Chapter 457: Prepare to Catch a Turtle in a Jar
I guess she had already started thinking about this during the climax of the meal.
When everyone agreed to walk home, she kept talking, seemingly not getting bored at all: "First of all, our apartment is not far from the Chinese restaurant, but it has to pass through a small alley where bad guys often hang out. Three men..."
She suddenly looked at Fujiwara Takumi, Hojo Go and Hojo Rin in front of her, her eyes curved into crescents, and she looked at the three men with a professional fake smile, and said with a smile: "You have to protect me."
The three men nodded lazily.
Actually, the destination was not far away. Along the way, they were discussing things about the Chinese restaurant and commenting on the food.
"I don't know what you guys think, but Seiichi really put a lot of effort into it. I even tested him on purpose and tried to say the worst about our studio, but he didn't seem to care at all. I still admire him for that."
This is how Uehara Mika evaluated Seiichi, and it is actually exactly the same as what Fujiwara Takumi wants to say.
When they were almost reaching the apartment, Hojo Go, who had sharp hearing, seemed to notice that someone was following them, and he told Fujiwara Takumi about it.
Fujiwara Takumi also vaguely heard footsteps other than theirs.
Fujiwara Takumi felt something was wrong, and for safety reasons, he asked Uehara Mika to go back to the house first.
Fujiwara Takumi guessed that the people following them might be hiding in the dense trees not far away. After confirming that Uehara Mika had returned home, he took Hojo Go and Hojo Rin to check, ready to catch the turtle in the jar.
As it turned out, those people seemed to have discovered it long ago, and they pushed aside the dense bushes and directly attacked Hojo Rin and others. At first, their target was only Fujiwara Takumi, but later they found that Hojo Rin and Hojo Go were too much of a nuisance, so they started to wrestle with them.
The three of them were attacked for no apparent reason. They were not prepared and only reacted suddenly, so they were caught off guard. Indistinctly, those people bypassed the bushes and pounced on them.
Of course, Hojo Rin didn't want Hojo Go and Fujiwara Takumi to be in danger, so she stood in front without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the sudden attack was so powerful that Hojo Rin retreated several steps.
The force was so great that Hojo Rin couldn't hold it back. Blood flowed from her throat to her mouth, and then she spat out a small mouthful of blood. Fujiwara Takumi and Hojo Go were naturally very worried.
Unfortunately, the opponent moved too fast. Before Fujiwara Takumi could ask about Hojo Rin's situation, he saw an enemy rushing towards him from the corner of his eye. He didn't care about Hojo Rin's injury, patted Hojo Go's shoulder, and said hurriedly: "Take good care of your brother. If I really can't do anything, you can act according to the situation."
After hearing this, Hojo Go nodded, indicating that he understood, and then checked Hojo Rin's injuries. As expected, the injury was serious, and there was a bruise on the chest that was not too big or too small, which made people feel distressed.
Unfortunately, the people who followed and suddenly attacked them all wore black clothes and black hoods. Even their shoes were dark blue, which made Fujiwara Takumi and his companions very embarrassed. After all, it was late at night, and if a few people had poor eyesight, they would probably die soon.
However, Fujiwara Takumi had sharp eyes and quick movements. He was very alert and could easily detect movements around him. He could notice any slight disturbance, so even if those people in black clothes came towards him, it would be difficult for them to deal with him.
Hojo Go also realized that Fujiwara Takumi could not deal with these people alone, so he quickly put the injured Hojo Rin in an inconspicuous corner, and then followed Fujiwara Takumi to fight.
Hojo Gou has practiced some martial arts, but he is still a little behind Fujiwara Takumi. However, it is not difficult to deal with these men in black. There are three men in black in total, and Hojo Gou can barely deal with two of the weaker ones.
The remaining man who looked capable fought with Fujiwara Takumi for a long time. When Fujiwara Takumi approached him, he saw his face clearly. This man turned out to be Aso! Aso seemed to know that it was not worthwhile to continue fighting, so he asked his men to retreat.
Fujiwara Takumi was quite strong and was able to defeat the two men in black, but he didn't understand why these people attacked them. "What the hell is going on?!"
Fujiwara Takumi looked at Hojo Go and told him frankly: "Um... no no no, those people in black were arranged by Aso. I saw Aso."
Hojo Go went to retrieve the surveillance video so that there would be a record. After recording, they carried Hojo Rin home. After returning home, they told Uehara Mika what happened. Uehara Mika was very worried, and then went to the room to get medicine to apply to Hojo Rin.
The next day, Fujiwara Takumi came to Seiichi's studio as agreed. Seiichi warmly entertained Fujiwara Takumi, pouring him water and introducing his studio. Seiichi's studio was indeed established earlier than Fujiwara Takumi's, but Fujiwara Takumi knew the man who came out of the warehouse, it was Aso.
Just when Fujiwara Takumi saw Aso, Aso also saw Fujiwara Takumi. His expression was very unhappy, even a little unhappy, but because he still had a client, he just rolled his eyes at Fujiwara Takumi and left.
Unfortunately, Seiichi didn't notice and continued to earnestly introduce the advantages of his studio to Fujiwara Takumi, although Fujiwara Takumi's eyes were always on Aso.
He also thought Aso was very funny. Whenever Aso looked at him, he would curl his lips and smile. This disdain made Aso feel itchy inside.
After all, Aso originally wanted to take a few brothers to teach Fujiwara Takumi a lesson last night, but he didn't expect that Fujiwara Takumi saw the whole thing in the middle. He had to grit his teeth and leave, but he was unwilling to do so.
Fujiwara Takumi didn't plan to ask Aso, he wanted to ask Seiichi himself. He looked at Seiichi and smiled: "Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about your teammates, are they... okay?"
Although Chengyi didn't understand, he answered truthfully: "It's good. They are all very obedient and united. Their skills are also good. If our two studios cooperate in the future, business will definitely be good."
Fujiwara Takumi just nodded, smiled at Seiichi, and then turned his attention to Aso, who was concentrating on teaching the students how to race very seriously.
Seichi seemed to be very considerate and shouted to a distance away: "Aso! Come here." Even though there was Fujiwara Takumi, an annoying person next to him, Aso still walked over reluctantly, with unhappiness written all over his face.
Seiichi didn't notice and immediately arranged for Aso to entertain Fujiwara Takumi. But Aso found another reason to refuse Seiichi's arrangement: "But I still have students here, let's talk about it later." The last sentence also gave Seiichi a way out.
Seiichi was too embarrassed to embarrass Aso anymore, so he smiled bitterly and told him to finish teaching the students quickly. Seiichi was about to get up to pour Fujiwara Takumi a glass of water, but Fujiwara Takumi stopped him, "Don't worry, I want... let Aso pour it for me."
