After finishing eating, Shannchyuan briefly went into his bedroom. When he came out of the bedroom again, he asked Yinqyueh to follow him into the room.
"What's wrong Uncle" Yinqyueh looked at Shannchyuan after they were inside the bedroom. Shannchyuan was relieved that the girl looked relaxed.
"Sheautyan, I have something important to tell you." Shannchyuan then sat on the bed. On the bed lay the things he would take with them if they had to go somewhere safe.
Yinqyueh then sat on the chair next to Shannchyuan's bed. "Let me help Uncle with these things."
"No need," said Shannchyuan. "I want you to just listen to what I have to say."
Yinqyueh nodded. But her face looked doubtful.
"Given the current situation, we probably won't be going to Dahfeysi Tower tomorrow."
Yinqyueh nodded. She didn't interrupt Shannchyuan's words.
Shannchyuan stopped talking. Looking up at the ceiling, he sighed. The middle-aged man got up and walked over to the wardrobe. He opened the cupboard and took out some clothes. Returning to the bed, he continued his speech. "Are you sure you don't want to go to your family's place right away?"
"Don't I still have three days?"
"True, but under these circumstances..."
"If I went to their place now, I don't think it would solve the problem either. What if the bad guys followed me there? I'm worried that my arrival will cause problems not only for me but also for my family." Yinqyueh persisted in not wanting to be with her family.
Realizing this, Shannchyuan could only shake his head.

"Okay then. But you must obey what I say. I want you to always stay by my side. Don't go anywhere. We don't know what will happen next."
Yinqyueh nodded her head.
Shannchyuan pointed to Yinqyueh's backpack, which was propped up in one corner of the room. "Is that all your stuff?"
"Of course not only that. I still have a lot of stuff that I put in one room in my relative's house. All that stuff, I can't possibly take it with me."
"I mean, is that backpack the only thing you will bring to live with your family in this town? Is there anything else?" Shannchyuan clarified his question.
"Of course it's not just the bag. There are some things that will be sent to my relatives' place here. They will be packaged into this city. But they will not be here in a week or so."
"Oh," Shannchyuan replied curtly.
"Then what should I do now?"
Shannchyuan had already finished packing his things. He said softly. "You'd better get some sleep now. I don't know when we should leave yet. I want you to be in good shape when we have to leave this place."
Yinqyueh looked like she wanted to say something. But Shannchyuan didn't give her a chance to say more. "Well, please just do as I say. Didn't you promise me earlier? Now you just sleep in this bed. Tonight, I still have a lot of things to do."
Fortunately, then Yinqyueh actually obeyed Shannchyuan's words. She didn't argue anymore.
Shannchyuan left the room and walked towards the living room. Iren and Yihshyong were also sitting on the sofa there. At that time, they were waiting for Shinnshiow and Jenqyih to return. They didn't know what time Jenqyih would be home, but they could predict that Shinnshiow would arrive home before Jenqyih.
To pass the time, they watched television. In this gigantic city, there were many television channels. So many choices of shows that they could enjoy. But at that time, they were not in the mood to watch television. They stared at the program presented on television with a blank stare. Shannchyuan looked around him. Just like at dinner last night, at that moment, they all, including himself, were busy thinking in their own minds.
About an hour later, Shinshiow arrived home. As soon as the door opened, Shinnshiow rushed in. He looked pale. His body moved shakily. He quickly threw himself onto the sofa in the living room. Iren stood up and walked towards the kitchen. In an instant, he was walking back into the living room with a glass of water in his hand. He handed the glass of water to Shinnshiow, who immediately gulped down the water in the glass. Shinnshiow then looked at his left palm. Shannchyuan could clearly see that part of Shinshiow's left palm was darker. There seemed to be a liquid that had now dried up, smearing the palm of the hand. Still silent, he stood up and walked to the bathroom.
Shannchyuan, Iren, and Yihshyong looked at each other. They realized that something extraordinary had happened to Shinnshiow. They left Shinnshiow alone to give him time to cool off. Five minutes later, Shinnshiow came out of the bathroom and immediately went into the bedroom. After that, he came out again with clothes. He then went back into the bathroom. It turned out that Shinnshow decided to take a shower first before saying anything to his friends.
The three people then waited patiently in the living room. About fifteen minutes later, Shinnshiow had finished bathing. He briefly entered the bedroom. A moment later, he came out. He walked into the living room right away to gather with his three friends.
Shinnshiow sat on the sofa. He looked at the faces of his friends one by one. Then slowly, he began to tell what he had experienced since he left the house with Jenqyih this afternoon. The three friends listened to Shinnshiow's story with serious faces. Shannchyuan saw that Iren and Yihshyong were wide-eyed when Shinnshiow recounted in detail what had happened to him.
"Then who hurt that person?" Iren jumped while half screaming.
Shinnshiow shook his head. He looked so tired and worried.

Shannchyuan scratched his head, which didn't really itch.
