Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 566 Two Evil People
It was now almost noon, and they were walking through the crowded traffic on the streets of Shinjuku, preparing to meet Aki and Zero.

A lot of things happened in one day. Lu Mingfei's side of things could not be explained in one phone call, and Yaji also had things to discuss in detail with Lu Mingfei. After a brief conversation, the two sides agreed to meet at a secret place this afternoon.

There were naturally some other things to be dealt with before the meeting. After confirming that Chen Wenwen was fine, Lu Mingfei first completed the discharge procedures for Chen Wenwen with the help of Jiude Mai.

The discharge process went smoothly. Jiude Mai and her colleagues were more professional than Lu Mingfei had imagined. They even checked Chen Wenwen's admission record from yesterday. After confirming that Chen Wenwen had passed the allergy screening, the hospital agreed to Chen Wenwen's discharge application.

Although Chen Wenwen said that it was okay for them to go back to the hotel by themselves and that Lu Mingfei could go about his own business, Lu Mingfei still sent them back to the hotel safely before leaving with Xia Mi and Eri.

Of course, Lu Mingfei also spent some time being intimate with several girlfriends before leaving.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Jiude Mai in the rearview mirror. She had been guarding Lu Mingfei in the hospital all day yesterday, so she probably didn't have time to put on makeup. The corners of her eyes were not covered with the enchanting and sharp eyeshadow as usual. Her bright eyes were less charming and looked a lot softer.

But the bright colors in her eyes remain the same, and her appearance is absolutely stunning even without makeup. It seems that the change in makeup does not affect her royal sister aura too much. However, it seems that her eyes and eyebrows are a bit similar to her younger sister Aki.

Perhaps because it was rush hour at noon, the horns outside the car window kept honking, and because he and Xia Mi were chatting quietly, Jiude Mai didn't seem to hear what he and Xia Mi were talking about.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual on Jiude Mai's face, Lu Mingfei slowly exhaled.

He could understand Xia Mi...and not just Xia Mi, he also had some disagreements on how to address Jiude Mai.

how to say?

In his previous life, he and Shude Mai did not have much interaction. They were just a gigolo employee of Takama-ga-hara and the female boss behind the scenes. They met a few times occasionally and he only needed to call her the female boss.

But things are different nowadays.

There is no longer a boss-employee relationship between him and Jude Mai. If you must say, he is only half of Jude Mai's boss now. Apart from the fact that Jude Mai helped him invade the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building as a mercenary yesterday, Jude Mai had at least been his personal female secretary for a day!
Although it was Lu Mingze who gave him the golden finger that time, allowing Lu Mingfei to be a business tycoon for a day.

He also saved Jiude Mai once, when he and Xia Mi entered Odin's Nibelungen and rescued the seriously injured Jiude Mai from Nibelungen, and the three of them lived together for a while. Lu Mingfei didn't take it to heart, but maybe Jiude Mai might care about it.

Later, she helped him many times, and Lu Mingfei felt that this was probably the reason.

In addition, he has many interactions with Jude Mai.

When he pretended to be the boyfriend of the little angel to attend the dinner, Mai Shude brought another female boss of Takamagahara to give him enough face;
When Portugal was involved in the mixed-race incident, Mai Jiude and Ling rescued Charlotte from Father Bernardo and helped Lu Mingfei uncover Father Bernardo's conspiracy.

And yesterday's mission to sneak into the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building was also because Jude Mai helped him clear the way, so that he could successfully enter Kaguya's computer room and bring Eri out by accident.

Oh yes, there is one more thing that I have to mention: Lu Mingfei’s first kiss in both of his lives was taken away by Jiude Mai.

As the number of intersections increases, the titles can no longer be simply "you" and "me".

In addition, the relationship between the two people is somewhat complicated, so Lu Mingfei is wavering on the issue of "how to call Jiude Mai".

Calling her Jude Mai makes the relationship feel too distant; calling her Senior Sister…she is not his Senior Sister; calling her by her first name Mai? But it feels too intimate. Usually in anime, only boyfriends and girlfriends call each other by their first names.

Huh?
Lu Mingfei seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Xia Mi beside him.

He remembered that when his first kiss was taken away by Jude Mai, Xia Mi seemed to have witnessed it with her own eyes?
Could it be because of this incident... that Junior Sister treats Mai badly and is unwilling to call her sister?

As for Xia Mi's question just now, why Lu Mingfei wanted to deliberately hide from Jiude Mai that they were actually going to meet up with Aki and Ling...

“I don’t know what to say either.” Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

Xia Mi blinked her eyes: "Jiude Mai and Senior Sister Aki are sisters? Senior Brother, do you want them to meet?"

"Well... about the same?" Lu Mingfei replied.

He was telling the truth, he really didn't understand. What was the purpose of his doing this. People are always like this, as soon as an idea flashes in their minds, they have the idea of ​​doing something.

There is an idiom that can describe this situation of "wanting to do something for no reason".

A sudden whim.

Lu Mingfei suddenly recalled what Aki had said to him.

When the two of them were carrying out a diving mission in the cave under the Three Gorges, Yaji mentioned to Lu Mingfei that she actually had an older sister, and they lived together until she was 5 years old.

As for what happened to the two of them after they were 5 years old, Aki did not tell him.

But Lu Mingfei thought of Aki's previous life who died in the mission of the Three Gorges. In the end, he didn't know whether the two sisters met each other later...

The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right. Now that Mai Jude and Senior Sister Aki are both in Japan, he suddenly had the idea that "maybe I can create an opportunity for the two of them to meet."

This may seem a bit nosy or something. But as Masashi Toyama said, human memory is ultimately an unreliable hard drive, and it will always forget this and that. Recalling over and over again is equivalent to reading the hard drive over and over again, but no matter how good the quality of the hard drive is, it will always have a lifespan.

Even if you number each memory on your hard drive, keep organizing and backing it up in fixed folders, the memory will gradually become blurred as you read it over and over again, and eventually the file will be lost and the hard drive will have bad sectors. You can only save it again to ensure that the memory is deep and clear.

There aren't many things worth remembering in a person's life... Lu Mingfei didn't want the memories that the two of them could hold on to be nothing more than a fuzzy and damaged file.

With a "bang", a simulated explosion sound came from the speaker of the mobile phone, bringing Lu Mingfei back to consciousness.

Lu Mingfei turned his head, and Eri put down her phone and wrote on the notebook for Lu Mingfei to see: "Another fatal accident."

Just now, Eri had been playing the Snake game on her Nokia N73 beside Lu Mingfei. Mobile games were not very developed at that time. Besides the black-and-white Snake, there was only Tetris on the phone. But Eri was still playing very enthusiastically. This underworld princess who seemed to have everything was much less materialistic than expected. This was probably because she had been playing games alone since she was a child.

Lu Mingfei estimated that even if he gave Eri a deck of playing cards, she would still be able to enjoy playing with the tractor by herself.

"It's okay, Eri is already very good." Lu Mingfei also wrote in his notebook to reply. Eri probably had never played this game before, and didn't know that Snake has only one ending, GAME OVER.

At this time, a beeping notification sounded, indicating a new text message had come in. Eiry was very sensible and took the initiative to hand the phone to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei clicked on the text message. It was a Morse code message from Aki, which translated to "We have arrived at the agreed location."

Lu Mingfei immediately replied to her with the same code: "We will arrive on time."

……

"We're here." Zero said suddenly.

Aki subconsciously looked out the window when she heard that. She and Ling were currently sitting in a private room of a comic book cafe, which was also the meeting place they had agreed to meet with Lu Mingfei.

This comic cafe is located in Ikebukuro. The road next to it is full of kbooks specializing in anime-related products, so this comic cafe on the second floor of a small building is not very conspicuous.

This is also one of the principles of Kassel Academy in setting up safe houses. If you want to hide a leaf, the best place is in the woods. Only an inconspicuous safe house can be considered safe.

Through the half-open white blinds, Aki saw the license plate number of the white Accord parked downstairs. She opened her cell phone and found that it matched the license plate number that Lu Mingfei had told her in the text message.

But out of caution, Yaji continued to wait for a while. It was not until she saw the back door of the car being pushed open and Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei jumped out of the car that Yaji felt relieved.

"Yes, it's Junior Brother Lu and the others."

Aki nodded and looked up at Ling: "Then I'll ask you to stay here and wait for Junior Brother Lu and the others to come up. I'll go get the information first."

Ling nodded, Aki pushed the door open and walked out, closing the door without making any sound, her movements were light and quick.

She did not keep the important information she had recorded yesterday when she dived into Tokyo's waters. The safe house had a hidden safe specially set up by the academy.

Once a mission specialist encounters a situation where they need to use a safe house during a mission, they need to store important information in a safe and not take it out unless necessary. This is also one of the compliance items written in the mission manual of the execution department.

There are many such compliance items in the Executive Department’s mission manual. They may seem redundant, but behind each item or clause is a bloody lesson.

As mentioned above, the reason for doing this is to enable the specialist to take emergency precautions as soon as possible when encountering an emergency, without having to worry about the information and being unable to take care of everything.

After all, once the commissioner has fallen to the point where he needs to activate a safe house, it means he is already in a very dangerous situation.

But just as Aki left the box, Zero saw Shude Mai walking down from the driver's seat.

"..."

Zero's eyes flickered, as if he was a little surprised.

If Mai knew Aki was here, she definitely wouldn't have come.

It’s easy to guess that this was probably Lu Mingfei’s doing... Did he want Mai to meet her sister?
Zero blinked expressionlessly. Logically, she should send a message to Shude Mai, reminding her that Shude Aki was also here.

But after a brief thought, she did not do so. Instead, she withdrew her gaze from the window as if nothing had happened and began to turn the page of the comic book in front of her.

Judging people by their appearance has always been a bad habit, but most people seem unable to avoid this bad habit.

When you see a girl who looks cute, you will subconsciously think that she must also have a cute personality;
When you see someone who looks honest, you will also think that he is honest and decent.

But appearances can be deceiving, just like the impression the nurses had of the little girl named Renata a long time ago.

Just looking at her well-behaved and cute appearance, everyone thinks she is the most obedient child in the entire Black Swan Harbor.

In fact, the nurses didn't know that Renata was a girl who liked to play pranks. At that time, there was a boy named Yakov living next to her room. She always liked to lie on the small window of an iron door to look inside him, pick up a piece of peeling wall and throw it in to hit him.

Because Yakov had undergone surgery, when he was disturbed by the outside world while sleeping, he would first open his eyes and slowly scan the entire room. After confirming that there was no danger, he would close his eyes again.

This characteristic of scanning the surroundings during sleep is like that of a lizard. When a lizard is asleep and senses a change in the wind around it, it does not wake up immediately, but a part of its nervous system wakes up first to check the surroundings, and if there is no problem, it continues to sleep.

The little girl named Renata knew that he would not wake up, so she was just hitting him for fun, out of boredom and having fun. The nurses didn't know that Renata had already figured out their pattern of behavior and knew that they would not make rounds after midnight.

When the nurses were drinking and playing cards in the duty room at midnight, Renata would sneak out of the room and do whatever she wanted. She patrolled the floors like a little queen patrolling her territory, wandering around the tool room and the equipment room, throwing wall paint to tease the sleeping children, and then blowing warm air at the air outlet of the heating pipe.

The nurses had no idea that she was such a vicious person behind the scenes.

Just like Zero now, she knew she should warn Mai.

But she was also as curious as Lu Mingfei about what expression Mai would have when she met her sister.
