chioujen. Chioujen briefly looked at the two letters. He then tucked the two letters into his shirt pocket.

"The police said what time we should be there?" Iren asked.

"Soon," Yihshyong said.

"In that case, I'll just leave now, Sir," said Jinqkang.

"Okay!" Yihshyong said.

Jinqkang immediately walked forward. He opened the door and immediately disappeared behind the door.

"Chioujen. You're leaving in five minutes," Yihshyong said.

After that, it was quiet. They all waited for the time to pass with tense faces.

"Five minutes have passed," said Iren.

Chioujen stood up. "I'm leaving now."

Yihshyong nodded. He also stood up. The two of them then headed together towards the front door. Yihshyong opened the door and, together with Chioujen, stepped out of their living room. Two minutes later, Yihshyong came back. Apparently, he escorted Chioujen all the way to the gate. After that, he might look around for a while outside the house.

Jenqyih looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

"Three more minutes," said Iren.

Their faces looked very tense. Jinqkang looked like he was counting every time the long hand of the clock changed positions.

"It's about time," said Jinqkang.

Jenqyih stood up. He patted Yihshyong's shoulder. "Shyongge doesn't need to take me out. I'd rather be alone."

Yihshyong nodded. "Don't worry. We will wait for you all to come back. Only then we can eat these pizzas together."

Jenqyih smiled widely. He hastened into the living room. In an instant, he was standing at the door and ready to open it. Just as Jenqyih's hand touched the doorknob, there was a fairly loud voice .

Ring!

Their phone was ringing!
