Chapter 068
Shimen Yihshyong
The strange thing he had just heard made Yihshyong glance at Chioujen. Less than two seconds, he turned to look at Jenqyih. The expressions on the faces of the two people who had just put forward the controversial theory looked normal. They didn't look like people who were joking. Yihshyong couldn't tell if they had any good reason to make that assumption.
Jenqyih's old friend is a member of the secret society, so Jenqyih might have received some news from him. A piece of news that might have made him suspect Tsaehorng. But, if that is the case, showing suspicion in front of Tsaehorng is an unreasonable thing!
Regarding Chioujen, since yesterday Yihshyong had felt something odd. At least, that's the impression Yihshyong got when he saw his friend's behavior. Even though Shannchyuan had tried to convince him that Chioujen had always been like that, Yihshyong still felt that there was something strange about Chioujen.
Could it be that Dahge actually knew that there were things that Chioujen was hiding. He said that on purpose so that I wouldn't try to dig further.
Yihshyong couldn't rule out the possibility that before arriving at their house, Chioujen had realized some things that even the others had not. Yesterday, he insisted on going down to the dungeon exactly that very night. Yihshyong guessed Chioujen used the opportunity to tell Shannchyuan what he knew. If this is true, then Shannchyuan must also have a good reason to keep it a secret, and not directly share the information with other friends.
So many things I don't know about the people who live in this house!
"Wow! This is very interesting." Duanmuh Jinqkang opened his mouth. The young man's eyes lit up.
Uh? Is he serious?
"Right! Uncle Jongharng and Uncle Dongfang's words were indeed quite reasonable. If I don't know myself, there's a chance I'll suspect myself too." Tsaehorng laughed. He looked at the people around him, one after another.
This kid is really weird! Or it could be that, in this city, this kind of behavior is natural for young people who are the same age as him.
"You were the one who led us to suspect you," said Iren.
"I think we've had enough joking," Jenqyih said. He laughed bitterly. "Now let's see what happens at four o'clock this afternoon."
Luckily, they were just kidding! It means, I was thinking too much.
Yihshyong looked away at the wall in the room. Various things quickly went on and on in his mind.
But is it true that they are not suspicious of Tsaehorng at all? Even though they say it's a joke, it's possible that they don't really trust Tsaehorng!
Yihshyong couldn't shake the doubts that were swimming freely in his mind.
"Shyongge! Never mind! Don't think about it too much. We'll see how this goes on. The police must also be prepared to deal with various possibilities," said Iren.
Yihshyong woke up from his daydream. "I'm not thinking about that. A lot of other rights are bothering me right now."
This is not right! Tsaehorng has helped us a lot. We shouldn't have bad thoughts about this kid.
"It's best if Shyongge doesn't make all of that a burden, either. You don't need to think about it," said Jenqyih. "Let's just do the best we can do."
Yihshyong just smiled bitterly at Jenqyih's words. He said nothing more. The situation was silent for a while.
"Is the atmosphere in the mall so crowded?" Yihshyong broke the silence.
"That place is always full of visitors," said Iren.
"I mean," Yihshyong continued. "Are there more visitors than usual? Or is it a little quieter?"
Jenqyih smiled. "Maybe Shyongge thought that because a few days ago something extraordinary happened there that people decided not to go to that place for a while. But reality proves otherwise. I think the atmosphere there is very lively. Like nothing had happened before."
"Right." Iren nodded. "In fact, it seems a little busier than usual."
"The people in this city are no different from the people in our hometown. The mall is a place for recreation." Jenqyih laughed. "They really weren't worried about that strange incident a few days ago."
"But, it makes sense." Jinqkang joined in. "It's almost impossible for the same thing to happen again there. So people must think it's a safe place."
"But in fact it really happened," said Iren. "This really doesn't make any sense."
"There must be a logical explanation for all that," said Tsaehorng. "It's just, it might take quite a bit of time to be able to reveal everything."
"After this, maybe people don't dare to come there anymore," said Iren. "At least for the time being."
"Not necessarily like that," said Jenqyih. "You know the people in our hometown. There's almost nothing that can scare them away from visiting a place. I see that some people's mentality here is like that."
"We'll see," said Yihshyong.
After that, it was quiet again. Everyone was busy thinking. Yihshyong couldn't guess what his friends were thinking.
"Sorry Uncle. I want to see Juger. I want to know how he is." Tsaehorng's voice broke the silence. "Since arriving here, I haven't had the chance to say hello to him."
Earlier, Tsaehorng had asked about Juger's condition. However, as they later became engrossed in a conversation about other matters, Juger's matter was forgotten. Yihshyong could see the guilt on Tsaehorng's face.
"Go ahead," Yihshyong replied. "But I think he's still sleeping."
"It's okay, Uncle. I'll have to see for myself how he's doing. If it's true that he's not getting better, then he should receive a proper medical treatment."
Iren rose from his seat to lead Tsaehorng to the bedroom where Juger rested.
"You two come with me." Yihshyong looked at Chioujen and Jenqyih. Without waiting for the answer from his two friends, he immediately walked to the terrace in the backyard. Chioujen and Jenqyih followed him. They left Jinqkang alone.
"What's wrong, Shyongge?" asked Chioujen.
"Can you find a vehicle we can use later?" Yihshyong looked at Chioujen.
"Okay," said Chioujen. "Time is running out, but I'll try."
"If we can't get a rental car in such a short time, we can take a taxi to a place that the kidnappers will decide later," Yihshyong said.
"Wait a minute." Jenqyih frowned. "Shyongge, won't the police help us by providing a vehicle?"
Yihshyong shook his head. "Didn't the police say anything about this to you?"
Jenqyih and Chioujen shook their heads.
"Is it safe now that I use the phone to find a car?" Chioujen asked.
"I think it's okay," Yihshyong said. "Even if the crooks tapped our phones, they'd know we were just looking for a vehicle."
"I'll call now," Chioujen said.
"Not now," Yihshyong said. "Later, as soon as they leave."
Chioujen nodded. He didn't say anything about Yihshyong's last words.
Jenqyih looks confused. "Are they going somewhere soon?" He looked sharply at his friends.
Yihshyong nodded. "After seeing Mr. Juger's worrying condition, I'm sure Tsaehorng will soon decide to take him to the hospital."
"Oh! Is it really that bad?" asked Jenqyih.
Yihshyong shrugged. "I'm not a doctor, of course I don't know how serious Mr. Juger's illness is. But from what I've seen, it's clear that he's in much worse condition than this morning. Immediately taking him to the hospital is the most logical choice."
The three of them went back into the house. Iren and Tsaehorng were still in the room where Juger was resting.
"They've been in there for a long time," Jenqyih muttered. "Was it difficult to wake Mr. Juger? Could it be that his condition is already so bad?"
A few seconds after Jenqyih finished saying that, Iren came out of the room. His face looked so tense. About two minutes later, Tsaehorng followed out of the room. His face looked sluggish.
"I think I should take him to the doctor," said Tsaehorng.
"Do you want to go now?" Jenqyih asked while holding a glass.
"But things like this...." It was obvious that Tsaehorng was hesitating.
"You don't have to think about us. There are already police on standby. You just take Juger to the hospital as soon as possible," Yihshyong said.
Tsaehorng still looked doubtful.
"I'll be on guard here, Sir! Don't worry," said Jinqkang.
"Of course you have to be on guard here. If you're not around, what if the kidnappers want to talk to Uncle Duanmuh again?" said Tsaehorng.
"All right, Sir." Jingkang's face changed slightly. But he nodded vigorously.
Ah! Maybe he hadn't thought that he might have to do that more than once.
"Shyongge," Chioujen joined in. "What if I accompany them to the hospital?"
Uh? Chioujen volunteered to help. Perhaps he wants to make sure that Tsaehorng will actually take Juger to the hospital. Maybe he is still filled with suspicion for the boy.
If Yihshyong's guess was correct, he could understand what was going on in Chioujen's mind regarding the matter. Unlike the other occupants of their house, Chioujen had never met Tsaehorng before. So he really had no reason to just trust Tsaehorng.
Iren shook his head. "Out of all of us here, your analytical skills are the best. You'd better be here observing everything from here. So I think you'll be more useful if you're in this house. At least for now." He looked at Yihshyong, as if seeking Yihshyong's approval.
Yihshyong nodded.
Chioujen is really smart. But I'm afraid he couldn't hide well what he's thinking.
"Jenqyih, I think you should accompany them to the hospital." Yihshyong drew closer to Jenqyih. He tapped his friend's shoulder.
"Okay!" Jenqyih said. "I think it's because I'm the biggest. Isn't that right?"
Iren smiled. "Of course not. I guess that's because there's no point in you being here. If you're the one who's going, you can at least help Tsaehorng carry Juger."
Jenqyih glared at Iren. Iren just laughed.
Yihshyong turned to look at Tsaehorng. The boy looked confused for a moment. There was a possibility that he was reluctant to trouble Jenqyih. But Jenqyih immediately patted him on the shoulder, laughing.
Yihshyong smiled. Then he turned his gaze to Chioujen. From the look on Chioujen's face, it seemed he was a bit disappointed.
Maybe Chioujen wants me to disapprove of Iren's suggestion.
Yihshyong understood that Chioujen really wanted to accompany Juger to the hospital. Even though he suspected Chioujen had suspicions about Tsaehorng, Yihshyong still couldn't guess what was really going on in Chioujen's mind.
All suspicions must have a basis. Chioujen is a very rational person. There must be something he's hiding.
Yihshyong realized Chioujen was a very smart person. Maybe even a little smarter than Shannchyuan. He could only hope that whatever Chioujen had planned, he would carry it out with great care. Yihshyong wanted Chioujen to consider all possibilities before taking any action. Whatever the action.
"You'd better get going now. Don't delay any longer." Yihshyong glanced at the clock on the wall.
Tsaehorng nodded. "Alright, Uncle."
Jenqyih, Jinqkang, and Tsaehorng then went into the room where Juger was resting. It wasn't long before they left the room with Juger. Tsaehorng's driver's face looked very pale. But he could still walk without the help of others, although he had to trudge.
This is the right decision. We should have taken this person to the hospital since this morning.
"Uncles, we are leaving now," said Tsaehorng.
Yihshyong nodded.
Tsaehorng said again. "Regarding the vehicle, Uncles, please don't worry. I will call my assistant to send another car and driver here as soon as possible. As for the person who will draw the sketch of the girl's face, I will also try to call him later. If he can't come this afternoon, maybe tomorrow morning he will show up here."
Chioujen and Jenqyih turned to Yihshyong.
We don't have to worry about the vehicle anymore.
"No need to rush. Aren't they all busy," said Iren. "Just focus your efforts on the things that are now a priority."
"It's all right, Uncle. It's an emergency. I'll try to get the car here by four o'clock."
"You don't have to push yourself too hard. We all understand. Don't worry. After all, we are very grateful to you," said Iren.
They all escorted Tsaehorng, Jenqyih, and Juger to the car. Juger was still able to smile and thank them all.
"Ah! I almost forgot, Uncle." Tsaehorng opened the trunk of the car. He took several bags from the trunk. Tsaehorng gave Songfei's bag to Yihshyong and handed two small bags to Iren.
"I forgot too," said Iren. "The incident just now really made us forget the things we should have done right away."
They then helped put the Juger into the back seat. Jenqyih sat in the front seat while Tsaehorng started the car. After everything was ready, the vehicle drove away from their house straight away.
"What happened to that person?"
