Chioujen gestured for Jenqyih to follow him. The two of them then went to the backyard terrace.
"This man must have very important news. And we know he will only tell Beaushu. The only way is for him to speak directly to Beaushu," Chioujen said.
"I know," Jenqyih said. "So, now you want to bring him to the hospital?"
"Right. Do Yihge mind?"
"Of course not. But it looks like Shyongge and Iren will be staying at the hospital tonight. And tonight I have to go. I'm afraid there's no one to look after this house."
"Yihge, where are you going tonight?"
"About in the middle of the night, I have to meet Mr. Jongli near the pizza restaurant."
"Ah! Some kind of covert operation."
"I don't know. Maybe he just wants to show me something."
"I think, before eleven o'clock, I will be home. Even if I haven't come home yet, Yihge needn't worry. This house won't be empty. I'm sure that Jinqkang will also be here soon."
"Is Jinqkang still at the police station now?"
"Because today Beaushu was found, the police canceled the plan to ask Jinqkang for help. So the police will escort him back here. He hasn't arrived yet because he said earlier that he would stop by his house first."
"What time did he call?"
"It's been a while. He should have been here by now."
"Maybe the traffic is too heavy or something else."
Chioujen nodded. "Maybe he's homesick and wants to spend some time there before coming back here."
"That also makes sense. When I think about it, we don't know anything about Jinqkang. That kid is just as mysterious as Songfei."
"Yihge is right. There is a slight resemblance between the two of them."
"They're not that different in age. Maybe they could be friends."Jenqyih laughed.
"Have you ever asked him about his family?" Chioujen was a bit curious about that.
"Never. We've been very busy these past few days. Never got a chance to talk about stuff like that. He's done us a lot of good. I think we'll have to try later to make him feel welcome."
"That's not easy. He doesn't seem like someone who is willing to just spit out information about his family."
"But that time he told Shyongge a bit about his family. So it's not like he didn't want to talk at all."
"Maybe there were certain things that made him want to open his mouth to Shyongge. Maybe he saw Shyongge as a father or uncle figure."
Chioujen nodded. "Indeed, Shyongge is very suitable for acting as a father. Besides that, in terms of age, it makes sense if he becomes Jinqkang's father."
"I think that's also a problem," Jenqyih said. "We are way older than Jinqkang here. Maybe he can open up more to people his age."
"It seems he's never opened up to Tsaehorng, either."
"Tsaehorng is his superior. It's rare for someone to open up so easily and confide in personal matters to their superior. After all, Tsaehorng is younger than Jinqkang. According to the rules in force in this city regarding age classification, Tsaehorng can still be considered a minor."
"Then maybe we should introduce him to Songfei."
