Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

"If I object, will you stop the assassination attempt on Tsukamoto?"

"Later Life Tears" countered with a question.

Li Xin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I must kill Tsukamoto."

Putting aside his threats to Xiaoxue, the crimes he committed are too numerous to count, and killing him would be the only way to appease public anger.

"Then let's not settle it!"

Lai Sheng Lei rolled her eyes and said, "Since you won't stop, I can only try to help you make the assassination plan go more smoothly, preferably without revealing my identity, so that the murderer can't be found and the $100 million revenge fund won't be a threat to you."

"Xiao Lei, thank you."

Li Xin said, moved.

"Thank me. Next time something like this happens, just tell me. Don't try to shun me."

Tears well up in my eyes as I think of the next life.

Li Xin remained silent. He dared not make any promises to Lai Shenglei because he felt that even if he knew that Lai Shenglei was very capable and could help him, he would still exclude Lai Shenglei if he encountered a similar situation again.

Lai Sheng Lei guessed Li Xin's thoughts. She sighed and then said to Li Xin, "It's getting late. I'll go investigate the security situation at the Tsukamoto Group headquarters tomorrow morning. It just so happens that the security company I acquired seems to have relevant intelligence gathering capabilities. I'll go and get it for reference so I can formulate a detailed infiltration and escape plan for you."

Li Xin nodded, then looked at Lai Shenglei, only to see that Lai Shenglei was sitting motionless on the sofa, seemingly with no intention of leaving.

He swallowed hard and said to Laishenglei, "Little Lei, it's so late, you should go back first. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Lai Sheng Lei smiled slightly: "Yes, it's so late, it's not convenient for me to go back. Why don't you let me sleep here for the night? Don't you have two rooms here?"

"That's true, but..."

"It's not like we've never slept together before, what are you so nervous about?"

"Lai Sheng Lei interrupted Li Xin."

Li Xin: "..."

Xiao Lei, don't talk nonsense. We only slept in the same room, but we slept in separate rooms!

Li Xin felt that the phrase "tears of the next life" seemed quite ambiguous.

But since Lai Shenglei had already said all that, what could Li Xin do? He could only say to Lai Shenglei, "Little Lei, wait a moment, I'll go prepare some bedding for you."

Li Xin had bought a whole set of bedding and other items to entertain Yu Xue, but Yu Xue didn't stay at Li Xin's place for even one night, so those bedding and other daily necessities were still brand new and could be used directly by Lai Sheng Lei, so it wasn't a waste.

After sending Sheng Lei back to his room to sleep, Li Xin returned to his own room and began to meditate and practice his internal energy. However, he suddenly found that he could not calm down and even felt a little hot all over.

Li Xin understood the reason: a man and a woman alone in a room, especially since Li Xin was going to do something extremely dangerous the next day. He was only human, and humans can't escape certain instincts.

However, what makes Li Xin better than most people is his self-control. So Li Xin temporarily put down his training and went to the bathroom to take a shower, hoping to use the cold water to calm down the strange feeling in his body.

Cold water splashed all over Li Xin, and his emotions finally calmed down. After drying himself off, he returned to his room, sat back on the bed, thought for a moment, and decided to stop practicing and go to sleep. He pulled the blanket over himself and fell into a deep sleep.

It's already summer, and the weather is a bit hot, so Li Xin is only covered with a thin blanket.

In a daze, Li Xin suddenly heard the sound of the room door opening, and then a fragrant body lay down next to him.

"It's a bit hot, I can't sleep. Your room seems a bit cooler."

Lai Shenglei lay beside Li Xin and said.

It's hot, turn on the air conditioner! I'm not going to skimp on the electricity bill!

The words stuck in his throat, and in the end, Li Xin could only manage a very soft "Oh..."

Lai Sheng Lei smiled faintly, and then...

"Hmm, your body is quite cold. Let me lean on you for a bit."

Tears of the Next Life continued.

After Li Xin practiced the "Mingyu Gong," his body temperature was indeed cooler than that of ordinary people. It was only natural that Lai Sheng Lei felt hot and wanted to get closer to him. Li Xin could only say, "Hmm..."

“Ah-xin…”

"Ah."

Chapter 111 Life is full of unexpected encounters.

The next day at dawn, Lai Sheng Lei stood in the washroom washing up, wearing not her usual silk pajamas, but a thin shirt.

The shirt was large, the hem just covering the top of Lai Shenglei's thighs. She was brushing her teeth carefully when Li Xin came over with a new toothbrush and said to Lai Shenglei, "Little Lei, new toothbrush... uh, you're using my toothbrush..."

Lai Sheng Lei gracefully rinsed her mouth, gently spat out the foam, and turned to ask Li Xin, "Can't I use it?"

Li Xin paused for a moment, then said, "Use it as you like."

Anyway, we already did *that* kind of thing last night, so using a toothbrush isn't a big deal, right?

Li Xin thought to himself.

After washing up, Lai Sheng Lei put back on the trench coat she had worn before. As for the original pajamas, they were no longer wearable, but she still put them away.

After putting on her trench coat, Lai Sheng Lei said to Li Xin, "I'll go back first. Come to Cat's Eye Cafe this afternoon. We're not open today, so come through the back door."

Li Xin nodded, looking at Lai Sheng Lei with a hesitant expression.

Lai Sheng Lei lifted the hair tucked into her trench coat and said to Li Xin, "Ah Xin, we're all adults. Some things, once they happen, they happen. It's not a big deal, right?"

Li Xin had a lot to say, but he couldn't quite bring himself to say it. In the end, he could only nod and say, "Yes, Xiao Lei, you're right."

Next, he was going to assassinate Tsukamoto Kazuo. Who knew what would happen after that? He really couldn't make any promises to Kisei Rui. He would wait until he survived.

"I'm leaving now, see you this afternoon."

Lai Sheng Lei opened the door, waved to Li Xin, and left, all with an air of composure and grace.

After getting into the car, the seemingly composed Lai Shengrui suddenly collapsed, slumping onto the steering wheel as if she wanted to bury herself.

Seriously, they actually did it...

Thinking about what happened last night, even Lai Sheng Lei couldn't help but blush to the roots of her ears.

She originally thought that there were only two things in her life: taking care of her two younger sisters and finding her father. Love and marriage were no longer within her consideration. Even if she had fantasized about them for a moment, it was only after imagining finding her father, reuniting with her family, and her two younger sisters finding happiness. These thoughts would only occasionally flash through her mind. Now, she was still far from achieving that goal, so she should stay far away from love and marriage.

However, although she blushed at what she did last night, Rui Kisei did not regret it.

What's done is done. Although it was partly due to impulse and her worry that Li Xin might never return, she didn't regret what she did last night.

Let's just say this was the only time in her life she acted impulsively!

Tears of the Next Life silently told himself.

Back at Cat's Eye Cafe, Kisugi Rui had put up a "Closed" sign. Kisugi Ai and Kisugi Hitomi both knew that Kisugi Rui had suddenly left the night before, but they didn't know what she had done.

However, among the three sisters, Rui Kisugi is always the busiest, so it's normal for her to have something come up unexpectedly, but...

"Hey lady, the shampoo you're wearing smells a bit strange. It doesn't seem to be your usual brand, does it?"

"Hey lady, why are your clothes a little wrinkled?"

"Hey lady, why are you walking like that?"

"Big sister, you..."

Hitomi tugged at Ai, telling her to shut up before Rei could explode.

You're not Sherlock Holmes, and this isn't the world of detective novels. Aren't you afraid of being killed for saying all this?

Lai Sheng Ai obediently shut her mouth, but still whispered to Lai Sheng Tong, "Second sister, eldest sister is definitely acting strangely!"

"Xiao Ai, hurry up and go to school!"

Lai Sheng Lei's deep voice rang out, and Lai Sheng Ai weakly raised her hand: "Today is a day off..."

"Do you need me to enroll you in a tutoring class?"

"I'll be reborn in the next life," she said coldly.

"Big sister, I was wrong, please forgive me..."

In the next life, I will beg for mercy.

Lai Sheng Lei was too lazy to pay attention to Lai Sheng Ai. She took a shower and changed back into her usual clothes. Apart from her slightly strange walking posture, she was no different from usual.

After coughing, Lai Sheng Rui sent Lai Sheng Tong and Lai Sheng Ai out to play, then made a few phone calls and received several documents via fax.

At noon, Cat's Eye Cafe closed. A group of police officers who wanted to have lunch at Cat's Eye Cafe felt like the sky was falling when they saw the cafe's closed doors.

When they saw that the Cat's Eye Cafe was closed in the morning, they assumed that the three sisters from the Laisheng family wanted to sleep in on the weekend and that's why they weren't open in the morning. They thought it would be open by noon, since they hadn't put up a "closed" sign. But when they came at noon, the shop was still closed, but the "closed" sign was up, which completely crushed their hopes.

Working overtime at the Metropolitan Police Department on their days off is bad enough, but now even the Cat's Eye Cafe, which is a source of comfort for them, is closed. They might as well just die.

Meanwhile, Li Xin quietly went to the back door of Cat's Eye Cafe and went inside.

Inside the coffee shop, Lai Sheng Rui was cooking when she heard the noise and said, "Ah Xin, you're here. You probably haven't had lunch yet, right? Want to eat together?"

Li Xin sat down at the bar, took the hot water from Lai Shenglei's hand, and said, "Thank you, Xiao Lei, for your trouble."

Lai Sheng Lei smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome."

In a corner, two figures lurked behind a potted plant for decoration. One of them said, "What's with the way these newlyweds look?"

Another person tapped the speaker on the head: "Shut up, if the eldest sister finds out, we're dead!"

Lai Sheng Ai stuck out her tongue. She wasn't too afraid of Lai Sheng Tong's "you're doomed" comment, since her older sister wouldn't really do anything to her anyway. But if there wasn't a good show to watch, she would really be miserable.

Lai Sheng Rui, who was busy cooking, did not notice the two kittens that were lingering in the coffee shop. Li Xin did notice them, but did not care. After all, this was their home, and it was normal for them to appear in their home, right?

At the invitation of Laisheng Lei, Li Xin enjoyed the delicious dishes cooked by Laisheng Lei.

"what about the taste?"

Lai Sheng Lei leaned against the bar and asked Li Xindao.

Li Xin answered Lai Sheng Lei with a nod and a wolfing down of his food.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Li Xin has seriously eaten a dish made by Kishou Rui at Cat's Eye Cafe after visiting so many times. It was indeed delicious. It seems that not all the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department came for Kishou Rui's beauty.

After Li Xin finished eating, Lai Sheng Rui pushed a thick document in front of him, and on top of the document was a work ID.

"This is a detailed structural diagram of the Tsukamoto Group headquarters building that I had someone investigate, but I couldn't get a more specific security layout diagram."

Tears welled up in my eyes as I faced Li Xindao in my next life.

Li Xin held up his work ID card placed on top of the documents and asked, "What's this?"

“I’ve sent one of the bodyguards from the Tsukamoto Group’s security detail to South America for a vacation. You can use his identity for the next few days.”

Tears welled up in my eyes as I faced Li Xindao in my next life.

Looking at the photo on the work ID that didn't resemble him at all, Li Xin hesitated and said, "This doesn't seem like it can be fooled, does it?"

"It's alright, I'll disguise you."

Lai Sheng Lei said, "For ordinary access control, you can enter with just your work ID. Only higher-level places require verification methods such as fingerprint recognition. Once you enter the Tsukamoto Group's headquarters building, Ashin, with the structural diagram I gave you and your skills, you should be able to get close to Tsukamoto."

It was just a close call. Lai Sheng Lei didn't say that Li Xin could succeed because she knew that someone as afraid of death as Tsukamoto Kazuo would definitely have many skilled guards protecting him.

Compared to ordinary bodyguards, those experts are the biggest problem.

"Xiao Lei, then I'll have to trouble you."

Li Xin knew that it would be meaningless to express his gratitude at this moment; he could only keep the kindness of Sheng Lei firmly in his heart.

Lai Sheng Lei nodded, then pulled Li Xin upstairs. Lai Sheng Ai and Lai Sheng Tong followed cautiously. Before they had taken two steps, a card flew over and landed firmly in front of Lai Sheng Ai's toes.

"Oh no, Big Sister has found out!"

"Later Life Love exclaimed in surprise."

Lai Shengtong rolled her eyes and immediately said, "Xiao Ai, Junfu is finally off today. I made plans to go to the movies with him. It's almost time, so I'm leaving now!"

Seeing that Laisheng Tong had run away without any sense of loyalty, Laisheng Ai was furious. She also wanted to run away, but then she thought, "You can run away from the monk but you can't run away from the temple." Unless she ran away from home, she couldn't escape no matter what. She could only obediently accept her fate and go back to her room to lie down like a salted fish, waiting for Laisheng Lei to settle the score later.

Under the skillful hands of Lai Sheng Lei, Li Xin's face quickly changed, becoming exactly like the bodyguard on the work ID. Of course, there were still some differences in their physiques, but fortunately, the difference was not significant. After Lai Sheng Lei changed Li Xin's clothes and stuffed some padding under them, Li Xin looked 90% like the bodyguard named Okamoto Sho. Unless someone was extremely familiar with him, they would never be able to tell the difference.

"Alright, Ashin, that's all I can do to help you. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."

Lai Sheng Lei straightened Li Xin's collar and personally tied a tie for him.

Lai Sheng Lei did not try to dissuade Li Xin. If anyone posed a threat to her two younger sisters, she would eliminate them at all costs. However, she understood Li Xin and could only support him.

"I……"

Li Xin took a deep breath and said to Lai Sheng Lei, "I know."
