Returning to his hometown but in the enemy camp, escaping from the mouth of the near but unable to take a step, Ziongzong is in a dilemma.
The last time Ziongzong was in a dilemma was Koga Mizuo, and this time, it was Ito Tomono.
Even after the last incident, he was wounded and suffered, this time, Ziongzong still made the same choice.
First ensure their own safety and then seek the help of relevant organizations and institutions is certainly wise, but in this kind of situation where they still have the ability but not to do, Ziongzong is not willing to do nothing and just leave.
After cautious thinking, Ziongzong walked out of the exit, a sea breeze, followed by the sea into the eyes of Ziongzong.
--Xiamen ...... has such a place?
In front of Ziongzong is a continuous coastline, behind him is a group of hills that can not be seen, and previously trapped himself in the buildings, Ziongzong can now finally see the whole picture.
Obviously, Ziongzong used the exit is not the main door, but an emergency escape door, and Ziongzong's location, is the rear of the building. The building as a whole gives a sense of technology, in the outside of a large number of the use of floor-to-ceiling glass rather than concrete facades, like a scientific research institutions in general. The whole building has five floors, and the actual height of the building is much higher than the average building because the height of each floor is close to five meters. If you look down from above, you can easily see that the plan of the building is in the shape of a T. The main entrance is located at the bottom of the T, and Ziongzong is located in the middle of the upper horizontal of the T. Ziongzong, who was on the ground, took several minutes to understand this.
--Even if you want to ask for help, it's not possible, right?
After collecting this information, Ziongzong entered the building again, his purpose was clear, to find Ito Tomono, or to ask Ito Kagurashi about Ito Tomono's whereabouts. The person who involved Ito Tomono in this incident was himself, so Ziongzong consciously took the responsibility.
At the same time, somewhere, Wan Lanshan Ariane was drinking tea in her room, and standing beside her was her personal servant since childhood, Van.
Although Van and Wan Lanshan Canglian are actually about the same age, but in terms of appearance, Van seems to be three or four years older than Wan Lanshan Canglian. The simple and fresh hairstyle, the mature work clothes and the more prominent figure than Wan Lanshan Canglian are among the reasons for this.
They waited quietly for someone to arrive, and then a knock sounded at the door, and Van Langshan Aurelian nodded her head gesturally, so Van went to open the door, and the person standing outside the door was Ito Kanzashi.
The person standing outside the door was Ito Kagurashi, who looked a little haggard to Van Lansan Aurelian, and was far from his usual sharpness.
"Any progress?" Aurelian put down his cup of tea, looked at Ito Kagashi, and asked in a soft voice.
"No, deliberately tested him with Atlas, but still behaved like an ordinary person."
Ito Kagurashi only took one step into the doorway and stood still to answer.
"Such a result ...... is a pity, let's observe for a while and see."
"Understood ...... In addition, there is one more thing, I wonder if you are aware of it?"
The previous Manlanzan Asuka Lian, who had been sitting, stood up after hearing this question from Ito Kagurashi, and walked to the window, and as far as she could see, not far away, a black car was approaching.
"Van has already reported to me.
"If Mr. Wan Lanshan knows about our action, then ......"
"No need to worry, since he is here at this time, he must have heard about it, but what do we have to worry about is just a mundane middle school student?
Ito Kagurashi looked slightly worried, while Wan Lanshan Asuka Lian looked calm.
--If I can make that person angry at me for once, it will be an unexpected gain.
I thought to myself.
Aurelian had been briefed on all the things he expected, but Ito Kagurashi was still standing at the door and had no intention of leaving.
"Is there anything else?
"I'm sorry to bring up personal matters here, but after this, can we let Tomono go back to her normal life ......?"
When she heard Ito Kagashi make such a request, Wan Lanshan Asuka Lian couldn't help but smile, a smile as warm as a spring day, completely different from her previous icy attitude.
"That is certainly, it was not my intention to involve her ...... now you are becoming a good father instead.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but as a martial artist who abandoned his family, I'm not qualified to call myself a father.
"If you say so, then I am not qualified to be a daughter of the Manlanzan family, even if I am a disobedient and unfilial son.
The two self-deprecating words were unintentional, but the weight of the self-deprecating words made both of them silent.
After a long time, Wan Lan Shan Cang Lian came back to his senses.
"You go down to rest first, in any case, the responsibility of this matter is on me, you do not need to worry.
"I understand, Onii-sama."
After Ito Kagurashi left, Van put away his straight standing posture and changed to a more relaxed one. This was what Van Lanshan Canglian had asked Van to do. There was no need to be too strict when the two were alone, and the so-called "master" majesty was only for outsiders to see.
The so-called "master" majesty is only for outsiders. "Miss, is this good?
Van asked out of concern.
"There is nothing good or bad about it, maintaining the current stalemate is the most boring, I just threw that little stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
The answer was easy, but she was still staring out the window at the approaching black car, just as she was staring at Wan Lanshan Haiming himself.
There are countless pairs of fathers and daughters in the world, but no pair is exactly the same.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
It was already sunset after bidding farewell to the kind young man, and in the sea of people, Uesugi Yui felt desperate to find Ziongzong and Ito Tomono.
--
Uesugi Yui doesn't know whether Ziongzong and Ito Tomono have sneaked out or whether they have actually gotten lost and are in trouble. With the former in mind, Uesugi Yui concocted a lie to get past Mayumi Araki-sensei and went down to the city alone to look for them. But it had been too long since they disappeared, more than Uesugi Yui could accept. And if she was alone, there was nothing she could do to solve the current situation, and she even nearly got buried in a car accident because she was distracted.
The traffic and lights in front of her distracted Uesugi Yui.
--Let's go back.
After a long time, she thought she had grown up a lot, but once again she felt immature and powerless.
--Weakness really can't do anything.
As she walked, she wished countless times that she could meet those two familiar figures around the next corner, but all that surrounded her were unfamiliar faces and a foreign language that she had no way of knowing the meaning of.
--Let's go back.
At that moment, Uesugi Yui's cell phone rang again, and it was Mayumi Araki calling. Uesugi Yui had forgotten all about it because of the near-accident earlier.
"Uesugi Yui? Where are you? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Uesugi Yui hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"I know you're covering for them, but these two brats are so ungrateful that they don't know how to communicate in advance when someone is covering for them.
Only then did Uesugi Yui notice that Araki-sensei's tone was not what she expected, not panic, but the calmness of something that had just ended.
"Araki-sensei, do you mean to say ......?
"Just now Ziongzong used the public phone at the airport to tell me that Ito Tomono had an emergency at home and had already arrived at the terminal, and that he himself was staying near the airport tonight to rush back for the training session tomorrow morning."
"......"
The information came so abruptly that Uesugi Yui's mind went blank, so much so that when she came back to her senses she had forgotten what she had just heard.
"Uh, sorry, Araki-sensei, did you just say ......?"
"I just said that Ziongzong used the public phone at the airport to tell me that Ito Tomono had an emergency at home and had arrived at the terminal, and that he himself was staying near the airport tonight to come back in time for the training session tomorrow morning."
"I understand, teacher, I'm sorry for the trouble, I'll be right back.
Uesugi Yui was so relieved that she felt so light that she could fly.
However, after a few seconds, such a feeling was overtaken by an irritable and unpleasant feeling of being teased.
-- Since you don't respect me as a sister, you can only be conditioned until you understand this ......
Uesugi Yui turned around and returned to the set, and if she had seen her expression in the mirror, I'm afraid she would have been shocked by that terrible smile.
"Here we are, Wan Lanshan-san."
"Hmm."
A man with white hair pulled open the car door and stepped out of the fancy black sedan with aplomb, the current head of the Wan Lanshan family, Wan Lanshan Haiming.
"The man with the white hair pulled open the door and stepped out of the fancy black car.
"The people we sent there to apologize have arrived, but we haven't heard back yet, do you want me to contact them now?
"No, that's fine when they arrive."
The white haired subordinate, who was following behind him, answered questions.
The white-haired man is not very old, but for some reason, his hair is all white. It had been like this as far back as when he joined the Van Lan Shan Consortium. His name is Bai Yashin, and he is currently already the most competent secretary of Wan Lanshan Haiming, and there are even times when he can take on the role of Wan Lanshan Haiming when Wan Lanshan Haiming himself is not present.
But because his style of action is too ruthless, others in private call him a white-haired evil spirit.
"Canglian didn't know I was coming.
"I'm sure Missy knows, but she's probably busy and can't get away, right? Do you want me to call her?"
"No need ...... to force things that can't be forced."
The second half of Wan Lanshan Haiming's sentence was said very softly, even so, Bai Yaxin still heard very clearly, and it is because he heard very clearly, thus did not dare to reply.
The relationship between this father and daughter, there is no room for outsiders to interfere.
"Anyway, let's call Ito Kanzashi first and have him wait for me in the tea room."
"Understood."
After dismissing Bai Yashin, Wan Lanshan Haiming did not go directly to the tea room, but to his office here. In the middle of the office was an elm wood desk, and on it was a small pendulum clock.
After Wan Lanshan Haiming closed the door, he opened the clock's glass cover, manually dialed the time to 3:23 p.m., and then pulled down the pendulum, followed by the back side of the office where the wall was originally, opened a narrow dark door that only allows one person to pass through at the same time.
After skillfully restoring the clock, Wan Lanshan Haiming walked into the dark door, which closed at the same time he entered. And after the dark door, is an extremely wide room. The whole room is about a hundred square meters, plenty of light, clean white walls, so the sense of spaciousness multiplied. Several precision instruments were neatly placed in the room, and they were all operating with a slight buzzing sound. Wan Lanshan Haiming did not care about these instruments and walked straight past them to a flat, huge hollow glass cylinder.
It was a container with numerous data lines, power lines, etc. linking it to other instruments, and in the middle of the container lay a woman with a dignified appearance.
"I'm here to see you again, Wakaba."
"Sometimes when I look at her, I think I've gone back in time, to the time when I first met you.
"I'm sorry, I've been alienated by Asuka-ryun since I wasn't paying attention, but it's hard to go back to the way things used to be, if ...... "
"If only, you were there, Wakaba."
The man who has been in the world for a long time is a man who has been in the world for a long time.
After separating from Wan Lanshan Haiming, Bai Yashin called Ito Kanzashi directly, but did not get through.
Unhappily, Bai Yashin stuffed the phone roughly into his pocket and quickly walked up the stairs towards the Kyudo room exclusive to Ito Kagurashi.
Knocking on the door several times and getting no response, Bai Yashin did not have patience and pulled the door of the Kyudo room open directly. The moment he pulled it open, an arrow flew right past his nose and landed with a snap on the arrow target not far away.
"Ah, it's Mr. White. I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were here.
On the other side of the room, Ito Kagurashi was dressed in Kyudo and holding a longbow, so it was obvious that the arrow had come from his hand.
Ito Kagashi said this casually, as if the arrow would not have killed Bai Yashin even if it had passed through his head, or as if he was implying that he was too skilled to make such a mistake.
In any case, this successfully ignited Bai Yashin, who was already in an agitated mood just now.
"I know that Master Ito Kyudo is excellent, otherwise I wouldn't dare to open the door easily.
Bai Yashin stood in the doorway talking with Ito Kanzashi, and had no intention of entering the Kyudo room.
"It would be a shame to miss the death of a family member, wouldn't it, Ito-san?
The latter half of the sentence was a merciless mockery that instantly brought the relationship between the two down to a freezing point.
But, as always, Ito Kagurashi didn't bother with Bai Yashin's provocation, which made it difficult to understand why he wanted to anger this opponent in the first place.
"It seems that Mr. Wan Lanshan has something for me? He should have asked me to wait for him in the tea room, just like he always does, right?
Bai Yashin was already thunderstruck inside, but since Ito Kagurashi had not made it clear, Bai Yashin, who considered himself to be higher than Ito Kagurashi, would not take the initiative to start a war. So he could only hold in his anger and continue the conversation.
"Yes, hurry up."
"Understood."
Ito Kagurashi unhurriedly drew the last arrow left in his quiver, bent his bow and set his stance, held his breath, and the arrow flew off the bowstring and landed on the target, while Ito Kagurashi was already walking to the door.
"Then, I will leave first.
Before Bai Yashin could react, Ito Kagurashi had already put away his bow and left the Kyudo room.
It was not that Ito Kagashi had a grudge against Bai Yashin or was angry, but whenever he met people like Bai Yashin, he wanted to put an arrow through their heads.
Otherwise, what would he do with his lifelong anger that could not be realized?
"Missy, Mr. Wan Lanshan has already arrived at the tea room."
"No need to be nervous, since he hasn't come to me, let's just wait and see what happens."
In the file room, Wan Lanshan Canglian was flipping through the documents, and Van was standing beside her with a slightly worried look on his face.
The two of them had always complemented each other in this way, with Wan Lanshan Canglian daring to make risky decisions, and Van reminding her when it was dangerous to help Wan Lanshan Canglian hang on to her horse.
Whether it was as a child, when Van Langshan Canglian instigated the two to sneak out to play together in the downtown area, or now, when the two have made a life-changing decision to overturn the fate of the family.
These, when the five-year-old Wan Lanshan Canglian picked Van, who was also five years old, in the orphanage, were as far away as the stars in the sky that were unreal and unattainable.
A blink of an eye is already a reality.
Wan Lanshan Canglian browsed through the documents with one eye, while Fan browsed through his emails with one eye on his cell phone.
In terms of talent, the two are actually neck and neck, but they have become master and servant because of fate.
"More than that, is there a report about Naotsugu Mugen?
The report in his hand was closed with a swish, and then another one was opened, and while doing so, a conversation with Van was interspersed.
"Yes, there have been sighting reports that he is currently out and about in Xiamen, so I guess he must have received the news that we put out and that Unreformed Kapoor was captured.
"Very well, in that case ......"
Wan Lanshan Asuka Lian did not finish her sentence, for another thing suddenly occurred to her, and Wan Lanshan Haiming's face flashed in her mind.
--If it was that guy, it should ......
While thinking of this, Wan Lanshan Asuka Lian realized that it might be too late for her to make a remedy, but at this critical moment, she was also unwilling to give up any tiny possibility.
"Call Atlas and Ito Kagurashi, but Wan Lanshan Haiming may have already summoned them, so don't be reluctant to use whoever you can get.
"Understood, I'm on my way."
Van did not bother to ask the reason for this abrupt order, but accepted it by heart, and then turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Wan Lan Shan Canglian closed the folder and left the file room together with Van, then parted from him at the door.
"I'm going to the restaurant to have something to eat. If you find someone, let them meet me at the restaurant."
"Got it, Missy."
This way, the situation could no longer be controlled, and no one could act as they wished.
Ariane Manlanzan thought to herself.
Since her mother's death, and during the year when her father, Wan Lanshan Haiming, had lost his mind, Wan Lanshan Aurelian had become a completely different person. Those only in the TV novel life and death separation, without warning appeared in front of her eyes, does not leave the young her any time to adapt to, let her daily life in the dust.
We all have different lives, and thus do not know how to be satisfied, and thus envy each other until we die.
At Xiamen Takasaki Airport, far away from the city, the young man who saved Uesugi Yui's life, Tang Mingtuo, is waiting for someone to arrive at the airport.
--It's almost time to come out.
As Tang Mingtuo thought this, his cell phone rang, and after glancing at the caller ID, he picked up the phone.
"I've been waiting for you, sir."
"Oh, thank you, Minto."
"I'm sure you've already gotten off the plane, and I'm waiting for you in the arrivals lobby."
"I was planning to go there, and I had my plane tickets booked by Xiao Yu, but I felt a little uncomfortable with the birth of my brother and sister, and I didn't want to give them to the vet. ......"
"Do you mean to cancel the trip?
"Well, I'm sorry I made you wait for me.
"It's just a small matter. ...... I'll take care of the confirmation of Matilda, okay?"
"I'll leave it to you, but, Akito, don't lose your cool just because it's about Akito."
"Got it, sir."
Tang Mingtuo hung up the phone, put on the headset, and began to listen to the same audio material over and over again, which was a recording of Uesugi Ziongzong's normal speech, and Tang Mingtuo's purpose was to master Uesugi Ziongzong's tone and imitate it.
Ten minutes later, Tang Mingtuo dialed Mayumi Araki from a public phone at the airport and deceived Mayumi Araki with the disguised voice of Ziongzong Uesugi, thus convincing Mayumi Araki that "Ito Tomono had an emergency at home, and Ziongzong Uesugi sent Ito Tomono to the airport and stayed overnight near the airport. Then he spent the night near the airport".
--Good, preparations are done.
Tang Minto left the airport, and as he was leaving the airport, Tang Minto noticed a few strange figures following behind him in the reflection of the glass automatic doors.
--Do we get rid of them? Or just let them follow?
Tang Mingtuo while walking and thinking, then, gradually towards the sparse number of remote areas.
--It's better to clean it up, it's not convenient to be followed like this.
The moment he made up his mind, Tang Mingtuo darted up.
-- Four, five, six ...... six, hmm.
He did not need to look back to confirm the number of people following him by the sound of footsteps behind him.
After rounding yet another corner, Tang Mingtuo ran into the flat, spacious waiting area, where he continuously dodged a number of lateral oncoming cars and crossed the lane in one breath to the road and also the edge of the second level of the airport. Without a moment's hesitation, Tang Mingtuo flipped over the guardrail and jumped straight down from the second floor. The group of people trailing Tang Mingtuo had lost sight of Tang Mingtuo when they arrived a few seconds late in order to pass the road that had been stirred up by Tang Mingtuo.
--Fortunately, it was shaken off, otherwise so many people, it really can't lay the killer.
Tang Mingtuo, who quietly circled back from the first floor to the second floor, sat in his car and watched the trackers who had lost their targets through the car window.
"Master driver, can we run Zhangzhou now?"
"Yes, no problem."
--These guys who are tracking me are probably from the Wan Lan Shan family, but ...... who sent them ......
- -Wanlanshan Haiming has always been stable, such a messy act of provoking relations certainly would not be his instructions, that is ...... the Wanlanshan family's eldest lady is playing slick again.
Once you think of the Miss Wan Lanshan family, Tang Mingtuo doubly headache. He himself can not take the girls, plus the Wan Lanshan family Missy quirky, so once the front encounter can only surrender.
The --- send people to follow me, then ...... must still be hidden from the Wan Lanshan Haiming instructions, and its purpose is on the one hand to master my whereabouts, on the other hand, the more important purpose, should be to provoke a conflict between the two forces it ......
--- little girl does not learn, all day to pluck these bad ideas, no wonder the world is not always peaceful ......
--- -The first time I saw the girl, I was able to see Mindy again after such a long time.
At the same time, in Kyoto, people who do not know that the other side of the sea is already at war are still going about their daily lives as usual.
At the invitation of Yukino Uesugi, today, Koga Shiki brought Koga Mizuo along with her to the Uesugi house as a guest.
"Mizuo-chan!"
"Yuki-sama!"
The two girls hugged each other at the entrance while their mothers exchanged polite greetings.
At that moment, Uesugi Tano also appeared and said "Hello everyone, I'm mayonnaise~" with a smile, and the originally lively atmosphere suddenly dropped to the freezing point.
"The atmosphere suddenly dropped to a freezing point. "That, Tano, we don't have enough toilet paper at home, so go to the supermarket and buy some, and go to the one that's an hour's drive away, not the one that's a five-minute walk away.
"But I just bought some last weekend ......"
"Just in case, go buy it."
"But why not go to the one near you? The price difference between the two should not be that much. ......"
"The one farther away is better quality.
"But ......"
"Where are all the buts? If you do that again, you'll be punished with a month of manual use only!
"Dear wife, I'm on my way."
Under the threat of Uesugi Yukino, Uesugi Tano quickly disappeared from the house.
"He's not very good at reading the mood sometimes, so don't mind, Koga-sama.
"No, no, you're worrying too much, Uesugi mom."
Koga Shiki held back a smile and made a polite gesture to Uesugi Yukino with some difficulty.
"Mom, what do you mean by "manual" that you just said to dad?
Uesugi Yuuki asked an appropriate question at the right time.
"Uh ...... that means ...... he'll be punished for a month for only washing clothes manually and not using the washing machine!
"Oh ...... so that's how it is, poor dad."
"The first thing you need to do is to get in and learn how to cook.
The first thing that I want to do is to make sure that my daughter doesn't learn anything bad, but I also noticed the wolf-like look in Koga Mizuo's eyes, like a hunter finding his prey or Columbus discovering a new land.
Who knows how many bad topics could be brought up by the keyword "manual", so it was better to curb it in time.
After entering the house, since it was already time to cook, and since the two families were already very familiar with each other, there was no further courtesy, but the four of them gathered together in the kitchen.
"I've heard about Koga's mother's cooking for a long time, and today I finally got to see it! Yeah!"
"Uesugi mom, you're putting a lot of pressure on me."
"I'll help mommy cut the meat!"
"Mizusu is already helping mommy cut meat, that's great!
"I'm not good at cutting meat yet, but I'm good at cutting vegetables, mommy.
"Yuki is good too, don't feel bad.
Uesugi Yukino rubbed her daughter's head and Koga Mizuo's head, and it was a happy moment.
It was hard for her to imagine that some time ago, the mother and daughter had just settled their differences, and she didn't want to know that Koga Mizuo and Koga Shiki had maintained that hurtful relationship for several years.
Now, it was great to live happily together as a normal mother and daughter.
And what was the opportunity to make these changes, that miraculous opportunity. Uesugi Yukino had heard the story from Uesugi Yuuki, and although she would have thought that Ziongzong was the main person who had helped just by listening to the narrative, Uesugi Yukino was very concerned about the mysterious Ito Xuanhong, nothing more than a woman's intuition.
It is easy to save someone's life, it is hard to save a person's life, and Uesugi Yukino thinks that Ziongzong has done it, which makes her feel sincerely proud.
"What's wrong, Uesugi mother, suddenly dazed? The cooking is about to start, yo."
"Ah, really, haha remembered something, let's start then.
"Today we're going to make a complicated dish, a Western-style dish, chicken with cheese."
"Hey, what is that? It sounds delicious!
"Mom is so sly! What's that? I've never had it before!"
"In fact, this is a dish that mom learned yesterday, so if you say that, mom will reveal it, oops, so annoying~"
"Is this a mother-daughter comedy?
Ziongzong, who had regained his freedom of movement, cautiously searched for Ito Tomono's trail in the enigmatic building.
After searching blindly for some time, Ziongzong realized more and more that what he was risking at the moment was probably just a foolishness in the heat of the moment.
There was no evidence that Ito Tomono existed within the building.
However, the possibility of Ito Tomono's presence in the building could not be abandoned.
The only way to get out of this predicament is to find something or catch someone.
Ziongzong searched room by room while trying to remember the structure of the building in his mind. In such a dangerous and tense state, he is pushing himself extremely hard.
During the search, Ziongzong gathered a lot of information, for example, he had already explored a part of the security mechanism in the building. The doors to the rooms here were electronically locked, some rooms were accessible at will, while others were locked. Those rooms that are locked will automatically lock for a short period of time after someone comes out of them, which is about thirty seconds.
In the empty corridor, Ziongzong carefully moved from one corner to another. While he was marching like this, the door not far ahead of him suddenly opened, and Ziongzong, who was startled, immediately stepped back and crouched down to hide in the shadows, then poked out an eye and quietly peered at the movement.
The first to come out of the room, is a very mature-looking but the actual age seems to be very young female, followed by her out, then let Ziongzong quite surprised, is actually the previous in the plane next seat and then met the young girl.
--Thirty.
But more than these, Ziongzong chose to prioritize the recording time, once more than thirty seconds, he could not enter into that room, for him, each room means a little more possibility. As for who these two people really are and why they are here, Ziongzong has no time to care.
"I'm going to the restaurant to get something to eat, so if you find anyone, have them meet me in the restaurant.
"Got it, Missy."
--15.
Ziongzong waited silently until the two people left, and at this time he silently counted the residual seconds still have ten seconds, before the time runs out, Ziongzong rushed to the door, as he expected, the door is not yet locked, without thinking, after breaking in, Ziongzong held his breath Flash into the corner, the entire room searched.
--Good, no one was there.
And then, Ziongzong was shocked by the information he found in this room.
