Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

Inside the shopping mall, Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri were standing in front of a jewelry store counter, enthusiastically trying on new necklaces.

Sonoko Suzuki fiddled with her hair in front of the mirror, a smug smile on her face: "Ran, don't you think this necklace looks amazing with my hairstyle?"

Ran Mouri smiled and nodded: "It really suits you, Sonoko, you have such a great presence!"

The two were laughing and joking, completely unaware that a pair of cold eyes outside the mall were fixed on them through the glass window.

Chapter 208 A Woman Faster Than a Bullet

"boom--"

Gunshots were fired.

Sonoko Suzuki is not dead.

It's not that Gin's marksmanship is bad.

Rather, it's Ran Mouri's reaction speed that's simply too incredible.

She actually managed to dodge bullets with Sonoko Suzuki!

Gunshots rang out on the street outside the mall, sharp and brief, like a knife slicing through the afternoon hustle and bustle.

The crowd instantly descended into chaos, screams and footsteps mingling as passersby scattered and fled.

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes widened as Ran Mouri suddenly pulled her down, causing her to almost fall to the ground. The necklace slipped from her hand and clattered as it rolled on the floor.

"Xiao Lan?!"

Sonoko Suzuki was still in shock, her voice trembling: "That...that was just now—"

"Don't speak! Lie down!"

Ran Mouri's voice was hurried.

She shoved Sonoko against a pillar at the mall entrance, her body tense, her eyes darting around rapidly.

Her fighting instincts allowed her to sense the danger the moment the gun went off, and she managed to pull Sonoko away from the bullet.

In the alley, Gin frowned, a wisp of smoke rising from the muzzle of his gun.

He didn't expect to fail, and he certainly didn't expect the girl named Ran Mouri to react so quickly.

His eyes were as cold as ice, his fingers lightly stroking the gun handle as he muttered a curse under his breath: "Trouble."

"Boss, we messed up..."

Vodka's voice carried a hint of unease as he pushed up his sunglasses and scanned the crowd: "Want to go again?"

Gin didn't answer, his gaze fixed on the pillar at the mall entrance.

He could sense the girl's wariness, like some kind of wild animal instinct, which made him instinctively feel uneasy.

"Walk."

If the first strike misses, immediately retreat.

This is the optimal strategy for self-preservation during an assassination mission.

The Porsche's engine gave a low growl, and it silently slid into the traffic, disappearing around the street corner.

After a long while, the police arrived at the scene.

After confirming there was no danger, Ran helped Sonoko to her feet. Sonoko's face was pale with fright, and her lips trembled slightly: "Ran... that was a gun, wasn't it? Someone really fired a gun?! Who... who wants to kill me?!"

She eats, drinks, and has fun every day, and has never offended anyone!

Even if one's own family has enemies.

We shouldn't have come looking for that useless little girl!

Besides, the Suzuki family is just a business conglomerate; they shouldn't have offended any enemies who would resort to assassination.

This kind of thing usually only happens to politicians in Japan.

……

Meanwhile, Akemi Miyano practically ran back to the lab.

She pushed open the door and was greeted by a familiar smell of chemical reagents, mixed with a slightly unusual, dull atmosphere.

The laboratory was empty, with only a few documents and test tubes scattered on the lab table, and an instrument in the corner still humming softly.

"Shiho?"

She called out, and her voice echoed in the empty room.

No one responded.

She took out her phone and dialed her sister's number again.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered. This time, Ai Haibara's voice was clearly tired: "Sis... I told you I'm busy, please don't keep calling, okay?"

"Shiho, where are you?"

Akemi Miyano's voice was almost accusatory: "Also, what were those voices on the phone just now?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Ai Haibara's voice lowered, as if she was suppressing some emotion: "Sis, don't overthink it. I... I was really busy with experiments. Some equipment broke, so the noise is a bit chaotic. Don't worry about it, I'm fine."

"Where are you?"

Akemi Miyano persisted, "I'm in the lab right now, you're not here at all!"

There was another moment of silence.

This time, a faint chuckle could be heard in the background, sounding like a man's voice.

"Sis, I'm really fine. I'll explain when I get back. I'm hanging up now!"

The call was hung up again.

Akemi Miyano stared at her phone, her chest heaving.

Ye Hai!!!

Although it was only for a moment, Akemi Miyano still recognized whose voice it was.

……

On the other side, Ai Haibara leaned against the wall of a secluded cafe's private room, her cheeks still flushed with an unnatural blush.

Ye Hai sat opposite her, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, a faint smile on his lips.

"Your sister is really perceptive. Should I say that you sisters are of one mind?"

Ye Hai said slowly, his eyes mocking.

"Shut up!"

Ai Haibara glared at him, her voice filled with embarrassment and annoyance: "It's all your fault, you had to...do it in a place like that!"

She bit her lip, and her face turned even redder as she thought about what had just happened in the lab.

Ye Hai shrugged, completely unconcerned: "You agreed to the deal yourself; I didn't force you. Besides, weren't you just saying—"

As he spoke, Ye Hai's gaze drifted to Ai Haibara.

"It's so cute how her little tummy moves!"

"enough!"

Ai Haibara abruptly interrupted him, taking a deep breath and trying to calm herself down: "This is not the time to talk about this. My sister's tone was off just now; she must be suspicious."

"You'll find out sooner or later, so there's no need for you to hide it from me."

Ye Hai took a sip of coffee.

Ai Haibara snorted coldly and did not answer.

She glanced down at her phone; there was still an unread message on the screen from Akemi Miyano: "Shiho, if you don't come back, I'm going to go find Ye Hai."

Ai Haibara frowned. This was troublesome. She had only gone to that kind of place to keep her sister from finding out.

In the end, they were still suspected.

Just then, a familiar red Porsche slowly drove past the glass window of Cafe 017, and Gin's profile flashed by in the car window.

Ai Haibara's pupils contracted sharply, and she almost dropped the coffee cup in her hand.

"what happened?"

Ye Hai noticed her unusual behavior and followed her gaze, but only saw traffic.

"Gin..."

Ai Haibara's eyes trembled, showing some fear.

Ye Hai spread his mental energy and quickly located Gin and Vodka in the traffic.

He stood up and hugged Ai Haibara to comfort her, saying, "It's no big deal. If you're really scared, I can help you take care of them."

Ye Hai was still very willing to lend a hand to his woman.

"you?"

Ai Haibara looked up at Ye Hai with a suspicious gaze.

In her mind, Ye Hai was at most a gang leader with some money, and he couldn't compare to a transnational criminal organization like the winery.

"forget it."

Ai Haibara buried her face in Ye Hai's arms; she didn't want Ye Hai to take any risks.

It's said that the fastest way to a woman's heart is...

She was the same.

If she had previously considered using Ye Hai's influence to fight against the winery...

Now with a completely new identity, Ai Haibara just wants to avoid the Black Organization's attention and live a good life with her sister and Hai.

Chapter 209 I'm going to keep pulling cattle and horses again, I'm determined to be this damn broker.

Although Ai Haibara no longer intended for Hai to make a move.

But Ye Hai still made his move.

of course.

It is not a direct physical elimination.

Instead, they forcibly pulled them into the world of the main god.

Previously, Hachiman Hikigaya and Conan Edogawa successfully completed the mission, which brought Ye Hai another 4000 reward points.

The feeling of earning income without having to work is just so great.

So he decided to recruit more people.

Although it would cost an invitation if the target wasn't the chosen one, Ye Hai believed that Gin and Vodka could make up for the expense.

"Each ticket costs 1,000 reward points, so I can buy two more."

At night, Ye Hai stood on a rooftop, rubbing his chin.

He had just sent Gin and Vodka into the Main God Space.

Gin and Vodka were also honored to become the third reincarnation team in the God Space.

Regardless of which specific world they went to.

Ye Hai now plans to recruit more able-bodied men.

Reward points are a great thing; the more the merrier.

"I remember that Shiina Mahiru's classmate should also be considered a child of destiny."

A wicked smile crept across Ye Hai's lips.

He not only stole the female lead from the other person's original destiny, but now he also wants to send the other person to the God Space to work for him.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Hai suddenly felt that he was really bad.

But... hehe.
