Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

The arrivals area was bustling with people, and conversations in various languages ​​filled the air.

Kitahara Makoto and Lin Wan weaved through the crowd, searching for the person who was supposed to pick them up at the airport.

Suddenly, their eyes were drawn to a striking banner that read in Chinese, “Welcome Mr. Kitahara Makoto.”

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly and said to Lin Wan:

"Looks like someone is here to pick us up."

They walked in the direction of the banner and saw a young man standing to the side, holding a sign with Kitahara Makoto's name on it.

When he saw Kitahara Shin and Lin Wan approaching, he immediately went to greet them.

"Mr. Bei, hello! I'm Wang Chen, sent by the company to pick you up."

Wang Chen warmly extended his hand and shook hands with Kitahara Makoto.

His face was beaming with a friendly smile, giving people a warm feeling.

"Hello, Wang Chen. Thank you for your hard work."

Kitahara Makoto responded, and at the same time introduced Lin Wan, who was next to him, to Li Hua, "This is my translation assistant, Lin Wan."

"Hello Ms. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Wang Chen nodded to Lin Wan, then turned to Kitahara Makoto.

"Mr. Bei, the car has been arranged, and we can head to the hotel now."

"Okay, please."

Kitahara Makoto nodded in agreement. They followed Li Hua out of the arrivals area and to a minivan parked by the roadside.

Wang Chen opened the car door for them and helped them put their luggage into the trunk.

On the way to the hotel, Wang Chen introduced the customs and culture of the United States and the company's arrangements to Kitahara Makoto and Lin Wan.

He explained the upcoming itinerary in detail, including meetings with partners and visits to various locations.

Kitahara Makoto and Lin Wan listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show their understanding.

As the vehicle moves, the scenery outside the window keeps changing.

The cityscapes, skyscrapers, and bustling streets of the United States filled Kitahara Makoto and Lin Wan with a sense of novelty and excitement.

Shortly after, Kitahara Makoto and Lin Wan arrived at the hotel and quickly checked in.

They chose a spacious and bright room, neatly arranged their luggage, and then rested for a while.

Just then, Kitahara Makoto's phone rang (ma ma hao).

He picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from his company assistant, Li Hua.

He pressed the answer button, and his assistant's voice came from the other end of the line:

"Mr. Bei, have you arrived yet?"

"Yes, I just arrived at the hotel and am resting now."

Kitahara Makoto replied.

“That’s great. Mr. Bei, there’s something I need to confirm with you.”

The assistant's voice sounded somewhat formal: "The meeting with the Netflix president is scheduled for 8 PM tonight."

Okay, thank you for your hard work.

Kitahara Makoto immediately sat up straight, showing how much importance he attached to this meeting.

"Please tell me the specific location and any precautions I need to take."

"Okay, Mr. Bei. The location is the VIP conference room at the Peace Hotel. I will send you the specific address later."

"During the meeting, the president of Netflix may discuss cooperation between the two parties in depth, so please prepare relevant materials and viewpoints in advance."

The assistant explained the situation in detail.

"Understood, I will prepare in advance."

Kitahara Makoto nodded in response.

"Also, please make sure the talks proceed smoothly, including the venue setup and reception etiquette."

"Rest assured, we have made full preparations."

The assistant replied,

"Also, please let me know if you need any help or support."

"OK, thanks."

Kitahara Shin hung up the phone, his heart filled with anticipation for the meeting.

He knew that this meeting was of great significance to the company and that they had to go all out.

After hanging up the phone with his assistant, Kitahara Makoto glanced at the time and realized it was almost lunchtime.

He realized that having dinner with Lin Wan and discussing the evening's meeting was a good idea, so he stood up, walked to Lin Wan's room, and knocked on the door.

"Lin Wan, it's me."

Kitahara Makoto said softly at the door.

The door was quickly opened, and Lin Wan appeared in the doorway, holding a document in her hand.

"Mr. Bei, is there something you need?" she asked.

"It's almost time, let's go have lunch together," Kitahara Makoto said with a smile.

"At the same time, we also need to double-check the details of the meeting tonight."

Lin Wan nodded, put down the documents in her hand, and put on a relaxed expression.

"Okay, I'm hungry too. Let's go."

The two left the room together and headed to the hotel restaurant.

In the restaurant, they chose a quiet corner to sit down and ordered a few simple lunch dishes.

"Lin Wan, tonight's meeting is very important. We need to make sure that (CECJ) is fully prepared."

Kitahara Makoto said while eating,

"Relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Kitahara Makoto and Lin Wan were having dinner in a corner of the hotel restaurant, discussing their meeting that evening.

Suddenly, the previously gentle atmosphere in the restaurant was broken by a burst of noise.

They looked up and saw the crowd at the restaurant entrance starting to panic; some people were screaming, and some were running.

"What happened?"

Lin Wan asked nervously, her hands trembling slightly as she held the cutlery.

Kitahara Makoto immediately stood up and glanced towards the restaurant entrance. Several men in black rushed in, armed with guns and looking menacing.

at the same time.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Intense gunfire was also heard outside the restaurant.

"It's a gang shootout!"

Kitahara Makoto said in a low voice. He quickly grabbed Lin Wan's hand and prepared to run towards the restaurant's emergency exit.

However, the restaurant's guests were terrified by the sudden gunfire and scattered in all directions, creating chaos.

Kitahara Shin and Lin Wan moved with difficulty through the crowd, their hearts racing and their breathing becoming rapid.

Suddenly, a bullet struck the restaurant's chandelier, scattering shards of glass everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Kitahara Makoto immediately shielded Lin Wan behind him, using his own body to block any potential danger for her.

"Stay close to me, we need to get out of here as soon as possible."

"I'm talking in a low voice," Kitahara Makoto said, gripping Lin Wan's hand tightly as they made their way through the chaotic crowd toward the emergency exit.

Chapter 278 A Thrilling but Safe Evacuation

Amid gunshots and screams from the crowd, Kitahara Makoto and Lin Wan struggled forward.

They weaved through the panicked crowd, past fallen customers and broken tableware, and finally reached the restaurant's emergency exit.

Kitahara Shin glanced back at the chaotic scene, took a deep breath, and then pulled Lin Wan out of the restaurant.

As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, they saw that the hotel lobby was also in chaos. Guests and staff were running in all directions, searching for a safe place.

Kitahara Makoto looked around and quickly determined the safest escape route—the hotel's back door.

“Let’s go this way, the back door shouldn’t be blocked yet.” Kitahara Makoto said, then pulled Lin Wan toward the hotel’s back door.

They walked through the long corridor, dodging the gunshots and screams coming from all directions.

Finally, they arrived at the hotel's back entrance.

Several guests and staff were already trying to open the lock at the back door, but it looked very sturdy, and they couldn't open it despite their efforts.

"Move aside, let me try."

As Kitahara Makoto spoke, he squeezed to the door and forcefully turned the lock.

His strength was far greater than the others, and soon the lock clicked open.

"Quick, everyone get out of here!"

Kitahara Shin called out, pushing open the door first to let Lin Wan and the others go out. He himself stayed behind to make sure no one was left behind.

The group finally escaped from the hotel and came out onto the street.

The streets were in complete chaos, with traffic jams and pedestrians running. Kitahara Shin pulled Lin Wan along, weaving through the turbulent crowds and traffic, searching for a relatively safe place.

Finally, they arrived at a corner of a park. It was relatively quiet there, without the sound of gunfire or the noise of crowds.

Kitahara stopped and turned to look at Lin Wan. Her face was pale, but her eyes shone with determination.

"We are safe."

Kitahara Makoto said in a low voice. He reached out and gently patted Lin Wan's shoulder, trying to comfort her.

Lin Wan nodded, took a deep breath, and then looked up at Kitahara Makoto:

"Mr. Bei, thank you."

Kitahara Makoto smiled slightly: "We are colleagues, it is only right that we help each other."

He glanced at his watch.

"It's getting late, we need to hurry back to our rooms and pack up for tonight's meeting."

Lin Wan nodded, and the two walked together toward the hotel.

Although their recent experience had frightened and unsettled them, they knew that only by remaining calm and resolute could they overcome this challenge.

..................

As night deepened and the stars shone brightly, Kitahara Makoto and Lin Wan stood at the hotel lobby entrance, preparing to depart for the Peace Hotel for an important meeting.

...........

Both of them changed into formal suits. Kitahara Makoto wore a dark blue suit, looking calm and capable; Lin Wan wore a black fitted suit, elegant yet capable.

They exchanged a glance, and Kitahara Makoto nodded slightly, a determined glint in his eyes.

Lin Wan returned the smile, as if to say:

"We're ready."

As I stepped out of the hotel, a black minivan was already waiting at the entrance.

The driver politely opened the car door for the two of them. Kitahara Makoto got in first, and then Lin Wan gracefully sat down inside.

The car was quiet and comfortable. After settling in, Kitahara Makoto began to review the key points of the evening's meeting.
