Chapter 1773 - 1774: Who Is This
Ling Zhenfei and Suzuki Keiko on the second floor naturally heard the noise, and someone was waiting downstairs now. If Ling Zhenfei tried to leave through the window, he would surely be discovered.
But listening to the noise outside, Watanabe Nagayumi had already come in and was heading upstairs.
At this moment, Suzuki Keiko said to Ling Zhenfei, "Hide yourself well here, I'll go out."
Hearing the footsteps of Watanabe Nagayumi getting closer and closer, Suzuki Keiko opened the door and walked out.
"Who is it? Who's here so late?"
Suzuki Keiko put on a drowsy look, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"Keiko, it's me." Watanabe Nagayumi suddenly said upon seeing Suzuki Keiko come out.
Behind Watanabe Nagayumi, two other people were following. They had been following him all along and were somewhat stunned upon seeing Suzuki Keiko.
Suzuki Keiko also saw the two people behind Watanabe Nagayumi and retreated into the room, pretending to be surprised.
"You're really something, coming home at this time and bringing two people with you."
Suzuki Keiko's words carried obvious reproach, blaming Watanabe Nagayumi.
Watanabe Nagayumi didn't expect this to happen. He had originally just wanted to prove that there was no one hiding in his home.
Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Here's the thing, Keiko, tonight someone intruded into Watanabe Manor. Everyone is searching everywhere, and someone felt a hint of Northern Spiritual Energy wave in our home.
For safety, we came to take a look. Nothing happened here before we came, right?"
Suzuki Keiko feigned great surprise and said, "An intruder? Then quickly go and catch them. The place is so big, you all should quickly look around so they don't really sneak into my home."
Watanabe Nagayumi nodded to the two people and said, "Quickly check to see if there are any signs of intruders."
The two began to check everywhere, searching both upstairs and downstairs but found nothing amiss.
Finally, the two returned to their previous spot behind Watanabe Nagayumi.
Then they glanced towards Suzuki Keiko's room, clearly indicating that this was the last room remaining.
At this moment, Suzuki Keiko stood inside the room, the door half-open. She was standing outside in her pajamas, only showing her head as she spoke to them.
Seeing them like this, Suzuki Keiko said, "You want to search my room?"
The two nodded and said, "Now only Madam's room is left."
As soon as they spoke, Watanabe Nagayumi became angry, "What do you mean? My wife is here now, doesn't she know if anyone has entered her own room?
My wife is only wearing pajamas now, and you want to search? Who gave you the gall?"
The two were terrified and said, "Family Head, we won't go in. You can check yourself if you want. If everything is fine, we'll leave now."
After saying this, the two quickly walked out as if escaping.
With the two gone, only Suzuki Keiko and Watanabe Nagayumi were left at the doorway.
Ling Zhenfei's heart was in his throat. If Watanabe Nagayumi really intended to search, it would be over. Even without searching, simply entering and staying for a moment might already reveal the room's unique scent.
After intimacy, there would naturally be a special scent in the room.
Suzuki Keiko said to Watanabe Nagayumi, "It's late, come back and rest."
Watanabe Nagayumi replied bluntly, "So much has happened in the house. As the Family Head, how could I possibly sleep? I need to search everywhere, so close your door and make sure no intruders come in."
Suzuki Keiko said, "How long has it been since you came home, only to leave again when you do?"
Watanabe Nagayumi said, "We've been married for so long, you know how busy I am with work. Go to sleep, I'm leaving."
Watanabe Nagayumi's expression was cold. Perhaps Suzuki Keiko knew Watanabe Nagayumi wouldn't rest, which was why she spoke that way.
In an Island Nation, women's status was much lower, akin to how Watanabe Nagayumi treated Suzuki Keiko.
Watanabe Nagayumi left, and Suzuki Keiko closed the door and returned to the room.
Suzuki Keiko sat on the bed, appearing despondent. Ling Zhenfei gently patted her back to comfort her.
Suzuki Keiko was melancholy, telling Ling Zhenfei, "Now you know why I miss you so much? This man has no feelings for me, and I feel the same way about him."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then don't feel so sad."
Suzuki Keiko said, "I'm sad about my fate, not his attitude. You tell me, staying in such a small place every day, what else can I do?"
Ling Zhenfei knew it truly wasn't easy for Suzuki Keiko, wondering what a woman could do.
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you're unhappy, you can always travel. It might lighten your mood."
Suzuki Keiko said, "Do you think Watanabe Nagayumi would allow me to travel? I haven't gone out in a long time."
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "I know a way. Watanabe Nagayumi is a face-loving person. You can propose traveling in front of others.
Watanabe Nagayumi loves his reputation. He wouldn't dare to oppose you in front of others, and you'll likely succeed."
Not long after, Ling Zhenfei suddenly sensed a wave of Northern Spiritual Energy sweeping from afar, clearly still looking for him.
This wave must have been from Watanabe Goryu and paused a bit on Ling Zhenfei after discovering him.
Ling Zhenfei was caught off guard, realizing he had forgotten to conceal his aura.
The spiritual energy had lingered on Ling Zhenfei momentarily, possibly discovering him.
Ling Zhenfei said to Suzuki Keiko, "Not good, I might have been found. I need to leave now."
Suzuki Keiko was startled, saying, "It's okay, I managed to turn them away earlier."
Ling Zhenfei replied, "This is different. I've been swept by Northern Spiritual Energy. If I don't leave now, I might implicate you."
"Thank you. You're someone I'll never forget," Suzuki Keiko looked at Ling Zhenfei with warmth and admiration.
Ling Zhenfei didn't say much more. Feeling the Northern Spiritual Energy sweeping over again, he quickly flipped out of the window.
Ling Zhenfei moved swiftly, using the Blooming Step Technique, leaving Suzuki Keiko's house in an instant.
The earlier spiritual sweep paused briefly, noticing something was amiss. Another wave came to confirm Ling Zhenfei's location.
Ling Zhenfei was slightly alarmed but relieved by his quick decision. If the spiritual confirmation wave had found him at Suzuki Keiko's place, it would truly implicate her.
Realizing this, Ling Zhenfei purposely released a hint of his aura to avoid implicating Suzuki Keiko.
