Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"That's not the case. To be more precise, it's just going with the flow. As long as there is a risk mitigation plan with a low overall cost, Sigong Huangguang will definitely choose it. Sigong Huangguang is not stupid, but many times he does stupid things not because he is stupid, but because he is bad."

Doesn't Sigong Huangguang know that as long as the seawall is built higher, it will be safer and the risks in the future will be lower? After all, it's just a matter of money. For a typical landlord capitalist like Sigong Huangguang, it would cost him his life to take less land. What's more, he may not have a say in the board of directors, so it can't be considered as him perfunctorily treating Sayoko.

Huang Guang might not be unaware of the Sigong Holy Stone's mere exploitation of human nature, but he didn't care since he wasn't the one dying anyway.

"And..." Hachiman smiled and continued, "Have you ever considered that if something really goes wrong with the nuclear power plant, we will actually be one of the people who benefit the most?"

If Shinomiya Huangguang is really kicked out of the board of directors because of the nuclear power plant problem and loses control of the power company, besides Shinomiya Shengshi, wouldn't Kaguya also be a strong competitor?

"Well, that's true." Sayoko, who has always focused on safety issues, has not considered the issue of interests.

He felt a little disappointed. If he had to weigh the pros and cons, Hachiman could just wait for the time bomb to explode and reap the benefits. From the perspective of the strategy to attack the Shinomiya family, the right choice for Hachiman at this moment was to sit back and watch the nuclear power plant fail.

But Sayoko felt bad.

"I don't think this is a good idea." At this time, Kaguya, who had been silent all along, directly spoke out to object.

Hachiman smiled but said nothing, allowing Kaguya to continue expressing her opinion.

"When I was in college, I studied the Chernobyl nuclear power accident, which was a level 7 nuclear power accident. Even though the Soviet Union's response was resolute enough, the consequences were still very serious. Not only did a large number of people become sick, but Chernobyl itself became a dead city. I... I don't think Japan today can have the determination of the Soviet Union back then. Once a nuclear power accident of level 6 or above occurs, with the current political arena and Japan's corrupt system, it will only expand the scope of victims."

Although Kaguya Shinomiya is still a little naive, she has a clear understanding of the degree of corruption in the political arena that she controls.

Then Kaguya looked at Hachiman, and Sayoko also looked at Hachiman, as if they were expecting something.

Yawata said slowly, "You probably still don't understand clearly what will happen to Japan if a nuclear accident like Chernobyl happens. Given the nature of Japan's political arena, they will discharge unfiltered nuclear waste water directly into the sea and spread it around the world with the ocean currents. And in Japan, because of the rain cycle, we and our children will sooner or later enjoy this radioactive rain."

Hachiman stood up and said, "Although it is easiest to reap the spoils by watching a fire from the other side of the river, I will not stand idly by and watch. I will not say anything big about serving the country and the people. I already have two children, and they are still young. I don't want them to grow up with an extra finger or a missing toe, so I have to take care of this matter."

Immediately, smiles appeared on the faces of both girls. This guy was indeed different.

Some people like to talk about ideas, beliefs, and emotions on stage, but what they are thinking about in their hearts are only interests, power, and money.

Some people always say that there is no gain without hard work, but there is always a surge of passion in their hearts from time to time.

Kaguya and Sayoko are actually the kind of women who are somewhat literary. After all, they have never experienced poverty, so they are more likely to have a good impression of things that serve the country and the people.

Hachiman smiled and said, "Do you suddenly feel that you have not entrusted the right person? There are not many capitalists like me who have principles and feelings."

Sayoko nodded innocently and almost said that you are right. But Kaguya spat and said how can you praise yourself like that.

Then Hachiman sat down and continued, "However, although we need to prevent such tragedies from happening, we must also know how to fight and not sacrifice ourselves, so we need to take a detour. Otherwise, direct threats will be useless. Neon Electric will not pay to reinforce the seawall, let alone redesign the storage space for backup batteries. Just paying is secondary. It is harder to get them to admit that they were wrong than to die."

“So how do we actually do it? I will definitely give you my full support,” Kaguya said.

"Have you forgotten what I'm best at?" Hachiman pointed at himself.

"Pick up girls?" Kaguya asked with a question mark.

Hachiman tutted in dissatisfaction. This was just not polite: "We agreed not to mention it. Don't bring up the past."

He can pick up girls? That's a slander. He likes to be passive.

Sayoko was much more serious. She said, "You mean the media channels you control? You want to wage a war of public opinion?"

Hachiman snapped his fingers lightly, then said to Kaguya: "Watch carefully and learn well, be smarter, and don't just get angry with me all day long."

He felt good about scolding, and then it was Kaguya's turn to be unhappy. Sayoko suddenly became the kid next door.

Kaguya curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but did not refute.

"It is useless to force Sigong Huangguang, so we need to form public opinion."

"But there is no problem with the operation of NEPCO itself. How can we attract the public's attention and make them protest against the safety of nuclear power plants?" Kaguya started to argue seriously, as if to show that she was not an idiot.

Yawata waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's do it step by step. First of all, there is no problem with the operation of the Niden Corporation. Then, why don't we let it have problems? What is the public most sensitive about nuclear power plants?"

"A-Safety?" Sayoko answered.

Yawata nodded. The people of this island nation, in particular, had a fear of nuclear weapons engraved in their DNA.

"To be precise, it should be explosion. The key words 'nuclear power + explosion' are enough to make all Japanese netizens ecstatic."

In order to prevent the nuclear power plant from exploding, Hachiman decided to blow it up first. This is an incredible way of thinking.

Kaguya and Sayoko seemed surprised by Hachiman's thinking and did not speak for a long time.

"Of course, the explosion alone is definitely not enough. Such an obvious thing will easily allow Sigong Huangguang to find out the clues. Therefore, we need someone to take the blame."

Chapter 97 Chapter

It was a quiet night at the Fushima Nuclear Power Plant. As it was far away from residential areas, it was very deserted at night. Although there were security patrols, it was more of a formality than a reality. After all, there were iron nets that were high enough that even wild animals could not get in. As for thieves, who would dare to steal into the nuclear power plant?

But suddenly, the security guard seemed to see something moving in the bushes. He walked over slowly and saw a pair of bright eyes in the darkness.

"I was scared. I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be just a wild cat." The security guard said with relief.

"Hahaha, Fujii, you are still young. This is the suburbs after all, and there are still a lot of wild animals around at night. There was once a bear foraging next to the iron fence, and we were scared to death at that time." The old senior next to him said with a smile.

The two security guards walked away slowly, smoking. After a while, a girl in all-black combat uniform and the believers in uniform behind her showed up.

Yukinoshita Kagerou stuck out her tongue and said, "It was a close call. We were almost discovered. My brother-in-law is such a jerk. He always leaves these troublesome things to me."

Tianxuan next to her glanced at her sideways, it was obvious that she was having a lot of fun.

After a while, a nimble believer came to report: "Master, the bomb has been installed and can be detonated at any time."

Yang Yan nodded and asked, "Have you called the fire truck?"

"The police were called three minutes ago," someone answered.

"The weight of the bomb is accurate, don't burn the entire crew, or we won't be able to escape."

After all, even Yangyan had never done such a horrifying thing as blowing up a nuclear power plant. When she first heard this absurd idea from Hachiman, it took her a while to come back to her senses.

But after all, it was her brother-in-law's order, and she didn't even refuse. After all, she firmly believed that if a dog licked her hard enough, she would get everything she wanted in the end.

"No problem. We just installed the bomb in the low warehouse where the backup batteries are stored. It is far away from the three units. The weight of the bomb is enough to cause a small explosion and fire, but it will not spread."

Yang Yan pursed his lips and finally made the decision: "Okay, let's start it."

Then, about ten minutes later, explosions and flames were heard from the Fushima nuclear power plant. The billowing smoke made the fire look very large, and suddenly the whole of Japan began to boil.

The culprit has already boarded a plane back to Tokyo.

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

The next day, inside the Shinomiya family's mansion, Shinomiya Shengshi was watching the news about a helicopter spraying water to put out a fire on TV. He looked somewhat calm, with Shinomiya Mingyezhu sitting next to him.

Sigong Shengshi asked the maid, "Where is my brother now? Is he not up yet?"

The maid whispered, "Mr. Huang Guang has received people from the Neon Electric Company this morning and is no longer in the mansion."

Shigong Mingyezhu said softly, "Public opinion has already been hyped up, and the speed is very fast. Twitter, FB, and TIKTIK have all circulated videos of the nuclear power plant explosion and thick smoke. Everyone has begun to question the safety of the nuclear power plant and the cause of the explosion. I'm afraid Shigong Huangguang's life will be difficult now."

But Ming Yezhu looked at Sigong Shengshi and found that he had a hint of displeasure on his face: "Why, are you unhappy?"

Sigong Shengshi said softly: "It's too small."

"what?"

"I said, the fire is too small, it will be extinguished before it can spread to the unit, and the operation of the nuclear power plant itself will not be greatly affected. In other words, even if Nippon Electric Corporation will have some public pressure, it is not enough to simply use this incident to force the big brother to step down or even have him sentenced."

Ming Yezhu opened his eyes wide and said, "Shengshi, you don't want to..."

Shengshi chuckled twice and said, "I was originally waiting for an earthquake and a tsunami, enough to cause an accident in the power plant, and then the core of the nuclear power plant would melt. Only in this way would an accident similar to the Chernobyl level 7 accident be in line with my expectations. What a pity."

He said calmly, and these words made Ming Yezhu feel a little creepy. This guy was indeed a hero, both in terms of his years of endurance and his courage to sacrifice thousands of lives for his own success.

"And it is obvious that someone is manipulating this matter." Sigong Shengshi said.

Ming Yezhu frowned slightly: "How did you know?"

"Oh, public opinion ferments too quickly. A traditional antique like me, brother, doesn't understand the Internet, so he won't be too sensitive to it. But for me, the speed of spread is too fast. It's as if it was prepared before the explosion. But there is one thing I don't understand." He said softly.

"whats the matter?"

"Since even this explosion could be someone's doing, why didn't they choose to target the crew instead of the insignificant resource warehouse? This would not be a big deal to Big Brother at all, and would only remind Big Brother of his own weaknesses. Where exactly is the benefit of this matter? Was it the revenge of the Shijo family? This is really not plausible."

This was something that Sigong Shengshi could not figure out no matter what; it was too confusing.

"Anyway, I think since someone has taken the initiative to leave, there will definitely be others who will follow. We just have to watch."

However, Sigong Shengshi's tone was not very good, because a big hidden bomb might be detonated prematurely because of such a trivial matter, and he would not get the result he wanted.

Who on earth is responsible for this? How stupid, he thought to himself.

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

Kagerou rushed into Hachiman's office in a hurry, but saw Shinomiya Kaguya sitting on Hachiman's lap with her back to her. When she saw Kagerou coming in, she was startled and quickly jumped down and started to tidy up her clothes.

"You don't even know how to knock before coming in? Do you know how to respect others?" Hachiman was a little annoyed after being caught.

Yang Yan's eyes widened: "I risked my life to go to Fushima to blow up the power station for you, and after I came back, you said I didn't respect you? Hikigaya Hachiman, hello!"

Hachiman thought about it and felt that it was indeed a bit too much, so he said, "So what do you want?"

"I also want the same service as the secretary!" Yang Yan said.

As a result, Kaguya Shinomiya glared at her and said, "You are sick, aren't you?"

She didn't want to lose everything to a man in the end. Then Hachiman waved his hand and asked the two to be quiet. Hachiman asked about the explosion of the nuclear power plant. Generally speaking, he was quite satisfied. No unit was hit, and the firefighters arrived in time, and burned down the underground warehouse of the backup power supply.

The public's emotions have begun to ignite, and now all that's missing is a decisive factor. However, as mentioned before, Hachiman does not intend to take the blame himself, and the final detonation will be left to others.

Chapter 98 Chapter

Sigong Huangguang was watching a news program on TV reviewing the fire at the nuclear power plant. Preliminary investigation showed that it was caused by a fire in the wiring in the underground warehouse, but the possibility of human error could not be ruled out for the time being. However, the media's coverage was no longer about why the nuclear power plant caught fire, but rather about the safety design risks of the nuclear power plant.

Although the media controlled by Sigong Huangguang had begun trying to divert attention, such as a group of people suspected of arson that night, the public opinion initiated on the Internet caused Sigong Huangguang to suffer a complete defeat.

At this moment, a maid came in and reported: "Mr. Huang Guang, Secretary-General Uchida said that the Prime Minister wants to meet with you."

Huang Guang was naturally in an annoyed mood and waved his hand to let her go out. The characteristic of the Internet is that whenever something arouses public attention, many previously insignificant things will be dug up, such as the fact that the cabinet had given the green light to the approval of land and construction plans, which has now been dug up.

People began to question the safety of nuclear power plants and put the blame on the cabinet that approved the land and the plan. Under pressure from public opinion, the cabinet naturally wanted to find the culprit.

At this time, Shinomiya Sayoko slowly walked in and said, "Father, we have found out that someone in the safety engineering department was bribed by the Shijo family, and the assessment report they compiled was taken to the Internet by the Shijo family and fermented."

"Hmph, that family, it's a pity that Yunying didn't blow them to death at that time." After saying that, Sigong Huangguang put on his coat, as if he was going out.

At this time, Sayoko asked, "Father, where are you going? Don't you have an appointment with the head of the cabinet this afternoon?"

However, Sigong Huangguang snorted coldly: "If you don't deal with the people on the board of directors, what's the point of meeting the cabinet chief."

Although Sigong Huangguang himself was not willing to spend money on security upgrades, since things had come to this point he had no choice but to go with the trend.

Fortunately, Shijo made a bad move, and this incident was not enough to drag him down.

"Then I'll go with my father too." Shinomiya Sayoko said quickly.

"No need. You should follow up on the negotiations with Alstom and entertain the visiting negotiators. This is the key point. However, the noise can't affect me." Sigong Huangguang said calmly.

Sayoko nodded quickly, then watched him leave, with only a faint smile on her cheek.

Although they failed to use the safety issue of the nuclear power plant to attack Shinomiya Huangguang this time, Sayoko was not disappointed. Being able to avoid greater accidents made her feel a greater sense of accomplishment. Hachiman also comforted her and told her not to worry, because the best place to attack Shinomiya Huangguang was not actually the nuclear power plant issue.

Even if something really happened, with the relationship between the Shinomiya family and the cabinet, they could acquit the top executives of NEC, and at most they would say in public that they were injured but not fatal. Hachiman's policy has always been to not take action, but if he does, he must hit the snake in its weakest part.

Then, it's time for her to prepare for the snake's weak spot.

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

The next day, Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai returned to the Shinomiya family after a long absence. The main reason was that they left in a hurry and a little bit in anger, so they didn't take many precious items with them, such as the ebony comb left by their mother. Therefore, she came today to get her things back.

But when she stepped into the door, she saw Shinomiya Nayatake waiting here. The woman who she once thought was her mother said sincerely: "You are finally back, Kaguya, have you had breakfast?"

Kaguya didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but her tone of genuine concern for him made Kaguya unable to hold back and face her: "I'm here to take back my mother's things. We promised that I won't reveal your identity, and you can't prevent me from moving out. You don't want to go back on your word, do you?"

Even if she regrets it, she won't listen to the other party anymore.

But Ming Yezhu shook his head gently and said, "I have asked the servants to prepare breakfast. Let's eat before leaving."

Kaguya frowned slightly, really feeling a little strange. This woman seemed to love her, but she was full of calculations everywhere, including using her identity as a mother to alienate her and Hachiman.

But if you say that this woman is purely using her, her greatest value now, which is her identity, is firmly in Ming Yezhu's hands. She also knows that she is just her mother's sister, so there is no need for her to pretend like this.

But it doesn't matter if I don't understand. To be honest, looking at her face that looks just like her mother, Kaguya really doesn't want to face her.

"Shengshi wants to see you. Let's sit together and have breakfast." Just when Kaguya wanted to refuse, Ming Yezhu said again.

After a moment's silence, Kaguya glanced at Hayasaka Ai, only to see Hayasaka Ai also nodded. Finally, Kaguya nodded helplessly.

Ming Yezhu said happily, "Do you want rice or oatmeal with milk? I think today's grilled fish is quite fresh."
