Chapter 168 A Bet's a Bet



The sniper rifle that hit Yoruichi Toyama was later found in the women's restroom on the third floor of the hotel.

Two bullets were fired at the scene, which is consistent with the information the police had.

But the remaining bullets and guns were simply discarded, and the person who fired them vanished without a trace.

“It was right of her not to leave with a gun,” Yoruichi Toyama said. “Who would stop a female celebrity?”

Amuro Tooru's eyes flickered.

"You recognized her? She didn't say she'd revealed her true colors to you?"

Auntie Absinthe is actually playing both sides.

Yoruichi Toyama pursed her lips.

"I think she's hoping I'll recognize her!"

"At the party, he implied that Kenzo Masuyama should throw his pistol in the trash can, and he repeatedly contradicted me."

"In the end, they spared his life."

What exactly is she trying to do?

"Don't ask me!" Amuro Tooru pressed his temples, looking quite troubled. "No one can figure out that aunt's capriciousness."

"At this point, we can only speculate that she has a unique interest in you..."

Yuanshan Ye Yi suddenly felt pain all over his body from his injuries.

A warm hand gently took his hand.

"It's alright, let her come," Akemi said with a smile.

"This time, Yoruichi and I will face her together."

Yoichi Toyama wanted to object, but before she could speak, her lips were already covering her other hand.

"Don't speak." She was still smiling, but her smile changed, revealing her sharp canine teeth.

"The doctor said that in addition to the gunshot wound, you also have many old wounds that haven't healed."

"I need to settle this score with her face to face."

The usually gentle and kind young lady was now gritting her teeth, looking just like a tigress whose cubs had been snatched away.

Yoruichi Toyama and Tooru Amuro both felt a chill run down their spines.

“I’m sorry, Toyama,” Amuro Tooru said with some regret, “I couldn’t control Vermouth’s actions.”

"There are many leads involving her, so we can't arrest her for the time being..."

Yuanshan Ye nodded slightly.

From his perspective, the distillery had indeed been thoroughly infiltrated and riddled with holes.

But it still stands strong today.

There must be top secrets that none of the various factions have been able to obtain.

It's definitely not because Teacher 73 wanted to scam money, hmm.

"Oh, right, there's some good news too." In the midst of an awkward silence, Amuro Tooru decisively changed the subject.

This is indeed good news.

Because Kenzo Masuyama was safely taken into police custody, he quickly provided a great deal of information.

Among the most important items are the encrypted APTX4869 formula and all experimental records.

"Does Ai have something to do?" Yoruichi Toyama asked immediately. "Is it possible to get an antidote to restore her health?"

Amuro Tooru shrugged.

"I'm not an expert in this area, but I heard she's been staying up all night doing experiments lately."

That means there is hope.

Although this is not the time for Shiho Miyano to return, hope is better than anything else.

Yoruichi Toyama smiled at Akemi, about to say something, when the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open.

"Hey, you second-rate detective brat, you're injured and you still have so much to say!"

Uncle Kogoro called out in his usual disapproving tone.

"Just getting shot doesn't make you a hero, it's unbearable!"

As the uncle spoke, he turned his back to the door and made faces.

Yoruichi Toyama and the others immediately saw the figure walking in behind him.

She has a tall and graceful figure, and her light-colored suit exudes understated elegance, which complements the light blue bouquet of orchids in her arms.

The young lady of the Lanze Group glanced around and nodded slightly to everyone in the ward.

“Yuanshan!” she called out affectionately, “I only found out you were injured from the news.”

Is it any better now?

After a long pause, Yoruichi Toyama finally managed to force a smile.

"Yoruichi was seriously injured this time and is still very weak," Akemi replied politely.

She stood up as his official girlfriend, bowed slightly, accepted the bouquet of flowers from Lan Zexi, and placed it in the empty water bottle on the bedside table.

"Thank you so much for visiting, Miss Akane, but we really can't entertain guests here." As she spoke, she stood firmly between Akane and Yoruichi's hospital beds.

"Please go back quickly, Miss Xiaoxi."

Lan Zexi paused for a moment, then gave a tolerant smile.

Sparks seemed to begin to flicker in the air.

“No need for hospitality,” she said. “I came to see the distant mountains; how can I let Miss Akemi entertain me?”

"Since Yuanshan needs someone to take care of him, I think I can help."

"There's nothing I can ask Miss Akane for help with."

"There probably are..."

"No!"

"have!"

Yoruichi Toyama coughed helplessly, "Well, actually..."

"Don't speak!" The two girls, who had been at odds, suddenly turned to him and shouted in unison.

Yoruichi Toyama shrank back in fright.

Amuro Tooru, who had inadvertently witnessed a scene of carnage, helplessly covered his face while giving Yoruichi Toyama a wink under his hand.

"Uh, Master Kogoro, we have guests in the mountains, let's not disturb them for now."

Kogoro, who seemed to understand the atmosphere, nodded and took his leave with his top disciple.

Lan Zexi took the initiative to close the door, and when she turned around, her smile was already the unfathomable one of Vermouth.

Mingmei maintained her previous posture, as if she were guarding her own territory.
