Chapter 262 I am, Aoi Hatoyama

262

Not to mention Takahashi Shota's excitement, even Tang Yue on the deck was excited. What was going on? Was this Maki related to the Hatoyama family?

Tang Yue's lips curled up mischievously. "Haha, how interesting. Bumping into someone from the Hatoyama family so soon?"

Takahashi sat up from the bed and stared into Maki's eyes. "Ms. Maki, I want to know what you meant by that just now?"

Maki pouted in grievance, "Just now, you pinched my neck just now."

"Oh, yo yo, baby, don't be angry, let me blow you. My hand was too heavy, Miss Maki, don't be angry." Takahashi quickly hugged her and rubbed her neck.

"Hmph! You treated me like that just now." Maki blushed as she spoke. Her arms were already around Takahashi Shota's waist.

Takahashi asked in confusion, "What? I remember Miss Maki was very happy just now."

Maki acted coquettishly again, "I'm so tired now and want to sleep."

Takahashi pushed her out of his arms and said, "Ms. Maki, there has to be a limit to being pretentious. I don't think we've reached that level of relationship yet."

Maki was pushed directly onto the bed. Maki turned around and gave Takahashi Shota a cold look, then sat up again indifferently.

Tang Yue was breathing heavily. Damn it, if she didn't want to know who these two people were, she wouldn't have wanted to take action so quickly. How could these two people have the chance to waste time with her?

Tang Yue made up her mind that if these two continued to fight, she wouldn't mind getting less sleep and starting with these two.

Perhaps they sensed Tang Yue's displeasure? They both calmed down considerably. Maki had already put on her clothes and slouched in a chair. Takahashi sat upright on the bed again.

"Ms. Maki, please produce something that can prove your identity."

Maki slipped a hand through the collar of her shirt and pulled out a pendant. Tang Yue looked at her with amusement. She hadn't seen anything around her neck when she was naked just now. It turned out these people were so cunning.

Maki held the pendant in front of Takahashi Shota, and the pendant swayed in the air. Takahashi could still see clearly the white dove with its wings spread at the bottom of the pendant.

It is a well-known fact in Japan that the family crest of the Hatoyama family is a white dove. And no one in Japan dares to use this family crest casually.

"Ms. Maki is really from the Hatoyama family?"

Maki immediately let go of the chain, and the pendant fell directly into Takahashi Shota's hand.

"Takahashi Shouta, please call me Hatoyama Aoi."

"Hatoyama, Aoi?" Takahashi Shota was startled. They only knew that Aoi was the one who got the truth serum, but they didn't expect that she was also from the Hatoyama family. Even Takahashi Shota had to give face to the Hatoyama family.

"Miss Aoi, what do you want?"

Aoi Hatoyama was still sitting lazily in the chair. "I just said it, I want to marry you."

Takahashi Shota frowned. He didn't like this offer. Although the Hatoyama family was very powerful, he was also wary of them. But he had no intention of becoming dependent on them.

"Ms. Aoi, do you think I need to rely on the Hatoyama family to survive?" There was obvious displeasure in her tone.

"Haha, haha! Mr. Takahashi, I think you misunderstood me. Marrying me will only give you more power. It will be a mutually beneficial opportunity for us and the Hatoyama family."

Takahashi frowned.

Hatoyama Aoi continued, "Mr. Takahashi, I know that you are a leader in the field of medicine and pathogen research in Japan. Even to this day, there has not been an expert more talented than you in Japan.

That's why I admire you. I know you're highly regarded by the Emperor. But, Mr. Takahashi, you've also had your share of challenges, haven't you? For example, funding. The Emperor has so many things to worry about, especially now that the international community is smearing the dangers of germs.

So, many of your research projects must have come to a standstill.

If you become the son-in-law of the Hatoyama family, I think the Hatoyama family can satisfy you with whatever you want to research."

Takahashi was certainly tempted. Japan wasn't a monolithic nation; some wanted to rule the world with germs, while others naturally disagreed. Consequently, many of his ambitious research projects were currently on hold.

This was also why he was so concerned about Veritaserum. If his research on those pathogens could continue, what would Veritaserum be? When people are extremely afraid, they will say anything.

Takahashi's eyes revealed a morbid madness. "Ms. Aoi, what you said is indeed very tempting. However, let me tell you your conditions. I don't think you will help me without any conditions."

Aoi Hatoyama snapped his fingers. "Clever. Mr. Takahashi, I think our purpose is clear. I don't need to elaborate on the importance of the truth serum formula. Once Mr. Takahashi figures it out, my Hatoyama family will request a copy."

In addition, no matter what pathogens or medicines Mr. Takahashi develops in the future, my Hatoyama family will have a share."

"Haha! Miss Aoi, don't you think the Hatoyama family's eating habits are a bit ugly?"

Aoi Hatoyama didn't feel embarrassed at all. She shrugged, "Mr. Takahashi, I don't think you're at a disadvantage. After all, you still get the beautiful me, don't you? Besides, Mr. Takahashi just tested it himself."

Takahashi's face darkened. The Hatoyama family had been plotting against him for a long time. It was impossible to use a woman from the Hatoyama family without paying anything.

He rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Miss Kui, my wife and I have a good relationship. We can also find another place for you as I just mentioned..."

"Mr. Takahashi, do you think I, Aoi Hatoyama, need a house?"

Takahashi Shota looked at Hatoyama Aoi and said, "Ms. Aoi, do you really believe that I can research the formula for truth serum?"

Aoi Hatoyama looked at him with admiration, "Well, Shota, I believe you."

I don't know what Takahashi Shouta was thinking. When he looked up at Hatoyama Aoi again, his face was serious. "Okay, Miss Aoi, I promise you."

Aoi Hatoyama threw herself into Takahashi Shota's arms. Takahashi Shota hadn't forgotten his business, mainly because he was in his forties and really couldn't handle it.

"Ms. Aoi, can you show me the truth serum first?"

Aoi Hatoyama didn't hide it anymore. She took the pendant from Takahashi's hand, gently opened it, and pulled out a very flat paper package from the middle compartment. She carefully took out the paper package and opened it.

Looking at the white powder that only contained one or two grams, Takahashi Shouta frowned, "That's all?"

It might be gone if he tastes it, so how can we study it?

Tang Yue was also very surprised. She didn't expect that Hatoyama Aoi made such a big fuss, but in the end he only got back such a small thing.

Aoi Hatoyama's face was a little unhappy. "Don't underestimate this amount. This is already the amount a person should honestly confess anything. China has very strict control over this drug.

I had to go through a lot of trouble to get this. If it were now, I wouldn’t be able to get it even if I had the best skills.”

Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. It was true. Now that the army had been reshuffled, it would be quite difficult to produce this thing again. But did the battalion commander and the others overlook this matter during the interrogation?

That's how this thing got secretly brought out. Japanese spies have it, and maybe other spies have it too.

Tang Yue curled her lips. "Oh, she's really worried." It seemed she had to remind the battalion commander to be more careful with this thing. She would have to get this Aoi Hatoyama out and ask clearly whether it had been taken back by several countries for experiments.

If that were the case, she would have to come up with a solution quickly.

The two people in the room stayed together for a while. Takahashi Shota seemed to have just remembered something and asked Hatoyama Aoi casually, "Ms. Aoi, I heard that the Hatoyama family has sent many assassins to China in the past six months. Is there anything important going on in China with the Hatoyama family?"

Why do you need so many people?"

Hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Hatoyama Aoi's eyes, but it quickly dissipated. She hooked Takahashi's chin and said, "Mr. Takahashi, just ask whatever you want to ask. I will definitely tell you everything."
