Chapter 113 Acting
After Higashino Hiroshi subdued the man, Kuriyama Midori immediately called the police, who arrived at the scene quickly.
Yamanakaji, who was cursing and swearing, felt guilty for a moment when he saw the police, but then he suddenly remembered something and became more confident. He even turned the tables and told the police that Kisaki Eri and his ex-wife had colluded to file for divorce just to divide up his money.
Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu, who came to the office, didn't believe him. They handcuffed him and put him in the car. During this time, Yamanaka Teraji continued to nag, even accusing the police.
Takagi warned: "Insulting the police and obstructing public service will result in detention."
Yamanaka Terashi immediately shut up.
Eri Kisaki turned down her afternoon work, and Higashino Hiroshi accompanied her to the police station to take a statement. They happened to meet Heibei Kuroda and Inspector Megure in the corridor.
Inspector Megure was surprised to see them, thinking they were involved in some crime. When he learned that Kisaki Eri had been attacked by a gangster, his face turned very ugly. He said, "Don't worry, we will help you get justice."
Kisaki Eri said: "The law firm has surveillance cameras, and everything that happened was recorded. That person has no way to make excuses." The direct evidence was right in front of them, and Yamanaka Tera Tsukasa could not escape.
Kisaki Eri chatted with them for a few more minutes, then Takagi Wataru came to find them, and the two followed him to take a statement.
Kuroda noticed that Eri Kisaki gently patted Higashino Higashi's back, looking very affectionate. When they entered the recording room, he asked Inspector Megure, "Has Attorney Kisaki reconciled with the Higashino family?"
Inspector Megure thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because the head of the Higashino family has been replaced." The one she had a conflict with was Higashino Xi's father, but he passed away not long ago, so of course she would get in touch with her nephew again.
Kurodabei nodded thoughtfully, then turned and left, followed closely by Inspector Megure.
After the statement was taken, the driver of the Higashino family was already waiting outside the Metropolitan Police Department, and Higashino went straight home. The first thing the driver did when he got home was to report to his eldest brother on his work today.
When the eldest brother learned that Dong Yexi had encountered gangsters again, his expression did not change at all, as if he was used to it. However, Dong Yexi still saw worry in his oppressive eyes.
"Brother, don't worry." Dong Yexi patted his chest and said, "I am no longer the same person I used to be. Now I can beat ten people in one breath without any effort!" After saying that, he showed off the muscles in his arms.
What he didn't know was that his muscles, which looked like they were squeezed out from clenched fists, were completely unconvincing.
The eldest brother stared at him silently, as if saying, "I will just watch you play the flute quietly."
"How about I prove my strength to you?" Dong Yexi said.
The eldest brother waved his hand and said, "Okay, I believe you. Go back and rest early."
Dong Yexi curled his lips and left in a huff. He regretted not being able to show his big brother his boxing skills.
After returning to the bedroom, he took out all of his mother's textbooks and notes from the box and flipped through them one by one, fearing that there might be something in them that was inconvenient for others to see.
After all, Hatori is a junior, and what Kisaki Eri can see, he may not be able to see.
However, these really do seem to be all study-related records, even including a review schedule for exam week, which is still very useful now. This shows that my mother is a very organized person.
Dong Yexi was flipping through a book when he suddenly found a small note. The note was stuck tightly between the pages of the book, and if he wasn't paying attention, he would have missed it. He picked it up and took a look. There was an address written on the note.
Dong Yexi's eyes fixed, and he immediately stood up and ran to where he had placed the gift box this morning. After opening the box, he saw the card with the address on it.
The two addresses are exactly the same!
After comparing, I found that even the handwriting is the same!
Dong Yexi stared at the two pieces of paper with deep eyes.
Who sent this?
My mother had tucked the note into her study materials, suggesting she might have casually slipped it in after receiving it. But it's been over twenty years now, and the note has begun to yellow. Why, more than twenty years later, would this person send me another one? What exactly is in that cafe?
Dong Yexi couldn't figure it out, and finally decided to go to the coffee shop tomorrow to see who sent him the gift box and what they wanted from him.
\\
Dong Yetao pushed open the office door and saw his good second brother lying on the sofa with a game console in his hand, staring at the interface without blinking, and simulating sound effects. He frowned, closed the office door, and said, "Didn't I arrange an office for you? Why do you have to come to my place to play?"
Dong Yelang said casually: "Aren't you afraid of hurting your employees?"
Dong Yetao paused in pulling his tie, looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why did it affect them?"
Dong Yelang continued to indulge in the game and said, "Think about it, everyone is working hard to make money, but their boss is playing games in the office. How can they feel balanced? To make them feel better, I won't play under their noses."
Dong Ye Tao: "...Then you're going to play in front of me, the president?" He walked to his desk and sat down, saying dissatisfiedly.
"Hey! Who are we? Given our relationship, what's wrong with playing games in your office?" When Dong Yelang's game reached its most intense point, he sat up and stared at the screen intently, pressing keys with his fingers so quickly that afterimages could be seen.
The intense key-clicking sounds lasted for more than ten seconds, and finally the sound of failure came from the game console.
Dong Yelang: "Tsk, it's all your fault for distracting me by talking to me. Otherwise I would have passed this level."
Dong Yetao rolled his eyes. "Is it my fault for the relationship? Go back to your office immediately. Won't the employees below feel unbalanced if you're not in the office all the time?"
Dong Yelang lay back down, restarted the game, and said, "I'm not really here for work. It doesn't matter whether I'm in the office or not."
Dong Yetao snorted coldly: "Who told you that you don't have to work? Since you joined my company, you have to work for me!"
"Sigh..." Dong Yelang sighed, "If it weren't for the death of my spouse, I wouldn't have to come here to work. I've only been here a few days, and I already feel haggard. This work is really exhausting!"
"...You're late and leave early every day. You slack off at work and don't do anything. And you look haggard?" The office area is full of surveillance cameras, and he knows exactly what his second brother does all day.
"I'm starting the game, don't talk." Dong Yelang said.
Even though they were told not to, they insisted on speaking. Dong Ye Tao asked, "Have you checked the identities of those people?" Recently, many people had approached the Dong Ye family under various pretexts. They sensed something was amiss and investigated them all.
"Well, there are only a few forces coming and going, nothing much has changed." Dong Yelang stared at the screen and said nonchalantly.
Some are simply looking to curry favor, some are undercover agents from competing companies, and some are members of illegal organizations.
"But I really didn't expect that the organization would make a comeback. They clearly gave up on conquering our country more than ten years ago." Dong Yetao leaned back in his chair and said in a deep voice.
"What's so confusing about that? They're targeting the lab's new technology." Dong Yelang lost another game and angrily threw his console aside. He recalled, "You were young back then, so you didn't know the details. That organization was intent on taking over the entire Dongye Group. If the old man hadn't noticed something was amiss and eliminated a group of shareholders, the Dongye Group might have changed its name."
"Although Big Brother's character wasn't great, his methods were formidable. He kept the group impenetrable, and few corporate spies managed to get in over the years. However, his management style was somewhat outdated, causing Xiaoxu a lot of trouble."
Dong Yetao said: "If he stays in power for a few more years, the group will go downhill."
"That's all thanks to you being willing to play that role with Xiaoxu. You eliminated a lot of hidden dangers," Dong Yelang sighed. "Xiaoxu is truly capable, having been able to complete the system reform without causing any major disruptions and bring the group to a new level."
"Humph." Dong Yetao snorted lightly, "Otherwise I wouldn't give up the inheritance rights."
Dong Yelang shook his head and smiled. He knew his younger brother had no intention of inheriting the Dongye Group; he simply lacked an excuse to leave. Just as his eldest brother was considering stepping back, the two of them staged a show, fooling a group of old foxes. To this day, some still believe there's a genuine rift between them.
They don’t even think about the fact that the uncle and nephew are the same age, and they are the only two of the same age in the whole family, so how bad can their relationship be?
Moreover, during their middle school years, there was someone in the family who directly suppressed their rebellious thoughts.
Dong Yelang said, "Xiao Xu took the initiative to set up a medical laboratory. At first, no one was optimistic about it. But now, under his leadership, the laboratory has produced one result after another, and published one paper after another, which has slapped those people in the face. Which of those rival companies hasn't tried to get people in there?"
He continued, "That organization must have also set their sights on the laboratory, otherwise they wouldn't have sent such an outstanding doctor like Ayana Hayama." He touched his chin and said regretfully, "What a pity for a girl with such a bright future."
"Are you sure she is from that organization?" Dong Ye Tao asked.
"It's almost certain," Dong Yelang said. "Several of her documents clearly show signs of forgery. While it's possible she was sent by someone else, my intuition tells me it's her."
"So, what did that Hatori Yuiichi say?" Dong Ye Tao said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xi seems to like him very much."
Higashino Lang was silent for a moment and said, "Anyway, the information on all the documents is true." Not long after Hatori Yui met Higashino Xi, the Higashino family investigated him; afterwards, many people with ulterior motives surrounded Higashino Lang and others, so they checked again and confirmed that there was no problem with his identity.
Dong Yetao breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.
Dong Yelang said, "Don't worry about Xiao Xu. He's completely immune to emotions. He acts as if he doesn't notice anyone flirting with him. Yushan Ayana approached him so many times, but he didn't even realize she was trying to seduce him. I don't know if it's his fault or if Yushan Ayana isn't professional enough."
"Don't worry about your sister, your brother-in-law is helping to keep an eye on her. Besides, she's seen a lot of the world. She's already been to red-light districts since she was just an adult. She doesn't care about those little tricks."
Dong Yetao concluded: "So you are the most dangerous person in this family."
Dong Yelang shrugged. "I know. So I was planning to end it once and for all. Who knew such an accident would happen? Luckily I haven't got the marriage certificate yet, otherwise I would have become a widower legally."
In order to avoid "peach blossom", he decided to sacrifice himself and step into the grave of marriage. He even found a woman who thought he was very smart and acted out "true love from heaven". However, he didn't know that this woman was not only stupid, but also cruel and had bad luck. She was killed by her enemy on the eve of the wedding, destroying his perfect plan.
Fortunately, he can still continue to play the role of "losing true love" and "breaking off all feelings and love", and come to his brother's place to find some peace and quiet.
He reminded her, "Don't just talk about me. Also, you've had a lot of people trying to get close to you lately, haven't they? Don't let anyone get you into trouble."
Dong Yetao tilted his head and snorted coldly: "I curse people like this every time I see them. So they will only appear in front of me once at most."
Dong Yelang was stunned. He had never thought that being sharp-tongued could have such benefits. Was it because he was so easy to talk to that so many people surrounded him?
Alas, there's nothing he can do. He was born with this personality, and he couldn't say harsh words to beautiful women!
Dongye Lang is very satisfied with his personality and has no intention of changing it. After this period of time, Dongye·Playboy·Lang will make a comeback!
