A small person with big ambitions

  "You say Kawabe and Hiro killed out of revenge, then why did he kill that private investigator?" Sei Shū asked.

  "Because the detective was hired by his wife to investigate him. Those people involved back then are all dead, either from accidents or murder, so naturally Sawa Kawahara would be worried. Kazuhiko sensed that someone was investigating him and found out that the detective was sent by Sawa, so..."

  "Wait, you said you went to Kawada's apartment last night, so did you see Seto Haruka too? You... aren't worried about the police looking for you?"

  Hidemasa smiled and said, "It was I who reported to the police. Even if they had suspicions, they wouldn't pin the crime of murder on me. Because when the police arrived, Sekikawa Haruka confessed to the police before her death that she owed an apology to Kazuhiko and Sachiko, saying she didn't blame Kazuhiko for treating her like that, it was all what she deserved."

  "So this case is closed?"

  "Hmm. The police are looking for Kazuhiko, but they will never find him because his body was completely reduced to ashes when he attained enlightenment. Seijou, thank you so much for this. If it weren't for you, who knows what would have become of Kazuhiko by now, or what kind of harm he might have brought to the world? That's something that neither I nor Sachiko could ever bear to see."

  English Translation:

  Xiu Ming bowed down again, his body expressing deep gratitude once more.

  "Hehe, nothing, nothing... just a small matter." Cheng Zhou was embarrassed by the praise, but in fact he didn't even remember what he had done.

  "Knock knock."

  Who?

  The three people in the ward looked towards the door together.

  "Sorry to disturb you, we are police officers. We'd like to know about what happened to Mr. Cheng last night." The door was opened and Officer Nan Shan, an old acquaintance, walked in, followed by a string of others who also entered uninvited.

  It seems he should have locked the door. When Cheng Zhou saw the familiar police uniform appear at the door, he immediately pulled up the quilt, lay down, and closed his eyes to pretend to be unconscious. The whole process took less than three seconds.

  "Mr. Cheng, I saw you just now and it seems like your body is in good condition."

  A clearly sarcastic tone of professional arrogance sounded beside Cheng Chou.

  Cheng Zhou held his breath. He really didn't want to see another person in a police uniform, especially the owner of this voice. He knew what they came for, but... he was afraid that if he told the truth, he would be sent directly to a mental hospital by Officer Nan Shan, who had been looking at him with disdain from the start!

  "Mr. Cheng, if it's convenient for you now, would you mind answering a few questions?"

  Should I answer the police's questions? Cheng Chou was still considering with his head buried under the blanket.

  "Nan Shan, have you forgotten what we came here for today?" Suzuki stopped Nan Shan with a sigh, and then he awkwardly said to Cheng Chou who was covering his head: "Mr. Cheng, the reason we came here today is not only to ask you about what happened last night when you were injured and try to catch the culprit as soon as possible. Also, ah, the several murder cases that occurred in the mountain have basically been solved, and the culprit has also been basically identified. This period of time has caused you great trouble, we are deeply sorry, and hope you can..."

  Cheng Zhou grasped the edge of the quilt and moved it slightly, humming. Now you finally know I was wronged, right? But what's the use of just saying sorry so easily?

  "Suzuki, no need to say more, I don't think he's a good person at all. If he were a good person, would he not acknowledge his own son?" Nanzan interrupted Suzuki's apology.

  Chengzhou flew into a rage and decided not to say anything to Nanshan today.

  Suzuki glared at Nanzan and walked towards the bedside with a watermelon.

  "Hello little friend." Suzuki smiled and greeted the child: "Have you been good these past two days? Later, Uncle will take you to eat ramen, okay?"

  He's really something! So obedient that he beat his father's melon face into a bun face, and even fought with his seriously ill father for food to eat!

  "Not good."

  Huh?

  "Dad is sick......" Such a pitiful and faint cry of sorrow.

  The child's hand poked lightly at the top of Cheng Chou's head, where a few strands of hair were exposed. Cheng Chou's eyes rolled back and his mind went dark as he genuinely fainted.

  Two minutes later, Nan Shan was extremely rude and lifted the quilt without waiting for Cheng Zhou's answer, speechless.

  A week later, Narita Airport.

  The air is really good today! Really good!

  After completing the luggage consignment procedures, Cheng Zhou stood in the airport hall, raised his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suddenly feeling refreshed and relieved.

  He is finally leaving this country that makes him extremely uncomfortable, he has finally gotten rid of that inexplicably appeared son.

  Haha! This world is really wonderful!

  Although he left Japan without telling anyone including Xiuying who had always taken care of him, making his return journey a bit lonely, he vowed it was worth it.

  He thought of him sending the little devil to the police station, and with a righteous tone, he said to a group of people in uniform: "If you want me to admit that this kid is mine, show me the evidence!" He was so thrilled, it had been a long time since he had been so triumphant.

  However, really leaving that little devil, it seems like I miss him a bit. Although that little devil is really annoying, but... occasionally there's also a thread of cuteness. Just one millimeter more.

  Hehe......, Chengzhou's smile stiffened on his face as he walked to the waiting room door.

  He seems to have seen a familiar face?

  Almost all familiar faces have come.

  How did they know he was leaving at this time today?

  What are the husband and wife of the Shan Le Zhuang doing here? He doesn't seem to have a good relationship with them to this extent, does he?

  And what's South Mountain doing here? Don't tell him, this guy is running over to supervise. The most excessive thing is that this guy is still wearing the damn uniform, and it's possible that others will think they're escorting prisoners!

  "After that, you will have to leave J country and live in a completely unfamiliar country. Child, you must be strong, do you know? If you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, find a way to inform us, we will definitely do our best to help you. Oh, my poor child, I hope your father won't abandon you again." The mistress of the villa hugged the small figure on the ground and said emotionally with tears.

  Cheng Zhou's hands began to tremble. It turned out they weren't here to see him off...

  Where are they going to send that little guy?

  I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything at all! Let's go out another door, the waiting hall should have more than one entrance.

  Covering half of her face with her left hand, Cheng Zhou moved cautiously.

  "Cough! Mr. Cheng. We've been waiting for you for a long time, and it took you quite a while to entrust your luggage." Nanshan's voice.

  "Cheng Zhou." is Xiù Míng.

  Cheng Zhou stopped in his tracks, turned around, squeezed out a smile, raised his right hand and said, "Hey, Xiū Míng, you guys are here to see me off? What a coincidence! I'm really sorry to trouble you, let's just go this far, the rest of the way I can walk myself, haha."

  Nan Shan stepped forward just in time to block his way.

  Before Nanshan could speak, Cheng Zhou took the lead and said: "What are you doing at the airport? Have you found the murderer who wants to kill me?"

  Nan Shan's face was like he had swallowed ten dates whole, and the apology he wanted to express was stuck in his throat.

  Cheng Zhou felt a sense of relief and satisfaction, he could finally get back at him in front of this person! Kawabe's corpse had turned to ashes, I'll see where you go to find the murderer? If you can't find the murderer, you'll spend the rest of your life feeling guilty towards me.

  Nan Shan's lips moved slightly.

  Cheng Zhou smiled and waved his hand, "I understand, I understand, you haven't found him yet? No need to apologize to me, that's useless. Wait till you find the murderer and show up in front of me again, goodbye! No, I hope we never meet again!"

  Cheng Zhou turned around and was about to leave, when Nan Shan adjusted his hat brim and said: "Mr. Cheng, don't you want to know how your son came here?"

  Cheng Zhou's footsteps paused, he didn't want to listen, not at all, really!

  Nan Shan deliberately walked in front of him and stated, "In fact, we have already fully understood the situation. The child's mother had flown to Hua Xia for tourism five years ago, where she met you. I think you must have had a beautiful memory together, which is why such a lovely crystal was born."

  The child's mother is dying of cancer and has no relatives to take care of the child, so before she dies, she decides to send the child to you, hoping that as the child's biological father, you will take good care of him.

  Cheng Zhou opens his big mouth.

  The young Nan Shan police officer's eyes flashed with understanding, and as a man himself, he knew that probably no man in this world would want to discover five years after a one-night stand that he had an extra son.

  "Now the child's mother has passed away, and her body has been cremated. You won't have a chance to pay your respects even if you want to." Nanshan said intentionally.

  Cheng Zhou thought to himself, "Who says I want to worship her? I still want to settle accounts with her. How did it inexplicably force a child on me?"

  "Although you refuse to acknowledge the child, the results of scientific verification force you to admit it. DNA testing is never wrong, right? After comparison, we can be 100% certain that this child is your son!" With a rustling sound, Officer Nan Shan shook out the papers in his hand.

  How is this possible? When did he ever have a relationship with someone? Or was it a foreigner? Is he really still a virgin or what?

  Cheng Zhou didn't know if he should say this out loud as proof. But saying it out loud seemed too embarrassing... Forget it, it's better to just keep quiet.

  "When did you guys do the DNA comparison? How come I didn't know?" Cheng Zhou's hands were trembling, and his voice was shaking too.

  A kid who's going to bring a kid back home... He must be giving his mom a hard time! And, this doesn't mean he'll have a... burden?

  Who's going to kill him?!

  "During your hospitalization, in order to verify the relationship between you and the child, we conducted a detailed investigation, including genetic testing." Nanshan also had another sentence that he didn't say out loud. If Chengzhou wasn't the child's biological father, and there was also the mother's last will, he wouldn't be willing to hand over such an adorable child to a man who seemed not very responsible either.

  "Daddy, don't you want me? Waaah..."

  The small figure looked pitiful, and the strong endurance of tears conquered the hearts of every adult present. It also made every adult cast a blaming gaze at Cheng Jun, who was truly pitiful and unloved.

  Perhaps... perhaps that unknown Japanese woman, when she came to China, thought he was handsome and knew she had cancer, wanted to leave a legacy for herself, so she thought of some way to knock him out, steal his excellent genes and cultivate a child? Hmm, it's very possible. Many strange and fantastical stories of borrowing sperm suddenly emerged in Cheng Zhou's mind.

  It seems that this is the only way to explain why he and this seemingly cute little devil's genes are so highly compatible.

  But he swore that all the bad genes of that little devil absolutely did not come from him. What kind of good woman can think of borrowing a breed, or even borrowing a foreign breed? Hmph! Without even asking if he was willing or not, at least ask him once, and he wasn't so repelled by one-night stands either... Cough cough!

  Is that woman too ugly, so she doesn't have the confidence to seduce him? Cheng Zhou puffed out his chest, even if I'm not a pretty boy, I'm still close to being a handsome guy!

  "Daddy, waaah... don't you really want me? Waaah!" The child cried with hiccupping sobs, gasping for breath.

  "Uh, I... how could I not want you... good son." In the face of strong pressure, a wall-to-wall grass had to bow its head.

  "Daddy!" The child cried out, throwing himself into his arms and holding on tight.

  What a touching scene! The host and hostess of Shanzhuang, as well as Xiuming, couldn't help but redden their eyes.

  "Uh... can this kid get on a plane with me? He doesn't seem to have a passport or visa?" Cheng Zhou was still trying to struggle.

  "You don't have to worry about this at all. This child now holds J nationality, and with J nationality, no visa is required for entry into your country within 15 days."

  In other words, within 15 days of returning home, you must submit documents to the household registration police in your country and formally include this child in your household registration.

  Of course, after we confirmed your parent-child relationship, we have contacted the Exit and Entry Administration of Hua Xia and submitted the documents to the local public security bureau where you belong. If you forget to submit the application within 15 days, the police will come to find you directly. Oh, I almost forgot, this child will also hold J country nationality until he is 16 years old.

  Nan Shan's face turned cold as he pulled out a plane ticket. He was really worried that this child could not get good care beside Cheng Zhou.

  Because he didn't trust the man's ability to handle things, and was afraid that he would abandon the child again, he went to so much trouble to warn the man: don't think that just by taking the child away you can ignore him.

  If necessary, he would even apply for leave during holidays to visit this child in China.

  "This is a gift from our police department for this child, and his seat is right next to you. Please take good care of him."

  Cheng Zhou took the ticket with a numb expression.

  Xiù Míng walked up and gave Chéng Zhōu a big hug, saying: "Welcome to come to Japan anytime, I will also go see you."

  Cheng Zhou forced a smile and nodded.

  Cheng Zhou bid farewell to the crowd one by one, and under the enthusiastic or threatening gaze of the crowd, he walked into the waiting hall with his head down, carrying a small backpack and holding the child's hand.

  Making sure everyone couldn't hear his voice anymore, Cheng Zhou turned his head to look at Little Fluff beside him.

  The little boy was looking around with his head held high, a smug expression on his face that he couldn't hide.

  I knew this little devil was pretending. Cheng Dad couldn't help but pinch the tender cheeks of the little devil's face.

  "Hey, do you know who I am?"

  "Hmm." The child was still looking at him in wonder and didn't mind Cheng Chou pinching him.

  "Do you know to listen to me from now on?"

  The child's face turned a little dark, and with a flick of his head, he broke free from Cheng Chou's hand.

  "If you dare not listen to me, be careful I'll spank your butt."

  The child's mouth puffed up high.

  "Go back and I'll send you to kindergarten, you must study hard, don't waste the tuition fees I paid for you, got it?"

  The kid puffed out a mouthful of air and continued to look away. Does this little human really think he's his dad? What a joke?

  Cheng Zhou was infuriated by the child's impudent attitude and scolded in a low voice:

  "Hey, kiddo, listen up! Your old man is a total pauper, so don't expect me to buy you lots of new clothes, toys, or take you out every Saturday and Sunday. And forget about eating at McDonald's or KFC all the time, that foreign fast food isn't cheap!"

  Cheng Zhou turned the child's face around.

  The kid blinked his big eyes, looking very innocent.

  "Also, without my permission, you are absolutely not allowed to enter my room. In the morning, get up and fold your own quilt, wash your own face, brush your own teeth, wear your own clothes, socks and underwear cannot be worn for two days, clean up your own room, and when I'm not at home, you are absolutely not allowed to turn on the gas!"

  Also, you must go to bed before 9 pm every night, no watching TV until late at night, and it's not allowed on weekends either. Good habits must be cultivated from a young age! Hmm... Also, no bringing classmates home, no fighting with me for the remote control, and whatever I cook, you eat.

  Little Mao digs into his ears while his old man is reciting scriptures.

  Master Chengyun recited sutras all the way to the plane cabin. Five minutes after takeoff, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.

  "What's your name? Dammit, we've known each other till now and I still don't know your name. Hey, little ghost, didn't your mom give you a name? Where's the plane ticket? There should be your name on it." Cheng Zhou started searching for the flight ticket stub everywhere.

  "Don't look anymore." The child withdrew his gaze from the window, looked up at Cheng Zhou and revealed a very strange, mysterious and lovely smile.

  "My name is Kurenai, Kouya Kurenai."

  Chengzhou's mouth corners rose, and he looked at Xiaomao several times, suddenly opening his big mouth to laugh.

  "Red Leaf? Haha! What a girly name. Become Red Leaf? Wahahaha! How embarrassing! Hahahaha!"

  I don't know if it's because Brother Cheng laughed too hard, but the plane was shaking violently.

  "Ah——!" Let out a miserable cry, Cheng Zhou, who had only sat on an airplane for the second time in his life, tightly hugged the child - he didn't want to die twice within a week!

  Hong Ye Wo was in Cheng Zhou's arms, smiling secretly as she continued to study what this airplane thing was all about.

  Make you laugh at me? I'll make you tumble all the way back to China! Hmph!

  What does it have to do with others on the plane?

  The kid took out a fresh apple from the small backpack given by the couple at Shan Le Zhuang, wiped it on his clothes and took a big bite. Can't bring fruit on the plane? As long as those people and machines can't detect it, it's fine, right?

  With this "crack", the plane shook again, and Cheng Zhou let out a string of screams. Now it's not just him screaming inside the plane.

  The little devil hugged the apple and continued to "crunch, crunch", the plane also shook back and forth, trembled, and the crowd's intermittent screams gradually merged into a symphony called "Soul Shock".

  The child sat on a chair with an apple in his arms, swinging his legs back and forth, shaking his head and listening very happily.

  Is it Huaxia? The red leaves are coming!
