He opened the office door.
“Since the victim is dead and we haven’t received any reports, we can’t collect any evidence from Inagawa Hanahi, so she can leave.” Aunt Mahi suddenly spoke, still looking down at the case file without looking up.
"Okay, I understand." Shirakawa Natsu agreed. He brought Inagawa Hanahi in as part of a plan to help the mother and daughter resolve their misunderstandings.
It seems that it has not had any effect.
This is also expected.
If reconciliation were so easy, the mother and daughter wouldn't have remained estranged for so many years.
"We need to think of a solution." Shirakawa Natsu closed the office door, leaving her aunt alone in the office.
To completely win over the aunt, you must get the mother and daughter to recognize each other.
He arrived at the temporary detention cell but did not see Inagawa Hanahi. After inquiring, he learned that she had left half an hour earlier.
Shirakawa Natsu wanted to go to the Yamagishi Group to find her, but as soon as she walked out of the police station, she saw her standing at the door.
"What, you don't want to leave?"
Inagawa Hanahime stood there without turning her head, saying nothing.
Shirakawa Natsu stood beside her:
“Auntie loves you very much. Your room has never been touched. She often goes to clean it. I think she has been waiting for you to come back one day.”
"This is none of your business." Inagawa Hanahi's face showed impatience as she turned her head, her expression disdainful: "What right do you have to argue with me, her boyfriend?"
“I have nothing to do with her, so why do you think I would listen to a lecture from the boyfriend of a woman I have nothing to do with?”
“You’ve misunderstood.” Shirakawa Natsu shrugged. “Although I don’t know why you have such a distorted understanding, I’m not lecturing you from your aunt’s perspective.”
"What is that, friend?" Inagawa Hanahi looked at his expression as if he were watching a joke.
“No.” Shirakawa Natsu waved his hand: “I am a strong person. I can find a way to deal with the Mizuta Group in a day. Why do you think I won’t take action against the Inagawa Group?”
"Huh?" Inagawa Hanahi was stunned. Her expression was bewildered, completely confused by Shirakawa Natsu's words.
"No need to look so surprised." Shirakawa Natsu looked at her: "You don't want the Inagawa-kai that your grandfather gave you to disappear in your hands, do you?"
Inagawa Hanahi's expression shifted from initial confusion to astonishment, and finally to anger. She abruptly reached out and grabbed his collar: "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
“I’m not lying. I was just about to go to the Yamagishi Group, let’s go together.” Shirakawa Natsu let her grab her collar and flagged down a taxi on the side of the road.
Inagawa Hana could only glare at him before finally getting into a taxi.
The two soon arrived at the Yamagishi Group.
Having learned from her previous experience, Shirakawa Natsu took the elevator directly to the top floor and knocked on Yuzuriha Yu's office door.
She was sitting behind her desk when she saw the two of them come in, and she smiled and said, "Xia, Huafei, it seems you two get along well."
"Yuzuriha-nee." Inagawa Hanahi greeted Yuzuriha Yu with a respectful attitude, her expression not looking good.
"Isn't Yamagishi-nee here?" Shirakawa Natsu only saw Yuzuriha Yu.
"Yes, the Mizuta Group no longer exists, and the other yakuza groups in Tokyo no longer pose a threat to us." Yuzuriha Yu smiled gently.
"She can also feel at ease looking for my husband's illegitimate daughter, after all, that was her main purpose in returning to Dongguo."
After last night's battle, the arrogant Mizuta Group was wiped out overnight.
With this victory, the Yamagishi Group rose above all other yakuza organizations.
Naturally, they wouldn't cause trouble during this time period.
"Xia, is there something you need from your older sister?" Yuzuriha Yu stood up from behind her desk, a half-smile on her face. "Anyway, you wouldn't think of coming to see your older sister if you didn't have something to do."
"It's about the Inagawa Association." Shirakawa Natsu glanced at Inagawa Hanahi, whose face turned ashen the moment he mentioned the Inagawa Association.
After Yamagishi Hika left.
Yuzuriha Yu absorbed all the Yamagishi family's criminal activities and businesses into the Inagawa-kai, and then used the remaining legitimate businesses to establish the Yamagishi Group.
Of course, Inagawa will remain at the subsistence level for a long time.
This backdoor listing was completed.
Inagawa-kai suddenly became number one in Tokyo, at the cost of Inagawa Hanahi becoming the mascot president.
Shirakawa Natsumi didn't hide anything and directly told Yuzuriha Yu about the relationship between Inagawa Hanahi and Aunt Maki.
This wasn't a secret to begin with; Yuzuriha Yu most likely knew it too, she was just pretending.
"Hanahi, I'm sorry." Yuzuriha Yu looked apologetic: "As you know, our Inagawa-kai is no match for him. Even if he makes such an excessive request, from the Yamagishi family's perspective, I have no way to refuse."
Upon hearing this, Inagawa Hanahi's face turned ashen, and her hands clenched tightly. Of course, she knew this would be the outcome, but hearing it in person still made her feel betrayed.
“However, I think our relationship is not just about family ties.” Yuzuriha Yu looked at Shirakawa Natsu with a smile: “As your older sister, I refuse the proposal to remove Inagawa Hanahi from the position of president.”
She paused, then smiled and said, "If you can get her to accept you as her father, then as her older sister, I will agree to your request."
Chapter 411 Seven Days of Cohabitation
"Hey, this is so weird." Shirakawa Natsu looked at Inagawa Hanahi, who had the same expression, but at least she felt relieved compared to being dismissed directly.
“Because you haven’t gotten to know each other.” Yuzuriha smiled and held Shirakawa Natsu’s hand. “Natsu doesn’t want to become one of those devilish godfathers on TV, the kind that air in prime-time dramas, does he?”
She then turned to look at Inagawa Hanahi, took her hand, and placed their palms together:
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the two of you to live together for the next seven days, giving each other a chance to get to know each other again, and then discuss this issue?"
Shirakawa Natsu hesitated. Her aunt said she wanted to spend time with Kanna this week, and there was no problem with the time.
He glanced at Hua Fei out of the corner of his eye; the two had known each other for a long time.
He couldn't quite describe his feelings for Hua Fei; she was a woman who always had a sour face and acted pretentious.
“Mother is very sensitive.” Yuzuriha whispered in his ear, “Natsu can certainly use force to make her submit, but he can’t fool Mother.”
Shirakawa Natsu remained silent. Of course, he had considered this issue, but he had no other options.
Yuzuriha Yu leaned closer to Inagawa Hanahi and whispered in her ear, "With the Yamagishi family's current influence in the East, and Xia's strength, they're more than capable of protecting your mother. Hanahi, give yourself a chance. You want to know what kind of person your mother's boyfriend is, don't you?"
Inagawa Hanahi frowned, then relaxed her brows.
"It seems we've reached an agreement. Please get along well with me for the next seven days. I will be your witness." Yuzuriha Yu clasped her hands together, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.
Judging from her expression, Shirakawa Natsumi figured she just wanted to have some fun.
Neither of them objected to the suggestion.
Neither of them spoke after leaving the Yamagishi Group.
Yuzuriha gave her a seven-day break so she wouldn't have to worry about anything at the group.
Uncle Genki drove the two of them to their apartment.
After Inagawa Hanahi got into the car, she turned her head away and looked out the window, not glancing at him or saying a word. The atmosphere in the car was very heavy.
“Uncle Genki, I’ll leave those thugs from the Mizuta Group to you.” Shirakawa Natsu took the initiative to speak. His original plan was to use Genki as bait to hold off the Mizuta Group’s experts.
He kept saying he couldn't win and that it would be dangerous.
Later, Nao told her that when she arrived, everyone had already been wiped out by Genki.
"Hehe." Xuanmu chuckled, touching his bald head. "I didn't expect those young people to come at me one by one, without sneaking up or using guns. Young people these days are quite righteous."
Shirakawa Natsu chuckled awkwardly, glancing at Inagawa Hanahi.
She rested her chin on her hand, watching the cars rush past outside the window, her expression blank, lost in thought.
Unlike Kanna, who inherited her mother's good looks and voluptuous figure, she...
Hanabi has a slender figure, her chest is less than a B cup, and she is dressed appropriately. Unlike Yuzuriha Yu, who looks expensive, she is more like a young urban woman.
The vehicle stopped in front of an ordinary apartment building.
"We've arrived." Xuanmu smiled and gestured for the two to get out of the car. "President, please take care of me this week, Brother Xia. Call me anytime if you need anything."
After he finished speaking, he greeted the two men and drove away.
Only Hua Fei and he remained at the scene.
"Let's go." Inagawa Hanahi lifted her leg and walked towards the apartment, not looking at him, and showing no intention of continuing the conversation.
"You live here?" Shirakawa Natsu looked up. It was an ordinary luxury apartment, not even as luxurious as the one he lived in. It was completely different from the luxurious image of a yakuza boss that he had imagined.
“The group’s financial situation wasn’t good before, and I didn’t like living in the old house, so I moved here.” Inagawa Hanahi walked into the apartment lobby and skillfully swiped her access card.
"After the Yamagishi family merged into the Inagawa-kai, everyone knew that I was just a figurehead chairman, so there was no need to worry about my safety."
The two took the elevator to the twelfth floor.
Inagawa Hanahi unlocked the door with her fingerprint and entered without turning her head: "Come in."
“Okay.” Shirakawa Natsu followed closely behind. The apartment was small, a typical one-bedroom apartment. Upon entering the foyer, eight cardboard boxes were neatly stacked together in the corner.
These cardboard boxes are used to store items when moving. Judging from the dust on the boxes, they have been there for at least six months.
"I brought these things with me when I moved, and I haven't organized them, so they're just left here," Inagawa Hanahi said, handing him a pair of slippers with a blank expression.
Shirakawa Natsu looked at her suspiciously: "I thought you would say something more tactful about this."
“There’s no need. We’ve already agreed to get to know each other, so let’s just show our most authentic selves.” Inagawa Hanahi’s voice was flat: “How old are you?”
“He’s a year older than your sister, he’ll be 20 in two months.” Shirakawa Natsu changed into slippers and turned to take in the entire apartment, where there was a game console plugged in in front of the TV.
It's truly real enough.
Perhaps Yuzuriha Yu's suggestion is good.
Living together is absurd, but it's the most efficient way to get to know someone.
"By the way, how old are you?"
Inagawa Hanahi looked at him: "23."
After she finished speaking, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became heavy.
"It's okay, I'll call you sister, and you call me dad. We'll each take care of our own things." Bai Chuanxia was a seasoned veteran, so this was no problem for him.
Inagawa Hanahi neither refused nor agreed, and just stood there.
Shirakawa Natsu wanted to sit down, but there was no sofa in the living room. In the middle was a small low table, and next to it was a quilt and an armchair. Judging from the arrangement,
She probably often sits comfortably on the bed while playing games.
But he can't just run up and sit on the quilt right now.
"Don't you have anything else to do?" Shirakawa Natsu felt so awkward that the apartment was filled with embarrassment. He was like an innocent virgin who had broken into the private room of a sophisticated urban woman, and he didn't feel comfortable sitting anywhere.
"Now that Yuzuriha-nee has taken over the affairs of the association, I have nothing else to do." Inagawa Hanahi crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the wall.
Men and women of similar age often feel awkward when facing each other.
The stated purpose is to better understand each other, but in reality, it's so awkward that you'd want to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
“By the way, since you’re free anyway, I’ll help you organize these things. It’s really weird to just leave them piled up like this.” Shirakawa Natsu pointed to eight cardboard boxes against the wall.
"Hmm." Inagawa Hanahi remained expressionless.
The cardboard box was heavy; I tore off the plastic film on top.
What came into view were stacks of neatly arranged books, but they weren't psychology books befitting her status as a mafia boss; instead, they were comics.
"These were all bought when I was a child, and I brought them here instead of throwing them away." Inagawa Hanahi opened another plastic bag, which also contained some old items.
Shirakawa Natsu picked up the comic book and flipped through it. The art style was old; it must have been at least ten years ago.
That is, the manga when Inagawa Hanahi was still Aunt Maki's daughter.
"So you like reading comics aimed at men?"
They're all action-packed battle anime.
"Hmm." Inagawa Hanahi didn't even look up: "When I was little, I longed for these fantastical worlds and thought that when I grew up, I would go and see them."
"In the end, I forgot about it."
Chapter 412 Going Further
Shirakawa Natsu really wants to get to know Inagawa Hanahi.
