    A sudden wind is coming, a secret message is coming

    Rum’s naked threatening phone call was like a piece of ice hitting the remaining peace in the house.The gentleness and stability in the morning light dissipated instantly, leaving only a heavy sense of oppression, slowly condensing in the air.

    Akai Shuichi was still holding the silent cell phone, his knuckles turning slightly white.Underneath the calmness in his eyes, there was a surge of sharpness and tension—Rum did not test or plan this time, and directly aimed the blade at his weakest point.

    Gin always held his hand firmly, and the temperature in the palm was steady and hot, like a light that would not go out, firmly supporting all his surging emotions.He didn’t say any more words of comfort, he just stayed with her quietly, telling Shuichi Akai in the most silent way: He was never alone.

    The changing of the guard of the FBI agents downstairs was still regular, and the vigilance was not relaxed at all, but none of them knew that the room had just experienced a declaration of war from the highest level of the organization.

    Akai Shuichi exhaled slowly, and his eyes regained their former sharpness: “Since he dares to show his cards directly, it means that he has laid out a plan and is waiting for us to reveal our flaws.”

    “He will set up his plan, and we will destroy our way.” Gin’s tone was cold, but extremely firm, “All my secret lines in Tokyo have been activated. Any informants who are close to the Akai family will be cleared immediately.”

    Akai Shuichi turned to look at him, his heart sinking slightly: “If you fully use the hidden line like this, you will have no way out in the organization.”

    “I already gave up my retreat when I chose you.” Gin met his gaze, straightforward and magnanimous, “The only thing I want to protect now is you and the people you care about.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a very light and very rhythmic knocking from the direction of the door, three short and one long.

    It was not a reckless knock on the door, nor a report from an agent, but a unique code between Shuichi Akai and Conan.

    They both looked up at the same time.

    Akai Shuichi nodded slightly, and Gin calmly retreated to the side, remaining alert but not revealing his figure.

    Akai Shuichi walked slowly to the door and lowered his voice to confirm: “Who?”

    “Mr. Shuichi, it’s me.” Conan’s low, steady teenage voice came from outside the door, “Sister Judy asked me to come up. I intercepted Rum’s action order.”

    Akai Shuichi opened the door lightly.

    Conan was dressed in daily attire, holding a tablet in his hand and looking solemn.He obtained Judy’s internal permission in advance and entered the safe house in the name of “assisting the FBI in analyzing intelligence.” He avoided irrelevant personnel throughout the process, did not alert any guards, and did not expose Gin’s existence.

    After entering, Conan quickly closed the door and lowered his voice immediately: “Mr. Shuichi, Rum has just issued a secret order – he has locked the locations of Aunt Mary and Hideyoshi’s brother. In three days, he will take action outside Hideyoshi’s shogi competition, disguise it as an accident, and force you to show up.”

    Akai Shuichi’s face suddenly darkened.

    Just as he expected, Rum’s target was his family from beginning to end.

    Gin walked out from the side, with a hint of hostility around him, and his tone was bone-chilling: “If he dares to touch the Akai family, I will make sure he never comes back.”

    Conan was not afraid at all. He just pushed up his glasses and added very quickly: “Rum used all the people hidden in Tokyo this time and divided them into two groups. One group was watching the mother, and the other group was surrounding the arena. He was sure that you would definitely appear, and he was also sure that you would risk everything for your family.”

    The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely tense.

    The morning light is still bright, but the undercurrent has broken through the water, and a sudden wind is coming.

    Akai Shuichi suppressed the anger in his heart and thought quickly: “We can’t force it, and we can’t let it go. Hideyoshi’s game cannot be canceled, otherwise it will alert the snake; the mother’s side cannot be forced to move, as it will directly expose the route.”

    “Then face him head-on.” Gin took a step forward and held his wrist with a firm gaze, “You hold your family steady while I clean up the hidden stakes. You are in the light and I am in the dark. Rum wants to set up a trap, so we will completely overturn his trap.”

    Conan nodded in agreement: “I will let Dr. Ali monitor the organization’s signals throughout the process, and Mr. Wuwu will also cooperate in secret. If the three of us join forces, Rum will not be able to take advantage.”

    Akai Shuichi looked at the two people standing side by side in front of him, and the long-term tension in his heart slowly melted away.

    Once he walked into the darkness alone and shouldered everything alone;

    Now there are people who stand by his side, who protect him, and who understand all his silence and persistence.

    He raised his eyes, looked deeply into Gin’s eyes, and softly uttered one word:

    “Okay.”

    Fight together.

    This time, I am no longer alone in danger, no longer in a dilemma.

    If Rum wanted a storm, they would calm it down with their own hands.
