But there was nothing she could do.

My older sister found happiness, but it turned out she married someone else.

Although the conglomerate the other party belonged to was not as large as the Suzuki Conglomerate at its peak, it was only one level below it, not enough for the conglomerate's heir to bring the family business into the family.

So now the future of the Suzuki Group has suddenly fallen on her shoulders.

Not only did she have to study economics courses that she had no interest in at all during her second year of high school, but she also had to attend banquets arranged by her parents, where she was asked to find potential husbands who might marry into the Suzuki family in the future.

Although Sonoko Suzuki is indeed a big fan of good-looking men, she is still quite disgusted by this kind of thing as choosing a husband.

But now she only has two paths.

Either study hard and become a qualified heir to inherit the Suzuki family in the future, then marry someone you like, and at least one or two of your children should inherit the Suzuki family name.

Alternatively, she could continue as before, waiting for a capable husband to come into the family and change his surname to manage the Suzuki family.

Unfortunately, Sonoko Suzuki, who still wanted to struggle for free love, had to deal with these things on her own and could no longer do as she pleased as before.

Xiaolan comforted her best friend.

Conan, standing to the side, offered a bad suggestion: "Sonoko-neechan, if you don't want to deal with those people, just stand behind Brother Jiang Hang. If anyone wants to chat with you, you'll have to get past Jiang Hang first."

Sonoko Suzuki thought about it and decided that it was a good idea.

Anyway, although she and Jiang Hang weren't particularly close friends, they were practically buddies. Since Jiang Hang had tricked her today, she could use his help as a shield tomorrow.

Thinking this, Sonoko Suzuki apologized to Ran again: "You guys go to the ski resort tomorrow morning. I should be back before noon after attending the opening ceremony."

After finalizing their plans for tomorrow, the group chatted for a while before returning to their respective rooms to rest.

Soon, the night was over.

The person whose emotions were most turbulent that night was undoubtedly Takumi Fue.

He was caught by the police before dawn, and he held a grudge against Jiang Hang.

However, after midnight, he secretly gathered his men, made connections with the police, and bribed the cemetery keeper. He thought he had his family's secret treasure firmly in his grasp.

As a result, they dug and dug under the cover of night, even personally leading the team to dig into his own grandfather's grave, but in the end they still found nothing.

As dawn broke, all that remained for this group of people was the exhaustion of a hard night's work and a body covered in mud.

The original site of Rizhao Palace is indeed here, but where did the treasure go?

Just as this large group of people were feeling lost and preparing to tidy up the cemetery a bit before dawn, Fu Chengsheng, as Jiang Hang had requested, made a phone call to Fu Jiangtuo San at around 6 a.m.

“After I got back last night, I thought about it again. During the war, the Hisoku Shrine in Hokkaido had already been rebuilt. Perhaps Mr. Fue had put the treasure in the rebuilt shrine and used this cemetery as a smokescreen. If you don’t find the treasure in the cemetery, Mr. Fue, perhaps you can go to the shrine to look for it.”

Chapter 573: After digging up the grave, it's time to dig up the mountain.

Fucheng, or rather the entire Fucheng family, was never of one mind with the current Fujiang family, even though both aimed to find the treasure.

One of them wanted to use these treasures to make a comeback, while the Fukushiro family, though a bit dim-witted, genuinely hoped that those dangerous things would never reappear in front of the world.

Therefore, after confirming the truth about the treasure, Fu Chengsheng decisively followed Jiang Hang's advice and prepared to let Fu Jiangtuo San experience the ups and downs of hope and its disappointment.

After receiving a reminder from Fukujo Sei, Fukie Takuzo gritted his teeth and looked at his men who had been digging all night, thinking that none of these guys had any brains.

When they discovered something was wrong after digging up several graves in the middle of the night, they should have changed their approach and considered whether they were looking in the wrong direction.

In the end, these guys really had no brains at all. They just obediently did whatever he was told to do, unlike Fu Chengsheng, who helped beat up Jiang Hang yesterday and vented his anger a little. Now, he even came over early this morning to remind him that he might have come to the wrong place.

Unfortunately, Fukushiro Ryoei is a stubborn old man. He and his father have trusted each other for decades, but when he wanted the father's son to come to his side and continue the connection between their fathers, the father's side said they had no such idea and resolutely refused to let Fukushiro Sei get too close to them, as if they thought their place was some kind of bad place.

However, that old guy doesn't have much longer to live.

It's estimated that he's only clinging to life because of his obsession with finding the treasure.

Once they find the real treasure and fulfill the other party's last wish, it should be within the next year or two.

Once the old man leaves, he can still find a way to bring Fu Chengsheng under his command.

With such a skilled swordsman protecting him, he felt his safety was more assured.

After thanking Fukushiro Sei over the phone, Takuzo Akawa seemed to remember something and asked Fukushiro Sei how he had dealt with Jiang Hang the previous evening.

Fukushiro paused for a moment on the other end of the phone before answering.

"I challenged him to a duel under the pretext of wanting to see if he was qualified to search for treasure."

"He is indeed very strong, but I brought weapons."

Fu Chengsheng didn't continue speaking, after all, the process of Jiang Hang fighting him was quite simple.

Despite the fact that the other party has revealed a hidden blade in front of you, they have actually never used it much.

It simply uses the hidden blade as the point of release of momentum.

Even if the other party were to fight him empty-handed and without using any killing intent to intimidate him, he felt that he probably wouldn't be able to defeat the other party even once.

The two are now on completely different levels.

The gap in skill levels is so vast that you could probably fit a whole bunch of yourself into that gap.

Although Fukujo Sei only said half of what he meant, and his tone seemed a little off, Takuzo Onoe, who wasn't very bright, automatically filled in the gaps in Fukujo Sei's thoughts.

He sighed slightly, indicating that Fu Chengsheng was still too soft-hearted.

Jiang Hang must have been dissatisfied because he didn't suffer a big loss last night, which is why he called the police.

If only Fukushiro had sent the other guy to the hospital last night.

As Takuzo Akie thought this, he shamelessly asked Sei Fukushiro on the phone to help deal with Jiang Hang again, this time by being even tougher, and preferably by making that guy lose the will to resist and leave Hakodate as soon as possible.

He also said that he would now find someone to investigate Jiang Hang's whereabouts today, and then Fu Chengsheng could just go and deal with him.

Fukujo Sei wanted to say something more, but before he could, Akie Takuzo had already hung up the phone.

He has two things on his mind right now.

One is the treasure near the Rizhao Palace.

One is to find Jiang Hang's whereabouts and teach him a painful lesson.

Of course, Takumi Fue had already figured out how to find Jiang Hang's whereabouts.

Doesn't that Suzuki family's daughter know Jiang Hang? Since he seems to dislike the treasure being buried in the cemetery and doesn't intend to keep it, why not let him invite them to dinner to thank them for helping him find the family's long-lost treasure, and incidentally get information about Jiang Hang's whereabouts from Suzuki Maruko?

As Takuzo Akatsumi thought this, he even felt that his plan was indeed flawless. Even if Sonoko Suzuki knew about the sordid affair between him and Jiang Hang, she would only think that he wanted to repair his relationship with Jiang Hang, and would not think that he wanted to take revenge on Jiang Hang.

Of course, to avoid upsetting the Suzuki family's daughter by calling too early, he deliberately waited until their group had arrived at the shrine from the cemetery and started searching for the possible entrance to the treasure before calling Suzuki Sonoko.

"You want Jiang Hang to treat us to lunch?"

Sonoko Suzuki, on the other end of the phone, was already up.

After all, the opening ceremony was at nine o'clock in the morning. As the representative of the Suzuki family, since she had decided to go, she naturally had to get up early to prepare.

After receiving Takuzo Fukie's call, Sonoko Suzuki didn't think much of it, but she also declined the lunch invitation on behalf of Jiang Hang without hesitation.

"We have something to do this morning and won't be back until the afternoon, so we won't need to have this meal."

Originally, Takuzo Fue was patiently trying to suggest that if noon wasn't possible, they could reschedule for the afternoon, but Sonoko Suzuki gave a perfunctory reply.

"Alright, I'll tell Jiang Hang when I see him. If he wants to have a meal with you, I'll give him your contact information."

After saying that, Sonoko Suzuki hung up the phone, leaving Takuzo Onoe standing at the entrance of the shrine to stomp his foot in frustration.

"This woman doesn't take me seriously at all, how despicable," Takumi Fueji muttered to himself, while his mind continued to fantasize about what he would be like after obtaining the treasure left by his grandfather and becoming the man who could rewrite the world order.

At that moment, one of his subordinates rushed over to report that a cave leading underground had been discovered somewhere in the shrine.

This immediately brought a smile to the face of Takumi Fue.

It seems Fu Chengsheng was right; the true location of the treasure is indeed here.

He quickly summoned his other men. Although he wanted to be the first to find the treasure passed down in his family, he was still worried about whether there might be any danger in the cave.

Let's send someone down to check first, make sure it's safe inside, and then he can follow the first group.

After several people entered the cave one by one and confirmed that there were no traps inside, Takuzo Onoe also hurriedly entered the cave through the tunnel, carrying the flashlight he used to dig graves at night, and carefully moved forward inside the cave.

After walking quickly underground for a few minutes, the passage widened considerably. When he saw his men standing in front of a shrine, he stopped, and Tokie Takuzo felt a chill run down his spine.

There seems to be no road ahead, but where is the treasure? Why haven't we seen a single trace of our own treasure?

It was only after his subordinates reminded him that he finally spotted a simple, old-fashioned wooden box.

And this is seemingly the only thing that can be taken from this cave.

Takuzo Akie walked forward nervously, wondering what enormous secret was hidden here that warranted such careful concealment by his grandfather.

Then he carefully picked up the wooden box.

The wooden box wasn't heavy; Takuzo Fujie felt as if he could only feel the weight of the box itself.

After a careful examination, it seems there really isn't anything inside.

Takuzo Akie's heart began to pound, and he even looked around suspiciously.

He even suspected that the first underling to arrive might have taken the contents of the wooden box before everyone else could get there.

He took a closer look and confirmed that the other person didn't seem like they could hide anything, so he temporarily suppressed his suspicions and cautiously opened the wooden box under the light.

Inside the wooden box, you can see that there should have originally been a samurai sword.

But now it's completely empty, and the samurai sword I should have put in this wooden box is long gone.

"Where is my treasure!" Takuzo Akie was furious.

I finally found the treasure, but the wooden box is empty!

Who took his treasure before he could?

Could it be that kid Fu Chengsheng?

No, it shouldn't be him.

If he had really taken the treasure, there would have been no need for him to specifically tell me about it this morning.

Could it be that old guy, Fukushiro Ryogo?

After hearing his son's guess, he secretly ran here overnight and took the samurai sword from inside.

After confirming that none of his men who had entered the cave with him were likely to be dishonest, Takuzo Onoe began to suspect Yoshie Fukujo.
