Chapter 201 Mingmei's Choice
Chapter 202 Mingmei's Choice
Squeak...
The taxi stopped at the front door of my villa, and I walked straight towards the villa. It was still some time before night, and I needed to make some preparations.
"I'm back." I opened the door and shouted into the room.
"Welcome back, Bing~" Jingliu's sweet response came from upstairs very quickly. Then, Jingliu, wearing home clothes, ran downstairs.
"Bing~~" As soon as I came back, Jingliu pulled me into his arms and rubbed me non-stop.
"Hi, hi~ I'm back." Feeling Jingliu's embrace, I reached out to hug her delicate body and smiled gently. "Eh? Where are those three girls?"
"I went shopping for groceries because I haven't relaxed like this in a while. So I plan to make something delicious tonight." Jingliu smiled.
"Hey, no wonder you are so happy. Are you done with the work on the island?" I looked at Jingliu with amusement. That smiling face full of sunshine and vitality always warms my heart.
"Yes, the island has already entered the construction period, and what remains is just waiting for the details after completion." Jingliu took my hand and walked into the house. "By the way, why did you come back just now? Is the work done?"
"Yeah, things over there are basically over." I collapsed on the sofa and said unscrupulously. "Come back and rest for a while, there will be a big event tomorrow. So we need to prepare."
"Eh? Big event?" Jingliu tapped her red lips with her index finger as if thinking, but unfortunately, she got nothing. "Hmm... It doesn't seem like a big day?"
"Hmm? Oh, remember I told you a while ago that I wanted you to work at the Mihua branch of Siling Bank?"
"Hmm...you mean, the time you took the medicine? Akemi and Shiho!?" Shizuru reacted quickly.
"Ah, I've already met Sister Mingmei when I went to Siling Bank today." I looked up at her. "I might have a fight with the organization tomorrow, so I have to be fully prepared today." I didn't dare tell Jingliu that I would have a battle with Gin tomorrow, otherwise Jingliu would be very anxious. In the past, when I was an adult, I only won a small victory against Gin. Now in this body. Although my combat power has not decreased much, I will definitely be beaten to death by Gin.
"Hey... do we need to ask Ningxue and the others for help?" Jingliu frowned.
"No, that's not a battle they can participate in at their current level. I'll do it myself. It will be more convenient."
"What about the equipment?" Jingliu asked worriedly.
"Hey~ Sister Jingliu, you are becoming more and more professional. You even know that you need to check the equipment before the battle... Woohoo... I'm so angry... I'm so angry..." Before I could finish my words, Jingliu pinched my face fiercely.
"Bing...Is it because I haven't taught you a lesson for a long time, and you're itching to pick a fight again?" Jingliu smiled, but it seemed as if there was a little devil hiding behind that smile.
"I'm a jerk..." I begged for mercy incoherently.
"Hmph~ That's better." Jingliu, who had already thoroughly understood this kind of situation, naturally understood what I said. He put down his hand and rubbed my face, which had already turned red from being pinched.
"Hu..." I squinted my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry about the equipment, I have everything ready. But I do need to expand my arsenal. I will have a sum of money coming in soon. About 1 billion. I will bring it back tomorrow. Of course, Sister Mingmei will also come back, and then let her live here temporarily. Let's..."
Click. Click.
Before I could finish my words, the door opened. Looking in the direction of the door, I saw Ningxue and two others coming back carrying a lot of food, probably enough for two or three days.
"Mr. Mingya."
"Mr. Mingya."
"Mr. Mingya." When the three saw me coming, they immediately walked into the house and greeted me.
"Oh, welcome back." I greeted them in a relaxed manner. "That's great, you guys should take a break first. Prepare some refreshments or something, I'll go pack my equipment, then sit down and we'll talk slowly."

"So, you are going to rescue Mingmei tomorrow?" About two hours later, Jingliu sat next to me and asked me.
"Well, tomorrow will be a critical day. I will meet up with Sister Mingmei tonight, and then help her plan her escape plan for tomorrow."
"But, isn't it too dangerous to die in place of someone else?" Ning Xue's eyes were serious. "According to your strength, Mr. Mingya, the organization that trained you should be very powerful. In this case, using a bulletproof vest as a substitute for death is somewhat dangerous, right?"
"Ah, indeed, this is a huge gamble. But it is also the best and fastest way I can think of to get rid of the organization." At this point, I became a little serious. "For the organization, the only way to escape is death. So the only way to completely get out of the organization is to create a death for Sister Mingmei. And what I can do is to intervene and reduce the failure rate of this gamble to the lowest. This is also the only thing I can do."
After hearing what I said, the four girls present were silent. Ningxue and the others didn't say anything, but Jingliu should know how much determination I need to make to do something like this. After all, even my own life now was bought back by gambling. It can be said that in her eyes, I am the biggest gambler in the world, and I can even gamble my own life.
"Well, that's about it. To be on the safe side, Sister Jingliu, you can take Axue and disguise yourself a little, then go to the hospital to contact Mary and make a room here as a temporary operating room. It's better to be safe than sorry, so we should do our best, right?"
"Well... okay, I'll go to the hospital to find her later." After thinking for a while, Jingliu nodded gently. Ningxue also indicated that she understood.
"Well, then this way, Yue'er. Say hello to Shoulang. I will come back tomorrow with assets worth about 1 billion yen. Then I need to expand my weapons and equipment, as well as some basic items. I will make a list for you later. Just take it with you when the time comes." "Yes." Ningyue said solemnly.
"Then it's Shuang'er. You may have to work hard in the next two days." I smiled apologetically. "Have you investigated all the gates on this street?"
"Yes, Mr. Mingya." Ningshuang confirmed to me. "Not only that, we have installed several hidden electronic eyes on this street and near the room. The monitoring work is basically in place."
"Very good, then it will be for this week. I need you to pay more attention to the movements of this street, and let Xue and Yue'er assist you after they come back. Any wandering strangers must not be let go."
"Yes." Ningshuang replied seriously.
"Huh... Then, we'll be under martial law for this week. After Mingmei is rescued safely, I'll make arrangements for Shiho, and then we can..."
"Shiho?" Jingliu interrupted me in surprise.
"Ah, it's what I told you last time. Shiho is likely to become smaller like me and then escape. Anyway, the situation is very complicated, so I won't explain it. Just accept the reality when I come back." Seeing Ningxue and the others' confused faces, I was too lazy to explain. Just accept it anyway. "Anyway, let's do this for now. I'll bring Sister Mingmei back tomorrow." I stood up after saying that. "I'm leaving first. See you tomorrow. You've worked hard these past few days."
Seeing me stand up, everyone stood up to see me off. After Jingliu's instructions, I got out of my car and drove towards Ginza. There were still three hours before the time Mingmei and I agreed to meet.
When I drove to Ginza, it was not far from the time Mingmei and I had agreed to meet. I wanted to drive around a few times, but I saw Mingmei standing there early, looking around with a vigilant and anxious look on her face. So without thinking too much, I drove the car directly in front of her and opened the door.
"Get in the car," I said simply. Mingmei looked around and saw that it was me, then got in the car.
"Bing, where are we going? Why are you still alive? Weren't you given to me by Vermouth..." As soon as I got in the car, Mingmei started asking me about my affairs.
"Okay, okay, Sister Mingmei." I said while staring at the view ahead. "Let's go eat first, and then talk while we eat." As I said that, I drove the car to a hotel owned by Shoulang, parked the car, and then took Mingmei upstairs to the restaurant on the top floor.
"Ice... here..." Mingmei said with some worry. After all, it's such a high-end place.
"It's okay, Sister Mingmei." I laughed. "Don't worry, it's safe here." When I arrived at the top floor, I showed the waiter at the door a gold card with a wolf head engraved on the upper right corner. Seeing this card, the waiter immediately knew my identity. After a respectful bow, he took us to the VIP room in the restaurant. After entering the room, Mingmei and I sat down face to face. Although Mingmei's mind was a little behind, she still sat quietly, waiting for me to speak first.
Soon, the dishes were served one by one. Of course, we didn't order them deliberately, because the dishes served here are the best dishes of this restaurant. Only some special dishes that guests want to eat will be ordered separately.
"Okay, Sister Mingmei, eat something first, and then we can talk while eating. There's no use in being anxious." I smiled and picked up the ice water in front of me and drank it all.
"Well, okay." Although Mingmei was a little embarrassed, she still started to move the dishes in front of her. She helped in the robbery at noon, and then went back to work. Until now, Mingmei has not eaten.
"Well, before you ask me questions, Sister Mingmei, can you let me ask a few questions first?" Looking at Mingmei, I said calmly.
"Well, go ahead." After swallowing the food in her mouth, Mingmei looked at me intently.
"Shiho...are you okay?"
"Puchi..." Mingmei laughed when she heard my question. "As expected, you asked about my sister right away." Seeing Mingmei's expression, I relaxed a little bit, thinking nothing should have happened.
"My sister, I don't see her very often." After thinking for a while, Mingmei began to speak. "I saw her a week ago. But it was only that time." Mingmei's eyes dimmed again as she spoke. "You should know, right? Bing, my job in the periphery is to find the traitors of the organization. I have very little time to go back, but the last time I reported to the organization, I learned that the organization had moved to another place, and I can't go back for the time being. But Vermouth found me, and after getting information about the traitors from me, she arranged for me to meet with Shiho."
"Oh? Sister Bei would actually do this?" Mingmei's words made me frown. "Did she give a reason?" But Mingmei just shook her head.
"Well, it just said that the time is almost up, and you can handle the rest by yourselves." Mingmei recalled. "But I didn't know what it meant until I met my sister and found out that you were executed by Vermouth for defecting. By the way, Bing, how did you become like this?"
"We'll talk about that later. Sister Mingmei, what happened next? Why did you participate in this robbery plan?"
"I..." Mingmei felt a little regretful. "I did this because of what Vodka said."
"Vodka?" I frowned.
"Well, the day I met my sister, I learned that you were dead. Then all I could think about was how to get my sister out of the organization. I happened to meet Vodka on my way back. I plucked up the courage to ask him how to get my sister out of the organization. He said that as long as she paid the organization a 10 billion yen separation fee, she could leave. So I..."
"I..." After hearing what Mingmei said, I couldn't help but feel depressed. How could I let you go so easily? But I could understand what Mingmei said. After all, she didn't know I was still alive. Only Shiho knew about this. So it was normal for her to have such thoughts. After all, I was dead, and the last umbrella of protection in the organization was lost. She was so desperate to ensure Shiho's safety.
"Bing, what should I do now? Can you help me? Can you help me rescue Shiho?" Mingmei's eyes sparkled with tears when she said this. The anxiety was self-evident.
"Sister Mingmei, don't worry. We are still in control of the situation." I comforted her. "Calm down and stop crying. Listen to my plan."
"plan?"
