The call consisted of only one sentence, which was then cut off. Yuan Zhisheng recognized Lu Mingfei's voice, and from his tone, it seemed as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
“It seems to be true,” Yuan Zhisheng told Sakura the train information that Lu Mingfei had mentioned. Sakura checked on her computer and immediately found that the train would stop at Matsuyama Station, where she could then transfer to another train back to Tokyo.
"Why does Gu Ran want money?" Crow still couldn't figure it out.
“He probably realized Lu Mingfei’s plan but didn’t stop him. He just wanted to extort money from us.” Yuan Zhisheng had met Gu Ran a few times and could roughly guess his thoughts. “Give it to him. Although I guess he won’t stop Erii from coming back, since he wants this reward, let’s just give it to him. Anyway, we were going to give this money away anyway.”
Chapter 463 Dealing with the Traitor!
Genjiro is quite generous with money; he's never stingy when it comes to giving money.
Gu Ran was right about some things. He had never paid attention to Erii's education, thinking that playing games with her was enough.
Therefore, when he saw Erii, dressed elegantly, walking down the train platform, he realized that she was no longer that little girl. She was like a high school student who had run away from home, a bit rebellious, and always longing for the outside world.
This is perfectly normal, just like when he was in high school in the mountains, he longed to eat at the most luxurious hotels in Tokyo every day.
"You're back." Genjiro and Erii stared at each other for a long time before he finally broke the silence.
He's not a child; there's no need for him to argue with his little sister.
Erii then took out a small notebook, on which a line of text was written in Japanese: "His aunt (I'm back)".
The brother and sister then smiled and reconciled, neither blaming the other.
Because Gu Ran gave her a blood transfusion, Erii's body was in good condition. However, since she hadn't received a serum injection for a long time, the dragonification phenomenon on her body started to reappear. Therefore, she needed to return to the medical room as soon as possible to have her blood washed and serum injected.
When they returned to Genji Heavy Industries, Tachibana Masamune was anxious yet secretly delighted, as if he felt he could finally proceed with the next step of his plan.
So, while escorting Erii upstairs, he deliberately received a phone call, and then deliberately went to the other side to chat with her back to everyone.
He knew that Genjiro, with his superior bloodline, would definitely hear his conversation, so there was no point in talking behind someone's back; it was just a gesture.
After Erii returns, he will begin the next steps of his plan: the Well of Corpses, the Yamata no Orochi, the gods must be awakened!
*……*……*
Lu Mingfei drove his Porsche 911 back to the love hotel where he and Erii were staying.
He was a little dazed while driving, his mind a bit muddled. He had shown off in front of Erii today, making her think he was very capable, which made him feel a little smug.
But then he thought that he would never see that lovely girl who adored him and obeyed his every whim again, and he felt a little lost.
So much so that he subconsciously went to the convenience store and bought chilled milk and rice balls, only to realize she was no longer there when he got to the hotel.
But in any case, it's a good thing that he doesn't have to watch her die or execute her himself.
He no longer wanted to execute anyone he knew.
"You're back?" The boss greeted him immediately upon seeing him.
It turns out that as soon as Lu Mingfei and Erii left today, the Sheqi family came looking for them with their photos. The innkeeper was quite loyal and didn't betray Lu Mingfei's information.
She had been waiting since morning until midnight, hoping that Lu Mingfei and Erii would return so she could tell them that the underworld was looking for them and that they should leave immediately.
"It's alright, she's already home, the underworld won't be coming after her anymore," Lu Mingfei explained.
Based on these words and seeing Lu Mingfei's dejected look, the proprietress immediately concluded that they were a couple whose attempt to elope had failed.
So the proprietress comforted Lu Mingfei: "Ganbatte! Don't lose hope in life!"
She's exactly like an old lady in a morning drama who likes to encourage people.
Lu Mingfei quickly echoed with a few "ganbate"s. He wasn't actually disappointed; he just suddenly became more alert and a little scared.
This is treason. I don't know how the Secret Service punishes traitors, but it probably won't end well. Throughout history, there has never been a good end for a traitor.
He returned to his room with a nervous heart. Since he was alone, he didn't turn on the light and walked around the room by the light from outside.
Speaking of which, this room is the largest suite in the hotel, but in order to protect Erii's privacy, he has not asked the staff to come up and clean the room, so it is now a mess.
Erii only tidies up her small toys and favorite dresses; she just throws everything else around, like her underwear, which is scattered all over the floor. The young lady never tidies up. As for Lu Mingfei, the dormitory he and Finger have always lived in is known as a doghouse, and he's definitely not the type to tidy up.
He placed the chilled milk and rice balls he had bought on the coffee table, then sat down and stared blankly at the boundless night.
The room still seemed to retain Erii's scent. He couldn't believe that he hadn't done anything with Erii in the past seven days, but his lustful desires had always been there. Any man could see Erii's beauty; she was not only beautiful but also well-developed.
But alas, even at his wedding in his dream, he still abandoned her without hesitation.
Someone likes you, wants to marry you, and is a very beautiful girl, so why did you leave her?
He scratched his messy hair vigorously, then suddenly remembered that he needed to find an excuse to explain to his brothers. In fact, he had been thinking about it the whole way while driving, but he couldn't come up with a good excuse.
In a daze, something metallic, hard, and cold pressed against the back of his head.
Lu Mingfei immediately raised his hands in fear and quickly surrendered.
Chu Zihang and Gu Ran emerged from either side of the curtains.
Lu Mingfei sat there, watching two tall figures slowly walk towards him. They were backlit, so Lu Mingfei couldn't see their faces or know their expressions.
But Lu Mingfei knew that Gu Ran must have known about his plan, otherwise he wouldn't have given him a credit card and helped Erii get a blood transfusion.
Perhaps we can try to persuade him to plead on our behalf.
"Don't move! Hand over all your weapons!" Gu Ran said angrily. "We've been following you all this way. We've seen everything you've done. Hand over your weapons, raise your hands and surrender! Don't move!"
"But how can I hand over my weapon if I don't move?" Lu Mingfei said something ridiculous. "You're not going to empty the magazine like those American agents do, are you?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Gu Ran urged. "Hurry up."
Lu Mingfei reached to his waist and pulled out the Desert Eagle, which still contained 'Burning Blood' bullets.
He placed the gun on the coffee table and pushed it aside. Caesar, seeing this, took the gun back and retrieved his own.
“I let her go. She doesn’t know anything. This has nothing to do with her,” Lu Mingfei said suddenly, his tone firm. “I did it all by myself.”
At this moment, Gu Ran took out three knives from his body and handed one to Caesar and one to Chu Zihang. Then he asked Caesar, "Team leader, we have a traitor among us. What should we do? How about slow slicing?"
"That's not good. If I get cut once, I'll have to scream. If I scream about being cut 3,600 times in the middle of the night, it'll disturb the neighbors." The more nervous Lu Mingfei got, the more he complained.
“Lu Mingfei is right.” Caesar touched the tip of his knife. “Why don’t we just stab him to death?”
"No, my three heroes, let me explain first. I did it on purpose. No, I didn't mean to..." Lu Mingfei was also somewhat incoherent.
He couldn't see Caesar's expression behind him, but he could feel a knife tip pressed against the back of his neck, and Gu Ran was also waving a knife in front of him.
"In that case, let's just stab him to death!" Gu Ran said, and immediately put one hand on Lu Mingfei's shoulder and used the other hand to stab the knife into his heart.
"Hey, are you serious? No way..." Before Lu Mingfei could scream, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. He could clearly feel blood gushing out and splashing onto his face.
Caesar, who is behind him, will also stab Lu Mingfei in the neck with a knife, seemingly intending to finish him off.
"Ah... Ahhh! Huh?" Lu Mingfei cried out a few times, then suddenly realized that he seemed to be perfectly fine, while Gu Ran and Caesar were still stabbing him with knives?
"He's survived so many stabs? When did I become the king of knife resistance?" Lu Mingfei was somewhat confused.
Just then, Chu Zihang turned on the suite's light, illuminating the entire room.
Lu Mingfei then saw Zihang's expression clearly. He was also holding a knife, but he didn't stab anyone; his face was expressionless.
When Lu Mingfei looked down again, he saw that the knife Gu Ran had used to stab him was one of those retractable prop knives, the kind used in movies. The blade was actually made of plastic, and it would retract and spray out red paint after stabbing someone.
Caesar's knife was the same, so the two of them stabbed Lu Mingfei more than a dozen times without any problems; it was just that the paint stained his body red.
"This toy is quite interesting and fun." Caesar patted the tip of the toy knife with his palm. After the tip sprayed the last two sprays of paint, it stopped spraying red paint.
This young nobleman seemed to be playing such a childish game for the first time, and he was having quite a good time.
Lu Mingfei then realized he'd been tricked: "Damn it, what's the point of playing me like this?"
Gu Ran pretended to be angry and said, "You still have the nerve to argue? Do you know what happens to traitors? Gou Yi's sister-in-law was stabbed three times and had six holes in her. Betrayal is punishable by being torn to pieces! You don't know, do you? When you were about to let Erii go, Senior Brother Chu almost went over and used Junyan to blow up the tram. Luckily, we persuaded him."
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was really something that his senior brother, who was known for his ruthlessness, would do. He secretly glanced at Chu Zihang and found that he remained expressionless, just like Bao Zheng, who was judging a case.
He didn't explain anything, as if he really had made that plan in his mind.
"I don't know if you did the right thing or the wrong thing, but sometimes we can't predict the outcome. We can only make decisions based on what you're thinking at that moment," Chu Zihang finally spoke, his tone indifferent.
"Let's go, we've had enough fun, let's get some late-night snacks. We're starving after our journey back," Caesar said, stretching.
“I’m hungry too,” Chu Zihang rarely agreed.
“Wait, I… I still need to pack her things and send them back to her,” Lu Mingfei said.
He had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized that everything seemed to have been packed. Except for his underwear, which he hadn't touched, everything else had been put into a box.
Chapter 464 The Down-on-His-Luck Fingel
"I packed everything a long time ago," Gu Ran said, putting his arm around Lu Mingfei's neck. "I even left you some souvenirs. See how much of a brother I am!"
Lu Mingfei looked at the white lace underwear on the ground and his face turned red: "Pah, who, who wants this kind of souvenir? I, I'm not a pervert, I, I don't want it at all!"
"Then you, her closest confidant, can handle it yourself. We'll wait for you downstairs." Gu Ran patted Lu Mingfei's messy hair. "Hurry up, once you're done, ask the landlady downstairs to mail it out. We sneaked in, so we won't show our faces."
After saying that, the three of them climbed out of the window, leaving only Lu Mingfei to help pack up Erii's remaining personal belongings.
A few minutes later, he packed up all his things and went to eat ramen with Caesar and the others for a late-night snack.
*……*……*
While having a late-night snack, Lu Mingfei found out that it was Gu Ran's idea to scare him with a prop knife. So, in front of Caesar and Chu Zihang, he slyly returned a credit card to Gu Ran and said, "Thank you for your financial support for my plan."
This indirectly tells Caesar and Chu Zihang that Gu Ran was aware of the situation.
Gu Ran calmly took back the credit card Su Enxi had given him and said, "You really have no conscience; now you're even going to report me."
He nudged Lu Mingfei's chest with his elbow again: "So, you've figured it out, haven't you? That girl really likes you, it's not just ordinary trust, right?"
"How...how did you know?" Lu Mingfei asked in surprise as he ate the crispy tempura.
He only discovered the truth after spending a week with Erii, so how did Gu Ran know it at a glance?
Caesar and Chu Zihang exchanged a brief glance and had to agree with Gu Ran's conclusion. Erii's trust in Lu Mingfei was clearly more than just friendship; there was no other explanation besides liking him.
"But... why does she like me?" Lu Mingfei asked somewhat timidly. He had been thinking about this question the whole way, wondering what it was about Erii that made her like him.
"Yeah, what does she like about you? You need to think about it carefully." Gu Ran ate some grilled squid and said, "How about it, consider it? I bet the tortoise won't keep Erii locked up anymore, it'll let her wander around Genji Heavy Industries. How about we try our charm again?"
Caesar took a sip of sake and nodded slightly, while Chu Zihang chewed his ramen, seemingly lost in thought.
"Please... spare me, okay..." Lu Mingfei always felt that it was wrong to take advantage of the girl's feelings. She was like a blank sheet of paper. How could he bear to taint her? How could he let her get involved in the scheming and infighting of adults?
"Since you're unwilling, then you should think carefully about why she likes you." Gu Ran was just making a casual suggestion. He continued, "I think she clearly fell in love with you at first sight. Think about what you did when you first met?"
