Chapter 14
Perhaps the other person was really a policeman, and his physical fitness was excellent due to long-term training. He just fainted on the ground for a few minutes, and then woke up with his hands covering his head and a look of pain on his face.
He graciously forgave me for the blow, and explained to me how it had all happened.
The incident started when he received a secret text message from Aunt Huimei eight hours ago. The message said that she had obtained some confidential documents of an overseas extremist organization and was about to report it to the International Public Security Bureau. However, an undercover agent from the extremist organization appeared in the team and leaked their personal information to the other party.
So they were all hunted by members of the organization. Even though she had found a way to avoid the trap set for her, if they couldn't catch her, they would definitely turn their attention to her only relative in the country - me, and would use them against me to force her to show up and hand over the confidential documents.
So in the letter, she asked Rei Furuya to come to her house, at least to completely resolve the matter and protect my personal safety.
"...That's what happened... The gate password was given to me by Senior Sister Huimei..."
I was stunned by what I heard, as if I were watching an old Hong Kong movie, Young and Dangerous? Or Line Walker?
Wait a moment--
It took me a long time to find my voice again. "...You mean...Senior Emi? Are you talking about Aunt Emi? Um...Excuse me, did you graduate from...Todai?"
Aunt Huimei graduated with a Ph.D. in biological sciences from the University of Tokyo. Could he also be... a top student at the University of Tokyo?
As expected, top students only play with top students?
“…Todai?”
He first showed a puzzled expression, then suddenly realized and smiled brightly.
"You mean the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Academy? Senior Emi and I both graduated from that school. She was five years older than me. Although she graduated earlier than me, her legend has always been circulating in the academy... She was the first person to graduate with straight A's and held the top grade for three consecutive years. She even defeated a retired world-class fighting champion who had held the championship for two consecutive years in the final martial arts competition. She's a legendary figure, isn't she~"
His face was filled with admiration and respect for Aunt Huimei.
My pupils dilated. The ironclad facts were almost right in front of me, but asking me to suddenly change the impression I had of Aunt Huimei over the years was really a test of my ability to accept.
Especially my Aunt Huimei, a researcher who can't lift anything with her hands or shoulders, who defeated... a retired world-class fighting champion...
"To be honest, I'm Qin Shi Huang. I'm not dead, but I've found the elixir of immortality. Now, all you have to do is V me 50,000, and when I rule this country one day, I'll make you a founding minister..."
Fūya Rei raised an eyebrow at me. "You mean, you'd rather believe you're Qin Shi Huang than believe I'm a police officer?"
Now it was my turn to be surprised. "I didn't expect that an old man like you is so up to date with the latest trends. You even know this kind of joke..."
"It's not uncle, it's brother Furuya..."
Then he picked up the wallet that I had just thrown aside and took out a bank card from the innermost layer. There was actually a small compartment inside, and inside the compartment was a photo.
There are six people in the photo, five men and one woman, all wearing police uniforms, and the woman in the middle is none other than Aunt Huimei.
The aunt in the photo seems to be much younger than she is now. Her eyes are full of smiles, and she looks more righteous. She is wearing a police uniform and looks very heroic.
I suddenly felt that Aunt Huimei had become a stranger.
"In short, little sister, if what Sister Huimei said is true, then you are in a very dangerous situation now. You must leave here with me..."
"Wait,"
I called out to him. Although the whole thing seemed ridiculous, if it was really like this...
"Is Aunt Huimei still alive? I just saw a news report on TV...the plane she was on crashed..."
"We're not sure about the situation over there yet. Our people are already negotiating with the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs to request an investigation into the crashed plane. We'll probably have a conclusion in the next day or two..." His face became very serious, but he couldn't help but smile soothingly to avoid scaring me. "But I believe in Sister Huimei. She's so smart. She must be hiding somewhere, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow to the enemy."
His eyes were sparkling, which made me sigh.
Oh my god, you are so adorable!
However, his words gave me some comfort. Perhaps at a time like this, no news is the best news.
Rei Furuya was planning to take me to the police's safe house to hide for a while. Just as I was climbing over the wall and preparing to pack my luggage, Rei Furuya suddenly heard some unusual noises.
“Drip—drip—drip—”
Like a countdown, the sound became louder and more rapid as time went on, so much so that I stopped, looked at him with a puzzled look, and asked:
"What's that noise?"
Realizing some dangerous and terrifying signal, Fūya Ling's face changed, and then he picked me up horizontally, carried me on his shoulders, and broke out of the window.
"Sizzle—"
His arms blocked the way, deflecting the shards of glass, but I subconsciously closed my eyes and let out a very ungraceful, tragic scream—
"ah!!!"
My scream was accompanied by a violent explosion. A powerful heat wave rushed towards us. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I was pulled forward by the heat wave behind me and fell heavily to the ground.
What...happened?
I stood up from the ground in a daze and looked back. The house was already ablaze, cutting through the dark night sky.
"Damn it! Are they so cruel as to set a time bomb? If we had come a little later..."
Furiya Ling looked at the house behind him, the firelight illuminating his face, making him look solemn and serious. He turned around and looked at me with a worried look on his face.
"Little sister, you are not scared, are you..."
I was really scared... The guy looked a little handsome when he broke through the window...
However, there is a more important issue at the moment -
"Well, this house was damaged while on duty. Does your organization have a compensation mechanism? This house isn't cheap..."
Jianggu Ling: "..."
