The reporters, who were just about to leave because there was no fresh news, had their eyes light up the moment they saw this disheveled, seemingly insane woman rush out.
Like hyenas that have smelled blood, they immediately turned back, pointing their cameras at the suddenly appearing woman and began frantically taking pictures.
Flashes of light filled the air, illuminating the hospital entrance as if it were daytime.
Kirisawa Jin, who was guarding the door, frowned as he recognized the person who had come in.
Asano Kaori?
Why is this person here?
Could it be that the boss has already won over this woman so quickly?
Kirisawa Jin didn't speak immediately; he simply gave his subordinates a subtle wink.
The elite members of the True Dragon Society immediately understood and ignored the ordinary people, rushing directly towards the reporters who were still frantically taking pictures.
They acted roughly, snatching cameras and video recorders from the reporters' hands.
As for those who didn't cooperate, they were punched to the ground and their cameras were smashed to pieces.
Jin Kirisawa understood perfectly well that Ryuzaki Makoto was no longer an unknown nobody.
His every move is under scrutiny, and any gossip about his private life could be amplified and used as a weapon by his enemies to attack him, so there can be no mistakes whatsoever.
He didn't linger for long, and directly said to the dazed Asano Kaori:
"Miss Xia Zhi, there's no need to rush. Please come in with me now."
Asano Kaori's face was deathly pale. Hearing Kirisawa Jin's words, she simply nodded listlessly and followed him into the hospital, looking utterly lost.
Because the heel of one of her high heels was broken, Xia Zhi walked unsteadily, but she seemed completely unaware of it.
When the two reached the elevator, Kaori kept her head down and didn't ask Kirisawa Jin a single question about Ryuzaki Makoto's current situation.
She dared not ask, afraid of hearing the answer she least wanted to hear from the other person.
To this day, Natsumi still doesn't know what she really feels for that man named Ryuzaki Makoto.
If someone were to ask her what's so great about Ryuzaki Makoto, Kaori definitely wouldn't be able to answer.
But even now, she can still vividly dream of that night in Black Crow Town when she wakes up in the middle of the night.
Ryuzaki Makoto hugged himself tightly and fought his way through the encirclement of dozens of thugs.
That sense of security was something she had never experienced before.
She could still dream of Ryuzaki Makoto sitting at the piano in that upscale restaurant, playing that piece just for her.
Undeniably, that man has already occupied an undeniable place in Xia Zhi's heart.
That's why, when she saw Ryuzaki Mako being shot and falling on the TV news, her mind went blank, and she rushed over like a madwoman, disregarding everything.
With a "ding," the elevator arrived at the third floor, pulling Xia Zhi back to reality.
She followed Kirisawa Jin out of the elevator and immediately saw a group of Shinryukai members standing or squatting around the entrance of the intensive care unit.
However, the scene was not as gloomy and desolate as she had imagined.
These people showed no sadness whatsoever; several of them were even gathered together, smoking and chatting happily.
When Kirisawa Jin saw this, he frowned slightly and looked somewhat uncomfortable.
He quickened his pace and shouted angrily at his group of henchmen:
"You bunch of brats, are you always this unruly? Looks like with Goro Ishida recovering in the hospital, nobody can control you?"
When these people saw that Kirisawa Jin had arrived, they were so frightened that they immediately threw their cigarette butts on the ground and stomped them out, stood close to the wall, and didn't dare to breathe.
Kirisawa Jin turned to Kaori and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Miss Xia Zhi, you must have found this amusing."
After saying this, Kirisawa Jin ignored his subordinates and, with Natsumi by his side, personally pushed open the door to the intensive care unit. He turned to the side and whispered:
"The president... is inside."
Xia Zhi took a deep breath and stepped inside.
Kirisawa Jin was outside and gently closed the door.
...
When Xia Zhi went inside, she found that it was just an external isolation room.
She took a few more steps forward and pushed open another heavy door, finally entering the so-called "ward".
Xia Zhi looked around and was completely stunned.
This is hardly an intensive care unit; it's more like a luxurious private suite in a five-star hotel.
The room is spacious and bright, and has all kinds of facilities.
At that moment, on the large bed in the center of the room, a man was lying there shirtless, leisurely watching the TV on the wall, with half an apple in his mouth, making a crunching sound as he ate it.
While eating an apple, Ryuzaki Makoto said to the door without turning his head:
"Kirizawa Jin, don't be too strict with those kids outside. I told them not to be so tense. After all, they've been busy with me all day, so they deserve to relax. Take them out to find a place to have some fun and a good meal. Put the bill on me."
At this point, Ryuzaki Masashi slowly raised his head to look at the person who had just arrived.
He was shocked when he saw it.
Asano Kaori?
Why is this woman here?
Judging from her disheveled and disheveled appearance, she must have arrived in a hurry.
Asano Kaori looked at Ryuzaki Makoto on the bed, who seemed completely unaffected, without saying a word, just silently watching him.
In those eyes, there was shock, there was confusion, but more than anything, there was an indescribable disappointment.
Without saying a word, she turned and left.
As soon as she turned around, the tears she had been holding back finally broke free and streamed down her face.
Plop, plop.
Hot tears shattered on the floor, splashing up tiny droplets.
Asano Kaori was heartbroken.
I was so stupid, so ridiculous.
This man definitely has more than one woman in his life.
Why didn't the other women come?
There is only one explanation: Ryuzaki Makoto had informed them beforehand that he was safe and sound, and told them that this was just a play.
However, he didn't tell himself that he was alright.
In his mind, he was never considered "one of his own".
You made me so worried, and I rushed here without thinking...
What a scammer!
Xia Zhi became increasingly heartbroken, and felt that her actions were so ridiculous and pathetic.
Now, all she wants is to leave this place that hurts her as soon as possible, and get as far away from this man as possible.
Xia Zhi quickened her pace, almost jogging.
However, due to her emotional state and the broken heel of her high heel, she suddenly lost her balance, cried out in alarm, and was about to fall onto the cold floor.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a strong and powerful arm suddenly reached out from behind and steadily pulled her into a hug.
Xia Zhi subconsciously raised her head and met Ryuzaki Makoto's eyes, which were full of concern.
Are you alright?
However, at this moment, Xia Zhi abandoned her usual calm and restraint and began to struggle frantically in his arms.
"Let go of me! I don't need your fake concern! I want to go back!"
Ryuzaki Makoto ignored Kaori's struggles, instead using his arms to lift her up in his arms and carrying her to the large bed in the room.
Xia Zhi continued to pound on his chest, but her soft little fists couldn't cause any harm to Ryuzaki Makoto when they landed on his solid chest.
Ryuzaki ignored her ticklish resistance and simply walked into the room, gently placing her on the soft bed.
Then he squatted down and, without saying a word, began to slowly take off Xia Zhi's broken high heel
