Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

Feeling the girl's body temperature in his arms, Su Qing stroked her hair and said:

"I'm here."

"Ah."

Su Qing's words were like a reassurance pill. Upon hearing that, Mahiru raised his head and smiled with relief.

"Will it make you uncomfortable if I hold you like this?"

After hugging for a while longer, Mahiru squirmed and looked a little embarrassed.

It was obvious that she wanted to maintain this koala posture because it would make her feel more at ease, but she was also worried about Su Qing's feelings and frowned in distress.

"No." Su Qing shrugged slightly as if remembering something funny, and said with a smile, "Anyway, you hugged me like this the whole night before we went to sleep last time."

"One, one night?!"

Mahiru's flustered voice suddenly rang out under the warm light, and her delicate, white neck beneath her messy hair instantly turned red.

Is her sleeping posture so bad? ! ! !

Ah...it must be because I always hold Xiao Pi in my arms when I sleep at night in the past few months.

So did she mistake Su Qing for Xiao Pi?

Bah, bah, bah, at most I mistake Xiao Pi for Su Qing!

Ah... it seems that this is not quite right...

A lively and lovely girl's mind is always active, especially in front of the person she likes.

Su Qing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth as he watched Mahiru's expression change.

"So just hold me with confidence, it's fine. I feel quite comfortable with you like this."

Su Qing felt a certain softness and said sincerely.

But Mahiru didn't understand the meaning of these words. She just nodded slightly and spoke softly.

"Since you've said that, I'll... not be polite."

"please."

The topic was briefly interrupted, but the two did not feel awkward because of it. Some people feel comfortable getting along with each other no matter what.

At this moment, they unexpectedly felt a sense of peace.

"Yui, should I be okay?"

After a while, maybe Mahiru was tired of hugging, or maybe she wanted to ask Su Qing some questions, so she sat up straight again.

After a brief silence, Su Qing said:

"It'll be fine. Didn't you just hear her say that she can eat a lot of food in one go? She looks pretty energetic, isn't she?

But the details will have to wait until the physical examination report comes out tomorrow."

What he said was very objective and reassuring.

Sometimes miracles really do happen in medicine, and perhaps they were witnessing a miracle.

"What about you? Are you okay?"

It seemed that this was the question Mahiru really wanted to ask. Her tone began to become anxious and her body leaned forward uncontrollably.

"Me?" Su Qing was stunned and asked incredulously, "What could happen to me? I'm fine, right?"

"That's not what I'm talking about. Tell me, is Yui's sudden awakening related to you?"

Mahiru's eyes contained an unclear light, which was illuminated brightly by the warm light. She didn't blink at all, but just stared at Su Qing.

"Ah."

Facing the clear and penetrating eyes before him, it was extremely difficult for Su Qing to lie to him.

He nodded in acknowledgment.

After all, Yui woke up immediately after he said those words, and even a fool would know that it was related to him.

Do you really think that people in real life are as stupid as the ones in Conan's recent episodes?

That's just pressing your own IQ to the ground and letting others rub against you.

But Su Qing had to do that in front of everyone.

First of all, Yui's parents will never leave her side. Even if Su Qing really finds time to be alone with her, does he dare to bet that he can still save Yui by then?

"Sure enough..." Mahiru muttered to herself, her expression becoming more and more solemn. She suddenly held Su Qing's face and asked seriously, word by word.

“I won’t ask you how you saved Yui and made her wake up.

I just want to know if that would cause you any harm."

"No." Su Qing answered quickly.

"Really? No side effects?" Mahiru confirmed again.

It’s not that she didn’t trust Su Qing, she was just afraid.

"Really not, trust me."

Su Qing left the sofa, jumped twice in front of Mahiru, then spread his hands with a smile on his face.

"Look, I can jump and run around, and I just ate a big bowl of ramen, do you think I look like something's wrong?

Or should I go downstairs and run a thousand meters for you to see?

Besides, the side effects are completely fictitious. How can superpowers be so inconvenient?"

He really wasn't lying to Mahiru.

The so-called [half heart] does not mean that he only has half a heart now. If he only has half a heart, is he still a human being?

Although he is not quite human in a sense...

Mahiru raised her eyes and stared at the boy's face for a long time. Seeing that his complexion was rosy, as always, she was completely relieved.

Perhaps she was too nervous just now and she burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, I know you're fine. You don't need to run a thousand meters or anything like that. I trust you."

Su Qing heard this and sat down with a smile, "Really not necessary?"

"Really!" Mahiru pouted in anger, eyes flickering, "I want to... go to bed early today..."

Su Qing smiled even more, "Okay, I'll go wash up, why don't you wait for me in bed first?"

"Eh...? I see..."

Wait for me in bed?

Why does this sentence sound so strange?

The girl stood up and walked towards the room, thinking deeply, but she almost fell down because she was not paying attention.

After hearing the voice, Su Qing looked back at the figure with his head shrunk and shouted, "Focus on walking."

"You heard me wrong, I'm not some idiot who can't even walk!"

Mahiru didn't dare turn her head. Her lips were pink and red, but the words she said were unexpectedly tough.

Seeing the other person's figure disappear into the darkness of his room, Su Qing just smiled and stopped talking.

……

After washing up and returning to the room, he found Mahiru playing with his tablet, which he must have just brought over.

As for the password, I already knew it because I had promised to teach the other party basic comic knowledge.

Noticing Su Qing coming, Zhenri turned over the tablet like a good child, held it near his chin, and spoke quickly.

"I didn't do anything bad, I was just bored and wanted to look at the comics you drew.

After all, it is more convenient to watch on a tablet than on a mobile phone."

"The Ultra Beast Armor?"

"Hmm. Or did you start a new comic?"

"No, I probably won't draw comics anymore." Su Qing sat side by side with Mahiru and took the tablet from her.

"Hey, why? Isn't the grade of this book very good now? Many people in the class were discussing it before the holiday."

Mahiru looked confused.

I've never heard of anyone giving up because their grades were too good.

Moreover, she had heard that some unsuccessful authors managed to write up to 900,000 words with only a few dollars a day in royalties.

“I said it at the beginning, comics is just a side job at best.

I just had a story in my mind that I wanted to tell, and now that story is over, the side job is over too.

It just so happens that I just drew the ending, and you are the first reader after the editor-in-chief."

Su Qing smiled as he handed the ending to Mahiru, and after the girl finished reading it, he asked.

"How was it? Any comments? Do you think it's a bad ending?"

"Evaluation?" Mahiru was stunned, then entangled her hair with her fingertips and spoke while thinking.

“To be honest, I don’t really understand the combat elements, I came here for the philosophy.

If I were to give a review, it might not be very objective.

But I think this is the ending that this story should have, and it’s a great ending.”

The girl smiled brightly, and there was a brightness in her eyes that could melt ice and snow.

Su Qing also smiled and said, "Really? That's good..."

Although she was still a little nervous, it was her second time after all, so Mahiru seemed somewhat familiar with the process.

Before going to bed, Mahiru suddenly asked, "Qing, is there someone who wants to harm you, and was that person sent by someone else today?"

"You've watched too many TV dramas? It's so complicated." Su Qing shook his head and said, "It must be that the person's mental state is problematic and he has bad luck."

"I think so." Mahiru lay on the bed, curled up, and faced Su Qing's face with a serious expression, "Next time, I will protect you well."

"There won't be a next time, idiot."

Su Qing rarely flicked Mahiru's forehead, then said, "Go to sleep."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

At that time, it was 23:30.

……

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Su Qing's eyes suddenly opened.

There was no alarm clock, nor was I awakened by a nightmare.

He didn't actually sleep.

He opened his eyes and stared at Mahiru's sleeping face for a while in the dim light that came from nowhere. After confirming that the other party was fast asleep, Su Qing got up quietly and left the room.

at the same time.

A black business sedan stopped downstairs of the apartment building where they lived at some point.

As soon as Su Qing got off, the car door opened immediately and a capable woman with short hair got out.

"Mr. Su, right? My eldest daughter has been waiting for a long time."

"Drive, I'm in a hurry."

"Understood, Miss, let me satisfy you unconditionally."

The car door closed, and the black sedan started, disappearing into the darkness in the distance.

What no one noticed was that the curtains in the room on the sixth floor of the apartment moved slightly.

The girl lowered her eyes, and her sight seemed to drift away as the car drove away.

"Qing, why... did you hide it from me..."

……

The black car was running at an astonishing speed in the darkness and soon arrived at its destination.

Su Qing got out of the car, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around.

If I'm not mistaken, this is Tokyo Bay, right?

The short-haired woman pointed to a container respectfully and said, "The young lady is just ahead. Please."

Su Qing ignored him and walked in.

The space in the container is not very large, but there are quite a few people inside, including several burly bodyguards wearing black suits.

Yang Nai was sitting on a chair. In front of him were two men in their fifties or sixties, but they were both tied up tightly with iron chains.

"Yang Nao, please let us go. We watched you grow up when you were a child."

one of the men cried.

Yang Nai was still thinking about when Su Qing would come. When he heard his plea, he frowned and instructed the people around him:

"Shut their mouths."

“Nooooooooo…”

"Is it just the two of them?"

The ghostly voice echoed in Yang Nai's ears, instantly giving him goose bumps.

"When did you come? No, why didn't anyone call me?"

Yang Nai stood up subconsciously. There were two bodyguards guarding the door, and they should have told her if someone came in.

"The bodyguard you hired is no good either."

Su Qing moved aside to allow Yang Nai to see the two bodies lying in a mess at the door.

This is...being knocked unconscious by Su Qing?

The corners of Yang Nai's lips twitched. What the hell? Even if he was killing two stray dogs on the roadside, the stray dogs would bark a few times, right?

"I was in a bad mood, so I hit him a little too hard." Su Qing said calmly, then looked at Yang Nai with a half-smile.

"I heard that you will become the official head of the family next month? I don't think I have congratulated you yet. Congratulations."

"I know this isn't a very appropriate statement, but... I'm sorry."

Yang Nai heard the hidden meaning in the boy's words, and also understood that the two bodyguards were giving him a warning, or a way to vent his anger.

After saying that, she bowed deeply to Su Qing.

The others present were all stunned. What was the identity of this handsome young man?

"No need to apologize, I don't want to stay too long and waste too much time.

I just want to know, are these the only two people?"

Su Qing walked forward and glanced coldly at the two tied men.

As early as when he was anxiously waiting for Yui in the operating room, he realized that the killer must be from within Yukinoshita, and the message sent by Haruno after drawing the comics also confirmed this.

"Well, there's also the young man they sent over, but the hospital said he's likely to be in a vegetable state for life."

Yang Nai said with a headache.

This matter shouldn't be like this. How could it escalate to the point of human loss of life?

As a result, these two people chose someone with a bit of a mental problem, so they could find anyone else to do it, and assassinate him in public. Isn't this just pure stupidity?

It is true that the bad guys’ painstaking efforts are not as good as the stupid people’s sudden inspiration…

"I want to know why you sent someone to kill me?"

Su Qing half squatted down and took the socks out of one of the people's mouth.

On the side, a bodyguard scratched his head embarrassedly, wondering where to put that thing in someone's mouth. Fortunately, he thought quickly and took off two pairs of socks, hehe.

Promotion and salary increase are just around the corner.

"I, we don't know either. We found out that Yang Noi became a different person after coming back from contact with you. We thought you were provoked, but we just wanted to teach you a lesson. We never thought of killing you, wuwu..."

After stuffing the socks back into his clothes, Su Qing looked at the other person, as if to confirm.

The other person nodded desperately, with a hopeful look in his eyes, and said, "Help me take this sock off quickly!"

But Su Qing ignored him. He just stood up, and his black eyes looked down at the two of them like a god.

He suddenly chuckled, like a faint mockery, and his originally overwhelming anger suddenly became dull.

It was these two idiots who almost killed Yui...

"What are you going to do?" Su Qing asked softly.

"Well... this is my first time doing something like this, too. What do you think of sinking it into Tokyo Bay?"

As soon as Yang Nai finished speaking, the two men began to struggle violently.

"..."

Su Qing didn't say anything. He turned around and stared at the two of them, and found that their faces were somewhat similar.

"Are they brothers?"

"Ah."

After getting Yang Nai's affirmation, Su Qing laughed.

“What kind of third-rate novel plot is sinking in Tokyo Bay?

Since we are brothers, let’s do this.

Put them in the same cage, prepare two keys for both of them to swallow, and prepare two oxygen cylinders.

What is the maximum diving depth humans can go with equipment? 531 meters?

Never mind. "

Su Qing squatted down again, looked at the two of them, still smiling, and whispered like a devil.

"Do you know what it feels like to wait? Have you ever regretted it?

Even if you didn't mean to do it, but I accidentally killed your mother, can I just say sorry and nothing will happen?

So...I believe you can set a new record.

The prerequisite is to get the key and get enough oxygen."

Great panic flashed across the eyes of the two men. The threat of death made them feel suffocated at this moment. No one wanted to die.

But it was already too late.

Yang Nai had already left with Su Qing, and never thought of giving them the option to live.

The sea breeze is noisy.

Su Qing said: "Can you guarantee that their families won't cause trouble for me?"

"I promise."

"I'll trust you for the last time." Su Qing had already gotten into the car. He said this before closing the door.

"But you'd better be careful. It was me this time, but who knows, it might be you or your sister next time..."

Exhaust gas rose from the rear of the car, and Yang Nai looked at the car and smiled bitterly.

Everyone knows that she cares about her sister the most, so isn't this still not trusting her?

……

Never mind, it was indeed because she wasn't ruthless enough.

……

When Su Qing returned to the room, it was not yet four o'clock, which shows how efficient he was.

After changing his clothes in the living room, he tiptoed back to his room and returned to bed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got on the bed, Mahiru suddenly reached out her hand and hugged him tightly.

Mahiru didn't sleep? !

Su Qing was stunned, but after listening carefully to the girl's breathing, it was clear that she was asleep.

Only then did he feel relieved.

There was a moon outside the window. In the moonlight, Su Qing stared at Mahiru's face for a long time.

After a while, he slowly closed his eyes.

Mahiru, don't blame me for hiding it from you...

……
