No matter how rich Yoruichi Toyama's imagination was, she never expected that Akane Aizawa would say such a thing.

"You...you know?"

Do you know that he approached you to become the son-in-law of the Lanze Group?

Then you need to know that you are the illegitimate daughter of Chairman Lan Ze, right?

Yoruichi Toyama tried hard to recall the original plot. Although she couldn't remember whether Akane Aizawa knew about her background beforehand, she remembered that her return to the Aizawa family was indeed facilitated by Fumiya Mitsui.

However, it now seems that this thread has been in Lan Zexi's own hands from the very beginning.

Mitsui Ayaya was merely a small insect that stumbled into her meticulously woven web by sheer chance.

"But I don't understand why you..."

Because there were still police nearby, Yoruichi Toyama only got halfway through her sentence before she saw Akane Aizawa raise a finger in front of her lips.

He had to lower his voice and try to get some reasoning out of the situation first.

Why didn't Miss Xiaoxi call the police?

Lan Zexi just smiled and took his arm again.

"Shall we go somewhere quiet to talk?"

...

On the second floor of the Deep Blue Hotel, facing the sea, is an exquisitely decorated bar with a panoramic 180-degree view of the ocean through its front windows.

However, since the hotel has not officially opened yet, there are only two guests at the moment: Lan Zeqian and Yuanshan Yeyi.

Lan Zeqian gracefully picked up her soda water, gently touched it to Toyama Yoruichi's glass, and then spoke first.

"You told me to call the police, but I have no evidence. Even if I do call the police, there's nothing they can do."

That explanation makes perfect sense.

What Fumiya Mitsui did before was simply to build a website under the guise of environmental protection to attract some bored, bourgeois individuals.

As for his plan to seize the inheritance of the Lanze Group, it has only taken its first step so far.

Yoruichi Toyama nodded and asked in return, "So, what exactly is Miss Akane's so-called understanding?"

Even if one wants to become the son-in-law of the Lan Ze family, it's not a secret.

Fujishima Takumi and Suo Takeshi practically wore their thoughts on their sleeves.

But what Lan Zexi was referring to was clearly more than that.

The girl in the little dress casually rested her chin on her hand on the bar and winked at Yoruichi Toyama.

“Mitsui harbors a deep-seated hatred for my father… or rather, for the entire Aizawa family.”

"Ever since I learned this, I understand that he had ulterior motives for approaching me and even helping me enter the Lan Ze family."

Despite Yoruichi Toyama's surprised expression, Akane Aizawa maintained her mysterious smile.

"Don't look at me like this. I knew from the moment I entered the Lan Ze family that it was impossible to continue being naive."

“I am my father’s illegitimate daughter, and I also have two brothers who are not related to me by blood, and a stepmother who is too young.”

"I must protect myself first before I can talk about anything else, like love..."

A complex look flashed in her eyes, but Toyama Yoichi understood.

"You secretly investigated Mr. Mitsui?"

Without realizing it, they even stopped calling her "Miss Xiaoxi".

Lan Zexi gave a hurried laugh.

“It wasn’t just him. When my father first decided on the three of them, I hired a private investigator to investigate.”

"Looking back now, it's a bit of a regret. Why didn't I meet you back then?"

As she said this, her eyes swept over again, and Toyama Yoru could only cough and lower his head to drink water.

"His real name isn't Mitsui Fumiya... The real Mitsui Fumiya was originally admitted to another university, but he inexplicably withdrew from it soon after..."

Lan Zexi's eyes flickered, clearly indicating that she had reached the most important part.

"A year later, this person, now known as Fumiya Mitsui, applied to Tokyo Medical University."

"The detective found a photo of the Mitsui who dropped out of school, and he looks completely different from the person we met."

Yoruichi Toyama's eyebrows involuntarily rose higher.

Indeed, recalling the original plot now, I remember that when Mitsui Fumiya finally opened up about his inner thoughts, he said that he was an imposter.

"So, the real Mitsui Fumiya..."

“I don’t know.” Lan Zexi shook her head meaningfully. “People who have disappeared are very difficult for detectives to find.”

"The only thing I know is that this person is using the identity of 'Mitsui Fumiya' in order to get close to me."

"Because he dared not reveal his true identity... Once his father found out, he would kick him out of the house."

Yoruichi Toyama nodded silently.

Lan Zexi, on the contrary, looked at him with some surprise.

Do you know who he is?

"...I can guess." Realizing she couldn't reveal the spoiler, Yoruichi Toyama quickly came up with an excuse.

"Speaking of which, it was those emissaries of the King of Sisa who reminded me."

"The girl named Wuqin, although adopted by the Shuicheng family, is actually named Nago Wuqin."

"She is the daughter of Naguni Morihiko, the amateur scientist who discovered the Deep Blue Ruins on Konpaku Island."

"The person who initially invested in Naguni Morihiko, intending to jointly develop the ruins, was a small real estate developer."

"But later, due to the intervention of the Lanze Group, the investment failed, and the real estate developer died in poverty due to debt."

“I spoke with Naguni Wuqin, but she completely refused to mention her relationship with Naguni Morihiko and the Aizawa Group.”

"Her refusal is a manifestation of the hatred in her heart. She was actually used by King Xisa in order to take revenge on the Lanze Group."
