Then the door opened and an officer on duty came in and reported that a woman named Tokugawa Mitsuko was outside the mansion and wanted to see Mr. Iwai.

Hirota Naoki knew that Iwai Yuichi did not know Tokugawa Mitsuko, so he quickly said:

"Mr. Iwai, Miss Mitsuko is the granddaughter of Tokugawa Speaker of the House of Peers. General Kagesa is her cousin. It was she who asked General Kagesa to call Commander Isotani regarding Tokikai-kun's matter."

When Iwai Yuichi heard this, he realized that Su Xiwu was looking for Tokugawa Mitsuko. Since General Kagesa had come forward, Isotani would naturally obey.

I thought, the eldest daughter of the Tokugawa family is here, she is a distinguished guest and I cannot neglect her.

He said quickly:

"Hirota-kun, please go and invite Miss Guangzi in. Don't keep her waiting for too long."

Hirota Naoki responded and went out.

Su Xiwu leaned close to Iwai Yuichi's ear and whispered:

"Iwai-kun, let me tell you something. Ms. Mitsuko and Shi Kai are a couple, so Ms. Mitsuko spared no effort to save Shi Kai."

Iwai Yuichi was shocked. He didn't expect that the eldest daughter of a top Japanese noble family would fall in love with a Chinese man, Yuan Shikai. He was a little bit unconvinced and said:

"is this real?"

"It is absolutely true. Miss Guangzi is from the Special Higher Section. She goes by the alias He Li and works in the secretariat of the municipal government. She is a colleague of Shi Kai.

Shi Kai is very outstanding and Miss Guangzi fell in love with him, but Shi Kai did not know her true identity at that time, and he only found out today.

To be honest, I also found out about this today, because Ms. Mitsuko is going to be transferred back to the Special High Section, and Section Chief Takemiya told me about it."

Only then did Iwai Yuichi believe it. He remembered that the woman named He Li, whom Yuan Shikai rescued at the No. 76 party the night before, turned out to be Tokugawa Mitsuko.

No wonder Yuan Shikai went to save her despite the danger, because they were a couple.

However, under the circumstances at that time, it was commendable that Yuan Shikai was able to take action, and many people might not be able to do it.

Yuan Shikai is indeed very outstanding, so it is not strange that Miss Guangzi falls in love with him.

He couldn't help but look at Yuan Shikai with even greater respect.

However, he was also very curious. How could Tokugawa Mitsuko, who had such a noble status, condescend to work as an agent in the Special Higher Police? This practice was very strange. Perhaps people from such a family thought differently from ordinary people.

When Iwata Kaoru heard that Tokugawa Mitsuko had come to the Iwai residence, she felt a little nervous.

He knew that it was Tokugawa Mitsuko who saved Yuan Shikai, and he was worried that her arrival would disrupt his own affairs, which was very likely.

People from such top aristocratic families were not people he could easily meet, and for him and Asai, there was a natural sense of awe in them.

Soon, Hirota Naoki and Tokugawa Mitsuko walked into the office. Iwai Yuichi hurriedly greeted them and said enthusiastically:

"Ms. Guangzi, it is a great honor for you to come to Iwai Mansion.

You must have something important to tell me. If you have any instructions, just tell me."

Tokugawa Mitsuko smiled and said:

"Mr. Iwai, you're welcome. I heard that Shi Kai-kun was here, so I came here to see him. It's nothing, so I hope I won't disturb you?"

"No, no, I'm so glad you can come here, how could I bother you."

Iwai Yuichi said politely.

I thought, it turns out that they are not looking for him, but Yuan Shikai. It seems that what Su Xiwu said is true.

Tokugawa Mitsuko turned to Yuan Ye and said:

"Shi Kai, I came here from my cousin just to tell you that you are fine now."

Yuan Ye nodded and said:

"I already know that, thank you.

I also want to tell you one thing, Seya's issue has been resolved, you don't have to worry about your safety."

"I heard from Chief Chai when I returned to the city government. Thank you."

Tokugawa Mitsuko did not look happy, which made Yuan Ye feel a little strange.

Isn’t this something to be happy about?

He felt that Tokugawa Mitsuko was a little strange after she went to Kagesawa's place, and there seemed to be a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Did something happen?

Out of curiosity, Yuan Ye activated his ability to listen to the inner voice, and then he knew why Tokugawa Mitsuko was like this. It turned out that the price for Kagesa Makiaki to save him was that Tokugawa Mitsuko left him, and Tokugawa Mitsuko had to agree in order to save him, so she was very sad now.

This touched Yuan Ye a little, and also made Yuan Ye realize that Tokugawa Mitsuko truly loved him.

Although she is a Japanese woman and the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family, unlike many Japanese people, she is a very kind-hearted person.

He was right about her!

Of course he didn't want Tokugawa Mitsuko to leave him, and he also knew that Tokugawa Mitsuko was reluctant to leave her, but what should he do?

Yuan Ye was thinking about it when Su Xiwu said:

"Ms. Guangzi, you came at the right time. I have something to tell you. Please try to persuade Shi Kai."

Tokugawa Mitsuko wondered:

"what's up?"

Su Xiwu sighed and said:

"It's nothing. Before you came, Iwata-kun said he wanted to play a game of chess with Shi Kai. There was a bet in this game, that is, whoever loses can do whatever the winner wants.

Shi Kai actually agreed. "

When Tokugawa Mitsuko heard this, she was shocked. Isn't this a chess game of life and death?

If Shi Kai lost, how could Iwata Kaoru let him go? He would definitely take Shi Kai's life and avenge Okada. There is no doubt about it.

Iwata Kaoru is a professional 6th dan. Since he dares to make such a proposal, he must be confident of winning.

Shi Kai is already fine, so why does he still want to play this game of chess with Iwata Kaoru with his life at stake? Wouldn't it be meaningless for him to ask his cousin to save him?

She was at a loss for a moment, her eyes widened, and she said:

"Shi Kai, do you really agree?"

She hoped this was not true unless she heard Yuan Ye's answer with her own ears.

"I agreed."

Yuan Ye's answer obviously disappointed Tokugawa Mitsuko and made her very confused.

“Why are you like this?

I won't let you play this game of chess!"

Tokugawa Mitsuko said anxiously.

Tokugawa Mitsuko's words made Iwata Kaoru feel depressed. It turned out that what you fear will come true.

He knew that if Tokugawa Mitsuko did not allow him to play this game, Iwai Yuichi would definitely agree, and there would be no way even if he tried his best. Would his plan be ruined like this?

But it also depends on Yuan Shikai's attitude. If he wants to leave, Miss Guangzi should be unable to do anything.

What will be Yuan Shikai’s attitude?

Iwata Kaoru looked at Yuan Ye nervously, waiting for his answer.

Would Yuan Shikai just take advantage of the situation and use this as an excuse to go back on his word?

Who knows Yuan Ye said:

"A man without integrity cannot stand, and since I promised Mr. Iwata, of course I have to play this game.

As for why I agreed, I will tell you when I get back."

After listening to Tokugawa Mitsuko's thoughts, Yuan Ye felt that this game of chess should be played. He was even a little grateful to Iwata Kaoru for suggesting this game of chess, because only this game of chess could make Tokugawa Mitsuko come back to him.

He wanted to make Tokugawa Mitsuko feel that it was he who saved herself, and not relying on Kagesa Makoto. Of course, Kagesa Makoto also played a role, and without his call, this chess game would not have been possible.

Then Tokugawa Mitsuko would have no psychological burden, would not have to abide by her promise to Kagesa Makiaki, and would have a reason to return to him.
