Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 481 Ooka Momiji Wants to Learn!

"Looking for me?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro placed the gift on the table and looked at Ooka Momiji and Iori Muga with interest, knowing that the two were lying.

Because it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Ooka Momiji is definitely after Hattori Heiji, not him at all.

They're just using him as a cover.

Although Ooka Momiji used himself as a cover, which annoyed him a little, he had given so much.

The gift that Ooka Momiji gave was definitely not an ordinary gift; it must have been worth at least several hundred thousand yen, or even a million yen, to demonstrate the status and position of the Ooka family.

After all, the Suzuki zaibatsu gave out Black Pearls at its 60th anniversary celebration, while Kitahara Natsuhiro received a sports car from the Tokiwa zaibatsu.

Therefore, Ooka Momiji's gift this time must be quite valuable.

“Yes.” Ooka Momiji turned around, revealing a gentle smile: “Mr. Kitahara is a responsible man, so I would like to get to know him.”

"Taking responsibility?" Kitahara Natsuyu laughed. "Is it because I saved Tokiwa Mio and exposed Kisaragi Mine's conspiracy, or something else?"

These other matters naturally pertain to the women in his life.

If having many women around you and ensuring they get along harmoniously is considered responsible, then...

Moreover, given the power of the Ooka Zaibatsu, it's estimated that after returning yesterday, they thoroughly investigated his background, including information about the many women around him.

These things are transparent to these rich people.

But conducting a covert investigation is one thing, speaking out about it is another.

Upon hearing this, Ooka Momiji smiled slightly and said nothing more, but her smile spoke volumes; these words were no longer needed.

"No wonder there were so many women around Suzuki Sonoko at the banquet, they were all this guy's women," Ooka Momiji thought to herself. "But how can this guy be so powerful, making all these women revolve around him? What kind of magic does he have?!"

Although the Ooka Zaibatsu is very powerful and can investigate a lot of things, there are some internal intelligences that are impossible to obtain, such as Kitahara Natsuhiro's physical condition and his feelings towards other women.

This kind of thing can't be found through investigation, unless Kitahara Natsuhiro goes to the hospital for a medical check-up or something.

But he's a half-human, half-ghost being; even if the world were to end, he wouldn't get sick, so why would he need to go to the hospital?

As for other women, they would never reveal these intimate details of their lives, so the Ooka Zaibatsu could not find out about them.

It was for this reason that Ooka Momiji came to see Hattori Heiji and also paid a visit to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Because she really wanted to know what kind of magic Kitahara Natsuhiro possessed that made all these women surround him.

If she could, she would like to learn it, and maybe she could steal Heiji Hattori away!

Although the two are of different genders, they certainly have things in common. You can learn from them, but you can't learn everything about them.

If Ooka Momiji were to directly say these things to Kitahara Natsuhiro, he would tell her that she truly cannot learn them.

Because it is pure strength, pure innate talent.

Although Ooka Momiji is also strong, a man's strength is different from a woman's.

Of course, Ooka Momiji could learn about green tea, but given the Ooka family's upbringing, it's impossible for her to learn anything about green tea.

Given the strength of the Ooka Zaibatsu, they could simply sweep through without needing to play the victim.

Besides, she's a rich heiress; she wouldn't stoop to being a "green tea" type.

Of course, it's a different story if you're naturally green tea.

Ooka Momiji, on the other hand, was well protected. She wasn't a manipulative woman and didn't have any major schemes. It was just the kind of petty scheming between women over men, which was completely harmless.

"However, I still have to remind you, it's only because I have a good temper that I'm in trouble. If I uncover something I shouldn't know," Kitahara Natsumi said meaningfully, "Of course, I'm not referring to me!"

"Something that shouldn't be investigated?" Upon hearing this, Ooka Momiji hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, Kitahara-san. I will keep that in mind."

It seems that this Mr. Kitahara is truly extraordinary!

Moreover, among the people he knew, there were quite a few women with powerful backgrounds.

Reiko Kujo, the heiress of the Kujo family, is very influential in the legal world.

Eri Kisaki, the undefeated queen of the legal profession, is also quite influential in the legal world. These two women together possess a terrifying ability.

Apart from that, the other women didn't have any particularly special backgrounds or identities.

There are some pieces of intelligence that even the Ooka Zaibatsu might not be able to uncover.

For example, Kuroba Chikage's identity and background.

If they uncover this, we'll be in big trouble.

Of course, this isn't the most troublesome part. The most troublesome part is Judy's identity and background.

After all, one is a member of the FBI, and the other is a member of a criminal organization.

Although the Ooka Zaibatsu is very powerful in the political world, the other party is involved in shady dealings. Using political influence to threaten someone into shady dealings is simply courting death.

Didn't you see Abe has come out? He's just a mere prime minister. One shot and he's dead. No matter how rich or powerful you are, it's all fleeting.

Furthermore, Kitahara Natsuyu no longer cared about these powerful figures. He teleported over instantly and shot them in the head with a single shot, without even needing to announce his arrival!

“Okay, that’s good.” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded. “We’re getting ready to go out. Ms. Ooka can also get ready now.”

“Okay,” said Ooka Momiji. “But calling me Miss Ooka is too formal. Just call me Momiji.”

You can call me that too!

She turned to look around, and when she saw Hattori Heiji, she couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, which made Toyama Kazuha very unhappy.

But this is someone else's home, so no matter how unhappy you are, you have to hold it in and not be too rude!

“Okay, then I’ll call you Momiji. You can also call me Masumi, or Sera.” Sera Masumi said.

"Okay, I'll call you Masumi then. And Heiji, Kazuha." When she called out Heiji's name, Momiji Ooka gave a sweet smile.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Toyama Kazuha gritted her teeth and her gaze towards Hattori Heiji became much more hostile, as if it were a knife.

Hattori Heiji was immediately startled, sweat beading on his back and forehead: "What's going on?!"

"I have a very bad feeling right now, like I'm going to be torn apart at any moment. It's really terrifying!"

He had only one thought: to get out of there as quickly as possible and breathe some fresh air. Staying here any longer made him feel like he was suffocating. The rivalry between the two women had already drained the air out of the place; he needed to leave before he could breathe.

"Ahem, I'll go outside and wait for you guys, it's getting a bit hot."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hattori Heiji hurriedly went to the entrance, put on his shoes, and then opened the door and went out.

When Kazuha Toyama and Momiji Ooka saw his retreating figure, they couldn't help but sigh. They also wanted to go out, but they couldn't be as carefree as Heiji Hattori.

After all, they had to observe proper etiquette when visiting someone else's home, something their parents had always taught them.

As for Hattori Heiji, he's always been like this, reckless and impulsive.

Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled when he saw this, then tidied up the house and went out with Toyama Kazuha and Ooka Momiji.

At that moment, Heiji Hattori was chatting in the hallway with a stunningly beautiful woman with blonde hair, who was none other than his neighbor, Jodie Starling.

In addition, after Kitahara Natsuyu and the others came out, a door not far away also opened.

And this person was none other than Akiba Reiko.

Some time ago, something happened around Akiba Reiko, and the Metropolitan Police Department was mobilized, but they failed to catch Fu and Takumi.

Because the old man didn't make a move, the Metropolitan Police Department had no right to arrest him.

In addition, the Metropolitan Police Department also has other duties, so Miwako is unable to protect Akiba Reiko closely all the time.

Fortunately, Kitahara Natsuhiro was still there, so Akiba Reiko was no longer being followed by Fu and Takumi.

I wonder if this old guy discovered something.

Furthermore, Akiba Reiko went on a business trip a few days ago and only returned yesterday!
But she also had a lot of things to do, so she didn't rest much and went out today to take care of some things.

"Miss Judy, Mr. Kitahara, hello." Akiba Reiko greeted them with a smile.

"You are..." Ooka Momiji looked at her, her eyes lighting up as she walked over: "Soprano Reiko Akiba?"

"Yes, it's me." Akiba Reiko smiled slightly, then felt that this girl looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before: "Excuse me, are you Ms. Ooka?"

"Yes, I am Ooka Momiji!"

"It really has been a long time," Akiba Reiko said with a smile.

"Yes!"

The two women had met before at a concert and had spoken briefly, but they both remembered each other somewhat.

After all, one is Japan's most outstanding soprano, and the other is the heiress of the Ooka Zaibatsu; it's hard not to leave a deep impression on them.

"Soprano Reiko Akiba?" Kazuha Toyama exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, hello,” said Akiba Reiko.

"I really like you, and I've even been to your concert!" Kazuha Toyama appeared in a flash and was right next to Reiko Akiba.

When Akiba Reiko saw Toyama Kazuha, her smile was very gentle, and she was very happy.

"A soprano, huh? Quite pretty," Hattori Heiji thought to himself.

Actually, he was the one who went to the concert with Kazuha last time, but he really wasn't interested in concerts, so he fell asleep before the concert even started and slept until the end. He wasn't affected by the concert at all; in fact, the concert became a lullaby for him.

People with insomnia are extremely envious; they also want to have such good sleep quality.

“Xia Yu, this little brother from Osaka is quite interesting,” Judy said, winking at Kitahara Xia Yu.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and looked at Hattori Heiji: "What did this kid say to you? You can tell me, and I'll tell his mother!"

"Oh dear, I didn't say anything!" Hattori Heiji quickly said.

The world is vast, but Mom is the most important.

Shizuka Hattori is a woman Heiji Hattori absolutely cannot afford to offend; he would rather offend his father than his mother.

If you anger Hattori Heizo, Hattori Shizuka will say nice things, but if you anger Hattori Shizuka, Hattori Heizo will only hand you a stick and hit you harder!
"Really?" Judy covered her mouth and laughed. "They didn't say anything, but they were just subtly inquiring about our relationship."

"This little detective is just like Edogawa, both of them have such a strong sense of curiosity!"

She knew that Hattori Heiji was not only probing her relationship with Kitahara Natsuyu, but also trying to find out if she had any other identity.

It wasn't that Hattori Heiji doubted Jodie's identity; it was just his detective nature. That's just how they are—they want to get to the bottom of everything.

"I see." Kitahara Natsuyu put his arm around Hattori Heiji's shoulder, a sinister smile on his face. "Do you need me to tell you about my relationship with this teacher, Jodie? Want to hear it?"

"I don't want to, I don't want to at all, please don't tell me!" Hattori Heiji covered his ears, not wanting to hear it at all.

“Very good, I like your attitude. I’ll let you off this time. Don’t be so eager for novelty in the future, or you’ll easily get into trouble, like that guy who’s been missing for a long time!” Kitahara Natsumi said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji nodded vigorously, but said nothing and didn't seem to care.

He knew who Kitahara Natsuhiro was referring to; it was none other than Kudo Shinichi.

Many people suspect that Shinichi Kudo has encountered some serious trouble, offended someone he shouldn't have, and thus disappeared.

But while they say he went missing, he was actually thrown into Tokyo Bay.

So Kitahara Natsuhiro thought the same thing, and Hattori Heiji wasn't surprised at all, so naturally he didn't say anything.

Otherwise, wouldn't that give Kudo away, and then things would get complicated?

However, Heiji Hattori also felt that Natsuhiro Kitahara might know something, but just wouldn't say it.

But he didn't dare ask about such things, and if anyone was to ask, it wouldn't be him, but Kudo.

So be it. After all, he's barely able to take care of himself right now, how can he have the time to worry about Kudo's affairs?
Moreover, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Kudo's mother have that kind of relationship, so Kudo Shinichi will be fine.

On the contrary, it's him who might get into trouble!
"Mmm, I won't ask, and you don't have to tell either!" Hattori Heiji broke free and dashed over to the elevator: "Hurry up, the elevator's almost here."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and looked at the others: "The elevator is coming, let's go!"

"it is good!"

The group responded and headed towards the elevator.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro, Akiba Reiko, and Jodie fell to the very back.
