Conan followed the suspicious bodyguards, moving very quietly, like a cat, close to the walls of the corridor.

He didn't dare follow too closely, keeping only a distance where he could see their backs.

The way those guys walked looked increasingly strange. Although their steps were steady, their eyes were constantly scanning their surroundings, as if they were confirming the route and calculating the distance.

This isn't how bodyguards should behave; it's more like a group of hunters searching for prey!

Sure enough, the group stopped in front of a double wooden door at the end of the corridor.

That's the study.

Two burly bodyguards stood at the door. Upon seeing them, they raised their hands to stop them: "Wait, you—"

Before the other party could finish speaking, the leader of the men in black suddenly moved.

He stepped forward and cleanly chopped the bodyguard at the door in the neck with a swift, decisive chop.

The bodyguard's eyes rolled back, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

Before the other bodyguard could react, another man in black grabbed him from behind and choked him. A few seconds later, he lost consciousness.

The whole process was so fast that there wasn't even time to gasp. The two bodyguards were taken down silently.

The men in black didn't dawdle; they dragged the two unconscious bodies to a corner against the wall, then pushed open the door and went in one after the other.

Conan hid in the corner of the corridor, his heart pounding.

He took a deep breath, tiptoed to the study door, squatted down, and pressed his ear against the wooden door to listen for any sounds inside.

In the study, Tomoko Suzuki was still discussing Ayako and Yuzo's marriage with Tetsuji Tomizawa, and they were also discussing where to hold the wedding to show off the wealth of the Suzuki and Tomizawa Foundations!

Just then, the men in black burst in.

Mrs. Suzuki frowned as she saw several bodyguards push the door open and enter, her tone tinged with impatience: "Who let you in? Get out."

The men in black acted as if they hadn't heard anything and walked straight up to Tomizawa Tetsuji.

"Mr. Tetsuji Tomizawa, please come with us." The leader of the men in black spoke calmly, yet with an air that left no room for refusal.

Tetsuji Tomizawa looked up, squinting as he sized up the group of people in front of him: "Who are you? Who sent you?"

The man waved his hand, and several people behind him immediately stepped forward, surrounding Tomizawa Tetsuji: "We are from the CIA. We suspect you of assisting a transnational criminal organization in money laundering, and we need your cooperation in returning to our country for investigation."

Tomoko Suzuki said with a livid face, "You CIA people are going way too far!"

"This is the Suzuki family's house! How dare you come to my house to arrest someone?! Stop it all!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the men in black turned to look at her, a slightly mocking smile playing on his lips: "It's precisely because it's in your house that it's convenient to arrest people, Mrs. Suzuki!"

"Don't worry, we will formally apologize to you afterward."

He waved his hand, signaling his men to help Tomizawa Tetsuji up. "Let's go, Chairman Tomizawa. Don't make things difficult for us."

Two men helped Tetsuji Tomizawa to his feet, his face flushed, glaring angrily at the leader of the men in black: "Fine, you...you'll remember this!"

"I will definitely file a complaint with your embassy! You are blatantly trampling on the legal rights of a Japanese citizen!"

The man in black didn't even lift his eyelids: "Whatever."

He turned to Tomoko Suzuki, selected a CIA agent to stay behind, and said, "You stay here and keep an eye on her. Don't let her touch the phone!"

"Mrs. Suzuki, a smart person should do smart things and avoid unnecessary actions, understand?"

Suzuki Tomoko was trembling with anger, but at this moment she could only grit her teeth and stare at them intently.

She was, after all, a businesswoman. No matter how high her status was, she could only grit her teeth and endure it when faced with these people who had guns and privileges.

Conan stood outside the door and heard everything clearly.

His brows were furrowed, and his mind was in turmoil!

CIA! How could it be the CIA?

And they were so arrogant as to break into the Suzuki family's villa to arrest people.

This is no ordinary law enforcement action; it's practically no different from kidnapping!

Before he could think any further, footsteps from the study were already approaching the door.

Conan quickly turned around, ran back to the corner of the corridor, hid behind a large potted plant, took out his phone, and quickly dialed Lin Shen's number.

The phone rang twice and was answered.

Conan lowered his voice and spoke rapidly, "President! Something terrible has happened! Something's wrong!"

"Several CIA agents came into the study and arrested someone!"

"President Tomizawa has been taken away by them, you need to come over right away!"

He had barely finished speaking when the study door opened.

Several men in black pushed Tomizawa Tetsuji out. Tomizawa Tetsuji's face was ashen, and he was being held by the arms by two men, his eyes glaring angrily ahead.

Behind him, a man in black was pressing a silenced pistol against his lower back.

After hanging up the phone, Conan huddled behind some greenery and watched the other person leave.

He followed them almost without hesitation, quietly keeping a distance from them as he moved along the corridor toward the gate.

----------

The air in the study seemed to freeze.

Tomoko Suzuki stood there, watching as Tetsuji Tomizawa was dragged away by the CIA agents.

The door closed, and the footsteps faded into the distance. She grew increasingly agitated!

No, we can't just let them take them away like this!

Those CIA agents won't reason with you. To them, a chaebol chairman is nothing more than an ATM!

If Tomizawa Tetsuji is really taken away by them, it will be difficult for him to come back alive!

She had to make a call, she had to call Lin Shen right away!

Let him intercept them and bring them back!

Tomoko Suzuki became increasingly restless as she thought about it.

She rushed to the desk and reached for the landline phone.

However, before her hand could even touch the microphone, there was a muffled "bang!"

A bullet hit the telephone precisely.

Plastic shards flew everywhere, and the microphone was knocked away, bouncing twice on the ground.

Tomoko Suzuki froze, her hand hovering in mid-air, her heart skipping a beat.

She slowly turned her head and saw a CIA officer on duty holding a silenced pistol with a wisp of white smoke rising from the muzzle.

The CIA officer stared at her expressionlessly, his tone chilling to the bone: "Mrs. Suzuki, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Tomoko Suzuki took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She looked at the person in front of her and tried to communicate: "I'll give you ten million yen!! Give me a call, and you can pretend nothing happened."

The CIA officer smirked, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Ten million yen? Do you think that's a lot? I can easily make more than that on the side."

Tomoko Suzuki gritted her teeth and continued to raise the stakes: "One hundred million! As long as you let me make this call, one hundred million will be in my account immediately!"
