"Hehe, Mr. Fukuda is so polite, you don't have to worry about the things on the plane all the time, but I just happened to be free today, and it doesn't hurt to go to the hot springs!" Zhou Ping said casually.

"Oh, that's great! Mr. Zhou, I'm already ready here, just waiting for your arrival!" As soon as Zhou Ping said that he was free, Fukuda Ichiro immediately gave a warm response.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, I don't know if you are still in the Dragon Hall now, I have arranged a helicopter here, and they will pick you up at the hotel when the time comes, you can just take the helicopter over." ”

I didn't expect Ichiro Fukuda to be so sincere, and his homework was so well prepared, and Zhou Ping's good impression of him suddenly rose a lot.

"I just came out of the National Museum, and I'm about to go back to the Ryumeikan!"

"Hay, then I'll have them wait for you at the hotel. ”

"Okay, then let's see you in Hakone!"

"Hai, see you in Hakone!"

Ending the call, Zhou Ping drove all the way back to the Dragon Name Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived at the hall of the Ryumeikan, he saw Yumi Sakai leading a well-dressed middle-aged man with a big back and a young woman who looked like a secretary walking towards him.

Coming to Zhou Ping, Yumi Sakai bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Zhou Sang, this gentleman and young lady are waiting for you all the way." ”

Zhou Ping, who had long known that someone was coming, looked up and down at a man and a woman in front of him, and then nodded to Yumi Sakai: "Hard work!"

The middle-aged man bowed to Zhou Ping very politely, and then said, "Hello, you are Mr. Zhou, we were sent by Mr. Fukuda to pick you up, you must already know!"

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Fukuda has already communicated with me!"

"Hay!"

The man nodded again, "Then let's ask Mr. Zhou to come on the plane with us!"

Zhou Ping shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, lead the way!"

"Haiy, Mr. Zhou, please!"

Saying that, Zhou Ping followed them all the way out of the Dragon Hall under the burning gaze of Yumi Sakai.

The plan was originally good, but unfortunately it never caught up with the changes.

When the group came to the helicopter parking place, they were unable to fly the plane because the pilot was suddenly unwell.

If you find a pilot for an airplane, it will take at least an hour or so.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhou, why don't you take a car? It's also very fast!" said Da Beitou with a flushed face, he was afraid that Zhou Ping would not be able to go.

"In a car?" Zhou Ping looked at the other party, he really didn't know how far it was, anyway, he felt that the helicopter should be soon.

"Yes, it will take more than an hour to arrive, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Fukuda is already waiting for the driver in Hakone, please be sure to enjoy it!"

"Mr. Zhou, we will definitely send you to you as soon as possible, and there will be no delay. The woman next to her echoed.

"Okay, let's take the car!" Zhou Ping didn't care too much, anyway, he didn't want to drive it himself.

Although it was the weekend, the journey to Hakone was relatively smooth, and after a smooth and wild ride, we finally arrived at the Yoshiike Hotel arranged by Ichiro Fukuda.

Opening the car door, as soon as Zhou Ping got out of the car, Ichiro Fukuda, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked over.

Behind him were two big men, who looked at their physique and expression, as well as the cold temperament exuded from their bodies, they knew that they belonged to the category of personal bodyguards, and both of them were well-trained, obviously not ordinary goods.

Three steps and two steps came to Zhou Ping, and after standing still, Fukuda Ichiro bowed slightly to Zhou Ping with a little apology: "Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect such an accident, it's really rude, please forgive me!"

This one-and-a-half-hour drive is nothing for Zhou Ping, and this Maybach is not uncomfortable to sit in.

Moreover, for unexpected situations or something, Zhou Ping is no stranger now.

After all, in the past time loops, it is not uncommon to encounter such situations.

So seeing Fukuda Ichiro's expression, Zhou Ping waved his hand disapprenously: "Hi, Mr. Fukuda, you don't have to mind, no one wants such an accident, since I'm already here, you don't have to worry about these little things." ”

Hearing Zhou Ping's words, Ichiro Fukuda's face, which was originally quite serious, suddenly relaxed a lot.

He is also a free and easy person, since Zhou Ping doesn't mind, he is naturally relieved.

"Thank you Zhou Sang for your understanding, I have prepared a luncheon inside, and I specially give you a warm wash!"

"Okay, I've been sitting for so long, I'm indeed a little hungry!" Zhou Ping touched his stomach and said.

Fukuda Ichiro suddenly said a little embarrassed: "Ah! I made a mistake, I'm really sorry." Zhou Sang, please inside!"

Walking into the hotel, the unique decoration and layout inside also made Zhou Ping, who is engaged in architecture, secretly praised.

It's as if it's not just a hotel, it's also a delightful attraction, and there are no other tourists except the waiters.

Could it be that it was cleared by Futian?

Thinking of Ichiro Fukuda's style and the sincerity he showed in this invitation, this seems very likely.

Just when Zhou Ping was still a little confused, Fukuda Ichiro seemed to see his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Zhou Sang, this time in order to express my most sincere gratitude to you, I specially chartered the entire hotel, so as not to disturb your rest, I hope this arrangement, you will like it!"

Zhou Ping smiled: Well, this kind of pomp and circumstance is indeed not annoying! Fukuda Ichiro is really a caring person!

......

At the wine table, Zhou Ping and Ichiro Fukuda chatted happily while tasting food and wine.

After eating a meal, Fukuda Ichiro admired Zhou Ping so much.

He never imagined that a young man in his twenties would have such a profound knowledge reserve and such a wide range of knowledge.

also refreshed his definition of genius, Zhou Sang is a god at all!

Prior to this, Ichiro Fukuda also had a certain degree of understanding of Zhou Ping through some channels.

Everything Zhou Ping showed in the United States made him feel incredible, which was one of the reasons why he couldn't wait to meet Zhou Ping again.

He really wanted to see if this amazing young man was worthy of his name, both civil and military.

Now it seems that Ichiro Fukuda feels that those materials seriously underestimate the other party.

In other words, what he understands is only the tip of the iceberg, and the person in front of him is indeed not simple.

So in the depths of Fukuda Ichiro's heart, he paid more and more attention to Zhou Ping, not only grateful, but also a little awe.

"Zhou San, it's still early, it's not appropriate to soak in hot springs after drinking, it's better to go to the scenic spots in Hakone to browse, and you should consume food. How about I also act as a tour guide to fulfill the friendship of the landlord?" suggested Ichiro Fukuda.

There is a way that the guest is as the host goes.

Since Ichiro Fukuda, who is the master, has put it forward like this, of course Zhou Ping has no objection.

Nodding, Zhou Ping said with a relaxed face: "No problem, then trouble the Futian tour guide!"

"Yo Xi, then let's go!" Ichiro Fukuda clapped his hands.

When they staggered out of the hotel, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was already parked at the door, and the waiter standing next to the car opened the door with a smile on his face to welcome them.

"Mr. Zhou, let me take you to the Sculpture Forest Art Museum first, it's worth a visit. Fukuda Ichiro said.

"Okay, I believe in Mr. Fukuda's vision!"

With that, the two entered the car one after another.

The carved forest is not far from the Yoshiike Hotel, and it is only about a 10-minute journey away.

Tickets have been prepared for a long time. When they get out of the car, they go straight inside, and it is like a park, the air is exceptionally fresh, the courtyard is green, and it is relatively quiet.

Walking along the green path with Shuhei, Ichiro Fukuda, as the owner, talked eloquently: "Shu-san, this is the first outdoor art museum in Japan to use sculpture as the theme of the exhibition, and it is also one of the most famous art museums in Japan. ”

"It's rare to find a large-scale art museum like this, which has a permanent exhibition of 120 works by modern and modern sculptors, and I heard that you are engaged in architecture, and I believe there will be something you like!"

With Ichiro Fukuda's explanation, Zhou Ping also watched the carved artworks around him.

The museum is built on a hillside, and a soothing slope is lined with a variety of large and small carvings, many of which are full of whimsical creativity and evoke.

For example, there is a cross-space structure, and there are 72 diamond molecular structures composed of human body images, 72 males and 72 females, for a total of 144.

Another example is Hercules who draws a bow, a statue of a Greek mythological hero shooting a monster, and so on.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Ichiro Fukuda, Zhou Ping went to the indoor Picasso exhibition and experienced the charm of abstract art up close.

After leaving the Sculpture Forest Art Museum, Ichiro Fukuda took him to Lake Ashi, where he could see the rippling blue waters of the lake and the towering Mount Fuji in the distance.

Seeing that there was enough time, Shuhei went to experience the only mountain train in Japan.

From Hakone-Yumoto Station at an altitude of 108 meters, it took about 40 minutes to reach the final point of Gora Station at an altitude of 553 meters.

This time I rushed down, when I soaked in the hot spring at night, it was very comfortable, and Fukuda Ichiro also intimately arranged two technicians to help Zhou Ping massage and relax, pure relaxation!

......

The next day, Monday, October 15, 2018.

Hakone, Yoshiike ryokan 3rd floor suite.

On the big bed were two white delicate bodies and a strong man, and the three of them were entangled in extremely ambiguous postures, like two vines entwined around a large tree.

Dingdingding......

A hurried phone rang abruptly, interrupting the silence in the room.

Zhou Ping, who was woken up, groped around the bed with his eyes closed and got his mobile phone.

I opened my sleepy eyes and looked at the phone number displayed on it, it was this guy Kojiro Yoshida calling.

"Hey, Kojiro, I'll be angry if you call me so early in the future! Tell me, what's the matter!" Zhou Ping asked lazily with the phone in one hand and rubbing his cheek with the other.

Last night was so relaxing that he just wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally.

Now being woken up by the ringtone of the mobile phone is naturally a little unpleasant.

"Big brother ......" Kojiro Yoshida's voice seemed to be a little dry, and there was an indescribable sadness.

"Well, what's the matter, you kid shouldn't want to go to the bubble bath again!" Zhou Ping twisted his neck and teased.

Sad words came out of the phone again.

"Big brother, it's not like this, it's ...... It was Iron Man who had an accident, he had a serious car accident and became a vegetative person!"

What the?

Zhou Ping's hand that was rubbing his cheeks suddenly stopped.

Iron Man got into a car accident and became a vegetative person?

Wasn't it okay the day before yesterday?

Zhou Ping couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Hey, Kojiro, is it really fake?"

Kojiro Yoshida continued: "Big brother, it's true, it's true! It happened last night, and now I'm in the IU intensive care unit of the University of Tokyo Hospital!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ping finally reacted, and immediately lifted the beautiful woman who was still entangled in him, and while wearing pants, he said to Yoshida Kojiro on the phone: "Okay, I know, I'm in Hakone now, I'll be back soon!"

After speaking, Zhou Ping hung up the phone and called Ichiro Fukuda again, saying that there was a very urgent matter that needed to be returned to Tokyo immediately.

Fortunately, the helicopter had already been driven by another pilot last night, and under the arrangement of Ichiro Fukuda, Zhou Ping got on the plane directly and went to the Hospital Affiliated to the University of Tokyo School of Medicine.

An hour later, Zhou Ping was standing next to the VIP bedside in the hospital's intensive care unit.

Looking at the West Mouth Iron Man who was full of tubes on the bed and wrapped like a rice dumpling, Zhou Ping's eyes were cold, but he secretly said in his heart: Iron Man, fortunately you have a big brother, and you are still in this cycle, so after the next cycle is restarted, you can still be alive and escape this catastrophe!

At this moment, there are still a lot of people standing in the room, in addition to Kojiro Yoshida who brought him over, there are also Saiguchi Sanoke, Nishiguchi Tetsuo's father, and some bigwigs of Sumiyoshikai.

These bigwigs all looked solemn, and their breathing seemed a little heavy.

Sanosuke Nishiguchi looked at Zhou Ping, who was silent, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Mr. Zhou, I have long heard Tetsuo talk about your deeds, and I am really grateful that you saved his life last time!"

The man in front of him, about 50 years old, has a big back with a shiny back, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, and a resolute look, and he looks like a person who is not easy to get along with.

Moreover, he exuded a hint of danger all over his body, and he was not angry and arrogant.

But at this moment, his figure was slightly tired, and a strong sadness emerged between his eyebrows, his only son had suffered such an accident, how could he not break his heart!

Looking at the big guy in front of him who stomped his feet, the whole of Japan would tremble, Zhou Ping couldn't help but murmur in his heart: No matter what his identity is, he can't do without family affection!

Although Nishiguchi Sanosuke's identity is very special, Zhou Ping didn't have any awe for him, but at the moment he was very sympathetic, and said calmly: "Mr. Nishiguchi, you're welcome, Tetsuo is my friend, I didn't expect him to encounter such an accident!"

"Mr. Nishiguchi, what the hell is going on?

Hearing Shuhei's question, Nishiguchi Sanosuke glanced at Kojiro Yoshida next to him.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Ping also followed his gaze and looked at Yoshida Kojiro with some doubts: "Kojiro, what do you know, can you tell me?"

When Zhou Ping asked this, Yoshida Kojiro immediately briefly explained the whole story.
