73 Are you going to rush in?
◎ Throwing objects from high places is strictly prohibited◎
Chihoko Hanano suddenly opened her eyes and realized that she had been scared out of her wits and was sweating profusely.
Chihoko Hanano suddenly came back to her senses and smelled the scent of disinfectant.
Is this... a hospital?
Catching a familiar figure from the corner of her eye, Hanano Chiheko turned to look and exclaimed in surprise, "Mrs. Aoki?!"
Mrs. Aoki touched Hanano Chihoko's head, with some pity in her eyes, "Silly child, you must have suffered a lot."
"I……"
Only then did Chihoko Hanano feel the severe pain coming from her ribs and couldn't help frowning.
"Don't worry, it's just a deep cut," Mrs. Aoki said as she wiped Hanano Chiheko's sweat with a tissue. "But there's no internal damage, so it's nothing serious."
Hanano Chiheko said: "It was my brother who saved me?"
Mrs. Aoki nodded.
"What about my brother?" Hanano Chiheko ignored the pain of her wound and immediately tried to get up. "And Shibata Shoichi, he was shot. Is he still alive?"
Seeing Chihoko Hanano's actions, Mrs. Aoki hurried forward to support Chihoko Hanano.
"Even though I've taken effective medication, I can't do any strenuous exercise suddenly. It could easily strain the wound!"
Seeing Hanano Chihoko still restless, Mrs. Aoki reassured her, "Don't worry, young lady. Although Mr. Shibata was shot and lost a lot of blood, the surgery was successful and he's out of danger now."
When Chihoko Hanano heard the news, she was stunned for a moment before she was sure that she had not heard it wrong.
My brother actually brought Masaichi Shibata back home.
Hanano Chiheko, feeling a strange mixture of emotions, stopped moving and said to Mrs. Aoki, "I want to go see him. Is that okay?"
Mrs. Aoki hadn't received any orders to completely isolate Hanano Chihoko, so she nodded immediately, "Of course."
In the ward, Shibata Masashi, with pale lips, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The white air on the breathing mask was coming out intermittently, indicating that the owner's vital signs were still there.
Chihoko Hanano let out a long breath and felt the blood in her body gradually warm up.
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..."
Hanano Chihoko muttered to herself for a while, then turned to Mrs. Aoki and asked, "What about my brother?"
"My lord, he..."
Mrs. Aoki hesitated for a moment. "I have an urgent mission right now, so it may take a short time... But it doesn't matter. My Lord specifically told me to take good care of you."
"What urgent mission?" Hanano Chihoko looked at Mrs. Aoki and asked lightly.
"That... I don't know either." Mrs. Aoki stroked her hair unconsciously. "Miss, you should just rest and recuperate here. When you're better, the master will come over."
Hanano Chihoko grabbed Mrs. Aoki's hand, which had not yet been released, and looked directly into her eyes. "You always do this every time you lie."
Mrs. Aoki's expression changed slightly, and there was a moment of panic in her eyes. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain something: "I..."
"Tell me the truth." Hanano Chiheko interrupted bluntly.
There was a sharp chill in Hanano Chihoko's voice. Mrs. Aoki, who had been with Gin for more than ten years, was not unfamiliar with this feeling.
In this game that both parties are well aware of, Mrs. Aoki obviously has no room for quibbling.
"I'm sorry, I don't know where the adults are going," said Mrs. Aoki.
Hanano Chihoko saw that Mrs. Aoki didn't seem to be lying, so she immediately started to leave and said, "Then I'll find it myself."
She didn't want to move when she was stopped by Mrs. Aoki. Mrs. Aoki said hard, "I'm sorry, Miss. The master gave an order before he left. You are not allowed to leave here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Aoki tensed up, fearing that Chihoko Hanano might make any big move at any time.
Hanano Chiheko glanced at the men in black standing not far away and said casually, "I'm sleepy."
The topic changed so quickly that Mrs. Aoki was stunned for a moment before she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, good, then we'll go back and rest."
It started raining heavily outside at some point, and with a loud thunderclap, the lights in the ward, which had been off, suddenly became as bright as day.
Chihoko Hanano stood by the window, recalling the gunshots and screams before she fell into coma, and the memories in her mind gradually became clearer.
There is limited information that can be used from the masked man, and it has already been used up when Hanano Chihoko was dealing with him.
The only one left is... the man in sunglasses.
Chihoko Hanano could feel the man in sunglasses' fear of her.
This can be seen from the fact that they were easily persuaded by Hanano Chihoko and did not kill Shibata Masaru immediately.
So, the only person who could scare these armed criminals was Gin behind her, and Chihoko Hanano could not think of anyone else.
From the slave to the master, then who is afraid of Gin and has the motive to deal with his sister?
Thinking of the words that Vodka was about to say but were interrupted by his brother that day, the vague inference he had always had gradually became clear in Hanano Chiheko's mind.
If that’s the case…
Chihoko Hanano suddenly had an ominous premonition. Given her brother's personality, he would never let the culprit who kidnapped her go easily.
What consequences will it bring if a core member of the organization who is capable of competing with his brother is sacrificed for her, an outsider of the organization?
Putting all this aside, after this incident, her whereabouts were completely exposed under the organization's nose. She had nowhere to hide, but her brother still tried to hide her.
If we look at it from the perspective of the organization, it is hard not to doubt Gin's personal selfishness, or even his loyalty to the organization.
Chihoko Hanano didn't know what Gin was really thinking, but she could imagine what Gin would suffer if he continued like this.
The only thing she can do now is to stop Gin from sacrificing himself in vain and to stand up and bear the consequences.
Chihoko Hanano couldn't help but tighten her hands that were hanging by her side.
Mrs. Aoki looked at Hanano Chiheko, who was staring at the lightning in a trance at the window. She felt a little uneasy in her heart and asked, "Miss, aren't you sleepy?"
Hanano Chiheko seemed to come back to her senses at this moment and turned her head: "Mrs. Aoki, will you sleep with me tonight?"
"Yes." Mrs. Aoki said, "I will stay by your bedside in case anything inconveniences you."
In other words, I can stay in the ward forever, Chihoko Hanano thought calmly.
Mrs. Aoki then brought out some special medicine and said, "It's almost time, Miss, please take the medicine first."
"good."
Chihoko Hanano wanted to get some water from the cup on the table, but because of the wound, her movements were inevitably slow.
"I'll be fine."
Mrs. Aoki quickly got some water for Chihoko Hanano, watched her take the medicine, and then took the cup of water and put it back on the table.
"Well……"
A muffled groan sounded silently in the darkness.
Hanano Chiheko helped Mrs. Aoki to the bed next to her and said silently, "I'm sorry, I can't leave my brother alone."
Time was running out, and Hanano Chiheko couldn't delay any longer. She lifted the bed sheet and said, "Swish..."
The height of the fourth floor is neither high nor low.
In the heavy rain, Chihoko Hanano held on tightly to the rope made of cloth strips and lowered herself down bit by bit.
The rain slowly soaked Chihoko Hanano's entire body. The wall was extremely slippery, so Chihoko Hanano could only carefully step on the wall to fall down.
After finally sliding halfway, Chiheko Hanano suddenly felt a slight sound from the rope in her hand.
At first, Chihoko Hanano thought she had misheard, until she realized that even if she didn't move, the rope would still pull her down little by little.
Hanano Chiheko's heart trembled.
Oh no!
