Chapter 70 [This is “My Wife”]
For Zhu Fujingguang, this was not the first time that he had to stop most of his work just to recuperate.
The experiences of his childhood are hard to erase. Even though the murderer who caused everything has been arrested by him, the pain caused is buried deep in his heart and follows him like a shadow.
When he was healthy, he was too busy with life and work to reminisce about the past. Now, as his body weakened, not only did the feeling of powerlessness from his childhood return, but the psychological trauma caused by the blow also began to ache.
He had thought it had healed and shouldn't feel any more pain. But now he realized that once a wound is inflicted, even if it heals, it's just granulation tissue stitching together, not the same functional integrity and resistance to external damage as a part that had never been injured.
Even now, Zhufu Jingguang's mind still believed he was healthy and well-trained, but his body couldn't keep up. The gap between his consciousness and reality made him feel the most terrible anxiety.
He couldn't improve his physical condition simply by taking medicine. The slow and conservative rehabilitation treatment was as painful as cutting flesh with a blunt knife.
Sometimes he was happy that his body had recovered slightly, but at the same time he was worried that it would take a long time for him to return to his peak condition.
This wasn't the way police officers should be, his training told him.
If Zhu Fu Jingguang was still in the organization and was in such a restless state, the organization would only think that he had rebellious intentions.
"Sayuri, does the doctor agree that I can increase my exercise?" Zhu Fujingguang asked the girl for the umpteenth time, which frightened the person who was concentrating on drawing so much that his hand trembled and an abrupt line appeared on the screen.
Fortunately, the most important beauty of electronic drafts is that you can use ctrl+z to return to the previous step.
Only one line being drawn is lost.
My wife Sayuri opened her eyes wide and looked at him. Her eyes were still big, black, bright and lively without wearing colored contact lenses, much more beautiful than her eyes with bright colors but dull appearance.
Therefore, he looks particularly innocent at this moment.
She briefly recalled the doctor's words, thinking about how to better explain them to the patient so that she would accept them. She slowly said, "The doctor said that the body needs to recover through nutrition to allow cells to grow, and exercise to guide functional recovery."
"You've just regained consciousness, and your body is still in a low metabolism phase. Even if you resume eating, you won't be able to regain the lost muscle immediately."
"After these few days, when you can eat normally again, the doctor will increase your exercise even if you don't tell me."
The girl's words made sense, but it was not what Zhu Fujingguang wanted to hear.
He believed that the amount of exercise that the doctor had "increased" would certainly not be as much as his previous training volume.
This is inevitable. How can the amount of exercise for ordinary people's normal life, the amount of exercise for athletes' competition, and the amount of training for the purpose of survival as strong as possible be compared?
You cannot compare other people's interests with his own pursuit of survival; they are fundamentally different things.
In other words, he can still keep in touch with Fūya Rei, otherwise, even if he had to force his way out of the hospital, he would have to run out and recover as soon as possible.
"Didn't Jingguang contact Furuya-kun before? Is there any need to rush back?"
Yes, reconnecting with Rei Furuya was his biggest confidence. But how could he dare to transfer all the risks to his friend?
Based on the actual situation and a few concealments and fabrications, Rei Furuya reported to the organization that Scotland was accidentally injured and had symptoms of amnesia, and was just "taken in" by a private clinic, where he worked to pay off his debts while receiving treatment.
Bourbon is also developing plans for engagement with Scotland as the hospital is located on private property.
Of course, the organization wanted to capture Scotland immediately to see if his amnesia was real or not, and what he had been doing during the time he was missing.
But the hidden family in Tokyo mentioned by Bourbon is indeed a problem.
The reason why the organization has been able to thrive for so long is not only because of its huge financial backing, but also because of its ability to hide in this bustling city.
Even if they carry out explosions, murder, arson, kidnapping and imprisonment, the police and other regulatory agencies cannot punish them as long as the victims cannot tell the public about the incidents.
If you understand your own strength and judge others by yourself, you will naturally be afraid of families that also have huge economic backing and are hidden in the dark side of the urban power circle.
"Furiya..." Morofushi Kagemitsu chewed on the name the girl blurted out, recalling the familiarity that Agatsuma Sayuri showed towards them when they separated.
He closed his eyes and answered clearly, "Zero has such a plan. Wasn't it your suggestion?"
"So, what's the story behind 'My Wife's Family'?"
How many things are you hiding from me?
Thinking that there was no reason to ask the girl such in-depth questions, Zhu Fujingguang kept his words within a less aggressive range.
My wife, Sayuri, didn't react negatively to his question. She scratched her head sheepishly and smiled awkwardly. "I'm not quite sure myself. You know I have amnesia. Suddenly one day, someone told me that I was a member of their family."
"...You're able to live in Mori Yuya because of the financial support from my wife's family, right?"
"Hmm...otherwise I definitely wouldn't be so extravagant." She checked her fingers and added, "With the savings I had at the time, moving to a new place wasn't really feasible."
Even with the 300,000 yen sponsored by Morufushi Kagemitsu, my wife Sauri would still have difficulty finding a shared rental house without the help of her family.
At that time, she concealed the fact that Zhu Fujingguang had returned to the family and had no choice but to accept his money. Thinking about it now, she felt quite embarrassed.
In a normal relationship, it's fine for a man and a woman to spend some of the necessities of life on each other. Rent is usually shared when two people live together, and my wife Sayuri felt guilty about having Morifushi Kagemitsu pay so much alone.
Especially since she has no expenses at all.
I couldn't say it then, but now that it's been brought up, my wife Sayuri quickly said, "Speaking of which, the money you gave me...why don't you take it back?"
It's impossible to say that Zhu Fujingguang has no money. As someone who receives a salary from both the public security and the organization, his income can only increase, not decrease.
You have to know that the salary of ordinary police officers is not low, belonging to the upper middle class of society. And the illegal organizations pay even more, otherwise who would do such a thing as killing people?
Snipers like Scotland would earn a small fortune just by going on a mission. If they fired a gun, the price would increase several times, and if they killed someone, the price would be even higher.
Even if he has no missions in a month, he still has basic living expenses, and most of his living expenses and mission-related expenses can be "reimbursed" by the organization.
With low expenses and high income, Zhu Fujingguang didn't care much about the 300,000 yuan. He gave this amount based on the amount that an ordinary part-time worker could save, and he didn't think about taking it back after giving it out.
When my wife Sayuri mentioned this sum of money, he was obviously stunned.
"...Take it, what's given to you is yours." Whether it was because he didn't notice his girlfriend's condition or they were deceiving each other, he didn't want to pursue it any further.
He wanted to put the past behind him, just like the words he left before he stopped contacting my wife Sayuri, he wanted to think about their feelings.
This time, he was thinking on the premise that the woman understood his job, his behavior and all the consequences.
The topic briefly deviated, and my wife Sayuri took the initiative to pick up the thread again, "I still don't remember much about my family. I can simply assume that it's a wealthy family."
"This hospital is...?"
"Well, this hospital is an internal one of our family, so it won't involve anyone outside of our family. That's why we dared to let Bourbon investigate."
"You are putting your family in danger." Just like when Morofushi Kagemitsu dragged Agatsuma Sayuri into danger.
The girl leaned against the window, the sunlight poured down, shining on her like a thriving daisy swaying in the wind.
She smiled in the light, a brilliant smile that was completely different from that of one of his classmates in the police academy.
"Jingguang, you don't think that I have been carrying this just for fun, do you?" She raised her hand, holding a doll pendant made based on the prototype of Morobushi Jingguang.
The doll is wearing a hospital gown, with a frown between her brows and a tear in the corner of her eye, clearly looking unhappy. The doll with big eyes and such an expression is both adorable and pitiful, and one can't help but want to kiss, hug, and hold her high.
When they first met, Agatsuma Sayuri was wearing Keimitsu Morofushi's merchandise, perhaps it was simply out of love. But after they met, the fact that she was still wearing these merchandise meant that she had a different purpose.
Morofushi Kagemitsu even had an irresistible speculation that it might be possible that the original reason for their meeting, the doll that "accidentally" appeared during the interview, was also the bait put out by my wife Sayuri to catch him?
The man held his forehead. After not seeing him for so long, he'd assumed that just like my wife, Sayuri, had given up wearing makeup, she'd also given up wearing accessories featuring his image.
"Since you know everything, what is the purpose?"
"At first, I was threatening you, Jingguang." The girl smiled and said lines that were completely opposite to her bright smile.
“…What…” That’s what came out!
Morufushi Kagemitsu was so shocked that he was speechless. He did feel that he was being restrained during that time, but he never thought that my wife Sayuri did it on purpose.
No, he should have felt it, but he just couldn't believe it.
This innocent girl was helpless at the beginning of her amnesia and survived by relying on her own hands.
She is the epitome of the people he wants to protect, and the "ordinary people's lives" he wants to uphold even if he is willing to be trapped in the darkness.
This girl, who in his eyes has regained a relatively affluent life through hard work and strength, should have no gloom in her eyes.
"After returning to the family, taking them with you reflects the common wish of everyone in the family." The girl touched the doll and kissed it on the cheek, which was much more natural than the kiss that fell on Zhu Fu Jingguang's lips.
"That's enough to explain the family's attitude, right? Everyone has tried their best to help me catch up with you."
Zhu Fujingguang shook his head. "Paying a financial price and paying a life price are two completely different concepts. You should know how dangerous the organization is."
"Of course I know, otherwise how could I threaten you with a doll."
Agatsuma Sayuri did try to make subsequent dolls fit the Scottish image, but the very existence of this thing speaks volumes.
If the organization really wants to take action, they don’t care whether your source of information is correct or not, or whether the information itself is correct or not. They only care whether you know the organization’s internal information.
If they were unimportant, the organization wouldn't be concerned about the lives of every ordinary person. It's perfectly normal for some ACG characters to occasionally resemble members of the organization. Even people can look very similar to each other; you can't say they deliberately underwent plastic surgery to resemble each other.
In this case, deliberately clearing relevant information will only expose yourself.
It was only because Agatsuma Sayuri initially used the "Scotland" on the police academy uniform that it attracted the attention of Morobushi Kagemitsu.
Zhu Fushiki Jingguang sighed deeply. He was no longer anxious about his own recovery. He was worried that my wife Sayuri would go too far and risk her life and the entire family.
Being able to say something like "I'm threatening someone" so easily, I don't know if my wife Sayuri is being too direct or too arrogant...
"Don't worry, this is..." Agatsuma Sayuri said, then suddenly stopped talking and continued, "Anyway, the family members told me after consultation. They also made the plan, and I just went along with it."
"We are the 'My Wife' family."
