God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!

Chapter 1605: Chapter 480: Sakuragi Hitomi

"This afternoon, the ’major power outage disaster’ spreading all the way southeast from Jinghe District has already caused over fifty car accidents. Fortunately, there have been no casualties. Many businesses are forced to halt operations, with an estimated economic loss exceeding fifteen billion..."

"Zzz..."

"Currently, technicians have not yet discovered the exact cause of the outage. Initial speculation points to a ’collapse-style’ outage due to physical reasons..."

"Zzz..."

"..."

In Jinghe District, one ambulance after another passed by, carrying the previously unconscious employees of the Golden Lion Group, while police investigating the villa area drove towards the hospital.

At this moment, the night at Linmen was in utter chaos, all because the impressive power of the modifier had caused shocking disorder.

The entire blackout area presented a bizarrely regular fan-shaped region, naturally prompting official investigation, especially since so many Golden Lion Group employees remained unconscious on-site.

But when the police came around, they started to wonder:

Aside from those few girls, there was nothing here worth suspecting.

Yet when they asked those girls, they claimed to know nothing, and probing further...

"..."

The officers glanced at the two women standing at the villa entrance, deciding to abandon this line of questioning.

This decision was because one was the executive of Ye International’s Linmen division, and the other had close ties with Ying Country. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had previously sent word, advising caution.

"...Let’s go, check other places."

So, they could only shift their focus and investigate elsewhere.

At the scene, Sakuragi Yuri fanned herself with a folding fan, exchanging a few polite words with the confused Ye Lan.

Out of the corner of her eye, she occasionally glanced at the few girls beside her, or rather, at her own daughter, Sakuragi Hitomi.

She sat at the entrance of Ye Lan’s villa, surrounded by several women closely associated with Yan Huan...

"..."

Observing them, Sakuragi Yuri maintained her smile, though a slight shadow passed through her eyes.

"Ms. Sakuragi, is your daughter unharmed?"

"No, she’s fine."

Beside her, Ye Lan’s voice sounded, swiftly dispelling the fleeting expression in Sakuragi Yuri’s eyes as she asked,

"Where’s your Shiyu?"

Holding her phone, Ye Lan voiced her concerns,

"I can’t get in touch with her at the moment, but that child Bai Yi said she’s fine..."

"I see..."

The two mothers exchanged a few intermittent words.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere among the women seated in front of the villa was sombre.

Sakuragi Hitomi hung her head, hugging her knees, silent, her eyes slightly downcast.

Beside her, An Le and Bai Yi had things to handle.

"What? My... what happened to my dad? Say that again?!"

In front of Bai Yi, Officer Zhou, clad in a police uniform, maintained a calm expression, though his words were somewhat hesitant,

"During the yard time at the prison just now, some inmates caused a disturbance during the blackout... It originally had nothing to do with Bai Letian, but the prison was pitch black at the time, and the chaos inadvertently involved him..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s starry eyes involuntarily contracted,

"..."

"He’s currently in a coma; the infirmary couldn’t wake him, and he’s been sent to the hospital. He has no other relatives in Linmen, so I thought, should you go visit him?"

"I..."

Bai Yi, her mind a whirlwind, nodded instinctively, but couldn’t help looking back.

Thankfully, behind her, Sakuragi Hitomi, who had been hanging her head, seemed to have heard their conversation and looked up at her.

Soon after, she smiled gently and said softly,

"Go ahead, Bai Yi, I’m here."

"..."

For an unknown reason, Sakuragi Hitomi’s simple words instilled Bai Yi with great confidence, instantly calming her.

Rather than hesitating in indecision, she might as well seize the moment.

"Which hospital is my dad in? I’m heading out now."

"Alright... I drove here, let’s go."

Seated, Sakuragi Hitomi watched Bai Yi leave with residual concern, setting her hand down.

Meanwhile, she looked towards another direction.

Over there, An Le and An Bang were arguing, their precise words indistinct, though it appeared An Bang was both angry and helpless, while An Le merely averted her face...

She seemed gentle, yet possessed an unyielding resilience.

"..."

Quiet for a second, Sakuragi Hitomi stood and walked towards them.

As she drew closer, she heard their conversation with increasing clarity.

"Didn’t I tell you not to get involved with Yan Huan’s matters anymore? Why are you sneaking out again..."

"This has nothing to do with Dad... It’s my own decision."

"Do you know your mom is worried about you? During the blackout she got startled in the kitchen and fell over... Your mom’s pregnant; while I have to care for her, I also received a call from the Golden Lion Group to find you..."

"Dad, just take care of Mom; I can handle my own matters."

"You..."

Just as the argument threatened to veer off course, Sakuragi Hitomi appeared at the right moment, speaking softly,

"An Le..."

Hearing Sakuragi Hitomi’s voice, An Bang froze, then turned to see the petite yet poised girl.

The thing about temperament is hard to describe, but in any case, An Bang knew just from seeing her for the first time:

This wasn’t a child from an ordinary family.

"There shouldn’t be any more issues tonight; go back and check on your mom. Don’t let her worry. And you, make sure to rest well..."

She didn’t say much more but looked at An Le and advised.
