Who exactly is Yuzuru Hanyu?
Does he belong to some unknown, powerful organization? Or is he an individual with special abilities?
What is his attitude towards the organization? Is he a friend or foe?
Was his taking in the Miyano sisters out of kindness, or did he have ulterior motives?
Does he really possess the antidote for APTX-4869?
A series of questions swirled in Mary Akai's mind.
This young man, who could very well be her "nephew-in-law," was shrouded in mystery, making him difficult for even a seasoned top agent like her to see through.
"Red or Black? Or perhaps... something that transcends the chessboard?"
Mary Akai muttered to herself, her eyes sharp.
It seems necessary to adjust our strategy. Perhaps... we could consider more direct contact? But the risks are equally enormous.
Just as Mary Akai was deep in thought, weighing her next move, the doorbell suddenly rang out with a clear "ding-dong".
The mother and daughter were both startled and looked warily toward the door.
Who could it be at this time...?
A hotel waiter? Or... an uninvited guest?
Sera Masumi instinctively glanced at her mother, her eyes asking inquiringly: Should I open the door? Is it food delivery? I didn't order anything!
Mary Akai took a deep breath, jumped off the small chair, straightened her slightly aloof-looking jacket that still fit her petite frame, and a resolute glint flashed in her azure eyes.
What's meant to come will come.
She winked at Sera Masumi, signaling her to open the door, while she herself quietly moved to a corner in the room where it was easy to observe and react, her small body tense, entering a state of combat readiness.
Sera Masumi understood, took a deep breath, walked to the back of the door, and looked out through the peephole—
Standing outside the door was none other than the mysterious black-haired boy who had been the subject of much discussion between the mother and daughter.
Kusunoki Hanyu!
He wore a gentle, harmless smile and carried an exquisite paper bag that looked like a souvenir, making him look like a friendly neighborhood boy visiting relatives.
How did he find this place?!
What is he trying to do?!
Sera Masumi's internal alarm bells rang. She turned around abruptly and mouthed silently to her mother:
"It's Yuzuru!"
Mary Akai's azure pupils contracted slightly.
You really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs, especially such weirdos.
But things have already come to this point, and the other party has already come knocking on our door.
Mary Akai quickly gestured to her daughter, then quietly retreated behind the curtains on the balcony, her petite figure perfectly concealed in the shadows, leaving only a tiny gap for observation.
Sera Masumi composed herself, took a deep breath, and forced a look of surprise mixed with just the right amount of confusion onto her face before opening the door.
"Oh! Yuzuru-kun?"
She blinked and asked in an exaggerated tone, "What are you doing here? Do you need something?"
Outside the door, Yu Shengnan wore an impeccable, gentle smile and waved the gift bag in his hand: "Nothing special, I just thought that Sera-kun is new to Beika and doesn't know anyone, and has elders and a younger sister to take care of at home, so I came to pay a visit and show some hospitality."
Sera Masumi's lips twitched. "I'd be a fool to believe you!"
You've gone too far in showing hospitality! You've even gone to the hotel room door!
She went straight to the point and asked the crucial question: "...How did you know I lived here?"
With a smile, Yuzuru Hanyu uttered the most extravagant and outrageous words in the most casual tone: "Oh, this, the Mihana Grand Hotel, Suzuki Group seems to have a small share in it too."
He didn't say the rest, but Sera Masumi understood instantly.
Sonoko Suzuki, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group... is one of this guy's girlfriends.
Damn it!
Is this what money power is?! She also wants a girlfriend with such a vast intelligence network and financial power!
Since things have come to this point, stopping them now would only make us seem guilty.
Sera Masumi reluctantly stepped aside to let Hanyu Nan enter the room, and silently closed the door with her heel, making a soft "click" sound—it was locked.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, we absolutely cannot let this guy go.
Yu Sheng Nan seemed oblivious to her little action, casually walked into the suite's living room, glanced around seemingly casually, and asked in a natural tone, "Auntie and your sister...aren't they home?"
Sera Masumi glanced subconsciously in the direction of the balcony, and said perfunctorily, "Ah... they went out for a stroll and bought some things, they haven't come back yet."
"Is that so? That's really unfortunate."
Yuzuru showed a perfectly measured hint of regret on his face, then naturally sat down on the most comfortable-looking single sofa, his posture as relaxed as if he were at home.
Seeing the other party's hostile attitude, Sera Masumi walked over, crossed her arms, and decided to get straight to the point without beating around the bush: "Hanyu-kun, you came all this way for more than just a 'visit,' right?"
Speak quickly if you have something to say, or... whatever you want to say, just say it.
Yuzuru smiled, placed the gift bag on the coffee table, leaned forward slightly, and said with a hint of amusement, "Of course not entirely."
He abruptly changed the subject: "Actually, I think your suggestion on the rooftop at noon was very constructive, Shiliang."
well? "
Sera Masumi was stunned and didn't react.
"Noon? What do you mean?"
Yuzuru kindly helped her recall, repeating each word in his clear voice: "It's about... the blonde, blue-eyed 'legal loli' sister, and that... divorced, widowed, still charming, and hot... beautiful mother... proposal."
"Especially the latter, divorced, widowed, and raising two children, it's easy to feel sympathy and want to lend a helping hand."
Sera Masumi: "!!!"
She stumbled and almost fell flat on her face.
Seriously, bro?! You're really taking advantage of this?! I just made that up to get information out of you, how could you take it seriously?!
And what on earth is this "divorced, widowed, with two kids"?
Behind the curtains on the balcony.
Even with her top agent composure, Mary Akai, who was concealing her presence, couldn't help but catch her breath when she heard Nanami Hanyu's undisguised and outrageous remarks, especially the precise and controversial description of "divorced and widowed."
The little fist hidden in the shadows hardened instantly.
She stared coldly through the gap in the curtains at the talkative boy, wishing she could rush out and give him a standard MI6 hand-to-hand combat demonstration to teach him what it means to "make trouble out of your mouth."
Of course, her own outspoken and notorious daughter, who's a master at sabotaging her mother, won't escape either.
We'll have extra training later! Train like crazy!
