Chapter 206 Not Here
Chapter 207 Not Here
"Bing, are you feeling better?" Jingliu carried me downstairs. At this time, there were the three sisters of the Ning family and Mingmei downstairs. Mary assisted Jingliu in the operation and returned to the hospital to continue her work. After all, she might receive a call from Vermouth at any time, and it would not be a wise move to stay with me all the time. Seeing me coming down, Mingmei hurried forward to ask about my condition.

"As you can see, it's not bad." After Jingliu put me down, I said with a weak voice. "I'm so hungry, let's eat first. Axue."

"Okay, Mr. Mingya, it's ready for you. I'll heat it up and bring it over." Ningxue bowed slightly and ran into the kitchen. Ningyue and Ningshuang followed her in.

"Bing... I'm sorry." After seeing the girls from the Ning family leave, Mingmei said to me with a hint of apology. "You got hurt so badly to save me. If anything happens to you, how can I explain to Shiho..."

"Okay, Sister Mingmei." I smiled faintly. "I'm fine now, right? I just slept a few more days. But you, you haven't left your room these days, right? I'm sorry for you."

"That's not true, Bing." Mingmei shook her head. "If you hadn't saved me, I might not even have the chance to walk around in this room. I also know that this is an emergency, and as a dead person, it would be very dangerous to show up again, so I have to stay here until you make the next arrangement for me."

"Well, anyway. I'll solve Shiho's problem first, and then we'll continue discussing this issue after I pick her up." I smiled at Mingmei.

"Shiho? Did she escape?" Mingmei was a little surprised.

"Well, I just called to confirm that she has indeed escaped and is safe now. I will pick her up after dinner. Of course, Sister Mingmei, you have to wait here. Um... tonight, I will bring her over. Don't worry."

"Really? Are you telling the truth, Bing?" Mingmei trembled with excitement. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" I said calmly. "Anyway, just wait for my news tonight."

"Okay, okay... Thank you, thank you Bing." Mingmei's tears rolled down quietly, because she had been waiting for this day, waiting for the day when she and Shiho would leave the organization and live together after reuniting for ten years.

"Well, let's fill our stomach first." I smiled at Mingmei. According to Jingliu, I hadn't eaten for more than a hundred hours and was relying on IV drips to maintain my life. I was extremely weak at this time and needed to eat something quickly to promote gastrointestinal motility. Of course, at this stage, I could only eat some porridge or other liquid food. However, Ningxue and the others knew my situation at the moment, so when they brought the food to the table, there was only a pot of thick meat porridge and a few simple light dishes.

"Bing, what should we do after you bring Shiho back? Continue hiding?" Mingmei asked me at the dinner table.

"Well...it depends on what Shiho thinks. After all, her situation is the same as mine."

"Huh?" Mingmei was slightly surprised.

"Yeah, it's also gotten smaller." I said calmly while eating porridge.

"how come?!"

"Well... it's hard to explain." I took a breath and calmed down. "Shiho's choice is up to her, but as for you, Sister Mingmei, I need to place you in a place where the organization won't show up."

"This... can't let me be with Shiho?"

"Of course you can, but Shiho has to be willing to hide with you." As I spoke, I took another bite of the porridge in my bowl. "I need some time to accumulate power and wealth, so that I can have the strength to compete with the organization. In short, everything can only be concluded after Shiho comes back."

"Then...is there anything I can do?" Mingmei asked with a questioning look.

"Huh..." After hearing Mingmei's words, the spoon that was about to reach my mouth suddenly stopped. Putting down the spoon, I looked at Mingmei with a slightly serious look.

"Sister Mingmei, do you really want to do something for me? Whatever it is?"

"Yes." Mingmei nodded. "Ten years ago, I entrusted my sister to you, and it's the same now. I can give everything for my sister."

"Really?" I asked again.

"Yes." Mingmei nodded solemnly.

"Well, I really need you to do one thing, Sister Mingmei." As I spoke, a hint of indifference flashed across my eyes. "That is, from today on, you must completely sever your relationship with Moroboshi Dai, and never let him know that you are still alive."

"Eh?!" Mingmei's pupils suddenly shrank. She never expected that I would make such a request. "Break off relations with the prince?"

"That's right." I said again seriously. "Cut off all ties with Moroboshi Dai. Don't let him know you're still alive."

"But he is..."

"FBI?" I interrupted Mingmei coldly. "Humph, the organization's top killer, Rey, Rye Whiskey, is also the FBI's ace investigator, Shuichi Akai. Haha, if there is someone in this world that I want to kill the most, then Shuichi Akai is definitely the first one!"

Half an hour later, on the way to school.

"Bing...is this really okay?" Jingliu asked me while driving.

"Huh? What?" I came back to my senses.

"Mingmei and... and Akai Shuichi." Jingliu frowned slightly. "Will you hurt Mingmei by saying that?" The conversation with Mingmei in my villa half an hour ago shocked Mingmei so much that she didn't know what to say. But Mingmei didn't deny my words. She also knew that I must have my reasons for doing this, so although it was difficult, Mingmei nodded and agreed. Maybe she didn't know the real reason, but at this moment, she still chose to believe me and listened to my words.

"Ah..." I let out a long sigh. "Even if she didn't mention it just now, I would have found a chance to tell her." I leaned back in my chair and looked out the window again. "If Mingmei liked someone else, maybe I could still find a way to get that person out of the organization. But that person happened to be Akai Shuichi."

"You... have a grudge against that Akai Shuichi?" Jingliu asked cautiously. After all, it was a matter related to the organization. Jingliu also knew that I didn't like her asking too much.

"Heh..." I sneered disdainfully. "Not only the festival, if it weren't for him, how could that mission have almost let..." I suddenly shut up halfway through my words.

"Is it because of...that thing?" Jingliu seemed to know what I was going to say.

"That's right." Thinking back to what Akai Shuichi had done, the anger in my heart turned into a faint murderous intent and emanated. "Bing, it's all over." Feeling the fluctuation of my emotions, Jingliu gently placed the hand holding the gear shifter on my hand. "Don't think about it anymore, at least she's still alive, isn't she?"

"Huh..." Feeling the warmth on my hand, I turned my hand over and gently pinched Jingliu's soft hand, and the murderous intent in my heart gradually receded. "Forget it, don't think about those unpleasant things. I'm going to see Shiho soon, why are you still talking about these things." When I thought of Shiho, my mood instantly brightened up a lot.

"Hehe, that's right~" Seeing that I had recovered my mood, Jingliu also returned to smiling.

"Well, let's stop here." Looking at the distance, I said to Jingliu when we were one street away from the school. "Let me get off here. If this supercar is seen near the school, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of discussion."

"Yeah...that's right." Jingliu thought about it, then slowed down the car and dropped me off on the side of the road.

"Well, I'll go to school first. I'll pick Shiho up tonight." After getting off the car, I said to Shizuka.

"But..." Jingliu looked at the time. "It's almost time for your school to finish, right? Don't you want me to wait for you here?"

"No, those kids won't let go of my new classmate and me who haven't been to school for a week so easily. It will definitely take a lot of time. Sister Shizuka, you should go back first. Um... Shiho and I will probably go back a little later." Shizuka of course didn't know. I remember this part about Shiho very well. After Shiho met Conan, there were still two cases to be handled. If I want to go back, it will probably take a long time.

"Well, okay, I'll go back first." Jingliu took her bag and took out a small medicine bag from it and handed it to me. Inside the medicine bag, there were about six or seven white pills.

"This is... OxyContin?" Looking at the pills in the medicine bag, I shook my head helplessly. How long has it been since I last used this thing?
"Anyway, although your wound has been treated with the organization's special medicine, it will still hurt when you move. I didn't intend to give you this thing, but you should still take it with you. It would be bad if the wound is opened due to unintentional fighting between children. Well, even if it is just for emergencies, be careful not to get addicted." Jingliu winked at me, then closed the car door and left.

"Oh, this girl." I shook my head and smiled helplessly. But I still felt warm in my heart. Since the mission, Jingliu also knew my habits. Even for surgery, apart from the necessary anesthesia and some necessary drugs, I took very few other drugs, especially painkillers. But in the current situation, Jingliu was able to think of this drug and take it out at the first time. His concern for me is really beyond words.

I weighed the pill in my hand and my heart warmed. Then I put it into the necklace and walked towards the school.

Ding Dong... Ding Dong...

I arrived at the school gate, but before I walked in, I heard the school bell. I looked at the time and saw that the last class had already started. I raised my eyebrows, greeted the guard at the gate, and then walked into the teaching building.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

. . . On the other side, Class 1-B was in class a few minutes before the bell rang.

"Hey Conan, what do you think this new transfer student should be like?" After class, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were discussing the transfer student they had just heard about. So Ayumi also talked to Conan.

"Hmm? I think he's probably a bookworm or something like that?" Conan looked completely uninterested. Instead of thinking about what the transfer student was like, he put more of his attention on another guy who hadn't shown up. Holding his phone, Conan habitually called Kaoru again, but the response he got was still that no one answered. Although the news he got from Xiaolan was that Kaoru had returned to her mother, Conan, who knew Kaoru's background well, wouldn't be fooled by such words. It was just that he couldn't contact Kaoru, so in his own opinion, Kaoru should have taken the opportunity to do something. But even if it was a mission, he left without a word. Could it be a red assassination mission instead of a green one? Conan's thoughts were flying around, but they were meaningless because the person involved was not here at all. Everything was just fantasy, not even reasoning.

"Hey? That means Conan thinks it's a boy?" Ayumi analyzed herself.

"Well... probably." Conan smiled apologetically.

"But, Ayumi, didn't you see this person in the faculty office?" Genta asked behind Ayumi.

"Well, I only heard his name. His last name is Huiyuan."

"Grey Yuan?"

"Well, gray for gray, prairie for prairie."

"This last name...why does it feel weird since it's the same as Xun's?" Mitsuhiko said subconsciously.

"Well... But it seems like we haven't seen Xiaoxun for a long time, right?" Ayumi thought for a while and said, "It seems like he hasn't come to class for a week. Conan, you said last time that it was Xiaoxun's mother who took him back because he was sick, right?"

"Hmm? Ah, yes." Conan came back to his senses. "So I didn't contact him after that, and no one answered the phone."

"Is Xiaoxun seriously ill? He can't even touch his phone..." Ayumi couldn't help but worry. "I don't know where Xiaoxun's home is. Otherwise, we can go see him."

Ding Dong... Ding Dong...

As they were talking, the bell for class rang. Everyone dropped the topic and looked towards the door. They all knew that the transfer student was about to show up.

Hula...

As soon as the bell rang, the classroom door was opened by Teacher Kobayashi. Next to her was a little girl, who was the new transfer student.

"It's a girl!"

"Tan brown hair?"

"What a temperament."

"So cute!" When they saw the transfer student coming in, all the children except Conan shouted this word.

"Okay, students, go back to your seats." Teacher Xiaolin said to everyone in unison. After hearing the teacher's words, the children immediately returned to their seats obediently. Because they all knew that the teacher was going to start introducing the new girl.

"She's just a girl, is it that strange?" Conan squinted his eyes and looked at the girl with brown short hair and wearing a burgundy sleeveless high-necked T-shirt. "Huh?" Looking at her, Conan suddenly felt a little strange, because this new girl, the first time she came into the class, began to look around the whole classroom, as if she was looking for something. But soon, Conan gave up his curiosity. A new group, as a transfer student, it's no big deal to look at the classmates who will study with him in the future. However, after Conan dispelled his curiosity, he didn't see it. In that short moment, after the girl looked around the whole classroom, a little loss and loneliness appeared in her blue eyes. Between her lips, a voice as soft as the song of an oriole uttered a sentence with a little sadness.

"he's not here."
