The little boy and the men in black were startled by the sound. Ayaka Haruhara used her peripheral vision to see the person who had come. He was a tall figure, at least 1.5 meters tall, wearing shorts and a vest, flip-flops, and carrying a large bucket of fish, looking like a fisherman by the sea.
"Stranger, mind your own business. It's not good for you."
The little boy pulled a pistol from his waist and pointed it at the newcomer.
The newcomer took a few more steps in this direction, and only then could Ayaka Haruhara see his face clearly, which was hidden in the shadows. He was a handsome young man, as radiant as sunshine, with a chiseled face, muscular body, and a strong physique that gave people an indescribable sense of security.
"Step back, we're after money, we don't want to kill people indiscriminately," the little boy said.
The tall young man was Li Wei, who had been waiting there for a long time. He was already used to acting with himself, so he appeared calm and composed.
Li Wei said, "Are you pointing a gun at me? This little toy?"
The little boy, sweat beading on his forehead, quickly attached a silencer to the pistol.
Li Wei's expression turned cold, and he said, "I hate being held at gunpoint the most. So far, no one who has held a gun to me has survived."
Li Wei's face broke into a beastly smile, and he exuded a terrifying aura, assuming a fighting stance that Haruhara Ayaka couldn't understand.
Sunohara Ayaka's heart was in her throat. The person in front of her was her savior, but the opponent was unarmed against a gunman, which was a huge disadvantage for her.
Chapter 1. Aftermath
Just as the little boy was about to pull the trigger, Li Wei's figure disappeared from where he stood and appeared behind the little boy, grabbing his hand that was holding the gun.
“It’s dangerous for kids to play with guns,” Li Wei said gently.
"When? Ahhh! My hand!" The little boy let out a shrill scream. Ayaka Haruhara saw a scene that shocked her. The little boy's hand and the gun were crushed to pieces by Li Wei. She could even clearly see that the little boy's shattered hand bones were mixed with gun parts and could not be separated at all.
"Go get him!" The little boy let out a shrill scream. Of course, this was all Li Wei's acting. The puppet clone had almost no pain sensation, so if he didn't act it out, it would be easy to be exposed.
The men in black, armed with various weapons, surrounded Li Wei. However, an even more brutal scene unfolded. Li Wei grabbed the little boy's leg, lifted him upside down, and began to swing him like a meteor hammer, instantly knocking down all the men in black who were attacking him.
Due to her limited perspective, Ayaka Haruhara couldn't see exactly what had happened, but the sickening sound of bones cracking told her that those men in black were finished.
After a short while, the sound of the one-sided beating stopped, and the men in black became completely still.
Li Wei pretended to clean up the mess, dragging the men in black together and piling them into a human pile. The little boy puppet, whose body was severely fractured and no longer human, was placed on top of Li Wei like a cherry on a cherry cake.
"Tsk, I didn't expect I had such a talent for performance art," Li Wei laughed.
Li Wei walked towards the van and saw Haruhara Ayaka lying slumped under the seat like a lump of mud. He looked surprised and said, "Kidnapping?"
Ayaka Haruhara looked at Li Wei with pleading eyes. All she could do now was pray that he wouldn't hurt her. If even Li Wei harbored ill intentions, then she was truly doomed.
Li Wei crouched down, looked at Haruhara Ayaka, and said, "Were you kidnapped? Blink if you are."
Ayaka Haruhara blinked quickly.
Li Wei said, "Well, it seems I've unintentionally done a good deed again, even though those bastards provoked me first. As for you, I'll help you get home, but I need to dispose of the body now. Japan almost never carries out the death penalty, so even if these bastards go in for a few years, they'll come out the same as before. So I'm just sending them to see Buddha. I hope they can be good people in their next life."
Li Wei carried Haruhara Ayaka out of the car and led her to the camping tent he had prepared beforehand. The temperature inside the tent was pleasant, without any of the chill of the seaside. Haruhara Ayaka saw the fishing platform and lounge chairs not far away, and it was clear that Li Wei was someone who enjoyed life.
Li Wei placed Haruhara Ayaka on the folding bed inside the tent and said, "Judging from your appearance, you're probably under the influence of anesthesia. Rest for a while. I'll stay with you until you recover, then I'll take you home. I hope you can keep what happened here a secret, okay? Blink if you agree."
Haruhara Ayaka blinked quickly, looking closely at Li Wei. Only then did she realize that Li Wei was an unrealistically handsome man. The most exaggerated thing was not his appearance, but that he was really good at fighting. He could fight multiple enemies with his bare hands and defeat them all. Having practiced Aikido, she was no novice in combat, so she knew how amazing the strength Li Wei had just displayed was.
Li Wei laughed and said, "Very good, this place is safe. I've set up defensive traps around here to prevent anyone from disturbing my fishing and resting. You wait here for a moment, I'll go clean up the mess first. Although it's all trash, if we don't deal with it properly, the police will still come knocking on our door. After all, someone died, didn't they?"
For the first time, Ayaka Haruhara felt that death was actually a good thing. She would never have thought this way before, but after experiencing such a change, she understood something: the world is not entirely beautiful. There is filth and dirt hidden in places she cannot see. If she is still as naive as before, she may suffer a great loss in the future.
She was lucky this time, saved by a kind-hearted fisherman just as she was about to be transported away. But what about next time? What will she do if she encounters a similar situation again?
Becoming stronger is something that can't be done in a short time. After all, improving one's martial arts skills is not something that can be done overnight; it requires years of hard training. She had only practiced Aikido for two years, which was enough to deal with ordinary people, but she was still vulnerable when she was ambushed. Just like this time, she suffered the consequences.
In the short term, the only thing she can improve is her own vigilance. Because she had never experienced the harsh realities of society, she was severely lacking in the ability to guard against others. This experience has been a good lesson for her. Excessive sympathy can bring disaster. If it happens again, she will absolutely never lead the other party around.
Haruhara Ayaka calculated her perceived time, and about half an hour later, Li Wei returned.
At this moment, Haruhara Ayaka had regained some sensation in her body. When she saw Li Wei enter the tent, she quickly supported herself and sat up. Of course, she could only sit up with difficulty at this point, as her legs had not fully regained sensation and she could not move them.
Li Wei said, "Oh, it seems the effects of the anesthetic are gradually wearing off. I've taken care of the people who kidnapped you. I found some small items that can prove their identities. They're from Southeast Asia. Human traffickers from there love to cross borders. Every year, many of the missing persons around the world are related to these monkeys."
"Thank you," Ayaka Haruhara said with some difficulty. The anesthetic made it difficult for her to control her mouth, so speaking was still a little challenging.
Li Wei said, "The anesthetic on these damn monkeys is quite potent; it lasts for such a long time. You should rest for a while, and I'll take you home once you've recovered enough."
Ayaka Haruhara nodded and said nothing more. She was speaking in a stuttering manner and couldn't communicate fluently at all.
Li Wei said, "I'll go pack my fishing gear. You stay here. If you get hungry, there's food in the bag over there. Oh, by the way, this should be yours, but it's a pity it got damaged."
Li Wei pulled out a smartphone with a smashed screen from his pocket. The phone was bright yellow and pink, quite girly, and you could tell at a glance that its owner was a girl.
Ayaka Haruhara took the phone and nodded. In her opinion, the phone was a minor matter; the most important thing was that everyone was safe.
Chapter 1. Returning to Chunyuan Manor
After a while, Ayaka Haruhara finally regained full control of her body. She struggled to her feet, and although her senses were still somewhat dulled, it no longer had a significant impact on her well-being.
Ayaka Haruhara said, "Thank you for saving me. I don't even know your name yet. I want to thank you."
Ayaka Haruhara was truly grateful to Li Wei; if it weren't for Li Wei's timely appearance, her life would have been over.
Li Wei said, "My name is Li Wei, I am a Chinese, and I am currently living in Japan."
Looking at Li Wei's face, Haruhara Ayaka felt a little excited. If Li Wei was living in Japan, then they should have a chance to meet in the future.
Haruhara Ayaka said, "My name is Haruhara Ayaka, and I'm just an ordinary Japanese girl. Oh, by the way, Li Weijun, could I borrow your phone for a moment? I need to call and let you know I'm safe."
Li Wei nodded and took out his phone. He had prepared everything he needed in the past few days, and naturally, he wouldn't forget a modern essential like a phone.
After thanking her, Ayaka Haruhara took the unlocked phone, quickly pressed the virtual keypad, and dialed a number.
(Hey, Yuzu, are you home yet?)
(I'm home, Ayaka-nee? You changed your code?)
On the other end of the phone was Yuzu Yukimoto, one of the three tenants of Chunyuanzhuang.
(No, my phone is broken, I'm using someone else's phone to call back.)
(Phew, we couldn't get through to you on your phone, Ayaka. We were so worried about you. It's good that you're alright.)
(I'm fine. Although I had a minor accident, it's all over now.)
Ayaka Haruhara didn't want Yuzu Yukimoto and the others to worry about her, so she didn't tell the truth; it was a white lie. She'll just remember this lesson herself.
(When will you be back? We've already prepared dinner.)
(You guys eat first, don't worry about me, I won't be back for a while.)
After chatting for a few more minutes, Ayaka Haruhara hung up the phone, relieved that the girls were alright.
Li Wei said, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."
Ayaka Haruhara didn't refuse Li Wei's help. She assisted him in packing up the tent and other camping equipment, placing them on the back of the pickup truck, and the two got in. After learning the name of Haruhara-sou, Li Wei simply dialed a navigation button on his phone and drove the pickup truck away from the beach.
When the two arrived at Sunohara-sou, it was already past midnight. The little boy puppet had led Sunohara Ayaka across the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, to the border between Ota Ward and Kanagawa Prefecture. Even the so-called secret port was something Li Wei had built himself.
It takes a certain amount of time to drive back to Haruhara-so in Toshima Ward from here.
The pickup truck stopped outside the gate of Chunyuan Manor. Under Chunyuan Ayaka's direction, Li Wei parked the truck in the courtyard on the side of Chunyuan Manor. It had been a long time since anyone had parked there, so Li Wei was one of the few guests at Chunyuan Manor.
Li Wei turned the key and turned off the pickup truck's engine, saying, "You're home. You're safe now. Although I don't know what you went through, girls always need to be careful when they're out and about."
Haruhara Ayaka nodded and said, "I know, Li Weijun. It's already so late. Come in and sit down. You haven't even had dinner yet because you've been busy with my business."
Just then, Li Wei's stomach rumbled.
Li Wei said, "Okay, thank you then."
Li Wei can control his body to do all sorts of incredible things; making himself sound hungry is no challenge for him at all.
Ayaka Haruhara was overjoyed. Although it was their first time meeting, she felt an extraordinary fondness for Li Wei. Now that he was willing to visit Haruhara Manor, she felt her heart soaring. In her more than ten years of life, she had never felt such a flutter in her heart. Although she didn't know Li Wei very well, she believed he couldn't be a bad person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to save her, let alone go to the trouble of taking her home. Looking at Li Wei's professional fishing gear and tent, she guessed that if it weren't for her, Li Wei would have been fishing there all along and camping overnight in the tent by the shore.
The two got out of the car. Li Wei walked to the trunk and took out the fish bucket he used to hold the fish. The fish inside were dying because they hadn't been given enough oxygen.
Li Wei said, "What a pity. I was planning to bake it this afternoon, but now I can only use it to make soup."
Looking at the bucket full of seafood, Ayaka Haruhara said, "I'm quite confident in my seafood soup. Although it's not very fresh and can't be used for sashimi, it doesn't matter if it's for soup."
Li Wei said, "We should also eat less sashimi of sea fish, as parasitic diseases are a real problem."
Ayaka Haruhara looked surprised and said, "Isn't it said that sea fish don't have parasites and can be eaten without worry?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "Any doctor would refute that. The reason why doctors rarely eat sashimi is because there are considerable risks involved. In Japan, nearly three thousand people are hospitalized every year due to parasitic diseases caused by eating seafood sashimi, and nearly two hundred people die from parasites every year. It's not worth risking your life for the sake of your appetite."
Haruhara Ayaka covered her mouth, surprised, and said, "Oh, I see. Then I won't eat sashimi anymore. I'll have to tell everyone around me too. Li Weijun, are you a doctor?"
Li Wei said, "I guess so, but I only have a medical license. I'm too lazy to register, so I don't have the right to practice medicine in Japan for the time being."
Li Wei picked up the bucket containing the sea fish and followed behind Sunohara Ayaka.
Haruhara Ayaka turned to look at Li Wei and said, "Li Wei-kun, your skills are professional-level. Are all doctors this good at fighting these days?"
Li Wei said, "In Chong Kingdom, medicine and martial arts have always been intertwined, and there are many doctors who are skilled in combat. After all, without some skill, it is easy to run into trouble or even lose one's life when encountering malicious medical disputes."
When people go to extremes, they often do irrational things, and not every medical dispute is justified. In Li Wei's understanding, the two most powerful departments are orthopedic surgeons, whose strength is enough to wield a sledgehammer, and psychiatrists in mental hospitals—without considerable strength, you can't subdue a mental patient. Of course, the strongest overall combat capability is still surgery; after all, they make a living with knives. Stabbing someone a dozen times is considered a minor injury on medical examination, which is child's play for a skilled surgeon.
Ayaka Haruhara looked at Li Wei with a gleam in her eyes. In Japan, lawyers, doctors, and senior managers in financial companies are considered among the most successful people in life. She sensed that Li Wei was no ordinary person.
Chapter 4. The Burning Underground World
Ayaka Haruhara unlocked the door with her key. The house was brightly lit. She led Li Wei inside and took the bucket of fish. Ayaka was quite strong; carrying the fish didn't seem to put much pressure on her, and she appeared to do it with ease. However, in the story, Ayaka had demonstrated her superhuman physical abilities, which most people didn't possess. And with such abilities, her strength wouldn't be weak either.
The three girls heard the door open and ran over, bumping right into the two people in the entryway.
Yuzu Yukimoto looked at Li Wei, and because she was so surprised, she opened her mouth wide and said, "Sister Ayaka, who is this?"
