Chapter Twenty-Eight: Reunion VS Undercurrent
Phantom didn't know that Jibu and Yanagi had already left for Taiwan, and she was in Keelung with Saito at this time.
Saito spoke very well, because Taipei was some distance from Keelung, so the two set off early in the morning. Originally, Saito wanted to drive straight over, but Phantom chose the train, and now she really has a bit of a lingering fear about cars.
Sitting on the train from Taipei to Keelung, Phantom Glass looked at the scenery outside the window, blowing a cool breeze, and letting her thoughts fly.
In her previous life, she didn't have the opportunity to take a train at all, from birth to later going to university, part-time job, and graduate school entrance examination were all in that small inland city, although she took the Shinkansen several times after being reincarnated as a phantom glass, but she never had the feeling of an ordinary train.
When she thinks of the Shinkansen, she thinks of Shiraishi and Yagyu, the temple fairs in Kanagawa and the cherry blossom festival that year. Looking at the clusters of unknown wildflowers near the railway, Phantom Glass couldn't help but shake his head.
Shiraishi should wake up by now, right? Is the injury serious? Yanagi must be worried about himself, right? And the traces and the shinobi, they must be looking for themselves everywhere, right?
Phantom suddenly withdrew her gaze from the window, closed her eyes and lowered her head, her heart flew back to Japan, back to the few people who were worried about her.
"Xiaoli, don't think too much, we'll go back to Japan the day after tomorrow." Saito, who was sitting opposite, seemed to see Phantom Glass's thoughts, and spoke considerately.
"Back to Japan?" Phantom Glass suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Saito helplessly. Although she missed them, she was even more afraid that she would affect them, and she really didn't dare to go back.
"Xiaoli, escaping is not the solution to the problem, don't let the people who love you worry about you." Saito stretched out his hand and patted Phantom Glass on the shoulder, and persuaded him.
"But I'm afraid I'm going to hurt them."
"Didn't I say that? Don't care what others say, do they say you're a disaster, are you a disaster? What are you when they are? God or Buddha? Do they forget what they say? ”
"But ......" Before Phantom Glass could finish speaking, the words were interrupted by Saito: "Don't be, think about the people around you who love you and care about you, do you really want to let them worry about you all the time?" Do you want to avoid them for the rest of your life? Xiaoli, don't be stupid, cherish it when you still have relatives around you, and don't start regretting it when you have nothing like me. ”
Yes, you should cherish it, Dong Qiuping also said that you should cherish your blessings as a man. When she left Japan for three years, she was separated from her aunt forever, and if someone had an accident this time......
Bah! Phantom Glass hurriedly shook his head to deny the idea just now, you crow's mouth, you can't think about it, everyone has to be fine, no one can be fine!
"Thank you, Haruhiko, I know what to do." Phantom Glass showed a grateful smile at Saito, fortunately he knew Saito, he really helped him a lot, not only took her in, but also enlightened her, how lucky she was to meet such a good friend.
"Then I'll rest assured, let's have a good time today, and I may not have a chance to come out with you in the future." Saito smiled at Phantom Glass, and then moved his gaze to the window, I don't know why, Phantom Glass suddenly felt that Saito seemed to be filled with a kind of sadness at this time.
Maybe he thought about something unhappy in the past, right? Phantom Glass also stopped making a sound, and both of them looked out the window, each thinking.
Because the train was delayed when they came back from Keelung, it was already midnight when Saito and Phantom Glass returned to their residence in Taipei.
Phantom Li saw that there seemed to be a figure at the door of the villa from a distance, so he asked Saito suspiciously: "Haruhiko, your eyesight should be better than mine?" Look at it, there seems to be someone at the door. ”
Saito looked around, but after all, it was late at night, and the light was not good, so he couldn't see clearly.
"You go behind me, and we'll see. Rest assured, the security measures here are very good, and not everyone can come in. ”
Saito took the phantom glass behind him uneasily, and the two slowly walked towards the door of the villa.
"Xiaoli!" Two male voices rang out at the same time.
Phantom glass's eyes immediately widened, it turned out to be Jibu and Yanagi, why did they come? Looking at the two familiar faces, Phantom Glass's tears fell.
"Brother, Hiryu ......"
After nodding to Jibu and Shinobi, Saito turned back to Phantom and said, "I'll go open the door, and I'll go in and talk about something." ”
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
"It's okay." After Saito finished speaking, he walked to the door and took out the key, and said to Jibu and Shinobu as he opened the door: "Let's talk about it first, it's windy at night, and you don't want Xiaoli to catch a cold, right?" ”
Jibe and Shinobu supported Phantom Glass and followed Saito into the villa.
"I'm sorry to worry you." After everyone sat down, Phantom Glass said apologetically to Jibu and Yanagi.
Jibe and Yanagi arrived in Taiwan early in the morning, and after inquiring about Saito's residence, the two came running, but they happened to miss it with the two who went to Keelung, so they waited at the door of the villa until midnight to see Phantom Glass come back.
"Xiaoli, you are really too willful this time! Did you know that we're going to turn the whole of Japan over in order to find you? I know you've been wronged, have you forgotten me and forbearance? With us here, we will naturally seek justice for you, do you treat us as brothers? "The trace department is really angry this time, and he doesn't even say "Uncle Ben".
"Xiaoli, you really scared us out this time, after Baishi woke up and knew that you had run away, he was so excited that his wounds burst open, and the doctor gave him stitches again." There was no blame in Yanagi's tone, just stating the facts, but it made Phantom Glass's guilt stronger.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Phantom Glass covered her mouth with her hands, her hands trembling slightly, and tears of guilt kept slipping down.
Saito took out two tissues from the tissue box on the table and handed them to Phantom Glass, comforting: "Xiaoli, don't cry, it's all over, you can go back to Japan tomorrow, your cousin and they are still waiting for you to go back." ”
"Thanks, what about you? Don't you go back? Phantom glass sobbed and took the tissue, she remembered that Saito said that he would return to Japan the day after tomorrow, how could he not seem to be ready to leave?
"Compared to Japan, Taiwan is my home." Saito smiled slightly, but Phantom Glass saw helplessness and bitterness in it.
Jibe and Yanagi glanced at each other, it seemed that this Saito and Phantom Glass had become very good, they actually wanted to ask Saito what he wanted to do, but because Phantom Glass was there, they couldn't speak.
"Xiaoli, go wash your face, by the way, please pour me a glass of water, okay?" Saito saw that Jibu and Yanagi had something to ask him, so he made an excuse to open the phantom glass.
"Well, okay, brother, Hiru, you sit down first, I'll be back soon." Phantom Glass also felt that she couldn't see anyone in tears now, so she told everyone and left.
Seeing the figure of Phantom Glass disappearing at the stairs, Saito said faintly: "Both, you can ask whatever you want." ”
"Why are you deliberately approaching Xiaoli?" After all, Yanagi is a lawyer, and when he comes up, he begins to question aggressively.
Jibu didn't speak, but just caressed the tears with his right hand and looked at Saito with deep meaning, but he still felt that he couldn't see through this man's thoughts.
"I think you're misunderstood, I don't have much to do with Xiaoli. That day, Xiaoli came out of the hospital and called me and asked me to send her out of Japan, and I didn't agree at first, but then I couldn't bear to see that she seemed to be really hit hard. It just so happened that I was going back to Taiwan to deal with some things, so I brought her over to relax, and even if you didn't come, I would send her back to Japan the day after tomorrow. As Xiaoli's friend, I won't hurt her. Saito didn't care about Yagyu's seemingly impolite questioning, and explained with a smile.
Yanagi was about to say something, but Jibu grabbed him.
"I hope what you said is true, you know the trace family, and Xiaoli is the only sister of Uncle Ben, if something happens to her, Uncle Ben will make you regret coming to this world." The tone of the trace was calm, but the words were as sharp as a knife, and the threat and momentum hidden in it rushed towards Saito.
Saito still smiled softly, and said calmly: "I don't doubt the words of the heir of Japan's No. 1 Jibu Foundation, I still say that, whether you believe it or not, Xiaoli is my friend, and I won't harm her." ”
After saying that, Saito stood up and said, "It's late, you definitely won't worry about Xiaoli and I being alone, I'll go clean up the guest room for the two of you, and say goodbye first." ”
When Saito left, Yanagi asked the trace department suspiciously: "Trace department, why did you hold me just now, do you really believe him?" ”
"Uncle Ben doesn't believe him, but his mind is really hidden deeply, and with Uncle Ben's insight, he can't see anything." Jibu crossed Erlang's legs, put his hands on his knees casually, and looked thoughtful.
"Then how do you ......?"
"You want to ask Uncle Ben why he didn't just take Xiaoli away, right?" After getting Liu Sheng's affirmative nod, the trace department suddenly stood up, with his hands behind his back, facing the full momentum of the king of Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng seemed to be a little unable to withstand the momentum of the trace department, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Hehe, even you can't withstand Uncle Ben's full momentum, but that man hasn't even changed his expression, this man is not simple. And with Xiaoli's character, as long as he is a friend, he will definitely maintain it to the end, if we fall out with him now, then we will only push Xiaoli to his side, if he really has any intentions for Xiaoli, then Xiaoli will be really dangerous. ”
"But we can't do nothing." Yanagi was still worried, he always felt that this Saito was not as simple as a friend to Xiaoli.
"Who says we don't do anything? It's just that the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, and if I'm too anxious to make a move, the other party will calculate. Don't worry, with Uncle Ben here, he will definitely keep Xiaoli thoughtful! ”
Yanagi nodded, and the trace looked in the direction of Saito's departure, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose, hooking up an evil arc.
Haruhiko Saito, you'd better not fight Xiaoli's idea, otherwise Uncle Ben will let you know what life is better than death!
