After that, Fang Zheng took the two girls out of Kamurocho and found a hotel to rest. The two girls were exhausted, especially after going through so many things. Haruka was also tired and sleepy, and fell asleep directly on the bed. Although Sayu was also a little tired, she still forced herself to find Fang Zheng.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you going to do next?"

Sayu looked at Fang Zheng with some uneasiness. After all, she originally thought that she was just taking the little girl to find her mother, but now she found herself involved in some shocking case. This made Sayu very nervous and panicked.

"Anyway, let's see what the situation is. For now, we should find Haruka's mother - provided that her mother is still alive."

"...As expected, Haruka's mother has been murdered?"

"It's very likely, but it's not certain. Assuming that Jingu Kyohei is the one behind all this, it's possible that Haruka's mother is still hiding somewhere. I have some connections, so I can go look for her."

"Uh...how are you going to find it?"

"Just like them, just spread the word and tell her, 'We have your daughter, if you don't come to see us, we will hand her over.'"

"...Mr. Fang Zheng, you sound like a kidnapper."

"What does it matter? As long as we can find the person, the means itself is not important."

Having said this, Fang Zheng looked towards Sayu.

"What are you going to do?"

"Why?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Sayu was stunned for a moment.

"Yao is the person involved in this matter, but it has nothing to do with you. And I think you have seen that this matter is quite dangerous. The other party has a gun. If you are afraid, you can go home and wait for it to be over."

"What about Mr. Fang Zheng?"

However, Sayu did not immediately answer Fang Zheng's question, but instead asked a question in return.

"On the contrary, I don't quite understand why Mr. Fang Zheng would care so much about a girl you have never met before, and it's such an incident... Shouldn't you hand Xiaoyao over to the police for protection? In any case, there is no reason for us to get involved in such matters."

"Indeed, according to the general thinking, most people will choose to avoid risks when they encounter such troubles."

"That……"

"But I don't care."

Fang Zheng shrugged and stared at Sayu.

"The reason I helped her is the same reason I took you in. This is troublesome for ordinary people, but for me, it's not even a trouble. On the contrary, it's a kind of entertainment. After all, plots like those in movies are something that ordinary people can't even touch. Of course, ordinary people don't have the ability to get involved in events of this magnitude."

"Haha...Mr. Fang Zheng, you are still as bold as ever..."

Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, Sayu was speechless, but after thinking for a moment, she smiled helplessly.

"Then I'll stay, too."

"Is everything all right?"

"Mr. Fang Zheng, if you want to deal with those terrible people, then you also need someone to take care of Xiaoyao. After all, she is just a child, and... I also hope to help her find her mother."

“It really surprises me.”

Hearing Sayu's answer, Fang Zheng looked at her curiously.

"I thought you would refuse. After all, this is not an easy task."

"After all, Fang Zheng, you took me in, and I want to do something too. Although I am unlikely to fight those terrible people like Mr. Fang Zheng, at least... I also hope to be able to do what I can."

"Um……"

Looking at Sayu, Fang Zheng nodded.

"Well then, Haruka will be in your care. Don't worry, I will protect you two."

After all, it's more convenient for two girls to be together.

After receiving Fang Zheng's affirmation, Sayu also relaxed and went back to the room to sleep with Haruka. Fang Zheng also took out his mobile phone and made a few calls. As a killer, he also had his own intelligence network, so it was not difficult for him to spread the word. In short, he told Yumi through the intelligence dealer, "Your daughter is in our hands, please come and claim her as soon as possible." Of course, in order to avoid impersonation, Fang Zheng also prepared a small question to distinguish the authenticity of the other party.

After all, even if you pick up a wallet, when the owner comes to claim it, you have to ask him what's in the wallet to confirm that the wallet is his.

For the next few days, Fang Zheng stayed in the hotel with Sayu and Haruka, and received calls from various parties.

Of course, there were many people who were pretending to be someone else, but they were exposed as soon as they heard Fang Zheng's question. Some people threatened Fang Zheng fiercely, demanding that he hand over the person or else they would punish him. Fang Zheng naturally hung up on them.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, does this really work?"

Seeing Fang Zheng hang up the phone again, Sayu, who was sitting on the sofa, asked anxiously.

"Of course, even though the woman named Yumi ran away, as long as she is still alive, she should pay attention to her daughter. And I have spread the news to this extent. If she has any concern for her daughter, she will find a way to contact us."

"But...I'm worried about Mom..."

Haruka, who was sitting next to Sayu, lowered her head uneasily and spoke.

"There is no other way. Letting her contact us on her own initiative is the best option. After all, the place you know is now uninhabited, and we can't just go and find out. This will only cause more trouble. So we might as well spread the word and let her come to us. This way, we will have the initiative in our hands..."

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Fang Zheng hadn't finished speaking when his cell phone rang again. He picked up the phone and answered it. Then a woman's voice rang from the other end.

"Hello."

"Hello, who are you?"

"I'm... Mitsuki."

In response to Fang Zheng's question, the man hesitated for a moment, then gave his name.

"Mizuki?"

Hearing the name, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Yao, who also jumped up excitedly.

"Is that Aunt Mitsuki?"

“Shh—”

Fang Zheng gestured to Yao, asking her to be quiet, and then focused his attention on the phone again.

"Are you Yumi's sister?"

"Yes, I heard... Yumi's daughter is with you?"

"That's right, but I will only let Yumi meet her daughter if she comes in person."

"What do you want?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the woman named Meiyue suddenly became excited.

"Do you want money? If you want money..."

"You make me sound like a kidnapper, Miss Mitsuki."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.

"I'm not here to ask you for money. To put it simply, I think you should be very clear about the current situation, so I won't say more. In this situation, I don't trust other people, even if you are Yumi's sister. To put it simply, I just want to meet Yumi and hand my daughter over to her, and then this matter will be over."

"...You don't believe me?"

"There's nothing I can do. After all, who can guarantee that you won't betray your sister?"

"That makes me even more worried about you. After all, I don't know who you are, and I don't know why Haruka is with you. And... I won't let my sister show up without hearing Haruka's voice."

Chain of suspicion.

Hearing this, Fang Zheng curled his lips. He didn't believe the other party, and the other party didn't believe him either. And the important thing is that although Yao came to find her mother, the two sides had no means of recognizing each other, because according to Yao, she and her mother had always been in contact through letters, not even on the phone, so naturally she couldn't recognize her mother's voice. On the other hand, the other party was also afraid that he had just found a little girl to pretend to be Yao, and then lured Yumi into the trap.

After all, it’s worth 10 billion.

"Well, I have a few questions for you."

Fang Zheng leaned back on the sofa and changed his posture.

"First of all, what did Yumi once give to her daughter?"

“…Pendant.”

"Shape? What about color?"

"Round and silver."

"What's inside the pendant?"

“…a photograph.”

"Whose?"

“…Kiryu Kazuma…”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's lips curled up slightly, and then handed the phone to Yao.

"I leave it to you."

Yao, who couldn't wait any longer, quickly took the phone and put it to her ear.

"Hello, Aunt Mitsuki? It's me, Haruka! I want to see my mom…."

Perhaps because she finally heard a familiar voice, Yao relaxed and started chatting with the other person nonstop, mainly talking about how she ran away from the orphanage, how she met Fang Zheng and the others, and then how she came to Kamurocho and what she encountered here...

After talking for a while, Yao handed the phone back to Fang Zheng.

"Aunt Mitsuki wants to talk to you."

Fang Zheng took the phone and put it to his ear.

"Hello."

"I've heard what happened from Haruka. Thank you for taking care of the child."

"Nothing, I'm free anyway."

“…”

Faced with Fang Zheng's relaxed answer, the other party was speechless for a while, and finally got back to the point.

"I think you should know what happened."

"That's about right. Haruka's father is Jingu Kyouhei, right? And for his own future, he fabricated a rumor that 10 billion yen was stolen and wanted to kill Yumi and Haruka... Modern Chen Shimei is the same everywhere, right?"

“Chen Shimei…? No, actually, that’s not a rumor.”

“…Huh?”

"The 10 billion that the Shrine mentioned was indeed stolen by Mei..."

“…Hah??!!”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was completely confused.
