My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Chikako Ikeda immediately noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, so she didn't continue standing and talking, but instead sat back down in her seat.

"I finally managed to squeeze out some time from my busy schedule to come here and relax. I don't want to talk about someone who almost died from an injury two years ago, as if it were all our responsibility."

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that name."

Ayako Suzuki apologized at this moment, which made Sonoko Suzuki's expression somewhat unpleasant.

No matter what, Atsuko is part of their team, so why does Chikako Ikeda have the same attitude?

And why is her sister, who was clearly the organizer, apologizing so humbly?

"People's tone of voice changes after they become famous."

At this moment, Ota Katsumi directly mocked Ikeda Chikako, which suggests that he did indeed want to attract Suzuki Ayako's attention.

What do you mean by that?

Chikako Ikeda glared at Masaru Ota across from her.

"Alright, alright, you two stop talking."

I'll go prepare dinner now. You can continue to relax and have tea here for a while.

If they continued talking, things might fall apart, so Ayako Suzuki found herself a job.

"I'll go outside and fix that broken roof; it looks like it's going to start raining soon."

At this moment, the fat man, Ryoichi Takahashi, also stood up.

"I'm really sorry, but I'll have to trouble you then, Takahashi."

"I think this kind of repair and maintenance work is most suitable for Ryoichi Takahashi."

“I used to make props when I was in the film club, so I can help repair the roof here.”

Takahashi Ryoichi didn't take Ota Katsumi and Kakutani Hiroki's teasing to heart and immediately prepared to go outside to tidy up the roof.

"Takahashi, do you know where all the repair equipment is kept?"

“I wandered around outside for a while before, so I know where the repair equipment is located. Don’t worry about me.”

After Ryoichi Takahashi, the person in charge of repairs, left, Hiroki Kakutani suggested that those who stayed behind play cards, but he was immediately and coldly refused.

"Playing cards are something only children play, I won't play along."

Chikako Ikeda got up from her seat, but instead of going upstairs to rest, she went outside.

"Chikako, what do you mean by this? Where are you going?"

"walk."

"Wait a minute, Chikako. Takahashi said it might rain in a little while."

Hiroki Kakutani originally intended to grab an umbrella from the entrance hall and go out, but seeing that Chikako Ikeda had already walked out the door, he didn't have time to follow her.

So only a few people are free in this room?

"There aren't enough people left, so I'm not going to play cards anymore. I'm going upstairs to rest."

Ota Katsu didn't want to have much interaction with Takayanagi Ichiro's people, so he said hello and went straight upstairs.

So now only Ichiro Takayanagi and Sonoko Suzuki remain.

"Brother Ichiro, I'm so sorry to have made you participate in this kind of gathering."

I'll go to the kitchen and give my sister a good talking-to, then we can go outside for a walk.

This time, Ichiro Takayanagi was invited by Ayako Suzuki. Although he was not involved in any conflict, he did see some uncomfortable things, so Sonoko Suzuki needs to apologize on his behalf.

And since everyone has things to do now, she can go out and have fun with Takayanagi Ichiro.

Fortunately, she came out with Takayanagi Ichiro this time; otherwise, such a good thing wouldn't have happened, because Takayanagi Ichiro doesn't usually take girls from his agency on trips alone.

However, before Sonoko Suzuki could turn around, Ichiro Takayanagi grabbed her.

“What happened today has nothing to do with your sister, so there’s no need to put the blame on her.”

Ayako Suzuki invited Ichiro Takayanagi to the party with good intentions; she didn't mean to do anything bad.

Because she couldn't control some of her friends, especially since they hadn't seen each other for two years.

Takayanagi Ichiro didn't blame his sister, which made Suzuki Sonoko very happy. She thought that Takayanagi Ichiro didn't provoke her because of her.

"Brother Ichiro, let's take advantage of this time when it's not raining and go outside to take a look."

The maple leaves here are quite beautiful, which is why some people build villas here.

If the weather is nice, we can definitely move dinner outdoors, which will give it a picnic feel.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, it's very likely to rain, so we'll have to eat indoors.

Since Ichiro Takayanagi no longer cares about this matter, Sonoko Suzuki will no longer seek out Ayako Suzuki to discuss such things.

However, Sonoko Suzuki stopped what she was doing, and Ichiro Takayanagi took the initiative to walk towards the kitchen.

"Brother Ichiro..."

Sonoko Suzuki was a little surprised. Could it be that Ichiro Takayanagi had also fallen in love with his older sister at first sight, and was now going directly to her to discuss some things?

...........

Ayako Suzuki was slightly surprised that Ichiro Takayanagi came looking for her in the kitchen, but she knew that Ichiro must have something on his mind.

"Mr. Takayanagi, tell me what you want to see me about?"

"I came because of that name."

It turned out to be because of that name that had caused so much trouble earlier, which made Ayako Suzuki's face turn slightly unpleasant.

“Mr. Gao Liu, that name is a taboo in our gang.”

I was a bit too cocky before, which is why I said my name out loud.

It seems that Ayako Suzuki still wants to make this gathering a success, otherwise she wouldn't have said something like that.

If Ichiro Takayanagi really intends to keep bringing up this name, then he is deliberately sabotaging this gathering.

"Sister, there must be a reason why Brother Ichiro asked about this name. Just tell me what you know."

Sonoko Suzuki knows her older sister well and trusts Ichiro Takayanagi completely, so she wants her sister to tell her everything she knows.

Chapter 326 The True Identity of the Bandaged Man

Ayako Suzuki never expected her younger sister to make such a decisive choice, completely forgetting her sister now that she had a lover.

However, Takayanagi Ichiro does indeed possess such charm. Earlier, when they were having tea, Suzuki Ayako noticed that Ikeda Chikako's gaze was intentionally or unintentionally falling on Takayanagi Ichiro, clearly indicating that she had some interest in him.

Today, Masaru Ota was dressed very well, like a very successful person two years after graduation.

He was likely trying to attract Ayako Suzuki's attention, but he didn't get any response.

Of course, he also failed to attract Chikako Ikeda's attention, which means he was a failure today, not to mention Hiroki Kakutani and Ryoichi Takahashi.

Now, Ichiro Takayanagi has come to find Ayako Suzuki to learn something, not about Chikako Ikeda, but about that name that made the tea party a little unpleasant earlier.

"I want to resolve the safety issues at this gathering, otherwise some bad things might happen."

Takayanagi Ichiro's response to Suzuki Ayako left her feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Brother Ichiro, is there perhaps something wrong with this gathering?"

Sonoko Suzuki trusted Ichiro Takayanagi completely. Since there was a problem, she was determined to ask about it and resolve it.

After all, this gathering was initiated by Ayako Suzuki. If something uncontrollable happens, the responsibility will fall on Ayako Suzuki's shoulders.

Although the Suzuki Group has the resources to resolve any problem, Sonoko Suzuki could tell that Ayako Suzuki had a fairly good relationship with these people and certainly didn't want anything unpleasant to happen.

"Mr. Takayanagi, did you perhaps discern something?"

Ayako Suzuki and Ichiro Takayanagi didn't have many interactions, but she was willing to try to trust him.

"When you mentioned Dunzi, all four of them looked rather grim, with Ikeda Chikako reacting the most strongly."

I want to know more; maybe I can avert a disaster.

Takayanagi Ichiro brought up the disaster at this moment, which immediately made Suzuki Ayako take it seriously.

"Dunzi is also a member of our film club. He is responsible for writing performance scripts and some characters for film blueprints."

However, she encountered some minor problems two years ago.

She attempted suicide at home but was rescued by her parents. She has been in the hospital for the past two years.

Her parents believed that the clubs she joined in college had a significant influence on her, so they unilaterally cut off contact with us.

"Is this why this name is taboo for you?"

But why would someone like that choose to hang themselves at home, and why would their parents believe that your gang had an influence on them?

This is an inquiry from Sonoko Suzuki.

She never used to ask about her sister's college days.

But now it seems something has come up to her sister, so we definitely need to find out more about it.

Of course, even if she knew the problem, Sonoko Suzuki wouldn't have a good solution.

However, Sonoko Suzuki believed that Ichiro Takayanagi would definitely help her sister solve the problems she encountered.

"As for the specific reason, I don't know. We didn't want to hurt Dunzi anymore, so we didn't visit him."

As soon as Ayako Suzuki finished speaking, she stared wide-eyed at the living room.

This surprised both Ichiro Takayanagi and Sonoko Suzuki, who then turned their attention to the living room.

Sonoko Suzuki immediately spotted the man she had met on the suspension bridge earlier.

It was completely black, wearing a hat on its head, and had bandages on its face.

The most prominent figure is this bandaged monster, who wields a huge axe and seems to be there to kill.

Sonoko Suzuki desperately wanted to scream, but overwhelmed by fear, she forgot about her instincts.

Ayako Suzuki was basically the same; when she answered questions from Ichiro Takayanagi and the others, she still had a spatula in her hand, and now she looked as if she had been frozen in place.
