Without wasting any time, they set off. The business friend of their neighbor was walking with such steady steps. Jingdu Shiowmin's age was roughly the same as Janji Shiuander. He seemed perfectly healthy.
"Is your friend really not using a driver?" Yihshyong asked Shiuander Janji. Their car was right behind Jingdu Shiowmin's car.
"He has a driver, but indeed, he often prefers to drive his car. So I think the driver is often has nothing to do." Shiuander Janji laughed.
The warehouse they were going to be was not too far from Jingdu Shiowmin's house. In less than fifteen minutes, they were there. The location was still in the city, but the atmosphere in that place differed from the atmosphere in other places in this city. The atmosphere in the place was quiet, like outside the city. It was the first time Iren had explored an area in this city that was still quiet. The other areas of the city were all densely populated.
The car they were traveling in entered the fence of a warehouse complex. After arriving at the yard of the warehouse complex, they could clearly see the place. It turned out to be an enormous warehouse. Not only that, there were a total of three buildings that were used as warehouses. Jingdu Shiowmin immediately led them into one of the warehouse buildings.
"All kinds of bags are stored in this warehouse." Jingdu Shiowmin said proudly when they were already inside one of the warehouses. Shiuander Janji's friend called one of his employees right away. Yihshyong showed the employee the photo of the bag.
"Bags like this still exist. But the exact blue color looks like it's out of stock," said the clerk at the warehouse.
"Shall we check first?" Shiuander Janji proposal.
They all then walked to the part of the warehouse where such bags were stored. After unpacking all the bags that were there, they did not find a bag that was exactly like the one in the photo. Just like what the employee said, there were still many bags of the same shape and size as the one in the photo, but in different colors.
Yihshyong looked down languidly. Iren didn't know what to say. It meant they had to go around the city looking for a bag like that.
"Earlier you said that today there will be a shipment of goods," Shiuander Janji said to Jingdu Shiowmin.
"Yes! It's true. According to the schedule, the goods will arrive after half-past twelve."
"Is there a bag like this among those things?" Yihshyong asked.
Jingdu Shiowmin turned to the warehouse clerk.
"Wait a minute, Sir! I'll check first," said the warehouse employee. He then disappeared outside the warehouse building.
"Where did he go?" Iren asked.
"We keep records of goods entering and leaving the warehouse in other building," Jingdu Shiowmin replied.
Earlier, they saw that apart from the three warehouses, there was a house located some distance away on the right. Iren suspected they stored the records in the house.
"What if we all just head over there?" Shiuander said Janji.
Jingdu Shiowmin then guided them to the house where the records of goods entering and leaving the warehouse were kept. When they got there, Jingdu Shiowmin's employee, who had accompanied them in the warehouse, was still busy collecting the files.
"Ah! Here it is!" The warehouse clerk cheered.
The warehouse clerk brought a piece of paper in front of them. He showed the contents of the sheet of paper.
"That's right, there will be a bag delivery like what you are looking for. There are eight colors in total, including blue as you want."
The warehouse clerk's words really relieved Iren and Yihshyong.
"That means we just have to wait until the goods arrive," said Shiuander Janji.
"It's just that usually the arrival time of the goods is not exactly the same as in the schedule. It usually arrives between half to an hour late," said Jingdu Shiowmin. "In fact, if I remember correctly, at that time, they were up to four hours late." Jingdu Shiowmin looked at his clerk.
The clerk nodded.
"It's all right, Sir!" Yihshyong said. "We'll wait for them."
Iren was relieved. Just like yesterday, the handover process for the ransom would take place after dark. So they still had enough time.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen," said Jingdu Shiowmin. "Right now, I have to talk to Mr. Shiuander for a while about business matters. So I can't accompany you, gentlemen."
"It's all right, Sir!" Yihshyong said. We can take a walk around here first."
Yihshyong then took Iren out of the building.
"Where are we going?" Iren asked.
"This morning I was in a rush, so I only ate a little. After all, we only ate leftover pizza last night. So at this hour I'm hungry again," Yihshyong replied.
Iren laughed at Yihshyong's words.
"You know what I mean," Yihshyong said.
"Let's find a small shop or restaurant," said Iren. "The goods will arrive at maybe twelve or even one o'clock. So we can go around the area first."
The two of them then exited the warehouse complex. After walking about three hundred meters, they saw a stall selling food.
"How about we just eat there?" Iren asked.
"What food do they sell?"
"I don't know. Let's get closer so we can see more clearly," answered Iren.
It turned out the shop only sold snacks. Iren and Yihshyong had to walk again to find a place to satisfy their hunger. They walk again. This time it was even further, about five hundred meters. Maybe further than that because they met a few turns. They cheered when they found a quite large restaurant. With light steps, the two of them immediately approached the place.
"Do you remember the way back to the warehouse earlier?" Yihshyong asked suddenly.
Iren flinched at the question.
"I don't forget, but maybe not a hundred percent remember," said Iren. "Does Shyongge not remember either?"
"Well? Then how are we going to get back there?"
"Never mind! That's a matter for later. What's important now is that we eat first," said Iren.
They then entered the restaurant. They sat down at a table in the corner. Beside them was an immense window. Iren and Yihshyong could see out of the window.
The waiter came and brought them the list of food. At that time, the atmosphere of the restaurant was still quiet. Only the two of them were there. After they finished ordering their food, they waited quietly at the table.
"This area is very quiet. Don't you think they have nothing to lose by opening a restaurant as large as this one here?" Yihshyong said.
Iren agreed with Yihshyong. Even at lunchtime, he predicted the place wouldn't be too crowded either.
"But we don't know about this area yet. Maybe there are factories or other places of business around here," said Iren.
"I don't think factory workers eat in restaurants like this," Yihshyong said.
Less than five minutes later, their entire order had arrived. They eat voraciously. Yihshyong even ordered another serving of rice. Iren laughed at seeing Yihshyong. Yihshyong seemed so starving.
After they finished eating, they didn't go anywhere. It was still early, not even eleven o'clock. Because they were full, they were lazy to walk everywhere. After paying for the food, they decided to sit there for a while.
"I'm sleepy now," Yihshyong said. "How about you?"
"I'm also a little sleepy," replied Iren. "But I don't eat as much as Shyongge, so I'm not as sleepy as Shyongge."
"Then I'll sleep here for a bit. You'll wake me up when it's twelve." After saying that, Yihshyong laid his head on the table straight away.
Iren looked out the window that was right beside him. It was not like before. Now the streets were getting crowded. Iren did not know what caused it. He observed the people and vehicles that passed that road. Ten minutes later, he was bored. A feeling of drowsiness began to creep over him. But Iren couldn't sleep. If the two of them slept there until the afternoon, then there would be trouble. So by holding back the drowsiness, Iren kept trying to observe the scenery outside the window.
Suddenly, Iren felt like he was electrocuted. There was something out there that he didn't expect at all.
"Shyongge, Shyongge! Let's wake up!" Iren shouted while shaking Yihshyong's body.
Yihshyong raised his head. He opened his eyes. "Why are you shouting? Is it twelve o'clock now? It's only been a flash!"
"Look at that!" Iren said, still in a loud voice. He pointed across the street.
Yihshyong directed his gaze in the direction indicated by Iren. At first, he didn't react. But then he started rubbing his eyes. It was as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"What is Dahge doing there?" Yihshyong spoke softly.
Across the street stood a figure. A figure that was very similar to Duanmuh Shannchyuan.
