Zhao Yao and Baiquan exchanged glances
”What's wrong? Are you facing some kind of trouble?” Zhao Yao asked point-blank
Hanako laughed, but there was no joy in her voiceWhen she spoke, she did so gently
”To be honest, I really like ChinaThere's just so about the Chinese that's specialYou have so y and enthusiasm and you're free to be exactly who you areUnfortunately, I don't think I can return to China”
”Huh?” Zhao Yao wondered aloud, ”Weren't you pursuing yourto finish it?”

The man was Katsuhira Hattori's father, Aoyaeneral of the japanese police force
