Upon hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki frowned even more deeply, and looked at Xia Yan with a worried expression, because Shirogane Miyuki knew very well what was going on.
Chapter 358 Asking
If Xia Yan were to choose to do this alone, and were discovered by others, his situation would be extremely dangerous, and they wouldn't be able to rescue him quickly enough.
Realizing this, the worry in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes deepened. Natsuhiko, standing beside him, seemed to understand Shirogane Miyuki's thoughts, sighed softly, and then said to him:
"Oh, don't worry about me. Besides, I'm a living person, I can't just disappear like that. You should go see Kaguya quickly, so that 04 can come back to help me as soon as possible."
Although Shirogane Miyuki was conflicted, after hearing Natsuhiko's persuasion, he finally went. Upon arriving in the town, Kaguya, seeing Shirogane Miyuki, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, then hurriedly came to him, pretended to slap him, and then said:
"I'm telling you, you're such a mean person. Why didn't you tell me beforehand if you wanted to come see me? You almost turned my surprise into a shock."
Upon seeing Kaguya, Miyuki Shirogane was overjoyed. Moreover, after hearing Kaguya's words, the smile on his lips deepened. However, Chika and Ram, having received the news, quickly arrived before Miyuki Shirogane.
Chika and Ram initially thought Natsuhiko had come with Shirogane Miyuki, and a hint of anticipation flashed in their eyes. However, upon arriving, they discovered that only Shirogane Miyuki had come this time. Realizing this, a trace of sadness crossed their eyes, and they sighed softly, though they remained extremely curious.
In their view, Xia Yan hadn't left that place because of an agreement with the relevant authorities. But now that Shirogane Miyuki had already dealt with his business and arrived, why hadn't Xia Yan come yet? Realizing this, the two exchanged glances, their doubts deepening. They then nudged Shirogane Miyuki aside and asked:
"Oh dear, oh dear, why are you all alone? You two are usually inseparable. Where's Xia Yan? Didn't he come?"
Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, but he had already anticipated this. He knew that once he arrived in this town, Chika and Ram would question his consciousness. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said to Chika and Ram:
"How could someone as busy as him come with me? Besides, you don't know that he's been getting quite close to that person in the relevant department lately, so of course I have to treat him to a meal, chat with him, and help him with some things. Otherwise, how could we possibly ask him for help in the future? But he said he'll come to see us once he's done with that busy period, and then we can have a good time together."
Chika and Ram's disappointment deepened. They had thought they would see Xia Yan this time, but he didn't come. However, they didn't doubt it when they saw Shirogane Miyuki in front of them. Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, sighed softly after seeing this scene.
At the same time, he was also extremely relieved, thankfully he had already thought of a reason beforehand.
Chapter 359 Comfort
Otherwise, they would have been at a loss by now. However, Shirogane Miyuki was still very worried. What if Ichika and Ram called Natsuhiko and they were exposed? Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki talked to Kaguya and didn't waste any time here. He found a secluded place and started calling Natsuhiko to discuss things with him beforehand.
However, when Shirogane Miyuki was on the phone, about to tell Natsuhiko something, Chika overheard him. Upon seeing this, Shirogane Miyuki's face showed a hint of panic. He completely forgot to hang up and looked at Chika with a look of fear.
Chika had already heard the gist of it, and seeing this scene, her brows furrowed slightly. However, she still looked anxiously at Xia Yan and asked him:
"What were you talking about? What do you mean you were following someone? Did something happen? But you two aren't going to hide something from us again, are you? Can you two just give us a break? We finally got Master Long in jail, what trouble are you going to cause now?"
After saying these words, the worry in Chika's eyes deepened, while Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly. Shirogane Miyuki had promised Natsuhiko that he would not reveal this matter, so seeing this scene, he was in a dilemma.
On the other side, Xia Yan seemed to have heard the commotion as well. He knew that it was impossible to keep it a secret forever. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then said to Shirogane Miyuki:
"Alright, alright, now that Qianhua already knows, just tell him the whole story. Keeping it from him isn't a long-term solution."
Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, but after glancing at Chika's puzzled expression, she sighed softly and then told Chika the whole story.
When Chika learned about this, the worry in her eyes gradually deepened. She really didn't expect that Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko would do such a big thing behind their backs. They knew that it involved the relevant authorities. If it aroused the vigilance of the authorities or the person behind the scenes, none of them would survive.
Realizing this, and considering that the four of them were safer in the town, but leaving Xia Yan alone there, Chika's worry deepened. She looked at Shirogane Miyuki and said to him:
"In that case, let's hurry back to find Xia Yan. What if something happens to him? We're relatively safe in this small town, which is quite isolated, but if he's discovered by the authorities, the consequences will be dire. Besides, we're not there now, and there's no one to help him."
After saying these words, Chika hurriedly wanted to go back to pack her things and rush back to the city. Seeing this, Shirogane Miyuki's helplessness deepened.
Chapter 360 New Discovery
Although she had already anticipated in her heart that Chika would react this way when she told her about it.
However, he did not expect that Chika's reaction would be so strong. After realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki sighed softly and then hurriedly stood in front of Chika. After seeing this scene, a trace of confusion flashed in Chika's eyes, but she was very anxious and just wanted to go back to check if Xia Yan was safe.
Shirogane Miyuki naturally understood Chika's thoughts, and quickly calmed him down, saying to him:
After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki looked at Chika with a determined expression. A hint of hesitation flashed in Chika's eyes, even though she was very worried that something might happen to Natsuhiko.
However, he was also perfectly clear in his heart that what Shirogane Miyuki had just said made perfect sense. Realizing this, he sighed softly. Then, turning to Chika again, he said:
"The most important thing I'm telling you right now is that we can't alert them. Besides, you can't let anyone else know about this. The more people who know about this, the greater the chance of a leak, and the more dangerous it is for us."
A look of understanding flashed in Chika's eyes, and then she nodded firmly at Shirogane Miyuki in front of her. Seeing this, the worry in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes gradually lessened. At the same time, Shirogane Miyuki did not stay in this town for long.
He was well aware that it was very dangerous for Xia Yan to be there alone, especially since he had no one to help him. If something happened to him, the consequences would be very serious. After realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki stayed with Kaguya in the town for a few days before returning home.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after Shirogane Miyuki returned, Natsuhiko and Shirogane Miyuki also divided the work and kept monitoring that person in the relevant unit. Just a few days ago, he said that the person in the relevant unit had not made any moves.
A hint of worry flashed in the eyes of Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko. They had thought they had been exposed, but in the past few days, Natsuhiko suddenly discovered that the person from the relevant unit seemed to be preparing to meet with the person behind them. After realizing this, a hint of joy flashed in Natsuhiko's eyes.
You should know that he had been biding his time for several days to get this last bit of clue. Moreover, a smile slowly appeared on the lips of Shirogane Miyuki beside him. Shirogane Miyuki knew very well that as long as they could find out who was behind it, it would prove that their danger could be completely eliminated.
He didn't want to never see Kaguya again, and a sense of urgency flashed through his mind after realizing this. Xia Yan, standing nearby, naturally understood and patted Shirogane Miyuki on the shoulder.
Then he said to him, "Although we now know that person has already made a move, we can't rush things. If we encounter any unexpected problems, it will be detrimental to both of us."
Chapter 361 Contact
A knowing glint flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. He naturally agreed with what Xia Yan had said. Realizing this, he quickly nodded to Xia Yan beside him.
This person from the relevant unit was even more cautious than Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko had imagined; he had been observing the situation for four weeks along the way.
Seeing this scene, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko's vigilance gradually deepened. However, they had underestimated the vigilance of this person from the relevant unit. He was not only cautious all the way, but also kept taking detours.
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of anxiety flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. It has to be said that this person from the relevant unit had completely worn down his patience. Realizing this, he frowned tightly, and a shadow crossed his eyes.
Xia Yan, standing to the side, naturally understood Shirogane Miyuki's thoughts. He sighed softly, patted him on the shoulder, and then said to him:
"Alright, alright, haste makes waste. Besides, you've already waited so long, are you afraid of a little more time? He's about to meet with the people behind the scenes, so we must seize this opportunity and be patient a little longer."
After hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki tried to calm himself down, sighed softly, and then nodded firmly to Natsuhiko beside him.
The person from the relevant unit was extremely cautious throughout the journey. Moreover, despite feeling that Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were very well concealed, they were almost discovered several times along the way. Upon realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki frowned deeply.
Meanwhile, the person from the relevant unit, after observing the situation, realized he might have been overthinking things. After all, Master Long had already been imprisoned, and his relationship with Xia Yan was so good. Besides, he had tested Xia Yan several times before.
Xia Yan was completely unaware of this matter. After realizing this, a self-deprecating smile slowly appeared on his lips. He didn't waste any more time and immediately began contacting the people behind him.
As a result, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko saw this person from the relevant unit enter a hotel directly. After seeing this scene, a look of understanding flashed in Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko's eyes. Naturally, the two of them did not waste any time and followed him in directly.
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········
After some investigation, they finally found the relevant authorities and discovered where the man and the person behind him had met. They then immediately requested a room next door.
...... . ...
This hotel wasn't exactly high-end, so the soundproofing wasn't particularly good. Moreover, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko had already prepared everything beforehand, so while the person from the relevant department was contacting the person behind them, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were eavesdropping from next door.
They were both very cautious, and then they heard two people talking over:
"I've heard you've been getting very close to that guy named Xia Yan lately. I hope you'll be mindful of your identity and not expose yourself, otherwise you'll realize how useless you are to me, and you won't need to stay here anymore." Fan.
Chapter 362 Doubt
A weathered voice drifted over, and a deep meaning flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. It was indeed the voice of the person from the relevant unit, and there was a hint of urgency in it.
“Of course I understand, so please rest assured. I have already tested Xia Yan many times, and he knows absolutely nothing about this matter. As for the thing you suspect, I still have no clue about it. But don’t worry, I will use my own rights to find it.”
"That's good. You should know how much manpower and resources it took me to arrange for you to be placed in the relevant unit. What's more, now all we need to do is find out the secret that Master Long has and when it should be exposed. Also, I have carefully examined the thing we want, and I have strong suspicions that it should be on Xia Yan."
Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, who were in the next room, frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes. However, through this conversation, they also realized that the person behind this wanted to find out some secret about Master Long.
However, they had no idea what it was about, and moreover, in their view, it was something that had nothing to do with them.
But for some reason, the person behind the scenes suspected Xia Yan. After realizing this, Shirogane Yuuki's doubts deepened, because he knew very well that he and Xia Yan had been inseparable during this period.
Including when they were looking for evidence and disrupting Long Ye's plans, they were all together. At that time, nothing suspicious was found. After realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly. At the same time, Xia Yan on the other side was also very puzzled.
Although he heard the voice of the person behind the scenes, he hadn't seen their face, so he couldn't speculate. Realizing this, Xia Yan sighed softly. At the same time, just as they were thinking this, the voice from next door came again:
"Don't worry, since you're already suspicious, I naturally won't let this clue go. Besides, we have such a good relationship now; he tells me almost everything, but each time he only gives me a few clues. Maybe he hasn't let his guard down around me yet..."
Upon hearing these words, the person behind simply hummed softly without saying anything else, followed by a period of silence.
Upon hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, who were sitting next door, frowned slightly. However, at the same time, they were also very clear in their hearts that this place was not a place to stay for long.
Moreover, Xia Yan was even more aware that the person from the relevant unit was extremely cautious. If he were to discover that he had been here, the consequences would be unimaginable. Realizing this, Xia Yan glanced at Shirogane Miyuki, who naturally understood Xia Yan's thoughts, sighed softly, and nodded at him.
So the two of them didn't waste any time there and left first. After all, they were afraid that they would run into those two people when I came out. After they left, they went directly to a restaurant near the hotel and sat there quietly, with Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko deep in thought.
Chapter 363 Introduction
Both Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were extremely puzzled as to what the person behind the scenes was looking for, and they also didn't know what secrets Long Ye was hiding.
Moreover, they were well aware that the reason they were able to send Master Long to jail before was because they had a lot of evidence of Master Long's crimes, but they had not found anything unusual.
Not only that, the person they are currently tracking also works for a relevant unit. If there were any secrets, he should have known about them before anyone else. However, the person behind the scenes does suspect that the secret is with Xia Yan.
Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki subconsciously glanced at Xia Yan beside him. A hint of doubt flashed in Xia Yan's eyes as well. However, even though the two of them were deep in thought, they could still see the commotion from the hotel.
Moreover, after the person from the relevant unit came out of the hotel, both of them subconsciously avoided each other. However, the person did not stay there for long. After looking around, he went straight back to the relevant unit.
Seeing this scene, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko looked at each other and sighed softly. However, they did not stay there for long and went straight home. However, as soon as Natsuhiko got home, he received a call from the person in charge of the relevant unit.
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of confusion flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. However, he also had a vague guess that it was likely related to the person behind the scenes. Realizing this, he pretended not to care and then answered the phone.
After a series of phone calls, Xia Yan frowned slightly. The person from the relevant department wanted to invite Xia Yan out that evening. Xia Yan initially thought there was nothing strange about this, but after the contact between that person from the relevant department and the person behind the scenes that day, and because Xia Yan had overheard that something about this matter concerned him,
Xia Yan understood the man's intentions, but since this matter was entirely beneficial to Xia Yan, he agreed without hesitation.
However, just after Xia Yan hung up the phone, Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. Because in Shirogane Miyuki's mind, that person from the relevant department definitely had ill intentions. Realizing this, the worry in his eyes deepened, and he subconsciously glanced at Xia Yan before saying:
"If you ask me, you'd better not go today. You know, that person in the relevant unit is extremely cunning. Besides, you overheard what he said to the person behind the scenes. Although we don't know what Master Long's secret is right now, it's definitely going to be very disadvantageous for the two of us."
Xia Yan frowned slightly. He knew that what Shirogane Yuki said made a lot of sense, but he was even clearer in his heart that this matter was very important to him.
If they missed this opportunity, it might arouse suspicion from the person in charge. Besides, they had already put in so much effort and sacrifice, and he didn't want to give up halfway. Realizing this, a determined look flashed in his eyes.
Chapter 364 Making insinuations
Then, addressing the Silver Miyuki before him, he said:
"Oh dear, I'm telling you, don't worry unnecessarily. You know perfectly well that if that person in the relevant department wanted to do something, he would have done it already. The reason he hasn't taken action against us yet is twofold: first, I am of use to him, and second, we don't know anything about this yet."
After saying these words, Xia Yan's expression became serious. Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, naturally understood the meaning of Xia Yan's words and sighed softly. However, seeing Xia Yan's determined look, he knew that he could no longer persuade Xia Yan.
However, he was still very worried. After realizing this, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he prepared to go with Xia Yan this time.
Xia Yan had no suspicions, so that evening, he and Shirogane Yuki went directly to the location agreed upon by the person from the relevant unit.
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of confusion flashed in the man's eyes. He then glanced at Xia Yan beside him, who remained calm and said with a smile:
"Oh dear, it's all my fault for forgetting to introduce you. This is also a good friend of mine, his name is Shirogane Miyuki. You should know him too. He happened to be home alone today, and I had nothing else to do anyway, so I thought I'd make another friend. I hope you don't mind~"
A smile flashed in the eyes of the person from the relevant unit. He naturally understood Shirogane Miyuki's identity, and he was very clear about it in his heart. Now that there was another person, he could better investigate the matter. After realizing this, he smiled and said that he didn't care.
After Xia Yan introduced them to each other, the three of them talked and chatted for a while.
However, it is very likely that someone from the relevant unit deliberately led them, so the three of them are now talking about Master Long. Originally, Shirogane Yukichi and Natsuhiko were already very wary.
Moreover, they knew that this person had just made contact with the mastermind, so they were not surprised by his actions.
