In the consultation room, the boss anxiously looked at Kohinata Kaori, waiting for her to diagnose the results of his follow-up check-up.
"Doctor, I should be alright now, shouldn't I?" Seeing that Kohinata Kaori remained silent for quite so ti, just flipping through his dical results with a serious expression, the boss couldn't help feeling a bit anxious.
It wasn't that he feared death; for the boss, the possibility of seeing his daughter after death ant he had beco quite indifferent to life and death.
But, faced with the grim expression of the doctor in the hospital, he was still sowhat nervous, and furthermore, if he could live a few more years, who wouldn't want that?
Questioned by the boss, Kohinata Kaori finally raised her head and said, "According to the examination results, the wound from your surgery has healed very well, and you have completely recovered. Moreover, we didn't find any tumor cells in other parts of your body, so as long as you pay attention to a healthy diet and maintain good lifestyle habits, it is basically unlikely to recur."
"That's great! Thank you, doctor! I can finally rest assured," the boss sighed with relief, his mind which had been suspended for over a month, finally at ease.
Minami, who was at his side, also felt extrely relieved and quickly bowed to Kohinata Kaori, expressing thanks: "Thank you so much, Doctor Kohinata! If it wasn't for you insisting on Uncle coming to the hospital for the check-up, we wouldn't have discovered that he had cancer, and you even cured him, I really don't know what to say! Thank you so much!"
"Don't ntion it, this is my duty as a doctor," Kohinata Kaori shook her head, showing no sign of pride from Minami's gratitude.
However, thinking about how Minami refused several invitations to go shopping, Kohinata Kaori took the opportunity to say, "But, Minami, if you really want to thank , co and go shopping with tomorrow!"
"Shopping? But tomorrow I still need to take care of my uncle, I..." Minami had not expected Kohinata Kaori to say this, leaving her sowhat at a loss. In fact, she was keen to go but was hindered by so unspeakable reasons, so she could only look towards the boss for help.
However, the boss also felt sympathetic towards his niece, hoping she could enjoy outings and fun with friends like other ordinary girls, and thus directly said, "Since Doctor Kohinata invited you, you should go, Minami. Tomorrow just happens to be a slow day at the shop, and you haven't really had fun since you ca to Tokyo, have you?"
Saying this, the boss also turned to Kohinata Kaori, entrusting her with: "Doctor Kohinata, my niece has been in Tokyo for so ti and hasn't really gone out much, with just old clothes brought from ho, and as a man, I don't know what kind of clothes girls like these days. Could I ask you to take her out shopping tomorrow and maybe help her buy a few pieces of clothing?"
"Of course, I can do that. Leave it to !" Kohinata Kaori replied with a smile.
Minami was still a bit worried, but at that mont, it was not appropriate to object, so she compliantly agreed: "Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Kohinata."
"It's no trouble at all; it was my invitation to go out, after all," Kohinata Kaori patted her chest and laughed nonchalantly.
————————————————————
Kohinata Kaori's invitation to Minami to go shopping naturally fell within the surveillance range of the tropolitan Police Departnt.
However, for the agents monitoring Minami, the nearly two months of continuous observation had left them sowhat numb and slack.
After all, keeping an eye on a young girl working every day at a small restaurant, with a daily routine more punctual than an alarm clock, and who hardly ever left the restaurant, was really enough to numb and tire the agents over ti.
While they had experience in long-term surveillance of suspects before, Minami's lack of significant activities was unprecedented.
For these agents, it was like serving a hard sentence — two months of surveillance and Minami's life had not changed at all, with her only outings being to accompany the boss for dical check-ups and surgery.
Two months of staring at a small shop that could be taken in at a glance without any discernible action left the team feeling like they were turning into salted fish.
Yet, they could not afford to relax, as their superiors constantly reminded them of the potential dangers of unexpected events, without actually telling them why, which only added to the agents' frustration.
The prospect of Minami finally agreeing to go out shopping undoubtedly brought a long-missed change to these watchers, as the monotonous surveillance of the past two months finally had sothing different.
They quickly reported this developnt and also hurried to formulate a plan of action; after monitoring for two months, they could finally get moving, which gave everyone on the team a sigh of relief.
At the sa ti, they couldn't help but envy their colleagues monitoring Inomata Naoki, who had a much more comfortable assignnt than watching Minami.
Though Inomata Naoki's daily life was simple, working at the ranch, at least he wasn't like Minami, staying in the sa place for two months without stepping out.
During those two months, because of his acquaintance with Tokairin Yūko, Inomata Naoki still ca to Tokyo every weekend and had dates with Tokairin Yūko.
Every date ant a major operation for the team monitoring Inomata Naoki, involving full surveillance, action arrangent, and plan formulation... Their days could be said to be extrely busy, which made the team surveilling Minami enviously wish for sothing to do other than just staring blankly at the small shop all day!
Thankfully, it was finally their turn to take action.
With this mindset, the whole team was brimming with enthusiasm and eager to excel.
Although they didn't know what practical benefit good performance could bring, after being idle for two months, the elite squad from the tropolitan Police Departnt was instinctively eager to demonstrate their capability, hoping to prove to their leaders they were not just idlers.
What the mbers of this operation team didn't know was that, as they were preparing for Minami and Kohinata Kaori's scheduled shopping trip, the other team monitoring Inomata Naoki was also preparing their action plan because Inomata Naoki was coming to Tokyo again and had arranged to dine with Tokairin Yūko.
Both operation teams were making intensive preparations, unaware of each other's activities.
