Chapter 076
Shimen Yihshyong
Yihshyong held his breath. He saw a hint of doubt flashed in Jinqkang's eyes when the young man said that.
"Are you sure it was the car that collided with the motorbike in front of the grocery store?" Yihshyong wanted to know how sure Jinqkang was of what he had just witnessed.
"The model and color are the same," said Jinqkang. "But I'm not too sure. Besides the distance is too far, I only saw for a short time. If at the time of the incident I was standing right on the side of the road, perhaps I would be able to answer with a higher degree of certainty."
Not enough evidence. That means we haven't been able to make this kid's statement a conclusion. But at least it's valuable enough to be a clue.
"We will discuss that later. Currently, there are other things that are our priority," said Iren.
Yihshyong nodded. He tapped their driver on the shoulder. "Mr. Gongshi, how do we get out of here? I'm afraid the car is currently stopping at the end of the road behind us. If we exit through the mouth of this alley behind us, they'll definitely see us."
"We also can't stay here for too long," said Iren. "If the car passes back the road behind us, there is a possibility they will see us."
"We're going forward, Sir!" Gongshi answered so quickly.
"Isn't this a dead end?" Iren raised his eyebrows. It was clear that the road ahead of them indeed ended in front of a tightly closed garage. Their distance from the garage door was around thirty meters.
"Don't worry, Sir!" Gongshi smiled widely. He started the car again. Their car then advanced to the front of the garage. Immediately after getting out of the car, Gongshi took out a key from his pocket. With that key, he opened the garage door.
"Eh? What is this place?" Yihshyong turned to Iren.
"There's no point in you asking me," Iren said.
Quickly, Gongshi returned to enter the car. He prepared to put the car in the garage.
"Mr. Gongshi," Yihshyong said.
"Please be patient for a moment, Sir. I will explain soon," said Gongshi. "Now I put our car in the garage in front of us first."
Gongshi ran the car into the garage. After that, he came out again of the car to close and lock the garage door from inside.
"Gentlemen. Please get off here." Gongshi smiled from outside.
Yihshyong, Iren, and Jinqkang looked at each other.
"I think Mr. Gongshi already has a certain plan. We should just follow it," said Iren. "He definitely knows better the ins and outs of the streets here."
"I don't mind things like this. I'm just a little worried that this kind of obstacle will make us late in the park," Yihshyong said.
"We have no other choice," said Iren. "Luckily, we left earlier. So we still have time."
Yihshyong looked at Jinqkang. "What do you think?"
This kid suddenly became quiet. Is there something suspicious?
Jinqkang nodded. "Mr. Shimen, I thought you wanted to leave earlier because you had expected things like this."
"We're leaving early because I know nothing about the layout of the park. So I want to get there as soon as possible so I can have a look around the place before it's time for the ransom to be handed over."
"Gentlemen. Please get out of the car." Gongshi repeated his words.
The three of them got out of the car. Yihshyong tried to guess what would happen next. But his mind was deadlocked.
"Now, we will change cars," said Gongshi. The old man's face looked excited.
So he's enjoying this?
The elderly man led them to walk along the garage.
"Careful, Sir! It's a bit dark in here," said Gongshi.
Lighting in that place was so minimal. Indeed, there were some lights that turn on. But the light that radiated out was just dim. Fortunately, Gongshi brought a flashlight whose light was so bright.
Yihshyong looked around them. He realized the garage was actually a continuation of the alley. So it could be said, the garage was built by covering the top of some parts of the alley. The building was so long. It made sense because the place was actually the alley where their car was turning sharply.
After walking about a hundred yards, they came to the other end of the garage. They saw a sedan parked there. Gongshi reached into his pocket. He took out a car key. After opening the front door, he got into the car without the slightest hesitation.
According to Mr. Gongshi's confession, earlier Tsaehorng did not have time to talk at length about the things Mr. Gongshi had to do. So is it entirely this old man's improvisation?
From inside the car, Gongshi unlocked the other doors of the car.
Iren and Jinqkang turned to Yihshyong.
Why are they looking at me like that? Ah! Of course, because now I'm the leader.
"Gentlemen, please come in!" Gongshi's voice sounded so friendly, yet firm at the same time.
Without saying any words, the three of them got into the car. Their position was exactly the same as when they were in the previous car. Jinqkang was in the front while Iren and Yihshyong sat in the back.
"Wait a minute, Sir! I start the engine first," said Gongshi.
Yihshyong nodded. "Please, Sir."
"The car also can't leave immediately, Sir. I think it will take us about three minutes for the car to be ready to drive on the road," said Gongshi.
Yihshyong and Iren nodded. They just smiled, said nothing. Jinqkang instead froze in his seat while staring outside.
After starting the car, Gongshi then got out of the car.
"What did he do?" Iren asked.
Gongshi opened the garage door in front of them.
"Is this the place belonging to the Mingju Family?" Yihshyong poked Jinqkang's shoulder.
"I don't know, Sir! I haven't worked for Mr. Tsaehorng for a long time. Only about three months. Obviously I could not be compared to Mr. Gongshi, who had been more than forty years of serving them."
Gongshi was back again. The old man smiled at them. He started the car. The car came out through the garage door that Gongshi had just opened.
What if the car that was following us, is currently running around in this area? Although we have changed vehicles, but those people could still recognize us or the driver of this car.
Arriving outside, Gongshi stopped the car again. He got out of the car to close and lock the garage door from the outside. Now they were in another alley, which was exactly the same as the one they had left. It was clear that these two alleys were actually the same alley, which was interrupted by a long garage.
"Let's wait about a minute, Sir!" Gongshi said.
"Okay!" Yihshyong nodded quickly.
Luckily, we still have time. Hopefully, there will be no other obstacles that will befall us after this.
"Perhaps you are surprised by what just happened," said Gongshi. "Now allow me to explain a little."
The old man took a deep breath.
So much experience he has. It's a shame if he doesn't have the intention to pour things like this into a memoir.
"This alley and garage are the property of the Mingju Family. Their function is to deal with emergency and unexpected things. Examples are like what we just experienced."
No wonder this old man did not hesitate to turn into the alley at high speed. It turns out that all of this is indeed the Mingju family property. But still there was a possibility that there were people in the alley, for example, homeless people who were sheltering.
"But what if someone was in the alley?" Iren suddenly cut off Gongshi's words.
Maybe it's not a big problem. If this old man crashed into homelessness, who happened to be in the alley, with the influence of Mingju's family, it might not get to the court.
"Iren," said Yihshyong. "Let Mr. Gongshi finish his speech."
"Sorry, Shyongge." Iren bowed respectfully in a sitting position. "Sorry, Mr. Gongshi."
"It's all right, Sir," said Gongshi. "That was a gamble for me too. I also can't be sure that this alley will always be empty."
Yihshyong, Iren, and Jinqkang nodded at Gongshi's explanation.
Luckily, everything went the way he wanted.
"Is this your own initiative, or did Mr. Tsaehorng order you?" Iren leaned forward.
"As I said earlier, Mr. Tsaehorng didn't have time to say much on the phone. But before he hung up, he said three specific words. The words are secret codes to carry out an instruction about what I have to do if an emergency occurs. In essence, young master Tsaehorng ordered me to change cars if certain things happened that threatened the safety of the passengers. Earlier I saw we were being followed. I tried to lead our stalker to this area. After confirming that we were indeed being followed, then I carried out this plan."
"Wow! This is very stressful. But anyway, we thank you," said Yihshyong.
"I'm just doing my job, Sir," said Gongshi. "All right! I think we can move on now!"
"What about the car that was following us?" Jinqkang, who had not been talking much, this time opened his mouth.
"I can only hope that the car has left the area around here, Sir," said Gongshi.
In other words, may luck still is on our side.
Gongshi started running the car. Their distance to the end of the alley was about fifty meters. Immediately, they arrived at the end of the alley. The car turned left. The road turned out to be a one -way road. Just like the other end of the alley, the distance was only a few meters from the big road. In a short time, the vehicle they were traveling in had returned to the big road.
After deviating slightly from the original direction, the car returned to the right direction, namely Chyhjoong Park. At an intersection, they stopped. While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Yihshyong looked around their car.
Even though they were quite far from their house, Yihshyong saw some familiar things. Just like some of the other crossroads in Pyngyuan and the surrounding areas, there were also many hawkers at the crossroads.
Many of the hawkers were selling their merchandise aggressively to the passengers in the car when the car stopped at the intersection. Things like that were sometimes very disturbing. But it was a reality that people must face. The items they offered were very diverse. Starting from children's toys, stationery, body hygiene products, to small electronic devices. Some even offered a raft made of plastic. The raft must be filled with air. The way it works was similar to swimming tires or floaties used by children when they learn to swim.
Life is hard. I think we should be grateful that our lives are so much better than most of the people in this city.
The traffic lights turned green. Gongshi started running the car. Their car would run straight across the intersection. Everything looked safe. Their journey would take place smoothly. However, suddenly, on the right, there was a car that drove at high speed.
Are they crazy or what? Speeding on the road like this!
Gongshi tried to put the brakes on the vehicle, but nobody knew what was in the mind of the driver of the car that drove fast. He instead slammed the steering wheel to the left. Both cars then collided. Not only that. Because Gongshi braked suddenly, the car behind them did not have time to brake. The car crashed into their car from behind. Even though the crashing sound was not very loud, Yihshyong felt a tremendous shock.
