Chapter 106 Surveillance (More chapters to come tonight)
As Kitagawa Ayane was immersed in this strange feeling, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Ze, suddenly, bamboo chopsticks rose and fell in the bowl, picking up a bright red shrimp, which swept past her eyes and landed in the center of the bowl of rice she was holding.

Ayane Kitagawa's pupils widened in shock. Her moist lips parted slightly as she looked at the shrimp in the bowl, flattered and surprised. Then she looked up at Lin Ze, her gaze shifting between the two of them.

Regardless, she was a girl, and she sat on the sofa in a very proper posture, with her hands on her knees, holding her rice bowl in her hands, and her two long legs encased in pantyhose together.

Even with her knees supporting her hands, and her hands supporting the rice bowl—such a stable posture—Kitagawa Ayane's hands became a little unsteady. She felt the light bowl suddenly become so heavy, and there was a red shrimp in it. She looked at the red shrimp.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever served her food in such a way.

It's not just that Japan doesn't have the same custom of serving food to each other like China does; it's that my senior has never experienced such pampering.

Lin Ze, however, felt there was nothing wrong with it.

The senior only eats vegetables, which are not very nutritious. He was too lazy to bother telling her to get some braised shrimp. He would be too nagging to explain everything, and he wasn't the senior's parent.

To be simple and straightforward, just go straight to picking up the food.

Lin Yuning always served him food like that.

"Think about it, now we have to go for a run together in the morning, eat lunch together, and occasionally spend a significant portion of the afternoon on treatment. It's quite troublesome, actually," Lin Ze said, getting to the point.

Upon hearing the word "trouble," Kitagawa Ayane suddenly stopped eating with her chopsticks, pausing as she stared longingly at Lin Ze.

It seemed they were afraid that Lin Ze would say something like, "Why not cancel one item? It's too disruptive to our lives."

She's enjoying it.

The girl didn't want to lose this sweet feeling of being together even more intimately than when she was in love; she was already sitting in springtime.

Seeing her listening intently, Lin Ze didn't hesitate any longer.

"Why don't you move in and stay for a few days?"

"Move...move where?" Kitagawa Ayane was stunned and asked a very silly question.

"If you move in, we can save a lot of time going for a run together in the morning, and the same goes for lunch. You also need to take a shower in the evening, right? Why don't you move in today? It'll be more convenient for everything." Lin Ze looked at her, his eyes full of encouragement.

It's as if everything has been planned out in advance, leaving no room for argument.

"Wait, do you mean I'm going to stay at Dr. Lin's house?" Kitagawa Ayane was startled, her mind went blank for a moment, and she checked Lin Ze's words again and again, hoping that she had not misunderstood.

Followed by.

An overwhelming sense of disbelief and uncontrollable joy welled up within her.

Her sparkling eyes betrayed her.

There are many happy moments, but the happiness she felt with Lin Ze in that rainy night in the one-bedroom apartment, even after reliving it so many times, still brings a tingling pleasure to her fingertips when she thinks about it now.

Complete relaxation and total dependence.

She slept with Lin Ze in her arms all night.

To put it bluntly, that day marked the beginning of a change in their relationship. She completely let down her guard, throwing all shame and thought to the back of her mind, acting solely on instinct.

“That’s right. If you’d like, you can pack up this afternoon and bring over some household items. Oh, and bring your slippers too.” Lin Ze said, glancing at the ridiculously oversized slippers on Kitagawa Ayane’s feet.

"Wouldn't this be inappropriate?" The senior bit her lip, her eyes lowered with a hint of shyness.

She still needed to maintain a basic level of self-restraint, even though she couldn't wait to agree to Lin Ze's request.

"if--"

next second.

“Okay, I’m willing.” Kitagawa Ayane interrupted Lin Ze’s opening words and said seriously.

"Good, let's eat first, and I'll show you the room later."

Lin Ze turned his face away and began to focus on the food on his plate.

For a moment, the living room was so quiet that there was no sound of speaking, except for the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the bowls and plates.

Lin Ze thought there should be a small desk in the storage room. He wasn't sure where Lin Yuning had put his old desk. If it was there, he could clean it up and move it over for Beichuan to use.

She probably won't mind.

After all, in a one-bedroom apartment, the senior student used a very small table, no more than one meter long.

Even the simplest desk wouldn't be any worse than her little table.

After a while.

The two had already emptied their plates, leaving not a single grain of rice. Kitagawa Ayane had clearly upheld her excellent habit of not leaving a single grain, and she dared not leave any, insisting on eating it all, afraid that Lin Ze would find it impolite to leave any food. She was very careful and reserved.

"We'll tidy up later. Let me show you the room first," Lin Ze said to his senior as he stood up.

"Okay." She put down her chopsticks and hurriedly followed Lin Ze.

Since Lin Yuning and Lin Ze's rooms are almost directly opposite each other, the master bedroom is considered a secondary bedroom. The master bedroom is connected to the balcony and has a large window and curtains, while the secondary bedroom only has two windows, and the street is right outside when you open the window.

Fortunately, the glass used is quite soundproof. Even though the bed is next to the window, if a car passes by outside, you can only hear a very faint sound, even if you listen carefully.

He pushed open the slightly ajar door.

Kitagawa Ayane, standing behind her, peeked in from the doorway, hesitant to come in.

Directly opposite the door is the shelf where Lin Ze keeps his miscellaneous items.

It contained most of the things Lin Yuning had bought for him: videotapes and CDs, a handheld game console, a model airplane, and ugly stones he'd picked up from the beach. The rest of the items were mostly books, with a few framed photos upside down in the corner, and even an empty transparent fish tank.

Against the wall is a desk, a rather old-fashioned design. Above it is a bookshelf, below it is a table for placing a computer and doing homework, and below are several drawers.

The desk and chair are made of solid wood and are well-preserved, with a faint luster that can be seen from years of use. A brand-new computer sits on a tablecloth.

As for Lin Ze's bed, it was at the far end of the room. Given his height, the bed wasn't small. A gray quilt covered it, and it looked clean and tidy with nothing superfluous on it.

There's a bookshelf next to the bed with a lamp switch.

A faint minty scent permeated the room, much weaker than the one clinging to Lin Ze's clothes; it was probably coming from the closet.

Kitagawa Ayane keenly sensed the scent, which felt strangely familiar and reassuring. Her gaze swept over the bookshelves, desk, and wardrobe before landing on the bed.

Lin Ze's bed is probably two to three times the size of the small bed she has in her one-bedroom apartment. It has the same warm solid wood color, and the soft leather headboard is probably an addition. The color scheme isn't too jarring.

"Send a room with me, so you won't be scared in an unfamiliar environment and unable to sleep, which would be putting the cart before the horse," Lin Ze said, pointing to the bed.

Kitagawa Ayane almost blurted out "Of course you can." Her lips were already open, but she swallowed the words back before hurriedly adding them.

"I'm open to whatever Dr. Lin decides; I trust Dr. Lin's treatment."

"I finished my internship around 3 p.m. in the afternoon. I just went to the department to clean up a bit," Lin Ze said, looking at her.

"I'm fine now. I was originally planning to go back to my one-bedroom apartment after lunch."

"Then you can use this time to pack your personal belongings and come right over. Wait for me at the store entrance."

"Understood." Kitagawa Ayane nodded.

"Go and clear the table of dishes and put them in the dishwasher. I'll go find you a desk."

With that, Lin Ze left the bedroom and went to the storage room alone.

He walked to the door of the storage room, found one of the keys Lin Yuning had given him, inserted it, and turned the key to open the door.

It had been a long time since he'd been inside the storage room. The last time was during the New Year when he bought a lot of decorative items, and the leftovers were all stored there. Lin Ze went in and saw sunlight streaming in through the narrow window. As he opened the door, dust kicked up.

Fine dust swirled in the sunlight. He rummaged around for a bit and found the table, then grabbed a rag, wiped off the dust, and carried it out.

"Cough cough," Lin Ze coughed lightly a few times after being choked. Seeing that his senior, Kitagawa, was coming up to help, he said calmly, "In the evening, you do your homework, and I'll do mine. We'll each have our own table."

"I won't disturb Dr. Lin's studies." She immediately understood Lin Ze's meaning and raised her hand to assure him.

"That's good."

Lin Ze nodded happily.

While he went to the bedroom to set up the table, Kitagawa Ayane stayed alone in the living room. She didn't follow him in, but tiptoed around curiously. After a while, she stopped at the door of Lin Yuning's bedroom and peeked inside through the half-open door.

What kind of role should the woman who raised Lin Ze play?

Kitagawa Ayane was immediately intrigued, but the character was still shrouded in mystery, and she had no idea what to do with her.

Not long

Lin Ze has finished everything.

The temporary table in the bedroom was wiped clean, and an ordinary chair was brought from the living room. The two people sat back to back so that neither would disturb the other.

He turned his head and saw Kitagawa Ayane standing quietly and obediently.

"Well then, senior," Lin Ze reached out and habitually patted her head, "I hope you can make the most of the five days we spend together."

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The location is one street away.

The new apartments are advertised as offering full services at low prices, which allows them to make huge profits. Many people live in the thirty-plus-story apartment building.

Outside the elevator leading to the apartment.

Two men in suits followed behind Renji Miyagi, carrying suitcases.

Renji Miyagi took the key from the disgruntled agent and glanced at the address on the card.

"I've already vacated the room we agreed on before. I'm very sorry, Mr. Lian Si." The real estate agent, dressed in a white shirt, was sweating profusely and bowed deeply to express his apology.

"This is none of your business, get lost."

"clear."

The next second, Renji Miyagi walked straight past him, while the two men in suits following behind didn't even glance at the real estate agent.

Around noon, the middle-aged man named Kazushi Oi, who was in charge of renting out the apartment, received a call from someone looking to rent it. He didn't even have lunch before rushing over to discuss the rental details.

This apartment, located right next to the center of Ueno, wasn't cheap, and he was secretly pleased that he could make a fortune from this opportunity.

He then met Renji Miyagi, who requested to rent a specific apartment, with price not being an issue.

Upon hearing this, Ooi Kazuhisa, despite seeing the dangerous aura emanating from the other party, gritted his teeth and asked for an exorbitant brokerage fee. To his surprise, the other party agreed without even objecting.

Actually, the apartment the other party wanted to rent had already been booked.

Ooi Kazushi also offered a price with a bit of wishful thinking, but to his surprise, the other party transferred six months' worth of fees less than five minutes after they met—Ooi Kazushi was completely stunned when he received the transfer.

Immediately afterward, when the other party requested to see the inside of the apartment, he went back to the company to get the keys and quickly led the group upstairs.

Since that apartment was already booked, he led him to another one. Before they even entered the apartment, Renji Miyagi noticed that the room number was wrong, so he asked him what was going on.

Ooi Kazushi could only apologize first, and then explain that the apartments were all the same and there was no difference.

However, the next second.

He was lifted up and pressed against the wall in the corridor.

After nearly a minute, the struggling Dai-i Kazushi fell to the ground, desperately gasping for fresh air, his throat almost cracking from coughing.

He was suffering from oxygen deprivation in his brain and felt dizzy while lying on the ground. It took him a long time to recover.

At that moment, Ooi Kazushi suddenly realized that he had met his match, and a sense of fear surged up inside him, instantly extinguishing any thoughts he had had of trying to outsmart his opponent.

As soon as I saw several men in suits go upstairs, the elevator doors closed.

Ooi and Shiki fled the building as quickly as possible, not daring to waste a second, for fear of provoking these troublemakers again. Although the other party still did not reveal their identity, he had already guessed that the other party was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.

upstairs.

With a "tick," the apartment's front door opened.

Renji Miyagi led the two employees behind him into the apartment, heading straight for the balcony. He pulled back the tightly closed curtains and pushed open the glass door.

He held onto the handrail, looking out at another street in the distance.

Looking down from the height of more than ten stories, the scene on another low street is clearly visible, with two rows of neat old houses and some shops.

The residents of that old street all had various green plants on their rooftops. One family even had a lot of fitness equipment on it, while another family next door had a vegetable garden where they grew vegetables.

"A good location."

After saying that, he locked his gaze on the signboard of "Lin's Fried Pork Chop Shop," took out his phone, and started making a call.

A moment later, the call connected, and Renji Miyagi looked serious.

"Hey, Tomoko, I've found the surveillance position that Miss wanted."

"She's in my car, we'll be there in a bit."

"Understood, I'll send someone to wait outside."

After a clean and efficient conversation, Renji Miyagi turned around, gestured to his colleagues behind him, and they immediately understood, nodded, and left the apartment.

After the door clicked shut.

"Check the apartment to make sure there aren't any damn hidden cameras, and disinfect it while you're at it."

Upon hearing this, another man in a suit opened his suitcase, took out cleaning gloves, put them on, and began disinfecting the room. He didn't miss any corner; he lifted up the entire bed and disinfected even the crevices.

They inspected the entire apartment building inside and out.

Midway through, Miyagi Renji had already left. He stood guard outside the door, looking at the time on his wristwatch; it was 1:45 PM.

five minutes later.

A black sedan was parked on the side of the street.

A woman wearing a pencil skirt and office lady attire stepped out of the front passenger seat and opened the back door.

The girl lowered her head and walked out slowly.

Accompanied by a woman named Heijo Tomoko, Miyagi Suzuo arrived at the apartment and went straight to the terrace.

She squinted, staring at the signboard of "Lin's Fried Pork Chop Shop".

Suzuo didn't really want to do this unless absolutely necessary.

However, some people have gone too far, completely disregarding her warnings.
