Driven to Desperation

Shen Zhilie did as he was told. Upon exiting the alley, he saw the same group of old men. Their heads turned in unison toward him before they looked away and ignored him thereafter.
Shen Zhilie walked toward the left. He anxiously glanced around at his surroundings and quickened the pace of his steps. His heart tightened. The man was probably intending to settle everything in one go at the location he was leading him to.
Shen Zhilie still hadn't disconnected the call, and asked, "Are you here to get the item from me?"
"Why are you asking me that? Just keep walking!"
Shen Zhilie lowered his head and kept walking ahead.
"Turn right."
The raspy and unpleasant voice commanded Shen Zhilie to change directions. Shen Zhilie had a hunch that the man was just nearby at that moment and was observing his every action, but just where was he? Shen Zhilie looked around at his surroundings but couldn't find anything suspicious.
