Reception Room
Following Mr. Jin's car, you all arrive at a compound that appears to be his residence.
After parking the car, he leads you all inside the house.
Mr. Jin: Take a seat. I'll ask someone to bring coffee.
You: Thank you, Mr. Jin.
Mr. Jin: Haha, no need to be so courteous with me.
After a servant prepares coffee and dessert, Mr. Jin takes a sip from his cup and looks at you guys.
Mr. Jin: Back at the cafe entrance, I wasn't in a great mood. That's why I ignored you guys. My apologies.
Mr. Jin: Had I known you were with bro, I wouldn't have been so disrespectful.
You: Let's put that behind us, Mr. Jin. Everyone has bad days.
Marius: Yeah, in fact, it just helped us get to know one another better.
Mr. Jin: I guess you're right. You're... pretty interesting, President von Hagen.
Vyn: If I may ask, why do you call Boss Li "Bro"... Have you guys made a pact of some sort?
Mr. Jin: Haha, not at all.
Mr. Jin: Li and I met at an antique appreciation party and became friends when we found our interests were similar.
Mr. Jin: He would often stop by the cafe and tell me about interesting things happening in his life.
Mr. Jin: We never talked about business when we met, only about hobbies... That lasted for a long time and we became "brothers."
Marius: The way you guys became friends is quite interesting.
Mr. Jin: Haha, you flatter me, President von Hagen.
Mr. Jin pauses for a moment, then turns to look at you.
Mr. Jin: By the way, Bro did mention that he was going to travel the world for some time...
Mr. Jin: Do you know when he will return? I have some new coffee here that I want to try with him.
At this point, you all know that Mr. Jin doesn't know anything about Uncle Li's disappearance...
You: I'm... not too sure.
Mr. Jin: Well, I'll have to be patient then.
Mr. Jin shakes his head helplessly. Suddenly, there is a slight change in his expression, as if he remembered something.
Mr. Jin: Oh, how could I forget—
Mr. Jin: The last time Bro came to visit, he asked me to give you something...
Mr. Jin: You guys must be here for it.
Mr. Jin: I'll go grab it now. Please wait a moment.
Moments later, Mr. Jin returns with a familiar wooden box.
Mr. Jin: For the record, I never opened this box, so I don't know what's inside...
Mr. Jin: When Bro brought it to me, he just asked me to hold onto it for a while. I did just that.
You: Thank you, Mr. Jin.
You take the wooden box and nod at Mr. Jin.
Mr. Jin: By the way, he also left a message for you.
You: Eh?
Mr. Jin: It's nothing special. He said, "Yuying Pier, Warehouse 33."
Mr. Jin: There may be something in there for you, Little Boss.
You: Understood. Thank you, Mr. Jin.
Mr. Jin: No, it was my mistake.
Mr. Jin: I should've remembered the wooden box as soon as I saw you guys.
Afterward, the three of you and Mr. Jin talk for a long time, your conversation ranging from Xuzhou customs to interesting stories about the West...
After saying goodbye to Mr. Jin, you all check the time and decide to head back to the Li Hotel.
Li Hotel Entrance
You arrive to find Luke and Artem waiting at the entrance.
Luke: You guys are back!
Marius: I knew you two would be waiting for us at the entrance.
Artem: Everyone is concerned about the pieces.
Artem: How did things go today?
You: Pretty well...
You spend some time telling Artem and Luke everything that happened today.
Luke: No wonder you said it said went pretty well—nobody tried to steal the piece at the relief hospital...
Marius: Eh? No wonder it felt like something was a bit off today... Those guys didn't show up.
Marius: Do you think they gave up after realizing how smart and brave we are?
Vyn: It is not that simple.
Vyn's words catch everyone's attention, and you all turn to him.
Vyn: Rather than give up on stealing the pieces...
Vyn: I believe it is more likely they did not dare approach the relief hospital.
Artem: ...
Artem thinks for a moment, then nods.
Artem: I believe Interpreter Richter has a point.
Artem: After all, the Renhui Relief Hospital is backed by the Yingxing Trading Company. They probably didn't want to cause a ruckus in their territory.
Artem: And that means their organization is weaker than Yingxing.
Marius: That's not saying much though...
Marius: In a town as large as Xuzhou, forces weaker than Yingxing are a dime a dozen.
Luke: Should we consider the possibility that it's a grudge against Boss Li?
Luke: Hmm... but we don't have any clues yet.
Hearing their discussion, you feel a headache coming on, and you sigh.
You: There is still too little information... and we are clueless about how to deal with the situation.
You: In any case, we still need two more pieces to complete the model...
You: Why don't we focus our attention on the pieces?
The rest of the group falls silent for a few minutes, then they all look at you in unison.
Artem: Agreed.
Luke: Yeah, I'm fine with that.
Vyn: I have no objections.
Marius: Why don't we check out Yuying Pier together? The remaining two pieces should be there.
Upon hearing Marius' suggestion, the four of you nod.
After settling on the departure time, everyone returns to their rooms to rest.
