Chapter 152 A Disrupted State Of Mind
Outside the Fujiwara Mansion, a black car sped by, its tires screeching against the ground, emitting an unpleasant "squeaking" sound.
"Hey, wait! There's a wall ahead!" Chen Huijie leaned against the passenger seat, gripping the handle tightly, pressing her back and seat together to create a sense of security.
"Hold on tight." Kirigiri Shimizu showed no intention of slowing down, stepping on the accelerator and sharply turning the steering wheel.
The black car left a long skid mark on the ground, as if flying through the air, heading straight towards the Fujiwara family's gate.
This antique-style gate was also made of wood, and even with reinforcements, it couldn't withstand the impact of a car.
With a loud bang, the entire wooden gate exploded and debris flew everywhere.
The front of the black car was completely deformed, but it continued its momentum, crashing straight inside.
Seeing this situation, the guards inside didn't dare to stop it and could only frantically call for backup through their earpieces.
"Ouch..." Chen Huijie clutched her chest. The impact just now suddenly made her body lurch forward, and her chest was tightly restrained by the seatbelt, as if she had been punched in the chest.
She felt the car still speeding, she was really confused, she looked at Kirigiri Shimizu.
She still looked cold, her foot kept pressing the accelerator.
There was noise and sirens behind the car, and even gunshots.
"Our mission is to sneak in, right?"
Chen Huijie began to doubt whether she had received a different mission from them.
"Get ready to jump out of the car," Kirigiri Shimizu's eyes looked ahead, pressing the accelerator while fastening the seatbelt.
Meanwhile, in the Fujiwara family reception room, Fujiwara Mieko had a cold expression, standing in the room, arms crossed, seemingly unconcerned about what was happening outside.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang outside the window, followed by a burst of flames, and they all felt the ground shake in the room.
"Madam, a black car has broken through the gate and rushed in," Souichiro held his earpiece:
"After the car came in, it exploded in the south main hall. Judging from the power of the explosion, the car was loaded with high explosives."
"All members of the security department, take up your weapons, surround this place, and the rest of you, keep to your positions. Don't act without orders," Fujiwara Mieko remained calm and composed and gave orders: "Wait for the police, fire department, and journalists to arrive."
"Alright, madam," said Ichiro solemnly as he adjusted his earpiece and began giving orders to mobilize the armed personnel of the Fujiwara family.
Fujiwara Mieko walked over to Mizusawa Ryo and gracefully sat on the sofa, crossing her legs elegantly and sipping from a cup of tea.
"Miss Mizusawa Ryo, before the reporters arrive, let's have a chat. What does your Special Affairs Bureau want today?"
Fujiwara Mieko didn't trust Mizusawa Ryo, but with the police arriving soon and the security personnel of the Fujiwara family already here to protect her, she couldn't think of a way to lose.
In her eyes, something was fishy from the very beginning. If Kirigiri Shimizu wanted to kill her, they would have chosen a moment when she was giving a speech outside or during an outdoor event.
But now, they had intruded into the Fujiwara residence, at a time when the security was at its strongest, leaving her confused.
Taking all these factors into account, she came up with a reasonable explanation: the Special Affairs Bureau was trying to intimidate her, not actually kill her. One playing the role of the bad cop, the other playing the good cop.
And right in front of her, Mizusawa Ryo was the person responsible for negotiations.
"Miss Ryo, there's no need to hide anymore at this point. It's better to have an open and honest conversation."
Under the command of Fujiwara Mieko, the Bamboo Union was cleared out by the Special Affairs Bureau. She also sent assassins after them, replacing them with ordinary people. It was a blood feud that would never end.
But she was a politician, and politics is the art of compromise and exchange. When the Special Affairs Bureau sent someone to negotiate, she was willing to talk.
However, Mizusawa Ryo was at a loss. She wasn't representing the Special Affairs Bureau in the negotiations. She was simply there to complete her mission and trap Kirigiri Shimizu, unable to complete her own mission.
But she never expected that Kirigiri Shimizu, that woman, would not play by the rules and would instead become unbeatable.
This made her very embarrassed.
"Seriously," Mizusawa Ryo slapped her forehead. "Conspiracy and trickery are clearly not my thing."
When she was in the Special Affairs Bureau, she always believed in action over thinking. She relied on her physical strength and never used her brain. Now that she's playing military strategy, it's no surprise that things have gone wrong.
"No more pretending, I'll come clean," Mizusawa Ryo shrugged, starting to act defeated. "Actually, I came here to assassinate you."
"What do you mean?" Fujiwara Mieko's expression froze. She had already deduced the correct answer from the actions of the Special Affairs Bureau, but Mizusawa Ryo's sudden statement made her feel like her brain cells had died for nothing.
She didn't think Mizusawa Ryo really came to assassinate her. It was too illogical, so she didn't move.
Mizusawa Ryo ignored her, stood up directly, turned around and kicked towards Souichiro.
Souichiro was wearing a black suit, standing upright, and gave her a powerful kick without any intention of avoiding it.
Mizusawa Ryo's left hand was behind her back, and her right hand was raised, blocking the way of her horizontal kick.
There was a dull "bang" sound, and Souichiro blocked the kick with one hand without moving his body.
"There is something." Mizusawa Ryo retracted her foot and looked at Souichiro with interest. Although the kick just now was not with full force, she was not a human, but a savage branch of demi-humans.
If it were an ordinary person, his arm would have been broken by his kick.
"Madam, please step back." Souichiro ignored Mizusawa Ryo and spoke to Mieko Fujiwara in a deep voice.
"Yes." Fujiwara Mieko nodded, obviously trusting him very much, stood up and silently stepped back for a distance.
She is still confused now and cannot understand the logic of Mizusawa Ryo's behavior at all.
Mizusawa Ryo was feeling very frustrated, and she didn't know what to do. She thought about exploiting a system bug, but now both of them were stuck here, and when the settlement time came, her mission would fail.
She could only fight first and then find a place to hide, waiting for the system to settle.
Before her stood Ichiro, and he piqued her interest. Even among the demi-humans, she was an incredibly powerful presence.
"You're quite strong. Why haven't I heard your name before?"
Souichiro ignored her, bent down, took a forceful step forward, and instantly appeared in front of Mizusawa Ryo.
Power gathered in his palm, and he slapped his hand forward.
"Yan Nation kung fu?" Mizusawa Ryo's expression froze, and she crossed her hands to defend her chest.
Ichiro's palm struck her arm, and Mizusawa Ryo was sent flying backwards.
"?" Ichiro was taken aback, furrowing his brows. He didn't think that this slap would have such an exaggerated power.
"You didn't expect this!" Mizusawa Ryo yelled as she flew through the air. "This is my escape route!"
She didn't want to confront Souichiro head-on. With his strength, she jumped back and broke through the glass, disappearing into the night.
"What the hell is this guy doing?!" Fujiwara Mieko couldn't control her emotions and shouted loudly.
