Chapter 659 The Story Behind Matsuda

Qiao Qingci realized that the story behind the Matsuda family was far from as simple as it seemed, and the Prime Minister's wife was ready to tell this secret.

The Prime Minister's wife said: "Ou Feng was very angry with me when she found out you were there. I have reflected on this and I really should have told you earlier."

"So?" Qiao Qingci placed the phone between himself and Mo Yanchu to ensure that both of them could hear what the Prime Minister's wife was saying.

The Prime Minister's wife said: "You may not know the history of the Matsuda family. They were once a famous general, but after so many years of changes, they once encountered bankruptcy. Everyone thought that the Matsuda family would disappear. However, the Matsuda family obtained a mysterious fund from somewhere and unexpectedly revived. They grew bigger and bigger, and gradually became the second largest family in the country.

If it weren't for the Fujiwara family's connection to the imperial family, Matsuda would have crushed the Fujiwara family."

Qiao Qingci was in deep thought, waiting for the Prime Minister's wife to speak next.

The Prime Minister's wife continued, "Actually, my family has a history with the Matsuda family. We found their sudden rise very strange. We once secretly investigated and sent out equally powerful detectives and assassins, but they didn't respond. Later, we learned that the Matsuda family actually had a huge number of assassins! You have to know that the Matsuda family was on the verge of bankruptcy at that time. If they really had such assassins, the situation would not have been so dire. So we suspect that the same force was providing them with funds and assassins."

Qiao Qingci and Mo Yanchu looked at each other.

If a force can freely provide a huge amount of funds and a large number of assassins, then this force may be able to confront a country...

Qiao Qingci: "You guys haven't given up on investigating the Matsuda family. After all these years, haven't you discovered who helped them in the first place?"

"No. But we discovered that the Matsuda family wasn't simply enjoying the funds. Every once in a while, a young man or woman would disappear from their family. Hundreds of people have disappeared since 20 years ago. I suspect these people were offered as tribute to that person."

The Prime Minister's wife said, "But they always report to the outside world that they've died of illness or had accidents. Their family once had a talented girl, but she disappeared before she was 20, which caused widespread discussion at the time. I think the forces behind them are specifically looking for this person. I've always believed that talent is the foundation of a family. They probably don't want their children to be sacrificed, so they'll try to find a way to escape the control of those behind them."

Qiao Qingci's face was gloomy. In this day and age, such things still happened.

"I have my guess, so you just keep watching and tell me as soon as you have any information." Qiao Qingci said.

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the car was particularly gloomy.

According to the Prime Minister's wife, the Matsuda family is incredibly powerful. What will be the consequences if they interfere in this election?

Mo Yanchu said in a low voice, "I think it must be the forces of other countries who want to use the Matsuda family to control something."

"The relationship between the Matsuda family and Ou Wei is very complicated. If Ou Wei really takes office, then Matsuda can also obtain huge benefits and even control the country through Ou Wei." Qiao Qingci pondered.

She felt like there was a huge spider web in front of her, and the further they went, the harder it became.

When they tear open this spider web, they will find another huge spider web in front of them, which will never end.

They returned to the hotel, and the aroma of food wafted through the air. Qiao Yunyue came out of the kitchen carrying some food and was very happy to see them: "You're back! I've prepared dinner. Let's eat together."

Wen Qi was setting the tableware, and his eyes softened slightly as he looked at them.

"Wow, second brother, why are you thinking of cooking?" Qiao Qingci walked over and sat down, looking at the four dishes and one soup that were delicious.

Qiao Yunyue took off her apron and said with a smile, "I feel that eating takeout every day is not good for our health. Home-cooked meals are the best. Try my cooking and see if it has improved."

Qiao Qingci took a bite of the ribs and immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Second brother, I think you are really perfect. You understand high technology and can cook. You can handle both the kitchen and the living room. You are really outstanding." Qiao Qingci praised without hesitation.

Mo Yanchu sat next to him and glanced at Qiao Qingci with a gloomy look. Qiao Qingci smiled and said, "Of course, Yanchu is also very good. You two are equally good."

"Yan Chu is still better. I can only tinker with those high-tech things. Yan Chu has a much heavier burden than me." Qiao Yunyue smiled, picked up some food for Wen Qi, and then picked up some food for Qiao Qingci.
