Chapter 30 Betrayal

Ace originally wanted to ask Lan Tang why he was here, but when he saw that he was breathing in more than out, he immediately turned around and called out to the medical staff who had followed him: "Doctor! Save him!"

Several people immediately came to Guo Lan Tang with first aid kits to provide emergency treatment.

Ace squatted beside Lan Tang's head and said anxiously: "Hey, Lan Tang, are you still alive? Hang in there!"

Nakahara Chuuya saw the people brought by Ace surrounding Rando to give first aid. He didn't understand what was going on for a moment, so he turned his head to look at Dazai Osamu who was standing not far from him, "Hey..."

Nakahara Chuuya, who wanted to ask him about his situation, turned his head and saw Dazai Osamu looking at the people over there with an expressionless face, with a hint of gloom for no reason. The rest of the words got stuck in his throat.

"……whispering sound."

Lan Tang, who was lying on the ground, seemed to be a little conscious, but he still responded when he saw Ace.

"Chief..."

"Don't say anything! Just hold on a little longer! Let the doctor save your life first!" Ace interrupted him and turned to look at the doctor beside him, "How is he!?"

"The situation is very serious. Five ribs are broken and the internal organs are damaged to varying degrees. The broken ribs have penetrated into the internal organs. Surgery must be performed as soon as possible." The doctor said after an emergency examination, "The conditions here cannot perform surgery. Put the patient on the back car. I will ask them how long it will take to arrive."

Albatross took a shortcut, but that road was obviously not accessible to everyone, so the car behind them was slower than them. The medical department and the people who came over drove a total of three cars, one of which was the car that Albatross used to carry the leader, and the other two were used as backup to transport the injured.

"Okay, we must make them hurry up!" Ace said and looked at Lan Tang again.

Lan Tang looked at him with a hollow look in his eyes, "Chief... I'm sorry... I... um!"

When he was coughing up blood, Dazai Osamu came over and looked down at Rando, "Mr. Mori, he is the mastermind behind the resurrection of the previous leader."

Ace took a moment to react before he realized what the other person meant, and his body froze in place.

"What are you going to do, Boss? His behavior is a betrayal, right? As I recall, the Port Mafia has a special execution method for traitors..." Dazai Osamu reminded casually, "Or do you plan to let him go?"

Nakahara Chuuya also came over. He looked at Ace who had suddenly fallen silent, and held back the question he was about to ask. He turned to look at Dazai Osamu and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what's going on with you guys?"

Dazai Osamu turned a deaf ear and just stared at Ace dimly.

Seeing that he had no intention of paying any attention to him, Nakahara Chuuya clicked his tongue, retracted his gaze, and stood aside with his arms folded.

Ace was silent for a long time. After the two cars behind the medical department arrived, he said hoarsely, "Save him first. I want to ask him in person."

Lan Tang was completely unconscious and was carefully carried onto a stretcher and put into a car by the medical team.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Albatross, who had been silent all this time, glanced around and asked cautiously, "Chief, are we going back now?"

Just as Ace was about to agree, Nakahara Chuuya called him, "Hey."

Ace turned back to look at him, "Chuuya?"

His face still showed the repression from before. Nakahara Chuuya frowned when he saw this, not knowing where to start. Ace's behavior did not seem to be coerced by the Port Mafia. As for being deceived, although he had indeed completed the cooperation with the Port Mafia and that person seemed to have abided by the agreement and released this guy, he still felt that something was not right.

This guy does seem to have a good relationship with the people in the Port Mafia, and these people around him also call him the leader. He doesn't seem to be depressed from being imprisoned... Nakahara Chuuya couldn't figure out what the relationship between him and the man he met in the office of the Port Mafia leader before was.

Therefore, at this moment he seemed to want to talk to the other party about something, but he didn't know what to say after calling the other party.

Nakahara Nakata pursed his lips in annoyance, "It's nothing. What I said to you before still counts."

Ace was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant - if he had any problem, he could go to him for help. He smiled and said, "Thank you."

Nakahara Chuuya turned his eyes away slightly, "No need."

"Then I'll be leaving first." Ashton paused, then added, "My previous invitation is still valid."

“Tsk.” Nakahara Chuuya didn’t refute this time. The other party always pretended not to hear him anyway.

The doctor had already rushed the injured to the hospital. Albatross turned to look at Dazai Osamu. Dazai Osamu took a step back and raised his hands: "I won't go back. Someone will submit the report later."

It sounds like you don’t plan to write it yourself.

Ace nodded in agreement and followed Albatross into the car in silence.

"I've already had the sheep released." The two had nothing to say at the moment, so Dazai Osamu said with little interest, "But if it's up to you, this kind of thing will happen again and again."

“It’s none of your business.” Nakahara Chuuya felt even worse when he heard this and left immediately.

Dazai Osamu watched his back gradually disappearing, and suddenly sneered, adding a touch of eeriness to the empty and chaotic annex.

There won't be a next time.

Let me see what expression you would have if someone you trusted stabbed you in the back.

…

After leaving the annex, Ace did not go directly back to the Hong Kong Black Building, but went to the Port Hospital to check on Lan Tang's condition.

Lan Tang was wearing a ventilator and undergoing surgery in the operating room.

Dazai Osamu obviously didn't tell his subordinates anything. When Ace called him over to ask, he knew nothing. It was even worse for Lan Tang. All the subordinates who were close to him in the past died in the attack on Leibo Street that he staged himself. Now the remaining subordinates couldn't find out what was wrong with Lan Tang during this period even if they wanted to ask him.

Ace stood outside the operating room door and punched the wall with his clenched fist.

Damn it! We were getting along so well before, why did you do such a thing! ?

The anger and confusion in his heart were boiling, and Mori Ogai, who would normally calm him down rationally at this time, did not say anything. Ace stood outside the operating room door for a while before ordering the director who had rushed over after receiving the news: "Do your best to save his life. Notify me as soon as he wakes up."

Everyone who had gone to the annex with him was under a gag order, and Ace had no intention of making the matter public until he had found out why Lan Tang betrayed him.

The dean thought that the man sent here for treatment was a member of the Port Mafia who had just been discharged from the hospital and was seriously injured again so soon and was sent back for rescue. Si did not dare to neglect him and immediately responded, "Yes!"

But I still can't help but complain in my heart: The frequency of serious injuries is too high. Wasn't he discharged from the hospital two days ago? How come he is back now? I heard that this cadre is also a particularly powerful psychic. Is Yokohama so dangerous now? ?

…

After the incident with Lan Tang, Ace has been in low spirits ever since. Even the homework assigned by Sen Ouwai, he couldn't muster the energy to finish it.

After the exchange in the evening, Mori Ogai called over the highest-ranking person among Lan Tang's subordinates, handed over the tasks previously assigned to Lan Tang of comforting the family of the deceased and transferring the pension, and then took Alice out to walk on the street.

Alice held the ice cream cone in her hand and walked along the Tsurumi River with Mori Owl.

【Ace-kun.】

【……Um?】

[By the way...Did you read the report that Dazai-kun's subordinates just handed in? ]

[Ah, you mean the report on the "Arabato" investigation? ]

Dazai Osamu's main mission this time is actually to investigate the resurrection of the previous leader who is related to "Arabatu". The initial rumor is that the previous leader obtained the power of Arabatu and returned from hell to take revenge on the current port mafia, so both are parts that need to be investigated.

The confidential information about "Arabato" was written in advance by Dazai Osamu and was very concise. Some of it was old, yellowed paper - it was found in the ruins of a laboratory and was sent to his office in a file bag and sealed with wax.

After more than a month of crazy remedial classes outside of Mori Owl, Ace has now progressed to the point where he can read articles, but it is still a little difficult to read.

Dazai Osamu did not give Mori Ogai the report of this mission to Ace for reading, so the information Ace saw was vague.

However, he still understood the main information about Zhongyuan, which is the part about "Huang Ba Tu". The problem lies with the part about Lan Tang.

Two new names appeared in the Lantang section, one was Arthur Rimbaud and the other was Paul Verlaine.

Mori Owl stopped by the river and looked across the river at the city on the other side. The colorful neon lights were reflected on the rippling river surface, like swimming, colorful fish scales.

[Ace, if Lan Tang was the enemy from the beginning, would you still want to let him go? ]

【……】

This time Ace was silent for a long time. Moriogai did not urge him, but just looked at the city on the other side of the river quietly.

After a long while, he said softly: "I don't know, but I think after I get the answer from Lan Tang, I will probably know what to do."

Morigu sighed: [Lantang, Arthur Rimbaud, a Transcendent spy from the French officialdom. He was able to lurk in the Port Mafia for so many years, so he must have really lost his memory before.]

His target is "Aramaic Bator", and the Port Mafia does not have what he wants. Logically, there is no need for him to stay in the Port Mafia, and he has stayed there for so many years.

[It is a coincidence that he failed in his mission and stayed in Yokohama with amnesia because he was betrayed by his partner.]

[…Even if his identity is fake, his association with the Port Mafia and others for so many years is definitely not fake.]

Those memories and emotions can't be all false.

Ace thought about the brief competitions over the past month, and the person who loudly said "Nuan He" and clinked glasses with him that night. His feelings at that time were definitely not false.

【I want him to give me an answer in person.】
