Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

This matter could be a big deal or a small one, so he told Sayoko what happened just now, but she just lowered her head and said nothing.

At this time, the press conference ended, and Shinomiya Masamune, sitting in a wheelchair not far from the two of them, ordered: "Sayako, come here!"

Sayoko lowered her head and explained to Hachiman: "Although Masamune was indeed not kind to me, he was actually right about one thing. When my parents died in a car accident, they left behind a large amount of property. If Masamune had not come forward to protect me, I think I would have been sold abroad by my uncle and aunt. He... has done me a favor. Even if he wants to beat me, I can't betray him."

"Sayoko!" Masamune urged again from a distance.

Sayoko bowed her head and apologized to Hachiman, then left with heavy steps.

What a silly girl, Hachiman thought to himself.

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

It was already dusk when Hachiman returned to the Shinomiya household. The progress on Haruno's side was quite smooth. Generally speaking, according to his marketing tactics, he would have to publicize it in a big way before the press conference to create hype. Unfortunately, this time he could only do it secretly, after all, he had to take advantage of the popularity of the shared bicycles.

Originally, if he wanted to make up for the long-term publicity, it would have been best for him to stay and participate in the meeting, but in the end he had to leave and return to the Shinomiya family.

Hachiman was still worried about Sayoko's safety after all. The residual warmth from the woman's hugging his head at noon still made her unforgettable.

Of course, he also knew that from the perspective of interests, throwing away Sayoko, who was no longer of any use, would maximize the benefits, but he seemed unable to be so hard-hearted.

But just as he was heading to Bajiao Villa, a young girl stopped in front of him and said with a smile, "Hello, uncle."

"You are the daughter of Shinomiya Yunying, your name is Lingzi?" Hachiman said with some uncertainty.

"Oh, I didn't expect uncle to have such a good memory. He is worthy of being the Chiba Sea King. He has a special impression of girls' words?" Lingzi said playfully.

"Should I mean that I have a special impression of girls with noble blood?" Not knowing the other person's background, Hachiman chose to tease her gently and see how she would react.

"Then...if I help your uncle, can you not go to Sayoko's place tonight?" Reiko curled up her hands and waved them gently up and down, her cherry-colored lips showing a gentle smile.

Hachiman raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's the reason?"

"Sayako seems to still have illusions about the Shinomiya family and Shinomiya Masamune and his son. If she is not taught a memorable lesson, she will continue to play ostrich like this." Reiko said with a little coldness.

Hachiman was puzzled and asked, "Is this the instruction from Shigong Yunying?"

But Lingzi shook her head and said, "Father seems to have calmed down a lot after being taught a lesson by you. Now he is dreaming of getting something for himself. Well, what I want to do does not conflict with my father, so let him be."

Hachiman walked straight towards the yard, seemingly ignoring this somewhat crazy girl. However, her mobile phone showed the photo of him and Sayoko when they first met that day.

Chapter 86: Chain of Suspicion

Yawata took the phone directly. Reiko was not worried at all that he would destroy the evidence, so such important things would naturally be backed up.

Hachiman was looking through the photo on his phone of him handing clothes to Sayoko, who was only wearing underwear, and thought to himself that the girl had pretty good photography skills.

"Can you give me a copy? I'll keep it for my collection."

Lingzi's eyes widened. She had never seen such a shameless person.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I was just kidding. Sayoko showed me her underwear photos for no reason in order to apologize. It was because you used these photos to threaten her." Hachiman's mind was as clear as a mirror and he figured out the connection at once. No wonder Sayoko, who looked like a good girl, would act so out of line. It turned out that there was a reason for it. It's a pity that her purity was not enough.

There was a hint of admiration in Lingzi's eyes. This guy is really too perceptive.

"No one else knows about it yet, so if you don't go to Basho Villa, I will return all the photos to you. Otherwise, even if you can save Sayoko today, you and her will be despised and die by the entire Shinomiya family tomorrow." Reiko's words were gentle but threatening.

Hachiman threw the phone back to Reiko and walked towards the courtyard.

"Do you think I'm kidding?!" Lingzi's voice couldn't help but rise.

Hachiman said in a somewhat bored tone: "You can try."

It was an unintentional sound, but it made you feel a chill. Looking at Hachiman who was leaving, Reiko suddenly laughed, broke the flip phone in her hand and threw it casually into the grass beside the corridor.

She slowly smiled: "Well, never mind. Snow White might also encounter a domestic violence prince, and the one who saves the princess might be Aquaman. Hope sometimes turns into deeper despair..."

She murmured to herself as she watched Hachiman leave.

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

Sayoko lowered her head and stood in front of Shinomiya Masamune like a maid. The atmosphere in the villa was very depressing.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Zhengzong, if I say I have never let you down, will you believe me?"

Shinomiya Masamune laughed and said, "I want to believe it, but I can't believe it, Sayoko. I can't even believe that you looked so pitiful that night. Was it just to fool me?"

Sayoko gently raised her head and said, "I am your wife. If I were going to betray you, why would I follow you back today?"

Shinomiya Masamune was stunned. He never expected that the usually gentle, well-behaved and obedient woman would now learn to refute him.

"You have a silver tongue. Did you learn that from him?" he said suddenly.

But Sayoko showed a trace of pain on her face and said, "Because I still want to save our marriage. If I keep swallowing my anger, our relationship will only become more rigid. If I want to say what I have learned in the past two days, it is just this."

Moreover, the figure of that man appeared in Sayoko's mind. Another reason was that if she didn't strengthen her mind, she was really worried that one day she would fall into his arms.

She didn't want to be a bad woman.

"If that's the case, then tell me what traps are hidden in this shared bicycle project, and what traps he saw but I overlooked!" Shinomiya Masamune said firmly, making Sayoko feel like she had hit a thick wall.

"Why do you care so much about the success or failure of a project? Neither the Shinomiya family nor you are short of this little money, right?" Sayoko said with a little pain, but what she said was true. If they throw down more than ten billion, it's a loss, and it's not a big sum for Masamune himself.

"Why? You ask why I care so much? Are you feeling sorry for me? Do you think I'll lose to that commoner who relied on a woman to get to the top?"

Perhaps more than 1 billion is not important to Shinomiya Masamune, but his overly sensitive self-esteem and Sayoko's attitude towards Hachiman made him unable to accept that he lost to that man, and could not accept that he fell easily into his trap.

Shinomiya Masamune grabbed her hand and used his cane to vent his anger on her: "Who do you think I am? I am the eldest grandson of the Shinomiya family, the man who will control the economic lifeline of Japan in the future. You actually pity me?"

"There is no trap or loophole at all. He is just taking advantage of your..."

Sayoko didn't continue talking because of her suspicion caused by inferiority complex. The crutches fell like raindrops, and the pain was so severe that she couldn't organize her words. Even if she said it, what awaited her might be more exposed abuse.

But at some point, there was an extra person in the courtyard. He grabbed Shigong Masamune's cane, forcibly pulled out his cane and threw it aside.

"You!? Why are you here? Get out!" Shinomiya Masamune, whose crutches were thrown away, shouted loudly as if he had suffered great humiliation.

Hachiman ignored the man who was in a state of madness and helped Sayoko up in front of him.

"Don't touch her, I said, don't touch her!" Shinomiya Masamune shouted while sitting in a wheelchair.

Hachiman helped Sayoko aside. Sayoko raised her head and looked at him with some surprise.

Then Hachiman walked to the opposite side of Masamune and looked down at him. He let out a breath lightly. If he relied on his own will, even if he was disabled, he would beat this guy half to death. It would be fine if his lower body was disabled, but even his temperament became as feminine and irritable as a woman.

"Shinomiya Masamune, let me give you a choice. Since you think I have set up some hidden traps in the shared bicycles, how about exchanging projects with you? I will continue to be responsible for the shared bicycles, and you will be responsible for the shared power banks I have on hand." Hachiman said softly in a calm tone.

Shinomiya Masamune raised his head and opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it. How could such a good thing happen?

Swapping items that are likely to be defective with his own carefully laid out items.

"No way, what good will this do you?"

Hachiman smiled and said, "Benefits? Shinomiya Masamune, are you mistaken? Whether it is a bicycle or a power bank, there is no essential difference to me. I can make them successful, that's all."

As if being mocked, Shinomiya Masamune became even angrier, just because of what happened today he suddenly thought, what if, the shared bicycle project was not a problem in the first place, but the power bank project was a problematic project, and he designed it this way just to trap himself?

Shinomiya Masamune's eyes flickered, but Hachiman looked at him with a hint of pity.

People like Shinomiya Masamune, once they fall into the chain of suspicion, will fall into endless suspicion.

Chapter 87: Complete Fall

Shinomiya Masamune really didn't expect that Hachiman was willing to exchange the power bank for the bicycle, but his suspicious character determined that the first thing he considered was whether Hachiman had set any traps in this matter.

Maybe he did so much before to arouse my suspicion, just to make myself fall into his final move.

Hachiman looked at the changing expression of Shinomiya Masamune, which was uncertain, but what was certain was that his heart was shaken, so he smiled and continued to give the other party a choice.

"I understand your concerns. You are worried that I will set some traps. But, don't you understand what the flaws are in the shared bike industry?"

These words made Shinomiya Masamune's face look stern, and his head was spinning rapidly, but looking at his condescending expression, his thoughts seemed to be interrupted and he was powerless.

"Then I'll give you a second option. Since you don't want to exchange, I can acquire "docomo" from you." Sayoko, who was sitting next to him, also widened her eyes in astonishment. Didn't he say that there were problems with this industry? Why did he take over it?

Zhengzong asked the same question directly: "Don't you look down on shared bikes and think they have defects? Could it be that you were just deceiving me with words before?"

But Hachiman laughed and said, "It's just an industrial defect. Who in the industry hasn't encountered it before? It's just that you think the problem I encounter is the same as the problem you encounter in your hands?"

This is a blatant mockery of Shinomiya Masamune's incompetence. For the same problem, Hachiman was able to predict the problem in advance and propose a solution, but Shinomiya Masamune didn't even know where the problem lay.

"I am willing to pay 400 million yen to buy back "docomo" from you." Hachiman's true intentions were exposed, and the veins on Masamune's forehead bulged.

"How much money and favors do you think I spent at "docomo"? You want to take 400 million and get it for free?" Moreover, the price of 400 million was exactly the first offer made by Hachiman, and he snatched it from him by relying on his financial advantage. As a result, this guy specifically called out the price of 400 million, which was definitely intentional.

"That's right, these 400 million were earned from the stock market. If you think about it this way, it's really free." Hachiman said in a good mood.

"Even if this investment rots in my stomach, I won't give it to you." Shigong Masamune said coldly, but this also indirectly means that he is not as good as this guy. Why does he want to compete with Hachiman? Isn't it because...

"Look, this is just the temper of a child. We are all adults, so just focus on money." Hachiman taught earnestly.

Shinomiya Masamune's face became more and more ugly, and he had no way of telling whether Hachiman's words were true or false. If the shared bicycles themselves had no defects, and he was allowed to buy them for 400 million, wouldn't it be that Shinomiya Masamune had wasted a lot of money on promoting them?

All I can say is that the seeds of suspicion, like nesting dolls, are stacked one on top of the other, and ultimately, they lead to a dead end.

For Shinomiya Masamune, who was suspicious by nature and became even more gloomy after becoming disabled, this situation was almost unsolvable.

"Since you are unwilling to exchange or sell, then I will propose another transaction condition." Hachiman said softly.

Shinomiya Masamune looked at him with some confusion.

"I can tell you the future flaws of shared bikes and how to deal with them. That's my bargaining chip."

Shigong Masamune sneered and said, "You are so kind, how can I know whether your words are meant to influence my judgment."

Of course, this is possible.

But Hachiman shook his head and said, "Only in this transaction do you not need to worry about this. It's called a transaction. I put forward the bargaining chip, so naturally I want your exchange conditions. My condition is that you don't beat Sayoko again in the future."

Sayoko's heart seemed to be struck by someone. She pursed her lips and looked at Hachiman.

"What did you say?!"

"I said that as long as you don't beat Sayoko anymore, I will tell you the code to your wealth. With Sayoko as a bargaining chip to keep my promise, I will naturally not cheat you. Otherwise, if you relapse, I will have no way to deal with you, right?"

Hachiman looked at Shinomiya Masamune, but said to Sayoko who was leaning beside him: "I did use you before, so I will use this to make amends to you."

Don’t...be so nice to me, Sayoko tried her best to hide her emotions in her heart.

But this sentence seemed to completely ignite Shinomiya Masamune's anger. Wasn't he doing all this just to prove to Sayoko that he was better than Hachiman? Why didn't this woman understand? !

"How far do you want to humiliate me before you are satisfied?" he roared.

"A person must first humiliate himself before others can humiliate him. I heard from your father that you have a high level of education. I don't think you don't understand what this sentence means." Hachiman said calmly.

"Damn it..." Shinomiya Masamune subconsciously wanted to find his cane, but then he remembered that his cane was taken away and thrown away by Hachiman. He felt like a child who had lost his toy. Although he was angry, he was helpless.

"Okay, let's stop here." Someone else came to visit the Banana Villa.

"Father..." After seeing his father Huang Guang, Shigong Masamune regained some of his sanity.

"Mr. Huang Guang, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon." Hachiman said with a smile, but Huang Guang heard a hint of sarcasm in his ears, but he just laughed it off.

He said: "Let's end today's matter here, Hikigaya-kun. I can agree to your request just now. I don't need your bargaining chips. I will let Masamune restrain himself and not be violent towards Sayoko. Is that okay?" Huang Guang touched his bald head and said calmly.

"Of course, this is the best, and I made a profit." There was a hint of surprise in Hachiman's eyes. It turned out that the levels were different.

Compared with Laozi, Zhengzong couldn't even keep calm and was led around by him.

"Father!" Shinomiya Masamune said in shock.

But Shigong Huangguang gently waved his hand to the servants and said, "Bring the young master to me first, and I will talk to Hikigaya-kun."

The bodyguard in suits following behind Huang Guang pushed Shigong Masamune away, and then Huang Guang spoke up and said, "I really didn't expect that you, Hikigaya-kun, have such ability. I am inferior to you. For Masamune in this matter, you are still too early as an opponent."

Looking at the entire process of Masamune's defeat, although Hachiman's investment vision is indeed unique, this is actually not too important. The Shinomiya family does not need innovation, they just need to buy innovation. More importantly, his insight into human nature has maximized Masamune's inferiority and suspicion of Sayoko, and he has achieved the best strategy by attacking her.

"Aren't you also taking this opportunity to observe my abilities?" Hachiman said with a nonchalant smile.

It was not a bad idea for Huang Guang to use Hachiman as a whetstone for Shinomiya Masamune, but he was also using Shinomiya Masamune as a touchstone to test Hachiman, in order to see his quality.

Compared to his own means of attacking people's hearts, Hachiman was terrified by the fact that this person could use his own son as a bargaining chip.

Chapter 88: Mental infidelity is also infidelity

It was about ten minutes later that Huang Guang returned to his room, but his room had become a mess, as if it had been ravaged by a storm.

The bodyguard in a suit looked at the boss and shrugged his shoulders, looking somewhat helpless. After all, the son doesn't feel bad about selling his father's land, and no one can do anything about it when the young master wants to vent his anger on the valuable calligraphy and paintings in the room.

Huang Guang waved his hand, asking the bodyguard to leave, and then calmly said to Zheng Zong: "Have you vented enough?"

"Father, why did you compromise with that guy? You don't know how he humiliated me, and that woman Sayoko!" Shinomiya Masamune said in a questioning tone.

"Are you really in love with Sayoko?" Huang Guang asked directly.
