In the depths of the forest, there was a shabby cabin built on the edge of a cliff.

In front of the cabin was a yard of about a hundred square meters. It was overgrown with weeds, as if no one had taken care of it for years.

The information came too easily. Ando and the others didn't dare to be careless. They mobilized all the cells in their body to pay attention to their surroundings.

"Let's go in."

Yin Shi said and took the lead to rush into the courtyard. The rest of the people followed closely behind.

The enemy they imagined didn't appear. Other than the creaking sound of Gintoki kicking open the wooden door, the cabin was eerily quiet.

Gintoki grabbed Toyako tightly, glanced at everyone, and stepped into the hall.

Did all six of them fall for that coward's trick?

Ando was a little confused. Gintoki said again, "There are three rooms here. Let's split up and search."

Okita automatically stood next to Ando, and the other four also formed a team.

Katsura and Gintoki went into the room on the left, Kagura and Shinbachi went to the right, and Okita held Ando's hand, and the two walked forward together.

The room wasn't big. The sun shone through the broken paper window to the ground, and a lot of dust particles floated in the light.

A moldy and damp smell penetrated their noses, and Ando couldn't help but frown.

There were a lot of blackened farm tools in the room, and in addition, there was a huge box.

"Okita -senpai." Ando looked at him and called out softly. The latter walked towards the box.

"Dong dong." Just then, a sound came from the box.

"Okita -senpai!"

Ando stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, stopping him.

"Caution is the parent of safety."

She picked up the bamboo pole that was placed against the wall and carefully removed the lock on the box. She then used the bamboo pole to prop the box open.

She stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look inside. A woman with brown hair and a red kimono was struggling.

"Miss Tea?"

She was a little surprised. She didn't expect to be hidden in a box.

However, it was good enough that she found her.

"I found Sister Miao!"

She shouted and excitedly walked to the box to help her untie the rope. Gintoki and the other three just happened to come in.

"Sister!" Shinbachi cried tears of joy. Tea rushed over and hugged him.

Kagura looked at Sister Miao, unable to conceal the joy on her face. Gintoki stood at the side, smiling in relief.

It was great to have a family reunion.

Ando looked at them and felt warm inside.

He only hoped that their director would come back as soon as possible.

"Be careful!"

Ando stared blankly at Okita who was rushing towards her. By the time she reacted, she had already fallen into Okita's arms, and the two of them rolled down the cliff together.

There was a bomb hidden under the big box. The moment Okita said "be careful", the bomb exploded.

This was a trap.

As long as someone rescued Tea, the pressure on the bomb would disappear and it would trigger the detonation of the bomb.

They were immersed in the joy of saving someone and didn't notice the potential danger at all.

Ando closed her eyes and sighed that she was able to remain calm and think about the reason at such a critical moment. It seemed that she had accumulated a lot of experience in Shinsengumi.

"Yumi, wake up!"

Just as she was about to open her eyes, she heard Okita's mysterious voice.

It wasn't the voice of someone who was just watching the show lazily. It was a voice of urgency and concern.

Ah, it sounded so good.

Her eyelashes fluttered and she closed her eyes tightly.

"Yumi!"

He pulled her into his arms and stroked her cheek.

She really wanted to see his anxious face.

Ando's heart was itching, but she didn't want to open her eyes.

She still remembered how he tricked her last time. Although she didn't want to argue with him, she still had a chance to return the favor.

"Nothing can happen to you. I still have a secret to tell you."

Secret?

Was he going to confess?

Ando pricked up her ears and her heartbeat sped up.

She felt Okita's lips next to her ear and his warm breath stimulated her sensory nerves.

She couldn't help but swallow and focus all her attention on her hearing.

"Your underwear is exposed."

Ando blushed and jumped out of his arms. She looked down at her uniform pants. Other than some dirt, there was no damage at all.

And the culprit was standing with his arms crossed and looking at her with a casual smile.

Why was he so hard to fool? Why was he so good at lying?

Ando stared at him helplessly, but the latter smiled even more happily.

"Seeing how agile you are, you shouldn't be hurt."

"No, I'm hurt."

Ando looked at him pitifully and said.

"Where are you hurt?" Okita stopped smiling and walked to her side to examine her carefully.

"My young heart is hurt."

Seeing his concerned eyes, Ando felt even more wronged and her eyes were filled with a pitiful light.

He leaned over and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, then looked at her with a gentle expression and said, "Is your injury better now?"

Ando only felt that her heart was about to melt. Wasn't this guy a pure theoretical little boy? Why was he so good at flirting?

"Yes, yes!" She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Miss Ando, don't be fooled by Okita -san. He was the most popular cowherd in Takama-ga-hara!" Shinbachi appeared at the wrong time and interrupted Okita and Ando's pink bubble.

He still thought that Ando was the next Xiao Li, so when he saw this scene, he didn't care about his own safety and came to stop it.

"Cowherd?"

Ando turned to look at Okita. With his face and superb skills, he must be very popular as a cowherd. No, didn't he come from Wuzhou to Edo to be a police officer? How could he have been a cowherd?

"No," Okita replied calmly, then he stared at Shinbachi with a rather evil smile.

"It, it's just a task. Okita -san is clean, young, and law-abiding. He's a very good person!" Shinbachi immediately gave in.

"If there's nothing else, let's go back."

Gintoki was carrying the unconscious Tea on his back, Kagura was standing next to him, and Gui was nowhere to be seen.

Presumably, he had completed his mission and left to avoid meeting Okita Soki again.

Ando was about to nod when she saw a familiar dark green button on Tea's sleeve.

She quickly walked a few steps and grabbed the button. "This button, is it Miss Tea's?"

Shinpachi leaned forward to take a look and shook his head.

Ando took out the button she picked up in the abandoned factory from her pocket and compared it with Tea's. They were almost identical.

It wasn't sewn with a needle and thread, but glued on.

Ando took the button from Tea's sleeve and held it in her hand, slightly stunned.

The same button, what did it mean?

"This button was also on one of the people who assassinated Kondo." Okita just glanced at it and said lightly.

"Was it on the person who was extremely fast and attacked you from behind?" Ando asked, "And the four people who surrounded you also had it, right?"

Okita nodded.

"So, is it related to him?"

The "him" Ando was referring to was naturally Masahiro Ando.

If Okita didn't know this beforehand, he wouldn't have wanted to separate himself from the case at that time.

Okita nodded again.

"That may be a bit willful, but I want to arrest him myself." Ando bit her lip. She really wanted to ask him, "Do you still remember the family rules of Ando?"

"I'll accompany you."
