"Ding!"
As the elevator bell rang, the elevator doors opened to both sides.
In the deep and dark corridor outside the door, a maid stood outside the door, looking respectfully at the people in the elevator.
In other words, he should be looking at Yusaku Kudo among the crowd.
"Mr. Kudo, Master Rui is already waiting for you. Please come with me."
After the maid finished speaking, she made a gesture of invitation and then turned around and left. She neither gave Yusaku Kudo time to answer nor looked at the FBI.
"Yes." Kudo Yusaku responded softly and followed.
Behind him, Michael and a group of FBI agents also walked out of the elevator.
"Look, this is a rich family."
After walking out of the elevator, Michael curled his lips and said in a low voice to a detective next to him.
"You don't even look at us, even the servants are so arrogant."
"Captain, please keep your voice down, don't let her hear..." the agent whispered back.
"Know."
This floor of the hospital was quite quiet. After the two men finished their low-pitched conversation, the only sound of people's footsteps could be heard in the entire corridor.
As the maid walked forward, Michael did not forget his duties. When passing by several wards, he also took a proper look into these wards from the visiting window.
There are sleeping patients in some wards, and patients in other wards are communicating with medical staff, and everything seems normal.
Except for being a little too quiet, the situation here is no different from other hospitals.
But this is understandable. After all, the eldest son of the Karasuma Group lives on this floor. Maybe he just likes to be quieter?
Although Michael was not sure about the relationship between Kudo Yusaku and the eldest son of the Karasuma family, his years of professionalism still made him think back to Kudo Yusaku's previous words in the elevator, "Check the other wards." coming.
If, he means if.
If the eldest son of the Karasuma family wants to ambush someone to deal with Kudo Yusaku, placing people in other wards on this floor is indeed the top priority.
It's just that it's just a somewhat famous family. Is it necessary to engage in such a battle?
Although Kudo Yusaku has many connections and a lot of energy, Michael believes that the Karasuma family definitely has far greater energy than Kudo Yusaku in the United States.
Is it really necessary for such a behemoth to target a family like this?
"please wait."
Just when Michael was slightly distracted, the maid walking at the front suddenly stopped.
At this time, everyone has arrived in front of a ward. From the outside, this ward is no different from other wards on this floor. They all have the same door and the same viewing window.
The only difference was that the maid became more respectful.
She stood in front of the door, leaning sideways, not even daring to look inside through the viewing window on the door. She just raised her hand and knocked on the door twice, and then said:
"Master Rui, Mr. Kudo is here."
"Let him in."
Soon, there was a response from the door. It was a male voice. It didn't sound rough, but very gentle.
"yes."
When the maid heard the sound, she finally stretched out her hand to open the door halfway, then turned to look at Kudo Yusaku who was standing behind her, and made another invitation gesture with her hand.
"Mr. Kudo, please come in."
"Um."
Nodding his head, Kudo Yusaku walked straight in.
Michael, who was following him, originally wanted to go in and take a look, but was stopped by the maid in front of the door.
"I am here to be responsible for Mr. Kudo's personal safety."
Quite unhappy, Michael gestured to his FBI ID.
However, the maid didn't take his advice at all. After she closed the door gently, she raised her head, finally looked at Michael for the first time, and said expressionlessly:
"This is a hospital of the Karasuma Group, and we will naturally protect Mr. Kudo's personal safety.
Master Rui and Mr. Kudo have important things to discuss next, so please wait elsewhere. "
A simple translation of this sentence is, this is the territory of the Karasuma family. The certificate in your hand is not worth it. Go away and stay here. Don't hang around here.
Michael was almost furious, but he didn't dare show it obviously.
Of course he was not afraid of the maid in front of him, but she was just a little woman. He could knock her out with two slaps.
What really made Michael maintain restraint was the Karasuma Group represented behind the maid in front of him.
In the American empire, these big plutocratic families don’t just make money. They really have extraordinary energy and influence in the political circles of the American empire. They are not an ordinary FBI agent like Michael with no background at all. The detective can afford to offend.
Not to mention him, even if his superior came over and faced this maid's strange aura, he probably wouldn't be any tougher than him.
If Michael really dares to get angry here, the maid and the young man in the room will add some extra words later.
By then, Michael suspected that he might be fired on the spot early tomorrow morning for the ridiculous reason of "stepping into the headquarters building with his left foot first."
This is not a joke, it is really possible, and the possibility is not small.
After working in the FBI for so many years, Michael, who has already developed a "sophisticated" personality, doesn't want to take such a risk...
Won't let me in?
Then don't go in. I didn't say you had to go in...
Just like that, Michael stuffed his ID back in smoothly.
Of course, although he is worried about the Karasuma Group, Michael still has the most basic professional qualities.
If the hard one doesn't work, then go for the soft one. If the direct one doesn't work, then go for a roundabout way...
Instantly switching to a smiling face, Michael seemed unable to see the cold expression on the maid's face, and smiled cheerfully at her:
"I'm sorry, Miss Maid, I was reckless just now. I apologize to you and the eldest gentleman in the room..."
First he sincerely and actively admitted his mistake, and then he quickly changed to an embarrassed expression, and said in a consulting tone, pleadingly:
"But Miss Maid, you see, we have also been ordered by our superiors to follow Mr. Kudo to protect him personally. Of course, I also know that the eldest son is not in good health. It is really not good for us to go in with a group of people like us.
Look, otherwise, we won't go into the eldest son's room. Just ask me to leave two people standing at the door. Just so you know, we can report to our superiors when we go back. How about that? "
