At this point, Tadashi said, "Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't have clear evidence before I informed Akiko about this. As an apology, may I invite two pretty police girls to dinner, okay?"

Tadashi said this while smiling like warm sunshine. Akiko nodded and smiled: "Okay..."

"Sorry." Suddenly, Laylah interrupted Akiko's words: "We're on a mission, so we can't accept your invitation."

"Ah.." Akiko glanced at Laylah and then back at Tadashi with a look of guilt in her eyes.

"Hahahaha.. it's okay, the mission has to come first, I understand that." Tadashi smiled and said, "If you need anything, just tell me, and I will try to help you."

At this point, Laylah just smiled and replied, "Of course. Tadashi, you are such an enthusiastic citizen. I really hope every citizen is like you, if every citizen is like you, this city will be more peaceful."

"Hahaha.. Laylah, don't overestimate me, If you do, I may become arrogant." Tadashi laughed.

He then sent Laylah and Akiko out, and after seeing them get into the police car and leave, Tadashi's gaze immediately changed.

His gaze was no longer cheerful or warm, his eyes were filled with so much cold that anyone who saw them would feel fear.

"Bevi.. you will pay the price.."

..

In the car, Laylah drove, and Akiko sat in the co-driver's seat. Laylah now sighed and said, "Akiko, you have to tell me the truth.. you and Tadashi are dating, right?"

"Heh?! We are not! There is no such thing." Akiko was startled. She immediately protested, but her face was a little red.

Laylah glanced at Akiko, then sighed and said, "Akiko, I have not forbidden you from falling in love with anyone, I just need you to work fairly."

"But.." Akiko explained, "My intuition says that Tadashi is telling the truth. Hikaru is dangerous, maybe he really has a gun."

"Besides.. Did you see that thug just now?"

"You mean Bevi? He is no ordinary thug, according to the information I have seen, he is the boss of a criminal gang." Layla said.

Akiko spoke her mind: "Then Hikaru is even more suspicious. Bevi's actions seem to be protecting Hikaru, why is he protecting Hikaru?"

"How can a normal person know someone like Bevi?"

"There is only one conclusion. Hikaru is also a criminal, and we need to arrest him urgently."

When Laylah heard that, she sighed and said: "Haizzz, even if all your speculation is true, we still can't arrest Hikaru."

"You should remember, we don't work by intuition but by the rules. We need solid evidence and witnesses."

"Besides.. when Bevi left, didn't you hear what he said?"

"I.. of course, heard." At this point, Akiko faltered a bit.

Laylah smiled and said, "It seems that your lover is not as pure as you think. He also knew Bevi, and they did a lot of bad things."

"Impossible!" Akiko suddenly shouted, "Tadashi is not that kind of person. Surely that bastard Bevi is trying to do this to divide us internally."

Laylah frowned: "Akiko, Tadashi is neither our ally nor our colleague. There's no need for Bevi to lie."historical

"But.. Tadashi is definitely not that kind of person. He.." Akiko wanted to explain more, but Laylah cut her off.

"Okay, I get it." Layla sighed. She didn't understand what Akiko was thinking anymore, it seemed that Akiko was extremely biased towards Tadashi.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Laylah felt that Akiko's IQ dropped significantly when they were talking about Tadashi.

"Akiko, I will say it again. I don't care if you love Tadashi or anyone else, I just want you to be fair in your work, that's enough."

Akiko bit her lip and nodded. She then said: "Laylah, don't you hate Hikaru?"

"Why should I hate him?" Laylah, who was puzzled, asked.

"Because.. he relies on his family's power and money. He is arrogant, and he also threatens others.."

Laylah smiled and said, "Akiko, you have a family too, right?"

Akiko nodded.

Laylah continued, "Although I don't know what your family is like, maybe your family isn't normal either."

"I just wanted to tell you that.. Akiko, you're alive until now thanks to your family, you understand."

"Impossible!" Akiko immediately countered: "I entered Team 7 without asking for help from my family, I also..."

Laylah shook her head and said, "Do you think with the way you work, Team 7 will keep you?"

Akiko was startled. She seemed to realise something, so she silently lowered her head.

"Akiko, if it weren't for your family's protection, I'm afraid the trouble you caused would have been enough for you to disappear from this city."

"We cannot deny that the world is not fair. You can rely on your family, so why can't he?"

"But.. I don't need.." Akiko tried to retort.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

Laylah shook her head and sighed: "Even if you don't need it, your family still silently helps you. Akiko, you should remember that without your family, you are nothing."

Akiko just nodded silently.

Laylah continued: "Although Hikaru relies on his family, he has never done anything terrible."

"He has never raped any girl, stolen anything, or killed someone."

"The times you brought Hikaru back to the police station were all your subjective opinions. Those crimes only need to be administratively fined."

"But he never took revenge on you, Akiko. With the power of Hikaru's clan, he could easily take revenge on you, but he didn't."

"Perhaps it's because your family protects you, or he doesn't want to."

Akiko clenched her teeth, her face filled with disapproval: "No way, how can he mess with a policeman."

"Hahaha.. Akiko, your words are full of contradictions." Layla laughed.

"Why?"

"Because you just said that he wouldn't dare mess with a policeman. But you think that he would dare to use a gun to injure other people. Wouldn't that be a contradiction?"

Akiko was stunned when she heard that, and then she bit her lip silently.

"You're a policeman, don't let your emotions dictate your decisions and conclusions."

Hearing that, Akiko sighed and said, "I understand."

Laylah smiled and explained, "I said so much just for your own good. If I didn't care about you, there's no need for me to say this much."

Akiko smiled and said, "Hehehe.. I know. Laylah, thank you. You are always gentle with people. In Team 7, you're like an older sister."

"Hahahaha.. don't think about me like that."

"No, I'm telling the truth. Laylah, do you have a lover?"

Laylah shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it for the time being."

"So.. what do you think of Tadashi?"

Laylah frowned upon hearing that: "Why him?"

Akiko smiled and said, "Because I feel that he is very reliable, rich, successful, and also very kind."

"Is that so.." Laylah smiled: "I'll think about that later. How about you? Don't you like Tadashi?"

"Hm.. secret, hehehe.."

Laylah just sighed and said nothing. She, of course, knew what Akiko was thinking. Anyway, Laylah had been a police officer for more than 8 years, so her gaze and intuition were extremely accurate.

Of course, at the hospital, Laylah also realised that Tadashi's eyes weren't the same as those of a good person.

Laylah could easily see that Tadashi's eyes were filled with lust, greed, and possessiveness.

His gaze made her feel nauseous. No matter how well a person hides or controls them, their eyes will show all their thoughts.

"So.. Laylah, are we meeting Hikaru now? I want to meet him for questioning."

When Laylah heard that, she shook her head and sighed: "Akiko, we met him only for information, not for interrogation. Currently, Hikaru is not a criminal."

Akiko pouted, and she felt extremely disappointed upon hearing that.

"But there is one thing I need to tell you. Hikaru has given up the inheritance, Hodai's heir is now Tadashi."

"What? Laylah, are you mistaken? Hikaru himself gave up his inheritance? Is he crazy?"

Laylah nodded: "I don't understand either. With Hikaru's personality, he should have been fighting for the inheritance, but the truth is different."

"Just now, Hodai himself announced that Hikaru had renounced his inheritance, therefore, Tadashi will become Hodai's heir."

Akiko's face was filled with disbelief, she said: "No way, maybe Hikaru is plotting something very evil, and terrible. He can't do that."

"Haizzz, Akiko, is your instinct to hate Hikaru? When he was fighting for the legal inheritance, you said he was greedy. Now that he has renounced his birthright, you say he has another evil plot. After all, what did he do to make you hate him so much?"

Akiko blushed upon hearing that. She also didn't understand why, when she thought of Hikaru, she just thought he was a bad guy.

"Sorry.. I don't understand why either."

Laylah shook his head and said, "You're right, we should also look for Hikaru to get more information. However, since you have a prejudice against him, I'll be the one to talk to Hikaru, okay?"

Although Akiko didn't want to, she still tried to nod her head: "Okay.. but.. Laylah, you have to be careful. He is not.."

"I know! He's not a good guy, is he? Alright, don't worry. It's dark now, I'll see him tomorrow."

"Besides... he left Hodai's family, where he is now is a mystery."
