Yihshyong's forehead wrinkled. His eyes looked straight ahead.
"Shyongge!" Iren patted Yihshyong on the shoulder.
"What is it?" Yihshyong raised his eyebrows.
"Mr. Shiuander is in the living room inside this house. He has to stay there because if the house keeper shows up in the living room and he doesn't see anyone sitting there, then things will get messy."
Yihshyong looked confused. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"In this car, we left precious things. So I think it's best if one of us stays here while the other goes to buy food."
"Ah!" Yihshyong sighed. "I see what you mean." He chuckled.
"Now, Shyongge, do you want to guard here or want to buy some food?"
"I should be the one asking. Do you want to stand guard here or go buy some food?"
"This morning I already went to follow the girl. So now, how about if Shyongge goes to buy food?"
Yihshyong laughed again. "Okay, I will go."
"Thank you, Shyongge."
"But wouldn't it be best if you go into the living room first? You can borrow the car key from Mr. Shiuander. So you can wait in the car. I think that would be much more comfortable than standing outside like this."
"No need, Shyongge. If I go inside again, it will only take longer. After all, earlier we told Mr. Shiuander that we were going to find a small stall for dinner. Not bringing food here to eat in the car. I feel bad if he finds out we eat in the car. That means we let him wait alone in the living room of the mansion while we enjoy our meal here."
"Hmm. I agree with what you said. TIn that case, right now I have to set out to find a place that sells things that can fill our stomachs."
"Shyongge, if you can, walk a little faster."
"Haven't I always walked at a speed above average?"
"True! But I mean, even faster than usual."
"Hah!" Yihshyong glared. "I'm much older than you. Of course, I can't be that fast. That's why this morning I wanted you to go after that girl."
"Okay." Iren laughed. "Walk normally, as usual. But don't take too long."
Yihshyong nodded. "Where do you think I should go?" He cast glances in all directions around them.
"Shyongge, why don't you just ask the kids where we can find the nearest food stall?" Iren pointed at the children who had just walked past them.
Yihshyong ran after the children. After asking them, Yihshyong did not come back again. He walked away from Iren. Witnessing that, Iren breathed a sigh of relief.
Iren could clearly see that Yihshyong was walking faster than usual. In fact, he was half running. But several tens of meters later, Yihshyong slowed his pace. Iren was a little worried. Luckily, it didn't last long. Yihshyong resumed walking at a normal pace. Iren was happy because Yihshyong's version of normal walking was still much faster than most people's normal walking speed.
Iren did not immediately walk away from where he stood. He waited until Yihshyong could no longer see him. After Yihshyong disappeared from his sight, Iren started walking towards the house, where he saw two people he knew disappear into it.
He stopped in front of the gate of the house. The gate was not locked. Calmly and very carefully, Iren reached out, opened the gate. The gate opened almost silently. Still full of calm, Iren stepped into the courtyard of the house.
Iren stopped in his tracks. He looked at the building from the front. The house was much smaller than the mansion they had just visited. However, when compared to where they lived, the house was like a palace.
The front yard of the house was quite big. Iren continued walking. He walked slowly, as if he didn't want to make any noise. Arriving at the terrace in front of the entrance, which Iren assumed was the entrance to the living room of the house, he stopped. He took a deep breath. With a gentle move, or so he thought, he raised his hand to knock on the entrance.
No one came out. There was also no sound of people shouting from inside, or any other voices for a response. Iren sighed. He looked around him. The house was so big. Naturally, the knock on the front door was not heard by those inside. Maybe they were in the part of the house that was quite far from the front door.
Iren once again looked around the terrace. He looked around for an object that served as a bell. Earlier, in front of the gate, there was no object like that. For almost two minutes, Iren looked in all directions, until finally his eyes fell on an object which he thought was a bit strange to be in that position.
Yihshyong's forehead wrinkled. His eyes looked straight ahead.
"Shyongge!" Iren patted Yihshyong on the shoulder.
