Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

#116 - Section 116

That is unconstrained freedom, acting solely on one's own heart, even to the point of being called unbridled.

This is what Yang Nai yearns for most.

She is very fond of her younger sister, Xue Zhi Xia Xue Nai.

But Yang Nai is also very clear.

Xue Nai, like her mother, Madam Xue Zhi Xia, is a shackle bound to her.

Perhaps Xue Nai herself is not aware of this, but in any case, that is the reality.

Yang Nai doesn't want Xue Nai to bear the responsibilities of the Xue Zhi Xia family, so Yang Nai herself must shoulder them.

"It's good that you understand."

Madam Xue Zhi Xia clearly had no intention of delving further into this topic, and changed the subject.

"Has the fighter who will represent our Xue Zhi Xia Company been found?"

"Yes, found."

"How much remuneration does the other party want?"

Yang Nai sat across from Madam Xue Zhi Xia and held up three fingers.

"The price I offered is thirty million."

"Thirty million?"

Hearing this number, even Madam Xue Zhi Xia, who was always high above, couldn't help but have a few different colors flash in her eyes.

Thirty million in cash is not a small amount for the Xue Zhi Xia Company.

After all, they are not behemoths like the Si Gong Consortium.

Moreover, Yang Nai and Xue Nai's father, the Chiba Prefecture Councilor, is about to start his next election.

If he wants to step out of Chiba Prefecture, not just stay in the position of Prefectural Councilor, but wants to go higher, he also needs to grease a lot of relationships.

Madam Xue Zhi Xia also noticed.

Thirty million is not the reward requested by that fighter.

But the price that Yang Nai took the initiative to offer.

"Is he worth this price?"

Faced with her mother's question, Yang Nai's smile seemed a little bitter, and after a moment of silence, she replied.

"I'll be frank with you."

"I even think that three million, thirty million, three hundred million, it makes no difference to him."

"The reason he agreed to help me this time is only because I helped him with a small favor last time, it's just returning a favor."

Yang Nai really thought so.

She found it hard to believe that Ye Xing's character would be moved by the "mere" thirty million price she offered, and agreed to help the Xue Zhi Xia Company to face the fighter sent by Kyoto Municipal Bank.

Perhaps, after she took the initiative to increase the exorcism reward for the unfinished building, and agreed without hesitation to the extremely difficult Sakura Province airship promotion, this was a response to the goodwill she had expressed?

Madam Xue Zhi Xia heard for the first time that her daughter Yang Nai would have such a high evaluation of a person.

Her question is very simple.

"Can you win?"

Yang Nai pursed her lips, with an indifferent look.

"I don't know, after all, fighting is a mysterious circle that I and the Xue Zhi Xia Company have come into contact with for the first time, but…"

Recalling the guarantee that Ye Xing made to her when they were drinking last night, that he would definitely not suffer serious injuries 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 don't have any basis, I believe he will definitely win."

Hearing this, Madam Xue Zhi Xia couldn't help but frown.

This…

It's completely unlike the words Yang Nai would say.

Without knowing the Kyoto Municipal Bank's fighter candidate, and even without much understanding of the fighter circle, she would actually say that she believed that person would definitely win?

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, Madam Xue Zhi Xia would have found it hard to believe that Yang Nai, who was always at ease in any social situation and always maintained rationality and calmness, would say such words, which were like being emotional.

Wait a moment.

Being emotional?

Could it be…?

Yang Nai noticed the subtle change in her mother's expression, and also realized that what she had just said was a slip of the tongue, and quickly changed the subject without showing any signs.

"In short, if you don't want the Xue Zhi Xia Company to intervene in this gambling game, then it doesn't matter."

"But if you want to seize this opportunity, I can guarantee that he is the most likely candidate we, the Xue Zhi Xia Company, can find to win."

Madam Xue Zhi Xia nodded.

"Okay, let's follow the candidate you have chosen. I will send someone to contact Kyoto Municipal Bank to finalize the location and time as soon as possible."

Madam Xue Zhi Xia believed in Yang Nai's judgment.

Moreover, she did not hesitate in the slightest about the decision to participate in this gambling game.

At worst, it would be to donate the newly renovated office building to Kyoto City free of charge, causing the Xue Zhi Xia Company's plan to develop its power outside of Chiba Prefecture to fail.

Climbing to a higher position is a gamble in itself.

Madam Xue Zhi Xia was able to develop the company to this scale because she chose the correct answers in front of one difficult problem after another, and thus came to today.

This time, it is no exception either.

…

On the other side, at Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang's home.

"Father, you're back. You've worked hard."

As soon as Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang walked into the entrance hall, Ye Shen Yue greeted him and took the bag from his father's hand.

"Yue."

Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang looked tired, changed his shoes, and glanced around the living room.

"Where are Zhuang Yu and your mother?"

"Oh, they went out shopping and said they were eating out."

"Then why didn't you go with them?"

Ye Shen Yue smiled as if he was embarrassed and scratched his head.

"I thought you weren't here, and I don't like shopping, so I stayed at home to study more. Even though I got first place in the whole school this time, I still can't slack off."

"Well, not bad."

Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang nodded in satisfaction and patted Ye Shen Yue's shoulder in praise.

"I think it's great that you can have this kind of thinking."

"Well, after all, I want to join the Metropolitan Police Department like you in the future. To achieve this goal, I have to work harder."

After Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang walked to the sofa and sat down, Ye Shen Yue took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea, sat beside him, and asked as if casually.

"This time, it was a sudden work event. I told Zhuang Yu, and she can also understand your hard work. If you have serious business to do, don't worry about Mom and Zhuang Yu, I'm here too."

Hearing his son Ye Shen Yue's sensible words at such a young age, Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang felt even more gratified.

He sighed heavily, forced a smile, and waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter. I don't have any work arrangements for the next few days. The higher-ups have approved my vacation application."

"That's great."

Ye Shen Yue smiled on his face, but he had another idea in his heart.

Of course, he had already seen the incident of the invasion of the Kyoto Municipal Museum on TV.

His father's sudden overtime work must have been for this case.

As for who did it, does he still need to think about it?

Although there were no photos of the scene this time, Ye Shen Yue was 100% sure that the young man who temporarily did not know his real name and alternately called himself Gong Shui San Ye and Yi Teng Cheng was definitely related to this case.

For some reason, he had a hunch.

Since the other party did it, it was impossible to fail.

I'm afraid the truth of the matter is not what the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department and the museum claim to the outside world.

The genuine Guimaru Kunitsuna has actually been stolen.

As for why they want to hide this matter, Ye Shen Yue can probably guess a few points.

This also confirms the entangled and helpless look in his father's eyes.

So now, Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang said that he had applied for vacation, and the higher-ups of the Metropolitan Police Department also agreed to this application.

It shows that the Metropolitan Police Department either does not intend to launch an investigation, or has not yet obtained any clues that can be investigated.

It's done very cleanly.

As the son of Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang, Ye Shen Yue is too clear about how high-level his father's criminal investigation experience is.

Even so, he is actually helpless against that guy.

As expected of someone who is walking on the same path as himself, with the goal of eliminating evil and changing this decaying world.

At this time, Ye Shen Zong Yi Lang did not know that his perfect son, who he was very satisfied with and envied by all parents, and who aimed to become a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, had already rebelled in secret.

…

At the same time, at Ye Xing's home.

After eating, Yu Bi Bin Jie Yi and Si Gu Jian Zi went home first.

After all, it is now the spring break, and they should not stay outside too late.

In the living room, only Shuang Ye Li Yang, Ying Dao Mai, and Ye Xing were left.

"Senior Mai."

Shuang Ye Li Yang looked at Ying Dao Mai, who had taken off her apron, with her two slender legs stacked together, and did not feel restrained at all, just like sitting in her own home, sitting on the opposite sofa, and asked as if casually.

"It's almost eight o'clock now. If you don't go home, your family will worry, right?"

Ying Dao Mai smiled when she heard this and asked back.

"Then what about classmate Shuang Ye? Aren't you going back yet?"

Shuang Ye Li Yang took off her glasses and said lightly.

"I live alone, so I can stay later."

A few imperceptible different colors flashed in Ying Dao Mai's eyes, and she replied with a perfect smile.

"Coincidentally, I also live alone."

"Then how long does Senior Mai want to stay?"

"Then how long does classmate Shuang Ye want to stay?"

Shuang Ye Li Yang still had that calm and indifferent look, the same as usual.

On Ying Dao Mai's face, there was still that sweet smile that could not be faulted in any way, and that anyone would find very charming.

The two women did not have any different expressions from usual.
