Ren He had, in essence, entered China from Nepal, and figuring out how to process these entry procedures had given everyone a headache for half a day. Usually, entry from Nepal is through Zhangmu Town, but it was rare for anyone to enter from Mount Everest...
But Ren He wasn't about to climb back because he didn't know how to handle the paperwork, was he? That would be utterly ridiculous. Climbing Mount Everest three times in a month and the last time, because he descended the north side, he couldn't handle the entry procedures? If that got out, it would be a laughingstock.
In the end, they found an agency to deal with all these matters. Ren He also found out through contacting An Si that everyone from the Qinghe Club had safely returned to the base camp and would be heading back to the country soon.
This journey to Mount Everest was a spiritual uplift for everyone involved, not just for those who reached the summit but also for Liu Erbao and An Si.
