Chapter 84
◎Shock! There's a traitor in the public security department◎
next day
Mu'an Jiaxi struggled to get up from the bed, slapping his forehead vigorously and clutching his chest. He grimaced and said, "I'm really experiencing sleep paralysis."
She now feels as if she has been beaten up, and everything feels uncomfortable.
She threw back the covers, put on her slippers, and walked out of the bedroom while stroking her messy hair. She walked drowsily to the center of the living room. Before she could do anything, someone supported her shoulders. A gentle and charming voice came from above her head, "Awake, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
There was concern in his words and he seemed very nervous.
She shook her head and said, "No, I just feel a tightness in my chest. I guess it's because I just got up."
Mu'an Jiaxi didn't care.
Amuro Toru's nerves quickly tensed up at her words, and he asked nervously, "Apart from this, is there anything else?"
Mu An Jiaxi replied honestly: "No more."
Then he thought of his dream last night and continued, "I had a very strange dream last night. It was so vivid that I still have sequelae after waking up. It's really the first time in my life that I've ever had such a dream."
Amuro Toru took her hand and walked to the sofa to sit down. He then returned to her room, took out a comb, and said, "Oh, what a dream."
He first smoothed her hair with his hands, and then combed it carefully.
Mu'an Jiaxi rubbed his solar plexus as he recalled, "Last night, I dreamed I was being chased by a giant monster. When I was completely exhausted, a huge rock suddenly fell from the sky and crushed me, choking me. It felt so real. When I woke up this morning, my whole body ached and my chest felt stuffy, as if I had actually experienced it myself."
Then he remembered something and continued, "But it's nothing. I had a similar dream when I was a child. I dreamed that I jumped off a building. I woke up with a cramp in my leg and cried loudly in pain. Hey, have you had this experience?" I asked him curiously.
Amuro Toru's eyes darkened, but he quickly put on a smile and said, "No, this is normal, don't be afraid."
She turned around and looked up at him and said, "I'm not scared. I'm just complaining to you. Why do I always encounter this kind of thing? It's okay to dream about it, but I can also feel pain. This is really annoying."
Amuro Toru turned her head away and said softly, "You must be too tired to do this. Don't think too much."
He slowly combed her hair straight, walked around the sofa and placed the comb on the coffee table. Then he went into the kitchen, brought out two plates of breakfast, placed them in front of her and said, "Come, have breakfast."
Just as Mu'an Jiaxi was about to drink the milk, he suddenly thought of something and looked at him and asked, "By the way, how is the scientist? Has he been transferred?"
Amuro Toru also sat down, moved the plate in front of himself and said, "It has been moved. The person is hiding in a secret place now."
Mu'an Jiaxi said, "That's good." She felt relieved and didn't ask where it was hidden.
After breakfast, Mu'an Jiaxi watched him go out and sent him to work, planning to take a nap after he left.
As a result, when she was watching him leave from the entrance, he came back and directly lifted her down from the stairs. He took out her shoes from the shoe cabinet and placed them at her feet, saying domineeringly, "You come with me."
This action completely stunned Mu'an Jiaxi. She didn't expect that this person was so strong. He put his hands under her armpits and lifted her up gently, then she lifted her down from the stairs as easily as lifting a child.
Wait, what did he say? Going to work with him. Although she had followed him to and from work before, he had never taken the initiative to ask for it. He had always let her do whatever she wanted. But what happened today? He took the initiative to ask her to go to work with him. Although he was confused, he said, "I'm still a little sleepy. I'll go over to accompany you later."
Amuro Toru said in a very firm tone: "No, you have to come with me."
The more he thought about what happened last night, the more uneasy he became. What if he hadn't come back last night? What if he had come back a little later? Wouldn't he have seen a dead body? He couldn't allow this to happen again.
Mu'an Jiaxi asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't it be the same if I went over to accompany you later?"
Amuro Toru stroked her face and said, "Be good. I want you to accompany me now, okay? I feel uneasy when you are not around, and it is easy to make mistakes at work. I can only work with peace of mind when you are by my side."
She tilted her head in disbelief and said, "Ah."
Why are you talking about love so early in the morning?
Mu'an Jiaxi was so elated by his words that she didn't know where she was. She felt a little happy in her heart. Is she so important?
Without asking for her consent, Toru Amuro pressed her shoulders, asked her to sit on the steps, and half-knelt down to put on her shoes with his own hands.
When Mu An Jiaxi came back to her senses, she was already sitting in the car. Looking at the sudden change in the surrounding environment, she said in surprise: "Hey, I haven't agreed yet."
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "I agree."
She said, "I'm sleepy."
Amuro Toru said, "Let's go to the Poirot Café later. I'll make room for you so you can rest there for a while, okay?"
He countered her moves and left her with no way to retreat.
Mu'an Jiaxi had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay." People were already on the way, what else could he say? Going back would be a waste of time and unnecessary.
He always felt that he was a little abnormal. Mu An Jiaxi thought about it and thought that he had been with him for so many days, so he must have gotten used to it, so that's why he was like this.
She didn't think much about it, and the car soon arrived at the Poirot Café. Toru Amuro dropped her off first, then drove to park the car, and finally walked there.
Taking the key to open the door, Amuro Toru went into the storage room to make room for Muan Jiaxi to rest. The space was quickly vacated, and after coming out, he asked her to go in and rest.
She didn't hesitate and walked in while yawning. The bed was actually a rectangular bed made of several wooden boxes put together, with a blanket on it. It should be what he brought from the car.
Although the bed was simple, it was thoughtfully made. She fell in love with it at first sight. She stepped on a stool and sat on it, then lay on her side, facing the wall and closing her eyes to rest. Soon she fell into a deep sleep and began to snore softly.
Toru Amuro was working in the front, washing dishes and greeting customers. There were a lot of people today, and Xiaozi just happened to have taken half a day off, so she would not come until the afternoon.
He was busy like a top, never touching the ground, but he didn't feel tired at all. He felt very satisfied. It must be because she was by his side, so the thought of her made him work with extra energy.
When Toru Amuro finally finished preparing food for the last customer in the store and finally had time to rest, the first thing he did was walk to the storage room, open the door and take a look inside.
The man was lying on the bed with his back to him, motionless. Judging from his appearance and breathing, he was still asleep.
Toru Amuro shook his head lovingly, closed the door gently, and went back behind the bar.
When Muan Jiaxi woke up again, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. She opened her eyes dazedly and reached for her phone. She found it quickly, but before she could press a button to light up the screen, a system voice suddenly rang in her mind: [Rum appeared wandering around 7-chome 28th.]
Mu'an Jiaxi was a little confused because he had just woken up. His first reaction was: He is really so idle.
She rubbed her half-open eyes, put on her shoes, and staggered out the door. There were basically no customers in the store at this time. Amuro Toru had his back to her and was doing something unknown. When he heard the sound, he turned to look at her and said softly, "You're awake. Go sit for a while. I'll get you something to eat."
She nodded and walked to her old seat and sat down. Not long after, Amuro Toru came out from behind the bar with a tray, walked over here, and placed the food on the table. She looked up and said, "Thank you."
Amuro Toru said: "Eat quickly."
She looked outside, estimated the time, and then said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? Take advantage of the free time now and eat something."
Toru Amuro didn't hesitate to put the plate in his hand on the bar, then came back and sat opposite her to eat with her.
Mu Anjiaxi had just taken a bite when the system's voice rang in his head again, "Rum has entered a distillery in the suburbs."
She continued to eat the food in her hand calmly. Winery, he is going back to the organization.
Wait, where did he go just now? Muan Jiaxi quickly recalled the matter. Looking at Amuro Toru in front of him, he thought for a moment and said, "I just got the news that Rum went to the vicinity of 7-chome 28."
Amuro Toru's expression changed slightly. Although it was not obvious, she still noticed it. The corner of her eye twitched and she whispered, "No way."
Amuro Toru nodded slightly and said, "Yeah."
Mu'an Jiaxi lowered his voice and said, "It's happened twice. You should check it out." It's happened twice. There can't be so many coincidences. There must be a problem inside. Someone must have leaked the information to them.
There was no change on Toru Amuro's face, and all his emotions were hidden very well, but from his hands slowly clenching into fists, it could be seen that he was filled with heavy anger.
Who wouldn't be angry about this kind of thing? If it happened to her, and there was an undercover agent or a traitor among her subordinates, she would be extremely angry and crazy, and would not feel comfortable until she pulled the person out and beat him up.
He quickly adjusted his mood, gradually loosened his grip, and said in a gentle voice, "Eat."
Mu'an Jiaxi looked at him with some concern, but in the end said nothing.
When they were halfway through their meal, Xiao Zi came and pushed open the door and said, "Mr. Amuro, thank you for your hard work this morning."
Seeing that there was no one at the bar, she was confused for a second, then turned her head and saw Amuro Toru sitting by the window with his back to her. She walked over and said, "Mr. Amuro, you are here."
Amuro Toru put his smile back on his face and said, "Miss Xiaozi."
Mu'an Jiaxi saw her and raised his hand to greet her, "Miss Xiaozi." He looked at Amuro Toru and said, "By the way, Miss Xiaozi, I want to ask you for leave on his behalf. We have something to do this afternoon and may need to take half a day off. Could you please look after the store?"
She asked for leave for Toru Amuro first because this matter needed to be dealt with quickly and promptly. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would be. They both knew about it, but she spoke up first.
Xiao Zi immediately smiled inexplicably, and said with an expression that said, "That's no problem. I'll tell the store manager. Are you going on a date with me?"
Mu'an Jiaxi just smiled and didn't explain, letting her misunderstand.
After they finished the food on their plates, they said goodbye to Xiaozi, headed towards the parking lot, and drove away quickly.
