Chapter 196 The Bad Woman
Uemon Chounan lay on the operating table, with a pale complexion and no hint of color in his face, a faint smell of blood lingering in the air.
"He is temporarily out of danger," the middle-aged doctor's expression was grim as he looked at the two.
"When will he wake up?" Mizusawa Ryo furrowed her brow, looking at Uemon Chounan. They had just been discussing how to deal with terrorists, and then he collapsed. Moreover, it happened during an attack on the Special Affairs Bureau, indicating that dangerous individuals had infiltrated.
"The injuries are severe," the middle-aged doctor shook his head. "Excessive bleeding has led to oxygen deprivation in the brain. If it were someone else, they would have already dead."
"Get to the point, no beating around the bush," Mizusawa Ryo frowned.
"Calm down," Meijou Yoru walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "Brain damage can result from oxygen deprivation. I believe Chief Uemon will wake up."
"I'll leave now. If you have any questions, you can ring the bell," the middle-aged doctor said before leaving the ward.
Only two people remained in the room.
"Do you have any clues?" Meijou Yoru asked.
"No," Mizusawa Ryo shook her head. She suspected Kanshi Ran, but it was clear that Uemon Chounan was the one who was attacked and had his phone stolen, otherwise it wouldn't have disappeared completely.
Now, besides Kirigiri Shimizu, all the other team leaders could be enemies, especially after the incident of Kanshi Ran's betrayal and Meijou Yoru's swift counterattack. She didn't trust her.
"I will go to the scene to investigate," Meijou Yoru didn't say much, she turned and left.
On the other side, Asakawa Aki drove Li Xia into the Special Affairs Bureau. They encountered no obstacles along the way and even had vehicles clearing the path ahead for them.
"Don't be nervous," Asakawa Aki reassured Li Xia while driving, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
"Thank you," Li Xia glanced at her foot, "By the way, your foot seems to be trembling."
"I don't!" Asakawa Aki shouted immediately.
"Alright," Li Xia shrugged, turned to look out the car window, and noticed another small car driving in that didn't quite fit in with the surroundings.
The driver also turned to look in their direction, and their gazes met. It was Chen Huijie.
Guided by the car in front, the two vehicles stopped in front of an office building.
"Please follow us, sir," a military-clad man greeted the three of them. He led them into an office and stopped in a reception area.
"Please wait, our supervisor will be here to receive you shortly."
"Thank you," Li Xia noticed that Asakawa Aki was extremely nervous and glanced at them. She turned to the military-clad man and asked,
"I need to see Kirigiri Shimizu as soon as possible. I have important information to tell her."
The military-clad man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, please wait here. I'll go inform her for you."
After saying that, he turned and left, casually closing the door behind him.
"Do you have important information?" Chen Huijie furrowed her brow and asked. The task of the system was to thwart conspiracies, so if there was any information she didn't know, she definitely needed to be informed.
"There's trouble." Li Xia lowered her voice: "I don't have any intelligence, I'm just testing if the person in charge in his mouth is Kirigiri Shimizu."
"What do you mean?" Chen Huijie was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood that Kirigiri Shimizu called them because of a system task.
Others couldn't possibly know, so from the perspective of the mastermind behind the scenes, Kirigiri Shimizu calling them at this time must have a special purpose.
So now they're sending someone to intercept them in advance. There are many clues exposed here. The mastermind behind the scenes has a high position in the Special Affairs Bureau. They can mobilize the Special Affairs Bureau and at the same time monitor the team leaders.
Understanding this, Chen Huijie couldn't help but glance at Li Xia. She has the system, which is how she deduced all this. How did he know?
"It seems like we won't be able to leave here easily," Li Xia stood by the window, looking outside. There were armed soldiers stationed everywhere.
He's not as clever as Chen Huijie thought, he just got burned badly last time he came to the Special Affairs Bureau, so he's more cautious now.
It looks like he just got beaten to the punch.
Meanwhile, inside the Special Affairs Bureau, the special operations meeting has already begun, hosted by Takahashi Chieko.
"Is the director still in the meeting?" Mizusawa Ryo walked to the door and saw Kirigiri Shimizu and Matsukaze Masaya, both holding long knives, standing at the entrance.
With the prime minister and the parliament being targeted by terrorists, this unbelievable situation has made the political and military high command too scared to move recklessly.
At this time, the safest place is of course the Special Affairs Bureau, so the meeting is being held here, with Kirigiri Shimizu and Matsukaze Masaya assigned as leaders outside to ensure safety.
"Yes," Matsukaze Masaya, holding the same type of long knife as Kirigiri Shimizu, said, "there are terrorists inside the Special Affairs Bureau now, so it's better for Leader Mizusawa Ryo not to roam around."
Matsukaze Masaya started dressing in a more neutral way after being cut down by Kirigiri Shimizu. At least now, it doesn't look like she would be mistaken for a man.
"Shimizu, I need to talk to you," Mizusawa Ryo said as she walked up to Kirigiri Shimizu, who had her eyes closed, and spoke in a low voice. "There are traces of someone using Kanshi Ran's office, and I suspect it's related to this incident."
Kirigiri Shimizu kept her eyes closed and ignored her.
Mizusawa Ryo's forehead twitched. "Kirigiri, if you have a plan, speak up. This opponent is dangerous."
Only then did Kirigiri Shimizu open her eyes and glanced at her, speaking in a cold voice. "Wait."
"You..." Mizusawa Ryo's chest heaved with anger. "I'm going to find Takahashi Chieko."
"Please," Kirigiri Shimizu stepped aside, making way for Mizusawa Ryo to enter the office.
"Then I really went in!" Mizusawa Ryo didn't really want to go in, those politicians were more trouble than they were worth.
"Please," Kirigiri Shimizu continued with a blank expression.
"Hmph," Mizusawa Ryo snorted coldly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then didn't push the door open, but instead leaned in, pressing her ear against the door.
Her brow furrowed tighter and tighter: "Hey, why is there no sound inside?"
At the same time, Li Xia sat in the office. The door was pushed open from the outside, and a beautiful, blonde sister, Meijou Yoru, walked in.
"Hey, kid, long time no see," Meijou Yoru immediately greeted Li Xia with a smile, then looked at Chen Huijie: "We meet again."
"Do you have something to discuss with us?" Li Xia asked directly, he didn't have much fondness for this blonde sister.
The last time Kanshi Ran defected, she was just fishing on the sidelines.
"Of course, it's something important." Meijou Yoru walked directly in front of Li Xia, and said with a smile, "Actually, I quite like you, Kirigiri Shimizu's child."
Without any greetings, without any formalities, she smiled like an old friend and stabbed Li Xia directly in the chest with a dagger.
It all happened so quickly, without any warning.
Li Xia looked puzzled, staring at the dagger in his chest. He could feel his heart being pierced.
At the same time, there was a gunshot, the window shattered, and a bullet struck Li Xia's head, causing it to burst open.
