Jenqyih turned towards the source of the voice. He saw their neighbor, Shiuander Janji, standing in his yard, about a meter from the gate of his yard.

Jenqyih was confused. He was not prepared to answer such a question. "I just want to relax my legs. I couldn't sleep tonight."

"I understand," said Shiuander Janji. "Even though I'm tired, I'm also having a bit of trouble sleeping tonight. How about we walk together?"

Jenqyih didn't know how to refuse Shiuander Janji's request. He was just silent while Shiuander Janji opened the gate and walked over to him.

"Let's walk," said Shiuander Janji.

Jenqyih had no other choice. They then started walking together.

"What's in that package?" Asked Shiuander Janji.

Jenqyih also didn't know how to answer that question. Shiuander Janji knew about the package, but Jenqyih didn't know if he could say more about what had just happened.

"It's the next clue regarding the handover of the ransom." The words just came out of Jenqyih's mouth.

I hope Shyongge and the others will not angry that I told this person.

"I hope this time everything will go smoothly," said Shiuander Janji.

"That's right, Sir! I also hope that everything will be over quickly," said Jenqyih.

"Has there been any news regarding Mr. Duanmuh?" Asked Shiuander Janji.

"Not yet," said Jenqyih. "I've checked into several hospitals. I've also asked a lot of people. But we still haven't found a clue."

"This is very strange," said Shiuander Janji.

"That's right, Sir! It's really weird. We're all having a headache right now. Plus, I can't sleep. So now I'm taking a walk to cool off."

Shiuander Janji nodded.

"Excuse me, Sir!" Jenqyih said. "If I may ask, where are you from? I've never heard an accent like yours."

Shiuander Janji laughed.

Why is he even laughing? Is there anything strange about my question?

"It's okay. You don't need to apologize. Indeed, several people have asked me about this. I come from a place very far from here. My hometown is Shiahshyong. Indeed, not many people from Shiahshyong migrated here. So it's natural that some people feel foreign to our accent."

"Have you been living in this city for a long time?"

"I have lived in this city for almost twenty years."

It's been so long. But his accent is still like that.

Shiuander took a deep breath. "This city is enormous. For almost twenty years, I have lived in various parts of this gigantic city. I never stay too long. Usually only about nine to fifteen months. After that, I moved to another place. As you know, five months ago, I moved here."

"Why is that, Sir? Were the previous places not suitable for you?"

"I can't answer it because I don't even know the right answer. I think I'm one of those people who gets bored easily. So moving around is a way to find a new atmosphere."

"Does changing places of residence not make it difficult for you to work? Or does your place of work change frequently?"

Shiuander Janji laughed again. "I'm not an employee. So I don't think it's a problem."

"So you're a businessman."

Shiuander shook his head repeatedly. "I don't think it's right for people to call me an entrepreneur. I do whatever I can. So I don't always have a job."

"Oh! Sorry, Sir," said Jenqyih.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not really busy at the moment. Luckily, I have some savings. So I'm not too worried. At least for the next two or three years."

"So, at this time, you don't have any job?"

"Of course I have. But like I said earlier, it's really quiet right now. Apart from my job, in the last three months, I have had other activities. I have a friend who is starting a business. He asked me to be a temporary consultant. I can't refuse it. Apart from increasing my income, I can also help my friends."

"Your friend is starting a business in what field?"

"He is trying to become a distributor of the Mhaushyongwoei brand. The brand is not well known in this city. Making the brand popular is a tough job. The brand competition in this city is fierce."

"What kind of stuff, Sir?"

"All kinds of things, Sir. But the focus is on the items people use when traveling. So it's like shoes, jackets, bags, and so on."

"It looks quite interesting, Sir!"

"Yes. I am also excited to help my friend."

The two of them then engage in conversation about other things. As they continued to walk, Shiuander Janji recounted his experiences while living in the city where they are now. Jenqyih listened to the stories with enthusiasm. Occasionally he asked Shiuander Janji about many things.

They kept walking until they finally arrived at the bus stop. That night, the atmosphere at the bus stop was very quiet. Apart from the two of them, no one else was sitting there. Sometimes there were people passing by. But they didn't stop at the bus stop.
