Chapter 27
After Yuken Yajing's car entered the building, Fūya Rei has been lurking on the opposite side of the building, monitoring everyone and everything around. However, he did not expect that the other party had already placed people inside the building and were waiting in the underground garage early.
There was a blind spot for surveillance. After being knocked unconscious, Koizumi Na was taken directly into the vehicle that carried supplies in and out of the building every day and left. The cars of Takahashi Masako and Miken Masaki also left half an hour later.
When he saw the two people's car driving away, he didn't think much about it. Because the other car's windows were one-way windows and he couldn't see the people inside, he thought Koizumi Na was also in the car.
I followed the two of them back to the villa area and never left the house again.
He did not suspect anything, but just silently observed the slightest movement outside Yu Jian's house through the surveillance.
It wasn't until late at night that he received a call from Yu Jian Ya Jing, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He turned on the signal receiver and began to track the tracking signal on Koizumi Nai, only to find that the signal had been stuck in a relatively untouched mountainous area near the city.
The signal has not moved at that location.
It would be great if the other party didn't find the tracker, but I'm afraid they've already found it and this is just a trick they set up... But no matter what, I have to look for it!
After all, this is the only clue we have at the moment...
After contacting a professional search and rescue team, Rei Fūya followed the signal all the way to the forest, and successfully found the necklace hanging on the bushes on the side of the mountain road.
The necklace was intact, even the clasp was still securely fastened to it. It didn't look like it was pulled off maliciously, but rather like it had fallen off accidentally.
So it's very likely that those people brought Koizumi to this remote mountain area, and the necklace was too loose and accidentally dropped on the side of the road...
"Mr. Jōtani, we found footprints on the main road and the side road not far away. Judging from the size of the footprints, they don't look like they belong to an adult. It's probably because of the midday and night fog that softened the soil..."
Fūya Rei was delighted and immediately made a decision: "The search and rescue team will follow me to the side road first, and the others will continue to follow along the main road..."
They followed the footprints all the way and finally found the unconscious Koizumi Na at the foot of the hill.
This is how the incident began and ended.
"She has a fractured pelvis and multiple abrasions, especially on her hands. There's a lot of rust on the wounds, and she'll need a tetanus shot after cleaning. She also has signs of mild food poisoning... Her vital signs are very stable at the moment, so there's no need to worry. But, do you think that child really walked that long on the mountain alone? It's incredible... Even an adult would struggle to do that..."
Why do this when you can just stay where you are and wait for rescue?
The doctor sighed in confusion: "What on earth drove her to this point?"
Looking at the unconscious girl in the ward, Rei Furuya said, "Maybe it's because there's someone I want to protect no matter what."
While successfully rescuing Koizumi Na, teammates from another team also successfully broke into the hiding place of those guys and controlled them. Cooperating with senior classmate Emi who was abroad, the two sides staged a big drama of intelligence and hostage exchange, and finally successfully captured the mastermind behind the scenes.
It was because she took such a big risk that all these achievements were made.
So your patience is not in vain.
This makes sense.

When I woke up, the nurse was helping me change the infusion needle. She probably didn't expect me to open my eyes quietly, so she was startled by me.
No, why are you looking like, "Wow, you're actually alive!"?!
She called the attending physician for me, and only then did I realize that I had been in a coma for two whole weeks.
The minor injuries on his body have almost healed, except for the soft tissue contusions on his hands and hips, which are so severe that they are still wrapped in thick gauze and require daily dressing changes. Although the fractured pelvis has been treated, he will not be able to walk for the next two months and needs to rest until he is fully healed.
The doctor simply checked my various indicators and left without finding anything abnormal.
The ward is a single room with a bed, bedside table, wardrobe, sofa and coffee table, and a large window that overlooks the green belt outside. It makes people feel that this place is not like a hospital, but rather a small hotel with a warm decoration.
I was wondering how I could afford such a high-end single room, and then I saw a bouquet of flowers on the bedside table.
It was a bunch of beautiful pink bell flowers. The caregiver kindly helped me remove the wrapping paper and placed them in a transparent vase.
I stared at the bouquet of flowers for a while until Zero arrived.
He also brought a bouquet of flowers.
It's a bunch of green lisianthus.
It seems that this bouquet of wind chimes was not made by Zero.
"It's so good to see you awake. How does it feel?"
He sat down beside my bed and peeled an orange for me.
I didn't take it and shook my head to refuse. I opened my mouth to speak, but found that my voice had become unusually dry and hoarse because I hadn't spoken for too long.
"...Aunt Huimei, is there any news?"
I quietly clutched the sheet underneath.
Furuya Rei replied, "Don't worry, Emi-sister is safe now, but there are still some things to do. Even though she won't be back until next week... you'll be able to see her next week at the earliest. If... never mind... But, thanks to you, our operation was a huge success. We almost wiped out those terrorist organizations..."
I noticed the strangeness in his words and asked, "Zero, what are you going to do?"
He rubbed the back of his head and asked, "Why do you ask?"
"Because you're like, 'I'm so jealous of you being able to meet Emi-sama!'"
"I see... Haha, I received a notice from my superiors the day before yesterday that I would be carrying out a potentially long undercover mission, and I have to leave tomorrow... So if Sister Huimei comes back, I might not have the chance to see her. But luckily, Nana, you woke up today, and seeing you wake up, I'm relieved..."
After this incident, I suddenly realized that their job is not easy. Every minute and every second of fighting those criminals is like walking on a tightrope on a cliff. If they are not careful, they will fall down and be smashed to pieces.
Zero's figure seemed to become taller all of a sudden!
"I really like your admiring look. Can you give me a few more?"
He laughed.
I rolled my eyes at him, and those strange filters shattered instantly.
Suddenly, he pinched my cheeks and kneaded them repeatedly, muttering to himself, "Little boy, don't wake up with such a bitter face. If you don't smile more and move your facial muscles, they will become stiff and ugly!"
I was pinched so hard that my words were unclear. I stared at him with my eyes wide open. "...Then I really do thank you..."
"You're welcome."
He stayed in the ward for about twenty minutes, then looked at the time to leave. In his own words, he didn't know when he would see her again after this meeting.
Before leaving, I called him and it took him a long time to utter, "Be careful."
"certainly."
After Ling left, the ward became deserted again. I saw the orange that Ling had peeled when he was here still lying on the bedside table. In the spirit of not wasting anything, I picked it up and ate a slice.
I immediately grimaced with jealousy. ! !
Zero, you actually plotted against me!
Then, an unexpected visitor arrived.
It’s Yu Jian Yajing.
He came to visit me with a basket of beautifully packaged fruits that looked very valuable. He looked at the flowers in the vase by my bed and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
I immediately understood that the flowers were sent by him, and this single room, which looked expensive, was probably also designed by him.
But why did he do that?
Because of Masako Takahashi?
He said casually, "I formally requested a divorce from Masako last week."
ah?
How come after being in a coma for two weeks, the world suddenly changed?
Seeing my look of doubt and confusion, he suddenly looked away awkwardly, pretending to cough before slowly speaking, "You don't have to treat me like a bad person and be on guard against me... I, didn't know about what happened between you and Masako before..."
Then he slowly turned around and looked me in the eye, saying word by word: "Nana, I'm sorry."
His tone was sincere, which surprised me a little.
After all, his condescending attitude and the precise words he spoke when he was confronting Zero with the legal documents really left a deep impression on people's minds.
But at the same time I also understand that it's not his fault.
"It doesn't matter."
He also told me about what had happened in the past two weeks. The scene where Masako Takahashi and I had an argument at the psychiatric clinic that day happened to be filmed and released. Because Masako Takahashi was a well-known figure, someone followed these clues and found out about our past experiences in the United States. The more we dug, the more secrets we found.
Eventually, what she had done was reported, and now her reputation in the circle is completely ruined.
She stayed at home all day and dared not go out, fearing the gossip and criticism of others.
I looked at Mr. Yu Jian Yajing, who was nonchalant. Although I had long guessed that he didn't have much real feelings for my mother and simply wanted to find a mother for Angel that she was interested in, he seemed a little too cold.
Obviously, with his financial resources and influence, he could easily cover up this matter even if it was exposed by the media, right?
Is it because of me?
"Don't be so conceited. I didn't divorce Masako because of you. I just felt we weren't a good match. Unsuitable people and things should be cut off as soon as possible to avoid future trouble. This is my precious life experience as your short-lived, cheap stepfather, and I'm giving it to you for free."
Me: “…then you are a very nice person…”
He ignored my sarcastic tone and continued, "...Masako has nothing left now. You are all that's left."
"What do you mean? To persuade me to go back and follow her?"
He glared at me angrily, looking as if he was disappointed in me. "What I mean is, she has nothing now. The only thing she can hold on to is you. When people reach the end of their rope, they desperately want to hold on to everything they can... It seems like she's planning to leave Japan and start anew."
He then added, "Take you with me."
Me: “I’m not going with her.”
"The law doesn't consider it that way..."
As he said that, he took out his business card and handed it to me.
"However, as long as there's enough information and evidence to prove she's not qualified to be a guardian, the court might have a different opinion... You're lucky. I haven't taken on a case in a long time, but if it's your case, I can be your lawyer... For Angel's sake, I can give you a discount."
I looked down at the business card. On the simple white card were only two lines of words:
"Yu Jian Law Firm, Yu Jian Yajing."
Of course I know what this card means. I have secretly searched for information about this lawyer Yu Jian on the Internet before. He has never lost a case in more than ten years of his career. As long as he is willing to take on a case, no matter how troublesome it is, he will always win.
He is a gold medal lawyer known as the ever-victorious general.
If he were to fight this lawsuit, Takahashi Masako would not only lose in all likelihood, but would have no chance of winning at all.
I was about to say thank you, but suddenly another question came to my mind——
"If you don't understand, just ask, Mr. Yajing, what is your appearance fee?"
He said: "According to the previous market price, it would be about 200,000 yen per hour."
Are you going to rob a bank and make two hundred thousand in an hour?
Oh no, this is more profitable than robbing a bank!
