Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 559 Sleepless Night
The lights in the hotel were off. Lu Mingfei was lying on the ground wrapped in a quilt, with the dim blue light from his mobile phone screen shining on his face.

On the bed behind them, Liu Miaomiao and Hui Liyi's breathing had become very light. After taking a shower and being busy all day, the two girls fell asleep almost as soon as they lay on the bed, even skipping the bedtime chat.

The solid floor was a bit hard to sleep on, and Lu Mingfei felt a little uncomfortable, so he turned over in the quilt like a bug.

In fact, if he and Liu Miaomiao were to sleep in the same room, even if Liu Miaomiao was shy and unwilling, Lu Mingfei would still shamelessly get on her bed. It's not like they haven't slept in the same bed before, and Liu Miaomiao had been touched by Lu Mingfei in every place on her body that should be touched.

It was just that Eri was also sleeping in the room tonight. Although Eri would definitely not mind, Lu Mingfei couldn't be so cruel as to sleep in the same room with Eri... Besides, Liu Miaomiao would definitely not allow him to do so.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei consciously asked the hotel for another quilt and slept on the floor in the room.

The night was long, but Lu Mingfei tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The three-hour battle during the day had not affected the combat effectiveness of the S-level hybrid at all. Instead, it made him feel a little bit more excited. What's more, Liu Miaomiao was lying on the bed beside him.

However, the most uncomfortable thing in the world is that when you are extremely hungry, there is milk in front of you, but you can't drink it. What's even more uncomfortable is that you can't close your eyes and imagine something to satisfy your hunger... Your girlfriend is sleeping next to you, and you still need to imagine something to satisfy your hunger. What's that called?

Lu Mingfei sighed and turned his head to the other side. On the bed not far away, Eri was sleeping quietly. The curtains were not drawn, and the moonlight shone on her soft hair. The quilt was wrapped all the way to the back of her head, revealing only a delicate little face. Her long eyelashes left two shadows on her face.

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the military training in high school. At that time, Lu Mingfei overheard a night talk in the girls' dormitory through the wall. The topic was "If I marry Chu Zihang, what will I do?"

One of the more sentimental girls said that she just wanted to watch Chu Zihang while he slept and count his eyelashes one by one.

And now Lu Mingfei suddenly understood why that girl said she wanted to look at Chu Zihang and count his eyelashes.

Because in front of the person you are most familiar with and closest to, you may not want to touch her face or force her to tell a story to make some noise. All you want to do is look at her sleeping face and count the time silently.

……

Some people may be able to sleep well tonight, but for some people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

In the top floor conference room of the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building, Genji Chisei sat at the main seat of the round table with his arms folded, looking sinister. Crow, Yasha, and the senior executives of the Executive Bureau sat at the secondary seats beside him.

The aftermath of the attack on the headquarters has been completed, but the Genji Heavy Industries Building is still busy.

Everyone stood up and kept silent, looking at a note on the table. There was a sentence written in beautiful and lovely characters on the note.

This note was found by Eri's attending physician tonight. At six o'clock in the evening, the medical staff went to Eri's room as a routine to give her a physical examination and serum injection. After opening the security door, they found that the room was empty.

At that time, the medical staff thought that Eri was playing hide-and-seek with them, a game that Eri had played with them before. So they searched the room for Eri, but they couldn't find her after searching the entire room. In the end, they only found this note on the floor of the room.

The note was written in Eri's handwriting: "Sakura and I are going out to play and will be back in a few days."

At that time, Yuan Zhisheng was still receiving an IV in his room. With royal blood flowing in his body, his recovery ability was ten times that of an ordinary person, but after overusing the "royal power", he still needed to inject glucose and nutrients to help his body recover quickly, and he should stay in bed to rest.

But he had no time to rest. He was lying on the bed, and had just signed the documents related to the attacks on the eight Sheqi families in the morning when he received a report from Crow.

The head of the Uesugi family ran away from home.

Hearing this, Gen Chisei was stunned for a moment. At first he thought he had heard it wrong. After repeatedly confirming the message from Crow, he immediately pulled out the infusion needle on the back of his hand and hurried to Eri's room. As a result, he only got this note.

Gen Chisei was not worried that Eri would be kidnapped. There was no one in the world who could kidnap her. And from the handwriting on the note, he could tell that it was written to him by Eri herself and no one forced her.

Her fourteenth birthday was the first day that Eri had the idea of ​​running away from home. Since she turned fourteen, she would run away from home once or twice every year.

This was the seventh time that the head of the Uesugi family ran away from home, and this time she finally succeeded.

Because someone helped him.

The conference room was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly. Every executive bureau official present tried to suppress their breathing, fearing that if they breathed a little heavier, Yuan Zhisheng would notice and question them.

At this critical juncture, no one wants to be the first to run into this bad luck.

Gen Chisei's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, and his calm voice suppressed anger: "Let me ask again, do you really not know who the person named Sakura that Eri mentioned is?"

"We have investigated everyone in the company whose name contains 'Yakura'... and basically ruled out all suspicions..." Crow said cautiously.

"Basic?"

"…We can completely rule out all the employees with '樱' in their names as suspects."

Yasha lowered his head and said, "You should actually know that, except Miss Sakura, no one else has the authority to enter the 'ξ' room. But the problem is that the headquarters building was attacked today, and Miss Sakura has been with you all day today..."

"Of course I know." Yuan Zhisheng said, "So in order to avoid suspicion, I did not let Ying attend this meeting."

The crow and the yaksha glanced at each other quietly, revealing a tacit understanding.

This was truly an unexpected disaster. Everyone in the Executive Bureau knew how loyal Miss Sakura was to Yuan Zhisheng, and it was impossible for her to do such a thing as secretly abducting the eldest lady without telling the young master... Most importantly, Miss Sakura had absolutely no time.

Just as they said, Miss Sakura stayed with Yuan Zhisheng the whole day today. Yuan Zhisheng was lying on the bed, receiving an IV and reviewing documents, and she stood beside him as Yuan Zhisheng's assistant.

But just because Miss Sakura's name contained the word "Sakura", she was put in solitary confinement by the young master for no reason, and had to cooperate with the investigation of the executive bureau cadres.

However, Crow and Yaksha also knew that their young master was actually protecting Miss Sakura, because if the head of the family was allowed to handle the matter, Miss Sakura might not just be put in solitary confinement.

"Have you checked all the cameras near the company?" Yuan Zhisheng asked again.

"We checked the dashcams at the convenience store, the intersection, the police station, and all the vehicles parked next to the company... We didn't see Ms. Eri in any of the surveillance cameras," Yasha said.

"It's been six hours since we found out Eri ran away from home! She's never been away from home that long in her life!"

Yuan Zhisheng slowly clenched his fist, "Put all other matters on hold! Mobilize all manpower to investigate, check all the surveillance cameras at airports, train stations, ports, and subways ten times... Even if you have to uproot every building in Tokyo, you must bring Eri back to me!"

"Yes! The Executive Bureau will go all out! The officials from the two major branches in Kanto and Kansai have also joined the search!" Sakura stood up straight. "No! That's not enough! Check everyone in Kassel Academy as well. And offer a reward of 1 billion yen to all the major gangs in Tokyo, as long as they can provide accurate information about Eri! But if anyone harms Eri... his head will be worth 1 billion yen!"

"understand!"

"I know you're tired, and I'm tired, too,"

Yuan Zhisheng slowly leaned back in his chair, "But no one can rest until we find Eri. We must seize every minute and every second. I can only feel at ease when Eri returns to me sooner."

Yasha and Crow looked at each other and showed a tacit understanding expression again.

The two of them have never understood why Gen Chisheng has no interest in a sexy beauty like Sakura. From her face and personality to her efficiency, Sakura is first-rate, especially her seductive figure. If other bosses had such a beautiful female assistant, they would definitely pick her up.

It was not until today when I saw Gen Chisei getting anxious about Eri running away from home that I suddenly realized that the eldest brother is a sister-con.

"Do not worry!"

Yasha replied solemnly, "In this bustling Tokyo, it's too dangerous for a simple-minded Miss Eri to be with a man with a mysterious identity! We understand your feelings, Boss, and we won't give that man named 'Sakura' a chance! If we find out that he has touched Miss Eri even a finger, we will break his neck without hesitation!"

Yuan Zhisheng was helpless with his two simple-minded subordinates, who obviously did not understand what he was worried about.

The time when Eri ran away from home coincided with the time when the headquarters of Genji Heavy Industries and the other various industries of the Snake Eight Families were invaded...

Of course, Genji believed that this was just a coincidence. Because Genji Heavy Industries was invaded, the transformer box of the building and Kaguya's monitoring system were destroyed, giving Eri a perfect opportunity to run away from home, so she ran away from home at this time.

But there is another possibility: the invasion of the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building was just a cover-up. The enemy's initial goal was just to take Eri away.

Gen Chisei knew in his heart that Eri would not follow a stranger...but for some reason, his intuition was more inclined towards the latter possibility.

In Genji's heart, Eri has always been a well-behaved and lovely sister to him. But at the same time, he also knows that most of the people in the Snake Eight Clan only look at Eri as a peerless weapon.

They see Eri as their family's trump card... a sharp double-edged sword. Then their enemies may also see Eri as a sword that can be used and want to control her.

If the people who invaded Genji Heavy Industries were really the Demon Clan, and if they were the ones who took Eri away, then perhaps the entire Tokyo could be in danger. Eri has the power to destroy Tokyo.

Moreover, without the injection of serum, Eri's physical condition can only last for seven days...

The last time Eri was injected with serum was at 6 o'clock yesterday evening, and 30 hours have passed since then... They still have 138 hours, which is the deadline for them to find Eri.

He has always been a man with very accurate intuition, but this time, he hopes his intuition is not so accurate.

……

It wasn't just Gen Chisei who thought that Eri might have been abducted by a hostile force. There were others who shared the same idea as Gen Chisei.

The elevator stopped at the second underground floor of the San Palo International Hospital. Wearing a "King General" mask, Masamune Tachibana walked through the corridor where the experimental subjects were detained under the guidance of medical staff.

Every time he arrived at this underground hospital or underground laboratory, Masamune Tachibana would always be reminded of the good times he spent in the Black Swan Port in the Soviet Union many years ago.

He was like this at that time, living in such a small laboratory, with lovely children as his companions every day. Among those children, he liked a girl named Renata the most.

Like every man, he had a crush on a little girl from his neighbor's house when he was a teenager. The girl was small like Renata, but had a cute face with light freckles of puberty.

Whenever he saw Renata, he would think of his sentimental crush in his youth, which was why he was reluctant to perform pontine splitting surgery on Renata.

Like most teenagers, his secret love ended in vain. He confessed his love to the girl, but she rejected him. He was so angry that he killed her. He would not let anyone else get the girl he couldn't have.

But today he had no intention of reminiscing about these distant past events. The reason he came to this underground hospital was for just one thing.

Medical staff in white coats took Masamune Tachibana to an office. From the outside, this office looked very much like the doctor's clinic in a hospital.

The medical staff turned around and spoke under the mask: "Doctor Chen is waiting for you inside."

Tachibana Masamune nodded, looked at the snake ring and cross logo on the door, and took a deep breath.

Holy Palace Medical Society...

After a brief pause, Tachibana Masamune pushed the door open and closed it behind him.

Perhaps because Dr. Chen was the only one in the office, Dr. Chen, who usually wears a mask to cover himself, was not wearing a mask today, revealing his ordinary face.

Ordinary, this is how Masamune Tachibana described Dr. Chen's appearance.

It stands to reason that the higher the bloodline level, the more superior the appearance. Tachibana Masamune didn't know how high Dr. Chen's bloodline level was, but he conservatively estimated that it was at least A-level, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold a high position in the Holy Palace Medical Association.

But his face is really unremarkable, and anyone who sees it will feel ordinary. People's faces have more or less some memorable points, some people have big eyes, some people have big noses, and some people have nice ears...

But Dr. Chen’s face is so ordinary that there is nothing worth remembering. As soon as you leave the room, you will immediately forget what he looks like. Only when you see him again next time will you realize, “Oh, I remember he is Dr. Chen.”

But Tachibana Masamune knew that this man was far from being as ordinary as he looked... He was even one of the most vigilant people he had ever met in his life. In his mind, this man was no less dangerous than Angers, the principal of Kassel Academy.

Because, ever since he started working with the Holy Palace Medical Society decades ago... men have always looked like this.

It seemed as if time had never left the marks it should have on his face.
