Chapter 488: Ringo’s troubles
Ringo, or Jun Muchen had a serious problem. Last night when he went out on a special mission to grab and transport someone things had become a bit bloody as a result of a struggle. It was not his fault that the mark tried to escape, people that were committing crimes against the empire did not just sit and wait to be arrested, they often tried to scurry away like sewer rats.He successfully got his mark and delivered him to the intelligence department of the army but he had bumped into a witness. Not just a witness but one that was taking pictures and the beat down was captured. The photographer escaped before he could catch her. Normally, this witness would have to be taken to the intelligence department and given stern and life threatening warnings but since she managed to escape, the hunt for her was on.
The department was very worried about the details of an operation which was not yet finished being revealed. Ringo was anxiously waiting to see his picture online or on a newspaper with some misguided headline. He barely slept that night he was too anxious for the first time in a long time.
Because he hardly slept he left bed so early in the morning and went out for a run, after the run he passed by Juan tea shop which opened as early as half past five every morning. There was only one employee in the shop at this time of the morning as usual.
"Good morning Meili." he greeted the tall beautiful man.
"Good morning Ringo, the usual?" he asked.
"Yes and five of those strawberry lemon bear shaped cookies." Whenever he came slept at home he made it a point to take some tea and eat a snack from this tea shop. It was not just because his sister-in-law owned the shop, it was also because their tea and snacks were quite delicious.
Meili returned after a minute with his order and then he went back behind the counter.
Ringo always wondered why this guy never said much, he always tried to engage him in conversation but he was either uninterested or he was too guarded. He was so hard to read that he would have made a good interrogator.
"It’s a nice day for a run." Ringo said.
"Hmm." Meili replied.
"We should hung out together sometime, grab some drinks and play a game of basket ball. "
