Chapter 37
/
Mrs. Songyuan's political vision was more far-sighted than her husband's, but due to the gender restrictions in society at that time, there was not enough stage for her to display her talents.
Fortunately, when her daughter showed her outstanding talents, women were finally able to reluctantly enter the world of politics.
But that was all. The Sakurai couple, a relatively well-known political couple, were active for only a few years before their deaths were "accidentally" discovered. No remains were found among the bodies that matched their two children. Mrs. Matsubara, having lived through many years and experienced life, was well aware of the situation and assumed all four had died in the fire. She remained indoors ever since.
"Back then, your parents were dedicated to opposing the establishment of a pharmaceutical company. That drug… cured many people, but also killed many. It's connected to the Kowloon Group. If you're looking for advice from me, I suggest you just forget about it. Over the years, the Kowloon Group has grown in strength, and many in the government have rallied behind them."
"I just wanted to come back and see you."
Old Madam Songyuan stared at her for a long time. "You have indeed grown up. And you are even more outstanding than I imagined. Your parents were both greenhouse flowers, but you, on the other hand... I don't know whether this is good or bad. I am already old, and the words of the elderly are always unpleasant to hear. But your grandfather is dead, your parents are dead, and your grandparents also died, one after another. I really don't want to handle anyone's funeral. If you die outside, don't tell me, just let me have a memory."
Sakurai Minami smiled softly: "I didn't let Ichika follow. She is in Sanwang Street in Sword. I have some friends next to her, so she is relatively safe. If I can't deal with Kowloon, I will ask them to send her here. You can send her abroad then."
"Just go for it," the old lady finally nodded. "That pharmaceutical factory is also in the Sword area. Ha, it's come a long way. They've sacrificed their lives for Sword, and now you're trying to raise the stakes on Sword. I don't know anything more about the pharmaceutical factory. This has been a thorn in Jiulong's heart for so many years. Maybe they've already removed it. But I guess you don't want to give up."
She said goodbye and left, but when she reached the door she heard a dog barking.
The servant scolded it: "Be quiet!" Then turned to Sakurai and apologized: "I'm sorry, it hasn't seen many people from outside..."
It was an adult golden retriever. Sakurai Nan said, "Huh?" "That dog, isn't it called 'Xiao Dou'?"
"Ah. Yes. How did you know...?"
"I was the one who delivered him. Where's his mother, Mary?"
"S-Sorry, I just got here recently... Its mother must have died..."
"Ah," Sakurai whispered. Mary was her best friend at the Matsubara residence. She was patient, loyal, and always full of love for her humans. But, come to think of it, she was already a very old dog when they last saw her. Ah... if they had had the awareness to neuter her, she might have lived longer.
However, it's too late to say this now.
Xiaodou did not remember the human who witnessed his birth. He was frightened when he saw a stranger and he barked loudly, but Sakurai saw that he tucked his tail between his legs.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
"goodbye!"
She walked slowly out of the mansion, and the doorman asked quietly if he wanted to arrange a taxi for her.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was the theme song from a currently popular children's animation. Sakurai Minami glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Amamiya Masataka. She waved her hand, "No thanks. Thank you for your hard work."
She thought Amemiya Masaki hated her to death. She also wanted to know what prompted Amemiya Masaki to call.
"Um, hello, I'm Sakurai."

The reason why the Amemiya brothers joined the battle was because Smoky from Wuming Street asked them to rescue his sister Lala with news about their eldest brother Amemiya Zunlong.
So, as soon as the matter was settled, they rushed to Nameless Street to find Smoky, and Smoky readily told them the news.
However, it was all in vain.
April 1st is the anniversary of the death of Amamiya's parents. While Amamiya Masaki and Hiroto are visiting their graves as usual, a woman being hunted by the Ueharakai appears. Aihua claims she's come with Amamiya Sonryū, who has been missing for a long time.
They followed her instructions and found the house where they had been temporarily living.
In this room, almost an entire wall is covered with news clippings collected by Amemiya Zunlong.
The keyword "redevelopment" appeared in several newspapers at the same time. Amemiya Masaki frowned and said, "Hey, Hiroto, has our factory been designated as a redevelopment area?"
"Please don't take this place away! I can't let our family live on the streets—" He had seen his father pleading with others like this.
Something is wrong.
Hiroto Amemiya walked over to him and began to read the newspaper on the wall carefully. But soon, he also frowned.
Titles like "MUGEN officially disbanded", "MUGEN leader Amber's whereabouts unknown", and "The Tsuchiya family of five disappeared".
"Why does big brother collect this information...?" Amemiya Hiroto murmured.
"Wait," Amemiya Masaki pointed at a newspaper. "Look at this—'Sudden Fire Confirms Death of Rising Politician Mr. and Mrs. Sakurai, Family of Four'."
This must have been cut from a tabloid. The news also included the names of the deceased: Sakurai Shouta (male host), Sakurai Kei (female host), Sakurai Minami (eldest daughter), and Sakurai Ichika (second daughter).
Isn't the girl that Sakurai, whose name is unknown, obsessed with named Ichika?
If they are sisters, then wouldn't the name of the second daughter, Sakurai Ichika, be correct?
"Hey," Guangdou called out to Aihua who was inside the room, "What...are these?"

"...These are all the events Mr. Zunlong believes are related to the Shangyuan Association," Aihua said after a long silence. She pulled out a newspaper she had previously placed at the bottom. It reported that on the 23rd, lawyer Yukio Naruse was found dead at home. The police confirmed the death by suicide after investigating the scene. "He didn't commit suicide... My father's suicide was faked because he obtained a USB drive containing Shangyuan Association secrets."
Yukio Naruse has always been determined to defend the weak. By chance, he obtained a USB flash drive containing the secrets of the Uesugi Society. He had no choice but to let Aihua escape with the USB flash drive. The Uesugi Society forced Aihua's father to death, and on the way to hunt down Aihua, Zunlong found her and protected her.
"What's in the USB drive?"
"I can't open it. It's encrypted... and a few days ago, Zunlong took the USB drive and ran away."
"That's why you came to find Big Brother... Damn, it's broken here again."
"He does it again!" Amemiya Hiroto slammed his fist on the door. "He doesn't even consider us as people he can communicate with! He doesn't care about us at all!"
"That's not the case," Aihua said, "He loves you very much... He doesn't want you to know that he's working for the Shangyuan Club. He's been waiting for an opportunity to join the Shangyuan Club to gather information. He doesn't want you to get involved..."
Hiroto Amemiya hit the cotton in one breath. He stopped talking.
