Lin Shen pushed open the door; he had already changed back into the clothes he had worn before leaving.

He let out a long sigh, his expression showing some disappointment.

After all, he thought he could turn the US military base upside down on this trip.

But little did they expect that they had underestimated the combat power of the US military base!

Of course, most importantly, the internal firepower was even stronger than he had imagined, and it was on par with his own!

He had always relied on overwhelming his opponents with firepower.

However, if you can't gain an advantage in firepower, it will be more difficult to fight!

Not to mention the enemy also has tanks, planes, and artillery!

However, none of these are problems!!

Lin Shen glanced at the Grand Theft Auto system panel.

You can still redeem those airplanes and tanks using points.

I've just been used to using cheat codes to get things for free, so I've always overlooked their existence!

Current points: 1888 million.

[Redeeming a basic fighter jet requires 10 points.]

[Redeem the first-ever fighter jet requires 50 points.]

"Huh? When did I accumulate so many points?" Lin Shen was somewhat surprised!

After getting used to using cheat codes to redeem weapons, he stopped paying attention to internal system messages.

I had no idea I had accumulated so many points.

With 1888 million points, you could even exchange them for a missile!

If I had known I'd accumulated so many points, I would have just gone and slept with that bastard!

He sighed with regret, feeling it was a great pity that he hadn't been able to display his full power.

But thinking about it carefully, there's still time tomorrow!

I'll go again tomorrow; I'm determined to get my revenge!

As he spoke, Lin Shen heard a voice: "You're back?"

Lin Shen turned his head and saw that Eri Kisaki had already woken up.

She was wearing a loose bathrobe, her hair was down, and she was holding a cup of hot water. She looked incredibly alert.

Breaking news is playing on the television screen.

The footage shows aerial views of a US military base, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing out. A dozen military vehicles are arranged in a circle around the flames, while helicopters circle overhead.

The U.S. spokesperson is speaking on camera, while the caption at the bottom of the screen reads: "A massive explosion has occurred at Kadena Air Base; the cause is still under investigation..."

When Eri saw him enter, she didn't get up. Instead, she slowly turned her head, her gaze filled with a strange suspicion, and asked softly, "Did you do this?"

Lin Shen glanced at the TV screen, then at her, somewhat surprised: "The news's out so quickly?"

He walked to the bedside and sat down, saying, "But they definitely won't be able to trace it back to you, don't worry."

Eri Kisaki didn't say anything, but simply reached out and pulled open the collar of his already incomplete clothes.

Under the light, he had several abrasions on his chest and shoulders, the skin was broken and bleeding, and there was a bruise on his abdomen, the color of which was dark purple, from when he fell off the Hummer!

The edges of the wound were still covered with fine grit, making it look rather gruesome.

Lin Shen could leave his injuries unrecovered to avoid alerting Vermouth to anything amiss.

Eri Kisaki frowned, her tone tinged with displeasure: "Are you crazy? You dare to go to a place like this?"

"Aren't you afraid of dying there?"

Lin Shen glanced at her and smiled, "What are you afraid of? I have to do it no matter how dangerous it is to avenge you."

Eri Kisaki was taken aback: "To avenge me?"

Lin Shen nodded, his tone matter-of-fact: "You're one of my people. If I can't even protect you, what's the point of being a boss?"

Eri looked at him, her gaze subtly changing.

She didn't speak, but remained silent for two seconds. Then, she suddenly reached out, hooked her arm around Lin Shen's neck, pulled him towards her, and kissed him.

Lin Shen was momentarily surprised when she kissed him.

But he quickly realized what was happening and, instead of pushing her away, calmly replied, "I'm going to take a shower. I just came back from outside, I'm covered in dirt and sweat."

Eri Kisaki did not back down.

She moved even closer, her breath becoming warm: "No need to wash. I like this smell."

Lin Shen narrowed his eyes upon hearing this: "I didn't know you liked this kind of thing?"

Eri Kisaki didn't answer, but kissed him again, her movements urgent, as if something that had been suppressed for too long had finally found an outlet.

Lin Shen was pushed backward onto the bed by her, and he simply let go and lay there letting her do whatever she wanted.

He could tell that Eri Kisaki was very proactive and had a strong personality.

Always take the initiative in everything!

Eri Kisaki leaned down, propping herself up on the headboard with one hand, looking down at him.

Her face was slightly flushed, and her breathing was visibly erratic, but her eyes held a defiant stubbornness: "From now on... don't look at me like that pitying woman."

Lin Shen raised both hands: "I'm useless."

Eri snorted, then reached out and covered the other person's eyes to prevent them from looking around!

Now that she's made up her mind, she definitely won't regret it.

Just like how I left home years ago and haven't gone back since!

Eri Kisaki felt that Ran was already an adult, and there was no need for her to maintain this marriage in name only.

She wants to make up for everything she's lost over the years!

----------

When Xiaolan woke up, it was just dawn.

She stretched out a big yawn, looking incredibly energetic.

She turned her head and glanced to the side. Eri Kisaki was still lying there, wrapped tightly in the blanket, with only half of her head sticking out.

Xiaolan called softly, "Mom, get up, let's go watch the sunrise!"

Eri Kisaki remained silent.

Xiaolan called out again, "Mom!"

Eri Kisaki groggily turned over, her eyes still closed, her voice heavy with sleepiness: "...I'm not going...I'm too tired...You go by yourself..."

Xiaolan was taken aback: "Didn't we say we were going to watch the sunrise last night?"

Eri Kisaki mumbled a reply, "I didn't fall asleep until after 4 a.m. last night... I can't get up. You guys go ahead..."

Ran wanted to say something more, but seeing that Eri looked completely unresponsive, she had no choice but to give up.

She glanced at her phone; it was only a little past five.

She found it a little strange; her mother usually didn't sleep this much.

But she didn't think about it anymore. Her mother said she was sleepy, so she let her sleep well.

Xiaolan got out of bed by herself, went to the bathroom to wash her face, changed her clothes, and tied her hair into a ponytail.

After she finished tidying up, she picked up her phone and called Kogoro Mouri first.

beep - beep - beep -

No one answered.

She typed it again.

Still no one answered.

Xiaolan sighed, but wasn't surprised: "Dad, really..."

Unable to get through to her father, she found Lin Shen's number and dialed it.

After two rings, the call connected: "Hello, Xiaolan?"

Xiao Lan quickly said, "President Lin, good morning! Are you awake now?"

The voice on the other end of the phone didn't sound sleepy at all; on the contrary, it was very alert: "I've been awake for a while now."

Xiaolan said, "I want to see the sunrise, but my mom said she's too tired to go, and I can't get through to my dad on the phone... Would it be convenient for you to come along?"

A laugh came from Lin Shen's end, and he answered readily, "Sure, I was just thinking of going for a walk on the beach too. See you downstairs in half an hour?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan happily replied, "Okay! See you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiaolan tidied up her belongings to make sure nothing was left behind, then gently closed the door and went downstairs.

When they arrived downstairs, Lin Shen was already waiting at the lobby entrance.

He changed into a clean white T-shirt, with a light-colored thin jacket over it. His hair was a little wet, as if he had just washed his face.

He looked refreshed and energetic, not at all like someone who had been fooling around last night.

Xiao Lan walked over quickly: "Good morning, President Lin!"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "Good morning. Where's your mother?"

Xiaolan smiled helplessly: "She said she's too tired and is still sleeping."

Lin Shen nodded, his face expressionless. "That's true. She had a tough time last night too."

Xiaolan didn't think much of it and said, "Yeah, you must be tired after shopping all day."

"Let's go! I heard this beach has a really good spot for watching the sunrise!"

The two left the hotel and walked along the path towards the beach.

The sea breeze was cool in the early morning and carried a salty smell.

There weren't many people on the road, with only the occasional tourist who had also gotten up early to watch the sunrise slowly walking by.

After walking for a while, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh, "It's so quiet... completely different from yesterday."

Lin Shen walked beside him, hands in his pockets: "It's like this every morning. Few people, quiet."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "It's nice to be quiet like this sometimes."

The two walked to the beach and found a clean sandy spot to sit down.

The sky in the distance was beginning to turn red, and the clouds were tinged with a pale gold.

The sea was calm, with only a thin layer of white waves gently churning.

Xiaolan looked into the distance, her eyes filled with anticipation: "It's so beautiful! I feel like it's worth seeing a view like this even once in a lifetime."

Lin Shen also looked at the sea without saying a word, but you could tell he was quite relaxed.

After a while, the sun slowly rose above the horizon.

It started as a red edge, then grew brighter and bigger, until it finally leaped out of the water and illuminated the entire sea.

Neither of them spoke, and they sat quietly on the beach.

Seagulls flew by in the distance, making clear, crisp calls.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting Xiaolan's bangs.

As she looked at the sun, she felt that just seeing this sunrise made the entire trip to Okinawa worthwhile!
