Chapter 520 - Sinister Behind Justice

Yi Yunrui took a look at his watch, finding that it was ten o’clock in Japan.

It could be said that it was midnight. Masahiro Shizuka’s decision to reply to him at this time must be made after careful consideration.

On the screen, Masahiro Shizuka was wearing a Japanese kimono with a severe countenance, pulling a long face.

“Mr. Masahiro, there are still six hours left. You have got a reply now?”

“Commander Yi.” Masahiro Shizuka wore a severe countenance, continuing, “As for your request, Third Rear Group has reached a decision.”

“I’m all ears.”

Masahiro Shizuka pressed his lips, pondered for such a while, and then replied, “We do not respond to your request!”

Yi Yunrui raised his eyebrows, asking, “Why?”

“Mr. Yi, I know you’ve got Yuriko. As her father, I think I do need to warn you that I will do something necessary if my daughter doesn’t return tomorrow. Please forgive my rudeness!”

Yi Yunrui slightly blinked.

Masahiro Shizuka was indeed a prickly character.

“I can surely understand that you love your daughter, but please give me a reason!”

“Do you remember a thing that happened ten years ago? An internal turmoil broke out in Third Rear Group and my daughter got into trouble. And then you saved her life.”

“Mmm.”

“I’m sorry, Commander Yi. As a soldier, you were a colonel before you took the post of commander ten years ago. According to law, soldiers with such ranks can’t go abroad. I don’t know the reason why you went abroad at that time and neither do I want to know it. At that time, thanks to your effort, my daughter has survived to this day. But we’ve kept track of your trip to Japan ten years ago. If you ask me to respond to your wife, all parties will ask how you and my daughter got to know each other, which will definitely reveal the thing that happened between you and her ten years ago. Once the matter is exposed, the situation will be against you. The Third Rear Group has decided not to respond due to your personal problems. Please understand!”

When Yi Yunrui heard that, his eyes deepened a lot.

Ten years ago, he had helped Masahiro Shizuka and Yuriko a lot. However, now Masahiro Shizuka cornered him. Indeed, there were no absolutes.

It could be seen that Masahiro Shizuka would stop at nothing to protect Yuriko.

Yi Yunrui remained silent and Masahiro Shizuka continued, “The thing I put forward to you just now about sending my daughter back to Japan also has something to do with your identity. It can stop those with sinister motives from doing anything to you. If that happens, I’ll feel really sorry about it!”

Masahiro Shizuka said it with great seriousness, which even amused Yi Yunrui.

On the surface, he was being quite serious, which stupefied others. This was what made Masahiro Shizuka a sinister person!

It was just that Yi Yunrui had already anticipated Masahiro Shizuka’s move!

“Good.” Yi Yunrui smiled, replying, “As for your words, I’ll take them into consideration. I’ve known a lot through your words. Thanks a lot. It’s getting late and my wife has fallen asleep. It’s inconvenient for us to speak. Mr. Masahiro, let’s call it a day and talk about it some other day.”

Masahiro Shizuka stirred but he soon calmed down, replying, “Please think it over! I’ll contact you three hours later. Bye!”

With that, Masahiro Shizuka hung up first.

“D*mn it! They are really impudent! How dare they threaten you!” Zhang Hai was filled with righteous indignation, scolding.

Meanwhile, Yi Yunrui was still smiling. Though Masahiro Shizuka’s move was risky, it was intimidating.

He had the upper hand in all aspects of the matter. He both has the evidence and witnesses. Though it appeared that Masahiro Shizuka had no chance of winning, he hit home just by a few words. It was possible that she could destroy him through this move.

He was a colonel ten years ago and he really couldn’t go abroad due to his identity.

Although he had a sound reason,

the supervisors would still punish him if Masahiro Shizuka revealed it no matter how legitimate his reason might be.

When Masahiro Shizuka met him ten years ago, he didn’t mention it at all. Maybe he thought this would give him a chance to hamper Yi Yunrui!

Now Masahiro Shizuka played the trump card, showing that he would stop at nothing to get his daughter back.

The ordinary would soon be beaten.

Would it begin now?

Masahiro Shizuka really stupid. Yi Yunrui was a soldier!

Wars were something he excelled at.

Or it should be said that he excelled at winning wars!

“Boss, what’s your plan? Boss, we can’t just let it slide!” Seeing the calmness in Yi Yunrui’s face, Zhang Hai knew his boss had definitely thought of a way as he worked for him for such a long time.

“Help me put through the chief Commander.”

“Yes, sir!”

Yi Yunrui narrowed his eyes, thinking about getting rid of Huo Zhanpeng by this chance!

Maybe because of going to sleep early or maybe because of getting hungry, Xia Ning woke up. Seeing the stars outside, she rolled over, finding that her husband wasn’t on the bed!

Xia Ning was fully awake at once!

Where was Yi Yunrui?

Wait, Yi Yunrui had said that he would smooth things out for her. Now that he wasn’t around, could it be…

Thinking of this, Xia Ning jumped out of the bed and rushed out of the bedroom without slippers, looking for her husband.

All the lights were off in the living room except the one at the entryway. All was quiet in the big room and nothing stirred. Xia Ning took a look around and found that the door of the study was closed. Despite that, the light was spilling under the door.

Yi Yunrui was inside?

Thinking of this, Xia Ning walked over to the study. And then she raised her hand, wanting to knock at the door. But after a second thought, she returned to the bedroom and brought back the phone. She dialed Yi Yunrui’s number in front of the study.

After a few rings, the door of the study was opened and Yi Yunrui walked outside.

Seeing his little wife in the hallway, Yi Yunrui felt a bit surprised.

But Yi Yunrui soon understood something when noticing the phone in his wife’s hand. He strode over and took her in his arms, saying lovingly, “Dummy, what made you awake?”

The smell on Yi Yunrui was pleasant and his wife felt his temperature through the silk pajamas, which made his hug pretty relieving.

“I… I’m hungry…”

“… I’ll boil something for you.” With this, Yi Yunrui noticed that his little wife was barefoot. He knitted his brows, “Why did you come out without slippers? The floor is cold and it’s not good for your health.”

And then Yi Yunrui scooped Xia Ning in his arms, entered the bedroom, and helped her put on the slippers.

“Dear, have some rest. I’ll boil something for you.”

“Wait.” Xia Ning grabbed his clothes, scratched her head, and said, “Actually… I’m not that hungry. You don’t need to rush.”

Hearing that, Yi Yunrui was a bit confused, “It’s OK. I’ll soon make it ready. Take your time.”

With that, Yi Yunrui turned around again. But Xia Ning pulled him back again. This time, she held her husband close, saying, “Dear, I’ve told you I’m not hungry now. You may do it later!”

Yi Yunrui felt itchy when his wife acted pettishly. His wife was like a cute kitten, scratching him with her claws. Yi Yunrui decided to sit down and held his wife in his arms, stroking her back.

“OK, ok, ok. I won’t do it now. I’ll do it later.”

His wife held Yi Yunrui close and took in his warmth greedily. Her voice also softened, “Dear, what are you doing at this time of the night? Why are you still up?”

Yi Yunrui’s mouth stirred, but then he corrected himself, “Well, I still need to handle something in the military region and it’s urgent. I’ll turn in after it’s done.”

Seeing that his wife instantly got nervous, Yi Yunrui scratched her nose, saying, “Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious. I’ll soon finish it. By the way, shall I boil something for you first? What do you want to eat?”

No matter how busy he was, he was thinking about his wife’s health. Hearing that, Xia Ning said on impulse, “How about letting me boil it? Then let’s enjoy it together?”

“No need. I’ll do it…”

She rested her hand on her husband’s lips, saying irrefutably, “Aren’t you in the middle of your business? Even though you are at home, you shouldn’t do anything personal when handling public affairs. Boiling some food is a piece of cake. I’m fit enough to do it.”

With this, Xia Ning stood up and held her husband’s fingers, saying, “Go back to your study. I’ll bring it over after it’s ready. Then let’s enjoy it together!”

Sensing that his little wife left him no chance to refute, Yi Yunrui could only compromise, “Fine. Boil anything you like and I love them all.”

Xia Ning’s eyes blinked. This was something she wanted to ask Yi Yunrui, but he said it first.

“How about tomato beef noodles?”

Yi Yunrui nodded, replying, “OK.”

His little wife liked to eat sweet and sour food. Tomatoes, sweet, and sour food were indispensable dishes every day.

Yi Yunrui wanted to help his little wife, but Xia Ning drove him back to the study and then closed the door for him.

Yi Yunrui sat back to the computer helplessly and took a sip of the coffee. But he found that it had already become cold. He stood up and walked outside, preparing to heat the coffee. However, he recalled that his little wife didn’t want her to go out. Thus, he took another sip of coffee and sat back to the chair.

During the three hours, Masahiro Shizuka was planning something and so did him.

If Masahiro Shizuka had kept himself in check, it would not have been necessary for him to take such measures.

It had been two hours and he wondered how things were going.

Just at that moment, Yi Yunrui’s phone beeped. When Yi Yunrui saw the SMS, his eyes lit up and his face brightened.

With the help of the chief Commander, things were running smooth!

With this, he had something to deal with Masahiro Shizuka!

He had successfully asked the headquarters to give him a hand. This time, he would take something back from Masahiro Shizuka!

The door was knocked on at the moment. Hearing that, Yi Yunrui immediately ran to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, the smell of the noodles came to his nostrils. His wife brought two bowls of glowing tomato beef noodles with enough ingredients, which aroused his appetite.

Xia Ning cleared her throat, saying, “Sorry to keep you waiting! Xia’s signature tomato beef noodles are served! If not delicious, no charge!”
