My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

The three little cuties couldn't understand the conversation between Takayanagi Ichiro and Kataoka Hanshiro, but they could see the crowd rehearsing on stage.

To the slight surprise of the three cuties, Kataoka Renka, who had been having some trouble before, suddenly started to have a smooth experience.

The other members also showed joy on their faces, not expecting that Kataoka Hanshiro's arrival would cause such a change.

If Kataoka Hanshiro were to watch from the audience in the future, Kataoka Renka might evolve into an extremely talented individual, at which point their troupe would be the most complete.

"Sir, I cannot comment on this marriage arrangement. I did the right thing, but I will not gamble with my daughter's happiness."

If what I'm about to do is truly a trap, I will definitely stand up and stop it.

Kataoka Hanshiro was talking about the marriage alliance, but Takayanagi Ichiro didn't respond. Instead, he looked at the secretary that Kataoka Hanshiro had brought.

"Besides owing him his salary, do you have any other conflicts with this secretary?"

Kataoka Hanshiro was quite surprised by Takayanagi Ichiro's sudden and outrageous behavior, but now Kataoka Hanshiro trusted Takayanagi Ichiro a lot more, so he explained the situation between him and his secretary, Onuki.

After listening to Kataoka Hanshiro's explanation, Takayanagi Ichiro quietly pondered for a moment.

"So, after you rejected your secretary's attempt to confess her feelings to your daughter, your daughter ran away from home, and your company also fell into a financial crisis, right?"

Kataoka Hanshiro was a smart man; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the president of a large corporation. After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, he immediately understood what Takayanagi Ichiro meant.

In other words, all the problems that Kataoka Hanshiro's company is currently facing are because of his secretary, Onuki.

“Da Guan has been with me since the beginning of my business. I have never considered this issue. Moreover, my daughter will only see him as an older brother.”

"You and your daughter both think this way, but he himself doesn't think this way."

He believes that since he has been with you through thick and thin for so many years, he deserves a corresponding reward.

The result is that you rejected his feelings, and your daughter ran away from home, which is very humiliating for him.

Chapter 646 Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences

Now that Ichiro Takayanagi has made everything very clear, Hanshiro Kataoka fell silent.

Although this was the first time I had met Takayanagi Ichiro, and also the first time I had learned that Takayanagi Ichiro possessed such an ability.

However, Kataoka Hanshiro trusted Takayanagi Ichiro implicitly after his death, even more than his secretary who had been with him for many years.

Furthermore, there are some issues with Secretary Onuki's situation. If it's just a coincidence, then it's certainly plausible.

But with so many coincidences coming together, it's definitely not something that can be explained by mere coincidence.

In other words, it must have been his trusted confidants who used some means to cause his company to run into trouble.

This made Kataoka Hanshiro very angry. Apart from refusing Secretary Onuki's advances towards his daughter, Kataoka Hanshiro did not think he owed Secretary Onuki anything.

However, Secretary Okunin has now betrayed the company, plunging it into a huge financial crisis.

"If you still don't believe this reasoning, then I can ask you another question: Did you find out about your daughter's situation here yourself, or did your secretary tell you?"

"Of course, my secretary told me. I had asked him to investigate beforehand."

"This theater troupe is not something you can take seriously."

So your secretary already found out that your daughter was here but didn't report it to you.

They only tell you about the situation here when your company encounters extreme difficulties.

I said, "If you really have cash flow problems with your salary, then how exactly do you plan to solve them?"

Takayanagi Ichiro had previously mentioned a marriage alliance, but he hadn't assigned any people to Kataoka Hanshiro's side, so the specifics were unknown.

Now, Kataoka Hanshiro has basically come to believe some of Takayanagi Ichiro's reasoning and is definitely willing to cooperate.

"Now there are three banks that want to form a marriage alliance with me, and they are all unmarried young men from wealthy families."

But all I want is for my daughter to go back and meet them; whether it works out or not is entirely up to the young people.

If my daughter doesn't like it, then there's absolutely no need to continue. I will look for other ways to solve the problem of the broken funding chain.

When asked by Takayanagi Ichiro, Kataoka Hanshiro did not hide anything and explained his current situation.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have some other ways to test those three sons of bankers, right?"

Kataoka Hanshiro wasn't surprised that Takayanagi Ichiro had such a guess, after all, in his mind, Takayanagi Ichiro was now considered a famous detective.

"Yes, I plan to stage a fake kidnapping of my daughter."

Then let the three banks pay to ransom him and see their attitude.

Of course, I'm not asking them to pay for my release directly, but rather to lend me the money, since I'm currently facing financial difficulties.

This way, we can see clearly that my daughter is the most important person in their hearts, and then we can get to know her better.

This is something I need to discuss with my daughter, so I plan to bring her home from here in the future.

If we discuss this outside, there's a risk of it being leaked, and people will look down on my daughter.

When Kataoka Hanshiro said this, his gaze fell on Secretary Onuki.

Now that it's confirmed that Secretary Okunari is the parasite in his inner circle, he definitely can't know about this plan.

"This is your own family matter, and of course we shouldn't interfere. However, I suggest you don't do this behind your secretary's back."

It would be better to turn the tables and involve your secretary directly. He's bound to do something unexpected during the transaction.

If you monitor him properly, you can get the results you want; catching him red-handed is quite possible.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's suggestion, Kataoka Hanshiro's eyes were filled with anger.

Originally, Kataoka Hanshiro intended to temporarily suspend Onuki's position as secretary.

Then slowly uncover the disgusting things he did, and finally send him to the police jail.

However, if we do that and don't find the evidence in time, it might arouse suspicion from Secretary Ohnuki.

It would be better to follow Takayanagi Ichiro's suggestion and let Secretary Onuki directly participate in that self-directed kidnapping plan.

Whether he informed on the matter to others or intended to embezzle the money, he could be caught red-handed.

“Sir, your suggestion is truly excellent. I will adopt it and improve upon it.”

Since Ichiro Takayanagi's advice was helpful, Hanshiro Kataoka naturally needed to express his gratitude to Ichiro Takayanagi.

Even now, Takayanagi Ichiro has not revealed his identity, which makes Kataoka Hanshiro very curious.

What kind of existence could possibly nurture a person like Takayanagi Ichiro?

"I came here because I don't want to see anything bad happen. Although it's your family's business, it could very well affect the troupe's business."

I had promised Xiaohui that I would help her with some things.

The three little cuties then turned their attention to Takayanagi Ichiro, and Ito Megumi immediately praised him.

"Big brother, you are the best person, even better than my brother."

The three little cuties couldn't understand what Takayanagi Ichiro and Kataoka Hanshiro were talking about, but Kataoka Hanshiro's aura had completely subsided, and they didn't feel any pressure, so they thought it was all thanks to Takayanagi Ichiro.

Furthermore, Ito Megumi was very happy because Takayanagi Ichiro had just mentioned her in his words.

"Of course I'm a reasonable person, not the kind of lawless individual. I just don't know who you are, sir?"

Kataoka Hanshiro certainly wouldn't hold a grudge against the three little cuties, but he did take the opportunity to ask about Takayanagi Ichiro's identity.

"Ichiro Takayanagi is just a freelancer."

After giving his name and profession, Takayanagi Ichiro immediately handed over his business card.

Someone like Takayanagi Ichiro could never be a freelancer. After taking the business card and looking at it carefully, I discovered that Takayanagi Ichiro was actually the president of a loan firm.

This is quite a coincidence. His own company had just encountered a financial crisis, and now he just happened to run into the president of a credit agency. Kataoka Hanshiro was even wondering if Takayanagi Ichiro and his secretary were putting on a show.

Chapter 647 A Change in Attitude and a Surprise

"President Kataoka, do you secretly believe that my presence here, and as a loan shark, is just a coincidence?"

It doesn't require much reasoning; the problem could be discovered simply through the exchange we just had.

"I don't think my secretary has any ability to meet a president like you, Mr. Takayanagi, so this is just a coincidence."

"Mr. Gao Liu, what are your lending terms? Could you possibly provide some financial assistance to my company?"

At this point, Kataoka Hanshiro concluded that Takayanagi Ichiro's appearance there was just a coincidence and did not intend to analyze it further. Instead, he asked Takayanagi Ichiro if he would be willing to lend him a loan.

"I'm willing to lend money as long as someone needs it."

Moreover, whether you are a sole proprietor, a small company, or a large conglomerate, you don't need to worry about the funds I have.

"As long as you dare to ask, I dare to lend you the money."

If the person sitting behind him wasn't Ichiro Takayanagi, but any other young man, Hanshiro Kataoka would accuse the other person of bragging.

However, Kataoka Hanshiro felt that Takayanagi Ichiro was too mysterious, a feeling that even the three sons of bankers who cooperated with him did not have, which could only mean that his understanding of Takayanagi Ichiro was not very deep.

"Mr. Takayanagi, may we discuss the loan?"

"I don't think your company is in dire straits yet, President Kataoka. After all, you've brought a lot of money here to try and solve the problem."

Anyway, you have my business card. If you really need a loan or financial assistance in the future, you can go directly to my office.

You should talk to your daughter now, since you're putting a lot of pressure on her.

Previously, Kataoka Renka made many mistakes on stage, but now that Kataoka Hanshiro has arrived, her mistakes have gradually decreased, and she has even received praise from the troupe members. This can only mean that the pressure her father, Kataoka Hanshiro, put on her is just too great.

This might provide some motivation for Kataoka Renka, but it's not a good thing in the long run.

"Then I'll go and talk to my daughter."

At this point, Kataoka Hanshiro did not continue to discuss the loan, just as Takayanagi Ichiro had said, as he now had Takayanagi Ichiro's contact information.

If you ever need a loan in the future, you can just go and talk to Ichiro Takayanagi in person.

He's here to solve his daughter's problem, and incidentally, to deal with the company's corrupt officials. He should go and talk to his daughter.

After finishing his sentence, Kataoka Hanshiro got up from his seat and went to the stage to look for his daughter, Kataoka Renka.
