Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 156 Vermouth: Gastly, you don't want your secret to be known by others, do you?

"Xiu, are you alright?!"

Judy came into the alley and helped Shuichi Akai, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet.

Furthermore, she had witnessed the entire scene of Miyano Akemi beating Akai Shuichi, and felt a pang of heartache.

But this is something Shuichi Akai has to face, since he really didn't do a good job as an undercover agent.

It's one thing to not know Miyano Akemi's identity, but to do this even after knowing she's your cousin deserves a beating.

They're already in such a terrible situation, and you still bully them? What are you if not an animal?

"I am fine."

"These are just superficial injuries, nothing serious. You'll be fine after two or three days of rest. Don't worry."

Shuichi Akai swayed twice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his cheeks twitched involuntarily.

Although the injury wasn't serious, the damage to his cheeks was still quite severe; both sides of his cheeks were swollen, and the inside of his mouth was also damaged, making it very painful to speak.

Besides that, there was also excruciating pain in the abdomen, but that was about it.

As far as the damage Miyano Akemi did to him was concerned, it was less than the damage a handgun would have done to him; there really wasn't much of a problem.

"It's good that you're alright. I was really shocked to see you injured like this," Judy said.

This was the first time she had ever seen Shuichi Akai suffer such severe injuries; she had never seen anything like it before.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine in a few days. Let's go back now." Akai Hideaki glanced behind him and said calmly, "Looks like Amuro isn't planning on causing me any trouble today!"

He thought Amuro Tooru would also come to cause him trouble, but he didn't. He was prepared to get a beating and spend a few days in the hospital.

It looks like I won't be able to go to the hospital.

"Oh, Amuro Tooru will come and beat you up too?" Judy exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Akai Shuichi said, "Maybe! Back when we were in America, I was sent to deal with Scotland, whose identity had been exposed. He ended up committing suicide with a pistol, and Amuro Tooru arrived a step too late and happened to see a bit of it."

"Furthermore, there were probably other members of the organization around at the time, so I confessed that I killed Scotland, and he believed me immediately."

"However, after so many years, he should know how Scotland died now that he's clear-headed."

"But he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, and the death of Scotland was also somewhat related to Amuro Tooru."

"It's also related to Amuro Tooru?" Judy was taken aback.

Hideaki Akai nodded and continued, "There is indeed a connection. We were on the rooftop at the time, and the footsteps that Amuro was making were heard by Scotland. He thought it was someone else from the organization, so he approached me and used the pistol in my hand to commit suicide, shooting through my phone and my heart."

"Of course, even without Amuro Tooru's arrival, Scotland would have chosen to end his life in this way, because he had companions and family who needed protection!"

"Moreover, Scotland doesn't necessarily have to die. With the FBI's power, they can protect Scotland and then exchange that for cooperation."

He felt it was a pity that Scotland died; if Scotland were still alive, he would have been able to cooperate with Amuro Tooru with 100% certainty.

However, it will still take some effort to cooperate with Amuro Tooru now.

He thought that if Amuro beat him up, it would make him feel better, and then they could have a proper talk.

But now, Amuro Tooru has no intention of meeting him, let alone having a conversation.

Amuro Tooru probably really wants to deal with him, capture him and bring him back to the organization to gain merit, obtain a higher position, and then destroy the organization.

But he didn't think Amuro Tooru alone could destroy the organization, after all, the drugs they developed were coveted by the FBI and some other politicians!

As the nephew of Miyano Elena and Miyano Atsushi, he knew far more information than Amuro Tooru.

However, he didn't know that Amuro Tooru's first love was Miyano Elena.

“I see. So what do we do now?” Judy asked.

"Let's take it one step at a time, but be careful lately. Your FBI identity has been exposed to this guy. Although he's unlikely to make a move against you, you still need to be careful."

"And I felt something was off when Miyano Akemi suddenly appeared in this shop."

He had already investigated beforehand and found that Akemi Miyano, using the alias Masami Hirota, worked at 4M Bank.

He felt there must be something wrong with her suddenly quitting her job at a bank and becoming a waitress at a restaurant.

However, he is not yet clear about the problem and needs to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

Maybe it's related to the Black Organization, or perhaps to Gin or Vermouth!

“Okay, I’ll be careful. You should too. You’re injured now, so don’t push yourself,” Judy reminded her.

She's now at least an English teacher at Teitan High School, so she has a legitimate position. Amuro Tooru shouldn't be targeting her specifically.

On the contrary, Shuichi Akai is now injured, and given the enmity between them, he is more likely to cause trouble for Shuichi Akai.

"Don't worry, I've prepared several safe houses. I won't show myself until I'm fully healed. Don't contact me during this time either. If anything happens, I'll contact you."

"Just drop me off here. You can go back now."

At this moment, Shuichi Akai and Jodie arrived at a crossroads, and it was time for them to part ways.

"Can you do it alone?"

"No problem. Even if I'm injured now, no one can beat me. Besides, Amuro Tooru shouldn't be in such a hurry to cause me trouble. I still have some time." Shuichi Akai said confidently.

"That's okay!"

Judy nodded and released her arm from Shuichi Akai's.

"Remember to let me know when you get home safely." Akai Shuichi nodded and said, "Okay."

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"what?"

"Just forget about me! We can't go back to the way things were, so don't wait for me anymore. Continuing to wait is just a waste of time."

So Judy, I wish you find new happiness!

After saying that, Shuichi Akai clutched his stomach and walked away into the distance.

Judy stared at Shuichi Akai's departing figure, stunned, and murmured softly, "I knew it."

"We can never go back to the way things were!"

She already knew about this after Shuichi Akai returned to the FBI, but she still refused to give up.

But now that Shuichi Akai has said so, there's no need for her to insist any further.

Because some things cannot be forced.

"Then goodbye, Xiu."

After Shuichi Akai's figure disappeared from sight, Jodie also turned and left, heading towards the direction of the apartment.

The kitchen of Kitahara Chinese Restaurant.

"Amuro, aren't you going to cause trouble for this Mr. Shuichi Akai?" Kitahara Natsuhiro asked with a smile.

In his perception, Shuichi Akai and Jodie had already left the place and that the two of them had let go of each other.

At the same time, he also knew that Shuichi Akai was not seriously injured, only suffering minor injuries.

On one hand, Shuichi Akai is tough enough to take a beating, and on the other hand, Akemi Miyano is too weak.

If Miyano Akemi were a 'weak woman' like Ran Mouri, with both strength and speed at A-rank, then Akai Shuichi would probably have been beaten to death by now.

After all, Xiao Lan is a tough guy who has beaten up Ireland and Binga.

"No, I still have work to do, so I won't bother him for now. Besides, he's in Tokyo right now, so I have plenty of time to go find him," Amuro Toru said with a smile.

He didn't just want to beat up Shuichi Akai; he wanted to capture the guy and hand him over to the Black Organization as a means to advance his career.

Only in this way can we comfort the spirit of Zhufu Jingguang in heaven.

It also helped Akemi Miyano avenge her great enemy.

"I see."

Kitahara Natsuyu nodded, took off his apron and hat, and hung them aside: "It's getting late, so I'll head back now. You guys should also get off work early."

"Okay, boss, you can go back now."

"Ah."

Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded and left the store directly through the back door of the kitchen.

At the same time, he took out his phone and sent a text message to Yukiko.

Can I still come to your place today?

Yesterday's good time was interrupted by Vermouth, but he still wanted to continue. Of course, it was quite exciting when Vermouth was outside the door.

Shortly after, Yukiko's text message arrived.

Stop thinking about it.

Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at the text message and sighed. He knew that it was hopeless for him today.

"That wretched Vermouth, one day you'll be serving me too, preferably with Yukiko!"

He muttered something to himself, then put his phone away and followed the scent left by Shuichi Akai.

"Ok?"

Just then, Kitahara Natsuyu suddenly felt a gaze and glanced in a certain direction without leaving a trace, but did not find anyone.

But
Kitahara Natsuhiro could already smell a familiar scent.

"It's no use, Vermouth. Even if you change your scent, you can't completely cover up the smell emanating from your body."

"But why is Vermouth following me? Could it be because of what happened yesterday?"

"So she found out I was Yukiko's new man, so she secretly followed me to see what kind of man I was?"

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuyu was unaware that his Gastly disguise had been exposed.

"That's right, this man is the Gastly I've been looking for!" Vermouth thought to herself as she hid behind the wall around the corner.

Although no DNA was found, she found something even more interesting.

That is, there is also a database in Tokyo with a name named Kitahara Natsuhiro, who is also a teacher at Teitan Elementary School, and even has the same address.

However, the results of her investigation showed that the DNA did not match.

Then there's only one possibility: this guy in front of us is Gastly, and he's replaced the real Kitahara Natsuhiro, living in this world.

"Gastly, I've finally caught you red-handed!"
