His gaze casually swept over the pedestrians on the street, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Just then, a heated argument broke out from ahead.
"Hideyoshi! I beg you, please stop bothering me! I've been in a bad mood lately, can you please give me some peace and quiet?!"
Yumi Miyamoto, a beautiful policewoman from the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Division, is glaring angrily at her boyfriend, Hideyoshi Haneda.
She was dressed casually today, her short hair gleaming chestnut in the sunlight, and her cheeks flushed slightly with anger.
Haneda Hideyoshi—the "Taiko Meijin" of the shogi world—seemed somewhat at a loss: "Yumi, let me explain. You haven't been talking to me since you came back recently. Tell me what the reason is!"
"Please, just leave me alone!" Yumi interrupted him, her eyes slightly red. "I've had enough!"
Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, but continued walking straight toward the two without stopping.
(This is...a very interesting scene.)
Deep within his pupils, a strange purple light quietly emerged—Demonic Eye: Bewitching Eye, activated!
"You two, it's not good to argue so early in the morning," Chen Xiao intervened at just the right moment.
Yumi and Hideyoshi were both taken aback and turned to look at him.
The moment Yumi's gaze met Chen Xiao's eyes, she trembled slightly, and her heart suddenly raced.
"Chen Xiao? You've come?" Miyamoto Yumi's body was burning hot, her eyes filled with affection and desire. She had been under the influence of the Dark Bible and could no longer live without Chen Xiao. When she saw Chen Xiao, she was completely captivated.
Her thoughts began to blur, and her anger towards Hideyoshi gradually dissipated for some reason, replaced by an indescribable flutter of emotion towards Chen Xiao.
"You are...?" Hideyoshi looked at Chen Xiao warily.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on Yumi: "Chen Xiao, a student at Soubu High School."
His fingers gently touched Yumi's shoulder, his voice like a devil's whisper: "Such a beautiful lady shouldn't be angry about something like this."
Yumi's cheeks flushed instantly, and her eyes gradually became hazy: "Chen Xiao, please don't worry about me, okay?"
Hideyoshi sensed something was wrong and reached out to pull Yumi away: "Yumi? What's wrong?"
However, Chen Xiao acted even faster. He pulled Youmei into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
"Ugh...!" Yumi's eyes widened, but her body went limp against her will, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around Chen Xiao's neck.
Hideyoshi was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale: "Yumi?! What are you doing?!"
When the kiss ended, Yumi, panting, leaned against Chen Xiao's chest, gazing at him with a dazed look. Her heart was in turmoil, yet she couldn't control her desire for Chen Xiao.
“I’m sorry, Hideyoshi…” Her voice trembled, “I… I think we should end this.”
"What?!" Hideyoshi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Yumi, what's wrong with you?! Has he controlled you?!"
Yumi shook her head, tears welling in her eyes, and said sadly, "No... it was my own choice. Ever since I came back from the school trip with Chen Xiao, I... have realized that the person I truly love is Chen Xiao."
Hideyoshi wanted to say something, but he saw Yumi take the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss Chen Xiao's lips again.
The two entwined themselves, oblivious to everyone else, as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them.
Hideyoshi clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. He stared intently at Chen Xiao, his voice low and furious: "What...did you do to her?!"
Chen Xiao, with his arm around Yumi's waist, glanced lazily at Hideyoshi: "As you can see, she chose me."
"Impossible!" Hideyoshi roared. "Yumi wouldn't do this! You must have used some tricks!"
Chen Xiao smiled dismissively: "Think what you want."
Hideyoshi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He knew that arguing now was pointless.
“Fine…very good.” He said coldly, his eyes sharp as knives. “Chen Xiao, is it? I’ll remember you.”
After saying that, he turned and left, his back stiff and resolute.
(No matter who you are... I will definitely find out!)
Yumi looked in the direction Hideyoshi had left, feeling a sharp pain in her heart, but when she looked up at Chen Xiao, that pain was overwhelmed by a surge of love.
"Chen Xiaojun..." she murmured softly, her eyes filled with infatuation and dependence.
Chen Xiao stroked her hair, a wicked smile curving his lips: "Good girl, from today onwards, you're mine. You don't need to worry about it anymore."
Yumi blushed and nodded obediently, "Mmm..."
In the distance, Asagi, hiding in a corner, silently watched all of this, her brows furrowed.
This man... is indeed extremely dangerous.
She turned and left, but a strange pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
What exactly am I concerned about?
Asagi thought of her boyfriend, Kyosuke Sawaki, and the pained expression on his face yesterday, and her heart ached as well.
Inside a luxury hotel suite.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Tokyo's night view is as dazzling as a galaxy.
Under the soft light, Yumi Miyamoto sat on the edge of the bed, her cheeks flushed with an alluring blush.
Chen Xiao stood in front of her, gently lifting her chin with his fingertips, making her look directly into his eyes.
"Afraid?" His voice was deep and seductive.
Yumi shook her head, her eyes unfocused yet resolute: "No... I just..."
Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible: "...I never thought it would be like this."
Chen Xiao chuckled softly, his fingers sliding down her neck, feeling her slightly trembling body: "Regretful?"
"No!" Yumi grabbed his wrist suddenly, her eyes shining with infatuation. "Chen Xiao, ever since I came back from Baizhuo Village, I've known that the person I like is you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept arguing with Xiuji. Now I want to be your woman."
Even if I have many women?
“I don’t mind. I know I can’t live without you anymore. These days, my feelings for you have penetrated to the bone.”
These words seemed to flip a switch; Chen Xiao's eyes darkened, and he leaned down and pressed her down onto the soft bed.
(What an obedient prey.)
Unbeknownst to her, the moment their skin touched, the power of the Dark Bible within Chen Xiao surged once more, silently intensifying his control over her.

(Psychological manipulation?) Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. (It would be quite suitable for interrogation... Of course, reading the other person's thoughts is the most important thing.)
He looked down at Yumi, who was fast asleep in his arms. The woman's face still had a satisfied blush, and a faint smile was on her lips, as if she were having a sweet dream.
Chen Xiao gently brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
(In this way, the Metropolitan Police Department also has my 'informants'.)
He got up, dressed, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city lights.
Next... it's time to deal with that 'Taiko Meijin'.
The rooftop of a high-rise building in Tokyo.
Haneda Hideyoshi stood on the edge of the rooftop, the night wind howling and ruffling his hair. His eyes were vacant, and his body swayed slightly, as if controlled by invisible threads.
(Why... am I here?)
His remaining consciousness struggled, but a voice kept echoing in his mind—
. ..... ...
Jump down...
That was the dark scripture that Chen Xiao had planted in his body, which was now coiling around his sanity like a venomous snake.
No… I can’t… Hideyoshi clutched his head in anguish, but his legs moved forward uncontrollably.
(Yumi...)
The last thing he remembered was his girlfriend's eyes, gazing at Chen Xiao with such infatuation.
(It must be that man...)
Filled with final anger and resentment, his body slumped forward—
boom!
The dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground broke the silence of the night.
Inside a luxury hotel suite.
The television news is broadcasting breaking news:
Breaking news: Shogi master Hideyoshi Haneda fell to his death from a high-rise building in Chuo Ward at 8:45 PM tonight. Police have preliminarily determined it to be a suicide…
The wine glass in Miyamoto Yumi's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the bright red wine splattered on the carpet like blood.
"Hideyoshi..." she murmured, her face pale.
Chen Xiao leaned back lazily on the sofa, turning his gaze from the television to her: "Sad?"
Yumi remained silent for a long time before finally shaking her head: "No... it's just a bit sudden."
She turned and walked towards Chen Xiao, kneeling in front of him, her eyes filled with tears as she looked up at him: "You did it, didn't you?"
Chen Xiao did not deny it, his slender fingers stroking her cheek: "If I said yes, would you hate me?"
Yumi's tears fell, but she revealed a poignant smile: "You've done so many bad things... and I haven't arrested you."
She grasped Chen Xiao's hand and pressed it against her damp cheek: "Because I love you more than anything."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes, which quickly turned into a playful smile: "Even if I killed your ex-boyfriend?"
"I beg you..." Yumi's voice trembled, "Please don't hurt the people around me again... I'm begging you..."
Her tears fell onto the back of Chen Xiao's hand, hot and fragile.
Chen Xiao gazed at her for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and pulled her into his arms: "Okay, I promise you."
