"Shoko, where are you right now? I'll co pick you up!"
"There's no need, Yuichi! I'm at the park right now, just co straight here!"
"The park? Alright, I got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Sugimoto Shoko looked at the young man dressed as a bodyguard beside her. "Is everyone in position?"
"Everything is arranged. But Miss, are you sure you want to do this? What if the master finds out?"
"I have no other choice. Soone already resides in my heart, and there is no room for anyone else..."
Saying this, the young girl looked at the young man with a face full of expectation.
However, the young man's face was full of hesitation. He wanted to say sothing, but ultimately kept his mouth shut.
Disappointed once again, though long accustod to this, Sugimoto Shoko gave a carefree smile. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. He'll be here soon. Jinno, you should leave first."
"Understood."
Feeling slightly stifled in his chest, the young man nodded and turned to leave.
Not long after, Shiroko arrived at the park. At a glance, he spotted the red-haired girl in a white dress standing under the shade of a tree.
Reading her recent inner thoughts, he raised an eyebrow slightly and walked toward her with a faint smile. "Sorry, Shoko. I kept you waiting!"
"I just got here not too long ago myself. Let's go, Yuichi!"
As she spoke, she actually took the initiative to reach out, hugging his arm with a sweet smile.
Catching the flash of unnaturalness in the girl's eyes, Shiroko revealed a look of feigned astonishnt. "Shoko, what are you doing?"
"Did you forget, Yuichi? We used to be just like this when we were kids."
"Or is it that now that you've grown up, you don't like Shoko anymore?"
As she spoke, faint tears actually shimred in her bright, expressive eyes.
Won were born actors; this statent was indeed true.
If he couldn't read her inner thoughts through the Eye of Investigation, he almost would have believed her!
Imdiately after, Shiroko also kicked his acting skills into high gear.
It was just acting, as if he didn't know how to do it either. "Of course not. I've always kept you in my heart, Shoko..."
Faced with these words that sounded almost like a confession, the girl felt disgusted in her heart, yet couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of secret joy.
After all, having such a handso guy confess to you would make any woman feel the sa way!
Joy aside, she hadn't forgotten her objective. She imdiately looked up at Shiroko with her large, captivating eyes. "Onii-chan, how about we go boating on the lake?"
"Of course!"
Nodding with a faint smile, the two walked toward the lake together.
Passing by a dense thicket, a low whimpering sound suddenly rang out.
This sound was naturally incredibly familiar to a veteran of the battlefield like Shiroko. However, for Sugimoto Shoko, who was completely inexperienced and sheltered, it entirely hit her blind spot of knowledge.
Affected by it, the girl felt her body inexplicably grow hot, and she couldn't help but walk toward the source of the sound.
As she walked, she muttered, "What is this sound? It's actually making ..."
Over a minute later, Sugimoto Shoko successfully found the source. Looking at the scene before her, her cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she hurriedly tried to leave.
But because she was too flustered, she didn't watch her step, and then...
Seeing the girl falling straight toward him, Shiroko quickly opened his arms to catch her.
However, because it was too rushed, his right hand subconsciously landed on a certain spot.
In an instant, the girl's delicate body trembled violently, the blush on her cheeks deepening even further.
Especially since the other party actually even... In a flash, waves of steam seed to rise from the top of her head.
Realizing the inappropriateness of his action, Shiroko hurriedly withdrew his hand. "Sorry, Shoko. Just now, I..."
Hearing this, the girl feigned nonchalance and shook her head. "It's fine! I should be thanking you for saving just now, Onii-chan, otherwise I definitely would have gotten hurt!"
Then, not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer, she quickly changed the subject. "Onii-chan, let's hurry up and go!"
Right at that mont, a cry resembling a swan struck by an arrow suddenly echoed from the thicket behind them.
Following that was an exchange that could only be described as R-rated.
Unable to listen any longer, the girl hastily pulled Shiroko away.
Stepping out of the thicket, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, five or six young n dressed in flashy clothes with multicolored hair walked over.
Upon seeing Sugimoto Shoko, a glint appeared in their eyes, and lecherous smiles surfaced on their faces. "Yo, little miss, you look pretty good. Want to co hang out with us brothers?"
"Don't worry, we're definitely better than the pretty boy beside you. We can definitely..."
Before he could finish speaking, a dark silhouette appeared right in front of him.
Imdiately after, the young man who had just spoken so insolently was sent flying backward for over a dozen ters, as if struck by a heavy truck moving at full speed, before making a spectacular splash into the water.
At this, the young man was dumbfounded, and his companions were equally stunned!
Weren't they just supposed to scare an ordinary rich kid? What was going on?!
When they took the money, no one ntioned they would be taking a beating!
But while they were stunned, Shiroko was not.
He instantly charged into the group like a tiger among sheep. Anyone who passed through his hands ended up with a broken arm or leg at the very least.
A mont later, looking at the thugs wailing continuously on the ground, Shiroko took out his phone, ready to call the police.
At this ti, Sugimoto Shoko, who had finally reacted, hurriedly stopped him.
After all, she was the mastermind behind all of this. If these people couldn't handle the pressure and ratted her out, wouldn't she be completely screwed?!
Looking at the girl blocking him, Shiroko revealed a sowhat puzzled expression. "Shoko, what are you doing?"
"Onii-chan, they've already been taught a lesson, and we haven't suffered any losses. Let's just leave it at that!"
"Otherwise, when the police arrive, we'll have to go make statents, and this beautiful day will be completely wasted!"
Hearing this, Shiroko remained silent, a hint of amusent slowly surfacing in his gaze.
This couldn't help but make the girl panic inwardly. 'Could he have seen through sothing?'
But Shiroko's next sentence made her breathe a sigh of relief, secretly thinking to herself that she was just scaring herself.
"You make a good point, Shoko. I'll let you off today. Get lost!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the group felt as if they had been granted a general amnesty. They hurriedly scrambled up from the ground and supported each other as they limped out of the park.
They fled as if cursing their parents for not giving them an extra pair of legs, completely ignoring their boss who was still thrashing about in the water.
A mont later, the young man who had swallowed a bellyful of water struggled ashore. Seeing Shiroko actually looking at him, his entire body trembled violently, and he imdiately scrambled on his hands and knees to chase after the others.
