Chapter 278 Finally Recognized My Brother
After walking around a corner, the half-open door came into view.
The piercing siren could be heard very clearly even from a distance of several meters. However, such a loud noise did not alert the building management staff, which was strange. Nobushige recalled the security room he just passed by. Maybe the gangster used some method to get rid of the security personnel. But in the final analysis, their awareness is too weak, and it is not even as effective as the residents' own security measures.
"What?! Why can't I open a cabinet!!!" Nobuhiro heard the gangster's angry voice before he entered.
I think this "poor guy" was almost driven crazy. He carefully selected for a long time before deciding on the target of the theft. Before the operation, he confirmed several times that no one was at home. However, after he actually started planning, he frequently encountered disadvantages.
The gangster looked around, found a kitchen knife from the kitchen, and slashed it against the cabinet door. However, the seemingly ordinary and fragile wooden door only had a shallow mark carved by the kitchen knife, revealing the luster of the metal inside.
Gold, metal? ? ?
Is this Asano Nobushige poisonous? Who knows how to make furniture out of metal? Did he think this was a bank vault? ? ?
The gangster was shocked by the cabinet in front of him and doubted his life. Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in his ear: "I know the password to unlock the protection. Do you need it?"
The gangster's eyes lit up, and he nodded fiercely without thinking: "Yes! Why don't you..." He suddenly froze, and the words he had not yet finished were stuck in his throat, unable to come up or come down.
He stiffly turned his head and looked behind him, only to see a young man standing next to him with a slight bow. The smile on his face was gentle and bright, but in the eyes of the gangster, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"You...who are you?" Perhaps because he had suffered too many blows, the gangster was surprisingly calm when he asked this question.
"I," Nobuhiro narrowed his eyes, "I am the owner of this apartment, so who are you?"
wrong! How can he chat with others here!
The gangster suddenly reacted, jumped up and ran away.
However, how could Nobuhiro give him a chance to escape. He took half a step forward, stretched out his hand and clamped the gangster's arm with a "slight" force. With a scream of "ah--", the gangster's arm was dislocated.
Nobushige pinned him behind his back and pressed him to the floor. The gangster tried to break free, but found that he couldn't use any strength in this position. He could only say harsh words with a ferocious look on his face: "Where do you belong, kid? Tell me your name, be careful my brother comes to kill you!"
Xinfan showed a scared expression, but the strength of his hands increased a lot: "Since you said so, in order to prevent retaliation, of course I can't tell you your name."
"I remember your last name is Asano! Ha! Just wait!!"
"Really?" Xinfan narrowed his eyes dangerously, his voice cold and murderous, "A dead person cannot speak."
The gangster's shouting paused strangely after these words. A fine line of cold sweat broke out on the back of his head, and his hands that were clamped began to tremble.
This guy is serious! He really knows how to kill! !
The gangster thinks that he is not a kind person, and his hands are stained with blood. He knows the difference between "threat" and "seriousness" very well. The man who subdued him must have killed someone before. He might stab himself several times at any time.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and as he saw himself changing from a perpetrator to a victim, despair gradually showed in the gangster's eyes.
He couldn't help but start to wonder, did the people he killed before feel the same way before they died?
It turns out that approaching death is such a painful thing.
Not to mention regretting the killing, the gangster now at least regrets choosing the Asano family to kill. If he could turn back time, he would stay far away from this apartment! The Yoshida house I investigated before was pretty good. It was a high-end apartment, and the owner was often away from home.
The gangster was thinking wildly and didn't realize that the person who had restrained him had tied him up with a rope.
Haihara Ai didn't know that the moment the alarm sounded, all the doors and cupboard doors in the entire apartment had been locked, and she was still hiding in the closet in the bedroom, shivering.
Until the footsteps are getting closer and closer...
A gangster? Is he about to discover himself?
Will he kill someone? If she pretended to be blind, would she have escaped disaster?
With a "beep" sound, the closet door opened, and bright lights chased each other into the closet in an instant, illuminating Hui Yuan Ai's pale little face.
"Xiao Ai." Xinfan showed her most familiar smile to Haibara Ai, trying his best to dispel the fear the gangster had inflicted on the child. He opened his hands and said softly, "I'm sorry I came back a little late."
Suddenly, a wave of heat surged into Haiyuan Ai's eyes. She was afraid that the person in front of her was fake, and that he would turn into the unfamiliar face of a gangster in the blink of an eye. Haibara Ai hurriedly wiped away her tears and looked carefully for a while before confirming that it was indeed Asano Nobushige who found her.
"Brother!!" Haiyuan Ai threw herself into Xinfan's arms, tightly grasping the corner of his clothes, her voice was hoarse, "There is a thief, he came in to steal things!"
Nobuhiro allowed the girl to mess up his clothes, and even he didn't notice the tenderness in his eyes: "Well, I know, brother has subdued the bad guy."
It has been a long time since the adoption procedures were completed, and this was the first time that Haihara Ai called him "brother". Such an intimate title instantly touched the softness in Xinfan's heart, making him have the urge to give the best things in the world to Xiaoai.
What people value most is often the things they can't get.
Just like Suzuki Sonoko cherishes the handsome guy she can't get the most, Nobuhiro is used to walking alone, with family ties close yet out of reach, so the sudden appearance of "brother" can make him happy for a long time.
He knew that such meaningless feelings were unacceptable. Asano Nobushige was very powerful precisely because he had no relatives or friends. And once his sister appears in his life, this existence will inevitably become his weakness.
Haiyuan Ai noticed the disappointment in Xin Fan's eyes. She stretched out her hand in confusion and touched his brow.
"Mr. Asano, are you sad?"
"Call me brother!" Nobufan's expression suddenly became solemn and firm.
Hui Yuan Ai looked at it and smiled suddenly: "Okay, brother!"
Two struggling souls soaked in sewage touched each other in this way. At that moment, it seemed that a ray of sunlight penetrated the haze, weakly but tenaciously illuminating the road under their feet.
Well, that's it.
Weaknesses can indeed limit many things, but similarly, people become stronger because of the existence of weaknesses.
