It's obvious that the one who took the ring was Shinya Oga's older sister, whose purpose was to prevent Akane Katori from marrying into the Oga family.
They probably still want their eldest son to marry a rich girl.
The old lady arrived quickly upon hearing the news: "What did you say? The ancestral ring is missing?"
"How could this be? This is a ring passed down from our ancestors."
"How could you lose this ring?"
"You're too careless."
The members of the Oga family looked at Katori Akane with reproach. Katori Akane clenched her fists, lowered her head, trembled all over, and her eyes were red, but she didn't say a word.
The old lady closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them and said, "Stop immediately!"
"what?"
"This wedding must be stopped immediately. Don't talk about marriage until that ring is found."
Upon hearing this, Shinji Ohga said emotionally, "Grandma, how could you say that?"
The old lady had a sullen face and kept her head down without saying a word, but her meaning was clear. Her daughter-in-law, Dahe Yadai, quickly tried to persuade her, "Mom, please don't be angry."
“Think about it yourself, Ya Dai. Ever since this child said he wanted to get married, one ominous thing after another has happened. It’s all because of that woman. Now she’s even lost our family heirloom.”
The old lady had a cold face.
Shinya Ohga said, "This matter cannot be blamed on Akane."
Oga snorted but didn't say anything, while Katori Akane trembled even more violently, tears streaming down her face.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense.
Just then, Hideo Ikeda and Mika Ohga pushed open the door and walked in: "Everyone, the wedding is about to begin, but Lord Akashi hasn't arrived yet. Should we call and ask...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the silence of the crowd and sensed that something was wrong, so he asked, "Has something happened?"
Dahe Chen then said, "That wedding ring just went missing."
"What! You mean the family heirloom ring is lost...?"
Both Hideo Ikeda and the other man were taken aback, not expecting this to happen.
Hideo Ikeda snorted coldly: "Lord Akatsuchi is about to arrive, and this kind of trouble has occurred. The Oga family is going to lose all face."
Shinya Ohga's gaze fell on Mika Ohga, and he said in a suspicious tone, "The ring was clearly still in that place before you went into the lounge, sister."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Mika Oga.
Mika Oga was both shocked and furious. She glared at her younger brother and said, "Shinya, how can you say such a thing? Are you implying that we stole the ring?"
Shinya Ohga: "When I came to see Akane just now, the ring was clearly still on the dressing table. So it must have been taken by the person who went in later."
"By the way, wasn't that glassmaker named Takahashi one of the later hires?"
Upon hearing this, Hideo Ikeda immediately thought of Junichi Takahashi.
Why would he steal the ring for no reason?
As Ōga Shinya spoke, he glanced at his family. 2.8
Although he didn't say it outright, his meaning was clear: this matter had nothing to do with Junichi Takahashi; the suspects were people like you.
It's no wonder he's so suspicious of his family; they all disagree with the marriage and have repeatedly tried to stop him from getting married.
"Humph!"
Daiga Mika snorted coldly: "Makoto, don't suspect people randomly. Maybe it was Akane herself, or maybe you secretly hid the ring to frame our Daiga family for this."
"How can it be."
Hearing such outrageous words, Akane Katori finally spoke, shaking her head and crying, "I didn't."
Chapter 507 I'm Taking the Bride Away
"All right."
The old lady tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention. Then she said, "I think we should do this: even we suspect Shinji, and it makes me uncomfortable. Since that's the case, we might as well search all our rooms right now."
At this point, she said coldly, "However, the wedding will not take place until that ring is found, do you hear me?"
"That's enough for now, Lady Amyo." Akatsuki stood up and embraced Katori Akane in front of everyone.
“I know the whole story. Since the Dahe family is unwilling to marry her, let’s drop this matter.”
"What right do you have to interfere in the affairs of the Dahe family?" Dahe Meihua asked unhappily.
Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly.
“I was commissioned by you to help you; you paid me to take care of this.”
"What? What do you mean?"
All 29 members of the Dahe family looked at Chi Chufeng in surprise.
Chi Chufeng smiled slightly and said calmly, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Chi Chufeng, an Onmyoji from Tokyo."
"Chi, Lord Chichu!"
"You are the strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo!"
"Why didn't you say so sooner? Oh dear, we are so sorry, we were rude."
Dahe Miao hurriedly pulled everyone to bow.
"No need to be polite. Although I accepted your commission, your family situation is indeed quite chaotic."
Chi Chufeng smacked his lips.
"Madam Miao, you were the one who had Miss Meihua steal that ring, just to stop this wedding, right?"
In front of the Onmyoji, how could Ōga Myō dare to deny it?
"Since you don't want her to marry into the Oga family, then I'll take care of it for you. I'm taking Katori Akane with me."
“Alright, alright, Lord Akatsuki.” Oga Myo naturally had no objections.
"That won't do! I don't agree!" Shinya Ohga said angrily. "Akane Katori is going to marry me, and my family can't make decisions for me."
Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly. "Daiga Shinya, is it right for you to use helping her pay off her debts in exchange for her marrying you?"
“But my feelings for Akane Katori are genuine,” Shinya Ohga said, his face flushed.
Before Akazuka could speak, Katori Akane, who was hiding in his arms, spoke up.
"I'm sorry, Masaya, I... I don't like you."
Shinya Ohga was stunned.
He moved his lips, but couldn't say anything.
Chi Chufeng said calmly, "Let's leave this matter here. I will handle Katori Akane's matter."
"And then there's the matter of Madam Miao nearly dying twice recently."
"First, the brakes failed on a rainy night, and the second time was on a sunny morning when I was taking a walk on Holland Slope nearby when a rock suddenly fell from above. Fortunately, I was rescued in time."
"Madam Miao entrusted me with this matter, didn't she?"
“Yes, Lord Akatsuchi,” Ōga Myō quickly said, “Although there is no evidence, I have always felt that someone is targeting me.”
"The Dahe family is now entirely dependent on me to survive. If I were to die, the entire family would likely face serious problems. That's why I asked you to help us."
Chi Chufeng nodded and said, "Those two times were indeed not accidental, but deliberate. You were the one who did it, weren't you, Takahashi Junichi?"
"Takahashi?"
After hearing his words, everyone's eyes turned to the glassmaker.
Junichi Takahashi's face turned ashen, and he lowered his head, remaining silent.
Chi Chufeng laughed and said, "It seems you also brought a bomb, planning to tie it to the hot air balloon and blow up Dahe Miao when she takes off. Am I right?"
"What? A bomb?!"
Everyone was stunned.
“That’s right!” Junichi Takahashi angrily pulled out his dagger.
"Young Miss, you should recognize me now. Your father was driven to suicide by this old woman! That's why she would never allow you to marry into the Dahe family!!"
"Ten years ago, the boss died because of this heartless old woman! Back then, Dahe Bank suddenly demanded that the boss pay back all the money he had borrowed. The boss had no choice but to commit suicide. I will never forget the miserable state he looked in back then!"
“At that time, our boss hadn’t received any big orders from 363 for a while, so I went to Otaru to ask a wholesaler who had been doing business with the boss. Later, he told me that it was Taiga Bank that asked them to reduce their orders to us!”
"not like this!"
Ohga Shinya's father suddenly interrupted him with a shout.
“My mother has always admired Mr. Katori’s glassware and hoped that he would continue to run the business. That’s why she gave him some advice on the operation of the workshop. But Mr. Katori, being the kind of creative person he is, simply wouldn’t listen. He even told my mother that he only sells his glass to people who understand his true value.”
Ōga Shinya's father sighed softly, shook his head, and said in a deep voice:
"Later, Mr. Katori continued to make glass products that required a lot of effort. With such persistence, the products he made were of great artistic value, but he could not make ends meet and the workshop's finances were frequently in deficit."
"In the end, the repayment time kept getting delayed, from three days to a week to two weeks. We're just a small bank; we can't keep doing this forever."
