Chapter 650 ignores other factors
"Mr. An is very dissatisfied with the Tano family. Miss Yuriko also does not want to return to the Tano family."
Seeing that Takahashi Suki could barely hide his smile after hearing his words, Zhou Zhou's eyes flashed with a hint of contempt.
He's still too young, which is why he's so radical in trying to force Takeshi Tano to step down so he can take over.
Little did they know that they should leave themselves some room for maneuver before doing anything. That way, even if they fail, they will still have a chance to make a comeback.
Takahashi Somoki is now completely immersed in the ecstasy of his upcoming performance, ignoring all other factors.
Such a person lacks character. Zhou Zhou didn't think Jiang Nian would ultimately cooperate with someone like that.
Zhou Zhou never forgot one thing—Jiang Nian was a member of the Chinese military. One of the conditions Jiang Nian agreed to join the Shadow Organization was that he could use all the resources within the organization to help China.
Currently, Jiang Nian remains entrenched in Japan. Japan has always been a thorn in the side of the Chinese military. Given the opportunity, Jiang Nian will undoubtedly act without hesitation to remove this thorn.
If we want Japan to distance itself from the US and get closer to China, we must change this at its root.
This time, the change of power in the Japanese military, and the turmoil caused by the Takahashi and Tano families, is all because Jiang Nian interfered.
Zhou Zhou touched his chin, thinking seriously—if Jiang Nian wanted to change this situation, after Takahashi Sumu and Tano Takeshi stepped down, who would he support to take over?
To Takahashi Suki, Zhou Zhou's posture suggested he was pondering some important matter. It seemed Mr. An was still somewhat uncertain.
Yuriko didn't want to return to the Tano family, but the traditions of Japan made it impossible for her to continue living as an illegitimate child. So in the end, Yuriko still had to go back.
If Mr. An really gets together with Yuriko, then with Mr. An's support, the Tano family will not fall.
No, I absolutely cannot let this happen.
Takahashi Sumu pondered in his heart—Yuriko is a beauty, and their Takahashi family can simply send a few beauties to Mr. An.
He didn't expect the beauty he sent to capture Mr. An's heart; he only wanted to keep Mr. An's mind from Yuriko.
After all, someone like Mr. An would never have only one woman by his side. With other women distracting Mr. An, Yuriko's family background wouldn't be of much use.
“Mr. Zhou, I understand what to do. I’ll leave everything to you then.”
Gaoqiao Sumu stuffed another large red envelope into Zhou Zhou's hand, then said with a big smile.
Zhou Zhou: "???" What's going on? He didn't seem to say anything, did he? What's the meaning behind Takahashi Sumu's attitude? The key point is, what exactly did he mean by "please"? What the hell?
He was internally furious, but outwardly maintained a cold demeanor. Zhou Zhou declared that he absolutely could not abandon his aloof persona.
"Ah."
Zhou Zhou uttered a single word indifferently and nodded slightly.
Zhou Zhou's response made Gao Qiao Sumu even happier. He couldn't hide his smile at all, and his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
Completely unaware of what Gao Qiao Su Mu was so happy about, Zhou Zhou accepted the red envelope and then reviewed the tasks Jiang Nian had entrusted to him. Once he was certain he had done everything properly, Zhou Zhou dusted himself off and left without a trace.
After Mr. An left, Takeshi Tano felt as if he had lost all his strength. He sat on the sofa in the living room, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Was Mr. An's meaning really as I guessed?
As he pondered Mr. An's last words over and over again, Takeshi Tano's heart began to stir with excitement.
Since things have already come to this point, they can't get any worse. I might as well give it my all.
Perhaps, taking this gamble will be his turning point.
He acted on his thought. Without further hesitation, Takeshi Tano stood up and tidied his appearance—he was going to see Mr. An now.
Tano Takeshi ultimately failed to meet Mr. An.
After he calmed himself down, he went to prepare a gift for Mr. An.
Regardless of what Mr. An's relationship with Yuriko is like now, Takeshi Tano doesn't dare to treat Mr. An as a junior.
After much deliberation, Takeshi Tano finally prepared a generous gift, and his specially dispatched envoy, Daiya Taza, returned.
"What? Takahashi Somoki is ruthless enough."
Takeshi Tano had always known that Takahashi Somoki was very ambitious, but this time, he truly witnessed the other party's methods.
After spending a long time in the study, Takeshi Tano hurriedly went to Mr. An's villa.
This time, Takeshi Tano still didn't see Mr. An.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tano. Mr. An left ten minutes ago. You're late."
Jeremy looked at Takeshi Tano with pity. He thought Tano's luck was truly exceptionally bad.
Jiang Nian had been reluctant to meet Tian Yewu, but she finally asked Jeremy to stop stopping her. Jeremy thought that Tian Yewu would take this opportunity to get closer to Jiang Nian.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Jiang Nian stayed in the villa the whole time. After Zhou Zhou returned, he said something to Jiang Nian, and then Jiang Nian left with Zhou Zhou and a few other people.
Jeremy was originally going to come along too, but Jiang Nian thought of something else and decided to keep him behind.
Now, only Yuriko lives in this villa.
"Mr. An is gone? When will he come back? When will I be able to see him?"
Takeshi Tano's face was full of shock.
He could clearly see the pity on Jeremy's face. Since he came to power, no one had ever dared to look at him like that.
However, none of that matters now.
How come it was only a ten-minute difference?
Tano Takeshi was practically seething with rage, wanting to kill his driver. Just moments before, he'd been urging the driver to go faster and faster. Now, because of this ten-minute time difference, he couldn't see Mr. An, and Tano Takeshi felt like he wanted to die.
"Mr. Tianye, I'm sorry. Mr. An has some matters to attend to and will not be back for the time being. At the earliest, he won't be back until the day after tomorrow."
Jeremy didn't hide anything from Tano Takeshi. Since Jiang Nian and Zhou Zhou weren't here, Jeremy was the one who could make the decisions.
Jiang Nian kept him around partly to keep an eye on Yuriko, and partly to deal with Takeshi Tano.
He won't be back until the day after tomorrow?
Takeshi Tano's face was extremely pale this time, turning from green to white.
If it were only a few hours, he could wait here.
Mr. An won't be back until the day after tomorrow, which is too long.
Moreover, by the day after tomorrow, Takahashi Somoki will probably be able to get the missile, right?
Missiles? Missiles! That's right, missiles! Takeshi Tano remembered—Tasada had also mentioned before that if he made a deal with Mr. An, he could get the goods in three days.
It's only been two days since news broke that Takahashi Somoku made a deal with Mr. An. By now, the two missiles Takahashi Somoku bought from Mr. An should have arrived soon, right?
So, Mr. An is leaving this time to complete a final deal with Takahashi Suki?
No!
He couldn't just stand by and watch Takahashi Somoki and Mr. An actually make their deal.
As long as Takahashi Suki doesn't bring those two missiles back to the military region, there's still a chance for things to turn around.
"Since Mr. An won't be back until the day after tomorrow, could I see Yuriko? After all, she's my daughter. Even though she hasn't officially returned to the family yet, according to Mr. An, Yuriko is supposed to return to the Tano family. I'd like to see her now, is that alright?"
After his eyes darted around a few times, Takeshi Tano had another idea.
The fact that he didn't receive news of Mr. An's departure immediately means that the other person is still unaware of Mr. An's whereabouts. There's no time to waste now, so he must see that person immediately.
Takeshi Tano put on the appearance of a loving father, with tears even glistening in his eyes, as if he really wanted to see his daughter who had been living away from home.
Looking at Takeshi Tano's appearance, Jeremy sneered inwardly.
Someone unaware of the treatment Yuriko received within the Tano family might actually be fooled by this benevolent fatherly facade. But Jeremy knew perfectly well.
After a flash of disdain in his eyes, Jeremy smiled and said, "Of course. You are Miss Yuriko's father, so of course you can go in and see her."
After respectfully ushering Takeshi Tano into the living room, Jeremy spoke again: "Mr. Tano, I'm sorry. Ms. Yuriko is resting in her room right now. Please wait here for a moment, and I'll go up and inform her. However, I can't guarantee whether Ms. Yuriko will see you."
Since we've let Takeshi Tano in, we have to make sure he sees Yuriko no matter what.
This was also Jiang Nian's instruction to Jeremy when he left—if Takeshi Tano couldn't see him and wanted to see Yuriko, don't stop him.
With his back to Takeshi Tano, Jeremy's face was full of mockery. Did these people really think they could hide their actions from Mr. Jiang Nian? It's just that Mr. Jiang Nian is too lazy to bother with them.
Yuriko sat in her room.
After returning from the Tianye family, she went into her room and didn't come out.
Yuriko had initially assumed that, given her current state, Mr. An would definitely come looking for her. After all, she had left the Tano family in tears.
Unfortunately, Yuriko waited and waited, but Mr. An never came to knock on her door.
Knowing that Mr. An wouldn't accommodate her, Yuriko understood that she should take the initiative to go out and see him. But she was holding her breath and didn't want to go out for the time being, not even going downstairs to eat.
Yuriko didn't expect that instead of Mr. Darkness, she would receive a message from Jeremy.
"Miss Yuriko, Mr. Tano is waiting downstairs to see you."
After knocking on Yuriko's door, Jeremy spoke without waiting for a response from inside.
Has Takeshi Tano come looking for me?
How can this be?
The key question is, why would Takeshi Tano come to see Mr. An at this time?
Something's not right!
For some reason, Yuriko felt a sense of unease. She had a premonition that something had changed while she was hiding in her room, without her knowledge.
In her anxiety, Yuriko hurriedly picked up her phone, typed rapidly with both hands, and sent a message.
Before Yuriko could receive a reply, Jeremy knocked on the door again.
"Miss Yuriko, Mr. Takeshi Tano is still waiting for you. Please don't take too long."
Yuriko had always known that ever since Mr. An brought her back to this villa, apart from Mr. An, the people here had never treated her well.
But I am clearly Mr. An's guest, and Mr. An has not said anything, so why are these servants treating me so badly?
Yuriko wanted to talk to Mr. An about this several times, but then she thought about her image in front of him, so she forced herself to suppress her dissatisfaction.
Now that Mr. An knows that he and Takeshi Tano are not on good terms, why does he insist that he make him meet Takeshi Tano?
That's right, it must have been Jeremy who made the decision on his own!
"Where is Mr. An? I need to see Mr. An!"
Without opening the door, Yuriko called out to Jeremy through the door panel.
She refused to believe that Jeremy would still dare to treat her this way after bringing up Mr. Dark.
“Miss Yuriko, Mr. An has already left and will not be back until the day after tomorrow. Before he left, he specifically instructed that if Mr. Tano comes looking for you, please let you see him. After all, you are father and daughter, and the blood relationship cannot be severed.”
Jeremy's calm voice came through the door.
Upon hearing Jeremy's words, Yuriko clenched her fists tightly, her long nails digging deep into her flesh. Blood dripped from her palms, but she seemed to feel no pain whatsoever.
For a fleeting moment, Yuriko felt that she might have made a mistake in this matter.
But now that things have come to this, even if a mistake has been made, there's no going back.
Looking at her hands, she saw that the scalded area from the tea was still covered with a light green ointment. This was medicine that Mr. An had applied himself.
I could almost still smell the faint tobacco scent on Mr. An.
It was wrong, really wrong, wrong from the very beginning.
"I understand. You can go down now. I'll go down to see Mr. Tianye in a bit."
After a long silence, Yuriko spoke softly.
As Jeremy's footsteps faded into the distance, Yuriko looked at her phone.
She had received a reply to the message she sent earlier, but she no longer wanted to see what the answer was.
Takeshi Tano didn't have to wait long.
Perhaps Jeremy's urging had an effect, because less than two minutes after Jeremy came downstairs, Yuriko had already calmly gone downstairs.
"Mr. Tianye".
Yuriko sat down opposite Takeshi Tano, her expression calm and revealing no emotion.
"Yuriko, I am your father." (End of Chapter)
