I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

Li Xuan wanted to call Yang Nai back, but Yang Nai yawned, looking very sleepy, and said, "Is there anything else? I've been running around all day, and I'm really sleepy now."

After much deliberation, Li Xuan took out a ring from his pocket.

There is only one.

After all, it was a ring named "Fireworks" that was purchased with an overdraft from his salary. Of course, this ring was not used for an engagement; Li Xuan just felt that he should give it to Yang Nai as a reward.

"This gift is for you," Li Xuan said somewhat awkwardly.

Yang Nai's expression changed when she saw it was a ring. She stared at him blankly for a moment and asked, "You gave me this...?"

"As a return gift for the sunglasses."

Li Xuan handed it over with one hand and told her.

Yang Nai took it, glanced at it, and for some reason, her expression turned very sad.

"Is there a problem?" Li Xuan asked, puzzled.

"No."

Yang put the ring in his pocket and said with a smile.

Li Xuan turned around, preparing to leave, and said, "See you tomorrow then..."

"Ah Xuan, wait a moment."

Yang suddenly spoke from behind.

Li Xuan was taken aback and turned around to look.

As a result, Yang Nai embraced Li Xuan.

"Good night......"

After the light kiss, the girl whispered a reluctant word in his ear.

Li Xuan was a little confused and looked at the young lady in astonishment.

Caught off guard.

But Yang Nai just smiled and looked at him.

She gently pushed him with her hand, her eyes quietly following him as she led him... to where he wanted to go.

The next morning, when Li Xuan went to knock on Yang Nai's door again, he found that the door was unlocked.

He went inside, but he didn't see Yang Nai or her luggage...

As a result, when Li Xuan asked at the hotel front desk, he learned that Miss Yang Nai had checked out late last night and had already left the hotel.

There was not a single letter, not a single word of farewell beforehand.

That girl completely disappeared from Li Xuan's sight that day...

Chapter 130 The Girl Who Continued to Make Mistakes

It was late at night.

Li Xuan returned to his residence alone.

Blackness enveloped Li Xuan, who stood alone.

However, from beginning to end, he did not show any sadness or regret, and appeared very calm.

There exists a smart girl in this world who would risk everything for you, and there also exists a girl who would choose to leave at a crucial moment.

Li Xuan returned to the house and entered Yang Nai's room for the first time.

As a result, Yang Nai's room was tidied up neatly, looking nothing like a short trip, but rather like a long journey. Only in the clean and tidy room, there was a white envelope on the desk.

The envelope was placed on the table, which Yang Nai deliberately put in the most conspicuous position, because she guessed that Li Xuan would definitely come back and find this place.

In the dim light, Li Xuan stood by the window, deciphering the message Yang Nai had left for him.

—[Xuanjun, before I began writing, I considered whether I should write you a love letter first. But, I'm sorry, this is a farewell letter. You must be very angry... but I don't think you'll be; that's just how you are. I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't bring myself to say "goodbye" to you, because that word is taboo.]

The night before last, Yang Nai sat at her desk, writing this unique love letter, listening to the howling of the wind and snow...

—[Actually, I've been in contact with your father. I'm sorry for keeping everything about the Ashikawa Group from you; it was an agreement between me and the old man. He didn't want you to know what's happening now. The situation is extremely critical now. The Ashikawa Group is on the verge of extinction in order to protect Kohina. The clippings from the newspapers have already told me many secrets hidden behind the scenes.]

At the airport, Yang Nai, dragging her luggage, saw the huge passenger plane she had asked to wait for had already entered the arrival area, and the check-in process had begun, as seen in the glass exhibition hall.

—[I still want to hide these things from you. I'm not great. I've been terrified lately, and I desperately want to grab your hand and have you take me away, to a place where no one can find me... I always feel that if I continue to hide it, you'll never be able to forgive or let go of yourself... That's just how you are. ...But you are ultimately the proud Ashikawa War Demon, you never betray anyone, especially yourself...]

—【I've reached an agreement with my parents. I'm leaving Japan to study in England. The only thing I can do to help you is get you released on bail. Now I must leave so you can have peace of mind. It's okay, choose to do what you should do. Even if others can't understand you, can't forgive you, and you eventually become a legendary villain, I will stay here, waiting for you, and guiding you on your path. —Yukinoshita Haruno】

Snowflakes were falling from the sky. At the airplane entrance, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly turned her head and glanced at it.

In a daze, she heard that person call her name.

Looking back, she even saw that arrogant, upright young man who liked to wear white clothes in the airport.

In the end, only the sound of the wind blowing remained...

Yang was urged on by the tourists queuing behind her, so she had no choice but to step onto the plane.

Yang Nai sat by the window, her delicate eyes staring through the window at the vast white expanse of the airport, where nothing could be seen.

Those who leave carry a much heavier burden than those who stay.

Li Xuan knew this feeling all too well.

Yang has already helped him remove the last shackle.

The reason why Yukinoshita's mother talked to him so much was probably because Haruno had come to this point, so she asked her to test Li Xuan's feelings.

Li Xuan glanced at the newspaper information Yang Nai had left him. The Ashikawa Group's stores had been sealed off and its accounts frozen by the government. They had even raided the Ashikawa Group's headquarters. The old man had been arrested by the police, and only the young master and a few others escaped. They were wanted throughout Japan.

After losing contact, the Ashikawa group risked everything to protect his sister, even squandering their entire fortune on the government...

into the night.

Inside the sealed-off clubhouse, Li Xuan evaded the police checkpoints and returned to the organization's headquarters, which he had visited just over ten days prior.

The once-prosperous guild hall seemed to have experienced severe riots and struggles. The dried bloodstains, as well as the overturned furniture and wooden doors, looked desolate under the pale moonlight.

Li Xuan has returned, but the Luchuan Group has become a dilapidated mess.

He sat alone in the hall, sitting quietly like that. Time passed by silently and unnoticed. The night sky was vast and boundless with clouds rolling and unfolding. A gentle breeze blew across the ground, making the grass rustle and blowing against Li Xuan's clothes and hair, giving the ruins a touch of languor.

His heart was initially divided in two, swaying between the ordinary world and the underworld, but after such a long period of trials, he finally calmed down.

He made too clear a distinction. In this world, there are no two worlds at all. He is who he is, Li Xuan of Luchuan.

※※※※

For two consecutive days, Li Xuan left early and returned late, using all his connections to both launch a plan to rescue his father and search for the whereabouts of Baba and Naito.

In a situation where they are outnumbered and outgunned, no matter how many connections and resources the underworld has, they are powerless in the face of the absolute traditional power of the state.

The reason why the old man and the young master are protecting Xiaochu so desperately is not only because she is Li Xuan's sister. Many clues also indicate that the people of the Ashikawa Group probably know Xiaochu's secret.

Li Xuan worked very hard on the overall coordination, leaving early and returning late every day. He would usually return to his rented room exhausted around 5 p.m.

However, on the afternoon of the third day, as dusk fell, Li Xuan pushed open the door and found an unexpected extra person in the house.

These past two days, because of the need to mobilize resources, the room was filled with instant noodle boxes, garbage bags, and soot, but today all of them have disappeared without a trace. In their place is the second young lady, a high school girl dressed in housekeeping clothes, still wearing her school uniform.

If it's going to snow, who else could it be but Yukino Yukinoshita?

"Miss Yukino!?" Li Xuan was taken aback and asked.

Wearing a blue apron and holding a mop, Yukino turned her head and glanced at Li Xuan in the living room.

That look, so vaguely similar to Yang Nai's, made Li Xuan feel as if he were in a dream.

The wind howled as it blew past Li Xuan, and the girl who had once said "I hate him" with such resentment reappeared once more in the snowy weather.

Is he here for revenge, or to talk to him about something?

She looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Where did you go? Are you only coming back now?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Miss Yukino, how did you get into this house? You shouldn't have a key..."

“When my sister went to study in England, she left this book in my room so I could keep an eye on you during that time. I was worried you might do something foolish that would make you give up on yourself.”

While cleaning, the girl casually recounted her shocking speculations.

Yukino Yukinoshita took off her hat, tossed her beautiful long hair, and said to Li Xuan with a serious expression, "I came here several times, but no one answered the door when I knocked. Just to be on the safe side, I came in without permission, only to find a scene like a garbage dump. You've really fallen into depravity."

Hearing this, Li Xuan finally understood why Yukino Yukinoshita had been able to enter his house. Without thinking further, he went inside and said, "No need to trouble you. I'm just busy with something temporarily. I'll clean it up in a while..."

However, when he stepped onto the wooden board, he felt that it was spotless. Looking around at the corners, he found that there were no blind spots in the cleanliness. Even the moldy areas had been cleaned with a toothbrush, making it more than twice as clean as if he had cleaned it himself.

"..."

Li Xuan stared in astonishment at the rented room; such domestic skills were simply unmatched.

"It's too late to say all this now; I've already cleaned up. Before you say anything, you'd better be able to do it."

Yukino Yukinoshita said nonchalantly.

She arrived at least an hour ago. With so many places to clean, she was clearly exhausted, with a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead, and she looked very focused and meticulous while cleaning.

"What are you doing here? Have you been drinking every night these days? The table is full of beer cans."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, seemingly disliking others drinking, and asked.

"...I went to handle some urgent matters and had a little drink. I haven't been able to sleep well lately if I don't drink."

Li Xuan's attention was drawn back, and he replied.

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat complicated. She seemed to have guessed the reason. She quickly turned her head, casually wiped the sofa for Li Xuan, and said, "If you can't sleep, drinking milk is better than drinking beer."

Li Xuan stood to the side, watching Yukino clean his house; she was doing what Haruno had always been doing...

The second young lady acted as if she were the host, standing in the house, intently cleaning for Li Xuan. This scene evoked indescribable feelings.

Li Xuan was somewhat relieved, but he also felt that it wouldn't be good for Yukino, who was still a high school student, to come to his rented room like this. He had already wronged the eldest young lady, and he couldn't wrong the second young lady as well.
