In the midsummer of June, the intermittent chirping of cicadas is endless.
The breeze brought by running blew across my face, and also covered up the shame caused by interlocking fingers.
Fujiwara Yuu was afraid that his hands would sweat due to nervousness, so he quickly let go of the two bodyguards after throwing them away. He moved the bangs on his forehead unnaturally, looked at Masami Saito who obviously lacked exercise cells, leaned down and asked:
"Do you need me to buy you a bottle of water?"
Miyano Akemi, who didn't want to be looked down upon, shook her head. She calmed down her erratic heartbeat and smiled:
"No, but we have traveled so far and it seems that we are a little far away from the restaurant I like."
"Do we need to go back the way we came?"
Miyano Akemi looked around and her attention was attracted by a nice-looking family restaurant. She raised her finger and pointed to the end of the street and suggested:
"Why don't we go to that store and give it a try?"
Fujiwara Yu followed his gaze and found that it was a family restaurant with half of the house covered by ivy. It seemed a bit out of place in the residential area with white walls and red roofs.
"Okay, I quite like trying new things."
The two of them did not go to the Italian restaurant as originally planned, but instead came to this family restaurant called [Forest House].
There are many purple flowers resembling five-pointed stars placed both indoors and outdoors. The decoration style is also in line with the name of the store. A large number of wooden furniture and warm little ornaments make this family restaurant feel like home.
When I pushed the door open, I could still hear the sweet sound from the wind chimes at the door. The stubble-bearded uncle, who was still dozing on the counter, yawned lazily, looked at the two people who entered the door, raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"Welcome, there are all available seats in the store. You can sit wherever you like."
After Miyano Akemi chose to sit down in the corner, she found that the stubble-bearded uncle had no intention of passing the menu, and there were no menus on the walls. She couldn't help but ask aloud:
"Boss, is there no menu?"
"Sorry, I forgot that you are not regular customers!" The boss smiled and put on a white apron, looking a little like a chef. He opened the refrigerator and looked at the ingredients inside, and murmured: "We don't have set meals here.
I will make whatever is available, so you two can consider whether you want to dine here."
A restaurant without a menu? It’s really arbitrary.
Fujiwara Yu suddenly remembered the various blind boxes that were popular when he was a child in his previous life. The boss's style felt a bit like opening a blind box. Although he thought it was quite interesting, he had to follow Masami's advice.
But I didn't expect that the other party was more curious than me and asked first:
"Fujiwara-kun, what do you think? I think it's quite interesting."
"Yeah, me too." Fujiwara Yu nodded, but thinking that he didn't like something, he still asked: "Boss, there should be no fish in your refrigerator, right?"
After hearing this, Uncle Hu Stubble said with a smile:
"It seems that I have met a rare like-minded partner. I don't like eating fish very much. I got stuck in a fishbone when I was a child and I have never eaten it again in my life. I don't even want to make fish dishes, hahahaha!"
"Then please have two meals."
"okay!"
The most excruciating time was waiting for the food to be served. There were no other diners and the restaurant was very quiet, with only the slightest sound coming from the kitchen.
Miyano Akemi was playing with her fingers and didn't know what to say to break the silence for a while, but thinking of the scene of running hand in hand a few minutes ago, she couldn't help but take out her phone to check the text messages.
Logically speaking, they should have sent text messages asking where they were, but why didn't they send anything?
However, just a few minutes ago, the grassroots officer A who discovered that he had lost track of the surveillance target was very panicked. If the gentleman who was decisive in killing knew about this matter, he would definitely die. He looked at the grassroots officer B who was also nervous and suggested in a low voice.
road:
"Now, let's not tell sir about missing you, right?"
"No, if you don't tell, the consequences will be even worse!" Grassroots employee B frowned, recalling how his ex-partner was tortured after being shot through the limbs by Beretta because of lies. He said with an embarrassed face: "That gentleman hates deception and betrayal very much.
, so we’d better report honestly.”
Even if you die, you can at least die comfortably.
After grassroots employee B took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number that he would never dare to call on weekdays. Just hearing the "beep" sound from the other end of the phone, he felt that his heartbeat had progressed.
to a weird speed.
When the call was connected, grassroots employee B did not waste time and said bluntly:
"I'm really sorry for bothering you, sir. Due to our negligence, Miyano Akemi was taken away from the surveillance area by an unknown young man. Please punish me sir!"
After saying this, the other end of the phone fell into silence, and only the slight engine noise could be heard.
The two grassroots staff were dripping with sweat from running. Perhaps they were afraid of being heard breathing due to running, so they held their breath with all their strength to maintain this disturbing silence.
When the two of them could no longer hold their breath, a short sneer finally came from the other end of the phone, as if the other party didn't care that Miyano Akemi escaped from the surveillance range.
"A kid in the rebellious stage will always try to make some noise to resist the adults, but when she calms down, she will realize that there is no way she can escape from the palms of the adults."
The long silver hair covered his expression but could not hide the ugly curve of his mouth. He rolled down the window and did not care about driving safety at all. He reached out and flicked the cigarette ashes, and said slowly:
"Just go back to the apartment and wait. She will come back obediently."
"Okay sir, we'll go back right now."
The polite man wearing sunglasses sitting next to him showed a hint of worry. He drove the vehicle and looked to the side. He waited until the silver-haired man hung up the phone before asking aloud:
"Brother, do you really need to capture that woman Miyano Akemi? If she really escapes, it won't be easy for us to explain the other side, right?"
"Are you questioning my decision? Vodka." The silver-haired man looked to the left, his dark green eyes filled with coldness. It was obvious that he didn't like anyone questioning his decision.
Upon hearing this, the man in sunglasses named Vodka quickly shook his head and denied:
"No, big brother, I just think..."
"The person she cares about most is still in our hands. Do you think she will run away?"
A hunter always knows his prey. The silver-haired man focused his eyes on the empty cigarette box, squeezing it as hard as if he was squeezing an ant to death. He chuckled lightly but did not smile at all. He lowered his eyes and said coldly:
"Rather than the prey that will go home obediently, I want to know who the man is who led her to escape."
"I will let the intelligence team investigate. Will we deal with it directly after the results are obtained?"
"It's not necessary. Make good use of this to make her obedient and stop running away."
Vodka instantly understood what his elder brother meant, and there was joy in his tone:
"Hey, eldest brother is still awesome, he is so thoughtful."
"Huh, don't flatter me, drive hard, you're over the line."
