Chapter 1150 Tears are the most useless thing
"Don't worry, Mr. Banjing." Xu Tian nodded solemnly, his tone certain and without the slightest hesitation: "Although I, Xu Tian, am not a big shot, I am a man of my word."
I will keep what happened today a secret; I will absolutely not utter a single word about it to anyone else.
Xu Tian's attitude was firm and sincere, and there was no evasion in his eyes, which lessened Itai Yudai's doubts even more.
She gave Xu Tian a deep look, as if judging the truth of his words. After a moment, she slowly looked away and turned to look at Shen Suqiu, who was hiding behind Xu Tian.
Shen Suqiu was still crying, her shoulders trembling, like a little rabbit who had suffered a great injustice.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there were still tear stains on her face. She looked extremely pitiful.
When Yudai Itai saw her like this, his anger flared up again. He was about to scold her again, but when he saw her terrified and pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to say it.
Ultimately, she was just a young girl fresh out of school, and it was already quite remarkable that she got involved in such a dangerous situation.
Although this was a big mistake, it was also because of my naivety and simple-mindedness.
Yudai Itai sighed inwardly, suppressing his anger.
"What are you crying for!" Yudai Itai's tone was still stern, but those who knew him well could tell that his sternness had softened considerably compared to before, with less rage and more helplessness.
"Tears are the most useless thing! Crying here will only make you look more foolish! Get up now! Come with me!"
Upon hearing Ban Jingyu's words, Shen Suqiu trembled slightly and then slowly stopped crying.
She raised her hand and hastily wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, then sniffed, trying to calm herself down.
She slowly walked out from behind Xu Tian, still keeping her head down, not daring to look into Itagaki's large eyes. Her voice was thick with a nasal tone as she softly replied, "Yes, Mr. Itagaki."
Xu Tian sensed the movement behind him, turned slightly to the side, reached out and gently helped Shen Suqiu up, his movements gentle and reassuring.
He leaned closer to Shen Suqiu and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "It's alright, Suqiu, don't be afraid."
"Let's go with Mr. Itai first, and leave this place first."
Shen Suqiu felt the warmth of her cousin's hand, and the panic and fear in her heart calmed down a little.
She nodded slightly, looked up at Xu Tian, and her eyes showed a hint of gratitude and dependence.
In this strange and dangerous place, her cousin's support was her only comfort.
Ignoring the interaction between the two, Yudai Itai turned around and walked towards the door.
The leather boots made a steady and powerful sound as they stepped on the cement floor, carrying an undeniable sense of authority.
As he reached the door, he paused slightly, glanced back at Xu Tian and Shen Suqiu, and urged them on with a hint of urgency in his eyes.
Xu Tian helped Shen Suqiu along, carefully following behind Itagaki Yuta.
Shen Suqiu's steps were still somewhat unsteady, clearly not yet fully recovered from the shock she had just experienced. Xu Tian deliberately slowed his pace to match her rhythm, while cautiously observing their surroundings.
Occasionally, military police would walk by in the corridor, casting curious glances at the place. The dim yellow light flickered, and a faint musty smell and disinfectant odor filled the air, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Stepping out of the military police station, a cool evening breeze instantly swept over me, dispelling some of the lingering oppression and heat in the detention room.
The sky outside had already darkened, like a black cloth soaked in ink, heavily pressing down on the city.
The streetlights along the street have been lit one after another, and the dim yellow light shines through the glass lampshades, casting blurry circles of light and shadow on the bluestone pavement, outlining the winding street with a hazy contour.
Occasionally, late-night pedestrians would hurry by, their steps quick, their shadows stretched long and short under the streetlights, before quickly disappearing into the shadows at the street corner.
A faint smell of coal smoke filled the air, mixed with the aroma of food wafting from a small restaurant in the distance. This was the lively atmosphere of Shanghai at night, but it seemed particularly distant at this moment.
Three cars were parked quietly under the streetlights to the right of the military police headquarters gate. They were all old-fashioned black sedans, their bodies polished to a shine, gleaming with a cold, hard luster under the dim light.
Several military police officers, seeing Itai Yudai leading two people out, immediately hurried forward, their steps slow and deliberate, not daring to linger in the slightest.
One of them walked to the rear door of the middle car, respectfully opened the door, and slightly bent his arm to block the top edge of the door to prevent the group from bumping heads.
"Get in the car." Itai Yudai's voice still carried the lingering fatigue and sternness, his gaze fixed on Shen Suqiu, devoid of any extra emotion.
Shen Suqiu's body stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously looked up at Xu Tian beside her, her eyes full of hesitation and helplessness.
Her fingers tightened around the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning white, as if she were struggling with something, both fearing Ikai Yuta's imposing presence and feeling uneasy about being separated from her cousin.
After a moment's hesitation, she ultimately didn't dare to say anything more. With her head down, she carefully climbed into the back seat of the car like a frightened little animal.
The moment the car door closed, it shut out the evening breeze and the occasional voices outside, and a sense of oppression instantly enveloped her in the carriage.
Yudai Itai didn't get on the car immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Xu Tian, who was still standing there. His brows were still furrowed, and his tone was calm but carried an unquestionable command: "You get on the car too."
Xu Tian was visibly taken aback when he heard this.
A flicker of surprise flashed across his eyes, as if he hadn't expected Itai Yudai to let him ride in the car with him.
I originally thought that Itai Yu would most likely separate himself from Shen Suqiu so that he could talk to her alone.
Xu Tian quickly composed himself, nodded slightly, and calmly replied, "Okay."
He then stepped into the car and sat down next to Shen Suqiu.
Yudai Itai then got into the passenger seat.
With a deep roar from the engine, the car slowly started and smoothly drove away from the military police station gate, heading deeper into the street.
The carriage fell into a deathly silence. No one spoke, except for the soft rustling of the tires as the car drove over the road and the slight vibration of the engine, which were particularly clear in the cramped space.
Shen Suqiu remained with her head down, her shoulders trembling slightly, and long eyelashes still glistening with wet tears.
She pulled a crumpled handkerchief from her sleeve and, taking advantage of the dim light in the carriage, would occasionally stealthily wipe her eyes, her movements gentle, as if afraid of disturbing Yudai Itagaki in front of her.
