Kenji Hagiwara knew that the other party asked him to talk tomorrow, which proved that there was room for negotiation on this matter.

But he couldn't feel at ease at all. Who knew if the other party was trustworthy? Would he leak Xiao Jiangu's secret during the night of waiting, or even use it as a handle to threaten Xiao Jiangu?

Even if there is no leak tonight, the answer I give him tomorrow will be kept secret, but——

Once a secret is known by more than two people, it is no longer a secret.

He couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't continue to keep the secret while being drunk, being coerced, tortured, etc.

Kenji Hagiwara's clear purple eyes suddenly became a bit more sticky and dark, and his light aura became dangerous and extremely aggressive.

He wants to kill Takeshita!

"Hagi!"

Matsuda Jinpei coaxed the child and decisively called out to the little Junran who had suddenly turned into a pure black fox, looking at him with sharp eyes.

"The confrontation failed?"

Jinpei Matsuda patted the baby's back gently and asked casually.

Hagiwara Kenji raised his head, a serious expression on his pale face. He strode forward, carrying Matsuda Jinpei and the tightly wrapped baby out. His voice dropped to a low, suppressed whisper, "Yes, I failed."

When Jinpei Matsuda saw that the child had stopped crying, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them exchanged glances, tacitly pretending to be Officer Takeshita, and by the time they got in a taxi and rushed home, it was already completely dark.

Putting the child in the crib, the two grown men sat in the Japanese-style room, both with a very serious aura.

Matsuda Jinpei's gaze fell on the pitiful Yukunran, whose eyes were red and whose head was drooping. He scratched his hair helplessly and broke the silence. "Is it because of Xiaoguang?"

The original intention of Chishima Miko to walk into the coffee shop should be Hagi. After all, he came out temporarily with the baby in his arms to look for someone, and there was no way that person would pay attention to them.

But he didn't miss the look the woman gave him.

Or rather, it was the look in Xiaoguang's eyes in his arms.

It's incredible, mixed with cold scrutiny, yet with a subtle touch of friendliness.

He knows Xiaoguang.

If Hagi hadn't mentioned it himself, then he must have known about Xiaoguang's existence through some means—for example, by determining Hagi's location.

Or to be more specific, positioning and eavesdropping.

After all, Hagi had kept Xiaoguang's secret a secret from him and it was impossible for him to mention it to anyone else.

Jinpei Matsuda recalled the undercurrent between Hagi and Chishima, and what Hagi took out at that time should have been a miniature eavesdropping device.

And the time when Xiaoguang's information was leaked——

Although he and Hagi had been separated for a long time recently, his irrational intuition directly locked onto the time period when Hagi was in the bathroom.

"Who did you contact in the bathroom of the cafe?"

Matsuda Jinpei asked two straightforward questions, and Hagiwara Kenji suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and nervousness: "...Jinpei-chan?"

He was very touched that Xiao Zhenping knew nothing in the coffee shop, but still helped him cooperate with his hints, but was this reaction too fast?

Jinpei Matsuda felt like laughing. He really should let Hagi look in the mirror. His hair was all blown up.

"It's the blond teacher, right?"

He was the only one who could mention Xiaoguang to Hagi.

Hagiwara Kenji's face fell, his mouth was as frivolous as ever, but there was no smile in his eyes, which were as dark as the tide: "I knew that Xiao Zhenping was very smart and had a sharp intuition."

"Zhenping and I worked very well together in the cafe. We really are the best in tacit understanding." Hagiwara Kenji curled the corners of his mouth and used a cheerful tone to hide his absent-mindedness.

"Hagi!"

Matsuda Jinpei interrupted his pretense, lowered his voice as if to show weakness, and said seriously: "You are afraid."

Are you afraid of bringing danger to Jianggu?

Or are there more serious consequences?

Matsuda approached his friend, patted his arm gently, and said in an unskilled coaxing tone, "Don't be afraid, hagi. If there's any problem, we can solve it together."

Hagiwara Kenji's hand, which was pinching the corner of his clothes, trembled, and then he hid it behind his back as if nothing had happened.

He knew he couldn't hide it from the intuitive Xiao Zhenping, so he no longer concealed his expression. His handsome face was instantly replaced by brokenness and worry. He murmured, "He heard some secrets. If he leaks them, the consequences will be serious."

"This isn't something that can be resolved simply by agreeing to keep it secret. There are so many ways for someone to lose their ability to keep a secret."

"Jin Ping-chan, I am indeed scared."

He said in a low voice without hiding anything: "For a moment, I had the intention to kill him!"

Xiao Xiangya worked so hard and suffered so much...

How could I let someone destroy it!

It was my carelessness that left the hidden danger, and I should be the one to solve it.

Hearing Kotaniran's statement about wanting to commit a crime, Matsuda Jinpei's attention was suddenly distracted. He repeated one word in shock: "Him?"

"Hagi, did you just say 'he' instead of 'she'?"

Hagiwara Kenji's attention was also diverted by him, and he naturally followed his words and explained: "Yes, Chishima Miko is a man, and women's clothing is his disguise."

Matsuda was shocked: "I had a feeling that something was wrong with him, but I didn't expect him to be a man."

He seemed to have opened the door to a new world. He excitedly raised his hands and gestured in the air, saying incoherently: "How did he do that? He didn't wear a scarf, but I didn't see his Adam's apple either. Not only did he speak with a female voice, but his appearance was also the perfect Yamato Nadeshiko type. There was absolutely no flaw!"

Hagiwara Kenji was so touched by Yukunran's appearance that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. The gloom between his brows disappeared, and he approached Xiao Zhenping with sparkling eyes, hiding his obvious excitement. "It's a disguise, huh? I can do it too. Xiao Zhenping, do you want to see it?"

Jinpei Matsuda was extremely curious and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

Kenji Hagiwara ran back to the room excitedly, took out the hidden disguise props, and began to disguise himself with rapid hands.

Soon, Jinpei Matsuda saw a strange middle-aged man walking out of Hagi's room.

His body tensed for a moment, then quickly relaxed. He strode over to the middle-aged man, looked him over, and said with surprise and excitement, "Hagi, you really look like a different person. It's amazing, like a magic trick."

Hagiwara Kenji was lost in his friend's praise. He felt so happy that he said softly, "I have something even better!"

Then he went back into the room.

The night passed quickly.

Matsuda Jinpei saw his friend disguise himself as a variety of people, including a middle-aged man, a foreign delinquent, an old lady, and an old man...

Gentleman, Yakuza, Killer, Social Animal...

And, the lady with twin ponytails.

Who made Hagi, after being praised so much, brazenly say that he would disguise him as a yakuza lady with twin ponytails?

Then Hagi can only do it himself.

Jinpei Matsuda: Smile.
