My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

One day when Takayanagi Ichiro was away, Takayanagi Mitsuka sat downstairs to keep watch, but no one came to the door, which made Takayanagi Mitsuka feel a little frustrated.

After that, she just wanted to do what she should do as a secretary or mother-in-law, and leave the rest to Takayanagi Ichiro, who was a professional.

"Thanks a lot."

Ichiro Takayanagi gave Mitsuka Takayanagi a big kiss on the cheek to express his gratitude before walking downstairs, satisfied.

Chapter 217 Mrs. Suzuki is itching to get closer to the man her daughter likes.

To Takayanagi Ichiro's surprise, when he called from downstairs, the woman didn't wait outside but came straight inside and sat down.

This is the kind of temperament that comes from a woman who looks to be in her late thirties or early thirties; she exudes an indescribable maturity and strength.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi could sense another sign of fatigue emanating from her, though she concealed it very well.

She wore a gray professional jumpsuit, which made her look dignified and elegant, and the dress hugged her body, making her look delicate and beautiful.

It's not particularly stunning or sexy, but it has a very standard figure that naturally attracts attention.

The woman was wearing a hat, but she took it off when she saw Takayanagi Ichiro come down, revealing her short, neat, medium-length hair.

Ichiro Takayanagi had seen this short hairstyle on Miwako Sato.

However, this short haircut perfectly showcased the strong, independent woman's aura.

If an ordinary person saw her, they would definitely be intimidated.

"Hello, I am Ichiro Takayanagi, the president of Takayanagi Modern Agency. May I ask what brings you here, madam?"

This woman was definitely not here to apply for a loan, so Ichiro Takayanagi had no intention of providing her with any services. Instead, he asked her why she had come here.

In Suzuki's eyes, Takayanagi Ichiro was a handsome man, more handsome than anyone she had ever seen in her life. No wonder her daughter was so fond of this place.

My daughter hasn't been home for two days and two nights, so Suzuki Tanoko decided to come and see Takayanagi Ichiro. Now that she's seen him, she's quite satisfied.

Moreover, the fact that the other party can open a credit agency suggests that the forces behind them are definitely not simple.

"Hello, President Takayanagi, I am Sonoko's mother, Suzuki Shoko."

Suzuki didn't try to hide anything and directly revealed his identity.

"Sonoko said she's been at her best friend Ran's house for the past two days, but I just went to the detective agency next door to ask."

That brat said Ran has been living here for several days now, which means my daughter has been staying with you, President Takayanagi, right?

Suzuki Tsuna directly stated what she had done before, which was to put some pressure on Takayanagi Ichiro.

“Mrs. Suzuki, if you knew who that kid was, you would probably have some doubts about what he said.”

"What!?"

Suzuki felt something was off.

Since Suzuki's view of Conan is simply that he's a relatively clever elementary school student, could there be some other underlying reason?

"He is not a simple elementary school student, but the famous detective high school student Shinichi Kudo in disguise."

After hearing Ichiro Takayanagi's shocking speech, Suzuki Tōko was unable to react for a long time.

Finally, seeing the serious expression on Takayanagi Ichiro's face, I knew that Takayanagi Ichiro was not a liar.

"What exactly is going on?"

"The thing is like this..."

Takayanagi Ichiro briefly recounted their previous trip to Dorobiga Park, and also explained the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran. Suzuki Sheraka would then analyze the rest.

After listening to Ichiro Takayanagi's account, Suzuki Takako found the story unbelievable.

The famous high school detective has turned into an elementary school student and is living in Kogoro Mouri's house.

If Ran Mouri and Conan lived together, wouldn't they be two childhood friends living together?

Moreover, that brat Conan can use his status as an elementary school student to carry out some evasive schemes against him.

Thinking about this, Suzuki felt a little nauseous.

"What's the point of telling me all this? Do you want me to go over there and expose Conan's identity?"

"Mrs. Suzuki, I didn't tell Atomic about this news, but told you first because I know you're definitely not the kind of person who would go around spreading rumors."

At the same time, I want you and me to share the same secret, so you'll know that I would never do anything to betray your daughter.

Takayanagi Ichiro's words surprised Suzuki Takako. Takayanagi Ichiro hadn't told his daughter, Suzuki Sonoko, this news, but instead told her when they first met.

Could it be that in Takayanagi Ichiro's heart, she was still a woman who was relatively trustworthy?

Suzuki Tateko felt a little emotional that morning. She was now in charge of the entire Suzuki Group. While it could be said that Suzuki Shiro trusted her, it could also be said that Suzuki Shiro was irresponsible towards her.

He just wanted to be a hands-off manager and treat her as a tool to manage the conglomerate.

Since Suzuki Shiro awakened the same collecting talent as his older brother, he has completely ignored the Suzuki Group and the Suzuki Shed.

Little did anyone know that Suzuki was at the peak of his sexual prowess at that age.

When night falls, Suzuki Sheruki has no choice but to use his own methods to satisfy himself.

Moreover, he couldn't show the slightest weakness in front of his two daughters, because he wanted to set a good example for them.

Fortunately, she had a lot of work to do with the Suzuki Group, which left her little time to think about such things; otherwise, she felt like she was going crazy.

However, upon meeting Takayanagi Ichiro and discovering that he is an extremely handsome man, and that her daughter has a good relationship with him, Suzuki Takako's mind immediately began to wander.

"President Takayanagi, I absolutely do not doubt you. I am just curious about what kind of person is behind you."

"Mrs. Suzuki, have you ever heard of the Takayanagi family?"

“The Takayanagi family, a prominent loan sharking family from the Warring States period to the present, has indeed had a name that has come to my ears over the years, but it is absolutely not a match for you.”

"That guy is my uncle. After my father passed away, he entrusted my uncle to take care of me and my younger brother, as well as the entire Takayanagi family."

But my uncle has become possessed by evil, and he has adopted a hostile approach to raising me and my brother.

They kicked me out of the Takayanagi family compound, but kept my younger brother there to be trained into a tool who only obeys them.

"now what?"

As the head of a large conglomerate, Suzuki Taniko immediately understood Uncle Takayanagi Ichiro's thoughts, and was therefore very curious about what would happen next.

"After graduating from the University of Tokyo, I didn't go straight home. Instead, I opened a loan brokerage firm in Tokyo."

Then I went back to fight for power with my uncle and brother, and of course, I won in the end and became the head of the Takayanagi family.

At this point, Ichiro Takayanagi enthusiastically expressed his interest in Suzuki Shed.

"Mrs. Suzuki, we now have several secrets in common."

Chapter 218 Tomoko had just left when Ayako arrived again.

Upon hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Suzuki Takako's face immediately turned red. She hadn't expected Takayanagi Ichiro to say such frivolous things to her.

However, Suzuki Tateko didn't seem angry, since they truly shared a secret.

The first secret is that the elementary school student at the detective agency next door is actually the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo, who just went through some events and became an elementary school student.

Whether he will return to being a high school student, Shinichi Kudo, remains to be seen.

If she's curious, she can observe and wait.

The second secret is about the Takayanagi family. Although Takayanagi Ichiro spoke of it casually, Suzuki Takashi believed that he had taken care of Takayanagi Ichiro's uncle and his younger brother.

Only people like this can accomplish great things and support the Takayanagi family.

The Takayanagi family is a very old loan sharking family. In the past, when the Suzuki Group encountered difficulties, it also borrowed money from the Takayanagi family.

These are some core secrets that Suzuki Sheko only came into contact with after he became the head of the Suzuki Group.

He never expected that his daughter would meet the head of the Takayanagi family, and that the two would get along so well.

“Head of the Takayanagi family, isn’t it a bit of a waste of your talents to open a credit agency like this in Tokyo?”

"I don't intend to expand; I just want to maintain the existing relationships."

Therefore, opening such a small modern firm is the most definite thing for me.

"If Mrs. Suzuki wishes to invest in my firm, I will absolutely accept."

Upon hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Suzuki Tsuna burst out laughing.

"Many years later, our Suzuki Group may have already declined, but the modern office of the Takayanagi family head will still exist. At that time, it is very likely that our Suzuki Group will need your help."

Suzuki Sheraka wasn't just saying that; there really is such a risk.

Her husband, Shiro Suzuki, has followed in his elder brother's footsteps, focusing on collecting while remaining indifferent to his family and the conglomerate.

The eldest daughter is about to graduate from university, but she has her own ideas and wants to start her own film company to make the movies she likes. She has no interest in managing the Suzuki Group.

The eldest daughter had some arguments with her family because of this, and Suzuki Shiro had already thought about finding her a husband.

The youngest daughter is still a high school girl, and judging from her current performance, she has absolutely no ability to manage the Suzuki Group.

The best outcome would be to recruit someone to marry into the Suzuki Group and maintain its current wealth; there's no need to ask them to expand their territory.

If the Suzuki Foundation had someone as capable as Ichiro Takayanagi to help it, there would be no need to worry about its future survival; it could be completely handed over to Takayanagi to manage personally.

However, her youngest daughter is still a high school girl and it is not appropriate for her to do anything excessive at this time.

I'm fairly suitable, but I'm worried that Takayanagi Ichiro won't be interested in me.

"If the Suzuki Group really needs help, I will definitely provide it, after all, Sonoko and my sister have a good relationship."

Just then, Takayanagi Mitsuka, who had finished tidying upstairs, came downstairs.

It was a bit of a surprise to see Takayanagi Ichiro having a rather pleasant conversation with a mature and beautiful woman.

In this woman, Takayanagi Mitsuka sensed the same strong, independent woman aura as Kisaki Eri.

"This is my aunt, and her daughter is my sister. She and Sonoko are also very close."

Takayanagi Mitsuka sat down next to Takayanagi Ichiro, intending to declare Takayanagi Ichiro's ownership to Suzuki Tateko.
