"B-Big brother, w-where are you going..."
Xu Fan got up and left, and Yoshida Shun couldn't help but panic in his heart.
All these troubles arose purely from his own stupidity, so Yoshida Shun hurriedly followed Xu Fan, only worried that Xu Fan would be angry with him.
He knew that his own little life depended entirely on one word from Xu Fan!
It wasn't just that; having watched the surveillance, Yoshida Shun was one step away from wetting his pants in fear.
With Xu Fan still around, he at least had so sense of security. If Xu Fan were to leave, Yoshida Shun doubted his remaining henchn could protect him!
"B-Boss, it's so late, why don't you rest here. It's not much, but please make yourself at ho."
The lifeline in front of Yoshida Shun was not sothing he wanted to slip away from his grasp.
Who knew whether that guy would co back to kill them again!
It seed his suggestion was effective, as Xu Fan stopped in his tracks.
Seeing this, Yoshida Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
This was good; he probably wouldn't have any trouble now.
"Yoshida Shun, do you really want to kill you with my own hands before you're satisfied?"
"Cough, cough..."
Halfway through his sigh of relief, Yoshida Shun nearly choked to death upon hearing Xu Fan's words!
"N-No, I-I was wrong, please don't be angry..."
Realizing Xu Fan was currently angry, Yoshida Shun laughed awkwardly, waved his hand in appeasent, and backed away.
This was definitely not the mont to stir Xu Fan's anger.
"Well, if you have any instructions, please let know."
Despite the extre reluctance in his heart, Yoshida Shun forced a smile as he saw Xu Fan off.
...
After leaving Yoshida Shun's villa, Xu Fan blocked a car and returned to Asao Mai's place.
It was already early morning, and Xu Fan carefully entered the house, worried about waking the little girls living there.
At this mont, he had no sleepiness left in him. Once in Asao Mai's room, he started searching.
He hoped to find any clue relating to her identity there.
Only with such clues could he continue his investigation.
He rummaged through everything, not leaving any corner unchecked!
However, after searching several tis, he found nothing useful...
No clues at all; it seed as though she had deliberately discarded anything that might reveal her identity, worried about being discovered.
"..."
At a complete dead end, Xu Fan sat on the floor and smiled wryly.
He truly didn't know what to do next in the short term...
After a sleepless night, morning arrived quickly.
Sitting quietly in the living room, Xu Fan only ca to his senses when the little girls, yawning, ca out of their rooms.
"Onii-chan, ohayou~ (Good morning)"
The little girls greeted Xu Fan in their childlike voices and ca over.
"Ohayou."
His bad mood from the night seed to improve considerably with their presence. Seeing them approach, Xu Fan smiled and patted their little heads in greeting.
"Onii-chan, is Onee-san still sleeping in?"
"Onii-chan! Onee-san must be lazing in bed, we need to spank her bottom!"
Obviously, the absence of Asao Mai aroused the little girls' curiosity, and they asked Xu Fan directly.
Hearing them ntion Asao Mai, the smile on Xu Fan's face stiffened.
He truly didn't know how to tell these little girls the truth...
They were all orphans, taken in by Asao Mai in their lonely predicant.
To them, Asao Mai was their everything.
If they learned that sothing had happened to Asao Mai, Xu Fan couldn't imagine how hurt they would be inside.
"Onee-san has so matters to handle, she won't be back for a few days."
With a smile, Xu Fan told a lie.
Clearly, the little girls didn't take too kindly to this news.
Sitting beside Xu Fan, they pouted, feeling wronged.
They were different from children who grew up normally; they had experienced abandonnt and hardship much earlier, more than other children. Their maturity much surpassed other children, and they thought more deeply.
Perhaps they were now wondering if Onee-san had also abandoned them...
Xu Fan couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Isn't Onii-chan as good as Onee-san? I'm taking care of you in place of Onee-san, and you're not happy..."
Pretending to be upset, Xu Fan sighed.
The little girls beca anxious seeing this.
"It's not like that, Onii-chan."
"Onii-chan, we're just worried, won't Onee-san be in trouble?"
Though young, the children could tell who was kind to them. Xu Fan, Asao Mai, both were heroes in their lives who gave them rebirth.
They didn't want Xu Fan to be upset.
Anxiously explaining, one said, "Even if Onee-san doesn't say it, we actually know."
"She works extra hard to support us, Onii-chan. She's surely gone out to earn money, hasn't she?"
"We can eat a little less, so Onee-san doesn't have to work as hard."
"Onii-chan, we promise to be good, but please promise us to let Onee-san co back soon, okay?"
Listening to what the little girls said, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile.
If Asao Mai could hear their heartfelt words, she would surely find all her efforts worthwhile, wouldn't she?
"Since you're all so well-behaved, Onii-chan promises to get Onee-san back as soon as possible."
Whether to ease his own guilt, or to keep the faith of these kids intact, he had to retrieve Asao Mai from the guy's hands this ti!
Xu Fan smiled at the children and solemnly promised!
"Alright, your stomachs are growling. Onii-chan will make sothing delicious for you."
After joking around with the little girls for a while, Xu Fan got up and went to the kitchen to prepare a hearty breakfast for them.
He didn't want Asao Mai to bla him for not taking good care of the little girls when she returned.
After feeding them breakfast, Xu Fan took out his phone and dialed Yoshida Shun's number.
Ti was of the essence. With Asao Mai taken by that guy, delaying even a minute could an trouble for her.
A night of thinking, Xu Fan had a plan.
He didn't want to delay a mont longer; he just wanted to act imdiately!
