Chapter 138

After spending half a day smoothing out Rokudo Mukuro's hair, Kono Seira is still facing the biggest test of his career.

#I lost contact with my boss for a week. He seems very angry. How can I apologize so that he won't fire me?#

After much deliberation, Kono Seiryoshi added another point: #The boss's name is Hibari, Hibari Kyoya's Hibari#.

ah.

Originally, several options were listed, including "stepping down from the throne to apologize", "giving gifts to please the boss", and "going to ask for help from the boss's boss", but after adding the second condition, the answer immediately became unique and extremely clear.

#No hope, just wait to die#

In fact, not to mention how Yun Que would react, he himself would be too embarrassed to face it.

The reason why Kono Seiryoshi felt guilty was not because he was kidnapped, nor because he did not contact the Vongola immediately after the kidnapping, but because he did not get an equal reward.

He had been through similar emergencies many times and had gained experience as a hostage. He completed his mission brilliantly each time (no one had assigned it to him), successfully obtaining intelligence from the enemy before escaping, and then performing some minor operations.

Usually during this process, Yun Shou, who was left out by the secretary, would gradually become irritable, and there was a high probability that he would walk directly into the base camp with a pair of crutches and kill everyone without leaving a single survivor, and then carry him out with a sullen face.

When faced with an activist like Hibari who is difficult to convince with words, Kono Seiryoshi would respond in another way—admitting his mistakes with a good attitude, but not changing.

He has his own set of judgment criteria and believes that gains always come with a little risk.

However, it is another thing to be all risk and no gain.

His tried-and-true tactics backfired, and he had to settle old and new accounts together. He didn't know how many times he would be hit by Fu Ping Gui, and whether his fall from grace would be considered work-related injury...

With an extremely heavy heart, when Kono Seiryoshi went to look for Hibari Kyoya, the first thing he saw was not the cold and fierce handsome face of the chairman, but a mountain of documents on the chairman's desk, all of which were acquisition cases.

Yun Que Kyoya seems to be very busy. It is said that he is on the way and has not yet got off the plane.

Gongye Shengliang took the document and roughly flipped through a few of them. The more he read, the more shocked he became.

From private ports and sea and land logistics to food, clothing, housing, transportation, catering and department stores - how did the Fengji Group quickly come to dominate the Tokyo metropolitan area during the week he was away?

Starting from Namimori-cho, they rushed out of Tokyo with great momentum and surrounded Yokohama on the map, which made people tremble with fear and feel the hair on their backs.

The worlds merged, new forces, new strong men. He originally thought that Hibari Kyoya would start by conquering Yokohama and then defeat the whole world one by one, so he was very surprised when he saw that Rokudo Mukuro was the only one who came to Yokohama to arrest him.

Now it seems that Hibari Kyoumi is not completely without a plan. After all, the documents show that almost everything that can be bought has been purchased. How can the acquisition of Yokohama not be considered another level of conquest?

Fortunately, Hibari did not choose to use force to defeat Yokohama. In the past, he beat up the enemies without any mercy. If he had come to face Chuuya, he would not know which side to pull first when Kono Seiryo tried to persuade him to fight. Moreover, being sandwiched between two top fighters, no matter how you think about it, the most dangerous thing is his life...

In a sense, the answer hits the nail on the head, but unfortunately the understanding is completely wrong.

Kono Seira sighed a few times to calm himself down, tidied up the office simply, opened the window for ventilation, sprayed water on the flower petals, and took out Yundou's toys and wiped them.

Half a day after returning to his workstation, before Yun Que returned to the company, he received a video call from the Vongola headquarters.

After getting the backup phone, Seiji Kono immediately sent messages to all his seniors one by one to let them know that he was safe, and everyone responded quickly.

"Chrom: I'm glad Seiryo-chan is alright QvQ! Mukuro-sama has made up for his mistake this time."

"Harumori: This time was also an extreme stimulation, Kono, you must have grown up too!"

"Raimu: I'm finally back (paralysis) By the way, do you want to go back to the headquarters in the next few days? Forget it, we can go there."

"Kumo Shou: Heh."

"Ramori: Hahaha, feel free to ask me if you need my help."

"Ran Shou: This time the situation is special, and you probably didn't do it on purpose... Anyway, there won't be a second time."

"Tenth generation: If you have time, can you tell me what happened in the past few days^^"

Seeing the last row, Kono Seiryoshi felt very stressed.

The tenth generation kept his word. Facing the gentle brown-haired young man on the other side of the screen, Kono Seira did not dare to relax at all. He treated all events as a year-end report, and after speaking, he quickly lowered his head, sat upright, and waited for a lesson.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response. Feeling uneasy, he looked at the screen with some confusion.

The tenth generation seemed to be lost in thought, his long eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and his warm brown pupils in deep thought were like amber in dim light, revealing a sharpness rarely seen in his normal state.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was silent for a long time, then raised his lips and spoke a little slower than usual: "I'm sorry, this won't happen again in the future."

Wait?! Isn't he the one who should apologize?!

Kono Seiryoshi was shocked: "No, no, it's my fault."

If we have to say that it was someone else's fault, it would be Byakuran. The Black Organization that kidnapped him is also to blame. In any case, the Tenth Generation was right.

Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled and did not dwell on this topic too much. He changed his tone to a more relaxed one: "Regarding those organizations and...some people who know you, have you thought about how to deal with them?"

When this was mentioned, Gong Ye Shengliang couldn't help but think of the memory erasure plan he had set up and the heavy experience of failure.

"...Well." He said with a complicated mood, "Please leave all matters concerning the Karasuma Group and the Port Mafia to me."

"Don't worry, I won't let my personal affairs affect the Vongola."

Kouno Seiryoshi was still deeply reflecting on himself, and he didn't notice that Sawada Tsunayoshi's expression gradually became helpless, and he had to call out his name: "Seiryoshi."

"Hmm?" Kouno Seiryo came back to his senses and said quickly, "I'm here."

Tsunayoshi Sawada knew how to communicate with him most effectively.

He said, "Your business is never a problem."

"…It's just that." Sawada Tsunayoshi paused, "Every time you say this, you become more cautious, and always put yourself in the role of a subordinate when you are with me."

There was a hint of loneliness in his handsome features: "Do I make you feel uncomfortable?"

Kono Seiryoshi was stunned in his tracks. When he came to his senses, he was so frightened that he could not even speak the words he wanted to deny: "It's not like that. I just..."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that the more he apologized, the more evidence he gave. He was speechless for a while, then lowered his eyes in disappointment and confusion: "Then what should I do... Sawada-senpai."

He spoke the title softly at the end. He hadn't called her that for a long time, and it sounded a little awkward when he said it.

"Then, can you grant me a request, Shengliang?"

When Sawada Tsunayoshi's gentle voice sounded, Kono Seira couldn't help but look at him, waiting for the next sentence.

"Once the work at hand is finished, I should go back to Japan."

The brown-haired young man had gentle and nostalgic eyes.

"If I remember correctly, the Namimori Junior High School Festival will be held next month."

"When the time comes, can you come back with me to take a look?"

…

…

Seiji Kono temporarily returned to a life of going back and forth between the company and home.

He did not forget that there was a black organization trying to capture him, but the more important thing was how to get in touch with his important friends in the past.

Ling and Jingguang have already met each other, and they are worried about whether they have been implicated in any way after he left that house.

There aren't many people left who are close to him, half of them are policemen and half are criminals. However, he also has two identities as a member of the Cicilian Mafia and a secretary of a gang, so he has no obstacles at the bottom line.

Kono Seiryoshi had rehearsed many ways of meeting again in his mind, but he rejected them all with various reasons.

After he came out of the gate of the Fengji Consortium, he drove his car and couldn't help sighing sadly while waiting for the red light.

The red light at the intersection flashed twice. Gongye Shengliang came to his senses and was about to start again when suddenly there was a violent collision from the passenger side!

"Bang!"

The front of the car hit the fire hydrant with a thunderous sound, and the gushing water column fell like a heavy rain, covering the view with white.

Half of Gongye Shengliang's body was numb, and the blood in his body seemed to flow backwards, and black and white flashed alternately in front of his eyes.

The water column outside the car seemed to hit him, and the car accident on a rainy day a year ago happened again. His breathing stagnated, and he tried to open the car door, but his fingers were like spasms and he couldn't use any strength.

While his thoughts were intermittent, he heard noisy shouting from outside covered by the sound of water. He barely calmed himself, groped for the switch, and pressed it hard with a clenched fist.

The cool water splashed on his face, and Gongye Shengliang regained some strength. He also had time to look at the messy car accident scene behind him.

This should have been a one-sided accident. A sedan ignored the red light and crashed into his car, leaving a large dent in the front of the car. The driver was unconscious and had to be carried out with great effort.

As for his car, which had been modified by the technical department, only the passenger door was slightly twisted and deformed, which seemed like a miracle to passers-by who were not aware of the situation.

The voice shouting outside the window just now became clear now. The boy who also became a drowned chicken was small in stature, but his childish face was very familiar.

Conan took off his glasses, wiped them and put them back on. He looked at him with surprise: "It's you, big brother. Do you live around here?"

Gong Ye Shengliang shook his head and said, "I just happened to pass by."

I'm afraid I'll never pass by here again.

"You two, wipe it first."

Suddenly, a steady male voice was heard from behind. Gongye Shengliang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a strange brown-haired man holding two towels in his hands.

I don’t know if he was seeing things, but when he looked over, the stranger’s movement of handing over the towel was unnaturally stiff for a moment.

"Thank you, Mr. Subaru."

Conan naturally took the towel and wiped his face. Judging from the familiarity in his tone, the two should be familiar with each other.

Kono Seiryoshi expressed his gratitude.

He was all wet and was wondering whether he should go back to the company to change his clothes first. Then he heard the man whom Conan called "Mr. Subaru" say: "You don't look well. Do you want to rest over there for a while?" As he spoke, he pointed to a bench in front of a store at the intersection.

...Hmm? Talking to him?

Gongye Shengliang couldn't help but look at him again.

It was indeed a strange face. The tall, brown-haired young man had his eyes narrowed, as if he was smiling all the time, and his words naturally revealed concern.

Conan also paid attention when he heard this, but he did not doubt Okiya Subaru. Instead, he looked at Kimino Seira according to the other party's words.

I didn't seem to realize that my complexion was indeed very bad. After being drenched in water, I looked almost pale. My eyes were unfocused, my lips were tightly pursed, and my body was tense, showing my fragile defense after being frightened.

Conan stood on Okiya Subaru's side and advised: "That's right, go and have a rest, big brother, the police will be here soon."

Kono Seiyoshi was slightly stunned by the word "police".

But he immediately realized that this was just an ordinary traffic accident, and even if the police came, they would be from the traffic department, so it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

He didn't know whether he should be excited or disappointed at this moment. He sighed in his heart and nodded to Conan: "Okay."
