408. The Deceitful Human Heart 7
Vermouth was kept behind by that gentleman for a private talk, while Jiang Jin and the other two emerged from the doorway. The metal door closed behind them, and Rum, walking in front, suddenly stopped, turning half his face to the side. His left prosthetic eye was stiff, the pupil appearing small and eerie in the cold white light. Rum chuckled, his voice short and chilling, his gaze sweeping across Jiang Jin's face like a knife.
Jiang Jin looked up and met his gaze. He wasn't afraid of that look; a smirk played on his lips. That smile was utterly defiant.
Rum's gaze shifted from Jiang Jin's face to Furuya Rei, lingering between the two for a moment before finally saying in a sinister tone, "Given what just happened, I think you two still have a lot to say, so I won't disturb you any longer."
After saying that, he turned and left. Jiang Jin squinted at Rum's departing figure, pondering how to deal with this major concern.
"Don't you want to ask me anything?" Furuya Rei suddenly spoke up from the side. Jiang Jin turned to look at him. "What should I ask?"
He chuckled, "Speaking of which, it was really dangerous just now. If you hadn't come, I probably would have already agreed to that person's request."
"Will you take action?" Furuya Rei asked.
Jiang Jin replied slyly, "I can't let them find fault with me, especially Rum."
"So, will you take action?" Furuya Rei suddenly became unusually stubborn, as if he absolutely had to get a positive or negative answer from Jiang Jin.
Jiang Jin was unsure of Furuya Rei's thoughts at that moment. If he answered yes, would Furuya Rei get angry? What if he answered no?
"Does it matter whether I answer that now? Anyway, the person is safe now." Jiang Jin shrugged slightly and turned to leave, but Furuya Rei raised her hand to stop him, her expression very serious. "It's very important to me."
Jiang Jin was a little impatient, but he still thought for a moment before answering Furuya Rei: "Yes. If you don't come, I will definitely agree to that person's request. After all, I still value my life."
Surprisingly, after hearing this, Rei Furuya looked relieved. His expression softened and relaxed: "That's good."
This puzzled Jiang Jin, who countered, "Wait, you have absolutely no intention of... protecting him?"
“That’s my business. I just want your opinion.” Jiang Jin was puzzled by Furuya Rei’s answer. At this point, his expression turned slightly ugly. He continued, “Back then, you tried to bring Jinpei in time and time again, but I disagreed. Now it’s all over. He had no choice but to come.”
Jiang Jin immediately shifted the blame to Rum: "Wasn't it that old man deliberately causing trouble? He actually managed to find out about that little thing between me and Xiao Zhenping?"
Rei Furuya glared at Jiang Jin. Just then, Vermouth appeared, her gaze sweeping over Rei Furuya as she said, "Don't forget the deal between us."
Then, she gracefully departed. Jiang Jin asked Furuya Rei curiously, "What did you trade with her?"
Rei Furuya smiled enigmatically: "It's a secret. You really want to know?"
Jiang Jin raised an eyebrow and leaned back: "Actually... I didn't think that way."
"Really? That's a pity." Furuya Rei's expression seemed to genuinely want to tell Jiang Jin, but Jiang Jin felt it was a very dangerous trap. He rolled his eyes and stepped forward to put his arm around Furuya Rei's shoulder. "Instead of this, why don't you come with me to see Kojinpei?"
Matsuda Jinpei was sent to a hospital under the Taizumi Group, which was controlled by Taizumi Yumie. The hospital was well-equipped and had strong security, making it much safer than Beika Hospital and Beika Hospital.
When Jiang Jin and Furuya Rei arrived at the hospital, Matsuda Jinpei was still unconscious after completing his examination. Although his external injuries had been treated, his mental state was very poor, and he had been injected with a lot of medication.
The hospital doctors conducted a detailed consultation with him and listed a series of tests that needed to be done. Faced with that stack of test results, the hospital doctors did not make any changes, even to Jiang Jin, who was deliberately trying to scare them, clearly indicating that Matsuda Jinpei really needed to undergo so many tests.
After being rescued from Rum's hideout, Matsuda Jinpei got into the car and, as if his tense nerves had been completely released, passed out.
He was unaware of what was happening around him, nor could he hear what the others were saying. He just felt as if he had been transported back to the scene of the bombing seven years ago.
Matsuda Jinpei stood silently in the void, like an observer, watching everything he had experienced—the bombing outside the shopping mall that killed Hagiwara, the chase through the alley after being transferred to the First Investigative Division, and then his first encounter with Amamiya Jin at the end of the alley…
After that, the figure of the silver-haired youth was always present in all the subsequent cases, thrilling actions, or absurd and strange events.
In the very last memory, he saw the other man lead his men into the dimly lit basement. But then, the young man at the head of the group was shot through the chest and exploded like fireworks before him, leaving only a cloud of blood mist.
Suddenly, the monitor next to the hospital bed sounded an alarm. Before Jiang Jin and Furuya Rei even reached the door of Matsuda Jinpei's ward, they saw a group of doctors and nurses rushing into the room.
The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Jin asked, "What's going on?"
Furuya Rei frowned and walked quickly toward the ward. However, the two of them could only stand at the door and watch the doctors and nurses inside nervously trying to save Matsuda Jinpei on the hospital bed.
After about ten minutes, the tense atmosphere inside gradually eased. The data from all the instruments returned to normal, and the doctors and nurses left the ward.
Jiang Jin grabbed a doctor with such force that he almost knocked the doctor over: "How is the person inside?"
Rei Furuya patted Jiang Jin's arm, signaling him to let go. Jiang Jin released his grip, and the doctor nodded gratefully to Rei Furuya before replying, "The patient experienced a significant emotional fluctuation, leading to an acute reaction in his heart rate and blood pressure. We've stabilized his condition; he's out of danger. However, the patient had previously received too many medications, which require slow metabolism, making him easily susceptible to emotional stress. Fortunately, the patient is in excellent physical condition, and his bodily functions haven't been damaged. He just needs to rest."
"When will that person wake up?" Furuya Rei asked.
"It depends on the patient's mental state. It might be soon, or it might take a day or two," the doctor replied. Seeing Jiang Jin frown again, he added, "You two are the patient's friends, right? His physical functions are fine now, but he hasn't recovered mentally. Perhaps you can talk to him. Although he is still unconscious, he might be able to hear you."
After the doctor left, Jiang Jin glanced at the ward. Furuya Rei opened the ward door, turned around, and saw that Jiang Jin was standing still: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Jin took a step back: "I won't go in. I'm not good at saying nice things. You stay with him. I just remembered I have some things to take care of."
Furuya Rei looked at Jiang Jin with his gray-purple eyes, seemingly knowing why Jiang Jin had suddenly hesitated. He simply nodded and said, "He's awake. I'll tell you."
