My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

He returned home without disturbing anyone, and left a letter in his room.

He had already arranged everything beforehand, and some of the assets he obtained from the Hanada-kai had long been transferred to his father and Asuka's names.

These assets aren't much, but they're enough for them to live a good life.

He also called the head of the Flower Field Association, telling him that he would be leaving for a while and asking him to take care of his family when the time was right.

Seeing the reluctant expression on Hui's face, Kouta went over and hugged her, comforting her, "Hui, don't be sad. We're just leaving temporarily. We'll come back after our baby is born!"

As long as you have money, eloping is just a long honeymoon.

Upon hearing this, Hui's reluctance to part with her parents vanished. She realized that, as Kengtai had said, it wasn't like she wasn't coming back.

Besides, Japan is so small; it's only a matter of minutes if they want to come back.

The knot in her heart melted away, and Hui clung tightly to Kouta's arm, leaning against him like a clingy little kitten, and said excitedly, "Kouta, let's go! Let's elope! Let's elope!"

“Yeah, let’s go, let’s elope!” Kouta chimed in.

Based on the principle he had read in a book that "true hermits live in the city," Kouta decided to take Kei to Osaka, a populous city.

Instead of taking the Shinkansen, they opted for a long-distance bus that didn't require identification.

However, when the two were taking a taxi to the long-distance bus station, they did not notice that an ordinary minivan was hanging far away in the distance.

Chapter 359 Kidnapping

……

The long-distance bus has already departed. In the third-to-last row from the back, Hui sat in a window seat, while Kouta sat in an aisle seat.

They arrived at the long-distance bus station smoothly and caught the bus that was about to depart, so they quickly bought two tickets and boarded the bus.

Hui was still wearing that long coral fleece brown robe, a mask on her face, and a cotton hat on her head.

Hui is now completely famous, and her stunning beauty makes her easily recognizable. Anyone on the street can recognize her when she goes out, which is why she has this "fully armed" look that celebrities wear when they go out.

Although it's rare to see people wearing masks in Japan, it's not uncommon. After all, many people in Japan have allergies, and with the weather turning cold in December, many people also catch colds. Therefore, everyone assumed that Hui might be allergic to something or had caught a cold.

Even so, Hui's ethereal气质 still attracted the attention of many men in the car.

Although they couldn't see what Hui looked like, the first thing they saw about her was her bright, beautiful eyes, which were clear and sparkling like stars.

What made them particularly jealous was that whenever the girl cast her beautiful eyes at the boy beside her, those eyes would curve like crescent moons, as if her spirit was overflowing. With every frown and smile, a noble and gentle expression was revealed at the same time, making people marvel at her otherworldly radiance.

Once in the car, Hui transformed into a clingy kitten, clinging to Kouta's arm and leaning against him. Her face was always beaming with happiness. Although her face was hidden by her mask, the happiness, sweetness, and contentment in her bright, clear eyes were the epitome of a lovestruck young woman completely devoted to her husband.

Hui would occasionally steal a glance at Kouta's profile, but Kouta was already taller than her, and now she was leaning against him like a little bird, her head resting on Kouta's shoulder, so she had to look up when she looked at him.

Hui Cai discovered that she was so easily satisfied. Just by quietly watching Geng Tai, she felt happy and like the happiest woman in the world.

Meanwhile, Kouta was experiencing both pain and happiness.

From the moment she got on the bus, Hui liked to cling to his arm and not let go, her soft body pressed against his side. He couldn't refuse her, so he could only silently endure it. Now, he couldn't move his entire upper body and could only sit upright with his back straight.

He never knew before that Hui was so clingy.

However, he felt very satisfied.

When dealing with outsiders, Hui always exudes a cool and aloof aura, making her seem unapproachable. However, he can also sense the adorable and silly charm hidden beneath Hui's aloofness, which always makes people smile.

For example, Hui originally planned to sit directly in his lap and share a seat with him.

He rejected me.

This was a public place, and it was the first time he had ever heard of Huineng doing something so audacious in front of everyone without realizing it.

It takes about six hours by long-distance bus to get to Osaka.

It's already 10 a.m., and we should arrive in Osaka around evening.

The car had already left Aomori City and entered the national highway connecting Kanto and Kansai.

Kouta glanced at Hui. Hui's mask wasn't worn properly, and from his angle, he could see her delicate nose, rosy cheeks, and small, bright red lips through the gaps in the mask. He asked with concern, "Hui, is it uncomfortable wearing a mask?"

"I don't feel uncomfortable." Hui looked up and met his gaze, answering without hesitation.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

“Hui is not wronged, and…” Hui loosened her grip on Kouta’s arm, nuzzled her head against Kouta’s ear and whispered, “And from now on, Hui’s appearance will only be shown to you!”

Hui's words instantly melted Kouta's heart.

When the woman he loved most was willing to go to such lengths for him, he suddenly felt that even dying would be worthwhile.

However, he naturally wouldn't let Hui do that: "Hui, there's absolutely no need to go to such lengths."

“No,” Hui shook her head and said firmly, “Hui did this voluntarily.”

The car continued driving on the national highway.

Among those who take the bus to Kansai, apart from people like Kouta who want to conceal their whereabouts, the rest are there for the cheap price.

The fastest Shinkansen train takes only two hours to travel from Aomori to Osaka, but it costs 12000 yen.

While the bus takes six hours, it only costs around 3000 yen, and the boarding location is convenient.

The bus continued its journey and has now left the national highway and entered a mountainous area.

The bus moved slowly along the winding mountain road. The mountain road was not wide, with only two lanes. On both sides of the road were dense forests with leaves that were beginning to turn yellow, and every now and then one or two high-pitched birdsongs could be heard.

There are very few vehicles on this road; often, you won't see a single car for several tens of minutes.

After all, it's not peak tourist season now, and today isn't a holiday, so there are still very few people traveling.

Hui leaned on Kouta's shoulder, wearing earphones and listening to music, her eyes closed, it was hard to tell if she was asleep or something else.

suddenly,

The bus braked suddenly and came to a stop.

It turned out that a dilapidated van, seemingly broken down, was parked on the road not far in front of the bus. The van was straddling the road, preventing the large bus from passing.

After the bus stopped, three men got out of a van and walked toward the bus, seemingly asking for help.

"Why did you park here?" Hui asked, puzzled.

"It's alright, there's a broken-down car up ahead, it should be fixed soon," Kouta said.

The bus driver was a middle-aged man with an honest-looking face. When he saw the three men waving at him at the door, he opened the door.

These three were the same three serious criminals from before. They were wearing black jackets and jeans, with their waist bags slightly bulging, covered by their clothes, so it was unclear what was inside.

As soon as they got on the bus, they immediately revealed their true colors.

Among the three, the one with the thick beard was Xiong Chengjun. He had a solemn face, and his deep, dark eyes shone with a dark light, complementing his deep-set eyebrows and long, straight eyelashes. He exuded a murderous aura.

With his shaved head, Kawada had a cold and stern face, and his eyes occasionally flashed with a fierce light. He was the strongest of the three, with his straight and powerful legs firmly planted on the ground. Just standing there, he gave people a strong sense of pressure.

However, the most frightening of the three was Ryosuke Futakawa, who had a lewd appearance. He was the shortest of the three, with small eyes, a narrow mind, and a sinister, even cruel, face that sent chills down one's spine. As soon as he entered the car, he began to scrutinize everything inside with a sharp look, and a sinister smile would occasionally curl up at the corner of his mouth.

The three men stood at the front of the bus with unfriendly expressions. The passengers weren't stupid, and a commotion immediately broke out.

At this moment, the bald-headed Kawada began to act.

He pulled out a gleaming dagger and threatened the people in the car, "Robbery! If you don't want to die, shut up and sit still! We only want to rob you, we don't want to kill you, of course, that's all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the car fell silent.

suddenly.

Thump thump thump...!

Xiong Chengjun suddenly grabbed the thin man closest to him and started punching him repeatedly on the head.

"Damn it, you dare to secretly call the police?"

"I told you to call the police, I told you to call the police..."

The beaten man screamed in agony, completely bewildered because he hadn't called the police at all.

He kept repeating, "I didn't call the police, I didn't call the police...", but it was no use.

Finally, seemingly exhausted, Yuuki Hayato stopped fighting.

He grabbed the man, who was barely breathing, by the neck and lifted him high so that everyone in the car could clearly see the man's miserable state.

The man's head was broken, and blood was winding down his forehead. One eye was swollen to several times its original size, and the eyeball was completely invisible. The other eye was almost the same size, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

A collective gasp filled the car, and everyone was too frightened to make a sound.

"See? This is what happens when you dare to call the police!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the car. Everyone he looked at, regardless of age, gender, height, or weight, turned pale and lowered their heads, as if afraid of attracting the other person's attention.

Upon seeing this, Xiong Chengjun smiled and said mockingly, "However, if you can report the guy who secretly called the police, I promise I'll let you go!"

And if you dare to conceal it, you'll suffer the same fate as the guy who called the police!

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car immediately became tense, and everyone glanced at the people next to them, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally...

Even more extreme, some people put their phones in their pockets and leave their hands outside to avoid suspicion, as a way of proving their "innocence."

Chapter 360 Conflict and Gun Drawing

Kouta noticed that everyone in the car was silent, and many of the more timid ones were starting to tremble.

There were men in the car, but they all chose to keep their heads down and remain silent.

Furthermore, more than half of the people were secretly looking around, observing the people around them.

Upon seeing this, Kouta shook his head and abandoned his plan to intervene.

Although those three men looked formidable, they were still only three people. Even if they had daggers, could they really defeat the more than 40 people in the car?

Since most people choose not to cause trouble for others, he has no need to "cause trouble for others." What if he ends up saving them and then they accuse him of "bringing them revenge for doing this," and so on...

Moreover, he was just a high school student.

"Hui, don't worry, I'm here for you!" Kōta said, holding Hui's fingers together, trying to comfort her, afraid that she, a young girl, would be frightened by the scene.

Hui was naturally not frightened by this scene, but when she saw Kouta protecting her, a surge of joy welled up in her heart. Her heart was filled with sweetness, her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Kouta with admiration, and she hugged Kouta's arm even tighter. Her beautiful face was filled with silly joy, without a trace of panic or fear, making her stand out in the carriage where everyone was trembling with fear.

“Now, everyone, take out all the money you have on you.” After saying that, Yuujou Hayato glanced at Kawada and Futakawa Ryosuke. “Second brother, third brother, go collect the things.”
