"You're saying there's something wrong with the person Sonoko brought?"

“Madam, he knows my past and is very familiar with the rules of the underworld—” Luca said with a serious expression, “I suspect he is also a member of the underworld!”

"Don't worry about this~"

Tomoko Suzuki's red lips curled slightly, a faint smile appearing in her beautiful eyes: "Just pretend you don't know anything about these things!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Luca nodded respectfully. Although he was facing an absolutely beautiful woman, he dared not be negligent in the slightest, let alone have any other thoughts.

Only those who work for this lady know how terrifying she is. There are definitely no more than five women in the world who can compare to her!

“Luca, that car that was following them—”

"Madam, please give your orders!"

Luca's spirits lifted. Although the second young lady had instructed him not to pay attention to the car, how could he not feel resentful after being followed for so long? Now, it was clear that the madam intended to take action!

"This is enough to teach them a lesson; don't let anyone die." Suzuki Tomoko's pretty face still held a faint smile, her voice cool as she said, "Next time someone follows Sonoko, just make them disappear."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Luca bowed and left the study to summon several of his brothers.

Ten minutes later.

boom--!

A muscular Hummer SUV crashed head-on into a black sedan parked on the side of the road, smashing the rear half of the sedan to pieces!

Vodka angrily opened the twisted car door, ready to unleash his fury, but then saw a dozen or so burly bodyguards in black suits, about his size, subtly surround him. So, without uttering a single harsh word, he turned and left!

"Have someone take those two cars to be sold for scrap metal!" Luca waved his hand dismissively at Vodka's departing figure and gave the order.

"Captain, this Hummer isn't badly damaged. It can still be used after some repairs!" One of the bodyguards said with a hint of regret, "What a waste!"

"Why don't you go and talk to Madam?" Luca glared at him. "We're the Suzuki Group's bodyguards now. We need to have some class! Repairing cars? If people find out, they'll think the Suzuki Group is going bankrupt!"

"......"

The young bodyguard nodded in sincere admiration:

"I'll go get the tow truck right away!"

Chapter 113 Suzuki Tomoko's Win-Win Deal

In the study.

Tomoko Suzuki put the documents in her hand aside.

A black-covered diary appeared out of thin air on the table. Slender fingers turned the pages and began reading from the first page.

So many days have passed, and although the log entry is only a few dozen pages long because the log's owner is too lazy, it contains quite a lot of information.

Of course, most of the information on this list did not interest Tomoko Suzuki, who was in charge of the Suzuki Group.

She didn't really care about the plot developments or the Black Organization.

Because no matter how the plot develops, it won't have any impact on the Suzuki Group. As for the Black Organization—it's just an international criminal organization. It might be one thing in other countries, but in Japan, if they don't give us face, the Suzuki Group can make them disappear in Japan at any time.

According to Xia Ye, Gin's craziest act was just strafing the Tokyo Tower with an armed helicopter. That's too petty. No wonder it's a shonen detective manga. The strongest villainous organization in the story is only this level. It's not even as exciting as the scene from more than ten years ago when the other three major conglomerates challenged the Suzuki Conglomerate.

For Tomoko Suzuki.

There are only three things that can keep her on her mind right now.

First: The development of the Suzuki Group.

The Suzuki Group is now the largest conglomerate in Japan, and the other three of the four major conglomerates combined can only barely rival it.

But that's where it ends. The Suzuki Group isn't just facing a bottleneck, it's hit its ceiling. Unless something unexpected happens, there's no possibility of going any further.

For Tomoko Suzuki, who propelled the Suzuki Group to its peak, this outcome was unacceptable; her ambitions extended far beyond that!

Second: problems within oneself.

Twenty-five years have passed since she married into the Suzuki family, and she is now forty-three years old. Although time has left few marks on her, age is still a factor, and both her physical and mental condition have declined significantly compared to her younger days.

For women, appearance is always one of the most important things, even for career-oriented women!

Third: The marriage problems of the two daughters in the family.

The eldest daughter, Ayako, is engaged to Yuzo Tomizawa, the third son of the Tomizawa Group, and will marry into the Tomizawa Group in the future.

This means the Suzuki Group is destined to be handed over to her youngest daughter, Sonoko. It's not that Tomoko Suzuki looks down on her youngest daughter; if she inherits the family business, the Suzuki Group will likely no longer be among the four major conglomerates in less than twenty years.

Therefore, we still need to find her a husband who can help her control the Suzuki Group.

Flipping through the logbook.

Tomoko Suzuki frowned slightly.

The transmigrator Xia Ye is indeed outstanding. Whether he was already outstanding before transmigrating or became outstanding after transmigrating due to the system, he is definitely the most suitable candidate for Yuanzi.

but--

A little.

Tomoko Suzuki was not satisfied with him.

Even with a system, you're still so lazy all day long.

Among the system rewards is even the "Resurrection Elixir," which can restore a person to childhood and greatly increase all their aptitudes. If this stuff is researched and mass-produced, it could even change the world!

Despite having such a divine object, he remained unhurried.

I just complete my assigned tasks each day as they come.

If I had my own system, even though the system currently stipulates that an identity can only complete one task per day, I would at least complete all the tasks that I could each day, right?

It seems like it's time to have a talk with him!

The third thing that worries me the most can be solved by him.

And this time I've prepared a win-win deal for him, so he probably won't refuse!

.....

In the garden's room.

Natsume was unaware of the attention Suzuki Tomoko was paying to her.

He glanced at the gardener sitting next to him, made a shushing gesture, and then answered the phone.

"Gin...?"

"Summer Leaves~"

Gin cut to the chase and asked directly:

"Where are you now?"

"Hey, didn't you already know?"

Xia Ye said with a teasing laugh:

“Vodka followed me all the way here, doesn’t he recognize this unique manor of the Suzuki Group in Japan?”

"Is anyone around you?" Gin asked cautiously.

"nonsense!"

Xia Ye's voice was somewhat cold: "If there were other people around, would I be discussing organization matters with you? Are you questioning my professional competence?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Gin not only ignored Xia Ye's reaction, but also began to remind him: "Don't underestimate the power of the Suzuki Group. If your identity is discovered, don't even think about leaving that manor!"

"Oh?"

Xia Ye raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Gin, when did you become so concerned about me? It's really touching!"

"I'm not concerned about you, I'm just afraid you'll cause trouble for the organization!" Gin's voice turned icy again. "So, what exactly are you doing at the Suzuki Group? And who is that woman who looks a lot like Sherry?"

“Sherry… she does look a lot like her, but compared to Sherry, this second young lady of the Suzuki family has her own charms too~” Natsume glanced at Sonoko beside her, whose face was slightly flushed, winked at her, and continued, “I came to the Suzuki Manor, of course, at Sonoko’s invitation, to be a guest here~”

"Suzuki Sonoko?"

Gin's voice was filled with shock, "You're saying that woman who looks a lot like Sherry is Suzuki Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group?!"

"Gin, you've lost your composure~" Xia Ye said with a smile in her eyes, "Is that so strange? I have a photo I took of her just now, I'll send you one~"

Xia Ye switched to his phone's camera and gestured for Yuanzi to strike a cute pose. Yuanzi rolled her eyes at him, but still obediently made a peace sign, her pure and lovely face revealing a sweet, professional smile.

Xia Ye sent the photos directly via email, instructing, "Gin, I used the organization's information transmission program. It will be automatically deleted in five minutes. Check it quickly!"

Soon after.

Gin then reacted.

"The eye color is the same, the face shape is the same, it is indeed Sonoko Suzuki, but what is your purpose in approaching her?"

"for what?"

Xia Ye glanced at Sonoko, who was obediently resting her chin on her hand and looking at him, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. "Of course it's about picking up girls~ Gin, haven't you been with a woman in a long time? Have you forgotten that men don't need any special reason to approach women? Instinct is enough!"

Sonoko opened her mouth and silently mouthed "bad guy" to him. Natsume, why does he say "picking up girls"? That sounds awful. Can't he just say "dating"?

“You’re not that kind of person. At least finding women isn’t your main goal!” Gin had calmed down from his shock, his voice cold and composed: “Tell me your real purpose so I can give the BOSS an explanation. He gave orders not to mess with the Suzuki Group!”

"The real purpose—"

Xia Ye lowered her voice and said calmly:

"Gin, Sonoko Suzuki is now the sole heir to the Suzuki Group. Do you understand what that means?"

"What you want...?"

Despite having suspected it beforehand, Gin was still taken aback by Natsume's madness!

"Hmm~"

Xia Ye said:

"Just as you thought, I'm going to start wooing this second young lady of the Suzuki Group. Once I win her over, the Suzuki Group will be mine!"

Sonoko rolled her eyes across the way. This guy said to my face that he wanted to take me down and seize my family's property. That's outrageous. But what's even more outrageous is that I actually felt quite happy after hearing it!

"Do you know how dangerous this is?" Gin said angrily, but still lowered his voice instinctively. "If we get caught, the Suzuki Group will definitely not let this go. Not only you, but the organization will be in big trouble!"

"Fortune favors the bold, and so does wine and spirits—" Xia Ye smiled slightly, "What we do is never without danger."

"I see!"

Gin seemed to have figured something out. "I will report to the BOSS (Zhao De), and the organization will help you remove those unfavorable traces from your identity. As for the next steps, we can talk about it in person when we have time!"

"This is right~"

Xia Ye's voice carried a hint of approval, "Gin, have a bigger vision. In a few years, maybe I can marry the second young lady of the Suzuki family and participate in the management of the Suzuki Group. That's much better than spending a few years in the Metropolitan Police Department as an ordinary mid-level manager, right?"

"That's settled then, I need to hurry and find Sonoko, we'll talk again next time~"

"Wait!" Gin called out to him. "I have something else to ask you!"

"Say!"

"Vodka is injured. Did you do it?" Gin's tone was flat.

"Injured? What happened?" Xia Ye was taken aback. "I clearly told Yuanzi to tell the bodyguards not to interfere with him. They shouldn't take action on their own!"

“That’s how it is—” Gin recounted the situation described by Vodka to Natsume.

"The car was smashed, but the person was only slightly injured, and it happened right in front of the Suzuki Manor..." Xia Ye immediately understood what had happened. "No one could have done this except for the lady who runs the Suzuki Group. Gin, do you want revenge?"

"........cold"

The other end hung up immediately!

Chapter 114 Sonoko: You're "too" my boyfriend now!

Xia Ye put down her phone.

Gin's reaction was not unexpected.
