Chapter 931: Wishing You Great Martial Success
At this stage, in order to track down the murderer who killed the Matsumoto family, Tokyo Airport had strengthened its departure checks.
However, due to a shortage of manpower, it was not yet possible to carry out strict control over all passengers.
Although Su Ruoli was holding a Chinese passport, because her boarding pass was for Osaka and not for leaving Japan, the staff did not report it to their superiors.
He just silently recited the name Su Ruoli a few times in his heart, feeling that the name sounded very pleasant, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
Seeing the other party staring blankly at her passport, Su Ruoli’s first thought was whether her identity had been exposed and if the other party had already sensed something.
However, she quickly analyzed it and felt that the possibility of such a thing was not high.
First of all, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department only knew that the person who wiped out the Matsumoto family was a hidden master from China, but beyond that, they knew nothing.
They did not even know the name of the person who killed the entire Matsumoto family.
Furthermore, Japan and China had frequent exchanges; there were many tourists, overseas Chinese, and business elites traveling between the two countries every day. It was impossible for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to lock onto her in such a short time.
After a quick analysis in her mind, Su Ruoli could conclude that the staff member in front of her was most likely just stunned by her appearance, causing him to react a bit slowly.
Thus, she asked the staff member with an expressionless face: "Is my passport that good-looking?"
The other party nodded subconsciously: "Very good-looking..."
After saying this, he realized he had accidentally let it slip. He hurriedly handed the passport back to Su Ruoli with both hands and apologized: "Miss Su, I am so sorry! I didn't mean it!"
Su Ruoli completely ignored his apology and continued to ask him with an icy expression: "Then can I pass now?"
"Of course!" The staff member was pressured by Su Ruoli’s cold and glamorous aura until he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly stamped her boarding pass and handed it to her respectfully.
Su Ruoli took the boarding pass and turned to leave immediately. The staff member turned his head to look at her back, looking completely infatuated, and could not help but sigh and mutter: "This... this is simply the aura of an Empress... apart from TV dramas and anime, I have never seen a woman with such a powerful aura..."
Although this staff member was still thinking about Su Ruoli, Su Ruoli herself had completely put him behind her and arrived next to the security machine.
This time, all of the Su family’s experts were scattered. Since they couldn't leave from Tokyo, everyone dispersed and bought tickets for regular flights as tourists to fly to Osaka individually.
The flight Su Ruoli chose was the 5:40 flight.
After the flight arrived in Osaka, she would join other Su family subordinates and take a private jet temporarily transferred from Zhonghai to return home.
At this very moment, Ye Chen also arrived at the VIP security channel.
Before entering the security gate, he turned to the side and said to Ito Nanako beside him: "Nanako, thank you for taking me so far. I am going through security now, you should go back early too."
Ito Nanako nodded reluctantly and said earnestly: "I wish Ye Chen-jun a smooth journey. Remember to report your safety to me after you land."
"Good!" Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Take care of yourself too!"
Ito Nanako said with red eyes: "Thank you for your concern, Ye Chen-jun, I definitely will!"
Ye Chen nodded and could not help but sigh lightly.
This sigh held reluctance, but also relief.
What he was reluctant about was that Ito Nanako was indeed a rare and good girl; it could be said that apart from her nationality, there were no flaws to be found.
Parting today, it would certainly be difficult for the two to meet again in the future, so Ye Chen naturally felt reluctant in his heart.
As for the relief, it was mainly because he had pulled out the thorn in his heart during this trip to Japan.
That thorn was Ito Nanako.
At the time, Ito Nanako insisted on competing against Qin Aoxue.
And Qin Aoxue’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds because of his Rejuvenation Pill.
In the end, Qin Aoxue seriously injured Ito Nanako in the ring, which was a thorn in Ye Chen’s heart.
On one hand, he felt sorry for Ito Nanako, and on the other, he admired her character of never admitting defeat and preferring to head toward the tiger's den.
Besides that, he also felt that he had, to a certain extent, let Ito Nanako down.
Because it was he who had single-handedly pushed Qin Aoxue from a level far below Ito Nanako to a rank far exceeding her.
Now, he had healed her, which diluted that feeling of pity;
He had saved her life and allowed her strength to improve by a large margin, which also diluted that sense of guilt.
Thus, both pity and guilt were washed away, and what remained was more of an appreciation for Ito Nanako.
Therefore, Ye Chen gave her a knowing smile, revealing a row of white teeth: "Since that's the case, then I'll be going!"
"Okay!" Ito Nanako nodded heavily. Her heart was extremely sad, yet she still wore a sweet smile and said: "Ye Chen-jun, I wish you great martial success and peace and health!"
"Great martial success" (Wuyun Changlong) was an adjective that originated in China and was carried forward in Japan.
Ancient Japan respected martial arts, and the ultimate representation of martial power was the Bushido they highly revered.
Therefore, in Japanese tradition, wishing someone "great martial success" had many meanings; it was not just wishing the other party good luck, but also wishing them to be invincible, unconquerable, and unstoppable.
It could be said to be a kind of supreme blessing.
Ye Chen did not expect Ito Nanako to say the words "great martial success" to him. He was slightly stunned, then immediately cupped his fists toward her with a serious face and said loudly: "Thank you, Miss Nanako. We will meet again!"
After speaking, he looked at Nanako deeply one more time, turned around, and entered the security gate.
The moment Ye Chen turned around, Ito Nanako’s tears broke through the dam.
She looked at Ye Chen’s back, tears streaming down her face!
She really wanted to call out "Ye Chen-jun" to make him turn around so she could look at him carefully one more time.
However, she was afraid that when she called him, he would see her tear-stained face, overthink it, misunderstand, and think she was deliberately trying to let him see her without any disguise.
Therefore, she resisted the urge to call out to him, just wanting to stand there and watch him disappear through that door, and then turn and leave.
Just then, Ye Chen could not help but subconsciously turn his head to look at her.
Just one look was enough to make Ye Chen feel as if he had been struck by lightning, standing frozen in place.
He had intended to turn back and wave at her as a gesture of courtesy.
But he never expected that when he looked back, Nanako, who had been smiling just a moment ago, was now crying like a tear-stained person.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt as if the softest part of his heart had been struck. To summarize this feeling, only two words were needed: heartache!
Ito Nanako did not expect Ye Chen to look back at her again.
At this moment, as the eldest daughter of the Ito family and a Yamato Nadeshiko who had received traditional Japanese education since childhood, she finally lost all self-control.
At this moment, she lost all reason, crying as she ran toward Ye Chen, throwing herself straight into his arms and hugging him tightly.
Before Ye Chen could come to his senses, she had already gently stood on her tiptoes, taking the initiative to offer her first kiss. Those thin lips, slightly salty and cold from tears, kissed Ye Chen’s lips without hesitation...
