Chapter 182 : Shimen Yihshyong

Hearing Iren's words, Yihshyong gasped. He ran into his bedroom. He picked up a folder lying on his desk. As soon as possible, Yihshyong immediately ran out of the room. He put his ass back where he had been sitting before.

"Let's check together," Yihshyong opened the folder he was carrying. He took out the photo that the kidnappers had sent them. Chioujen brought only two letters and a photo of Shinnshiow. Yihshyong kept the photo of the dark blue bag. They needed it to find the bag that was identical to the one in the photo.

Yihshyong was wide-eyed. It turned out that Iren's words were not wrong. The brand of the bag in the photo was clearly visible. It was exactly the same as what Jenqyih had just said.

<<I didn't pay attention to this at all. Fortunately, Rendi's eyes are quite observant.>>

"According to Shyongge, what should we do now?" Jenqyih cupped his palms in front of his mouth.

"Shall we tell Mr. Shiuander about this?" Yihshyong looked at his friends.

Jenqyih shook his head. "Is that a wise move? We don't know how Mr. Shiuander will react when he hears about it."

"Mr. Shiuander already knows about this incident. So I think if we tell him about this kidnapper's request, it's also okay," said Iren.

Yihshyong looked at Jongli Jyhren. Their guest looked so calm. Maybe he was used to dealing with situations like that.

Jenqyih's friend took a breath. His eyes stared back at Yihshyong. "In your opinion, is it difficult to find a bag that looks exactly like the one in this photo?"

"This is the first time I've heard of this brand. So I don't know whether bags like this are scarce," said Yihshyong.

"Mr. Shiuander did say that this brand is not well known here. It seems that it has just entered this city," said Jenqyih.

"We could wander all over the city looking for a bag that looks exactly like this. That way, I'm sure we'll be able to find what we're looking for. But doing things like that would take quite a bit of time," said Iren. "In both letters from the kidnappers, it is clearly stated that we must bring the ransom items tomorrow night. So if we go directly to the distributor, it will save a lot of time."

Yihshyong clenched his right palm. "I suggest we ask Mr. Shiuander to help us get the bag."

Jenqyih nodded. His brow furrowed. Yihshyong didn't know what his friend was thinking. But he was sure that Jenqyih would definitely put common sense in considering what steps they should take.

"Of course, before asking for his help, we should be frank with him about the things we're dealing with." Yihshyong continued his words.

"I agree with Mr. Shimen's proposal." Jongli Jyhren uttered those words at a fast tempo. "Your neighbor is already involved in this matter. It would be much better if you told him the truth. But you still have to sort out which things need to be said, and which things don't need to be said. You must always prioritize the need-to-know principle."

Yihshyong nodded. "I understand, Sir. We're only going to say what we need to say. I mean, the things that are directly related to why we asked him for help."

Yihshyong looked at his friends. Everyone presented nodded.

"If that's our decision, we'd better talk to Mr. Shiuander right now. If we put it off until tomorrow morning, it might be too late. He could have left very early." Iren looked at Yihshyong.

"Alright! I'm going to see Mr. Shiuander now." Yihshyong immediately got up from where he was sitting.

"Where are you going to meet him?" Iren asked.

"Of course at the bus stop in front of our housing complex. Didn't Jenqyih just say that he left Mr. Shiuander there?"

"Is it true he's still there now?"

"Earlier he said that he would still be there for some time. So it is very likely that he is still sitting there," said Jenqyih.

"Late at night like this, if he's no longer there, he's most likely already back home. So, I'm going to his house," Yihshyong said.

"I will accompany Shyongge!" Jenqyih also stood up.

"Please, don't!" Iren shook his head vigorously. "I think it's better if only one person goes to see Mr. Shiuander. If it's true that there are people watching us, then the two of you going to meet Mr. Shiuander might make them even more suspicious."

Yihshyong turned to Jongli Jyhren.

<<He must have had a lot of experience in this matter. He should be able to shed some light.>>

"Mr. Jongli," said Iren. "Do you think our landline is being tapped?"

Jongli Jyhren took a breath. He started to open his mouth. "I think there's still the possibility that the phone lines in this house have been tapped. But if that's the case, they don't do it here.

<<Maybe so. But that means things are getting harder for us to detect!>>

"As for whether there are people who are still keeping an eye on this house, I think that at this time there are no mysterious people who are watching this house."

"Is there no one at all?" Tsaehorng raised his eyebrows. The young man seemed doubtful of Jongli's words.

"As far as I can see, it's like that. However, of course, this is just my personal opinion. There is always the possibility that my estimates are not correct. So, there is no harm in being more careful."

"What about the police?" Yihshyong asked.

"Currently, the police are also only monitoring at the ends of the roads. But their number is more than enough.

Yihshyong nodded a few times. He was relieved to hear Jongli's explanation.

Tsaehorng suddenly stood up.

<<What will he do?>>

Yihshyong immediately opened his mouth. "Tsaehorng! Don't go home yet. Wait for me to come back after talking to Mr. Shiuander."

"What do you want to tell me, Uncle?"

"I don't know yet. I am just thinking that maybe I'll get some new information from Mr. Shiuander."

"Okay, Uncle." Tsaehorng nodded. The young man sat back down.

"I'll go now," Yihshyong said. He quickly moved closer to the living room door. He opened the door right away. Without wasting time, he moved quickly towards the fence of their house. Yihshyong opened the gate very carefully. He didn't want to make a sound loud enough to make anyone suspicious.
