Chapter 107

Kenji Hagiwara was also a little embarrassed at this time. He had just said goodbye to the old director and the teachers and students of the welfare home. He followed them secretly because he was worried about them. Unexpectedly, when he was nearby, he heard Kagano Satoshi's words from a distance:

"We'll no longer be friends!"

Kenji Hagiwara never imagined that Kagino Satoshi, who always valued Hoshikawa and Akira more than himself, would actually say one day that he was breaking up with them, not to mention saying such hurtful words as "I never want to see each other again".

How is this possible? That's his best friend, Hoshikawa Kazuaki!

Could it be that these two young and energetic guys just broke down the negotiation? But how is this possible? Xiaozhi was so shy that he didn't even dare to say a word when he saw Xiaoxing, how could they have broken down the negotiation?

But at this moment, Satoshi Kagino seemed to suddenly become strong. He didn't even care why Kenji Hagiwara was here. He just changed direction and walked out without looking back.

Hagiwara Kenji became anxious and was about to catch up, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Hoshikawa Kazuaki worriedly.

"Xiaoxing, don't think too much about it. Xiaozhi probably just can't get over it for the moment. I'll go see what's wrong with him, you..."

However, before Hagiwara Kenji could finish, Hoshikawa Kazuaki immediately interrupted him and said quickly:

"I'm fine. I'm going to see Brother Date later. Brother Kenji, go check on Xiaozhi. He was fine at first, but suddenly he became like this. I'm a little worried about him."

Kenji Hagiwara took a close look at Hoshikawa Kazuaki's condition, and seeing that he was indeed still calm, he breathed a sigh of relief. After giving him a few more instructions, he turned around and chased after Kagino Satoshi.

Kagino Satoshi was in a very bad condition at this time.

He was still the same physically weak man as before, but his whole body was aching from the previous intense exercise. Now he couldn't move his legs at all. Every step he took was like a painful struggle in a swamp.

Plus, I had just cried, and my chest was already stuffy. Now I had to breathe heavily and I felt like my lungs were going to explode.

Kenji Hagiwara caught up easily and saw Kagano Satoshi running with his back bent in pain, almost with his face touching the ground. So he quickened his pace and grabbed Kagano Satoshi's arm.

Kagino Tomo's pace, which was difficult to maintain, was immediately disrupted, but he could not control his body from continuing to lean forward, so he immediately fell forward.

Fortunately, his arm was still held in Hagiwara Kenji's hand and he was supported, so he avoided falling to the ground and getting disfigured.

Hagiwara Kenji chased after him and wanted to scold him, but when he saw Kagamino Satoshi's face clearly, he found that his face was covered with tears. It was obvious that he was crying while running, so his posture was so strange.

Although he was still angry, seeing Kagino Satoshi crying so pitifully, Hagiwara Kenji couldn't bear to say a harsh word for a moment.

"Xiaozhi! How are you? Oh, forget it, you should stop forcing yourself. Just wipe your tears and take a rest first."

Kenji Hagiwara skillfully took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.

Kagino Chi finally stood up straight, took the handkerchief skillfully, wiped his tears, and turned back to look at the direction of the Wall of Honor. However, he had already run into the bamboo forest, and there were rows of bamboo trees in the middle, so he could no longer see the scenery on the other side of the Wall of Honor clearly.

"Brother Yan, before you came over just now, how was Xiaoxing?"

Satoshi Kagino's voice was dull and trembling, his eyelids were red, his eyelashes were trembling, and his face showed undisguised worry.

Hagiwara Kenji looked at him deeply and asked instead of answering:

"Did you do that on purpose?"

Kagino Satoshi froze and did not answer.

Hagiwara Kenji looked at him disapprovingly, his brows furrowed into a deep "川" shape, but Kagino Satoshi lowered his eyes, pursed his lips stubbornly, and avoided his gaze.

This negative yet resolute attitude suddenly made Hagiwara Kenji realize that Kagino Satoshi was not being awkward this time, nor was he deliberately avoiding it because of some previous psychological burden.

This is so abnormal.

"Xiaozhi, what happened between you and Xiaoxing in those few minutes?"

Seeing that Kagamino Satoshi refused to answer, Hagiwara Kenji continued:

"Over the years, I have seen how much you care about Xiaoxing. I still remember that before you came here, you were so excited that you couldn't sleep all night after reading the invitation text message Xiaoxing sent you. You were looking forward to this meeting more than ever before. I don't believe that you would suddenly propose to break up with Xiaoxing for no reason, and even say such cruel words."

Kenji Hagiwara looked at the boy in front of him, who looked like he had been hit hard by the word "break up". The pain and guilt on his face were so obvious that Kenji Hagiwara could immediately feel the pain he was bearing in his heart just by looking at him. However, even so, the boy's expression remained unchanged.

The two have known each other for seven years. Hagiwara Kenji has seen Kagamino Satoshi's childish and willful side, his confident and arrogant side, and his distraught side. However, Hagiwara Kenji has never seen Kagamino Satoshi this resolute and unswerving before.

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Xiaozhi, do you have any difficulties?"

Kenji Hagiwara asked tentatively, his eyes closely watching every change in Kagano Satoshi's expression.

Kagano Satoshi's eyes were still fixed on the ground, and his lips were bitten with deep teeth marks. Hearing Hagiwara Kenji's question, he swallowed unconsciously and dodged subconsciously.

Hagiwara Kenji took a deep breath tiredly, rubbed his temples with his hands, and then said slowly:

"I don't know what happened to you that made you so anxious, to the point where you would rather say such hurtful words than stay away from Xiaoxing. But since you were in trouble, why didn't you tell me and Xiaozhenping? We are police officers. If we really encountered difficulties, would we just stand by and watch?"

Kagino Satoshi's mind flashed through the information he had seen about the Black Organization, the crimes that occurred under the noses of the police, the desperate eyes of the victims who were unfortunately involved, and the faces of the police who died mysteriously while conducting in-depth investigations.

After officially joining the organization, Kagino Tomokazu finally saw the tip of the iceberg of the organization. The information revealed was enough to show that the organization was actually much more terrifying than he had previously understood.

If I were given the choice again, I would not completely stay away from the relevant areas of the organization out of fear, but at least I would be more cautious and would never leave the organization with any chance to threaten me.

But, there are no ifs.

You are now an outside member of the organization, and anyone who has a close relationship with you will be noticed by the organization.

After all, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda are police officers. As long as you are careful not to involve them, the organization will not take any action against them.

However, Hoshikawa and Ming are different. If they find out that he is close to her, it will be very likely to bring danger to Hoshikawa and Ming. And this is something Kagano Satoshi will never allow.

Facing Hagiwara Kenji's questioning, Kagino Satoshi clenched his fists. He couldn't completely ignore the question, otherwise, given Hagiwara Kenji's personality, he would definitely get to the bottom of it. So he could only tell him vaguely.

Kagino Satoshi looked up at Hagiwara Kenji. His purple eyes were as concerned as ever, and Kagino Satoshi, who had been taken care of by him for many years, couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and almost burst into tears. But Kagino Satoshi immediately pinched his thigh secretly, forcing down his surging emotions, then sniffed and said in a muffled voice:

"Brother Yan Er knows about my other identity."

Hagiwara Kenji was stunned for a moment when he heard this:

"You mean, your role as an assistant to the police?"

Seeing Kagino Satoshi nod, Hagiwara Kenji became even more confused.

"What does this have to do with your fear of meeting Xiaoxing? Wait, do you mean that the job there is dangerous?"

Kagino Satoshi knew that although Hagiwara Kenji was nominally the person he was assisting, he actually had no idea what he was responsible for when assisting the public security, so he said vaguely:

"It's not dangerous, but if you get too close to me, it will be troublesome, very troublesome."

Hagiwara Kenji opened his mouth but couldn't say anything to persuade her.

As a policeman, he knew the nature of the work of the public security department, which was always gloomy. But he did not expect that Kagamino Satoshi, who was only a technical support, would be involved in such dangerous work.

Thinking of the police's style of work and the high casualty rate he had heard about, he suddenly understood why Kagino Satoshi did this. It's not that he doesn't care about his friends, but it's because he cares too much that he wants to stay away from them.

When they finally had a chance to reconcile, they had to push each other away. When they didn't want to hurt each other, they had to hurt each other. Everything Kagino Satoshi did was just to better protect Xingchuan and Ming. Therefore, all the pain, unwillingness, grievances, and involuntary things had to be borne by Kagino Satoshi alone.

Kenji Hagiwara couldn't help but wonder, if he were replaced by Satoshi Kagano, what would he do if he knew that his approach would bring danger to Jinpei? I'm afraid there would be no other way except to stay away from him.

But the pain that would have to be endured was unbearable to Kenji Hagiwara just by thinking about it.

He suddenly thought of his two classmates from the police academy who had disappeared for seven years. Was it the same idea that Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu had when they chose to disappear from their sight?

As a former colleague and current colleague, Kenji Hagiwara understands this approach. However, as a simple friend, he will never like it.

Just like now, he knew that what Kagino Satoshi did was right, but he still found it difficult to accept such an outcome.

He looked at Kagino Satoshi, who was obviously extremely sad but had to force himself to be strong, and couldn't help asking:

"Xiaozhi, you really won't regret doing this?"

Upon hearing this, Kagino Satoshi couldn't help but look again in the direction of the Wall of Honor where Hoshikawa and Ming were.

That direction was now blocked by a dense bamboo forest, and nothing could be seen. However, Kagino Satoshi still felt as if he had seen something that could comfort his soul. His eyes were dazed, but a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

So he smiled and replied:

"Brother Yan, although I can't go back to the old days with Xiaoxing, as long as I know that he is safe, I am already very satisfied."

At this time, Hagiwara Kenji suddenly asked for some reason:

"But Xiaozhi, if you hadn't joined the public security assistant status back then, maybe you wouldn't have the troubles you have now."

When Satoshi Kagino heard him say this, he was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately understood that Kenji Hagiwara was actually blaming himself.

In Hagiwara Kenji's view, the reason why his identity as a hacker was exposed and he had to accept the police's recruitment as an assistant was because he rescued him from the bomber's blackmail case seven years ago.

But the fact is, no matter whether I will become a public security assistant in the end, I will definitely go to save him.

I never thought that Yan Er, who was always carefree, would get entangled in something that didn't exist. But whether it was Xiao Xing, Yan Er, or Jin Ping, they were all my friends. How could I just let them fall into danger and remain indifferent?

This time, Kagino Satoshi actually laughed out loud. Under Hagiwara Kenji's surprised gaze, he wiped away the last tear and replied as a matter of course:

"Brother Yanji, that is impossible. Since I know that my friend may be in danger, how can I turn a blind eye? If I must throw myself into the darkness to stop the evil, then in order to protect my friend in the darkness, I am willing to choose the wrong path."
