Chapter 571 Hanabi and Speed

Chapter 571  Hanabi and Speed

Day Sixty-Four…

~~*****~~

Stephen had been worrying about Jane. Cherry told him that she had gone missing. Why would she suddenly disappear? Did she recall something? Did bad memories return? What if she tried to commit suicide again?

Stephen started to become paranoid. He kept on driving, searching every corner of the city just to find Jane.

"Where are you, Jane?" Stephen mumbled.

He was distracted that he failed to notice the woman crossing the streets. Fortunately, Stephen still managed to step on the brake. However, his car lightly hit the woman.

Thud!

Stephen hastily got out of his car to check on her. The lady fell to the ground after being hit by his car. He ran into her and kneeled at her side. "Miss, are you okay?"

He was surprised because the woman didn't even react to that impact. She just lay on the ground, expressionlessly. She gazed at him lifting her eyebrow. Without saying a word, the woman stood up as if nothing happened. She brushed the dirt off her clothes.

"Be careful when driving," she coldly said before turning around to leave.

But Stephen wouldn't allow her to leave just yet. He needed to take responsibility for this accident. With large strides, Stephen chased after her and when he reached her, he instantly grabbed her elbow.

"Miss, you can't leave. We should go to the hospital and have you examined," Stephen suggested in his gentle voice.

"No. I'm fine. I'm in a hurry. So let go," the lady replied to him nonchalantly. She was acting indifferently toward him. "Don't worry. I won't sue you," she added, snatching her hand away from him.

But the doctor was very persistent, especially when it came to his patients. Stephen held her hand again, gently pulling her toward his car. "I'll bring you to the hospital."

The woman's expression turned sour. She was annoyed because of this stubborn man. She said she was in a hurry and that she was okay. But this guy insisted on bringing her to the hospital.

"I'm warning you. I said LET GO." she sternly said with a threatening voice.

But Stephen wasn't afraid of her. "You have to come, otherwise I'll sue you. You scratched my car," he said with a straight face. He was just kidding.

Lady: "..."

'Is he serious?! What a shameless guy. I was the one who got hit.' She eyed him with disbelief. She had the urge to beat this guy. However, she couldn't punch his gorgeous face. 'Damn! I should behave. Mr. Kazuki reminded me not to create some trouble here.' she thought to herself.

Thinking about Kazuki's reminders, she just obediently followed Stephen.

"By the way, what's your name?" Stephen simply asked her. He could sense that the woman he was holding was already annoyed with him. He could see in her expression.

"I'm Hanabi," she coldly responded.

Stephen just smiled faintly and said, "You have a nice name. By the way, I'm Stephen."

Hanabi didn't respond anymore. When they reached his car, Stephen opened the car door for her, letting her settle down in the front passenger seat. She stepped inside the car with no resistance anymore. She just silently observed Stephen.

'He looks harmless,' she thought to herself. She just picked up her phone and messaged Kazuki.

[ Sir, I've arrived. But I need to go to the hospital. Some punk hit me with his car and not allowing me to leave. But I'm not hurt. ] Hanabi informed Kazuki of her whereabouts.

Her flight got delayed and she left her luggage at her hotel. She decided to stroll around the city first before meeting Kazuki. Who would have thought that someone would hit her while crossing the streets?

Beep!

Mr. Kazuki responded quickly. [ We have an emergency! You need to find our master's daughter. Lady Jane had gone missing! ]

Hanabi's eyes widened in shock after reading Kazuki's last message. "STOP THE CAR!!!" She screamed, making Stephen hit the brake.

Screech!

"What's wrong?" Stephen asked her in confusion. Hanabi's mood changed quickly.

"I need to get out!" Hanabi said before opening the car door and jumping off in a swift move. Stephen was not able to react as he watched her running away from him.

He could only shake his head and murmured, "What a weird woman? Is she immune to pain?"

Stephen started the car. Since his patient ran away, he could only continue his search, hoping that he could find Jane as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Kazuki contacted his son, Tatsumi. Finally, he was able to reach his son as Tatsumi's phone rang. He couldn't contact him for the past few days because he was out of reach.

"Dad! I'm busy. Why do you keep calling me?" Tatsumi scowled at his father right away. He was currently fighting several members of the King Stallion Mafia. They were hunting and chasing after him. The group was headed by a woman whose alias was Speed.

"Busy?! Where the hell are you?! You should go back here. Your future wife went missing!" Kazuki wanted to scold his ungrateful son.

"Huh? My wife? What happened to my Lady?" Tatsumi asked him exasperatedly. He was also shocked to hear the news from his father.

"Yes. Your future wife disappeared and we are searching for her. If you don't want to lose her, come back here and help us find her!" Kazuki raised his voice, screaming at his son. He could hear the loud noise on the phone so he didn't know what his son was currently doing.

"What are you doing?! It's so noisy!" Kazuki complained.

Bang! Bang!

Soon, he heard the sound of gunshots! Kazuki's eyes went round. "TATSUMI! Where the hell are you? Why am I hearing so many gunshots?! Did you make trouble again?" Kazuki's blood started to boil in rage. He didn't know if he should get mad or get worried about his son.

"Dad. Calm down. I'm going back. But I have to deal with these flies first. Don't get mad at me. I'm doing this mission for my lady. She gave me a task." Tatsumi tried to explain so that his father would stop scolding him. Besides, he was in the middle of a fight. His father was distracting him.

"Mission? What kind of mission?" Kazuki asked him curiously.

"It's confidential, Dad. It is only between my lady and me. Don't ask me further. But one thing I can guarantee you. Once I accomplish this mission, I will propose to her. She can't say no to me." Tatsumi said proudly. He even let out a soft chuckle.

Kazuki didn't completely believe him. He thought his son was spouting some nonsense. "Finding our young mistress is our top priority. Abort that mission! Return here! We must find Jane as soon as possible!"

"I got it, Dad! I'm heading to the airport now! I'll escape here safely." Tatsumi hung up the phone. He focused his attention on fighting the members of the King Stallion Mafia. His goal was to find a safe route for escape. He was surrounded by hundreds of men.

Tatsumi started exchanging fires with his opponents. Though he was outnumbered, Tatsumi had this confidence that he won't lose. He couldn't let them capture him, especially now that he had something more important to do– Finding Jane.

Meanwhile, Speed was watching Tatsumi from the distance. She had to admit that this one guy was giving her underlings a hard time. It wasn't easy to capture him alive. If this was only an assassination mission, she already finished it early. However, capturing this man alive was not an easy job!

Speed moved and found a good spot where she could target Tatsumi. She was now carrying her sniper's rifle. It was a long-range rifle with high accuracy when firing at her target.

"I can't aim at his head nor his chest. I should shoot him in the leg so that he can no longer run away from us," Speed mumbled to herself as she positioned herself.

Tatsumi was busy firing at her subordinates. After a few seconds, Speed finally got a clear shot.

Bang!

The first shot had missed since Tatsumi used a man as his shield. Speed frowned because she didn't know if it was just a coincidence or if Tatsumi knew that she was targeting him from afar.

"This guy! His survival instinct is so strong!" Speed shook her head. She started to find another clear shot. She was observing and following Tatsumi's every move.

"Where are you going to hide, Buddy?" Speed continued her monologue.

She noticed that Tatsumi stopped firing at her underlings. "Haha! He ran out of ammunition!"

Using her communication device, she talked to her men and ordered them, "Go and chase after him now! He can't fire at you. He ran out of ammunition!"

"Copy!"

Speed directed them about Tatsumi's current position. Several men were approaching his hiding spot.

"You can't escape from us," Speed said confidently.

Tatsumi was put in a tight spot. Every corner was filled with enemies. But to her surprise, she didn't see any hint of fear or worry on his face. He remained calm. Tatsumi was even smiling as if he was enjoying this.

"This is one tough guy! I commend him for being composed despite his difficult situation." Speed couldn't help but admire Tatsumi.

Tatsumi was back to fighting those men using his fists and dagger. As he was immersed in beating those men who rushed in his direction, Tatsumi failed to dodge Speed's shot.

Bang!

Tatsumi was hit in his right leg.

"Argh!" He groaned and gazed up, turning in the direction where the gunshot came from. "Damn! There's a sniper!"
