Chapter 225 Alcatraz
Chapter 226 Alcatraz

"Mr. Liufeng, I wonder what are you doing here today? Is there anything?" After returning to the center of the island, in the administrative building where Shoulang lived, Shoulang asked me.

"No, I just brought my family to see this place." As I said that, I introduced the new faces, Shiho and Akemi, to Skinny Wolf.

"These two... are also Ling Jing?" Skinny Wolf's eyelids twitched.

"Um... ahem, this one's name is Haibara Ai." I patted Shiho's shoulder. "That's my sister, Masami."

"Oh, I'm sorry for being rude." Skinny Wolf apologized. "Ms. Huihara Ai, Ms. Huihara Masami, welcome here. Please allow me to apologize for my voice."

"Puchi..." Mingmei and Shiho laughed. They immediately understood what I meant when I asked Mingmei to use a pseudonym. So they didn't say much. They just greeted Shoulang naturally.

"Mr. Ryukaze. Is Miss Haibara in the same situation as you?" Seeing Shiho's expression, Shoulang asked me.

"Yeah, it's also smaller. Because of the medicine." I nodded. "By the way, Shoulang, I have a medicine here, you can study it and see if you can make it." As I said that, I waved my hand and asked Jingliu to pass the special medicine over.

"This is..." Skinny Wolf asked as he took the medicine bottle.

"I got it from somewhere else. If you can study it thoroughly, you can make it. It's a very useful hemostatic potion. It can also quickly restore the body."

"Okay, I'll let my pharmacology researchers try it." Skinny Wolf nodded. "So do these two also need ID cards?"

"Yes, and Sister Yamei needs to dress up." I nodded. "No need for Ai, just do it as it is."

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away. Please wait a moment." Skinny Wolf said to me. "Hinata, take the two of you to the administration department to handle the files."

"Yes, boss." After not seeing each other for a long time, Hinata Yuki has completely gotten used to the work here. As expected of a secretary of a wealthy family, she can help Shoulang to do everything in an orderly manner no matter what the matter is.

"How capable is Sister Hinata in getting things done?" I asked Skinny Wolf after Hinata led Shiho and Akemi out of the living room.

"Her ability to handle things, her way of dealing with things, and her ability to respond to emergencies are all excellent. She is truly the perfect choice for a secretary," Skinny Wolf praised. "She has only been here for such a short time, but I have already given her all the company's affairs to take care of. Although it is hard work, I see that she enjoys it. I can't say much."

"After all, she was born as a senior secretary of a wealthy family. Without such strength, I can't bring her to you." I said with a smile. "By the way, next, I will leave Sister Yamei with you. Her situation is rather special and she cannot show up. In particular, I need you to keep an eye on her and never let her run away from this island selfishly. Of course, you can let her disguise herself occasionally and go out to see the world. Although she is not as skilled as Hinata Yukira in handling affairs, you can give her some of your secret things. She knows my background well. You can also cooperate with her without worry."

"Okay, I understand." Skinny Wolf nodded, "That's great, this way I can take care of both sides. Hinata's pressure will also be much less."

"Well, next, didn't you ask us to come up with a name last time? So I brought them here. Let them take care of this task."

"Eh? This... okay." Skinny Wolf thought about it. It wasn't a big deal anyway. The entire island was bought by Mr. Liufeng alone. As long as he was happy with the name ownership, it was fine.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. I will find time to do some tasks and get funds. By the way, was the vote from the government last time effective?"

"Yes, we provoked a conflict between King Cobra and the government, and then eliminated him. Now the government no longer mentions anything about the mission to me, but they do hope that if you have time, you can protect them while they deal with state affairs."

"That's easy. Just remember to notify me when they are ready to face the public."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Skinny Wolf bowed slightly and left the living room.

"Bing, are you going to leave Mingmei here?" Jingliu asked me after Shoulang left.

"Well, she is just like you, she cannot meet people outside. If it wasn't for you to come back to pick them up, I would definitely leave you here."

"You mean, I have to stay here again?"

"...I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position, Sister Jingliu." I smiled awkwardly. "Just be patient for a while. Let me first clear out all the people in the organization in Mihua City. Then you can come back."

"Sweep it clean? What do you want to do?" Jingliu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Well, let's wait for an opportunity. I can't do anything in a short period of time." I frowned. "I need to wait for Taiyi's news, and Ling's. Otherwise, I can't start the action."

"...I understand." Jingliu responded to me calmly. "But, Bing, you have to promise me that you will never put yourself in confusion or danger. I don't want you to get hurt again."

"Well, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." I held Jingliu's hand and comforted him. "Anyway, the construction here will require your attention. Please help take care of Mingmei. Don't let her run away without permission. Of course, it's okay to go back to the villa occasionally."

"Okay, I got it. Leave it to me." Jingliu nodded.

About an hour later, Shiho and Akemi came back with their new ID cards.

"How is it? How's the environment here?" I asked the two of them.

"Not bad." Shiho replied. "Bing, this... is it yours?"

"Well, the whole island belongs to me. It's still under construction. This is where we will live in the future."

"after?"

"Yes, I will stay in my own home until the work is finished here. So, today we are facing a problem." I said with a little seriousness. "Shiho, next I need you to make a choice, whether you choose to stay here with Mingmei, or let Mingmei and Jingliu stay here and you come back with me." "Huh?" Shiho was stunned by my sudden question.

"You have to know that the current situation is that Sister Jingliu and Sister Mingmei should not appear in public." I said seriously. "If Sister Mingmei and Sister Jingliu live in Beihua City for a long time, it will pose a threat to their safety. You have to know that there are people from the organization all over the world. But only here, under our strict control, the chance of the organization going deep into it is very small, so Sister Jingliu and Sister Mingmei can stay here. And they must stay here. In this way, safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent."

“…” After hearing what I said, Shiho fell silent.

"Shiho." Mingmei seemed to understand the current situation better, so she squatted down and said to Shiho. "Shiho, I think what Bing said makes sense. Sister Shizuru and I cannot appear in front of the public. After all, we are no longer in this world. If we appear again, it is very likely that you and Bing will be in dire straits."

"I know that too." Shiho was a little distressed. "But... I don't want to be separated from my sister like this."

"Shiho, you can choose to stay here," I explained. "You can also stay here and build this island with Sister Mingmei and Sister Shizuru."

"What about you?" Shiho looked at me.

"Me? I need to stay outside. On the one hand, I can take care of my family. On the other hand, I can better investigate the organization's actions outside." I replied.

"How can you change back without me?"

"Well... you can also do research here. The facilities here are quite complete."

"Stupid, how are you going to explain to Kudo Shinichi?" Shiho frowned. "Forget it, I'll go back with you." After thinking about it, Shiho compromised. "At least, I don't want you to fight alone anymore. Sister, stay here, I'll go back with you."

"Shiho, are you sure?" I looked at Shiho seriously again.

"Yes, I'm sure." Shiho nodded firmly. "If you and I are together, there is still room for discussion. Otherwise, with your solitary personality, you won't tell us even if you find traces of the organization." Shiho looked straight at me, as if she could see through my eyes and see all my thoughts. "So, I will go back with you. And it's not like my sister and I can't see each other anymore, right? We can come visit her anytime, right?"

"..Okay. Then, Sister Jingliu, Sister Mingmei, for the next period of time, you will just have to bear with it and help me develop this island."

"Well, Bing, you have to take good care of Shiho." Mingmei smiled at me.

"I will. Take care of yourself and don't work too hard." This is the care from Jingliu.

"Oh, don't worry, Shiho and I will have a lot of fun together... Hiss! It hurts, it hurts..." Before I could finish my words, Shiho had already grabbed the soft flesh on my waist and turned it 180 degrees.

"Bing, I find that you are becoming more and more frivolous after not seeing you for two months." Shiho stared at me with her half-moon eyes narrowed.

"Uh... is there?" I played dumb. "Anyway, let's just take a good look around here today. I'll also tell you about the situation here and why I got this island."

A few hours later, I drove around the island with Shiho, Mingmei, and Shizuru. On the way, I told them how I escaped from the organization and got the island with Shoulang. Shiho and Mingmei were secretly shocked. They didn't expect that I, who always advocated low-key and silent, would do such a big thing in secret.

"So, you plan to develop this place, expand your power, and then find an opportunity to defeat the organization in one fell swoop?" After understanding, we stopped the car at the beach. Shizuru and Akemi got out of the car and went for a walk together, while Shiho sat in the front of the car, swinging her legs lightly, looking at the sea view, and asked me.

"Well, it's difficult to defeat the organization's huge system alone. So I must establish a force that can compete with it. And I'm outside, on the one hand, to continue to make money here, and on the other hand, I will have a greater chance of finding the organization's flaws alone. After all, exposing myself is better than exposing the force behind me." I leaned against the front of the car, accompanying Shiho to watch the beautiful scenery of the sunset falling into the horizon.

"I never thought that you would have come so far alone in the outside world we don't know." Shiho gently stroked her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze. "But it's okay this way. I also want to completely eliminate that organization, and then live a carefree and happy life here with you..."

"Well... who wouldn't want to?" I looked off into the distance. "It's just that I don't know when we can live like this again."

Seeing me hesitate, Shiho raised her lips slightly. She came close to me, stood on tiptoes, and kissed me lightly on the lips.

"Hmm?" The sudden kiss made me pause slightly. "Why did you suddenly..."

"This is your reward." Shiho put her hands behind her back and walked towards the beach. She looked very lovely. "Bing... No, maybe from today on, I will call you Xun." Shiho looked back at me. "Xun, I believe that day will come one day. You will never let me down, right?"

“…Ah, of course, I promise.” When I saw Shiho looking back, it seemed as if everything I had done was rewarded.

“By the way, didn’t you say that you had a task for me?” Shiho turned around and walked towards me.

"Hmm? Oh, that's right." I suddenly realized. "This island doesn't have a name yet. Shiho, give it a name."

"Hmm? Should I name it?" Shiho tilted her head. "Hmm... Iceland? After all, it's your island, so I should name it after you, right?"

"I remember there seems to be a country called Iceland. Will we cause any disputes?" I thought about it and said.

"Indeed, then, Devil's Island?" Shiho thought about it. "Wouldn't it be a little scary?"

"Well... I'm planning to turn this into an entertainment island. If it's Devil's Island..."

"Then let's call it Alcatraz." Shiho thought for a moment and said, "This is the translation of Alcatraz Island in the United States. If we say it in Japanese, it won't be repeated. And we changed A to Ai, and the Romans at the beginning and end can also spell Ice. It matches your name."

"Oh? This is good." My eyes lit up. Alcatraz. Not only the "Ice" at the beginning and the end, but also the "Ai" at the beginning can be homophonic with Shiho's "Ai". It's a good choice.

"Well... then it's settled, Alcatraz!"
