It's just a coincidence that it's going to fall into Gin's hands again after all this time.

Now Chu Zhong prefers to store money in his inventory, so no one knows the amount in his account, making it incredibly safe.

Twenty minutes later, the two got off the bus 300 meters from their destination and started walking.

Akemi Miyano removed her mask, while Chu Zhong still wore it.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of an abandoned building and saw a chubby middle-aged man, who was one of the accomplices who robbed the armored truck with Miyano Akemi.

"Where's the money?"

Akemi Miyano looked around but couldn't find a container for the money.

"Of course, it's impossible to split the money outside..." The middle-aged man touched his forehead, as if wiping away non-existent sweat, took a deep breath, turned around and went upstairs. "Let's go, Okita is getting impatient."

Even Akemi Miyano could clearly sense that something was wrong, and quickly grabbed Chu Zhong: "You stay on the first floor..."

Chu Zhong gripped Miyano Akemi's hand tightly and shook his head.

Now that we're here, it doesn't matter whether it's the first floor or the second floor.

Then he took Miyano Akemi's hand and led her up to the second floor.

"Police! Don't move!!!"

Upon reaching the second floor, they heard a loud, forceful shout. More than a dozen plainclothes police officers, each armed, were aiming at Chu Zhong and Miyano Akemi.

"You actually..."

Akemi Miyano's pupils contracted; the worst-case scenario had still occurred.

"Don't blame me... I had no choice..."

The middle-aged man, who was an accomplice, had already knelt on the ground with his hands raised.

Stealing 1 billion yen could land you in jail for life if caught by the police... but giving up your accomplices could at least reduce your sentence.

"Hirota Masami! Surrender obediently!!!"

The lead officer wore a brown trench coat and a matching hat; although he was overweight, his gaze was exceptionally sharp.

It's an old acquaintance, Inspector Megure.

"And you! Put your hands up!"

Megure's assistant, Miwako Sato, aimed her gun at Chu Zhong, who was wearing a disguise mask.

"Ha ha……"

Chu Zhong chuckled, grabbed Miyano Akemi by the back of his hand, and ran up the stairs without looking back.

Normally, people flee downwards, so this illogical behavior surprised most of the officers present.

boom--!

Someone did fire a shot in the chaos, but it missed completely.

"Chase!"

With a wave of his hand, Inspector Megure immediately sent Miwako Sato and four other officers upstairs.

"Takagi, you don't need to go."

Immediately afterwards, Inspector Megure stopped Takagi Wataru, who was about to follow him upstairs, and frowned, saying, "I told you, you're not allowed to fire without orders. What was that all about?!"

Takagi Wataru quickly bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Inspector, I was just too, too nervous."

Megure Juzo grew increasingly agitated: "Are you as nervous as I am? Do you know that just now, that one shot almost caused the others to fire as well?!"

"The higher-ups have made it clear that they want to capture him alive. What if something goes wrong..."

Before Inspector Megure could finish speaking, a scream suddenly came from upstairs: "They jumped!!!"

The police officers on the second floor were stunned for a moment, then rushed to the window to look down, only to find chaos.

boom! boom! boom!

The police officers who had been lying in ambush outside the abandoned building were now firing at the pink giant.

The pink giant was rather slow-moving, but its tenacious vitality was undeniable; even after being shot several times with bullet holes, it continued to trample haphazardly.

A dozen or so pink giants, each about two meters tall, almost completely filled the street in front of the abandoned building, and their numbers were still increasing.

Twenty... thirty... forty... as far as the eye could see, everything was covered in pink.

As for the two criminals who just 'jumped off the building,' they have already disappeared without a trace...

Half past eleven.

Chu Zhong and Miyano Akemi were having lunch in an unassuming family restaurant.

Akemi Miyano just stared blankly at the food in front of her, showing no intention of touching it.

"What's wrong? No appetite?"

Chu Zhong asked a question he already knew the answer to.

The middle-aged man who absconded with 1 billion yen in cash has been arrested by the police, and the money has naturally been returned to them.

Without 1 billion yen in cash, Akemi Miyano had no leverage to make a deal with Gin, which naturally caused her distress.

"Lord Chu... please help me again..."

Akemi Miyano looked at her pleadingly, "You're so capable, you must have a way to get the money, right?"

Yesterday, Chu Zhong led her away from the guns of the attackers and snipers, escaping their surveillance.

Just now, Chu Zhong, surrounded by dozens of armed police officers, led her to escape the scene.

Even now, looking back, it seems Chu Zhong had sensed something before going upstairs...

It was obvious that Chu Zhong only intended to protect her and didn't actually want to help her make money.

"Please, darling~" Miyano Akemi began to whine.

Chu Zhong thought for a moment, "Let's eat first."

Before long, most of the food in front of Miyano Akemi was gone.

"Lord Chu~ I'm full~"

Miyano Akemi gently reminded him, and as she spoke, she sat down next to Chu Zhong.

Chu Zhong said "Oh," and emphasized again and again, "Unfortunately, I don't have any money and can't help you."

Undeterred, Akemi Miyano leaned close to his ear and whispered like a devil, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, just go to a few jewelry stores..."

They actually planned to encourage him to rob a jewelry store together.

Chu Zhong smiled and looked into Miyano Akemi's pale blue eyes: "Are you planning to cause a huge uproar and have the entire police force mobilized to round up and arrest you?"

Akemi Miyano: "But you can disguise yourself..."

Chu Zhong interrupted, "So what if we can disguise ourselves? If we rob one jewelry store, the police will start to be on guard. We can't possibly rob a second jewelry store."

Akemi Miyano bit her lip, unable to refute.

Chu Zhong continued, "When you're surrounded, do you plan to take hostages, fight to the death and kill the police, or surrender obediently and go to jail?"

"Even if they manage to acquire enough jewels in the end, can we guarantee that Gin's deal is genuine?"

At this point, Chu Zhong paused for a moment, then continued, "Or, you might prefer to choose another, less risky approach."

"Cancel the deal with Gin, live a peaceful life, and wait for me to find an opportunity to rescue Shiho and reunite you sisters..."

For a long time,

Akemi Miyano sighed deeply, a sense of relief washing over her. "Alright, I'll do as you say..."

Even though she was desperate to save her sister, Miyano Akemi wasn't a fool.

If she could recover that billion yen in cash, she was willing to take the risk and make a deal with Gin.

But she simply couldn't raise that much money right now, and besides... Chu Zhong truly cared for her...

"However... my sister called me the other day, she was crying very hard..."

Miyano Akemi said worriedly, "I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for long..."

Chu Zhong immediately reassured him, "It's alright, that definitely isn't the real Shiho..."

Just then, Akemi Miyano's phone rang.

It's an unfamiliar call.

"elder sister……"

As soon as the call connected, Shiho Miyano's voice, trembling with tears, came through.

Chu Zhong's heart tightened immediately.

The situation is not good!

Then came Gin's voice: "Miyano Akemi, I've brought her out. If I don't see ten billion yen in cash tonight..."

Snapped--!

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

"Ugh——!"

Shiho Miyano's sobs, suppressed by pain, followed closely behind.

Gin quickly hung up the phone...

Chapter 174 Moths to a Flame, Two Policewomen

Upon hearing the first words from the phone, Chu Zhong had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after the phone call was disconnected, Akemi Miyano, who had just been persuaded, tensed up again.

"Shiho, she..."

Miyano Akemi's eyes were filled with tears, her expression sorrowful as she looked at Chu Zhong with pleading eyes.

"That's fake..."

Chu Zhong still wanted to persuade him.

But then Miyano Akemi's tears instantly streamed down her face, her eyes filled with disappointment. Then she glared at him stubbornly, as if silently questioning why he was lying through his teeth.

The painful cries of being whipped on the phone were clearly those of her younger sister, Shiho! She would never mistake her for someone else!

Chu Zhong's hand, which he tried to use to wipe away her tears, was slapped away, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

I never expected Gin to use this tactic...

The 'Shiho Miyano' on the phone is definitely a fake. The organization values ​​her highly, and they would never resort to violence unless she betrays them.

Gin and Vermouth are working together to drive Akemi Miyano to the brink of despair.

After that phone call, regardless of whether Miyano Akemi could get the money or not, she would definitely rush to see Gin.

Chu Zhong really wanted to explain Vermouth's ability to disguise herself and change her voice again...

But now Akemi Miyano is clearly emotionally unstable and won't listen to him at all; instead, she's questioning him.

Forcing them to listen will only make the situation worse...

"Okay, I'll help you..."

Chu Zhong sighed, deciding to try and calm Miyano Akemi down first.

In my haste, I forgot something important...

This caused a hint of... wariness to appear in Miyano Akemi's eyes.

"I don't need your help!"

Miyano Akemi gave a wronged snort, hastily wiped away her tears, and got up to leave.

Chu Zhong then realized that he had forgotten to remove the title of "emotional therapist," and his perfunctory attitude was immediately apparent to her.

He immediately grabbed Miyano Akemi's hand, forcibly pulled her into his arms, and whispered:
