"It's just so-so, nothing special, what's wrong with that?"
Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka inquiring about the information so meticulously, Himeko's curiosity was piqued as well.
Her intuition told her that the reason the other party backed down was very likely related to the black doll!
"That's right, this child recently moved into my apartment building,"
"Since we're living under the same roof, I naturally have to pay attention to her studies. Her grades can't stay so mediocre."
"I was thinking of asking you to give her some more challenging assignments to broaden and stimulate her thinking."
“This child is actually quite clever, but she hasn’t fully utilized it. I think it’s necessary to give her a helping hand.”
""
Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's explanation, Himeko's lips twitched involuntarily.
This is definitely a deliberate act of revenge!
There's no mistake, it was Hei Dai who ruined her plans to cheat!
It seems I need to have a serious talk with Blackie.
"Since you've put it that way, it's not impossible for me to help you."
"I understand. I'll treat you to an izakaya after get off work."
"Take the road."
Himeko nodded in satisfaction. Getting the man drunk would make it much easier to extract information later.
Unaware of the approaching danger, Hei Dai had already slipped into Jiang Qiu's classroom.
Under Artoria's bewildered gaze, the guy lowered his voice and warned—
"You'd better tone it down at lunchtime. If the other guys notice something's wrong, we might lose our jobs."
"You should know what happens when we're caught eating alone in our family, right?"
“I was prepared for this. I’ve already told Sister Jing that I’ll have lunch in her office from now on.”
Hei Dai's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this; this was indeed a good idea.
"I am coming too!"
"Suit yourself, but let's make it clear first, we'll each eat our own food, don't even think about taking mine."
"Ha, I don't even want your stuff. Don't come trying to freeload off me."
Hei Dai rolled her eyes at her, clearly annoyed.
She had a bento box prepared by Sister Shihua herself, which was far superior to any cricket takeout.
However, she didn't reveal any information; after muttering a few words, she left the classroom.
Meanwhile, Mordred, watching the other person's departing figure, couldn't help but nudge Jiang Qiu beside her—
"Hey, did Hei Dai really apply for a job at your house?"
“Ang moved in and started working right after school yesterday. He’s quite professional.”
"I want to go see it too!"
"Come on over, is it okay for you to come back home?"
"It's okay, as long as you finish your homework on time and don't cause trouble, that's fine. I don't care about anything else."
Mordred chuckled, his face full of anticipation.
She had long been curious about Jiang Qiu's family situation, and this time she was determined to see for herself.
Let's also see if Blackie and the others are really working hard, or if they have some kind of secret.
Recalling how Saber and Alter used to laze around at home, Mordred's eyes sharpened.
If I manage to gather evidence, then I might really start eyeing the position of heir!
Jiang Qiu was unaware of this guy's little scheme. After lazily yawning, she slumped onto the table.
Before he could even close his eyes to rest, he noticed that Mikasa was staring at him from the other side.
The eerie gaze made Jiang Qiu's skin crawl, and a strong sense of unease instantly welled up in her heart.
Has Mikasa discovered something?
Jiang Qiu's eyes flickered slightly. Last night, Toka's voice was indeed a bit loud, and there was still a chance that it would wake up Mikasa.
In that case, I'm afraid we'll have to implement the "Sheep Mouth Plan"!
Chapter 129, Section 130: The Undercover Agent Blackie is Still Exerting His Power
For the first time in the morning, Fu Hua was absent-minded during the first class.
Even though she tried her best to concentrate on the lesson, her gaze still involuntarily drifted to the side.
The content that Mikasa was secretly searching for on her phone was so eye-catching that she couldn't concentrate at all.
Does the shifting location of the battlefield provide greater excitement?
How long does a normal fight usually last?
Will extensive combat experience lead to overwork among combat personnel, affecting their future lives?
Are there any useful combat techniques that can ensure you always have the upper hand in a fight?
Mikasa! What the hell are you searching for?!
Fu Hua's eyelids twitched uncontrollably; she had a feeling that this guy was already on the verge of getting out of control.
Mikasa noticed her subtle glance, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked—
Are you interested too?
"no!"
Fu Hua denied it without the slightest hesitation, forcing herself to turn her head away and not look in their direction.
But after only a few seconds, she couldn't help but tentatively ask—
"The files on countermeasures against the declining birthrate have only just been activated, and you're already planning to make a move against Jiang Qiu?"
"It's just to get some information beforehand; what I find online seems to be different from what I actually know."
"In reality?"
Fu Hua was taken aback upon hearing this, then seemed to realize something and looked at Jiang Qiu with some surprise.
"who is it?"
"Sister Shihua".
"It's the store manager? I thought it would be you or Hongxia or the others first."
"I was wondering why the store suddenly started selling fake products a while ago; that must have been around that time."
Fu Hua muttered to herself, finally having her doubts resolved.
But thinking of the store manager's usual stern and aloof demeanor, she still found it hard to believe that the other party was actually getting all lovey-dovey with Jiang Qiuxian.
and many more!
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Fu Hua stared intently at the information on Mikasa's phone.
A certain insane possibility gradually surfaced in her mind.
"They wouldn't have done it in front of you, would they?"
"That's not true."
"Oh, so it wasn't there before?"
Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief, feeling inexplicably disappointed, and scratched his face somewhat awkwardly.
It seems I misunderstood. No matter how reckless I am, I wouldn't stoop to this level of madness.
"They were making a ruckus in the house in the middle of the night, and it was so loud that I noticed them."
"Also, Sister Shihua's neck is prone to leaving marks, which are easily visible when you get close."
"Hey, you're just causing trouble everywhere?"
"Yes, bedroom, hallway, bathroom, living room, entryway, kitchen."
Damn it, are these two trying to turn the whole house into a battlefield?!
Can't you just stay in bed and behave yourself?
Fu Hua's heart pounded wildly as she listened, and she realized that she would never be able to look the shopkeeper in the eye again.
Did the store manager actually have such a wild side?
"Ah chirp!!"
While at the Saint Chef Restaurant, Toka suddenly sneezed and glanced towards the kitchen with some confusion.
Is someone talking behind my back?
However, she didn't pay much attention to it. After regaining her senses, she continued to lazily rub the plush toys that Kroos had left in the store.
After Xiao Ke and Fu Hua went to school, she always felt that the lively atmosphere in the store had faded a lot.
I kind of miss the two of them.
As she continued to rest at the cashier, recovering her still somewhat weak waist.
Jiang Qiu, who was the instigator, looked at the photos sent by Hei Dai with some confusion.
The person appearing on camera is not any of the ahoge (cowlicks), but rather the current chairwoman of the Camelot Group – Ms. Morgan.
What does it mean that Blackie suddenly sent me this?
Jiang Qiu blinked in confusion, and before she could send a message to ask, she saw that the other party had chosen to withdraw the message.
"Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person."
"???"
Jiang Qiu was stunned when she heard this, and instinctively felt that something was not right.
However, he still replied—
"It's alright. Your group's chairman is quite good-looking. She's even more beautiful in photos than in TV interviews."
"That guy is good-looking, but he's actually ruthless. He's been cutting our allowance so much that we're almost starving."
Hei Dai complained irritably, his resentment almost overflowing through the screen.
But as soon as she finished complaining, she turned around and sent a message to Morgan—
"I sent your photo to Jiang Qiu, and he thinks you're very pretty."
On the other side, Morgan, who was busy in a meeting and planning a new investment scheme, noticed the movement on his phone and subconsciously glanced at it.
In just a moment, under the subtle gazes of Lancelot, Gawain, Tristan, and other high-ranking officials, Morgan's lips curled up uncontrollably, as if he had been hooked.
That smile is almost as bright as when he first seized power.
"Chairman? Chairman!"
"Cough, what's wrong?"
"You just mentioned wanting to launch a joint investment in Moon City."
"Oh right, based on the various proposals submitted these past few days, I'm planning to build a luxury hotel over there."
"The location was chosen at the intersection of the newly opened amusement park and the commercial street."
Morgan coughed lightly, moved the phone a few inches closer, and then resumed his serious demeanor.
However, the way his eyes kept glancing at his phone clearly indicated that he was having difficulty concentrating.
“The cost of such locations will be quite high, and the risks will also increase accordingly.”
“Recently, we have received news that other companies and groups are also planning to open hotels there, which shows that they all have confidence in the area.”
"If we can get to the front and establish a brand and reputation in time, the subsequent revenue should meet the planned target."
"Joint ventures should also carefully consider sharing the costs and risks as much as possible."
