Chioujen, with a pounding heart, walked into the building. He kept walking all the way to the reception desk. There he saw Hannrong sitting. The young man seemed to be working as usual.
"Good morning, sir!" Hannrong greeted in a friendly manner.
"Good Morning Hannrong." Chioujen smiled.
"How are you now? Are you full?"
Chioujen hoped it wasn't a trick question Hannrong had deliberately asked to see his reaction.
"I only had a little breakfast. This morning I have a bit of a lack of appetite. But as soon as I walked back here, my appetite suddenly came back. So maybe I should eat some more soon. Hahaha..." Chioujen laughed hard.
This is the right excuse!
Chioujen praised himself.
I don't have to pretend I'm full because, in reality, I'm starving right now!
Hannrong nodded his head. He also laughed at Chioujen's words. "I have something to report, sir!"
"About what?" Chioujen's heart was pounding again.
"It turns out that your suspicions are correct. The person trapped in the elevator was Mr. Duanmuh. He wasn't even alone in the elevator. There were other people there too."
Hannrong began to talk about what had happened. Even though Chioujen already knew everything, he still had to be willing to listen to Hannrong's story to the end. It was unreasonable for Chioujen to refuse to listen to what Hannrong had to say. So Chioujen stood there for about ten minutes, listening to Hannrong's ramblings. Every now and then, Chioujen would interrupt to ask something he didn't seem to understand clearly.
"It's great that Dahge is okay. Since he doesn't blame you, you can rest easy now."
"That's right, sir," said Hannrong.
"Now I want to go up to the tenth floor to get the backpack I live above. After that, I will go straight home."
"Okay, sir!"
Chioujen then went straight up to the tenth floor. He cleaned the room so that no sign of his presence could be seen. About twenty minutes later, he came out of unit 1008 and went straight down to the ground floor. After saying goodbye to Hannrong, Chioujen immediately left for the station. Just like before, he chose to go out through the back door.
The hunger whacking Chioujen's stomach had made him walk quick, even half running. Arriving at the station, Chioujen immediately looked for a payphone. He chose a public telephone in the box to be quieter so that the other person would not know that he was at a fairly busy station.
Chioujen called home. The one who answered the phone was Iren. Chioujen briefly explained that the company he worked for had decided to send him back to work at the head office in this city. He also said that he would be home tomorrow around after midnight. At that time, He did not tell anything to the people at home. Chioujen had no intention of going home today. Some of the things that had just happened had aroused Chioujen's suspicions, so he decided to first observe some of these rather odd things.
Before boarding the train, Chioujen had breakfast at a restaurant inside the mall at the subway station. Because he was so hungry, he ate voraciously. The many things running through his mind didn't make him lose his appetite. In less than ten minutes, he had finished his meal. Immediately, he boarded a train bound for a subway station close to their residence in Pyngyuan. The station left a deep impression on him because the station's name was exactly the same as his name, namely Jongharng Station.
