192: Chapter 19 I Want to Go Home_2 192: Chapter 19 I Want to Go Home_2 Hearing those words, Kotomi stared at Tang Zheng, as if her heart had been pierced by that statement, ‘my Kotomi-chan.’ She was incredibly moved.
Little Fan Fan timely jumped out at them and threw over a thick stack of Japanese Yen, “This is for your medical expenses.”
“This is mine.” Seeing an adorable little loli throwing several hundred thousand yen on the ground, the crooks’ eyes almost bulged out — their mournful cries weakened significantly.
As soon as they regained their composure, they began scrambling for the money, then started arguing about whose injury was worse and who deserved more money.
They cursed at each other, accusing one another of pretending — and in less than a minute, they were fighting over the uneven distribution of the currency, even starting to get physical.
“Keep your brawl away.” Tang Zheng cursed and pulled Kotomi into the house.
Little Fan Fan was thrilled; how fulfilling it was to disrupt a team by using a bit of money.
Kotomi was heartbroken to see those who’d declared they were her companions disregarding her completely and only interested in grabbing money.
She understood why these people wanted to play with her — it was nothing more than their intent to trick her into selling herself to earn a referral fee.
She had foolishly hoped that they wouldn’t do this after becoming friends.
“My sister performs poorly at school, so the high-achieving students don’t associate with her, and the lower-performing ones look down on her.
She’s always been isolated.”
“This handsome guy probably doesn’t like my mom’s ordinary looks, so maybe I still have a chance.
Should I ask for his email address?” As Kotomi was contemplating the relationship between Tang Zheng and her mother, she heard her sister revealing her past secrets.
She was about to retort when she felt a large hand cover her mouth from behind, her hands were restrained, and she heard a heartbreaking sentence.
“I am a bad person!” Tang Zheng shrugged, “I hope you don’t scream, otherwise, all three of you mother and daughters will die.”
Seeing her sister nod in agreement to his statement, Kotomi instantly felt a pang of fear, her legs could barely support her body, and she almost collapsed on the ground.
“Let’s go.
Go back to the bedroom on the second floor with me.” Tang Zheng took out a handgun.
Even though he could subdue them with his bare hands, he didn’t want to take the risk that they might attempt to resist.
“Have you heard of Chikashima Airi?” Tang Zheng routinely asked, though he was not hopeful for a response.
“Airi?
Is she the girl who works part-time at the Lucky Convenience Store?” Inoue Kotomi, unexpectedly responded, to the surprise of Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo.
“What?” Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo stopped in their tracks and exchanged glances, while Little Fan Fan spoke up impatiently, “Uncle, show her the picture.”
Tang Zheng slapped his forehead, realizing that he had forgotten to do that.
He quickly took out the photo and handed it to her.
“Is it this girl?” Lin Weiguo’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
He was already fed up with this aimless searching and travel.
It was exhausting.
“Yes, it’s her.
I heard someone call her Chikashima Airi.” Inoue Kotomi nodded, “What’s your relationship with her?”
“That’s none of your business.” Little Fan Fan replied, and then jumped up in joy, “Uncle, shall we go now?”
“Is the convenience store open at night?
When does that girl usually work?” Tang Zheng suppressed his elation and asked Kotomi.
“Sundays, and during the day on Saturdays, I think.
But I’m not entirely sure.” Kotomi was now a little confused.
If they were robbers, why were they so polite?
Plus, there wasn’t anything valuable in her home.
Could they be after something else?
The thought barely crossed her mind when she dismissed it, seeing three beautiful Chinese women step out.
“What do these people want to do?” Not only was Kotomi confused, Chizuru was also bewildered.
“What do they want with Airi?
And why do they seem so anxious?”
“We’re in luck.
Today is Friday, and we can meet her tomorrow.” Tang Zheng was visibly pleased.
He had been concerned because the address was from thirty years ago, and he was worried that Chikashima Airi’s picture was also from then, and she might now be a middle-aged woman.
Now that he’d heard Kotomi confirm, he finally felt a sense of relief.
“I hope nothing else goes wrong.” Pang Meiqin clasped her hands in prayer, casually suggesting, “Shall we stake out the place now?”
“Go stand there like a lamppost in the middle of the night?
Just go to sleep and rest up.” Little Fan Fan dismissed them with a wave of her hand.
“Go to sleep, no need to keep watch.” Tang Zheng, unusually, gave everyone a break.
Watching the three flight attendants and Lin Weiguo leave, Tang Zheng brought the two sisters into Aiko’s room.
Inoue Chizuru dove in and hugged her mother.
Kotomi stepped forward but, seeing this scene, stepped back and feigned indifference.
“Sorry, but I have to tie you up.” Tang Zheng spoke, then turned to Little Fan Fan, “Go to the living room and bring back six million yen.”
Little Fan Fan nodded and hurriedly ran out.
On hearing about the money, Inoue Kotomi’s eyes lit up, and she started scheming.
“We won’t call for help, don’t tie us up, or just tie me up.” Seeing Tang Zheng silent, walking towards her with the parachute rope, Aiko suddenly leaped up and pounced on him.
Tang Zheng instinctively wanted to kick out, but instead found that Aiko was not making an aggressive move; she wanted to hug him instead.
“I’ll be with you, I’ll do anything, just don’t abuse my two daughters.” As Aiko embraced Tang Zheng, she moved to kiss his cheek.
Tang Zheng pushed her away with a swing of his hand.
“You don’t fancy my mother?
Then it’s me.” Inoue Kotomi jumped out and threw herself into Tang Zheng’s arms, “I can be with you, but not for them, for money.
But please don’t harass them.”
“Still a tsundere, huh?” Tang Zheng thought the girl was pretty, but he wasn’t interested.
He admired the cool exterior and warm interior of Inoue Chizuru more.
At that moment, her younger sister clenched her fists, looking worriedly at her elder sister.
“Uncle, here is the money.” Little Fan Fan walked into the room with the mountaineering bag, saw the scene, and immediately puffed up her cheeks, muttering that Uncle was hers.
Tang Zheng patted Inoue Kotomi’s back, signaling her to let go of him.
He then went to the mountaineering bag, unzipped it, and a stack of brand new Japanese yen messily piled up, appearing in front of everyone.
“After we leave tomorrow, this money is yours, with no strings attached.” Tang Zheng believed that they would definitely not go around talking about the windfall.
As Aiko smelled the ink scent of the banknotes, she swallowed hard.
It was her two-year salary.
In an instant, she felt that tonight was her lucky day.
“He didn’t really do anything to us?” Aiko remembered that Tang Zheng didn’t take advantage of tying her up.
She guessed he might be a gentleman.
“No, maybe he couldn’t.”
Thinking about this, Aiko involuntarily turned her gaze to Tang Zheng’s lower body, and to her embarrassment, her eldest daughter spotted her glance immediately and her cheeks instantly turned red.
“Humph!
Tie me up then, but I want to sleep next door.” Inoue Kotomi was angry; she felt that she failed to grasp the biggest opportunity in her life.
“Why tie them up together and not gag them?
It’s not safe.” Little Fan Fan came out of the room, still holding a grudge about Inoue Kotomi hugging Tang Zheng.
“Let them talk to each other.
In a predicament, people always hope to find someone to rely on.
Don’t you think that after tonight, their relationship will improve?” Tang Zheng didn’t worry that they could escape.
He would keep watch outside the door for the night.
“Uncle, you’re too kind.” Little Fan Fan came out with a quilt, laid it on the ground, patted it, signaling Tang Zheng to sit here, “To avoid boredom, I’ll tell you a story.”
“Isn’t that role reversal?
Shouldn’t I be the one telling the story?” Tang Zheng ruffled Little Fan Fan’s hair, and the little loli leaned against his leg.
“I hate it, uncle, I want snacks from 2040!” Little Fan Fan started to act spoiled.
“No problem.” Tang Zheng smiled.
Children just couldn’t change their gluttonous habits.
“I want to read comics from 2040.” Little Fan Fan didn’t give up.
“No problem.” Tang Zheng touched the little loli’s head indulgently.
“I want to go home!”
“…” Tang Zheng’s hand paused.
After a moment of silence, he continued to stroke her hair, then definitively uttered his promise.
“No problem.”
Silver moonlight filtered through the second-floor window into the corridor, casting mottled shadows.
The gentle spring breeze blew softly, creating a tranquil night, filled with the sweet murmurs of the little loli’s dreams!
……
ps, the girl who will be pushed is about to appear!
