Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"My identity is——your great aunt!"

As soon as Lin Xi said this, the room, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly became quiet for a moment.

"Oh! Madam Shen..." After a moment, Suzuki's somewhat gloomy voice broke the silence in the room. He slowly stood up, the last trace of fake smile on his face completely disappeared. His pair of sinister eyes stared at Lin Xi, and he said in a low voice, "You are really brave."

At this point, he narrowed his eyes, and a stiff arc appeared at the corner of his lips. "I just don't know if your bones... are as hard as your mouth."

He nodded slightly and ordered Huizi, who also had a gloomy expression, "Huizi, what are you waiting for? Madam Shen's injuries seem serious. She's already talking nonsense. Why don't you take her downstairs for a 'checkup'!"

"Yes! Lord Suzuki!" Huizi bowed deeply to him, then turned to Lin Xi and the other person, strode forward, and reached out to pull Lin Xi who was hiding behind Shen Jingyuan.

Shen Jingyuan's eyes fixed, he picked up the teacup on the table, turned his wrist, and the teacup filled with tea flew out and hit the back of Huizi's hand.

Huizi was obviously well-trained and had very quick reactions.

Seeing the teacup coming towards her with a strong wind, her face suddenly changed, and she retracted her wrist sharply, narrowly avoiding the vital part, but the splashing tea still wet half of her sleeve.

The blue and white porcelain cup hit the thick carpet with a dull thud.

Huizi was shocked and angry. Just as he was about to scold, a black shadow flashed by in his peripheral vision.

She didn't even have time to see the other person's movements clearly. The next second, she flew out uncontrollably, hit the wall behind her heavily, and slid softly to the ground.

"Well!"

The moment she fell to the ground, she let out an uncontrollable groan, and then she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

A strong fishy-sweet taste surged in her throat, and Huizi's face instantly turned pale as paper. She curled up, covered her chest tightly, and began to cough violently uncontrollably.

"idiot!"

Suzuki's shout and Keiko's cough exploded in the room at the same time.

Shen Jingyuan expressionlessly retracted his legs, stood still, and protected the pale-faced Lin Xi behind him. He glared coldly at Suzuki, whose face was filled with shock and anger, and said in a stern tone, "I've already said that you don't need to worry about my wife's affairs."

"You...!" Suzuki didn't expect that this man would dare to attack and hurt others in such a heavily surrounded situation. He was so angry that his chest heaved and he had difficulty breathing.

After the shock, he was filled with rage. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he smiled in anger, saying, "Good! Very good! Mr. Shen, since you won't accept my toast, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hands and roared fiercely, "Catch them!"

"Yes!"

The black-clad warriors who had been ready for action responded in unison, raised their sharp swords, and pressed forward towards the two people in the center like a tide.

Feeling Lin Xi's hand trembling as she clutched his arm, Shen Jingyuan tilted his head slightly and quickly warned in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Follow me closely, don't be afraid."

Then he turned his head and focused all his attention on the warriors who were slowly approaching from all sides.

Seeing that Shen Jingyuan and Lin Xi were about to be swallowed up by the dark mass of warriors, Suzuki's eyes flashed with a hint of contempt and pride. He raised his foot and stepped forward, but added hypocritically: "Don't hurt them..."

At this critical moment when a fierce battle is about to break out——

"Tuk-tuk-tuk! Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

A rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded, passing through the door panel and breaking the almost stagnant air in the room.

Then, a somewhat panicked voice came through the door, with obvious urgency.

"Master Suzuki, something bad has happened! Please open the door!"

Hearing the rapid knocks and shouts, the warriors who were pressing forward suddenly paused, subconsciously stopped, and turned their eyes to Suzuki, whose expression suddenly changed.

Suzuki frowned and was about to scold the person outside the door, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his sharp eyes shot towards Shen Jingyuan who was surrounded in the center.

Sure enough, he keenly noticed that the moment Shen Jingyuan heard the noise outside the door, his tense body relaxed almost imperceptibly for a moment. Although it was extremely brief, it was enough to set off alarm bells in Suzuki's heart.

This is simply a trap!

No wonder he dared to take action in front of so many elite warriors. This cunning Chinese man was simply stalling for time and waiting for rescue from outside!

"The Chinese are really cunning!" Suzuki understood instantly, glared at Shen Jingyuan with gritted teeth, his face so gloomy that water almost dripped out.

Shen Jingyuan met his glare without flinching, his calm tone tinged with a hint of irony, "It's just a matter of reciprocity."

When Suzuki heard this, his eyes suddenly became even more sinister.

"Lord Suzuki?! The situation is urgent. The foreigners... the police from the Municipal Council are here! Please open the door quickly!" Perhaps because there was no movement inside for a long time, the urging voice outside the door sounded again.

Suzuki glared at Shen Jingyuan viciously, suppressed the anger surging in his heart, waved his hand, signaling the warriors to suspend their actions, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to the outside of the door: "Come in!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a short Japanese man dressed in waiter's clothes rushed in crawling.

Seeing the room full of sword-wielding warriors and the tense atmosphere, he turned pale with fright, lowered his head hurriedly, took small steps and quickly moved in front of Suzuki, leaned close to his ear, and quickly reported the situation.

Lin Xi nervously poked her head out from behind Shen Jingyuan's shoulder and secretly looked at Suzuki not far away.

In just a few moments, his face changed like an overturned palette. First he was stunned, then turned to rage, and finally solidified into resentment and resentment.

As if he felt Lin Xi's gaze, he suddenly turned his head, and his bloodshot and cruel eyes met Lin Xi's frightened gaze.

Lin Xi was frightened by the undisguised malice in his eyes and trembled all over. She shrank her neck and hid behind Shen Jingyuan again.

The entire room fell into an eerie silence. Only the suppressed breathing of dozens of people could be heard. The air was so heavy that it seemed to be solidifying.

After a moment, Suzuki seemed to have finally made a decision.

He grabbed the short waiter by the collar, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a few quick instructions.

The waiter's face changed, revealing a bit of panic and hesitation. He stammered as if he wanted to say something, but under Suzuki's murderous gaze, he didn't dare to say it in the end. He just bowed deeply and staggered out of the room.

Only after the waiter's footsteps disappeared outside the door did Suzuki slowly turn his gaze back to Shen Jingyuan, his tone full of unwilling frustration.

"Mr. Shen is really resourceful. He even managed to get the Municipal Council to intervene. That's really not easy..."

Shen Jingyuan met his scrutinizing gaze, seemingly oblivious to the probing tone in his words. He replied calmly, "It's just a small favor in the business world, just a coincidence."

"To be able to manage a business to such an extent that even the Municipal Council is so nervous, I think the 'boss' behind Mr. Shen must be a man with connections and influence." Suzuki's cold and moist eyes roamed over Shen Jingyuan's face like a poisonous snake, trying to find a flaw.

Shen Jingyuan didn't respond to his words, but just held Lin Xi's hand tightly. Feeling the coldness in her palm, he couldn't help but straighten his back and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"Since our friends from the Municipal Council have arrived, I'm sure Mr. Suzuki doesn't want to make things worse. Now, can you please let my wife and I leave?"

"Of course—" Suzuki's eyes flashed with strong reluctance and struggle, but the next second, it was replaced by an almost crazy paranoia and fanaticism, "No!"

"Since Mr. Shen already knows my identity, but is unwilling to cooperate with our great empire, then..." Suzuki slowly stepped forward, approaching Shen Jingyuan and the other man, his eyes fierce, "Don't blame me for being cruel."

"Kill them!"

The moment he finished speaking, Suzuki snatched the knife from the samurai next to him and slashed at Shen Jingyuan.
