Gin likes me?

Reaching out and holding Suzuki Tomoko's hand, Suzuki Shiro's tone was gentle but firm and could not be refused.

"We must handle this matter properly this time. Only then can we be truly assured of all the things that will happen in the future, right?"

"...You must be careful! I will be at home with Ayako and Sonoko waiting for you to come back!"

Her eyes flickered constantly, and Suzuki Tomoko buried her head in Suzuki Shiro's shoulder, whispering softly.

"Don't worry, I will watch Ayako and Sonoko get married, and then I will take care of our grandchildren with you in the future."

Suzuki Shiro said softly while hugging Suzuki Tomoko with a smile.

"Ok!"

. . .

"Mr. Tanaka, are there any changes to today's operations?"

Driving on the road back to Tokyo, only ten minutes after leaving the hotel, Saburo Uozuka, who was sitting in the driver's seat holding the steering wheel steadily, glanced at Shiro Suzuki who was sitting in the back reading a book blocked by the middle partition, and asked Tanaka Halli in a subtle tone.

"Why do you ask that?"

Looking at Uozuka Saburo with a smile, Tanaka Hata's expression was very natural, but only he himself knew the surprise in his heart.

He didn't expect Uozuka Saburo to be so perceptive.

"According to the original plan, Mr. Suzuki and his wife were supposed to be sitting in one car, while other security personnel drove in front and behind to protect them."

After glancing at Tanaka Flag with a calm look, Uozuka Saburo had slowly raised his vigilance and started paying attention to the environmental information on both sides of the road and around the car.

"But when we set out today, not only did we not mention the temporary changes, but there were also some discrepancies in the arrangement of security personnel that were not in line with the original plan."

"Mr. Tanaka, I want to know what's going on."

"Since you are sitting here, it means that the plan we heard during the meeting was a cover-up, right?"

"You, no, I should say, who does Mr. Suzuki want to plot against? He is willing to let Mrs. Suzuki go first in a safe position and use himself as bait."

Looking at Tanaka Flag with cold eyes, Uozuka Saburo held the steering wheel with one hand, while with the other hand he had already opened the safety of the pistol inside his clothes.

He was fully prepared for battle.

"I really didn't hide it from you. Your awareness and judgment are really terrifying. I thought I did a good job of covering it up before."

Touching his head in distress, Tanaka Qi shook his head with a smile, but turned around and took the initiative to lower the partition in the middle of the car.

"Master, you heard it too, so you better continue speaking."

"But it's me who should say it." A calm and steady voice came from behind. Uozuka Saburo's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything and just continued to listen.

"It's a little different from what I expected. In fact, I didn't want to have our first formal communication with you in such an environment."

"Mr. Kurosawa."

193: For Ayako's sake

"Mr. Kurosawa, can I call you that? Or given your relationship with my daughter Ayako, it would be ok to call you something a little more intimate."

Looking at Saburo Uozuka who was driving in front with a smile, Shiro Suzuki spoke with a chuckle, as if he and Saburo Uozuka were a familiar friend.

"Just call me Kurosawa. Mr. or something like that. This kind of address always sounds weird to me."

Glancing at Suzuki Shiro through the rearview mirror, Uozuka Saburo, who was driving the car steadily, also answered calmly.

Uozuka Saburo had already prepared for the conversation with Suzuki Shiro. Although today's environment was somewhat special, Uozuka Saburo was not caught off guard.

"Then I will call you Kurosawa because of my age." Nodding with a smile, Shiro Suzuki glanced at the mobile phone beside him, then turned his gaze to Saburo Uozuka again.

"Although I have a lot of curiosity that I want to discuss with you, Kurosawa, the timing is not right today, so I'll make it short."

"Kurosawa, do you like Ayako?"

"...I like it." The hand holding the steering wheel tightened for a moment. Originally wanting to say something to cover it up, Uozuka Saburo recalled the voice and smile of Suzuki Ayako when she was by his side.

Although it caused him a lot of trouble, and although he was always timid when teased by Suzuki Ayako, Uozuka Saburo had to admit that since he came into this world, Suzuki Ayako was truly the first girl of the opposite sex who had left a deep impression on him.

Although he cannot choose to directly accept Suzuki Ayako's confession due to various reasons such as his identity, Uozuka Saburo does not want to be a man who is afraid to face his own heart!

No matter what love is to him, Uozuka Saburo is willing to regard the strange feeling he has for Suzuki Ayako as love!

The kind of love between men and women.

"Oh, I thought, Kurosawa, you wouldn't admit it." The eyes behind the lenses flickered slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across Suzuki Shiro's face, but it was quickly covered by a satisfied smile.

"There's nothing that cannot be admitted. If you hide your feelings, you will also hurt Ayako's feelings and efforts." He shook his head slightly and glanced at Tanaka Flag who was sitting in the co-pilot seat without saying a word, completely restraining his breath, and blinking continuously at Uozuka Saburo's gaze, as if to express 'please don't care about me, I'm just a cactus now and can't hear anything'. Uozuka Saburo's mouth twitched and he was too lazy to pay attention to him at this time.

"But I don't think that admitting this feeling will have any impact on my decision. I might as well tell you my decision today, Mr. Suzuki."

The car slowly stopped at the traffic light. Uozuka Saburo turned his head little by little and looked directly at Suzuki Shiro. He lowered his voice and spoke word by word.

"I will not reciprocate Ayako's feelings. After this time, I will reduce my interactions with Ayako and disappear from her life."

Yes, this is the result of Saburo Uozuka’s careful thinking.

On the night when Suzuki Ayako rushed into his room and hugged him and kissed him passionately, Saburo Uozuka thought a lot after parting with Vodka.

He faced his feelings, was grateful for Suzuki Ayako's dedication and sincerity, and enjoyed the light-hearted feeling when he was with Suzuki Ayako.

But that's it.

He will stay in the organization and accompany Kurosawa Hotaru for the rest of his life. This is something the two of them had already agreed on after going through the bloody and sweaty training sessions at the training base, the competitions that resulted in broken bones and serious injuries, and the times when they had to confirm each other's survival as soon as they woke up from a coma.

It is a vow engraved in the soul and written on the heart.

As for Suzuki Ayako, she should have a better and brighter future, and Uozuka Saburo does not want her to have more contact with the organization.

Determined! Uozuka Saburo thought that he should make a manly judgment!

"Oh, is that so? That really surprises me. Kurosawa, you left a very good impression on me these two days. I was looking forward to your answer. Is it really like this in the end?" There was still a faint smile on his face, but Suzuki Shiro's words had become much more intense.

"You took advantage of my daughter and you don't even want to take any responsibility. Are you just going to turn around and leave like this?"

"...Tsk." Choked by Suzuki Shiro's fatal blow, Uozuka Saburo was unable to utter a word. He turned his head abruptly, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and did not even look at his own Tanaka Flag.

"Then Mr. Suzuki, do you have any opinions? You should have your own guesses about my identity. I want to see what you think, Mr. Suzuki."

"Well, that's my idea." Touching his beard, Suzuki Shiro narrowed his eyes like Suzuki Ayako.

"Kurosawa, are you interested in working for me?"

"Huh?" With his eyes wide open in surprise, Saburo Uozuka really didn't expect that Shiro Suzuki would actually say such a thing in the end.

"Let's not talk about Ayako's relationship. I am also very optimistic about you. How about considering it?"

The smiling Shiro Suzuki looked like a friendly uncle next door, but at this moment, Saburo Uozuka's heart suddenly tightened.

He had a feeling that he had underestimated the person in charge of the Suzuki family.

but.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested, and it seems we don't have much time to talk now."

His eyes flickered slightly at the moment the traffic light changed, and Uozuka Saburo slammed the accelerator, but did not follow the convoy in front of him. Instead, he turned the steering wheel sharply, turned the intersection in a drifting posture, and rushed towards the road on the left with unstoppable momentum.

"Head toward the mountain at location 2 on the map. You must remember the path, Kurosawa!"

Tanaka Qi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had already pulled out a pistol from his bosom. He held the handrail on the car window with his hand, and stared fiercely at the black SUV that was following them fiercely in the right rearview mirror.

"There are two in total. No one has shown their head yet, but they must have guns in their hands."

Putting a Bluetooth headset on his own ear and handing one to Uozuka Saburo, Tanaka Flag expressed his judgment to Suzuki Shiro.

"In terms of numbers, it's about the same as our intelligence said. So should we continue as planned, sir?"

"Of course, we are waiting for this moment, aren't we?" Shiro Suzuki, who had already fastened his seat belt securely, smiled and nodded. However, a cold light flashed across his glasses, and then he smiled and turned the topic to Saburo Uozuka, who was concentrating on driving.

"Ayako said that you, Kurosawa, are his savior, the one who brought him light in his despair."

"I have also seen the hut at the time and I have the report. The conclusion given by the police is that the person who killed those people is a very capable and dangerous person."

"I kind of want to see your professional ability. What do you think, Kurosawa?"

"For Ayako's sake." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he glanced at the two cars chasing him from behind, and Uozuka Saburo twisted his neck with a clicking sound.

"I'll let you continue watching TV and eating strawberry sundaes tonight, Mr. Suzuki."

"Haha, that's really reassuring~"

194: Mr. Suzuki, are you interested in watching it?

"Bah!~"

The tires rubbed against the ground violently, and Uozuka Saburo made continuous sharp turns, making it difficult for the cars behind to follow them.

If Saburo Uozuka had not slowed down slightly at the signal of Shiro Suzuki, he would have left those behind long ago with his A+ driving test score in the organization.

“I can already see it, but what should I do?”

Looking at the nearby mountain entrance, Uozuka Saburo raised his eyebrows and looked at Suzuki Shiro behind him with a subtle look.

He had heard about the general situation from Tanaka Flag and Suzuki Shiro while driving, but even the knowledgeable Uozuka Saburo was a little amused by Suzuki Shiro's actions.

To put it bluntly, Uozuka Saburo felt that Suzuki Shiro was a little too irresponsible.

As the pillar of a family and the head of a group, he actually wanted to use his own safety as a bargaining chip, like fishing to catch all the traitors who might have been bribed and sent by the enemy group and were lurking in the Suzuki family and group.

If you are not careful, you might end up getting your name involved.

As a man in a high position of power, Uozuka Saburo felt that Suzuki Shiro's action was too impulsive.

unless.

Looking vaguely at the jungle-covered mountain, Uozuka Saburo curled his lips and said nothing more.

"Let's go. I believe that with the protection of Tanaka and Kurosawa, I will be very relaxed, right?" Even now, the smile on Suzuki Shiro's face has not changed.

After getting down from behind the parked car under the protection of Tanaka Flag, he quickly followed Uozuka Saburo and the others and ran towards the steps leading to the trailhead.

"The car is here, where are the people?" All the people in the off-road vehicle that braked suddenly and stopped right behind them jumped out of the car. They quickly locked onto the whereabouts of Shiro Suzuki and the other two, and quickly chased after them.

However, although the trackers were all young and strong professionals, Shiro Suzuki had obviously made preparations in advance. In the jungle, which he had not approached once during the two days, there were obstacles that surprised and left Saburo Uozuka speechless.

The design was very professional and natural, and it was obviously the work of a master. However, this also made Uozuka Saburo even more speechless.

Under the protection of this obstacle, the pursuers did not shorten the distance to Shiro Suzuki as they had expected. On the contrary, it was very difficult for them to just lock onto Shiro Suzuki's traces.

However, what they could not have imagined was that from the very beginning, things were different from what they had imagined.

"This is the safe house you prepared. What about the reinforcements? You are so calm and collected. You should have prepared them well, right, Mr. Suzuki?"

Raising his eyebrows and looking at the cave that was built using the mountain terrain, which was simple but hidden and safe enough, Uozuka Saburo knew that his belief that Suzuki Shiro was impulsive was indeed an idiotic one.

Although the man in front of him looks kind and smiling, he is definitely just like his daughter Suzuki Ayako who always smiles. He has a lot of things in his mind!

"Well, the reinforcements are on their way here. After all, we can't be sure where the attack will begin. This is just one of the locations planned from the beginning."

Looking at his arm, Suzuki Shiro, who was sweating profusely, wiped the sweat with a handkerchief and sat down casually on a rock in the cave.

"Heh." With a curl of his lips, Uozuka Saburo no longer believed the words of the man in front of him.

"It should take another ten minutes for the reinforcements to arrive here. The special police are being dispatched urgently, and it will take another 15 minutes for the plane to arrive and take control of the situation." Suzuki Shiro said a series of times meaningfully, looking at Uozuka Saburo and revealing a meaningful smile.

"Kurosawa, do you think we can hold out here for ten minutes and solve the problem within five minutes?"

"Oh, you want to solve it yourself? I thought you businessmen all believe in making money through harmony and don't seek trouble." Looking at Suzuki Shiro with amusement, Uozuka Saburo really understood what he wanted to express.

"That's true. Our Suzuki Group has always abided by the law and developed reasonably within the scope of the law." He smiled and waved his hands. Facing the teasing of Uozuka Saburo, Shiro Suzuki did not look angry or dissatisfied at all.

"However, I will not be so easy to talk to those who try to hurt my family." Although there was a smile on his face, at this moment, the words that Shiro Suzuki said made even Saburo Uozuka feel dangerous.

"After all, I spent a lot of energy and money to obtain the permission for the Suzuki family bodyguards to use firearms. I can't just watch them fire their guns for fun."

"I put it this way, so you can understand, Kurosawa."

"Tsk, 9 people, it won't take fifteen minutes." After stretching his body, with the sound of bones crackling, Uozuka Saburo took out a pistol full of bullets from his side, and showed a bloodthirsty smile to Suzuki Shiro and Tanaka Flag that he had never shown in front of outsiders.

"Do you want to ask a question?"

"I don't think I can ask anything."

"Well, Mr. Tanaka, I'll leave this to you."

Looking at Uozuka Saburo who ran out of the cave after saying this, Tanaka Flag's eyes kept flickering, and finally he couldn't help but ask Suzuki Shiro behind him.

"Master, do you really want Kurosawa to do this kind of thing?"
