Chapter 129 You Are All My Wings
"I've had so many opportunities in America all these years."
Lin Xiuyi's voice carried a hint of accusation.
"But every time you showed up, you only stayed for a few days before leaving in a hurry. You yourself failed to seize the opportunity to win me over!"
Yukiko was both shocked and amused by his counterattack.
She released her grip on his soft flesh, then grabbed his cheeks with both hands and pulled them forcefully to the sides.
"Shuichi..."
The beautiful cook spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone full of helplessness and amusement.
"You rascal, I can't believe you're still so shameless at your age!"
Lin Xiuyi's cheeks were pulled so hard they were somewhat distorted, making her speech a little slurred, yet she still shamelessly persisted.
"Is it thick? I'm telling the truth."
"Is this the truth in your heart?" Yukiko released her grip and looked at him with amusement.
Her gaze held a tenderness of reminiscence, as if she were recalling something from many years ago.
"Back in high school, you actually dared to say that I and Eri would accompany you."
She paused, mimicking the tone of that boy from back then.
"And what's with the 'we are all your wings' thing?"
"I can say that now too."
Lin Xiuyi, shameless and without blushing, looked at her.
"Yukiko, stay here with Eri and keep me company, okay?"
Yukiko looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
That emotion flashed by so quickly that it was almost impossible to catch.
She gently broke free from her lover's embrace, took a step back, and reached out to straighten her clothes, which were slightly disheveled from his groping.
"Should I praise you for remaining true to your original aspirations after all these years?"
Yukiko said something mocking, but there was no real sarcasm in her tone.
She took off her apron and casually draped it over the back of the chair, then looked up at Lin Xiuyi.
The gaze became serious, no longer the teasing and joking of before.
"Tell me, why did you ask that question just now? Was it to test my identity? Or...?"
Lin Xiuyi was silent for a moment.
"...I need to speak with Sharon." He finally spoke, his tone tinged with helplessness.
Chris left so decisively last time. He didn't even leave him a way to contact him, as if he wanted to disappear from his life completely.
He knew it was her choice, and he respected it, so he didn't pursue her.
But now, because of the Miyano sisters, he has no choice but to ask her for help.
Lin Xiuyi knew quite a bit about the Black Organization, but it was all from what she had seen in anime in her previous life.
The plot was vivid and exciting on paper, but in reality, he didn't even know which hideouts the Black Organization had in Tokyo.
The only specific location I remember, the Mihana Iroha Sushi Restaurant, didn't have a one-eyed chef.
Now, even if we wanted to save them, we have absolutely no clue how.
While Akemi Miyano was a member of the Black Organization, she wasn't much better off than him.
She was originally an outsider, and her understanding of the organization was probably not as great as Lin Xiuyi's.
After Shuichi Akai's undercover identity was exposed, she was further ostracized and completely clueless about the Black Organization's situation in Tokyo, basically knowing nothing useful.
"You need to speak with Sharon?"
Yukiko tilted her head, her face full of confusion.
"But she's already passed away, isn't she? Didn't you go to her funeral?"
Lin Xiuyi looked at her. Didn't Yukiko know about Sharon's faked death?
He hesitated for a moment, then changed his question: "What about Chris? Can you contact her?"
"Chris Vineyard?" Yukiko shrugged coquettishly. "I'm not that close to her. How could I possibly have her contact information?"
Her tone was nonchalant, as if she truly had no connection with that big star.
"Is that so..."
Lin Xiuyi was about to give up and think of another way.
Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Lin Xiuyi took out her phone, looked down at the screen, and saw an email.
The moment he opened the email, his pupils contracted sharply.
There was only one picture in the email.
In the picture, Eri Kisaki is tightly bound to a chair with ropes.
Her mouth was taped shut, and her usually gentle and wise eyes were now facing the camera, filled with anger and defiance.
Lin Xiuyi's heart clenched suddenly.
"Eri!" he almost shouted.
The sound echoed in the kitchen, startling Yukiko so much that she instinctively took a step back.
Lin Xiuyi quickly dialed the number of Fei Yingli.
All I heard from the receiver was a busy signal.
He dialed again and again, getting the same result each time.
"hateful!"
Lin Xiuyi clenched his fist so tightly that his phone cracked as if he were about to crush it at any moment.
But he knew that now was not the time to be angry.
Lin Xiuyi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. A thought flashed through her mind: there was someone else who might know the situation.
He found Kuriyama Midori's phone number and dialed it.
The phone rang twice before being answered.
"Feed? Mr. Lin?" Midori Kuriyama's voice came through the receiver, tinged with doubt.
"Ms. Kuriyama, where is Eri now?" Lin Xiuyi asked urgently, getting straight to the point.
"What? Attorney Kiyoshi?" Kuriyama Midori was clearly taken aback. "Didn't you pick her up, Mr. Hayashi?"
Lin Xiuyi's heart sank.
"I picked them up?" he quickly asked. "What exactly happened?"
"It's this afternoon."
Although Kuriyama Midori was completely confused, she still tried her best to recall.
"Attorney Fei was originally planning to work overtime until the evening to handle a case. Then Mr. Lin, you came to the firm with a bouquet of roses and said you wanted to invite Attorney Fei to dinner."
"Attorney Fei didn't want to go at first, but she couldn't resist Mr. Lin's repeated requests, so she had no choice but to go with you in the end."
Kuriyama Midori paused, and finally, worry surfaced in her voice:
"Mr. Lin, what exactly happened? Fei…"
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xiuyi had already hung up the phone.
He lowered his arm, still holding his phone, the image on the screen still glaringly bright.
The kitchen was eerily quiet.
Only the soup pot on the stove was still bubbling away, and the sound seemed particularly jarring at that moment.
Yukiko stood to the side, watching his expression, and gradually realized the seriousness of the situation.
She didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Lin Xiuyi, waiting for him to speak.
After a long while, Lin Xiuyi slowly raised her head.
"Yukiko, there probably aren't many people who are skilled in disguise, right?"
"I only know three or four people."
Yukiko had already vaguely figured out the general outline of the matter from Hayashi Hideichi's hurried phone call.
Although she and Eri are rivals in love, they have also been friends for many years. Upon hearing that Eri is in danger, Yukiko immediately became anxious...
