Chapter 124 Sniper
Akemi Miyano overheard the conversation between Hideichi Hayashi and his bodyguard.
Just as Lin Xiuyi said before, the black-clad organization has indeed decided to kill her.
Whether the sniper outside the door was just there to keep watch or to kill her to silence her, he definitely had ill intentions towards her.
The thought of this made Akemi Miyano's heart sink.
She instinctively reached out and grabbed Lin Xiuyi's arm.
"Mr. Hayashi, what about Shiho...?"
She didn't finish speaking, but her sapphire blue eyes were already filled with fear.
It wasn't for himself, but for his younger sister who was still trapped in the organization.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Lin Xiuyi held the girl's hand in return.
Akemi Miyano's palms were icy cold, which made his heart tighten slightly.
He cupped her slender fingers in his palm, gently applying pressure to transfer his warmth to them.
"Don't forget, your sister is a key member of that organization's drug development team. As long as she doesn't show any disloyalty to them, that organization won't deal with her arbitrarily."
Reassured by Lin Xiuyi's gentle words and feeling the warmth from his hand, Miyano Akemi's tense emotions finally calmed down.
Perhaps it was because of the accident just now, or perhaps it was like a drowning person finally grabbing onto a piece of driftwood.
Although Miyano Akemi's mind had calmed down, she still held onto Hayashi Xiuyi's arm, unwilling to let go.
"Let's wait in the store for a while," Lin Xiuyi said, pulling Miyano Akemi to a seat. "We'll make a decision after they've investigated the situation."
The spot he chose happened to be right next to Judy.
However, the blonde beauty no longer had any intention of eavesdropping on their conversation.
Her gaze was fixed on the opposite side through the semi-transparent window of the coffee shop.
Lin Xiuyi's bodyguard's unusual reaction just now naturally caught her attention.
Judging from the way Li Long stood in front of the coffee shop and shielded Lin Xiuyi behind him, the danger was clearly coming from outside.
The busy streets were unlikely to be the source of the attack, as this is not America, where you can encounter gunfights at any time while walking down the street.
Since the attack wouldn't come from the street, it must be coming from higher up.
Judy's mind raced, and her gaze quickly moved up the floors of the shopping mall opposite the coffee shop. Just then, she caught a glimpse of a flash of light.
Are there really assassins?
Judy was startled, then immediately turned her head to look at Akemi Miyano standing to the side.
According to the FBI's investigation, Lin Xiuyi did indeed have many enemies in the United States in his early years.
But most of those people have mysteriously disappeared, or are hiding in remote countries, living in constant fear.
During her time in Japan, Judy stayed by Lin Xiuyi's side almost constantly and didn't seem to offend any powerful figures.
If you think about it that way, the assassin outside is only targeting one person: Miyano Akemi.
Judy's brow furrowed slightly.
Although Akemi Miyano is her love rival, she is also considered one of the peripheral members of the Black Organization currently on the FBI's record.
Although we can't get much useful information from her, a living member of the organization is always more useful than a dead one.
At least, once the Black Organization is dealt with, she can become a tainted witness.
In addition, there's the connection with Shuichi Akai. Although Jodie is resentful that Akemi Miyano stole her boyfriend, her sense of justice won't allow her to stand by and watch Akemi Miyano be killed in front of her.
She glanced at Lin Xiuyi's direction. With his bodyguards protecting her, Miyano Akemi was safe for the time being.
Judy took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
She reached up and adjusted the collar of her coat, making sure her hat and sunglasses were on properly, before stepping out of the store.
Her disguise was quite good.
Although Lin Xiuyi saw the figure in the gray coat from behind, she didn't recognize her immediately.
But Li Long, who had been watching her closely for a long time, would not mistake her identity.
"Boss, that woman is Miss Judy."
"I understand." Lin Xiu nodded.
Judy's going out now is clearly to investigate the flash of light on the roof of the building across the street, which does not conflict with their purpose.
only--
Lin Xiuyi glanced at Miyano Akemi beside her. Judy should know her too.
If Judy discovers her whereabouts, Miyano Akemi could be imprisoned by the FBI, whether for protection or other purposes.
This is clearly not what Lin Xiuyi wanted to see.
It seems we still need to hide Akemi Miyano first.
……
At the same time, on the rooftop of the shopping mall opposite the West Island Cafe.
A woman wearing a black, tight-fitting leather jacket is slowly retracting her binoculars from the edge of the rooftop.
The leather coat clung tightly to her body, perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure, slender waist, long legs, and long golden hair that fluttered slightly in the wind.
This woman is, of course, Vermouth.
She stood on the edge of the rooftop, letting the afternoon wind blow through her hair.
The witch's gaze, peering through the lens of her telescope, clearly saw everything that was happening in the coffee shop.
Akemi Miyano threw herself into Hideaki Hayashi's arms and wept bitterly. Hayashi gently wiped away her tears, and the two sat down hand in hand...
Vermouth's lips curled into a cold smile.
In order to completely eliminate the troubles of the Miyano family, she had already planned to kill Miyano Akemi first, thereby making Miyano Shiho resent the organization, so that she would have a legitimate reason to take action.
However, after subtly probing Gin, she discovered that Gin also harbored murderous intentions towards Miyano Akemi.
Seeing this, Vermouth went along with it.
She volunteered to monitor Akemi Miyano to prevent her from doing anything foolish when she was desperate, such as informing the police.
And the reason she used to persuade Gin was very simple:
A year ago, Vermouth was chased by Shuichi Akai and almost lost her life.
This is no secret within the Black Organization.
Akemi Miyano was Shuichi Akai's former lover.
Although the two had officially broken up after Shuichi Akai fled the organization, many signs indicate that they were still entangled.
In Gin's view, Vermouth's actions were clearly intended to avenge Shuichi Akai's pursuit by killing Akemi Miyano.
Such heart-wrenching revenge is nothing out of the ordinary for Vermouth, this cold-blooded witch.
Gin had no doubts.
……
After discussing it with Gin, Vermouth began to keep an eye on Akemi Miyano while preparing to kill her once she had raised 1 billion yen.
These past two days, seeing that Akemi Miyano had applied for a job at a bank, Vermouth thought she was planning to rob the bank to raise the 1 billion yen.
The witch even felt a bit of admiration for this woman, admiring that she could do so much for her sister.
