Different from the tangled pain in my heart.
Yang Nai's face still had that calm expression, and she just nodded slightly.
"I see."
Yang Nai herself was not sure how she felt about Ye Xing.
Say you like it?
The two of them had only met a few times in total, so to say that they liked each other was a bit of an exaggeration.
To say that I simply have a liking for her, it seems like there's something more.
After all, with a look like Ye Xing's, any normal woman would definitely have some favorable impression on him, at least it would be impossible for her to hate him.
If it was just a liking, Yang Noi, who has always been rational and calm, would never do something like what she did last night, pretending to be drunk and voluntarily giving up her virginity.
And the fight that took place in the shower after getting up also proved that the alcohol was not the cause of the night.
What the hell is that?
On the way here, Yang No kept asking herself this question.
The final answer.
There is something in Ye Xing that she has longed for but cannot get, so it attracts her.
That is being free and acting according to one's own heart, which can even be called unbridled freedom.
This is what Yang Nai longs for the most.
She likes her younger sister Yukinoshita Yukino very much.
But Yang Noi also knew it very well.
Yukino, like her mother, Lady Yukinoshita, are shackles that bind her.
Maybe Yukino herself didn't realize this, but that was the fact anyway.
Yono didn't want Yukino to take on the responsibility of Yukinoshita, so Yono herself had to shoulder it.
"You just understand."
Mrs. Yukinoshita obviously had no intention of continuing to delve deeper into this topic, so she changed the subject.
"Have you found the fighter who will represent our Yukinoshita Company?"
"Well, I found it."
"How much does the other party want for payment?"
Yangno sat opposite Mrs. Yukinoshita and made a three gesture.
"The price I offer is thirty million."
"thirty million?"
Hearing this number, even Mrs. Yukinoshita, who had always been arrogant, couldn't help but have a strange look in her eyes.
Thirty million in cash is not a small amount for the Yukinoshita Company.
After all, they are not a behemoth like the Shinomiya Group.
Besides, Haruno and Yukino's father, the Chiba prefectural councilor, is about to start his next election campaign.
If you want to go beyond Chiba Prefecture and not just stay as a county councilor, but want to go higher, you will need to manage a lot of relationships.
Mrs. Yukinoshita also noticed it.
Thirty million was not the reward the fighter asked for.
But it was Yang Nai who took the initiative to offer the price.
"Is he worth the price?"
Faced with her mother's question, Yang Nai's smile seemed a little bitter. After a moment of silence, she finally answered.
"I'll tell you straight."
"I even feel that three million, thirty million, or three hundred million, make no difference to that person."
"He agreed to help me this time only because I did him a small favor last time, so he was just repaying the favor."
Yang Nai indeed thought so.
It was hard for her to believe that with Ye Xing's personality, she would be moved by the "mere" 30 million price she offered and agree to help Yukinoshita Company to fight against the fighters sent by Kyoto Municipal Bank.
Perhaps, the other party was responding to her goodwill after she took the initiative to increase the exorcism remuneration for the unfinished building and agreed without hesitation to the extremely difficult airship promotion in the entire Sakura Province?
It was the first time that Mrs. Yukinoshita heard her daughter, Haruno, speak so highly of someone.
Her question was simple.
"Can you win?"
Yang Nai pursed her lips, looking noncommittal.
"I don't know. After all, fighting skills are a mysterious circle that both I and the Yukinoshita Company have never come into contact with before, but..."
Recalling the promise Ye Xing made to her last night when they were drinking, that he would not be seriously injured and would definitely crush his opponent, Yang Nai took a deep breath, looked directly into her mother's eyes, and said word by word.
"Although I have no basis for this, I believe he will win."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yukinoshita couldn't help but frown.
this...
It's totally not something that Yang No would say.
Without knowing the candidate for the fighting fighter of Kyoto Municipal Bank, and even knowing little about the fighting fighter circle, how could you say that you believed that person would definitely win?
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, Mrs. Yukinoshita would have found it hard to believe that Haruno, who was always able to handle any social situation with ease and always remained rational and calm, would say such emotional words.
Wait a moment.
Emotional?
Could it be possible...?
Yang Nai noticed the subtle change in her mother's expression, and realized that what she had just said was a slip of the tongue, so she quickly changed the subject calmly.
"Anyway, if you don't want Yukinoshita Company to get involved in this gambling game, then it doesn't matter."
"But if you want to seize this opportunity, I can guarantee that he is the person who is most likely to win that our Yukinoshita Company can find."
Mrs. Yukinoshita nodded.
"Okay then, I'll send someone to contact Kyoto Municipal Bank according to your choice and decide on the location and time as soon as possible."
Mrs. Yukinoshita believes in Haruno's judgment.
Moreover, she did not have any hesitation in her decision to participate in this gambling game.
At worst, the newly renovated office building would be donated to Kyoto City for free, causing the Yukinoshita Company's plan to expand its influence beyond Chiba Prefecture to fail.
Wanting to climb higher is a gamble.
Mrs. Yukinoshita was able to grow the company to this scale because she chose the right answer to one difficult problem after another and got to where she is today.
This time, it is no exception.
.......
On the other side, at Soichiro Yagami's home.
"Father, you are back. Thank you for your hard work."
As soon as Soichiro Yagami walked into the entrance, Light Yagami came up to him and took the bag from his father.
"moon."
Soichiro Yagami looked tired. He changed his shoes and looked around the living room.
"Where are Sayou and your mother?"
"Oh, they went out shopping and said they were eating out."
"Then why don't you go along?"
Light Yagami smiled as if embarrassed and scratched his head.
"I thought you weren't around, and I don't like shopping, so I decided to stay home and study for a while. Even though I got first place in the school this time, I still can't let my guard down."
"Yes, Not Bad."
Soichiro Yagami nodded with satisfaction, patted Light Yagami on the shoulder and praised him.
“I think it’s great that you think this way.”
"Well, after all, I want to join the Metropolitan Police Department in the future, just like you. To achieve this goal, I have to work harder."
After Soichiro Yagami walked to the sofa and sat down, Light Yagami took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea, sat next to him, and asked casually.
"This is an emergency work incident. I've told Zhuang Yu about it, and she understands your hard work. If you have something important to do, don't worry about mom and Zhuang Yu. I'm here."
Hearing that his son Light Yagami could speak such sensible and understanding words at such a young age, Soichiro Yagami felt even more relieved.
He sighed deeply, forced a smile, and waved his hand.
"That's fine. I don't have any work arrangements for the next few days, and the higher-ups have approved my leave application."
"That's great."
Light Yagami had a smile on his face, but he had other thoughts in his mind.
Of course he had seen the invasion of the Kyoto Municipal Museum on television.
My father's sudden overtime must be due to this case.
As for who did it, is there any need to think about it?
Although there are no photos of the scene this time, Light Yagami can be 100% sure that the young man, whose real name is not yet known and who successively calls himself Mitsuha Miyamizu and Makoto Ito, must be related to this case.
Somehow, he had a gut feeling.
Since it was done by the other party, it is impossible for it to fail.
I'm afraid the truth of the matter is not what the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department and the museum claim.
The genuine Onimaru Kunitsugu had actually been stolen.
As for why this matter was concealed, Light Yagami could probably guess it a little.
This also confirmed the conflicted and helpless look in his father's eyes.
Now, Soichiro Yagami said that he has applied for leave and the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department have agreed to this application.
This means that the Metropolitan Police Department either has no intention of launching an investigation, or has not yet obtained any clues to investigate.
It’s done very cleanly.
As the son of Soichiro Yagami, Light Yagami knows too well how high a level of criminal investigation experience his father possesses.
Even so, there was nothing we could do about that guy.
He is indeed someone who is walking on the same path as me, with the goal of eliminating evil and changing this corrupt world.
At this time, Soichiro Yagami didn't know that his perfect son, who was very satisfied and the envy of all parents and aimed to become a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, had secretly turned against them.
.......
At the same time, at Ye Xing’s home.
After dinner, Yuigahama Yui and Yotsuya Miko went home first.
After all, it's spring break now, so they can't stay out too late.
In the living room, only Futaba Rio, Sakurajima Mai, and Yohoshi were left.
"Mai-senpai."
Futaba Rio looked at her as she took off her apron and folded her two long beautiful legs together. She didn't feel unrestrained at all, as if she was sitting at home. Sakurajima Mai, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, asked casually.
"It's almost eight o'clock. If you don't go home, your family will be worried."
Mai Sakurajima smiled when she heard that and asked back.
"What about Futaba-san? Aren't you going back yet?"
