Please make money.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ai, the guest list involves customer privacy, we really..."

"Okay, I understand." Alia stood up and patted the other person's arm: "You have worked hard."

The executive wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Whether it is hard or not, how should this matter be calculated?

Delivering a bomb to a high-end hotel is more than just a threat.

In Japan, such cases of intimidation are not uncommon. Many companies and even the Metropolitan Police Department itself have received similar threatening letters.

But most of them are just pure threatening letters, and very few of them actually take action.

"Hasn't the Metropolitan Police Department arrived yet?"

"on the way."

"Where's Mr. Lei?"

"I feel better now. I drank some glucose. Maybe I was too tired recently, and I was too excited at the time."

An Lele shrugged: "I thought Mr. Lei was not afraid of anything, but I didn't expect that he was afraid of fire."

"He's not afraid of fire, he's afraid something will happen to me, just like my parents."

Prime Minister Lei is a sentimental man. He regards Alia's mother Lu Wuxia as his adoptive mother and is very grateful to her.

If Arya also turned into fireworks here, the possibility of him going crazy and taking revenge would be higher than simply collapsing.

So the convenience store owner who sells ice cream escaped a disaster...

Alia took a deep breath and said, "How long will it take to buy the Xingye Hotel?"

"...Ah?" An Lele was stunned for a moment: "Buy a hotel?"

"Buy it. There is a mole in the hotel. He has controlled the employees. Someone leaked the information to the person who did it. Otherwise, it won't be so accurate."

"Then I'll go ask Mr. Lei." An Lele suddenly became serious and trotted to a rest room nearby.

Ailia raised her hand and called the manager over: "Come, come here for a moment."

"Miss Ai, what can I do for you?"

"I admire your work attitude, so in ten minutes I need you to find out for me, as a hotel manager, who are on duty and what those who are not on duty are doing in the fire incident. Give me an answer within one hour, no matter what method you use."

“???” The hotel manager widened his eyes.

"If you can do it, you can get a promotion and a raise. If you can't, I will suspect you are the traitor. If you are lucky, you will be sent to jail. If you are unlucky, you will get into a car accident and disappear on a small road with no surveillance. Please make every effort to prove your innocence."

"This--I--Miss Ai?!"

"Don't try to reason with me. From now on I don't trust anyone in your hotel, including you."

Alia said, looking at her watch, "It's been 21 minutes now. My patience has a limit, okay?"

"..."

Alia put down her hand, straightened the other person's collar, and showed a peaceful smile.

"Come on - you can do this."

Is it difficult? If it is difficult, then don’t do it!

"..."

"Miss! I bought it! 670 billion yen!" An Lele ran in: "One price!"

"Give them 700 billion, mobilize all their social forces, and ask them who has recently threatened to target me."

Those who run high-end hotels have extensive networks of contacts, which can be used in the current environment.

"Oh, okay... Also, someone from the Metropolitan Police Department is here. They said they want you to cooperate with the investigation, and they said they can't confirm it's kidnapping for now."

"You can't be sure it's a kidnapping? Who said that?"

"What patrol was that? And they said if it was a kidnapping case, it would need to be handed over to some countermeasures department. I didn't understand it either. Anyway, they had to go through the process."

"..."

Alia stood in place, slightly turning her head, revealing a dangerous look that An Lele had never seen before.

After several seconds, the 18-year-old girl smiled and said, "Please ask them to come over."

"Oh……"

……

……

"Miss Ai, please elaborate on what happened when you thought your loved ones were missing."

Two patrol chiefs who looked like they were from the professional group of the Metropolitan Police Department dealt with Alia very politely and followed the procedures.

Alia sat opposite them, holding a cup of tea, looking at the table, wondering what she was thinking.

What are you thinking about?

Of course I was thinking, how can we maintain public order when we are with insects like these?

Mr. Chuanyuan, I gradually understand your difficulties. I'm sure you think the same way!

"Miss Ai?"

"Which university did you graduate from?" Alia took a sip of tea and exhaled a breath of hot air.

"…Why is Miss Ai asking this?"

"I recruited an employee from the Legal Department. He graduated from the University of Tokyo and used to work in the Metropolitan Police Department. He is in the professional group like you, and he is in the gold watch group."

The two inspection chiefs looked at each other, subconsciously put away the gold watches on their wrists, and did not respond.

"He later quit the Metropolitan Police Department because he felt that the department was useless and could not help him find out the truth of the original case."

"..."

"Identity is a symbol that allows people to see who you are and what responsibilities you have. I am an entrepreneur and you are the police."

"Miss Ai——"

“But identity is also a kind of shackle, which means you cannot cross the boundaries defined by your identity. These boundaries are called rules.”

What are the rules? The rules are how the game is played, and they are the limitations that people in the circle need to accept as default.

Alia only broke Jidao's leg instead of recruiting Anlele's colleagues to do the job. This is following the rules.

But handing over a bomb without a word and kidnapping Alia's two sisters and guests is breaking the rules.

Throwing away rules can bring freedom to do whatever you want and unlimited happiness - but it also means making enemies of everyone who follows the rules.

People have always praised the courage of those who break the rules, but why do so many people choose to stay within the rules?

Because those who can make the rules are the strong, or even the strongest.

Breaking the rules and not being bound by them can only make you stronger than the people who make the rules.

Alia has this ability, but she doesn't believe that the other side has it too.

So I followed the rules of the game, and then got slapped in the face, and now you still want to play procedural justice with me?

"My two sisters, along with my two guests, were taken away by a fake ambulance. Half an hour has passed since then."

Alia put down her teacup and looked up at the two inspectors who were asking about the situation: "Do you know what we can do in half an hour?"

"Miss Ai, please calm down. We are asking about these situations now so that we can help you find the relevant ones as soon as possible-"

"Bang------"

With a muffled sound, Alia swept the teacup on the table away and stood up by the edge of the table.

The teacup flew and hit the wall, making a dull sound of breaking. The tea left wet marks on the beige wall, like spilled dark brown blood.

She leaned forward, lowering her voice, revealing some suppressed anger—

"What you should do now is to investigate all the surveillance cameras in the surrounding area! Question all the sentries and patrol cars! And pray that I won't go crazy because of this matter! And then put your entire Metropolitan Police Department on the fire - or do you think your so-called procedures are really useful for finding people?!"

"Miss Ai, I understand how you feel." The patrolman on the left raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm: "I—"

"What's your name?"

"..." The inspector subconsciously looked down at the ID hanging on his chest.

But then he realized that he had the urge to hide it.

It was obviously too late. Anyone could see his name tag and the word "Tanaka" on it.

"Le Le, contact the people at the Yakuza and ask them to take Mr. Tanaka's family on vacation somewhere else. It doesn't matter where, as long as he can't find them."

"Miss Ai!" Another patrol officer stood up suddenly: "You are committing a crime!"

"Now you know this is a crime? You can ask your colleagues to cooperate with you, go through the process, question everyone one by one, and hold a few seminars!"

Alia spread her hands and taunted with utmost arrogance: "Then I can ask the reporters to cooperate and issue a front-page obituary to your family, or consider a buy three get one free offer for the newly opened section of the cemetery? Do you believe that I have ten thousand ways to prevent you from catching me in any way?"

"Miss Ai, please respect yourself! Everything you say will be——"

"You two!" A voice came from the door. Kawagen Ichiro arrived just in time and interrupted them: "Tanaka! Watanabe!"

"...Kawagen?"

"Do you know them?" Alia pointed at the two inspectors.

"Miss, they are my former schoolmates." Kawagen Ichiro lowered his head slightly.

He actually had a higher starting point than the other two. When he joined, he was the patrol chief, and when he left, he was already a deputy police inspector who could be promoted to police captain immediately.

So if we really want to care about seniority, these two should call him senior. After all, the academic god can really crush the first half of life.

Arya sat down again, looking patient, and raised her hand.

"Since you two know Chuan Yuan, please take a seat. I was a little too aggressive just now."

The two inspectors breathed a sigh of relief, quickly softened their attitude, and followed him down the stairs.

"We understand how you feel, Miss Ai. Let's contact the police station and the traffic department immediately to check nearby cameras and traffic records."

"Yes! We will apply for relevant protection immediately after we return. Please give us the necessary time!"

Alia knocked on the table, and the sound of the knocking made the heartbeats of several people follow the rhythm in sync.

Then she stopped, which made the two patrol officers breathe a sigh of relief...

"If it requires any fees, please tell me, Chuanyuan, you can send them off and cooperate with the procedures."

After saying that, Alia turned and left, and An Lele followed closely behind her, and would not leave her side as long as Alia left the room.

However, while walking in the corridor, An Lele still looked at Alia's expression with some confusion.

"Miss, you're not angry?"

"No—does being angry do any good?"

"You looked so scary just now..."

"I have to have different attitudes towards different people. When facing the chaebols who can open a high-end hotel chain here, I am an equal at the same level regardless of the cost. I have to pay attention to whether they give me face or money. When facing the hotel executives, I am a boss with vicious means. When facing the Metropolitan Police Department, I am the person with excessive emotions. When facing the Yakuza -"

As she spoke, Alia stopped and looked at the Japanese-style room whose door was pushed open.

Inside the Japanese-style room, the man with tattooed arms who had met Alia before was sitting inside, with An and Yumiko sitting upright on the side.

What attitude should we have towards the Yakuza?

An Lele was thinking about this, and then she saw Ailia just greet the other party and then leave without looking back.

"Eh?" An Lele looked at the eldest lady's back, then looked at the brother with tattoos on his arms who was as confused as her.

Alia took two steps, turned around and pointed at the man with tattoos on his arms.

"I'll remember you, Inagawa-kai. Ten billion is not enough for twenty billion. Come talk to me after you've paid the price."

The man with the flowery arms suddenly became anxious and quickly stood up and wanted to say something.

An Lele subconsciously reached into the inner pocket of her clothes, and this action made the brother with tattoos suddenly calm down.

The latter knelt down on the tatami with a plop, and sat down solemnly with a loud and spirited voice.

"Please don't misunderstand - Miss Ai! We would never dare to offend you!"

Aaliyah stopped and looked back, her expression clearly suspicious.
