Chapter 27: Coincidence
"This is it." The three sisters took a taxi to a high-end garden forest complex in Meguro Ward. This is a famous rich area in Tokyo. Many rich people and stars live here. The complex is full of magnificent detached houses, which are the so-called big villas.
Sakura Hoshino lives in it. After the phone communication failed, Luo Quan planned to solve the problem face-to-face with her. Although those blackers on the internet didn't hurt or itch when spraying her, she would feel distressed if it affected record sales.
Because she was worried, Seeing Wen Xia and Junko Yagyu volunteered to come with Luo Quan, at least to ensure that Luo Quan would not suffer if they fought.
But now that they got off the car, how to get in became a big problem.
The entrance of this high-end complex has security guards on duty. Without an invitation from residents, outsiders generally cannot get in at all.
If they disguised as renovation employees, they might be able to muddle through, but the three of them went out in a hurry, and now there is no time to prepare props. After hesitating, they could only bite the bullet and walk inside, pretending that the security guards next to them couldn't see them.
But in broad daylight, three living people walked past in front of them. As long as they were not blind, it was impossible not to see them.
"Stop!" A security guard shouted, and the three of them suddenly trembled and froze in place.
"Please swipe the entry card here before entering the complex." The security guard patted the machine standing next to him and said with a serious expression.
The three sisters walked over slowly, and the dodging eyes made the security guard feel suspicious.
The security guard frowned and asked: "You are not outsiders, are you?"
Luo Quan could only bite the bullet and say: "We do live here, but we forgot to bring the entry card today."
The security guard wondered: "Then when I was on duty, why didn't I seem to have seen the three of you?"
"We usually wear masks when we go out, but the situation is special today, so we didn't wear them. It's normal that you don't recognize us."
The security guard thought thoughtfully: "There are indeed many stars living here, and many people wearing masks come in and out every day. So you are also stars?"
"Can't be considered any stars, can only say somewhat famous. I don't know if you have heard of Izumi?"
The security guard brother immediately clapped his hands: "Ah—that American singer who sings very well, right? She is indeed quite popular recently."
Junko Yagyu looked at Luo Quan suspiciously: "America? Aren't you Chinese?"
"Oh, this is not the point!" In order to prevent the topic from being led astray, Luo Quan hurriedly said: "I am Izumi. You can find my pictures by searching on the internet. You can confirm my identity by comparing them."
The security guard brother waved his hand hurriedly: "No need to confirm, I do have some impressions about you, I didn't expect your house to live here..."
Saying that, the security guard brother paused and hesitated: "Can you give me an autograph? Because I have been a security guard here for two years, I have always heard that there are many stars here, but I have never met one. For an ordinary person like me, getting an autograph from a star should be able to brag for a long time."
The security guard brother smiled very simply and said his true thoughts.
Luo Quan thought to herself: Maybe you could brag for a long time with my autograph before, but after today, whether you can take it out to brag is an unknown.
However, she still nodded and said: "Of course, do you have paper and pen?"
The security guard brother rushed into the security booth and rummaged through boxes and cabinets. Finally, he found a marker pen full of scratches in the corner, tore open the lid and drew two strokes on his hand. There was ink!
"Just sign it on my security uniform." The security guard brother handed the pen to Luo Quan and turned around.
The security uniform is sky blue. Luo Quan slowly wrote her name on it. This time it was in regular script.
"Okay." Luo Quan closed the pen cap and said.
The security guard brother turned his head to look at his back while saying: "Really trouble you, you can go in, remember to bring the entry card next time."
"It should be us who are troubled." Luo Quan smiled, and then hurriedly turned and walked towards the inside of the complex...
"The seventh detached house on the right road... that's it!" Luo Quan and the three searched for a while and finally saw the house hidden behind the tall trees.
The three women walked quickly to the door.
Luo Quan pressed the doorbell and waited quietly for Sakura Hoshino to open the door.
Ten seconds passed, no movement. Luo Quan pressed again, and after another ten seconds, the door still didn't open.
"Is she not at home?" Luo Quan muttered to herself, and was about to press again when the door suddenly opened a
A tall man in a black suit blocked the door crack, staring at Luo Quan with an indifferent expression: "Who are you looking for?"
Luo Quan was clearly stunned for a moment; wasn't it said that Hoshino Sakura was single? After coming back to her senses, she hurriedly said: "I'm looking for Miss Hoshino. May I ask who you are?"
The man in the suit's tone was very blunt: "You've got the wrong place, she's not here!"
It was this very answer that made suspicion instantly arise in Luo Quan's heart.
She hadn't said the full name, only the surname. If they had encountered someone who didn't know her, most people would say "I don't know her" or "There is no Miss Hoshino here."
Yet this man's answer was that she wasn't here, which meant there was a high probability he knew Hoshino Sakura, and there were only two possibilities for such an answer.
Either this person was Hoshino Sakura's family member or secret lover, and because Hoshino Sakura didn't want to see her, he was sent out to dismiss her.
And the second possibility was that this man was a robber!
Luo Quan leaned more towards the latter; after all, what normal person wears a suit at home in the middle of summer?
Especially since the man in the suit had an extremely impatient look while speaking, and was about to close the door immediately after finishing.
Fortunately, Luo Quan was quick-witted and immediately reached out to wedge the door.
No matter the situation, she was going to enter this house today; even if they really were robbers, Luo Quan had the confidence to subdue them!
The man in the suit frowned: "Miss, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to break into a private residence?"
"I know Hoshino Sakura is inside. I won't leave today until I see her. Please, trouble yourself to call her out." Luo Quan's tone was very polite, but one foot was already wedged into the door crack, and Yagyu Junko and Seeing Wen Xia were also behind Luo Quan, reaching out to prop the door open.
"What's going on?" A voice came from behind the man in the suit, and another burly man walked out from inside the house. Luo Quan, using the sunlight passing through the door crack, keenly spotted a small scar on this person's chin.
She then met this person's gaze, which was cold and dangerous.
Luo Quan's heart skipped a beat, but she still smiled and said: "I am Hoshino Sakura's colleague. I've come to find her today because there is a very important matter to discuss. Please, must you let us in?"
"Since you are so persistent..." The scarred man glanced at the man in the suit and said: "Then come in."
As soon as the words fell, the man in the suit also generously opened the door and stood with the scarred man. The two retreated side-by-side, their bodies perfectly blocking the view of the scene behind the hallway.
"Everyone come in. Seeing Wen Xia, stay behind me." Luo Quan turned around, pulled Seeing Wen Xia, who was originally on the outermost side, to her side, and then winked fiercely at Yagyu Junko.
Junko was incredibly smart; although she didn't understand exactly what Luo Quan wanted to express, under normal circumstances, she certainly wouldn't make such an expression. Something must have gone wrong, so her vigilance was immediately raised.
The three of them walked in one after another. The man in the suit turned sideways to pass the three women, closed the door, and then with a "click," locked it from the inside.
And at this moment, Luo Quan finally saw the state of the living room.
It was a mess, with broken glass all over the floor and a sofa overturned; one could tell that a fierce struggle had taken place here.
The scarred man only took two steps back, his gaze fixed on Luo Quan like a starving wolf.
"You are robbers, right?" Luo Quan asked in a deep voice.
The scarred man said coldly: "Hell has no gate, you are the one who insisted on breaking in."
"Junko, you said you learned real skills from your grandfather. I hope you aren't bluffing." Luo Quan pulled a black umbrella from the umbrella stand on her left and threw it to Yagyu Junko.
Yagyu Junko held the umbrella handle with both hands and said worriedly: "I'm fine, but you..."
"Hold on, I can help you in half a minute at most." Luo Quan crossed her fingers and flipped them outward, producing a series of popping sounds like roasting beans. She twisted her shoulders, slowly placed her hands in fists at her waist, and stepped forward with her left foot.
This was the most common combat stance in Karate!
"I didn't expect you to have practiced Karate." The scarred man smiled contemptuously, clearly not taking Luo Quan to heart.
Although he hadn't received specialized martial arts training, his physique was much stronger than Luo Quan's. Besides, how good could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl's Karate be?
"Do it!" The man in the suit facing Yagyu Junko let out a soft shout, blowing the horn for this battle.
