Chapter 174: A Tracker Was Placed on Him
"That's good."
Then Su Xingbo went to the bathroom to get a towel and a basin of water.
After we got back, I washed her body, and she obediently and sensibly cleaned herself up.
After more than ten minutes, the cleaning was finally finished.
Su Xingbo helped her sit in her chair. Of course, the chair had been cleaned, otherwise it would have been impossible to sit on it.
"I'm going out now. You can resign or not, I'll support you from now on."
Fujino Riko nodded gently and said softly, "I will do whatever Master says."
Su Xingbo then went out, and as soon as he left, Fujino Riko's face changed completely, becoming extremely cold.
Just moments ago she seemed so weak that she could barely get up, but now she stands up quickly and easily, showing no signs of having trouble getting up.
She turned on the monitor and watched Su Xingbo chatting and laughing with the three women, his face expressionless.
Fujino Riko silently clenched her fists, a hint of relief in her eyes. In truth, she had ulterior motives for approaching Su Xingbai; her previous vulnerability was merely a facade.
She had already killed the real manager; she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
As for her body, those were all external things; she had long since let go of that. As long as she could get close to Su Xingbai, that would be a success.
Before long, Su Xingbo's hands were full of shopping bags, all filled with clothes chosen by Sonoko and Ran. Ayako didn't choose a single item; she already had enough clothes in the villa on the mountaintop. She couldn't wear more than a dozen outfits a day, so enough was sufficient.
The group left the clothing store.
Then they saw Vermouth and Tomoko Suzuki standing calmly at the door.
They all wore human skin masks this time. They wear them whenever they go out now, otherwise it will cause a commotion, which is not good for their trip.
"You've wasted so much time in one store. If you visit a few more stores later, it'll be dark by then," Tomoko Suzuki said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
Yuanzi shrugged and said, "It's alright, we'll come out again next time."
The group went together to find a sushi restaurant.
After sitting down.
Su Xingbo complained, "Why come to a sushi restaurant when there are so many other options? It doesn't fill me up at all, and I don't eat sashimi."
Tomoko Suzuki glanced at him calmly. "Nobody forced you to eat sashimi. Coming to the sushi restaurant was decided by a vote of all the staff. Do you have a problem with that?"
As soon as he said this, all the women stared at him, and he could only nod and bow to indicate that he had no objection.
You're all in cahoots. You passed the vote unanimously by raising your hands, completely ignoring him. Any opinions he wanted to express were also rejected by them.
He slumped onto the table, his hands propped up on his shoulders, looking dejected. Xiao Lan sat beside him, holding his hand and comforting him.
"When we get back later, I'll cook your favorite fish for you, okay?"
Xiao Lan is still the best; she moved him to tears.
Sonoko asked curiously, "When did he start liking fish? Didn't he love braised pork ribs and braised pork belly? And if I remember correctly, Hoshiba hates fish the most because he hates fish bones, right, Hoshiba?"
Seeing the questioning looks from Xiaolan and Yuanzi, Su Xingbo nodded and then quickly explained.
"I used to like eating meat dishes, but now I'm getting used to eating fish, since fish is very nutritious."
He felt guilty saying this, but he had no choice but to say it to both Ran and Sonoko.
Sonoko nodded upon hearing this and didn't ask any further questions. Ran didn't say anything either, but just lowered her head, planning to go back and buy pork ribs and fish, and cook both to see which one he ate more of.
The sushi arrived quickly, and as the women devoured small sushi pieces, he could only stir his coffee and watch them eat.
He's a man of his word; he's not going to eat it.
Just then, Riko Fujino quietly appeared outside the sushi restaurant.
She observed everything happening inside the store through the window, her eyes cold and resolute. She knew that she had to wait for the right opportunity to implement the next step of her plan.
She disguised herself and went into the store. When she sat down to eat, she would occasionally look up at Su Xingbai and then lower her head to eat again, so as not to attract his attention.
After all, Su Xingbai and his group were under too much scrutiny, which was unavoidable. In addition, Fujino Riko had not made him feel threatened, so he did not notice that someone was spying on them with ill intentions.
As everyone finished eating and prepared to leave the sushi restaurant, Fujino Riko also got up to leave. Then, she deliberately bumped into Su Xingbo, causing her bag to fall from her hand and spill its contents all over the floor.
"I'm sorry," she apologized softly.
When Su Xingbo kindly helped pick up the things, he found a photo that looked exactly like him. He was immediately startled and became wary, instantly becoming alert.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Fujino Riko stuck a miniature tracker to the hem of his clothes.
This clumsy move was seen through by Vermouth and Su Xingbo. They were tired of using such tricks and noticed it immediately.
However, he didn't react on the spot. He wanted to see what this woman was up to. Seeing this, Vermouth didn't say anything either, but her hands remained in the pockets of her leather pants.
Fujino Riko left quickly, and Su Xingbai and the others also left.
On the road.
Vermouth finally couldn't help but ask, "What do you plan to do?"
"What do you mean, what should we do? Where do we go next?" Sonoko asked curiously.
Su Xingbo calmly said, "Since she planted a tracker on me, her purpose must be to find out my address. I'll just go to an empty villa and wait for her to come."
"Yes," Vermouth nodded. "Do you need any help?"
"No need. I haven't done this in a long time, and my body feels stiff." Su Xingbo said as he moved his joints, which cracked and popped all over.
Sonoko was even more puzzled now. What were these two saying in code? She couldn't understand a word of it.
Ayako pointed thoughtfully in the direction Fujino Riko had just left and said, "Did that woman put a tracking device on you?"
Su Xingbai nodded slightly.
"Are you planning to deal with that woman alone? What if she's not alone? What if she has accomplices behind her?" Ayako asked three questions in a row.
"No problem," Su Xingbai replied calmly.
