Chapter 76 Ayako's Promise
After apologizing, Xiaolan sat down and looked at the garden, complaining.
"Sonoko, don't be so alarmed. His dream is to become a detective like Sherlock Holmes, so it's normal for him to investigate cases."
But Sonoko didn't give up and continued to press for answers.
Has he contacted you during this time?
"..." Xiaolan fell silent.
"See? Even if he's investigating a case, do you think he can work 24/7 like a robot without rest?"
"Oh, alright, alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Xingbo, it's been a long time." Xiaolan had no choice but to quickly change the subject after seeing Su Xingbo sit down.
To her surprise, Sonoko turned around and discussed Shinichi Kudo's actions with Su Xingbai, which made Ran gently touch her head, feeling a bit of a headache.
Su Xingbai waved his hand dismissively and laughed, "I guess he was so busy that he forgot for a moment."
Sonoko was not happy to hear this. "You are my boyfriend. How can you not stand with me and instead take the side of others?"
Fortunately, the teacher had already arrived.
This minor incident has finally come to a peaceful end.
He hasn't had much to do lately. He sold two of his villas and is now building a new, extra-large villa not far from Ayako's villa on the mountaintop.
He had it all planned out: beyond the suspension bridge was Ayako's villa, and two hundred meters ahead was his villa, while simultaneously preventing people on the other side of the mountain from crossing the suspension bridge down the mountain.
There's only one road now. You go up from here, cross the suspension bridge, and once you reach his villa, there's no road ahead.
Meanwhile, because the suspension bridge had been destroyed once, he had it reinforced with better materials and rebuilt, but not in this location, but a little further away.
This would give Su Xingbo a little sense of security. He wondered how the construction was going and whether the people would cut corners without him watching over it.
No, I need to check on the progress tonight.
Because of the construction of the villa, Ayako and Sonoko had to sleep in other rest areas of the Suzuki family home.
After class, Sonoko slumped onto her desk, too exhausted to ask Ran any more questions.
And so, after school, Su Xingbo hurriedly headed to the construction site where the villa was being built.
Upon arriving at his destination, he discovered that the project was progressing more slowly than he had anticipated.
When the worker in charge of supervising the construction saw him arrive, he hurriedly explained that there had been some delays in the transportation of the new building materials.
Su Xingbai carefully inspected the completed sections and found no signs of shoddy workmanship, which relieved him.
Just then, he heard a slight noise coming from the nearby woods. He became alert and quietly approached to investigate. It turned out to be a small tabby cat trapped in an animal trap.
Su Xingbo carefully untied the animal trap and rescued the little tabby cat, who licked his hand in gratitude. Just as he was playing with the little tabby, his phone rang; it was Yuanzi calling.
Sonoko asked him playfully on the phone when he was coming back, adding that her older sister Ayako wanted to discuss something with him.
Su Xingbo carried the little tabby cat back, thinking how beautiful it would be if the garden were full of cherry blossom trees.
As he crossed the reinforced suspension bridge and returned to Ayako's villa, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed him, and his heart was filled with anticipation for a bright future.
He planned to give the little tabby cat to Mingmei to raise, so that she could pass the time.
Upon arriving at the villa, he casually found a cardboard box and put some snacks and milk inside.
I put the kitten in a cardboard box, then put its food and water in it, and then went down the mountain.
His constant presence wouldn't do much good; it would only make the workers feel uneasy and uncomfortable, which would backfire and be counterproductive.
I put the kitten in the passenger seat and drove towards Ayako Sonoko's luxury villa.
When he arrived, he found that this place was not just luxurious, but compared to the villa on the mountain, the one on the mountain was far too simple.
As soon as they arrived at the door, a sharp-eyed maid spotted them and quickly ran over to press the switch and open the door.
These women knew in advance that someone would be coming to the villa, and they even had photos to identify them, which is why they came to open the door.
The maid bowed and said, "Welcome, guest. Miss Ayako and Miss Sonoko are already waiting for you in the lobby."
The view from where he bent over was quite beautiful, but he wasn't the kind of person who would be so desperate as to be driven mad by lust at the sight of any woman. He pounced on her directly.
He simply remarked that this was the daily life of a tycoon's family; this wasn't even their main residence, just one of their inconspicuous villas.
It's even an existence that's dispensable.
The maid called out into the walkie-talkie: "Mr. Kudo has arrived. Please inform Miss."
A response came quickly from the walkie-talkie: "Received."
He then followed the maid for a kilometer, a truly simple and unpretentious journey.
It took a kilometer to reach the villa's gate. Judging from the maid's calm and composed demeanor, she probably brings guests here often.
As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but complain.
"Ayako, why don't you provide them with a car? Aren't you tired from walking such a long distance?"
After waving for the maids to leave, Ayako helped him to the sofa, walked behind him, massaged his shoulders, and explained in a low voice.
"It's true that our Suzuki conglomerate is rich and powerful. This distance may seem far, but if someone really needs our services and requires us to come to their door, they won't mind such a short distance."
It was also a small warning to those people, letting them know they'd better think twice before asking for anything in return. I don't know the specifics further; my mother didn't tell me anything that detailed. I'm just guessing.
6.
Do your parents come here often?
Ayako nodded and said, "Yes, we usually discuss important matters here, otherwise we wouldn't have built such a big place."
Su Xingbo raised an eyebrow. "So what important matter do you want to discuss with me today?"
Ayako smiled mysteriously.
"Don't rush, Sonoko will come over later and we'll talk together." Just then, Sonoko burst in.
"Sorry, sorry, something came up on the way and I was delayed." Sonoko sat down on the sofa in a carefree manner.
Ayako glanced at the two of them and slowly said, "Actually, it's about a new type of tracker developed by a technology company under our family."
"A tracker? What does that have to do with me?" Su Xingbai asked, puzzled.
“This tracker is special; it can track any object or person with a special marker. However, we’re currently facing a technical problem—it keeps losing signal. We know you’re intelligent, and we’d like to ask you to help us take a look,” Sonoko said, arms crossed.
