Chapter 192

After watching the detective from the investigation section leave, Nishihara Tadahiko did not open the driver's door, but turned and went into the back seat and sat directly next to Baifu.

Baifu crossed his arms and frowned. When he saw Saezono Tadahiko sitting in, his body stiffened unconsciously, but he still said nothing. Saezono Tadahiko saw his defensive attitude towards him and sighed again.

"Toshiya, I've been looking for you for twenty years. Today I finally have the chance to sit down and take a good look at you." Saison Tadahiko looked at Momotomi's face, which he had depicted countless times in his dreams, and said calmly.

"I know. And didn't we meet three years ago?" Baifu's voice sounded much colder than usual. He kept his eyes down and turned his head away so that Nishihara Tadahiko wouldn't see his expression.

However, Tadahiko Nishizono still felt a little excited. He looked at his brother's profile with nostalgia, and couldn't help but recall the time when his brother was a child. Whenever he was upset, he would always pretend not to care. But every time, as long as he coaxed him, took out the candy he prepared in advance, and shouted "surprise", his brother would immediately smile happily.

Thinking of this, Saezono Tadahiko's expression softened a little.

"Three years ago, I wanted to talk to you after the operation was successful, but I didn't expect you to disappear without a word after completing the plan."

Saiono Tadahiko looked at him earnestly and said:

"I have asked the police officers to apply for a witness protection program for you. You are not without a way out, and you are never fighting alone. Junye, come back, don't put your whole life into that dark organization. You have to know that there are still many people here who care about you."

Baifu's eyes flashed with tenderness for a moment. In this memory, the peaceful and intimate conversation with his brother seemed so far away as if it was a lifetime ago. At that time, he was still young and very dependent on his brother. And his brother, who was excellent in all aspects, was the person he admired most in this world.

But he quickly came out of his memories. The cold aura around him had dissipated, but his tone was still firm as he spoke:

"I have my plan. I won't give up until the last minute."

After a pause, he pursed his lips as if he was at a loss, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but he still added uncomfortably:

"I'm sorry, brother."

Saezono Tadahiko was a little disappointed at first, but after hearing his last awkward apology, he suddenly laughed out loud. Baifu immediately looked over with murderous intent, and glared at him fiercely with a fierce look that was enough to scare away most people in the organization. However, even without consciously feeling it, Saezono Tadahiko could see that his brother was angry because of humiliation.

"Sorry, sorry."

Nishizono Tadahiko suppressed his smile and apologized out of habit, then under Baifu's gaze, he reached out and patted his shoulder in a soothing manner. Baifu's lips trembled slightly, and his body was a little stiff, but he did not avoid it.

It's exactly the same as when I was a kid and comforted my angry little brother.

Silent nostalgia and a faint sense of warmth spread between the two of them. Even the silence for a moment seemed to have a more gentle flavor.

"Toshiya, you are actually still the same as when you were a child. You haven't changed at all." Saizono Tadahiko said with emotion, "You have been honest and kind since you were a child. Although you are sometimes stubborn, you have always been reasonable and have never been a willful child. I have always been proud of you."

Bai Fu's eyes were lonely, and there was even a hint of grievance in his voice: "Forget it, I'm a member of the organization now, and I can't let you feel proud anymore." After saying that, he turned his eyes away unconsciously, but his body unconsciously sat up straighter, and his whole body tensed up.

Seeing his brother once again showing an aggrieved and defensive expression, as if he had skillfully put on a hard shell, Nishizono Tadahiko's heart suddenly felt like it was cut by a knife. He wanted to retort loudly, but he held it back before opening his mouth. He just gently and patiently put down his brother's arms, and then, like comforting the sulky Xiaojun, he reached out and gently stroked Baifu's stiff back repeatedly.

"Who said that? Don't underestimate yourself. You have always been my pride, whether in the past or now, whether you were Saiono Toshiya in the past or Balvenie now."

Baifu turned around in shock, with doubt in his eyes that he could not hide, and even a hint of expectation that he himself did not realize. However, Nishizono Tadahiko just nodded seriously, looked into Baifu's eyes, and said sincerely and calmly:

"Don't doubt it. In fact, you know very well that the connection of consciousness cannot deceive people. What I said is true."

Baifu's eyes moved slightly and he was the first to look away.

"It wasn't your fault that happened back then. It was all my fault for not taking good care of you, and letting you get kidnapped by a trafficker..."

However, before Saiono Tadahiko could finish, Baifu interrupted him hastily:

"It's not your fault! It's obviously the fault of those traffickers. How can you blame you, brother?"

He carefully looked at Saezono Tadahiko's expression, but when he met those bloodshot eyes filled with pain, his heart suddenly shuddered, and his hard shell suddenly became soft.

"…Thank you, Junya."

Saion Tadahiko's voice was choked with sobs, but he soon calmed down and continued:

"In short, no matter what, you have done well under the circumstances. Even after being influenced by that organization for so many years, you still maintain the kindness in your heart. Believe me, after experiencing the same thing, no one will do better than you."

Strangely, just a few words of recognition from his brother suddenly gave Baifu a strong feeling of pure joy and happiness. This feeling was so strange and yet so addictive to Baifu that he had the illusion of tasting happiness.

He unconsciously moved closer to Nishihara Tadahiko, as if he wanted to listen more carefully, but when he realized what he had done, he immediately lowered his head, trying not to look too stupid. He had to bite the inside of his lower lip with his teeth to control his expression and prevent himself from showing a happy smile. However, even so, he still felt his cheeks burning, as if there was a naughty fawn in his arms, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.

"Junye, I missed you and was worried about you all these years."

After a moment of silence, Saion Tadahiko spoke again. His words were sincere and heavy, making it easy for people to feel the strong emotions hidden in the plainness.

"There were too few clues left from the case back then, and the police were unable to investigate, so I became a police officer myself and spent all my time and energy to continue investigating. The trafficking gangs were too mobile, so I arrested all the trafficking gangs I found, and I always found some clues. Fortunately, my efforts were not in vain. I finally found your information three years ago, and I was lucky enough to meet you in person not long after."

After hearing this, Baifu finally couldn't sit still anymore. Strong feelings of guilt came over him like a tide, and he suddenly didn't know how to face Nishihara Tadahiko.

Balvenie must admit that he has rarely recalled anything about his brother over the years. Those beautiful memories of his childhood have long faded under the increasingly dark shadow of the organization, making Balvenie Whisky and the former Nishihara Shunya gradually become two completely unrelated people.

In recent years, Baifu has been thinking about revenge for Sister Yuka, even at the cost of his life, but he seldom thought about how his brother Nishihara Tadahiko was doing these years, whether he was happy or not. He always just looked at Nishihara Tadahiko from a distance, just to make sure he was not in danger. However, it was not until the accidental reunion three years ago that Baifu suddenly realized that he had been watching his brother suffer alone.

But there was no turning back for Baifu. It was too late.

He closed his eyes in pain.

"I know you have always been a child with your own ideas, and I can see that you have your own plans. I know that there are many things that you cannot control, so I will not force you. As long as you can keep a place for Nishihara Shunya in your heart, we can think of ways and solve all other things together."

Nishihara Tadahiko's gentleness and the generosity and tolerance that belong only to an elder brother quickly covered the bitterness in Baifu's heart. At this time, he seemed to have abandoned those things hidden in the darkness that made him suffer and fall, but he still couldn't help but feel sour in his eyes. Baifu was obviously not a weak person, but for some reason, after meeting Nishihara Tadahiko this time, he always couldn't help wanting to cry.

He didn't want to speak, but wanted to hear more of his brother's voice. But he was afraid that once he spoke, those dark words would destroy the beautiful atmosphere in front of him. This was the first time Baifu had enjoyed warmth in nearly 20 years, and he didn't want to destroy it no matter what.

Saion Tadahiko's eyes became softer, but his expression became more determined. He looked at Baifu seriously and said:

"I know that it must be very dangerous for you to carry all those things on your back. In this case, you must not refuse your brother's help. The four of us are a whole. With the power of the public security behind me and the other forces of the red side, these forces combined will surely be able to successfully destroy the organization, and you will be able to realize your long-cherished wish faster. Junye, don't be alone anymore, join us, let's work together."

But Baifu just shook his head stubbornly.

"No, none of you three should get involved. It's too dangerous. Even if you know a lot of secrets about the organization, you will never know how terrible the organization is without experiencing it yourself."

Bai Fu raised his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with deep worry about the person in front of him.

"I am enough to keep those trapped in the darkness. None of you three should get involved in the battle from now on."

Saiono Tadahiko just calmly asked back:

"We are all the same, we know you, and you know us. Do you really think we're going to sit back and watch you die?"

Of course not!

Baifu was speechless.

"Whether it's for your own safety or the mission the comic book has assigned to the four of us, we must all get into this mess together. And we're not as weak as you think. You know that very well, don't you?"

Nishizono Tadahiko's voice was calm and confident, and he shattered the outer shell that Baifu had wrapped himself in with a gentle and strong attitude. Baifu's heart was shocked, his mind went blank in an instant, and even his breathing began to tremble. However, the only remaining reason told him clearly that this was the fact.

"So, Junya, don't reject us. Stand with us, unite all the red forces, and together we will destroy this huge organization."

Baifu lowered his head with difficulty and clenched his fists.
