Chapter 645 is just a coincidence.
Chapter 645 is just a coincidence.
At first, Jiang Nian felt sorry for Baihezi, and his compassion was indeed stirring within him.
A pure and beautiful woman took great care of him, even scalding her own hand while making him a bowl of soup.
If a girl's hand is left with a scar, she'll probably regret it for the rest of her life.
The burn ointment that Jiang Nian gave to Bai Hezi was obtained from the system.
Regardless of Yuriko's motives for lurking around Jiang Nian, he couldn't bear to leave a scar on a girl's hand.
Was today's event really just a coincidence?
But why did Yuriko appear on the stairs precisely when I was talking to Zhou Zhou about Takeshi Tano?
Shaking his head, Jiang Nian was too lazy to think about so many things anymore.
In any case, neither the Tano family nor the Takahashi family will have a good ending.
Now that they'd acquired the missiles from him, Jiang Nian naturally wouldn't allow them to use them properly for military purposes. What a joke! Wouldn't that bring unnecessary trouble to China?
They need to make money while also dismantling several forces within the Japanese military.
Jiang Nian said that he still has a long time to go in Japan.
It all depends on whether Takeshi Tano or Suki Takahashi will give up first.
"Tanno-kun, I've returned with the weapons I purchased from Mr. An. Should we put these weapons into storage first?"
Taiya Tasa returned, looking travel-worn. He faced Takeshi Tano and asked anxiously.
After staring intently at Tadashi for a long while, Takeshi Tano slowly spoke, "Put it in the warehouse first. But, don't Mr. An's weapons usually arrive in three days? How come this time, you took out gold and got the goods right away?"
Looking at Daiya Tasa with a very deep gaze, Takeshi Tano's tone carried an indescribable meaning.
Stared at by Takeshi Tano, Daiya Tasa's heart pounded – could it be that Takeshi Tano has already guessed something?
impossible.
Tano Takeshi would never have guessed that he had already joined forces with Takahashi Somoki.
In situations like these, it's crucial not to scare yourself. After taking a deep breath, Tadashi finally managed to calm down.
"Tanno-kun, it's like this. According to Mr. An's rules, it is indeed three days after placing an order to receive the weapons."
This time, however, it was Takahashi Somoku who offended Mr. An. They ultimately chose to buy two missiles, but they cancelled all the previously ordered arms and returned them to Mr. An.
That's why we were able to get the weapons directly after paying enough gold.
There was nothing obviously wrong with Tasa Daiya's tone, except that there was a slight tremor in his voice, but he didn't notice it himself.
"So that's how it is. Taza-kun, how many years have you been following me?"
After listening to Daiya Taza's explanation, Takeshi Tano nodded seriously, but it was unclear whether he believed him or not.
However, he didn't bring up the topic again and instead changed the subject.
"It's been about seventeen years, I think? I don't remember very clearly."
Tadashi was taken aback; he hadn't expected Takeshi Tano to suddenly bring up this issue.
However, seeing how much older Takeshi Tano seemed to have aged in an instant, Daiya Tasa felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He has been following Takeshi Tano for so many years.
He believed that his Tasa family would always follow the Tano family. Who could have imagined that, just seventeen years later, he would choose to betray Tano Takeshi?
For a moment, Daiya Tasa was unable to calm down.
Life is unpredictable.
"So, you've been by my side for seventeen years already. I thought it was only seven years."
After a long silence, Takeshi Tano stared straight at Daiya Tasa and said this.
Daiya Taza's heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that Takeshi Tano was acting a little strange today.
Did Takeshi Tano guess that he had betrayed him?
No, that won't happen!
Very few people knew about his connection with Takahashi Somoku; even within the Tasa family, only a handful of people were aware of it.
"Tanno-kun, what should we do next?"
Tasaku Taiya changed the subject.
He felt that he couldn't continue talking to Takeshi Tano about the memories, otherwise he would soften his heart.
"Have someone put the weapons you brought into the warehouse first."
Takeshi Tano looked at Daiya Taza, as if he were looking at him, but also as if he were looking at someone else through Daiya Taza.
In this atmosphere, Daiya Tasaka felt extremely uncomfortable and didn't want to stay in the same room with Takeshi Tano any longer.
That's why, after hearing what Takeshi Tano said, Daiya Tasa responded and then turned and left Takeshi Tano's office.
Only Takeshi Tano was left in the office.
"Haha, haha, hahahaha!"
Takeshi Tano suddenly burst into wild laughter.
As the laughter grew, the sound gradually faded, the arrogance of the past gone, replaced by only desolation.
Takeshi Tano took out his personal cell phone. There was only one message on it, and it contained only one simple sentence: "Tasa Taiya betrayed you!"
The number that sent the message was a hidden virtual number, but Takeshi Tano knew perfectly well who was behind that number.
Therefore, Taiya Taza truly betrayed himself.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Takeshi Tano believed that no matter who betrayed him, Daiya Tasa would never betray him. Who could have imagined that at this critical juncture, the first person to betray him would be the one he trusted most?
He got up and slowly walked to the window and stood there.
Takeshi Tano saw that Daiya Tasa was leading a group of people, quickly moving things around.
Did Taza Daiya really buy this batch of weapons from Mr. An?
Takeshi Tano didn't believe it!
Even if he had considered this idea before, believing that Mr. An would never go against gold, and that even if he didn't cooperate with the Tano family, he would eventually cooperate with Daiya Tasa.
However, from Tano Takeshi's position, how could he possibly regard Mr. An as a person without any guile?
Since the other party dares to do such a thing, they must be unafraid of anything, so why would they cooperate with Daiya Taza?
Takahashi Somoku, what role did you play in all of this?
Hidden in the shadows of the room, Takeshi Tano took out the Tano family head's token.
Soon, a black figure appeared out of thin air in the room.
"Greetings, Patriarch!" The man in black knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
“Arrest Tassa Daiya and send someone to impersonate him and continue his activities.”
While fiddling with a small seal, Takeshi Tano gave orders to his men.
"Yes!"
After firmly agreeing to that statement, the man in black gradually disappeared from the room.
Tasaka Taiya, you betrayed me first, so you can't blame me.
At the villa, Jiang Nian sat in the tea room, leisurely sipping tea.
For Jiang Nian, drinking tea was merely a way to pass the time, since he usually gulped it down. Even if he tried to savor it slowly, a rough man like him couldn't really tell the difference between good and bad tea.
The reason I was at the tea room was because of Yuriko's invitation.
Just as Jiang Nian finished lunch and was about to rest for a while, Baihezi walked slowly to Jiang Nian and spoke softly.
"Mr. An, my mother left behind a packet of fine tea. I wonder if Yuriko would have the honor of inviting you to enjoy some tea with me?"
Yuriko's voice was soft and weak. In her gaze toward Jiang Nian, there was a timid plea, yet also a hint of stubbornness.
Under such gazes, Jiang Nian's hardened heart couldn't help but soften a little, and he nodded, agreeing to Yuriko's request.
Although they said they were enjoying tea together, it was really just that Yuriko sat next to him brewing tea, while Jiang Nian took the teacup that Yuriko handed him and took a sip of tea.
It has to be said that the tea brewed by Lily tastes quite different from the tea that Jiang Nian usually makes on a whim.
“Good tea!”
Finally, Jiang Nian remarked with admiration, "This is what I'm saying."
Upon hearing Jiang Nian's praise, Yuriko smiled faintly.
She looked up and glanced at Jiang Nian. When Jiang Nian noticed her gaze and looked over, Yuriko lowered her head shyly again.
This is the scene that Zhou Zhou saw when he arrived.
His brow furrowed slightly.
According to the information Zhou Zhou had previously obtained about Jiang Nian, Jiang Nian was clearly a straight man who was indifferent to women and didn't mince words with them. How come he seemed to have changed in front of this Yuriko?
Could it be that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman?
After expressing these sentiments, Zhou Zhou entered the tea room.
Because Zhou Zhou deliberately made his footsteps louder on the floor, both Yuriko and Jiang Nian heard the footsteps and looked up at Zhou Zhou at the same time.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"
Yuriko stood up first, bowed to Zhou Zhou, and then slowly sat down. She brewed tea again, poured a cup, and respectfully held it up with both hands before speaking to Zhou Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, please have some tea."
During her stay at the villa, Yuriko might not have known much else, but she understood one thing—Mr. An didn't usually get involved in things; most matters were handled by Mr. Zhou. Therefore, she keenly realized that while she needed to curry favor with Mr. An, she couldn't let Mr. Zhou off the hook either.
However, Yuriko sensed that this Mr. Zhou seemed to harbor a faint sense of hostility towards her.
Could it be that Mr. Zhou has guessed his true identity?
This is impossible!
No one knows his identity except for a few members of the Tianye family.
Only after thinking about this did Yuriko breathe a sigh of relief.
Yuriko glanced at Zhou Zhou discreetly, and only when she was sure that his attention was on the teacup did she finally relax.
At least Zhou Zhou didn't notice anything wrong with him.
Zhou Zhou really didn't notice Yuriko.
However, Zhou Zhou didn't refuse the tea that Yuriko offered. He figured that tea that had kept Jiang Nian sitting there drinking for so long must be excellent!
However, after taking a sip of tea, Zhou Zhou looked at Jiang Nian with surprise.
He had thought the tea would be really good, but it turned out to be just average.
Although Yuriko's tea-brewing skills are excellent, without good tea leaves and with a poor foundation, the tea can only be described as so-so.
So, Jiang Nian really has his eye on Baihezi? That's why he patiently drank so much tea?
Zhou Zhou's mind was racing.
If that's the case, then we can't just ignore the Tianye family's situation like before.
After all, Yuriko is a member of the Tano family. Although she is an illegitimate child, that doesn't change her bloodline. If the Tano family were to fall from grace, Yuriko would not have a good ending either.
The Tianye family can be taught a lesson, but we should still leave them a way out.
Zhou Zhou glanced at Jiang Nian again, but unable to see the expression on Jiang Nian's face through the mask, he simply asked directly, "What are your plans regarding the Tian Ye family?"
As they spoke, Zhou Zhou deliberately glanced at Yuriko and gave Jiang Nian a wink.
Jiang Nian was thinking about other things; in fact, he didn't even notice when Zhou Zhou entered the tea room.
Upon hearing Zhou Zhou's question, Jiang Nian paused for a moment before looking up at Zhou Zhou with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "When did you arrive?"
"..." Zhou Zhou suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
He had been agonizing over his feelings for so long, worrying about so many things for Jiang Nian, only to find that she was completely immersed in the beauty's tenderness and didn't even notice him!
Damn it, Zhou Zhou felt that all his good intentions had been wasted!
"It's alright, I'm the one who disturbed you, I'll be going now."
After saying that, Zhou Zhou got up and left. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Jiang Nian would drive him crazy!
Jiang Nian was completely baffled. He felt that Zhou Zhou was acting completely crazy.
Yuriko's emotions were difficult to calm down for a while.
When Jiang Nian looked over, she lowered her head, using the act of brewing tea to conceal her inner turmoil.
In fact, Yuriko's heart had jumped the moment Zhou Zhou mentioned the Tianye family. Although she didn't show any particular expression on her face, her mind was actually completely focused on the Tianye family.
Unfortunately, to Yuriko's surprise, Mr. An's side actually messed up.
She couldn't possibly ask about the Tianye family on her own initiative, so after Zhou Zhou left, Yuriko's mood could only sink.
She was constantly thinking about what the current situation of the Tianye family was.
Takahashi Suki has already acquired the missiles. Does the Tano family still have a chance to turn things around? (End of Chapter)
