Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"These are critical times, and there are agents and police searching for us everywhere. If our whereabouts are exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble. You should treat your wound yourself."

Liu Shiyuan, wrapped in a bathrobe, brought over a first-aid kit and handed it to Ishida Mako.

Mako Ishida took the first-aid kit and took out alcohol, hemostatic powder, and bandages to clean and disinfect the area. However, the tear in her groin was severe and bleeding was not stopping, so it needed to be stitched up.

When Mako Ishida looked up, she saw Shigen Ryu sitting casually on the sofa, his two withered legs spread apart outside his bathrobe, looking just like two dry bamboo poles, especially his manhood, which was so brazenly exposed in front of her...

When Mako Ishida saw the ugly tool used in the crime, and thought about how the old man had been recklessly ravaging her, she felt nauseous and wanted to cut that thing off...

Mako Ishida gritted her teeth and said, "Those people outside are looking for you, not me. Xiao Zhan has no idea I'm with you. I need to go to the hospital for a checkup. My wound hurts a lot. If I don't go to the hospital for treatment, I'm afraid it will leave lasting effects. I'm still young, and I don't want to be unable to have children in the future."

"Clatter."

Liu Shiyuan leisurely lit a cigarette, revealing a disdainful expression, and said, "You still want to get married and have children?"

Mako Ishida gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Liu, please respect me, okay? I'm here to cooperate with you. I'm not your subordinate, much less your plaything. You used underhanded methods to take advantage of me and left me bruised and battered. Aren't you afraid I'll leave immediately and refuse to cooperate with your subsequent operations?"

Liu Shiyuan's eyes narrowed, and he shouted sharply, "How dare you threaten me? Try walking away and see if your family wants to live!"

Ishida Mako stopped talking and quickly dressed. Then, staring at Liu Shiyuan with her last bit of stubbornness, she said, "I have to go to the hospital now. If you don't let me go, you can kill me right now. You decide what to do."

In reality, Liu Shiyuan was just trying to scare Ishida Mako.

We really can't kill Mako Ishida now. If Sakura Society comes looking for her later, it would be hard to explain if she's dead.

Liu Shiyuan felt a pang of regret upon seeing Ishida Mako's battered body, but once he entered a certain evil state, he simply couldn't control his inner desires...

The two were suddenly in an awkward situation…

suddenly,

"Knock knock knock".

Someone knocked on the door.

Liu Shiyuan looked towards the doorway: "Come in!"

The door opened, and the middle-aged man from before walked in. Seeing that Ishida Mako was dressed neatly and about to leave, he asked with some surprise, "Miss Mako, what are you doing here?"

Ishida Mako was unaware that the middle-aged man had also participated in the assault and torture she suffered. She said, "Mr. Miki, I'm injured. I need to go to the hospital for a checkup and treatment."

The middle-aged man's name was Miki Hirofumi.

At this moment, Liu Shiyuan asked, "What is it?"

Miki Hirofumi said, "I just received news that Su Zixing is returning for the funeral and will be landing at the Capital International Airport in two hours. This is an excellent opportunity for revenge."

Liu Shiyuan waved his hand to stop Miki Hiroo from speaking, then said to Ishida Mako, "Then be careful when you go to the hospital, go quickly and come back quickly, don't let those people find out."

Ishida Mako knew that Liu Shiyuan wasn't concerned about her, but rather afraid that she would expose her identity and wanted to get rid of her so that they could talk more easily. So she said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu. I've been dealing with these people for a long time and I know how to avoid them."

"Besides, Xiao Zhan knows I'm Deng Zhi's man, he won't do anything to me."

Liu Shiyuan nodded: "Then go ahead, be careful."

Mako Ishida walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. She took a few steps forward, her footsteps heavy, then stopped and looked up to observe her surroundings. The corridor was quiet and deserted.

Then Ishida Mako tiptoed back to the door and pressed her ear against it. The conversation inside the room could be clearly heard.

Then Liu Shiyuan said, "Is the Su Zixing you're talking about Deng Zhi's illegitimate daughter whom he's been raising outside the home?"

Miki Hiroo gritted his teeth and said, "It's that bitch."

Liu Shiyuan: "Isn't it normal for her to come back for the funeral? She might even be able to reconnect with her ancestors. What does that have to do with you? What kind of revenge are you seeking against her for?"

Miki Hiroo said bitterly, "My brother died at the hands of this woman, so I wanted to ambush her on the way to avenge my brother's tragic death!"

Liu Shiyuan: "How could your brother have died at Su Zixing's hands? As far as I know, wasn't your brother a mercenary in the Golden Triangle? And he was an undercover agent all along."

Miki Hirofumi: "Sir, you may not know this, but my brother was ordered by Yu Kun to lead a group of men to Los Angeles to hunt down Su Zixing and retrieve the USB drive from her. Unexpectedly, he was killed by this bitch instead. It is said that Xiao Zhan was also present at the time, but the specifics are unclear. Anyway, my brother's death is related to this bitch."

Liu Shiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Then how do you plan to carry out the ambush and kill Su Zixing?"

Miki Hiroo: "Sir, I think we can do this... we can bring people..."

Miki Hiroo's voice grew softer and softer...

Mako Ishida could no longer hear, and knew that listening any further was pointless.

So she tiptoed quickly toward the fire escape, when suddenly a sharp pain shot through her groin. Her legs gave way, and she stumbled, almost falling. Fortunately, Ishida Mako was quick-witted and managed to steady herself by grabbing the wall. She took a deep breath, endured the pain, gritted her teeth, and strode into the fire escape.

Miki Hiroo, who was talking in the room, suddenly stopped, turned to look at the door, then quickly walked behind the door, flung it open, and found the doorway empty, with no one in sight.

Miki Hiroo quickly walked to the elevator entrance and saw two elevators, one stopped on the first floor and the other on the top floor.

Miki Hiroo looked around suspiciously, then walked to the fire escape door, pushed it open, craned his neck to look at the stairs, and listened carefully, but there wasn't a sound in the stairwell.

Miki Hiroo turned back and muttered to himself, "Did I hear wrong?"

Suddenly, he stopped and stared at the wall of the corridor, the very spot where Ishida Mako had just been leaning against. There was a faint fingerprint on the white wall.

Miki Hiroo leaned closer to examine the fingerprint, then looked up and his gaze darted back and forth between the elevator and the doorway, as if he were thinking about something.

Miki Hiroo returned to his room.

Liu Shiyuan asked, "What just happened?"

Miki Hiroo: "I think I heard someone eavesdropping outside, but I looked around and couldn't find anyone."

Liu Shiyuan: "Could it be the sound of Ishida Mako walking? You mistakenly think someone is eavesdropping."

Miki Hiroo shook his head and said, "My intuition should be right, but I saw the elevator stop on the first floor. If it really was Ishida Mako eavesdropping, she wouldn't have moved this quickly."

Little did Miki Hiroo know that Ishida Mako had actually been hiding around the corner of the fire escape.

If he had gone down two flights of stairs, he would have found Mako Ishida hiding under the stairs.

Because Ishida truly knew that Miki Hiroo was a member of the Sakura Society and a high-ranking ninja, he knew that he couldn't escape Miki Hiroo's eyes and ears by taking the elevator or climbing the stairs. He could only hide at the corner of the stairs and remain still to deal with any situation.

If they manage to escape by sheer luck, they will live; if they cannot, they will be killed on the spot by Miki Hiroo...
