Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

A gentle night breeze blew by, bringing a touch of coolness, but Gu De and Suzuki Ayako felt incredibly warm.

Ayako Suzuki sat there quietly, enjoying this rare moment of peace and happiness.

The city lights in the distance twinkled like countless stars in the night sky.

The moon moved through the clouds, sometimes revealing its bright face, sometimes being obscured by the clouds, adding a touch of mystery and romance.

Ayako Suzuki rested her head on Gu De's shoulder, her eyes slightly closed, her expression serene and content.

"Gu De, did anything happen between you and your mother today?"

Ayako Suzuki closed her eyes.

After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family.

Even after enjoying this moment of peace, one cannot escape the responsibilities in one's heart.

The sports car under the moonlight became a testament to their love, while the night view from the mountaintop became their most beautiful memory.

"You look a lot like your mother."

Gu De casually remarked.

Ayako Suzuki trembled; she naturally understood the meaning behind those words.

"Gu De, thank you."

Ayako Suzuki said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Thank you for telling me."

"However... if I were here, please don't have anything with Mother."

"May I?"

At this point, Ayako Suzuki looked intently at Gu De's face.

His eyes held determination and courage.

The Suzuki family is truly different!

Bold!

radical!

But it also carries a touch of tenderness!

Gu De nodded seriously.

A happy smile appeared on Ayako Suzuki's face.

............

............

Speechless, the chapter from two days ago still hasn't been released.

It has the air of a dynasty.

There's nothing more to say; everyone will vote with their feet.

Thank you all for your support!

Chapter 282: Let's go to Tottori Prefecture and have a chat with Toyama Kazuha?

Inside the office, Gu De sat on the sofa, looking at Ms. Sakihara Megumi with a calm gaze.

"Ms. Sakihara, there's no need for such gratitude."

Goo De's voice was gentle yet firm.

"I believe that justice exists outside the law, and it exists in a more noble form."

Gu De continued, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

"Law is merely the most basic constraint on human behavior."

He added, a hint of a relaxed smile in his voice.

With a hint of cynicism in his smile, Gu De spoke to Sakihara Megumi.

At this time, although the case of Megumi Sakihara and Kazuo Sakihara was not yet over, it was attracting a great deal of attention from the outside world, especially with the involvement of popular lawyer Eri Kisaki, which magnified and scrutinized every detail of the case.

The crimes committed by Kazuo Sakihara and Hiromasa Takahashi would be punishable by more than ten years in prison, even under Japanese law.

Megumi Sakihara knew perfectly well where her victory came from.

If it weren't for Gooder's timely warning, the listening device in the study might have already been discovered, and the police, or even her respected teacher Mori, might have followed the clues and uncovered more information.

Although theoretically she wouldn't face severe punishment, if the matter were made public, especially since it involved Kogoro Mouri, the social pressure would be enough to drive her to the brink of despair.

Therefore, Megumi Sakihara's gratitude towards Gu De was palpable.

“Mr. Gu De, if you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you.”

She stood up and bowed deeply to express her respect.

Gu De nodded slightly, his face still bearing that ambiguous smile.

In his view, people like Megumi Sakihara are not uncommon in the original series.

If we can get these people under our control, they might play an unexpected role at crucial moments.

After seeing Sakihara Megumi off, Gu De immediately had Tachibana Maya close the office door.

However, the phone on the table rang, breaking the brief silence.

"Hello?" Gu De answered the phone, stood up, and slowly walked to the window.

Outside the window, cars occasionally hurried by on the street, sunlight spilling onto the warm asphalt, creating patches of golden light. The shadows of the trees swayed gently in the breeze, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

“Mr. Gu De, I am Asai Shigemi.”

The voice of Asai Narumi came from the other end of the phone. She had previously told Gu De that she had discovered clues about the source of the dangerous powder and was tracking it down.

Gu De's thoughts were pulled back to reality by the phone call.

Tottori Prefecture?

He wondered to himself, could that be the location of the family that used puppets to sell dangerous powder?

Moreover, based on the timeline, there does seem to be some kind of connection between the two.

"I will continue to monitor the situation and will report to you promptly if anything happens."

Asai Narumi's voice was firm and calm.

“Very good. If time permits, I will come to meet you in person.”

Gu De responded earnestly.

He recalled that in the original series, the case of the Tottori Spider House mystery involved Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

This time, he might have the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Kazuha Toyama.

Gu De thought that Hattori Shizuka might leave the mansion out of concern for her son's safety.

With that in mind, he decided to find an opportunity to call Toyama Kazuha later.

"boss."

Maya Tachibana walked up to Gu De with a cup of fragrant coffee in her hand, her expression indicating that she had something to report.

Gu De's gaze inadvertently swept over Miyano Akemi not far away, and then he said to Tachibana Maya, "You and Akemi have worked hard these past few days. Let's go enjoy a kaiseki meal tonight."

"Yamei, go to the restaurant next door and make the arrangements."

As Gu De spoke, he pulled a wad of banknotes from his pocket.

Akemi Miyano immediately accepted the money respectfully, straightened her clothes, and left the office.

"Speak, what is it?"

Gu De gently pulled Tachibana Maya over and made her sit next to him.

“Shuichi Akai has been following Akemi Miyano recently, and she discovered it yesterday.”

Maya Tachibana's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

"After that, I followed Shuichi Akai and found his hiding place," she added, a rare gentleness appearing on her usually fierce face.

"I see."

Gu De nodded slightly, but in his heart he was thinking about how Amuro Tooru's subordinate, Kazami Yuya, had been searching for Akai Shuichi.

Kazami Yuya was unaware of Akai Shuichi's true identity; he only knew some of his physical characteristics.

Gu De pondered to himself that although he needed Shuichi Akai's help for the time being, it seemed too boring to let Shuichi Akai live such an easy life.

Perhaps we should find something for Shuichi Akai to do.

"Mayo, I'll be taking Miyano Akemi out this afternoon."

"Gu De said, while gently patting Tachibana Maya.

"Why don't you take a day off?" His words carried a hint of concern.

Gu De thought to himself, Tachibana Maya's figure seemed to be a bit fuller than before, and the effect of this slap was obvious.

"Then I'll wait for you tonight."

Maya Tachibana whispered in Gu De's ear, then quickly stood up and straightened her business attire.

"She's back!" Tachibana Maya glanced at the office door, then quickly resumed her professional demeanor.

...

"Mr. Gu De, what do you need me to do later?"

Akemi Miyano stood at the entrance of Teitan High School, feeling somewhat confused.

Her gaze fell on the students who were leaving the school one after another, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

These students enjoyed their own freedom, while she and her sister were like caged birds, controlled and imprisoned by the organization.

"It's nothing, I'm just waiting for a friend."

Gu De simply answered Miyano Akemi's question.
