Thinking of this, the sword in his hand became even swifter. The leaves on the trees at the side all fell down one after another. They were pierced by the sharp blade and fell to the ground in a mess.
‘Bang—’
A sharp collision sound was heard. In the blink of an eye, Fujiwara had already put away his sword.
Matsuda, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, also heaved a sigh of relief and quickly rushed forward.
“Master!”
The servant who was waiting by the side promptly handed a warm towel to Fujiwara. Fujiwara handed over the sword in his hand before taking it. He simply wiped the sweat off his face while wiping his hands. His gaze was cold and indifferent, there was no emotion to be seen.
“How is it?”
Fujiwara took the coat that Matsuda handed over and simply draped it over his shoulders. He asked indifferently as he walked towards the pergola at the side.
“I’ve already checked it out. I’ve confirmed that Master Lan Xiu is right. Miss Dongfang is indeed married. I’ve confirmed it again and again. Furthermore, there’s information that proves that Miss Dongfang and Qi Lei have known each other for a long time. They even had dinner together many times. When Qi Lei was free, he often goes to Miss Dongfang’s De Bao House. Miss Dongfang was very friendly to him. This is the information from the investigation.”
Matsuda was sweating profusely in his heart. He barely managed to finish his sentence in a low voice.
Fujiwara’s expression had already darkened. He clenched his fists silently and looked coldly at the information Matsuda handed to him. He did not take it.
“Also, Master, our people took these photos early this morning. They happened to be at the hospital. Take a look.”
Seeing Fujiwara’s expressionless face, Matsuda took a deep breath and passed a few more photos to Fujiwara, placing them on the table in front of him.
Fujiwara lowered his head to take a look and quickly recognized the woman in the photos
It was Dongfang Liuyun. The person she was supporting should be Qi Lei, right?
As it was night, the image was not very clear, but he could still recognize Dongfang Liuyun’s appearance.
There was no way he, Fujiwara, could have mistaken her appearance.
“What’s going on?”
Fujiwara lowered his eyes. He did not know how much strength he had used to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, so he asked calmly.
“Qi Lei had a fever in the middle of the night. It was Miss Dongfang who sent him to the hospital. They only left the hospital at dawn. Oh, right, Miss Dongfang went back to the Dongfang mansion yesterday. She had a long conversation with Elder Madam Dongfang and left without having dinner.”
“Elder Madam Dongfang? I remember that she had some secret dealings with the Fujiwara family. It was all thanks to her that she was able to leave Japan and return to City Z so smoothly.”
Fujiwara replied indifferently. His tone was also a little cold, and one could not tell his emotions from it.
“The Dongfang family has been thinking of forming a marriage alliance with our Fujiwara family for quite some time. Elder Madam Dongfang quite likes you Master. It’s just a pity. If things had gone smoothly back then, Master and Miss Dongfang would have long been husband and wife.”
Matsuda’s tone was filled with a hint of regret when he said this. When he turned to look at Fujiwara, he saw that he had already raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows, “You know the situation of the Fujiwara family the best. Even if they’re enthusiastic and don’t have the capabilities, it’s not up to me to decide.”
“Master, you don’t have to worry too much. The main thing is that we have the initiative, so we’ll definitely be able to do it.”
Matsuda could not bear to see the gloominess in Fujiwara’s eyes. He thought for a moment before continuing, “Master, a person like Miss Dongfang isn’t someone that can be easily conquered. I believe that Master and Miss Dongfang will definitely be able to achieve a positive outcome in the end.”
Positive outcome in the end?
Once these words were said, Fujiwara could not help but feel a wave of powerlessness. After calming down for a while, he said, “Right now, everything is unknown. Let’s take one step at a time. What’s the situation over in Japan?”
“Master, the news just came over. In two days, Miss Riko will be coming over as well. Elder Master specially instructed you to take good care of Miss Riko. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?”
A cold glint flashed across Fujiwara’s eyes. His eyes were filled with disdain as well. “If he wants to take advantage of his seniority, he’ll have to see if I agree.”
“Master, Elder Master he…”
Fujiwara sneered. A moment later, his entire body returned to normal. However, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, “Riko Inoue, I’ve already given her a chance. If she insists on doing this, I have no choice but to help her become a member of the Fujiwara family. Go and make arrangements right away. Think of a way to send that woman to the old man’s bed. I’ll fulfill their wish.”
“No, Master… you absolutely can’t do that! Elder Master chose Miss Riko to be your wife. If you do this, once the people from the Fujiwara family finds out, the two families will fight endlessly. Moreover, we don’t look too far ahead. If Miss Riko continues to fight with you for the Fujiwara family business, what should we do?”
Matsuda was so frightened by Fujiwara’s words that his face turned ashen as he hurriedly spoke.
“Master, it’s best if we don’t offend Miss Riko. Although we’re not afraid of the Inoue family, it’s still an eventful period now. It’s better to leave things as they are. We can only treat Miss Riko with respect. This way, she won’t be able to find any evidence against us. We can send someone to follow her around 24 hours a day. Then we won’t have to worry about her doing anything bad.”
Matsuda was naturally very meticulous in his consideration.
Fujiwara was silent. He took a cup of tea from the side and narrowed his eyes coldly. After a moment of silence, he said, “It shouldn’t be difficult for you to make sure that Riko Inoue can’t come over successfully, right? Don’t let me see that woman.”
Matsuda was stunned for a moment. He took a deep breath and replied, “Yes!”
“Oh right, Mr. Ge is still waiting for Master Lan Xiu’s instructions. That plan had always been handled by Miss Dongfang. After Miss Dongfang returned to Dongfang Group, Master Lan Xiu took over personally. Do you think we should give Mr. Ge a call now?”
Matsuda naturally didn’t forget the call from Lan Xiu’s assistant, Ah Li.
“Mr. Ge?”
Fujiwara frowned. He searched his mind for a long time before he remembered this person.
Indeed, he heard that they were stuck and that Lan Xiu was thinking of a way to solve it.
But Mr. Ge was also Fujiwara’s people. Usually, Mr. Ge would directly report information about Lan Xiu and Dongfang Liuyun.
“Yes, Master, don’t you remember? Just the person who challenged you at the banquet the last time, he’s now almost submissive to Master. Master, it was you who told him to do it. He’s now waiting for a reply…”
Matsuda spoke with a hint of unconcealable pride in his tone.
