Chapter 777: Chapter 469: The case is filed, we’re going to be investigated!

The one knocking on the door was Elijah Hastings. When Sean Knight opened the door, he saw Elijah with several shopping bags outside the door.

"Why didn’t you just bring them over?" Sean knew from the bags that they were the clothes Elijah had bought for Monica Reed, and they looked quite high-end.

"It’s not appropriate for me to do it alone," Elijah said with some difficulty. "Boss, shall we go together?"

Fine, at least he knows to avoid suspicion.

Sean knew that Elijah definitely had no feelings for Monica Reed, just treating her purely like a younger compatriot sister. His sympathy was overflowing.

"Alright, let’s go." Sean didn’t say more, and neither he nor Elijah were fond of joking around.

They knocked on Monica’s door. After a while, the door opened.

Monica peeked her head out, and they could see that the hook lock behind the door was still attached.

Seeing Sean and Elijah, she smiled.

It was only then that Sean saw that she was a thin, weak little girl, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old based on her appearance and body shape.

Her uncle probably hadn’t fed her well in the past five years.

Her appearance was rather delicate, truly living up to her name.

Opening the door, Monica said,

"Big brother Sean, Mr. Hastings, please come in."

"No need," Sean replied, looking towards Elijah. "Elijah got you some clothes, try them on."

"You try them first, and we’ll come back later. If they don’t fit, I’ll exchange them," Elijah handed the clothes to Monica.

"Thank you..." Monica’s eyes reddened.

"Alright, go try them on. Later we’ll go out to eat."

All three of them hadn’t eaten since coming here, and Sean knew the young girl must be hungry.

They let Monica close the door. Sean went back to his room, and Elijah followed him.

"Boss, it won’t be easy to get her away, right?"

"Hmm, but it’s fine," Sean replied. Since he had already promised, he wouldn’t give up. "We’ll drive to Tokyo tomorrow and leave by plane from there. Let Charles Young wait at the airport, and we’ll see if there’s a way to get her directly on the plane."

"If we can find her aunt back home, that would be great; if not..." Elijah started to worry about Monica’s future.

"There is no ’if not.’ If we can’t find her, let her go to Big Island. There is no problem supporting her on such a big island."

Hearing Sean say this, Elijah’s mind was put at ease.

Since they rescued her, Chinese people believe in saving people to the end, sending the Buddha to the West (meaning helping others all the way).

If they saved Monica and brought her back home only for her life to not be as good as it was in Kumamoto, wouldn’t that be causing harm?

Now that Sean already had a complete plan, Elijah truly felt relieved.

Not long after, Monica came out of the room. She saw that the door of Sean’s room was open, and Sean and Elijah were chatting inside, so she walked over.

Hearing the footsteps, Sean looked back and saw that Monica had changed into a T-shirt and jeans, but they were all large sizes.

Although they were large, they looked like something young people would wear to be quirky, without feeling strange.

Monica, thin and frail, tied her hair up with a headscarf, revealing her small, palm-sized face. She looked like a rebellious middle school student, but the timid look in her eyes made Sean and Elijah feel heartache.

"Pretty good-looking." Sean nodded and said, "Alright, let’s go. Let’s go out to eat. You must be tired of eating in the restaurant, right? Today, let’s eat something else."

As the three of them left, Sean asked Monica what she liked to eat.

"Anything is fine," Monica’s words made Sean more convinced that this girl probably didn’t receive good treatment at her uncle’s house.

"Don’t be shy. Just treat us as your older brothers," Sean encouraged. "Think about it, we’re all compatriots now. Outside, we are our own people, so don’t be polite with your own people. This meal will be a celebration of your new life. Think about what you like to eat?"

"Sea... seafood," Monica saw that Sean was sincere, so she lowered her head to think for a moment before raising her head and saying, "I remember when I was little, my dad would take me and my mom to eat seafood every week..."

"Easy!" Sean laughed. "This is too easy to satisfy." They had already gone downstairs, so they asked the receptionist for advice.

The receptionist recommended a place to them and even helped them call a car.

They went to a seafood buffet restaurant, which was more upscale. According to the receptionist, they had a bluefin tuna prepared on site for sashimi every week, and today happened to be the day for that.

Sean and Elijah took Monica to the place, found a seat, and realized that there were indeed many people there. Many of them were not eating but looking around instead.

"Let’s fill our stomachs first, and then taste the tuna later," Sean led Monica around for a tour, then let her choose what to eat herself.

At first, Monica was a bit shy, but she gradually let loose and started picking and choosing with a smile on her face.

Sean and Elijah saw this and laughed as well.

It was worth rescuing their compatriot sister this time.

Soon, the noise in the restaurant grew louder, and Sean wondered if those noisy people from home had come over. Didn’t they say that people here have high quality and don’t speak loudly in restaurants? Weren’t they all still loud and happy now?

He guessed that the main attraction must be coming out.

Sure enough, a cook in a white hat pushed out a stainless steel cart. On top was a layer of ice, and inside was a bluefin tuna over a meter long.

Many people started cheering.

Sean didn’t cheer, to tell the truth. He hadn’t really eaten tuna this big before. He had seen it underwater, but never caught it. The fish is too fast and quite ferocious.
