"I didn't realize that he was actually quite famous."
"I don't think he's very famous. There are only a handful of people who actually watch that kind of stuff."
"But you also watched it."
"It wasn't on purpose. At the time, we were living with a man who loved detective stories and mysteries. So I had to watch the shows he liked."
"You must be really bored." Iren laughed again.
"Not too bored either. The fellow was excellent at cooking. So we didn't really mind the other stuff either."
"Fine. So, what do you think?"
"What's wrong with this Mr. Gongyang?"
"He disappeared."
"I know he's missing. That's obvious from your expression. What I mean is, he disappeared because he was hiding or he disappeared because someone else disappeared him?"
"At first it was because he was hiding. But then we thought that someone had kidnapped him."
"We?"
"Yes! Me and some of my friends."
"Including that person named Duanmuh?"
"Of course. So what?"
"Why don't you just ask him for help? His network is definitely stronger and wider than mine."
"What network? He's just like me or my other friends. We live alone in this city."
"You are aware that he is a Duanmuh, right?"
"Of course I'm aware of that. But he was raised as a commoner. Just like everyone else in our new world."
"I believe he thinks he is the same as us. But he is clearly different. Maybe until now he hasn't realized that he is different. Maybe one day he will realize that he has privileges that not many people have. "
"Let's just say you're right," said Iren. "But as long as he's not aware of that, then he can't access the network that he might actually have."
The red goat nodded. He seemed unsure of Iren's words.
Iren cupped his hands and put them in front of his mouth. "I think we've talked enough about him. Now let's continue talking about this Gongyang Songfei."
"Fine. I'll do my best. But like I said, my network in this city isn't very strong. So there's a chance I won't be able to give anything away."
"It's okay. I know this problem is complicated. I'm prepared with the various possibilities that will arise as the result."
"All right then. I'll tell you in twelve or eighteen hours."
"Do you know where I live?"
"I don't know. But I can find out."
"That's going to take a lot of time. Here, I'll give you my phone number and the address where I live."
The Red Goat received the paper that Iren gave. He studied the paper. "This is very close to the mall where the strange incident occurred." His brow furrowed.
"That's right! Even I was there."
"The first incident or the second."
"The second. But on the first occasion, I was also in the vicinity."
"That event was indeed strange. There are lots of strange theories going around trying to explain this incident."
"That's right. A lot of them are just ridiculous."
"We'll talk about this another time. I'm afraid your friend is back. If he sees you coming out of this house, then I'm afraid that we will have to move again."
"You really are so paranoid!"
"It's much better if I'm careful."
"Okay! I look forward to hearing from you."
"Do not worry!"
"I'm leaving now. Thank you very much."
"Please! Sorry, I can't walk you out."
"That's fine. I understand. Give my regards to the Blue Sheep."
The person nodded. "See you later."
Iren got up from his chair. He walked towards the terrace. When he got there, he turned to look again at the person he called the Red Goat. The man didn't even move from where he was sitting. It seemed that he still wants to spend more time in the garden, which was quite shady.
After that, without looking back, Iren stepped out of the backyard terrace. When he opened the door, the slightly curly haired woman was already standing behind the door. She escorted Iren to the gate. This time, after Iren was outside the fence, she immediately locked the gate. Iren could only laugh watching that.
Iren walked back to where Shiuander had parked his car. Yihshyong had yet to appear. His friend had been gone for a long time. Iren shook his head. He was worried that the food stall was very far from that place.
Ah! I have to wait how much longer?
After a few minutes of standing there, Iren smiled. From a distance, he saw someone approaching. The man seemed to try to quicken his pace. However, it seemed he was running out of steam.
"You took so long, Shyongge." Iren laughed when the person got in front of him.
"Sorry. The place is really far away. Apart from that, there are also many who buy it."
"Let's eat now."
"Where shall we eat?"
"I think it's okay here."
"Here?"
"Here, of course. We can use the hood of this car as a dining table. We can't possibly go in with all this food. I'm afraid we're trashing their sumptuous living room."
"But this is Mr. Shiuander's car!"
"He certainly won't mind. The important thing is we don't dirty the car."
"All right! We eat here."
Yihshyong put down the plastic bag containing the food and drink he had just bought. The two of them then enjoyed their dinner, which was served on the hood of Shiuander's car.
"I didn't realize that he was actually quite famous."
"I don't think he's very famous. There are only a handful of people who actually watch that kind of stuff."
"But you also watched it."
