Shiraishi Osamu returned to his bedroom.

The progress bar on my computer finally filled up.

But the next second his face froze.

On the website page, a box appeared that required an answer to proceed.

And there are also prompts next to it—

[At Professor Hirota's home at Nanyang University in Shizuoka Prefecture, what is the title of the report contained on the floppy disk sent by Masami Hirota?]

"hiss……"

Shiraishi Osamu couldn't help but gasp, feeling as if his intelligence had been insulted.

Needless to say, he already knew.

This must have been something the Black Organization discovered and deliberately created to lure him in.

This is practically a calculated move. If you want to see what's inside, you'll have to find the answers yourself, and it won't cause any harm to the Black Organization anyway.

Ultimately, the decision rests with him.

If Shiraishi Osamu remembers correctly, Hirota Masami should be Miyano Akemi's alias when she was in school. It seems that today's events may have provoked the Black Organization, and they are preparing for a serious showdown.

If it were before today, he might have worried about the winery organizing too many people.

But now that he has a powerful Transformer as an aid, he feels fearless. Even if there are a lot of people, he feels that if he wants to run away, no one can catch him.

"Ugh……"

"Shizuoka Prefecture, it should take about three hours by car."

"Forget it, I'll just go quietly tonight and fly there directly. It shouldn't take long."

At this moment, Shiraishi Xiu made his decision. Since he was already quite arrogant, he wasn't afraid of any open schemes.

To be honest, his only weakness is his poor marksmanship; otherwise, he would have killed Gin long ago and lived a peaceful life in this world, which would have been incredibly comfortable.

Chapter 0161: Sonoko's Unfounded Friend

the other side.

After Sonoko secretly filmed Osamu Shiraishi and Eri Kisaki embracing, she didn't know what to do.

She's really conflicted right now, she's so worried she's almost lost her hair.

In the end, I could only call on my best friend to help me cope with this distress.

Naoko Takei is a gentle girl with short hair like Sonoko, but she speaks very little and always in a soft voice.

The other one is Xiaolan.

The three of them sat in a shop, enjoying dessert together.

Sonoko silently sipped her drink, occasionally stealing a glance at Ran. Each time, she looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't, clearly conflicted and distressed.

She was completely unable to speak.

If Xiaolan knew about this, I don't know how heartbroken she would be.

Because she knew that Ran really liked her mother, Eri Kisaki, and had been trying to get her mother and father back together.

Now this has happened again.

This is a matter of life and death!

And there's also Shiraishi Shu...

Sonoko felt a pang of sadness whenever she thought of Osamu Shiraishi. It was heartbreaking to discover that the person she liked had an ambiguous relationship with her best friend's mother.

Xiaolan tilted her head and looked at Yuanzi, reminding her, "Yuanzi, you've finished your drink, what are you drinking?"

Naoko Takei didn't speak, but she nodded, her eyes conveying the same meaning.

"Uh……"

Sonoko glanced at the empty cup in her hand, awkwardly placed it on the table, and laughed, "I was thinking about something, so it's normal to forget things."

As she spoke, the smile on her face turned into a bitter smile. She felt that the melodramatic plot that only happened in TV dramas had actually happened to her.

This world is truly amazing.

Seeing her like this, Xiaolan became even more curious: "Yuanzi, what's wrong with you today?"

Naoko Takei said timidly, "Actually, I'm a little curious too. Your worries are written all over your face."

Sonoko opened her mouth several times, but in the end she didn't say anything. She picked up the cake in front of her and ate it in big bites.

She channeled her frustration into food, hoping it would temporarily relieve her worries.

Xiaolan saw Yuanzi and sighed, saying, "I'm not in a good mood today either... My mom came to see me this morning and wanted me to go with her to the interview. I was really happy at first, but my dad wouldn't agree no matter what I said, and he made my mom leave in anger. Sigh..."

Sonoko froze as she ate, a forced smile appearing on her face, and silently put the cake back on the table.

Naoko Takei suggested, "You can go secretly. I often go secretly when my dad doesn't approve of something."

Xiaolan shook her head: "This won't do, it will hurt Dad's feelings. Although he is usually quite unreasonable, I still don't want to do this."

Sonoko's eyes were filled with struggle and conflict. Her lips moved several times before she finally spoke:

"Um... I have something to tell you. Uh... I have a friend. No, no, it's something I saw online."

Ran and Naoko Takei stopped what they were doing and stared intently at Sonoko as she spoke.

"It's about a girl who had a very good friend, who was also a girl. One day... no, wait, her parents separated, but they didn't divorce. It's been about ten years."

Ran's eyes immediately lit up. The people in Sonoko's story were so similar to her, which instantly made her feel a sense of identification with them.

Seeing Ran's sparkling eyes, Sonoko felt a wave of helplessness wash over her, but she continued:

"She's been trying to reconcile her parents. But then one day, her best friend discovered a shocking secret... that her mother, while separated from her father, seemed to have gotten involved with a man. And this man is a friend of hers. Ran, Naoko, what do you think this girl should do now? Should she tell her best friend?"

"This..." X2

Ran and Naoko Takei were momentarily speechless, unsure how to answer the question.

In fact, Sonoko has already made it very clear, and could even have hinted at it further.

But seeing Xiaolan looking so serious about the problem, she felt that everything she had just said was in vain.

However, she felt that this was a good thing, because the truth of things is often particularly cruel, very difficult to accept, and may even cause people to break down.

Thinking of this, Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief, as if her spirits had been elevated.

She's said everything she needed to say and hinted at everything she needed to, so now she finally doesn't have to worry anymore.

However, she then thought of the photos she had taken and felt that it was a waste to leave them like this, so she muttered to herself:

Should we threaten Xiu?

[Should I ask him to date me?]

Oh dear, this is so embarrassing. But I can't do something he'd hate, yet I really want to do it. It's such a difficult choice...

I thought about it for a long time.

Ran finally came to her answer and said seriously, "Sonoko, I think we should tell that good friend. It's better to have a short pain than a long one, and it won't be as painful if we find out sooner."

Sonoko nodded in agreement, then cautiously asked, "Ran, if this happened to you, what would you do after you found out the truth?"

Xiaolan smiled brightly: "That's absolutely impossible. My mom isn't that kind of person, and she would never do such a thing."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Sonoko nodded in agreement, then picked up the beverage cup from the air conditioner on the table and started drinking air, her eyes darting around nervously.

Naoko Takei suddenly said weakly, "I don't have a mother, I have no idea what to do..."

Ran and Sonoko's expressions immediately changed, and they comforted their good friend together.

They actually forgot about this most important thing and have been talking about it for ages. That's really awful.

Naoko Takei responded to her two good friends' apologies with a very gentle smile.

She didn't take it to heart at all, after all, her mother had passed away when she was young, and she couldn't even remember what her mother looked like, only having a vague concept of her.

Chapter 0162: The First Flight

night.

The starlight was dim.

Shiraishi Osamu and the others had finished dinner, but unfortunately, Sato Miwako still hadn't gone home.

While Junhui was washing the dishes, Shiraishi Osamu whispered to Miyano Akemi, "By the way, it's time now. It's your turn. Where did you hide the money?"

"Oh……"

Miyano Akemi then remembered the ten billion yen, quickly took a key from her bag, handed it to Shiraishi Osamu, and whispered:

"I'm sorry, I forgot. I hid the money in Beika Town, Fourth Street..."

She muttered something under her breath.

Shiraishi Osamu didn't speak, he just kept nodding, his eyes gradually brightening, and his mood couldn't help but improve.

If he gets his hands on this billion yen, he probably won't have to worry about money anymore. Maybe he can even open a few more barbecue branches under the "397" brand, and then make money from money. He can just live a carefree life.

And at this time...

click!

As the door opened, a woman's voice rang out—

"I am back."

Welcome back.

Shiraishi Osamu quickly replied, and then saw Sato Miwako walk over after changing her shoes.

She glanced at Akemi Miyano, who was sitting on the sofa looking uneasy, and asked curiously, "Have we had guests?"

"Hello, I'm Akemi Miyano." Akemi Miyano didn't dare to be negligent and quickly stood up to greet her.

"Hello, Miwako Sato." After saying this, Miwako Sato sat down wearily on the sofa and stretched her sore shoulders.

She's exhausted today.
