Chapter 284 Discovering a Shocking Secret
284
The layout inside came into view, and Tang Yue peered inside. She saw a number of documents, letters, and several thick books. She couldn't wait to pick up the top document and quickly flip through it.
The contents of the document surprised her. It actually recorded a cooperation agreement between the Miyazaki family and a mysterious organization. Tang Yue seemed to have seen the logo of this mysterious organization somewhere before, but for a moment she was a little confused.
When Tang Yue saw the contents clearly, she understood. A cold smile crossed her lips. It turned out that this symbol was the underground secret symbol of the Jiushan family, unknown to the general public.
This agreement was signed privately between Miyazaki Rin and Hatoyama Nikawa. The document clearly stated that the two had new plans for Japan's economy, seemingly aiming to control the nation's economic lifeline. Tang Yue didn't pay much attention to it; it had nothing to do with her; she didn't care about anything related to Japan.
Putting the document aside, Tang Yue continued to look through other documents and found that some names and places were mentioned in these documents, which seemed to be important information related to this mysterious organization.
Hua Guowen's name was marked in brackets after each of these names. Tang Yue's heart beat faster involuntarily, and she realized that she seemed to have discovered a shocking secret.
She put the documents aside and picked up the letters next to them. The contents of these letters were more obscure, but Tang Yue still managed to piece together some key information.
It turns out that this mysterious organization, which is the dark power of the Hatoyama family, is planning a huge conspiracy. Their target seems to be the entire Japan, and may even involve other countries.
The Miyazaki family plays a key role in this conspiracy, not only providing support to the mysterious organization but also attempting to exploit this opportunity to expand their own power. For the past decade, they have shared a common goal: to invade China. Years of war had not brought down China militarily, but had actually liberated it. Unwilling to resign themselves to this, they now aim to plunder, both economically and through the complete plunder of its resources.
Tang Yue felt her fists harden. She decided to take all the documents and letters with her and hand them over to the relevant authorities as evidence upon her return. She could wipe out this family, but how long would she be able to do so alone?
Some things don't seem to require force. Perhaps, if word gets out, Japan will be able to wipe them out on its own. Even the Emperor wouldn't just sit there and watch others destroy his power, right?
Just as she was about to throw the document into the space, she suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from outside. She raised her brow slightly, threw the document into the space, held her breath, and listened carefully to the movement outside.
The footsteps were getting closer. Tang Yue held her breath and hid behind the desk. The door to the study was slowly pushed open, and a flashlight beam shone in. Through the gap in the desk, she saw a figure walk into the study. It was Miyazaki Takuya's right-hand man, Hirayama Ichiro.
Hirayama Ichiro looked around the study, his eyes revealing a sense of vigilance. He seemed to have sensed something unusual and walked straight towards the desk.
Tang Yue held the dagger in his hand calmly, ready to strike at any time.
Just as Hirayama Ichiro was about to reach the desk, he suddenly heard an owl's cry from outside the window. Hirayama Ichiro was startled, stopped, and looked out the window. Tang Yue didn't hide anymore and took the opportunity to rush out from behind the desk, jumped onto the desk, and directly put a dagger to Hirayama Ichiro's neck.
"Don't make a sound, or you will die!" Tang Yue lowered her voice and said coldly.
Hirayama Ichiro's body froze instantly. He didn't dare to move and could only obey. "Young lady, why are you here?" Hirayama Ichiro asked calmly.
During the day, Miyazaki Takuya went to the hotel with Hirayama Ichiro. Tang Yue's voice was very recognizable. Even if she lowered her voice deliberately, the softness could not be completely concealed.
This was one of Tang Yue's biggest headaches. Being short and having a soft voice were two of her biggest problems.
Tang Yue didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "What exactly is the conspiracy between the Miyazaki family and that mysterious organization? What is your purpose?"
Hirayama Ichiro hesitated for a moment and said nothing. Tang Yue increased the strength of her hand, and the tip of the dagger pierced Hirayama Ichiro's skin, oozing a trace of blood. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Hirayama Ichiro seemed to give in.
But before Tang Yue could hear a single word, Hirayama Ichiro raised his head and tried to grab Tang Yue's wrist, which was holding the dagger. Tang Yue's other hand directly dismantled Hirayama Ichiro's arm. Hirayama Ichiro groaned, not daring to cry out.
After all, his appearance in the old man's study at this time was something that could not be explained. If someone found out, the old man would have no way to clear himself.
Tang Yue's voice turned colder, "How dishonest."
Since he didn't want to tell the truth, Tang Yue didn't intend to press him any further. She simply knocked Hirayama Ichiro unconscious and used the invisibility talisman to return to her room.
Throwing the man to the ground, Tang Yue sighed softly. She originally wanted to rely entirely on her own strength, but in that situation, it would be too unsafe to stay in the study.
Fortunately, she took away all the things in the study and left nothing for the old man.
Tang Yue pulled a packet of Veritaserum from her bag. She poured a little of the powder into a glass of water and forced it down Hirayama Ichiro's throat. After a while, Hirayama Ichiro's eyes became blurry, and he began to answer Tang Yue's questions uncontrollably.
"Tell me, when did the Miyazaki family start collaborating with that mysterious organization?"
Hirayama Ichiro replied dully, "I don't know. The master noticed that the old master seemed to be collaborating with someone, but the old master disliked the master's inability to achieve great things, so he kept it a secret from the master. That's why the master asked me to come and find out."
Tang Yue...is she not satisfied with this answer?
"Your master doesn't know anything about this?"
Hirayama Ichiro shook his head. "The master is responsible for the family's internal affairs. The old master never let him get involved in matters related to communication with the outside world. I know even less about it."
Tang Yue felt that what Yamamoto Ichiro said made sense. "What does your master usually do?"
"Things about the mines. Originally, the master was in charge of three mining areas, but he often secretly took some of the better quality products home. He was discovered by the people on the second old master's side, so now the master is only in charge of one mining area."
“Where are the mining areas?”
"The surrounding mountains are all mining areas. But most people can't get in there. My uncle is in charge of a small mine on the south side of the mountain."
Guanqi County was quite large, and Tang Yue hadn't spent the mental energy to explore it all. She hadn't even found the mining area yet. This was a good opportunity to ask.
“Is it all gold?”
"No, there are several silver mines in the north mountain, and the quality is quite good. There is also a jade mine further north, but the quality is not very good and the quantity is not large. The rest are gold mines."
Tang Yue thought to herself, "Wow, this house is so well built, it seems all the money was mined for nothing." "Why haven't I heard of any mines here?"
A smug look flashed across Hirayama Ichiro's face. "Of course. Now the entire Guanqi County is under the control of the Miyazaki family. As long as the Miyazaki family doesn't announce it to the outside world, outsiders will definitely not know the secret of Guanqi County."
Tang Yue wanted to punch him in the face, but she felt it was unnecessary and a waste of energy. "Do you know about the cooperation between the Miyazaki family and the Hatoyama family?"
Confusion flashed across Hirayama Ichiro's face, as if he had never heard of this news. Tang Yue knew that she couldn't get what she wanted to know, so she simply broke Hirayama Ichiro's neck.
Hirayama Ichiro's coming here must have been instructed by Miyazaki Takuya. The Miyazaki family seemed united on the surface, but in fact, they were in chaos. However, Hirayama Ichiro had not returned, and Miyazaki Takuya would definitely notice it. Tang Yue decided to speed up the process.
