Siheyuan: Cooking journey

He Yuzhu muttered to himself, but didn't say anything more. He just nodded, pushed open the car door and prepared to get out.

Assistant Ye turned his head and glanced at him. Suddenly, he felt a little irritated. He pursed his lips, looked straight ahead, and reminded him coldly: "If something unexpected happens and the mission fails, don't go back to the slums or look for the people from the South Team. Go directly to 367 Nishi-Nippori -chome. Don't go anywhere else. I will find you."

"OK......"

He Yuzhu responded indifferently, then quietly closed the car door, got out, and looked towards the bustling street.

in the car.

Assistant Ye silently watched his back disappear into the crowd, holding his forehead with his hand and biting his lower lip tightly. Although he had only met him twice, he somehow felt that this person was very different.

Do you think his eyes are pretty?

Or was it because he had never looked at his scars strangely?

Perhaps it was his calm attitude at all times that attracted her - neither too flattering nor too self-deprecating, as if he didn't care about anything. He was so indifferent even to Team Leader Hosokawa and even to his own identity.

But why did he feel so special? Now, Assistant Ye was just feeling annoyed.

......

Outside Springfield Department Store.

He Yuzhu looked up at the sign, pressed down the brim of his hat, and calmly walked into the mall.

Although this face is not a real face, it should be cherished and protected. After all, it takes some effort to create a face that looks inconspicuous.

Therefore,

He Yuzhu deliberately disguised himself, wearing a mask and a hat, making sure that no one could recognize him.

Even if someone recognizes me, it’s no big deal. At most, I’ll just be a substitute.

As soon as I entered the lobby on the first floor, I saw people coming and going.

moment,

He Yuzhu was feeling a little irritated.

There are so many people in this building, how can I find Yukiko Nakamori?

I thought of the tip that Assistant Ye had mentioned: she might go to a dessert shop after shopping.

So He Yuzhu decided to go there first to try his luck.

As a result, when we arrived at the dessert area on the second floor underground,

The mood becomes more irritable.

There are several different dessert shops on this floor, which one should I choose?

Assistant Ye did not give any specific details.

When I was struggling with this problem,

People kept looking over at me from all directions.

Someone said it well, when you stare at others, others are also watching you.

original,

He Yuzhu doesn't care about other people's attention.

But gradually, these prying eyes became more and more frequent, and several strangers kept walking around.

After realizing this situation, He Yuzhu deliberately coughed a few times, took off his mask and hat, and waved them in his hands like a fan.

Such an obvious action naturally attracted a lot of attention, and the attention of passers-by became more obvious.

After realizing all this,

He Yuzhu immediately realized that there might be some kind of surveillance here, perhaps as a security measure, or some unknown force was looking for a suspicious person; and his own secretive appearance just happened to fit the characteristics of a potential target. He decisively changed his appearance.

After walking around for a while,

I noticed that there were fewer eyes staring at me than before.

While breathing a sigh of relief,

He Yuzhu also confirmed his judgment.

These people were not actually targeting him specifically. It was mainly because he was dressed too well at the beginning and aroused their vigilance. If he had not adjusted his appearance in time, he would have been captured long ago.

under these circumstances,

Either some important person has quietly come to this place and needs to be protected;

Either someone is setting a trap to catch someone.

Strolled around the dessert area for a while.

He Yuzhu noticed the figure of Yukiko Nakamori.

She is even more beautiful in person than she looks in the photo, with eyes as clear as autumn water, fresh and sweet.

She seemed to be in a bad mood at this moment. She was sitting alone in a booth of a dessert shop, staring blankly at the ice cream in front of her.

At the same time, I saw her moment.

He Yuzhu also noticed several strangers wandering around.

After pretending to walk into the dessert shop casually, those people quickly approached and cleverly blocked the path leading to Yukiko Nakamori.

For this reaction...

He Yuzhu frowned, then relaxed, bought a drink from the store, and left while drinking.

As soon as you leave the store.

The few people who had just followed for a while before dispersing.

From this point of view.

He Yuzhu can basically conclude that these guys disguised as ordinary people are actually secretly protecting Yukiko Nakamori's safety.

With such a professional team accompanying you on a daily basis,

This shows that the strength and reputation of the Nakamori family are not inferior even among the five major political families and the six major financial groups.

You know, it is very expensive to support such a team of elite soldiers.

No wonder their family has enjoyed such a high status in Japan for so long.

With such tight protection,

It is simply a fantasy to want to take Yukiko Nakamori away.

Not to mention taking it away by force, it’s even difficult to get close to it.

Of course, this is just the perspective of outsiders.

But for He Yuzhu, kidnapping Yukiko Nakamori was not a difficult task; instead, he found it very easy.

now,

Compared to the kidnapping itself.

He was more concerned about whether Assistant Ye knew about this security measure. If he didn't know, it would be reasonable to send someone here to carry out such a task; but if he knew all this and still arranged this operation, then the motive behind it was worth pondering.

Combined with the previous analysis,

He doesn't seem to care too much about his background.

And we specially chose a new member who had joined not long ago to do this.

This made He Yuzhu suspect that perhaps Assistant Ye knew that there was a force here that was specifically designed to protect Miss Xue Zi.

So what is the reason for taking action even though you know the truth?

Maybe he just wanted to give Yamamoto Suke a warning through this action: don't continue the investigation.

Because the real purpose was not hijacking, he did not care too much about whether his identity would be discovered, and simply chose to sacrifice the new member.

But this will create new problems.

Before leaving, Assistant Ye also gave an address in case of emergency, which did not seem like a completely reckless act.

Or maybe the place itself is a trap.

Logically speaking, if the plan fails and the person manages to escape the police, he will have nowhere else to go and will have to seek help from this place.

At that time, it will be directly handed over to the Shanhai Gang for handling.

It is possible that he was silenced or used as a scapegoat by the Nakamori family.

These complex doubts were intertwined in his mind.

However, He Yuzhu did not delve deeper into the matter because he was faced with two choices:

The first is to try to kidnap Yukiko Nakamori according to the established plan.

The second is to give up on it completely.

Given the presence of such a tight security team, there is actually no need to worry about the other party actually falling into the hands of the enemy.

After thinking for a moment,

He Yuzhu smiled slightly.

If his guess was correct, it clearly showed that Assistant Ye had never thought of actually carrying out this kidnapping.

It also indirectly reflects that even a powerful organization like the Shanhai Gang does not dare to rashly challenge the status of these two major families.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a single person to break through numerous obstacles and take away the target.

But what if, miraculously, it happened?

Thinking of the shocked expression that might appear at that time,

He Yuzhu found it very interesting.

However, harming innocent people just to satisfy personal curiosity is obviously unacceptable behavior.

The reason why I want to continue,

This is because the power of the Yamamoto family and the Nakamori family cannot be underestimated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he instigated conflicts between the two families and the Shanhai Gang.

If people from both the black and white worlds act together, the Shanhai Gang will definitely have a hard time.

"Jingle Bell……"

The piercing sound of the fire alarm echoed throughout the basement.

Ginza is the most prosperous area in Tokyo and is equipped with top-level security systems. But over the years, there has never been a real fire here.

So when this sudden sound rang out, many people were stunned and looked around, not knowing what was going on.

"It's on fire, run..."

Suddenly, someone shouted, and smoke began to appear in a corner. The sprinkler system above the head also started to work, spraying water out. In an instant, everyone panicked, and there were noises and screams one after another, and everyone rushed to the elevator.

"Don't take the elevator, escape via the stairs!"

As another person shouted, the originally chaotic crowd seemed to find their direction and quickly rushed towards the emergency exit.

At this time, the scene inside the dessert shop was also in chaos.

The sprinklers were spraying water everywhere.

Yukiko Nakamori stood up in shock and looked at the chaotic crowd outside. She was suddenly at a loss and her mind went blank.

"Ms. Yukiko, something has happened. Please follow us quickly." A staff member approached quickly and said anxiously.

Yukiko Nakamori knew someone was protecting her, so she calmed down a little and nodded quickly. She didn't buy much this time, and now that she thinks about it, those things are not important.

She didn't take anything and left the dessert shop immediately.

A dozen passers-by quickly gathered around Yukiko Nakamori, forming a human wall and trying to clear a path for her in the chaos.

Yukiko Nakamori walked in the middle with her head down, occasionally looking up at the panicked crowd around her. Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, and she desperately wanted to escape the scene.

The security guards escorting her were even more nervous than she was. They pushed aside the crowd blocking their way and tried to move forward.

However, when they arrived at the stairs, they found that it was already crowded with people. The strength of a dozen people seemed insignificant in the face of this huge flow of people.

People were scrambling and pushing each other forward, and in an instant the team they had formed with great difficulty was dispersed.

In this situation,

Yukiko Nakamori was so scared that she didn't know what to do, and she was pushed forward by the crowd. In the chaos, she stumbled and fell into a strong embrace, and then lost consciousness.
