Chapter 13 Judy as my secretary?
Chapter 13 Judy as my secretary?
Lin Xiuyi immediately understood, and with a troubled expression, he said vaguely, "Well... as you know, Lin Xiaolan's birth was an accident. If outsiders found out, it would greatly damage Yingli's reputation as a lawyer, so we've been keeping it a secret."
He deliberately left things unsaid, leaving the rest for Kuriyama Midori to fill in the blanks in her mind.
This is a "lying technique" he has honed over the years: never tell a lie completely, leave some gaps for the other person to fill in themselves. Once the other person gets involved, they will believe the lie without a doubt.
Sure enough, Kuriyama Midori instantly conjured up an entire "emotional drama" in her mind:
Eri Kisaki fell in love with the young man in front of her, and the two secretly became pregnant.
But the gigolo only wanted to swindle money and refused to take any responsibility.
Eri Kisaki had no choice but to secretly give birth to the child and raise it in seclusion, fearing damage to her reputation.
To make up for what he felt he had neglected his younger daughter, he even gave her the same name as his older daughter, to show that he treated both daughters equally...
"Teacher, you've had such a tough time all these years!"
Kuriyama Midori looked at Eri Kisaki with red eyes and a tone full of heartache, completely unaware of the helpless twitch at the corner of Eri Kisaki's mouth.
"Never mind that for now." Eri Kisaki suppressed her amusement and frustration, picked up the landline on the table, and quickly dialed the number for the Mouri Detective Agency. "Ran might have gone to Ruri's place. Let me ask her first."
The phone rang with a busy tone for a long time, but no one answered.
Eri Kisaki's expression grew increasingly grim: "If Ran were at the office, she wouldn't not answer the phone."
The events of yesterday were all huge shocks to Xiaolan.
Being suddenly told that "Shinichi Kudo is his half-brother" and witnessing his parents' intimate behavior would be unbearable for any child.
Eri Kisaki grew increasingly frightened, fearing that Ran might do something foolish in a moment of despair.
"I'll go check on Kogoro right now!" Lin Xiuyi made a quick decision, grabbed his coat from the sofa, and headed out. "Eri, call Ran again and ask who she might have been in contact with."
"Okay!" Eri nodded immediately, turned around to look through her contacts, then suddenly remembered something, quickly walked to the entrance, picked up the car keys hanging on the hook and handed them over, "You just returned to Japan, it's inconvenient not having a car, take mine!"
Even her car has to be driven by Attorney Fei?
He really is a good-for-nothing pretty boy!
Kuriyama Midori, standing to the side, secretly curled her lip. Although she knew the situation was urgent, she couldn't help but despise Hayashi Hideichi in her heart once again.
But to her surprise, Lin Xiu didn't take the keys either; instead, she looked at her watch.
"No need, judging by the time, they should be here soon."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a crisp knock came at the apartment door.
"Teacher, I'll go open the door! Maybe Miss Lin Lan is back!"
Kuriyama Midori volunteered to go to the door, but the moment she opened it, she froze on the spot.
Standing outside the door was not Lin Lan, but four burly men in black suits. Each of them was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and narrow waists, and their faces were expressionless. They looked like men who were not to be trifled with.
Behind the burly man stood a blonde beauty.
She wore large black-rimmed glasses, a low-cut top, and a bodycon skirt, which perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.
Her delicate features, paired with her dazzling blonde hair, made her so stunning that it was impossible to look away.
"Who...who are you looking for?"
Kuriyama Midori instinctively took a half step back, her voice trembling slightly, her hand gripping the doorknob tightly as she warily eyed the person outside.
Lin Xiuyi had already walked to her side, looking past her towards the door.
"Where's the car? Is everything ready?"
Upon hearing this, the four burly men at the door relaxed their tense expressions. One of them, a man with a Chinese face, stepped forward and nodded respectfully: "Boss, the car is downstairs."
These four men were Lin Xiuyi's personal bodyguards in the United States. Two were Chinese and two were white. All of them had served in the war and, after retiring, underwent professional training from top security companies. Their skills and vigilance were top-notch.
Lin Xiu nodded, her gaze falling on the blonde beauty, but her brows furrowed slightly: "You are... Angela?"
Angela was his secretary in America, and she was meticulous and thorough in her work. According to the plan, she was supposed to come to Japan with bodyguards.
"Boss," Li Long, the Chinese bodyguard who had just spoken, leaned closer to Lin Xiuyi and explained in a low voice, "Miss Angela had a sudden family emergency before she was supposed to leave, so she couldn't go. This lady was temporarily sent by the company headquarters to take over Miss Angela's work."
The blonde beauty stepped forward, bowed slightly, and introduced herself in fluent Japanese, her voice sweet and alluring: "Hello, boss, I am Judy Saint-Temilion, temporarily taking over as Miss Angela's secretary."
"Oh, hello..."
Upon hearing what she said, Lin Xiu instinctively extended her right hand.
The blonde beauty immediately grasped it without hesitation.
As she separated her hands, her little finger playfully hooked around Lin Xiuyi's palm.
"you……"
Lin Xiuyi's reaction was rather strange; he stared blankly at Judy.
Holy crap, isn't that the FBI agent?
No wonder the look seemed familiar.
Why is this beautiful woman working as my secretary instead of being pursued by the FBI for Vermouth?
Lin Xiuyi was completely baffled, and Judy across from him was also somewhat puzzled.
Based on the information she had previously obtained, this Japanese tycoon named Hayashi Hideichi should be a notorious womanizer.
Today is her first time meeting her boss, and for the success of her undercover mission...
She had deliberately worn a low-cut top, and the playful gesture with her little finger when shaking hands was also an attempt to flirt with the boss and avoid being fired.
Unexpectedly, the other party's reaction was strange. They didn't seem to be captivated by her beauty; there was only some surprise in their eyes.
Did I do something wrong?
Judy maintained a respectful smile, but her heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't help but begin to doubt her undercover strategy.
The atmosphere at the entrance became somewhat strange for a moment.
The four bodyguards looked at each other in bewilderment. Although Kuriyama Midori found it strange, she did not dare to interrupt.
Eri Kisaki stood behind Shuichi Hayashi, and seeing that he hadn't moved for a while, she assumed he was once again captivated by the blonde beauty in front of him, and suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
"Your company's new secretary is really perfect for you!"
"Huh? Oh..."
Lin Xiuyi then realized that this was not the time to dwell on Judy's identity.
"This is my fiancée!"
He introduced Eri to the four bodyguards and the new secretary, and then took out a photo of Ran when she was a child, which he had found in the room.
"Judy, drive me to the Mouri Detective Agency."
"This is a picture of my daughter. Li Long, you four, take this picture to the police station and say she's American and missing. Ask the police to help you find her..."
