"Hey, kid, why are you all alone out here? Where are your parents?"

Hearing the teasing voice above her, Shiho Miyano kept walking forward weakly.

"My parents are dead."

"Really? What a coincidence." Guchuan Ning held an umbrella over her.

"Are your parents dead too?"

Shiho Miyano looked up at Guchuan Ning with a hint of shared sympathy in her eyes.

"No, the coincidence is that I was getting rained on with you." Guchuan Ning smiled.

"Heh."

Shiho Miyano felt like she had ten thousand reasons to cry, but she did not want to cry in front of a strange man.

From just those few words, Shiho Miyano could tell that he was a man with a terrible personality. If she cried, he would definitely mock her mercilessly.

"Kid, do you want to come to my house?" Guchuan Ning grabbed Shiho Miyano's hand to keep her from falling.

"Take me to Shinichi Kudo's house," Shiho Miyano said weakly.

Shiho Miyano felt like she was about to pass out.

"What? You agreed to come to my house?"

Guchuan Ning crouched down and smiled at Shiho Miyano.

"I said, take me to Shinichi Kudo's house." Shiho Miyano used the last of her strength to shout the words.

"How did you know my name was Guchuan Ning? I'll take you to Guchuan Ning's house right away."

Guchuan scooped Shiho Miyano up in a princess carry and held the umbrella over her head, blocking him from seeing her gritting her teeth in fury.

Guchuan: Yay! I ran into a little girl on the road, and she cried and fussed about wanting to come home with me.

Shiho Miyano: Oh no, I just escaped one danger zone only to enter another. I ran into a pervert who likes little girls!

A few minutes later, Guchuan carried Shiho Miyano home, placed her on the sofa, and began looking for the bathroom.

Shiho Miyano had not passed out yet. Completely drained of strength, she watched Guchuan Ning wander aimlessly around the house.

What is this guy doing? And judging by how unfamiliar he looks, is this really his house?

Shiho Miyano closed her eyes. She no longer had the energy to mock Guchuan Ning and drifted off drowsily. By then, Guchuan Ning had finally found the bathroom.

After giving Shiho Miyano a quick bath, Guchuan Ning wrapped her entire body in a bath towel.

"What was I supposed to do about a high fever again?" Guchuan Ning touched Shiho Miyano's forehead.

Before he transmigrated, he had only been nineteen. He had no experience caring for someone with a severe fever. Whenever he had gotten sick before, he had simply taken medicine, slept, and endured it.

After fumbling around helplessly for a while, Guchuan Ning called the hospital.

"Severe fever. Doctor. Female doctor."

With the female doctor's help, Guchuan got Shiho Miyano dressed, gave her medicine, and put her on an IV drip.

As Shiho Miyano's temperature gradually dropped, Guchuan Ning let out a sigh of relief.

"Good thing I paid to hire a doctor. This is all thanks to me."

Shiho Miyano: "..."

Doctor: "..."

"Boss, we couldn't find Sherry." Vodka looked at Gin tremblingly.

"What about the car?"

"It's already been brought back."

Gin walked over to his beloved Porsche 356A and took a hard drag from his cigarette.

"Since we can't find Sherry, let's teach that clueless bastard a lesson."

"Boss, that guy is Guchuan Ning, Guchuan Yuan's son. Our organization works with Guchuan Yuan," Vodka said.

Guchuan Yuan had considerable influence in Japan and had always been an organization partner. If they killed his only son, he would definitely go mad.

"Creak." Gin clenched his fists.

"Since he's one of our own, invite him to the training ground so we can get acquainted."

"What are you doing? I'm a minor! Kidnapping a minor is a serious crime!"

Guchuan shouted and gestured at the Men in Black pinning him down, trying to use the law to make them see the error of their ways.

"Cut the crap. Our boss wants to see you." Vodka kicked Guchuan in the ass.

Damn brat. He had nearly made the boss think Vodka was an undercover agent, and nearly cost him his position as the boss's driver.

"Do you know what my surname is?"

"Who cares what your surname is?"

Vodka was about to kick him again, but a hand precisely caught his foot. Then, with an over-the-shoulder throw, Vodka's head slammed into the ground.

The nearby lackeys immediately rushed to help, but Guchuan knocked them all down with ease.

Guchuan rubbed his wrist, his face full of disdain.

Were any random pieces of trash bold enough to kidnap him now?

If he did not have some real skills, then no matter how rich or well-connected he was, he would have been taken out long ago.

Heh. He had trained at the Hawaii Martial Arts Department.

Clap clap.

"Hm?"

Hearing the applause, Guchuan turned around and saw a blond man sneering at him.

"Not bad. You've got some skills." Gin flicked away some ash.

"A crow?" Guchuan asked.

"That's right. Looks like your father told you about us." Gin pressed a Beretta to Guchuan's head.

"Interested in joining our organization?"

"No interest. I'm a law-abiding good citizen. I have no interest in getting mixed up with criminals like you." Guchuan refused outright.

"Heh heh."

Guchuan's words made Gin want to laugh.

You stole a criminal's car, and you still had the nerve to call yourself a law-abiding good citizen?

"I can already smell crime on you. You were born to be one of us," Gin said.

Hearing Gin's words, Guchuan sniffed himself. Other than the scent of men's cologne, there was no other smell at all.

"There's something wrong with your nose. Let me recommend a doctor."

Guchuan handed Gin a business card.

And the doctor listed on it really was a highly skilled doctor in America, except he was a man and gay.

"Heh. No one has ever been able to refuse the organization's invitation."

"That's only because you haven't met me before." Guchuan casually patted Gin on the shoulder, acting as though they were old friends. The sight made Vodka beside them grit his teeth.

Damn brat. How dare he act so frivolously toward the boss?

"The only outcome for refusing the organization is death. But for your father's sake, I can leave you half your life." Gin said it casually, but Guchuan did not doubt that he meant it.

Gin was a madman. He really was capable of it.

"So I don't have the right to refuse?"

Guchuan took Gin's cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and pulled out a lighter to light it.

Guchuan had not planned to refuse in the first place. Joining a criminal organization to cause trouble was just too cool.

Besides, Guchuan was Gin's loyal fan!

"Your hands are fast." Gin pinched out the cigarette in Guchuan's mouth, then looked at him in surprise.

To take something from Gin's pocket without making a sound, Guchuan really did have some skills.

"Just a hobby."

Guchuan tried to light the cigarette again, and Gin pinched it out again.

"What are you doing?" Guchuan looked at Gin unhappily.

"Minors are forbidden from smoking."

Guchuan froze. You people murdered, set fires, and committed every evil imaginable, yet you still knew minors were forbidden from smoking?

As expected of a manga aimed more at children. Even the villains had this kind of awareness.
