Chapter 76 Long Time No See, Stepfather
"you……"
Lin Xiu froze on the spot. The woman in his arms smelled both familiar and strange. Her eyes, looking at him through Sato Miwako's face, held a captivating charm etched into his very bones.
He stared blankly at the other person, his mind racing, and an absurd yet unique answer gradually became clear.
"Heh, you finally noticed?"
"Sato Miwako" chuckled softly, her voice losing Sato's competence and gaining a touch of lazy huskiness.
She tilted her head slightly, her fingertips gently stroking Lin Xiuyi's neck, her tone carrying its usual teasing tone.
"My stepfather, it's been so long."
I am!
Lin Xiu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze.
The term "stepfather" is highly ironic, and over the years, only one person has dared to use it to address him in this tone: Chris Vineyard!
Sharon's "daughter," the witch who is skilled in disguise and disguise!
"You are...Chris..."
Lin Xiuyi was about to say her full name,
Suddenly, "Sato Miwako" tiptoed and pressed her soft lips against his, silencing the words he was about to say.
The woman's kiss carried a hint of domineering possessiveness, mixed with a subtle trace of grievance, making Lin Xiuyi momentarily forget to resist.
"Thump!"
A crisp collision suddenly broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the corridor. The two people who were kissing stopped at the same time and turned around together.
Yumi was standing helplessly at the corner. The commotion she had just made was from her bumping into a trash can in the aisle in her panic.
"I'm so sorry! I just came out to use the restroom..."
Yumi stammered as she explained, her hands flailing nervously, her eyes involuntarily glancing at the two of them.
"No, but I don't want to go anymore! You guys continue! Continue!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran back to the private room like a startled rabbit, her face flushed, her steps so hurried that she almost bumped into the wall.
As she ran to the door of the private room, the female traffic police officer couldn't help but glance back, her mind racing with unease.
I never expected this! I never expected this!
Miwako, who usually seems so calm and capable, actually fell in love with a handsome older man at first sight!
On their second meeting, the two openly kissed in the hallway...
Tsk tsk, I've known Miwako for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen her so proactive and enthusiastic!
Yumi returned to the private room with a belly full of gossip, looking extremely uneasy and restless. She couldn't even concentrate on singing her favorite song.
Although Natsumi Tsujimoto and Miyuki Kobayakawa were her subordinates, the three of them got along like sisters in private and never distinguished between superiors and subordinates. Upon seeing this, they immediately came over and asked with concern.
Yumi is known throughout the Metropolitan Police Department for being a big mouth and can't keep anything to herself.
After being bombarded with questions by the two of them, she couldn't hold back any longer and lowered her voice to tell them everything she had seen in the corridor, even describing the details of their kiss clearly.
"What?! Miwako is actually in the hallway with Mr. Hayashi...!"
Natsumi Tsujimoto stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief, forgetting to even put the snacks in her hand into her mouth.
Miyuki Kobayakawa was so shocked that she covered her mouth, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were full of astonishment.
Although they both found Lin Xiuyi witty and generous and had some affection for him, they only considered him a friend.
After all, there was a ten-year age gap between them, and they had never thought about being boyfriend and girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, the usually composed Miwako Sato was so bold, falling completely in love after only two meetings and making such intimate gestures.
"I'm telling you, this is Miwako's private matter, so please don't spread rumors!"
Yumi lowered her voice and gave a serious instruction.
"If Miwako finds out I leaked it, I'm in big trouble!"
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that Natsumi Tsujimoto and Miyuki Kobayakawa had silently taken out their phones and were rapidly typing on the screen, clearly sending messages.
"Hey, you two..."
Yumi hurriedly reached out to grab the phone, but it was too late.
The two of them had already sent what they had just heard to the Metropolitan Police Department's internal group chat, verbatim.
The group chat exploded the next second:
"What?! That bastard Lin Xiuyi actually dared to take advantage of Miwako!"
"That's outrageous! Miwako is such a good person, how could he act so quickly!"
"Tsujimoto, Kobayakawa, report your location immediately! We're coming over to teach him a lesson!"
"Count me in! We can't let Miwako suffer!"
……
Yumi gasped in shock as she watched the messages pop up on her phone screen.
She clasped her hands together and silently wailed in her heart: I'm sorry, uncle!
It's really not that I wanted to harm you this time, it's just that those two girls acted too quickly!
……
At the same time, Shiratori Ninzaburo, Takagi Wataru, and Chiba Kazunobu did not go to karaoke, but instead found a nearby izakaya to continue drinking alone.
The izakaya was dimly lit, and the three of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts, creating a somber atmosphere.
Just as Chiba and Shinichi were enjoying a grilled chicken skewer in each hand, their phones suddenly vibrated.
He freed one hand to pick up his phone, opened the Metropolitan Police Department group chat, and almost dropped the chicken skewer in his mouth after reading the message.
Seeing this, Shiratori and Takagi also picked up their phones to check.
next second.
"My Miwako..."
Shiratori Ninzaburo had just taken a sip of beer when, accompanied by a mournful cry, he spat it out, splattering it all over the table in front of him.
He clutched his chest, his eyes filled with heartbreak and anger, as if he had suffered a tremendous blow.
Takagi Wataru, standing beside him, was even more pathetic. He was frozen in his chair as if under a spell, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself incessantly.
"It's all my fault... I told Mr. Hayashi about Officer Sato's preferences, I handed her over to that pervert... It's all my fault..."
Compared to the two's breakdown, Chiba Kazunobu was much calmer.
After reading the message, he paused for a moment, then lowered his head and continued munching on his grilled chicken skewers, muttering indistinctly, "Well, as long as Officer Sato is happy."
For him, what's more interesting than Kamen Rider figurines and kebabs?
After finishing his chicken skewer, Chiba Kazunobu glanced at his phone screen and saw that his seniors from the First Investigation Division were already organizing a team to go to the karaoke bar to "settle scores" with Hayashi Hideichi.
He glanced at the two remaining skewers of grilled chicken on his plate, then at the dejected Shiratori and Takagi beside him, and slowly suggested, "Aren't you two also suitors of Inspector Sato? Why don't you go join the fun?"
……
Just as chaos erupted inside the Metropolitan Police Department and everyone rushed to the karaoke bar, the atmosphere in the karaoke bar's corridor became ambiguous and tense once again.
