It's been more than half a year since they entered SAO, and Asuna and the other Players have been sleeping in the real world. Although some of the Players' parents and family members didn't believe in the so-called death game and took off the Players' helmets without permission, causing them to die tragically.
Because of these ready-made examples, the Japanese government attached great importance to the safety of the Players, so they sent all the Players to the hospital for intensive care. But even so, there were still differences in the care given to the Players.
For example, in the original anime, when Kirito and Asuna woke up from the game, Kirito was so skinny that his bones could be seen, but Asuna, who was in the other room, was still as beautiful as ever. Of course, it wasn't because of her physical fitness, but because of her ability.
For people like Kirito who came from an ordinary family, even if he could stay in the hospital for free, he obviously wouldn't receive the same treatment as Asuna, who was in a coma. Maybe even the hospital that Kirito stayed in was owned by the Jicheng Group, so the hospital would naturally take good care of people like Asuna.
Aside from the fact that the nutrient solution to maintain her life was of the highest quality, she also had to wipe her body twice a day and move her limbs twice a day. So even after half a year, Asuna didn't smell bad because she didn't take a shower.
However, it was common knowledge that people who stayed in the hospital for a long time and only relied on fluids to maintain their bodily functions would more or less have the smell of drugs on them. Tang Hao's nose was sharper than a dog's, so the smell was particularly obvious.
So, despite Asuna's resistance, Tang Hao carried her to the bathroom and took the initiative to wash off the smell of drugs on her body.
This was the advantage of a luxurious hospital room. It had all the necessary daily necessities, which really saved some trouble.
When Asuna was washing her body, she obviously wasn't used to it. Her whole body was stiff like a steam engine. It took a while before Tang Hao finished scrubbing her body clean.
"Mhmm, it's okay now. The smell of drugs is almost gone." Seeing Asuna put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom, Tang Hao smiled and nodded. "Move your limbs a little and see if there's any problem."
Asuna stretched her arms and walked back and forth in the room. The sluggish feeling in her body seemed to have completely disappeared. She didn't feel the slightest inconvenience at all.
"Thank you." Asuna raised her head and smiled shyly.
"There's no need to be so polite with me."
"En. That … "
"What happened?"
"I'm awake now, in the hospital …"
"You want to ask about your parents, right?" Tang Hao understood and smiled, "I used a little trick and have already informed the hospital. They will contact your parents for me. If there are no accidents, they should be here soon."
"Really?" Just when she was about to say something, Tang Hao gently patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, leave the rest to me … Oh, they seem to have arrived."
When Tang Hao heard footsteps coming from outside the ward, he immediately smiled and snapped his fingers. In an instant, his clothes changed from casual clothes to a luxurious suit, and then he sat on the chair beside the bed.
Asuna blinked her eyes in confusion. She didn't know what he wanted to do, but when she saw the confident smile on Tang Hao's face, she quickly calmed down. So she didn't ask anything and just sat on the bed, looking at the door.
Soon, someone knocked on the door, and as the door opened, several figures walked in. A doctor, a nurse, a couple, and a gentle young man wearing glasses.
"Minato Minato!"
"Dad, Mom." Asuna looked at the couple standing in the middle and smiled.
"Minato Minato …" Asuna's mother, Kyoko Yuki, looked at her daughter who had slept for half a year and finally woke up. Even if she hid it well, her face still showed some excitement and joy. She quickly walked to the ward, and Tang Hao also got up from the chair and quietly retreated to the side.
"Doctor, is my daughter okay?" At the same time, Asuna's father, Shozo Yuki, remained relatively calm and asked the attending doctor next to him.
The doctor said, "It's hard to say now. Although your daughter has woken up, there may be some sequelae after a long period of sleep. It's best to do a comprehensive examination."
"Well, then I'll have to trouble you."
Then, Asuna's parents also retreated to the side and handed over their daughter to the doctor and nurse.
It was only then that they seemed to have finally noticed Tang Hao and turned to look at him. "Mister, you are?"
Tang Hao smiled and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "You two must be Asuna … no, Minato's parents. Nice to meet you."
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and Buddha makes the gold. Tang Hao's famous suit undoubtedly showed his identity to others. Although some people did not look like emperors even if they wore dragon robes, it was quite easy for Tang Hao to imitate the temperament of nobles. When he stood there and kept his mouth shut, no one would notice him. However, once he opened his mouth and revealed his aura, ordinary people would not be able to take their eyes off him.
"My name is Tang Hao, and I'm a friend of Minato's in the game. Because we've been through a lot, we're quite close. So, when I heard that she woke up, I immediately rushed over … Oh, right, this is my business card."
Tang Hao held the business card with both hands and handed it to Shozo.
In Japan, giving a business card was a very common thing. Basically, people in all walks of life, big and small, had this habit, so Shozo didn't think much of it. But when he took the business card, he was slightly stunned.
This was a very ordinary business card, but the design was very exquisite. The material looked very ordinary at first, but when he touched it, it was as warm as a warm jade and as bright as a diamond. It was quite extraordinary.
With Shozo's experience, he immediately judged that the cost of this business card was probably millions of dollars.
And the information on the business card surprised him even more.
[International Trade and Transportation Company, Tang Group President – Tang Hao]
The couple looked at each other with a trace of doubt in their eyes. They knew about international trade and transportation, but they had never heard of the Tang Group, and it was such a young president. They always felt it was fake.
But the business card couldn't be fake, and the aristocratic temperament of this young man was not fake. What was the relationship between him and their daughter?
The two were anxious, but for a while, they didn't know how to ask.
At this moment, Tang Hao gently hooked his finger behind everyone's back, and an invisible energy was released. The eyes of the young man next to Shozo flickered slightly. Then, he, who was originally gentle and easy-going, suddenly took two steps forward and asked Tang Hao, "Tang Group, why have I never heard of this company? Mr. Tang Hao, could it be that you faked this to deliberately deceive Mingri? "
"Shinzhi!" Shozo immediately glared at him.
The young man was stunned. When he came back to his senses, even he didn't know why he asked such a sharp question.
Tang Hao smiled indifferently, "This is?"
"He is my adopted son, Shinzhi Xu. Please forgive me for offending you just now."
"Oh, it's Mr. Xu. I've heard a lot about you." Tang Hao nodded slightly and cast a meaningful look at the other party, then smiled and said, "Mr. Yuecheng, you don't have to worry about it. I'm Minato's friend, and I won't feel offended because of such a small thing. But your son's knowledge is a little shallow. Although the Tang Group is not well-known in society, it has an important position in the world, and has close contacts with China, the United States, Britain, France, and Russia … By the way, there's something I don't know if I should say."
"Just say it."
"Okay then." Tang Hao nodded and looked at Shinzhi Xu again. Suddenly, he changed the offensive and said in a deep voice, "Shinzhi Xu, you're in trouble."
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned again. Even the doctors and nurses in front of the bed subconsciously looked away.
"What did you say? What's the matter? "Shinzhi Xu asked in confusion.
"Aren't you going to say it? That's fine. Take a look at this first. " Tang Hao took out a document from his arms and handed it to the couple. The two looked down and were directly dumbfounded.
Because this was a criminal police appointment document, and it was not an ordinary criminal police, but an Interpol appointment document issued by the United Nations Committee. When faced with international criminals, they could directly arrest or even kill them without interrogation, or even skip the local law enforcement agencies.
On the surface, he was a noble president, but in secret, he was an Interpol directly under the P5.
Jie Cheng and his wife were completely dumbfounded by this identity.
The two suddenly remembered what Tang Hao said just now. He said that he maintained a close relationship with China, the United States, Britain, France, and Russia. So … it was this kind of relationship!
They did not think that this document was fake, because it was stamped by the United Nations Committee. Moreover, not to mention a president, even the Prime Minister of Japan would not dare to forge this kind of document.
Then, it was obviously real!
Shozo Yuecheng held the document with a trembling hand, glared at Shinzhi Xu, and said angrily, "Shinzhi, what did you do? Tell me clearly! "
"I … I really didn't." Xu Xiang Shinzhi was also dumbfounded. Although he had indeed done some bad things and was preparing to do even worse things, those things had not been carried out yet. There was no possibility of them being exposed at all. Taking a step back, even if he was exposed, it was absolutely impossible for him to provoke a monster like the Wuchang!
"I've been wrongly accused! Godfather, you have to believe me! "
Shinzhi Xu was so scared that he almost knelt down.
Shozo Yuecheng did not know whether to believe him or not, and could only ask Tang Hao for confirmation, "Tang Hao … Mr. Tang Hao, could there be some misunderstanding? Did you make a mistake?"
"Sigh, actually, I also hope that I am mistaken." Tang Hao sighed, "After all, Shinzhi Xu is your adopted son, which means he is Ashina's sworn brother, and my relationship with Ashina … In fact, we are also considered family, don't you think?"
"Ah? Uh … yes, you are right. "Shozo Yuecheng nodded blankly.
"Since we are family, of course, I don't want to arrest Shinzhi Xu personally, but the crime he committed is too big. As a criminal police officer appointed by the P5, I must be responsible for the P5 and the world. I have the obligation to uphold justice."
"Then … but, what did he do?"
"It's a long story. In fact, my target at first was not Shinzhi Xu, but Kayaba Akihiko. I learned that he hid some criminal records in the game SAO, so I disguised myself as an ordinary player and entered the game to investigate him …"
Tang Hao said as he walked. Soon, he arrived at the bedside. He waved his hand to dismiss the doctors and nurses, then he sat on the bed and held Asuna's hand.
The Yuecheng couple saw this, but they did not dare to say anything.
"In the game, I met Asuna … um, your daughter, Asuna. We leveled up together, fought monsters together, and fought for justice together. Gradually, we developed feelings for each other. Before we returned to the real world, we had already pledged to marry each other … Of course, that's not the point. What's important is that during our investigation, we discovered that Nobuyuki Susumo and Kayaba Akihiko had close contact. Nobuyuki Susumo, you don't deny this, do you?"
"This … What's there to deny? I did research with Kayaba Akihiko when I was a student, but that's just …"
"That's just one of the reasons. Secondly, you have frequent contacts with a brain research institute in the United States, and that institute secretly conducted some inhumane experiments. They have long been on my blacklist. After my investigation, I found out that you are their collaborator."
"You …"
"Shinzhi Xu, you don't have to quibble anymore." Tang Hao shook his head and interrupted him, "No matter what you say, what's right is wrong, and what's wrong is wrong. Your actions have long been put on the table of the P5. If you don't accept it, you can appeal to the Japanese government. Let's see if they will accept it or not."
"Of course, you are Asuna's sworn brother, which means you are my family, so I will give you another chance." Tang Hao got up and walked in front of Shinzhi Xu, patted him on the shoulder, "I will give you three days to turn yourself in to the United Nations Committee. At that time, I will testify for you and reduce your crime."
"In short, that's the basic situation. This is the biggest concession I can make for Asuna. In addition, I hope that everyone can keep their mouths shut today. After all … I am a member of the P5, and this is a secret."
Tang Hao shook his head with a sad look, then looked at the hospital bed and said with a smile, "Then let's call it a day. Asuna, you just woke up, you should have a good time with your family first. I will go and see Kirito."
After that, Tang Hao turned and left, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other.
Of course, he will not give Shinzhi Xu a chance to turn himself in, because when he patted Shinzhi Xu's shoulder just now, he has already put a curse into Shinzhi Xu's body. Within three days, Shinzhi Xu will inevitably die on the spot.
