Chapter 2124 2132 [Deep Thoughts]
Having said that, to be on the safe side, Hashimoto Maya strongly recommended that Jiang Xia bring Suzuki Sonoko with her when she goes.
——Mrs. Su Fang looks like a good person, but as the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover: what if after Jiang Xia is tricked into coming over, she uses some unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, or what if she shows up but refuses to give the land?
Hashimoto Maya: “…” But it’s different if Suzuki Sonoko is brought along.
Mrs. Sufang is Suzuki Ayako's friend, so she must give some face to Suzuki's sister. It is impossible for her to do anything to trick people into joining her agency in front of Suzuki Sonoko.
Moreover, Hashimoto Maya was certain that Suzuki Sonoko would definitely help with this matter - according to the frequency of Usa's minions, he must have subordinates in the entertainment industry. And Jiang Xia's time was limited. If he really went to the entertainment industry to develop, Suzuki Sonoko would have less time to contact him.
Therefore, the eldest daughter of the consortium will definitely not let Jiang Xia enter that circle and increase the number of competitors - although the colleague Juan Wang is annoying, he can be a good teammate when the goals are the same.
Maya Hashimoto did not explain the reason in such detail, but Jiang Xia was indeed a good boss who treated his assistant well. He did not ask any questions, but immediately accepted the suggestion.
There is a small problem though.
Jiang Xia: "In addition to Sonoko, let's take Xiaolan and Conan along as well. I heard that the lady has a lot of interesting collections in her villa. It's a good opportunity for everyone to visit together."
Hashimoto Maya thought of the little kid with glasses: "..."
The number of hateful competitors has increased.
…
On that day, Maya Hashimoto drove and several people went to Mrs. Sufang's villa built in the suburbs.
The environment here is beautiful and the air is fresh, but unfortunately, it was cloudy when they came, and it was also winter. The trees in the forest were bare, and the branches stretched straight to the sky, and the atmosphere was gloomy.
The weather always easily affects people's mood, but for Maya Hashimoto, the person who had the greatest impact on her mood was one of her elementary school student colleagues.
"Uncle Hashimoto has been in close contact with big shots recently." Conan leaned back in his seat with his hands on the back of his head, and started to brainwash an innocent member of the organization. "First, he introduced the Xun family to Brother Jiang Xia, and then he met the people of the Tozawa Group with us, and now there is a Ms. Sufang - just like those handsome villains in novels!"
Veins popped up on Hashimoto Maya's forehead: "..." You might as well put it more clearly. Don't think that just because you added the word "handsome" I don't know that you want Jiang Xia to become suspicious of me.
Jiang Xia leaned back in the passenger seat, sipping wave after wave of iced black tea, thinking that Kudo-san was the right person to bring him along: it was a pity that Boss Amuro couldn't hire child laborers, otherwise he would have had to find a way to sign Conan under his command, and then he could travel around with his left and right bodyguards.
Maya Hashimoto was very tired. It would be fine if these were just coincidences, but he knew very well in his heart: knowing these big shots was not a coincidence at all, but there was a dark hand secretly manipulating behind the scenes.
Thinking of the owner of the black hands, Maya Hashimoto didn't dare to explain, worried that something she said might backfire and she would fall into the trap of this hateful old employee.
So he used an adult's way to easily solve the problem: "Little boy, uncle must concentrate on driving - the dinner party that Mrs. Sufang is going to host this time is about car accidents. I can't get into an accident because of distraction on the way to her house. That would be too funny."
Conan pushed his glasses silently: "..." Threat, naked threat! On the surface, this person was saying that it was unsafe to chat while driving, but in fact, what Hashimoto Maya wanted to express must be that the lives of the other people in the car were under his control.
After all, there was only one road here, and it was very flat without any sharp turns. Moreover, they were the only car on the entire road. Even someone who had only driven a bumper car before could drive the car here safely. However, Hashimoto Maya, an experienced driver, said that he didn't dare to be distracted to answer questions...
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden "squeak" sound of tires rubbing against the ground, and the vehicle suddenly braked.
Conan, who was sitting in the middle of the back seat, was caught off guard and flew out from the middle of the seat. However, before he could hit the front window of the car, a friendly hand was extended from the passenger seat, and Jiang Xia pushed the person back to his seat.
Conan fell back with a thud, holding his head and asked: "Why did you brake suddenly?!"
Could it be that Hashimoto Maya had guessed what he said, so she measured the positions of everyone in the car and planned to use this to accurately silence them?
Different people obviously have very different understandings of the same thing - at the same time, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko blurted out: "Flat tire?!"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "There is something on the road."
He opened the door and got out of the car, and several students in the back seat followed him out of curiosity.
A few people walked around to the front of the car and saw a fallen dead tree lying across the road, just blocking half of the lane. It seemed to have been fallen quite deliberately.
Not only was it blocking the road neatly, but there was also a large, eye-catching piece of white paper nailed to the trunk.
Hashimoto Maya stared at the paper and said in her heart, "..." It started! Uzo really wouldn't let go of such an interesting celebrity!
While he was in a daze, Jiang Xia walked up to him, removed the white paper, and unfolded it to take a look.
Inside, I saw words cut from newspapers, collaged into a threatening letter:
[If you dare to help Sufang Hongzi host that charity dinner, I will make you regret it.
——The Messenger of the Cursed Mask]
"The messenger of the cursed mask?" Mao Lilan touched her arm. "What the hell is this? It sounds scary."
Suzuki Sonoko was a bit more daring. She snorted, "It's probably a little trick of a competitor. Really, if you have a grudge against Mrs. Sufang, just go to her face to face to deal with it. Why make things difficult for an innocent guest passing by?"
They almost crashed their car into a tree and died.
The enthusiastic detective sighed and said, "I heard that Mrs. Sufang has invited other guests today. It's too dangerous to leave the tree across the road. Let's move it away."
The fallen solid trees were very heavy, but it was no big deal in front of this group of people.
Not long after, the tree was thrown onto the muddy ground nearby. Everyone returned to the car, wiped their hands, and continued on their way.
After walking for a while, we gradually saw a magnificent European-style mansion in front of us. The mansion was symmetrically distributed, with a total of three floors, and a spacious courtyard in front. It had just snowed, and the white snow decorated the dark walls, making it look like... a gorgeous theater.
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
He turned into the yard silently and parked the car obediently.
