They both said nothing else. After about three minutes, the curious Shinnshiow opened his mouth again. "So Yihge guessed all these things from a long time ago?"
"What I don't know is whether that person is in the same group as the two people he followed."
"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 remembered where they came from. Sometimes things like that happen. Before getting a promotion, it was not uncommon for workers to be confronted with strange things that suddenly happened around them. It was to test their integrity. So he felt Jenqyih's words were quite reasonable.
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?" asked Shinnshiow.
"First, we have to confirm that they are indeed following us."
"How to be sure?" Shinnshiow had never been in such a situation before. So he really doesn't know.
"Soon we will change buses. If they are still following, then we are indeed their target."
The bus then stops at a stop. Shinnshiow calculated that the number of passengers had increased. Several people got on the bus, but no one got off the bus.
"We'll get off at the next stop." Jenqyih's voice was barely audible.
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 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. Then the person who followed the two people also got off at the stop.
Just waiting less than three minutes, the bus came. This bus serves a different route from the previous bus. The route is a bit far. The size of the bus is also slightly bigger. Shinnshiow noticed that now Jenqyih looked more relaxed, not as tense as before. 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, don't they realize that someone is following them?" Shinnshiow asked in a whisper.
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 was amazed to hear Jenqyih's explanation. He did not expect that Jenqyih notices such things.
<<Yihge seemed to have some experience with these kinds of things. But so far, he has never told us. I hope sometime Yihge will share his knowledge with all of us.>>
"Where are we going to get off?"
"We need to lure them as far away from our friends as possible. So I'm planning to get off at the last stop on this route. I hope this isn't a problem for you," Jenqyih replied.
"Okay then. I'll follow all your plans."
Then the two of them sat in silence during the journey. Every second was eerie. Shinnshiow's heart was pounding.
<<Does this matter have anything to do with Songfei?>>
