《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 182 : Ximen Yixiong
Advertisement
The person who looked very much like their dage, Duanmu Shanquan, stretched out his right hand as the tall and bulky man carrying a long wooden staff arrived right in front of him. The tall and bulky man immediately gave the wooden staff to him. Their "dage" held the wooden stick while observing it for a while. He nodded and smiled. After that, he returned the wooden staff to the tall man.
What is this? Dage knew those people already?
After saying something, which Yixiong couldn't guess at all, their dage then got into the car.
"Dage got into that car voluntarily!" Yiren's voice sounded so surprised."
The car walked away with their dage inside.
"Where has he gone? What should we do now?" Yiren's eyebrows rose high. There was anxiety in his voice.
"I don't know." Yixiong shook his head. "There's nothing we need to do. I don't think Dage is in any danger. So we don't need to worry."
"You really believe we don't have to do anything?"
"This must have been in his plans. If we act rashly, I'm afraid we'll end up messing up Dage's plans."
Yiren nodded. His face still looked unsure. "Are we going to wait for Dage to come back?"
"Wait where?"
"Of course, in this diner."
What's wrong with Yiren? Maybe today isn't a good day for him.
"We don't know what time he'll be back here. We don't even know if Dage will ever be back to this place. Maybe this is just one of those places where he finds clues to things he's investigating. Now he's going to the other places to look for other clues."
"What are Xiongge talking about? Clues about which incident?"
"I don't know either. Maybe Dage will tell us when it's clear."

Yiren sat up nervously.
Yixiong took a deep breath. "Don't worry too much. I'm sure there must be a reasonable explanation for all of this."
"Then we'd better go back to Mr. Xuande's friend's warehouse now." Yiren turned back to look out the window.
"It's still a few minutes to eleven. If we go back now, I'm sure we'll have a long wait there."
"Waiting here is also the same. In fact, it's not good if we wait here too long. Don't we impede other people's business?"
"Inhibiting what business? Right now, apart from the two of us, there are only four other customers in this diner. Don't worry. Neither party will be bothered by our presence here." Yixiong chuckled. "I want us to stick to our original plan. We will be back at Mr. Jingdu's warehouse at twelve o'clock."
"Then I'll order another drink. We'll still be sitting for the next hour. It won't be nice if we order nothing else."
"Fine! We'll order more drinks." Yixiong nodded.
They then called the waitress to order additional drinks. Not even three minutes later, the drinks had arrived. Yiren was so happy when he saw the glasses.
"Here's one for me, and one for you."
After taking one gulp, Yixiong then laid his head down on the table again.
"Are you going to sleep again?"
"Yes." Yixiong nodded quickly. "Earlier I only slept for such a short time. So I want to continue first. You'll wake me up when it's twelve o'clock."
Just as Yixiong closed his eyes, he felt someone shaking his shoulder.
Ah! It's so hard to take a break! Today, Yiren is so restless!
"What else is there? Is Dage back across the street yet?"
"You have to see that. Come on! Let's see!"

Yixiong raised his head. He saw Yiren looking out the window. His finger pointed at something or someone that was outside. Reluctantly, Yixiong turned his gaze outside the window. Their dage wasn't there. But there was another person standing right where their dage had been standing.
"Who's that? Do we know that person?" Yixiong narrowed his eyes. He tried to identify the person.
"Xiongge, that's the girl Dage chased when we were at the mall!"
Yixiong was taken aback. He rose from his seat right away.
Such an incident could hardly be called a coincidence!
"Are you sure?" Yixiong stared at Yiren closely.
I've only seen the girl once, so I can't be sure.
"Of course I'm sure. Before this, I've seen her three times. So, this time, I can't be wrong." Yiren's face looked very serious when he said those words.
"I think this is very strange!"
"This is bizarre indeed. It's even a bit unreasonable!"
Yixiong sat back down. He really needed a little time to be able to digest the sequence of events that had happened.
"So, what should we do now? Shouldn't we just walk over there and ask the girl?" Yiren's voice sounded impatient.
"Asking about what?"
"Asking about who she is, and what is her relationship with Dage? Even though Dage doesn't want us to know what he is doing, I think it's okay if we get a little information from people who know him." Yiren made a suggestion.
What Yiren said did make sense. But not necessarily we will get a satisfactory answer.
"I'm afraid she will deny that she is Dage's friend. You also only saw her conversing with Dage once. Maybe, at that time, the girl just happened to meet Dage on the street. Perhaps she was just asking for an address, or something else to do with it."
"Yes, that's possible. But wouldn't it be better if we tried asking?"
What should we do? Yiren's proposal is something that I can't just ignore. But I'm really reluctant to do it. What if later Dage gets angry when he finds out that we've been presumptuous to meddle in his personal affairs?
The girl standing across the street, wearing long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. The color of the trousers and the shirt were almost the same, which was light green. It's just that the color of his pants was a little darker than the color of the shirt she's wearing. The girl looked to the right and left of the road. Just like what their dage had done earlier, the girl also seemed to be waiting for someone.
That means someone else will arrive there. This is very interesting!
"Xiongge!" Yiren's voice sounded more impatient.
"Don't do anything! We'll see what happens after this."
About five minutes later, there was someone who came up to the girl.
"Who's he?" Yixiong narrowed his eyes again.
"I don't know. I've never seen anyone like her." Yiren shook his head.
The person who had just arrived was a woman who was also in her twenties. She wore a light blue dress. He then conversed briefly with the girl they were observing.
They had a lively conversation. It wasn't long before someone else came closer. The person who had just arrived was a young man who was around thirty years old. He wore a light brown shirt. Seeing the arrival of the young man, the woman in the light blue dress then said something to the girl in the light green dress.
