《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 148 : Ximen Yixiong
Advertisement
Yixiong held his breath. He saw a hint of doubt flashed in Jingkang's eyes when the young man said that.
"Are you sure it was the car that collided with the motorbike in front of the grocery store?" Yixiong wanted to know how sure Jingkang was of what he had just witnessed.
"The model and color are the same," said Jingkang. "But I'm not too sure. Besides the distance is too far, I only saw for a short time. If at the time of the incident I was standing right on the side of the road, perhaps I would be able to answer with a higher degree of certainty."
Not enough evidence. That means we haven't been able to make this kid's statement a conclusion. But at least it's valuable enough to be a clue.
"We will discuss that later. Currently, there are other things that are our priority," said Yiren.
Yixiong nodded. He tapped their driver on the shoulder. "Mr. Gongxi, how do we get out of here? I'm afraid the car is currently stopping at the end of the road behind us. If we exit through the mouth of this alley behind us, they'll definitely see us."
"We also can't stay here for too long," said Yiren. "If the car passes back the road behind us, there is a possibility they will see us."
"We're going forward, Sir!" Gongxi answered so quickly.
"Isn't this a dead end?" Yiren raised his eyebrows. It was clear that the road ahead of them indeed ended in front of a tightly closed garage. Their distance from the garage door was around thirty meters.
"Don't worry, Sir!" Gongxi smiled widely. He started the car again. Their car then advanced to the front of the garage. Immediately after getting out of the car, Gongxi took out a key from his pocket. With that key, he opened the garage door.

"Eh? What is this place?" Yixiong turned to Yiren.
"There's no point in you asking me," Yiren said.
Quickly, Gongxi returned to enter the car. He prepared to put the car in the garage.
"Mr. Gongxi," Yixiong said.
"Please be patient for a moment, Sir. I will explain soon," said Gongxi. "Now I put our car in the garage in front of us first."
Gongxi ran the car into the garage. After that, he came out again of the car to close and lock the garage door from inside.
"Gentlemen. Please get off here." Gongxi smiled from outside.
Yixiong, Yiren, and Jingkang looked at each other.
"I think Mr. Gongxi already has a certain plan. We should just follow it," said Yiren. "He definitely knows better the ins and outs of the streets here."
"I don't mind things like this. I'm just a little worried that this kind of obstacle will make us late in the park," Yixiong said.
"We have no other choice," said Yiren. "Luckily, we left earlier. So we still have time."
Yixiong looked at Jingkang. "What do you think?"
This kid suddenly became quiet. Is there something suspicious?
Jingkang nodded. "Mr. Ximen, I thought you wanted to leave earlier because you had expected things like this."
"We're leaving early because I know nothing about the layout of the park. So I want to get there as soon as possible so I can have a look around the place before it's time for the ransom to be handed over."
"Gentlemen. Please get out of the car." Gongxi repeated his words.
The three of them got out of the car. Yixiong tried to guess what would happen next. But his mind was deadlocked.
"Now, we will change cars," said Gongxi. The old man's face looked excited.

So he's enjoying this?
The elderly man led them to walk along the garage.
"Careful, Sir! It's a bit dark in here," said Gongxi.
Lighting in that place was so minimal. Indeed, there were some lights that turn on. But the light that radiated out was just dim. Fortunately, Gongxi brought a flashlight whose light was so bright.
Yixiong looked around them. He realized the garage was actually a continuation of the alley. So it could be said, the garage was built by covering the top of some parts of the alley. The building was so long. It made sense because the place was actually the alley where their car was turning sharply.
After walking about a hundred yards, they came to the other end of the garage. They saw a sedan parked there. Gongxi reached into his pocket. He took out a car key. After opening the front door, he got into the car without the slightest hesitation.
According to Mr. Gongxi's confession, earlier Tsaehorng did not have time to talk at length about the things Mr. Gongxi had to do. So is it entirely this old man's improvisation?
From inside the car, Gongxi unlocked the other doors of the car.
Yiren and Jingkang turned to Yixiong.
Why are they looking at me like that? Ah! Of course, because now I'm the leader.
"Gentlemen, please come in!" Gongxi's voice sounded so friendly, yet firm at the same time.
Without saying any words, the three of them got into the car. Their position was exactly the same as when they were in the previous car. Jingkang was in the front while Yiren and Yixiong sat in the back.
"Wait a minute, Sir! I start the engine first," said Gongxi.
Yixiong nodded. "Please, Sir."
"The car also can't leave this place immediately, Sir. I think it will take us about three minutes for the car to be ready to drive on the road," said Gongxi.
Yixiong and Yiren nodded. They just smiled, said nothing. Jingkang instead froze in his seat while staring outside.
After starting the car, Gongxi then got out of the car.
"What will he do?" Yiren asked.
Gongxi opened the garage door in front of them.
"Is this the place belonging to the Mingju Family?" Yixiong poked Jingkang's shoulder.
"I don't know, Sir! I haven't worked for Mr. Tsaehorng for a long time. Only about three months. Obviously I could not be compared to Mr. Gongxi, who had been more than forty years of serving them."
