Chapter 92

On the airport bus, a thug from the Suminoe group, acting on orders from Igawa, suddenly stood up, pulled out a gun, and shouted at those around him.

"Don't move! I'm just settling a score with someone, it has nothing to do with you! Just don't make any sudden moves, and you can leave once the car is parked!"

After saying that, he pointed the gun at the driver: "Get off the highway at the next exit and drop me off."

The driver was sweating profusely, but since it didn't sound like he was after money or trying to kill, he felt alright. Besides, the training had mentioned what to do in this situation—prioritize the safety of the majority of passengers on the bus.

He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that the passengers seemed frightened and had no intention of fighting back. He figured there was no need to risk angering the perpetrator, so he would just drive obediently.

Satisfied to see the driver heading down the route he had specified, the gunman then left his seat and walked toward the person he had been watching for a long time.

Aoike Touko was sitting in the back of the bus, next to the box containing 100 million yen.

From the moment she boarded the train, he noticed that Aoike Touko was probably exhausted from her injuries and escape. After looking out the window for a while, she closed her eyes to rest. If she hadn't opened her eyes to check the time from time to time, he would have thought she was going to die.

He originally didn't want to alert the enemy and planned to deal with this guy after arriving at the airport and having all his brothers there. But since the executive, Igawa, ordered him to turn at the next intersection, it must mean that his brothers were already prepared, right?

Since that's the case, he doesn't need to hold back anymore. Let's finish this quickly before the police arrive.

Amidst the silence of the other passengers, he walked up to Aoike Touko, grinning maliciously as he pressed the gun against her forehead: "Trying to escape? Keep running? You stole so much money, do you really think you can get away?"

As he spoke, he reached for his suitcase with his other hand.

At this moment, Aoike Touko, who had only weakly opened her eyes to look at him during the carjacking without doing anything else, suddenly leaned on the suitcase.

He suddenly became somewhat irritated.

Even at this point, why is this guy still not giving up? Does he still think she can escape?

Yes, he couldn't possibly kill her in front of so many people. After all, he needed to hold back to avoid causing trouble for the group. Besides, even without firing a shot, he could still outmaneuver a seriously injured and dying woman.

It's weak, but its relentless entanglement is really annoying.

The thug grabbed Aoike Touko, threw her aside, and snatched the suitcase from her arms.

The moment he received the suitcase, he immediately realized that the weight was wrong.

The thug quickly opened the suitcase to check, only to find that the 100 million yen in banknotes that had been inside had disappeared... No wonder this guy wouldn't let him touch the suitcase earlier; he was afraid that the money would be missing!

He immediately grabbed Aoike Touko by the collar with a ferocious expression and demanded sharply, "Where's the money? Where did you put the money?"

Aoike Touko was breathing rapidly and barely had the strength to speak, but she still let out a cold laugh and then shut her mouth without saying a word.

The thug's face darkened instantly. He wanted to use conventional methods to interrogate Aoike Touko, but seeing the blood seeping from her clothes and her dying expression, he worried that if he punched her, Aoike Touko would die.

In the end, they won't find out where the money is, and they'll have even killed the person who knew the truth...

The thug felt he should beg Aoike Touko to hold on a little longer, at least not to die at his hands...

Oh, right! Manager Igawa is waiting for them in his car behind! They'll park in a bit, hand the person over to him, and if the person dies, he can at least shirk some responsibility!

Thinking of this, he quickly ran to the driver and urged him to hurry up: "Stop there! Don't drive! Can't we stop there?"

The driver nervously stopped the car and opened the door, hoping these dangerous individuals would get out of his vehicle quickly.

But the thugs didn't rush to get out of the car. They just eagerly looked outside, and when they saw the familiar license plate and the Igawa executives, their eyes lit up as they got out to greet them.

"Mr. Igawa! Aoike Touko is in this car! But..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the cadre from the Igawa Group run over to the other car and open the door for the other person.

However, the other party didn't seem to appreciate it. As if he thought that the Igawa executive was in the way, he raised his hand, and the Igawa executive immediately and consciously made way for him to walk directly towards him.

The thug froze on the spot when he met those dark red eyes.

The man paused briefly as he passed by and said calmly, "Give me the gun."

"Hey." The thug instinctively handed over his gun with both hands.

The man nodded, gripped his gun, and walked toward the car.

It wasn't until the man's figure entered the airport bus that the thug barely came to his senses: "Mr. I-Igawa, is that... the young master?"

While the sense of oppression was indeed ridiculously strong, he seemed rather young; perhaps he's the young master? If he were just an ordinary officer, the next leader wouldn't be able to control him at all! The Suminoe Group will fall into their hands sooner or later!

The cadre, Jingchuan, was taken aback. This question had really hit the nail on the head. He didn't actually know either, so he could only vaguely say, "Don't talk nonsense. The higher-ups have their own ideas."

The thugs nodded repeatedly.

Hanchuan Shenliu has already boarded the vehicle.

The passengers on the bus were initially a little agitated because the gunman got off, but when he got on, they fell into a deathly silence again.

However, he didn't care. But when he was halfway there, he suddenly turned to someone and said, "You go down first."

The man stood up, looking flustered and apprehensive: "Hi...hi!"

He was also a member of the Suminoe Group. He and the thug in front of him discovered Aoike Touko. When he saw that the other party had stepped forward, he pretended to be a passerby, just in case.

When the car stopped, an unfamiliar big shot got on. He was still hesitating whether this big shot was from his own team or from the opposing team who came to pick up kills when the other person recognized him.

That must be one of our own! Judging by the way they're acting, it's definitely the young master!

He never expected that the high and mighty young master would even look at the files of people like them from the bottom, and even remember what he looked like... He was really touched!

Once the young master ascends to the throne, he will dedicate himself wholeheartedly to serving him!

He wanted to get out of the car quickly, but as soon as he stood up, he noticed that the young master had frowned.

What's wrong?! Did he do something wrong?

He quickly looked down and realized that, since he was the only one left in the car, he had been holding the gun in one hand as a precaution, and now he instinctively took it out...

How could he be so rude in front of the young master! Wouldn't the young master think he harbors ill intentions?!

He quickly placed the gun on the car seat with both hands to indicate that he had no other intentions, then bowed and backed towards the door.

Han Chuan Shenliu, who didn't know the other person at all but could tell that this guy was problematic, picked up the gun, and the next second, the gun was disintegrated into a pile of parts that fell back onto the seat.

The person who had almost reached the door gasped and scrambled out of the car.

Although she didn't speak, Aoike Touko kept looking at them with a puzzled expression.

Han Chuan Shenliu walked over: "Miss Qingchi."

Aoike Touko gave a cold laugh and said weakly, "I... will absolutely not... let people like you get away with this again..."

No matter how you look at him, he belongs to the dark world she hates, yet he says, "I'm a policeman."

Aoiike Touko: "...?!?!?!"

The expressions of the passersby who also heard this sentence all cracked.

That joke isn't funny at all! Look at yourself, how do you look like a police officer?! If you were a police officer, why did those two dangerous characters listen to you?!

The moment Aoike Touko froze, Hanchuan Shenliu lifted her trench coat, glanced at the bleeding, and estimated the extent of blood loss: "There's still hope. Don't move now, the ambulance will be here soon."

He then glanced at the open suitcase, picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground, and checked it, finding it stuck on the Twitter interface.

He looked at the tweets, thought for a moment, then bent down and whispered in the ear of Aoike Touko, whose gaze was unfocused.

“I know where you put the money. If you die, I’ll have someone retrieve the car. There’s still time. But if you live, I’ll pretend I don’t know—you donated it to the International Girls’ Rescue Center, didn’t you?”

Aoike Touko stared in surprise at the young man who exuded a dangerous aura.

She was actually prepared for death.

She was deceived by men, exploited by gangsters, and implicated in a probationary period. She clearly wanted to live a good life, work hard, and even strive to get certified, but she was rejected one after another because of her past experiences.

She finally found a new job, only to discover that it was still a shop controlled by yakuza, and she had become a tool for money laundering... She fell into deep despair.

Even if she reports it to the police, they won't help her find a new job... She no longer wants to sell herself.

She hated yakuza so much that when she found herself trapped in yakuza again after thinking she could finally start a new life, she became self-destructive and even gave up entirely.

When she realized she was seriously injured and unable to leave with the money, she saw an advertisement for the "International Girls' Rescue Center".

Throughout her life, no one offered her a helping hand, but perhaps she could have helped other girls before she died.

So she exchanged the money for gems of equal value, sewed them into a doll, and sent it to the International Girls' Rescue Center.

Once her package is delivered to a cargo plane and takes off overseas, it will be irretrievable. Until then, all she has to do is stall for time and prevent anyone from discovering the whereabouts of the money.

With her eyes, nearly blurred from blood loss, she glanced at the time and realized that there was still almost an hour before she could be sure the package wouldn't be recovered.

"Can you hold on?" the suspicious young man asked.

Aoike Touko took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and a strong will to survive cleared her mind: "...I can do it."

She had no liking for the police; they had never shown up when she needed help, and this particular policeman…

As long as he reveals the whereabouts of the gem, it will be considered a merit. Will he really not tell anyone?

Or did he already tell someone else and just want to deceive her?

She didn't trust the police, and even less so this guy who might not even be a real policeman; she had to check the package's whereabouts herself.

Hang in there a little longer, hoping that the doll that embodies her dreams can fly into the sky and help other girls in need around the world.

Han Chuan Shenliu got off the car.

The situation outside was completely different from when he got into the car. On one side were several plainclothes police officers, and on the other side were several thugs from the Zhuzhijiang gang. The two sides were in a standoff, and it even looked like they had already fought a round of hand-to-hand combat. However, neither side had a gun, or it was inconvenient for them to fire, so it looked like it was still relatively peaceful.

Upon seeing the cold river flowing out from the depths, the Igawa executive of the Suzue group was immediately startled.

"Please go back immediately! These people are cops!" Officer Igawa shouted. "Guns! Please hand over the guns..."

He was about to say, "Please return the gun to us first," when he saw the young master he had identified frown and ask the officer over there.

"Where's the ambulance? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

The cop actually replied, "Almost there, we'll be there in a minute... and your gun...?"

"It's not mine."

The young man released the safety and casually fired a shot toward the Suminoe group; the bullet grazed the cheek of the Igawa executive precisely.

This was a warning shot.

"Hands up, everyone, kneel down."

Everyone in the Suminoe group: "...?!?!?!?!"

One of them exclaimed in shock, looking as if he had been betrayed, "Young Master?!"

"I am not your young master." The young man said coldly, casually turning the gun towards the other party. "Cooperate with me, I don't want to kill anyone."

He paused, then added a polite expression.

"please."

Everyone: "………………"

Officer Shimo covered his face in anguish.

Using polite language doesn't make people forget what you just said and did. How outrageous is that to the police?! Hanchuan Shenliu! You'll be writing a self-criticism soon!

--------------------

I'll be adding an extra chapter tonight.

Han Chuan: First, surrender.

A resident of Zhijiang: Boss, you didn't bring a gun? No problem, we brought one! How many more do you want? We'll give them all to you!

This case is from the fourth episode of "Mobile Investigation Unit 404". The actress playing Touko Aoike is absolutely amazing; her portrayal of the character's journey from despair to seeing hope, and the joy of knowing she can help others... wow...
