No matter who comes through the door, it is better than the current situation, and it will give me more time to think about Samuel's proposal.
Jiang Lai raised his voice and said, "Please come in."
The door of the ward slowly opened again, and someone who wasn't particularly unexpected walked in -
The man with light blond hair and dark skin had a smile on his face. He was wearing a gray suit jacket, probably because he was visiting a patient. His leather shoes made no sound when they stepped on the floor.
When he saw who was in the room, he paused for a moment, but continued the conversation naturally: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Samuel. You are here to visit Jiang Lai as well."
Toru Amuro spread his long legs and walked over in a few steps.
"Amuro-san." Kurosawa Akira greeted politely.
"Oh? It's Mr. Amuro." Samuster turned his head and greeted with a smile.
The two looked at each other briefly, but then calmly looked away within a few breaths - at least on the surface there was no sign of conflict.
It is unknown what thoughts are churning in my heart.
Toru Amuro pulled out another chair next to him, sat down naturally, and said to Jiang Lai, "How do you feel now?" As he spoke, he handed a small lunch box to the black-haired young man on the bed, "Sorry, because I was in a hurry today, I only had time to make a small simple sandwich."
"Oh, thank you!" Jiang Lai took it with a surprised look on his face, smiling, "I've long wanted to try Mr. Amuro's cooking - come to think of it, the rice balls we agreed to make may have to wait until I'm discharged from the hospital."
"It's okay. There's no rush." Amuro Toru's slightly droopy eyes were friendly. "Let's talk about it when you're better."
"My body recovered very quickly, and I'm almost well now." Jiang Lai blinked and showed a distressed look again, "It's just that my hand seems to still hurt a little. Mr. Samuster was talking to me about this just now."
"..." Upon hearing this, Amuro Toru still had a smile on his face, but his purple-gray eyes sank slightly.
The soul body of Morofushi Kagemitsu nodded to the side, indicating that he agreed with Jiang Lai to reveal the news to Amuro Toru, so that at least one more person would know the inside story.
Jiang Lai did bring up this topic on purpose. He knew that he had many secrets at the moment - especially those that might be related to his childhood friends. Amuro Toru would not sit idly by and watch his affairs.
He believed that the other party could guess that Samuster definitely had some conspiracy against him. After all, this guy was not a kind-hearted public figure.
"Oh? So your hand hasn't recovered yet?" Amuro Toru asked in a concerned tone, "Logically... I thought the respiratory tract would be more fragile and more difficult to recover."
"Ah, that's what I thought too. Who would have thought that the respiratory tract would heal so quickly, but it turned out that something went wrong with the hand." Jiang Lai showed a half-helpless smile, "I don't know what the situation is, and it seems that this hospital can't solve it."
Amuro narrowed his eyes, hiding all his emotions. He looked at Samuster and said, "So, were you discussing solutions just now? I seem to have heard in the news a few days ago that Mr. Samuster made a statement on this."
"Yes, I have been paying attention to this matter." The perverted gentleman with blond hair in a low ponytail raised the corners of his lips. He had just been listening to the conversation between the two leisurely, and only spoke now.
"I admire and respect Mr. Jiang Lai very much, and I am always concerned about his recovery. The director of this hospital has a good relationship with me, and he talked to me about Jiang Lai's current physical condition." Samuster said slowly, "I don't know what happened in the fire, but during the treatment, I can see that his condition is a bit special and cannot be solved by ordinary hospitals."
"Is that so?" Amuro Toru said with a smile, "This hospital can't help, maybe a big hospital in Tokyo can. After all, it's just a burn, not a complicated disease."
"You can give it a try, but I think... it might just be a waste of time." Samuster didn't look nervous at all. He spoke slowly, with an unknown smile in his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
"As for me, of course I hope Mr. Jiang Lai gets better soon - after all, his work doesn't wait for anyone, right?" He said with a hint of meaning.
Jiang Lai's smile did not change. He blinked and said, "In fact, I have finished my recent classes for the students, so it's not particularly urgent. But it's a good thing to get better soon."
Amuro Toru crossed his hands, put on a smile that showed no emotion in daily interactions, and asked, "Mr. Samuster, do you have any research in the medical field?"
"Yes. That's why I plan to take Mr. Jiang Lai to my research institute." Samuster did not hide his gray-green eyes like some kind of bird. "There are my most advanced scientific research there. There is probably a solution to Jiang Lai's current physical condition."
Samuster's research institute! Amuro Toru immediately focused on the key point, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied casually: "Ah, really..."
He knew that this guy had his own research institute, and the media would sometimes go to his research institute for interviews and reports. But this was just the surface.
This guy also has another hidden research institute that is used to study other things that are not convenient to make public.
The research institute he knew about was mostly related to electronic technology, while the hidden research institute had cooperated with the organization several times. Amuro Toru guessed that the research institute had content related to biotechnology.
So which research institute does Samuster plan to take Jiang Lai to this time?
Perhaps it was from another unknown research institute. Thoughts slowly surged in Toru Amuro's mind. Or at least, the drugs and technology used in the treatment came from another research institute.
He looked at the young man sitting on the bed. His black hair was soft and smooth. Perhaps because he had not been out for a while and had received treatment during this period, his skin was whiter than usual, making his warm brown eyes brighter and warmer, like citrine quartz scooped out of a clear stream.
There was a faint smile on the other person's face, but Amuro Toru knew that the other person was definitely not as harmless as he appeared to be.
The last time they went out to Sakura Valley, he and Hagiwara Kenji didn't mention Matsuda Jinpei because they cared about each other. But during this building accident, when Amuro Toru asked Hagiwara Kenji why he paid special attention to Erai, Hagiwara Kenji was silent for a few seconds, but still mentioned Matsuda Jinpei first.
"That's because... he was the student chosen by Xiao Zhenping."
While Toru Amuro was somewhat shocked, he also exchanged information about Jinpei Matsuda with the other party.
Toru Amuro told Kenji Hagihara about Matsuda's current situation and his guess that Matsuda was probably undercover. Kenji Hagihara shared his previous encounters with Matsuda and the relationship between Jiang Lai and Jinpei Matsuda.
Did this guy know Matsuda for a long time? Amuro Toru thought. And the other party, whether intentionally or not, revealed about the neighbor who looked like Jingguang in Sakura Valley, combined with what Hagiwara said about the guy who looked like Lai who came to Jiang Lai's house, and the situation in the building this time -
Jiang Lai's network of relationships is too complicated!
Toru Amuro's thoughts are somewhat complicated.
The fact that he can move around so naturally shows that he is definitely not just an ordinary high school teacher. And the child adopted by this family who looks like Gin...
Toru Amuro sternly told Kenji Hagiwara to be careful, but Kenji Hagiwara said that Jiang Lai was just an ordinary, kind and warm-hearted young man.
Amuro Toru: "...? ?" Hagiwara, what's wrong with you? Your filter is too thick! !
Even though he involves so many key figures, you still think he is ordinary? !
Hagiwara Kenji: "He must have been dragged into this by accident. It seems that he doesn't know the others well except for Xiao Zhenping."
Amuro Toru: "..." Was I dragged into this unintentionally? That's absolutely impossible.
"Come to think of it, if the person in the building was really Xiao Zhufu, then he saved Jiang Lai's life."
Hagiwara Kenji's sigh made Amuro Toru stunned for a moment and then he fell into deep thought again.
Is Hiro...really still alive?
If it was really him, why would he make such a choice?
All the lines of thinking cannot bypass the black-haired young man standing at the center, so Amuro became alert, and under layers of wrapping, he finally chose to start from Jiang Lai.
This is why he came today. He originally planned to have further contact with Jiang Lai, but he didn't expect that Samuster would be there, and this guy obviously had no good intentions towards Jiang Lai.
It is likely that Jiang Lai's hand injury, which has never healed, is somewhat related to this perversion.
Thoughts flashed through Toru Amuro's mind, and his purple-gray eyes stared at Jiang Lai.
——You can't be unaware of Summerst's true nature, right? Perhaps you can guess what this guy does and what his purpose is? So what is your decision at this moment?
The black-haired young man did not speak. His warm brown eyes looked back at Amuro Toru. The smiling expression on his face seemed to be covered by a veil, making it impossible to see through it.
"So, Mr. Jiang Lai, what do you think?" Samuster asked with a smile.
"It's mainly because of my current physical condition. It may be a little inconvenient in my daily life." Jiang Lai pursed his lips.
"It's okay. I can send someone to take care of it." Samuster naturally responded.
"..." Amuro Toru kept smiling, his fingers paused slightly, and then he replied, "I was quite busy recently, but the coffee shop will have some free time soon - if you need me, I can help take care of it, Jiang Lai."
"Eh? Really? That's great." Jiang Lai smiled, "This way we don't have to bother Mr. Summers's people."
The gentleman with blond hair in a low ponytail was slightly startled, as if he had not expected that there would be one more person present. However, he adjusted his glasses and did not refuse: "If Mr. Amuro follows... Of course, that's fine." The smile on his face deepened a little.
"So, Mr. Jiang Lai is planning to go to my research institute for treatment?"
"Well, I'll trouble you from now on." Jiang Lai responded politely with a smile, but his warm brown eyes were very calm.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Although this was somewhat dangerous, it was indeed a good opportunity to lure out Jingguang and let Amuro Toru see him - just as people in the forum had speculated.
Moreover, the current condition of his hand was probably related to the Samust family. He had to cure it, otherwise it would limit his future life and the application of his own skills.
Plus... Jiang Lai glanced secretly at Kurosawa Akira.
I don't know when it started, but those eyes have turned grayish.
The second personality appeared, but he didn't say anything just now. At this moment, hearing the end of everyone's communication, the silver-haired boy leaned forward slightly and hugged Jiang Lai with both hands: "I want to follow Brother Jiang Lai~"
His voice was childish and cute, but his face was buried in Jiang Lai, so no one could see his expression at the moment.
The author has something to say: Toru Amuro: What’s up with Hagiwara’s filter?
Later, I learned about Matsuda and the resurrected Keimitsu.
Amuro Toru: What's wrong with your filters!?
