Chapter 28 Dad Will Protect You
"Uh, thank you," Li Xia's expression was strange, but he didn't refuse. He had only heard about the future daughter concept briefly, but he could tell that the words of protection just now came from the bottom of her heart, and he was inexplicably moved to hear them from such a beautiful lady.
"Let's go quickly, keep going up, we'll be saved when the police come," Chen Huijie, who prioritized the mission, was different from Kirigiri Shimizu.
She had a strong sense of justice, feeling guilty for involving Li Xia in this strange event that she should have protected him from, and knowing that there might be many unpredictable things happening later on.
Li Xia was led by her and ran upstairs like this. Chen Huijie was actually a head shorter than Li Xia, but she appeared much more mature, and people could tell at a glance the age difference between the two.
The pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer, their footsteps becoming more and more frequent, and soon the two of them were chased to the rooftop.
From afar, they could see Yagami Tsubame standing there, looking at them with a half-smile. "We meet again."
"Wow, what a coincidence," Li Xia forced a smile. "Why do you have to bother me?"
After saying this, he glanced behind him. The pursuers did not follow them up to the rooftop. Instead, they stood in an orderly manner at the staircase, both men and women of different ages. Blending into the crowd, they didn't look out of place. They had no expressions on their faces as they stood there, blocking the way behind.
"Bother you?" Yagami Tsubame sneered. "The prey I've set my eyes on will definitely be mine."
"Are you talking about the one with a big chest?" Li Xia made a gesture, squinting his eyes. "I see, so it seems like you couldn't find her."
Li Xia didn't know exactly what had happened. He had very little information. According to Komachi Akane, ghouls were extremely cautious in their actions.
But now they had come looking for him twice, and with Yagami Tsubame's interest in Fujino that she showed yesterday, he could roughly deduce that Yagami Tsubame really wanted to find Fujino and was willing to cause such a big commotion for it.
"You're a clever little guy," Yagami Tsubame didn't deny it either. Suddenly, she moved forward and in an instant, stood in front of Chen Huijie.
Chen Huijie swung the blade, but Yagami Tsubame easily swatted it away. At the same time, she grabbed hold of Chen Huijie's neck and effortlessly lifted her up, instantly rendering her powerless in the fight.
"Wait, don't hurt her!" Li Xia quickly spoke up. "I know where the person you're looking for is."
"You have only ten seconds to gain my trust," Yagami Tsubame said, tightening her grip with both hands. Chen Huijie's face turned red, and she desperately tried to break free, but the difference in strength between them made all her efforts in vain.
Nevertheless, Chen Huijie still stared at Yagami Tsubame with wide eyes, showing no signs of weakness.
"Nice look in your eyes," Yagami Tsubame said, applying more pressure with her palm. Chen Huijie's face turned pale due to lack of oxygen, and her throat was constricted, preventing her from making any sound.
Yet, her gaze still showed no hint of weakness. Yagami Tsubame turned to Li Xia and said, "You have 8 seconds left."
"I'll be your hostage and take you to find Fujino," Li Xia said with a stern expression, hurriedly.
"6 seconds." Yagami Tsubame continued to count, while her palm exerted force again, and Li Xia seemed to hear the sound of bones rubbing.
"I won't bring any communication devices. I'll go find Fujino alone with you." Li Xia tried to calm himself down. "If I walk with you, with your strength, you could kill me in just a second. If I lead you into a trap, I believe you would be able to detect it beforehand. There's no point in sacrificing my life to buy time. It means nothing to me!"
"Not a bad proposal," Yagami Tsubame said, loosening her grip on Li Xia's palm. "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you afterward?"
"Because I still have use for you!" Li Xia hurriedly said, "It's risky for you to personally carry out your cannibalism, but I can cooperate with you. This world is too boring, I've long stopped wanting to be human!"
"Very interesting," Yagami Tsubame said, releasing her hold after listening. Chen Huijie fell directly to the ground due to a brief lack of oxygen, saliva dripping from her mouth. The moment she landed, she was about to grab the blade.
Li Xia quickly stepped forward, reaching out with both hands to embrace her. Chen Huijie clearly didn't expect Li Xia to suddenly hug her, her movements froze, unable to stop it in time, and she felt her chest pressed against this younger boy.
"Don't move," Li Xia whispered in her ear, "You said you're a daughter, so trust that Dad will protect you."
"...," Chen Huijie felt extremely embarrassed, as if she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment from the awkwardness, and even the sense of humiliation from the battle had disappeared a lot.
Li Xia let go of her hand. To be honest, this beautiful lady looked fierce, but unexpectedly had a soft body and smelled good.
"Let's go," Li Xia turned to Yagami Tsubame, "I can't wait to join you."
"Hmph," Yagami Tsubame glanced at Li Xia, she didn't believe his nonsense, but his proposal was indeed flawless.
Although he was leading the way, the decision was ultimately in Yagami Tsubame's hands. After all, she wasn't stupid and wouldn't go to dangerous places.
As long as she catch him, even if he tries to play tricks this time, she has a hundred ways to make him talk.
After saying that, she pointed at Chen Huijie, intending to have her be watched by her subordinates.
"Take her with us," Li Xia said with a smile. "Her true identity is a police officer, and it would be easy for something to go wrong if your subordinates watch her alone."
"Oh?" Yagami Tsubame's gaze at Li Xia became playful, and at this moment, she truly believed that Li Xia might actually want to join their team. "Give me a reason."
"There are many ways to control a woman," Li Xia laughed. "Considering her identity, if she could cooperate with us, many of our actions would be much more convenient."
"Okay," Yagami Tsubame nodded. Although she didn't believe Li Xia, these suggestions didn't harm her, so she could listen.
"Let's go, I can't wait to see the desperate look on that woman's face," Li Xia said, licking her tongue, resembling a pervert.
"I really like your expression," Yagami Tsubame reached out and hooked Li Xia's chin, whispering in his ear, "Since you're joining us, of course, I won't let you work for nothing. When it's time to eat, you can have your share first."
"Go," Yagami Tsubame said and walked downstairs without any concern for Li Xia and Chen Huijie behind her. With her guard up, the two of them couldn't harm her at all.
When the group arrived at the mall, the police had already come and were conducting an investigation at the café.
Yagami Tsubame and her ghoul subordinates blended into the crowd without attracting anyone's attention, and everyone easily left the mall like that.
