Tokyo: After years of stagnation, the heiress of the yakuza arrives.

"Do you know how much money you wasted today with your idiotic behavior? How much manpower and resources were wasted, just to watch your brainless, fancy mouse?"

Aoko Jingu sat on a stool with her arms crossed, looking serious. In front of her was Yoshiko Jingu, who was kneeling on the ground and being judged for doing something wrong.

I'm convinced, but not completely convinced.

The reason I say "I'm convinced" is because it's an exclamation expressing extreme bad luck, not the same as the "I'm convinced" in the sense of being convinced.

I'm speechless! I miscalculated the time. Why, why did this vicious woman come back early? Who, who is secretly pleased with her?!

"Are you deaf when I talk to you?!"

Aoko narrowed her eyes. It seemed that without some extreme measures, the stubborn old woman wouldn't realize her mistake.

Silently, Aoko Jingu increased the force of her stomp on the ground.

"squeak--"

Da Mei let out a scream.

"I'm listening. Please stop criticizing Da Mei. I truly realize my mistake and promise I won't do it again!"

Jingu Miko heard Daimi screaming in agony. Stepping on Daimi's body hurt Miko's heart. Jingu Miko clutched her chest, looking as if she was in unbearable pain, and swore an oath.

The details... extend four fingers, not one more, not one less, just right!

Aoko Jingu: "..."

Hard.

Da Mei screamed in agony!

"squeak--"

"Ahhh, I was wrong, I was wrong, I swear, I swear, okay? Waaah, I, Jingu Miko, swear I'll never again waste the family's public resources like that. It's shameful..."

After Daimi screamed, Jingu Yoshiko also screamed, quickly swearing that this time her fingers would be evenly broken.

"So it seems you really like your brainless fancy mouse, huh? You're actually willing to make such a big sacrifice... Tsk tsk tsk, what do you think would happen if I killed it?"

Aoko Jingu revealed a devilish smile.

Miko Kamiya: "???"

You wicked woman, what are you going to do to my beauty!

"squeak!"

"Ahhhhh—"

"Buzzing..."

Just as the situation reached a stalemate and entered a heated phase, well... perhaps the final chapter of the story, the phone next to Aoko Jingu rang and vibrated; someone had sent a message.

Jingu Aoko frowned, paused her attack to finish off Daimi, walked over, picked up her phone, and checked the message that had been sent.

The number of people who have her phone number can be counted on one hand. Generally, the messages she sends are quite important. We can't let the serious business at the company be delayed because of teaching a lesson to some evil old woman. That would be a loss.

"Um?"

Aoko Jingu was taken aback. The message wasn't from an acquaintance, or even someone in her contacts; it was from an unknown, unfamiliar number.

The message that came wasn't text; it was two unread images.

"Images?" Aoko Jingu raised an eyebrow, considering many possibilities, such as threatening images or gore...

Jingu Aoko sneered, "Heh, is this all the tricks you've got?"

Jingu Aoko had experienced threats and intimidation from unknown hostile forces when she was very young, and she remained unfazed even when she was a child, let alone now.

She would silently collect the messages sent by the other party, then find them and make them regret that the worst decision they ever made was sending them that message!

Aoko Jingu, her face filled with disdain and contempt, clicked on the photo the other party had sent...

"Huh?" Aoko Jingu was taken aback. The picture was not what she had imagined. There was no ghost face or anything scary. Instead, it was just an ordinary high-definition street photo.

A street photo that's... utterly unremarkable?

The surprise in Jingu Aoko's eyes turned into confusion. Why was it such an ordinary picture, with no highlights? What was the point of sending it?

Soon, Aoko Jingu slid her long, slender, white fingers and switched to the second picture. This time, she was in the same position as before, but this time the picture had a very clear main character!

And the main character is someone she knows...

Kiyoshi Miyazaki!

Aoko Jingu narrowed her eyes, as if she had thought of something. She silently swiped her finger to switch the picture back to the first one, and this time, she observed it more carefully.

Sure enough, the details that we hadn't noticed because of the crowd came to light.

In the restaurant in front of us, a limping teenager walked into the store amidst the crowd. His back looked very familiar... He was definitely a strong and muscular man, not some weak little chef!

Aoko Jingu raised an eyebrow: "Fishing?"

"Heh, such a low-level tactic..."

While Aoko was fuming, Yoshiko had secretly rescued Daimei and was busy wiping Daimei's fur with a handkerchief and wet wipes.

He was wiping it while blowing on it.

"My heart aches for Da Mei, sob sob, why are there such wicked women in the world? They don't even spare small animals, they have absolutely no compassion..."

Jingu Miko stroked Daimei's fur, picked her up, and kissed her twice.

Sure enough, it has to be their beautiful daughter who is the best.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound of a door closing came from inside the house, a loud bang that startled Miko Kamiya. She thought it was some vicious woman trying to take away her Daimei again, or even send Daimei away to enjoy her happiness. She hurriedly stuffed Daimei into her clothes.

She came to her senses and realized that the room was empty except for her.

"Huh? Where is everyone?!" A huge question mark appeared above Jingu Yoshiko's head. She hurriedly got up from the ground, opened the door, and peeked out. The sound of footsteps fading away came from the corridor.

"Don't argue, something's up!"

Jingu Yoshiko raised an eyebrow, her expression turning wicked, and she grabbed Daimei and ran outside.

"Someone, someone quick! Prepare a car for me, follow your young lady, quick, quick!"

A few minutes later.

A short-haired woman drove a black car with the Jingu family logo onto one of Tokyo's busiest streets and slowly pulled over to the side of the road.

Click, the car door opens!

Jingu Aoko got out of the car with a gloomy face. When she reached the shop entrance, she suddenly remembered something and glanced in the direction of the coffee shop.

Then he let out a cold snort!

We've entered the restaurant!

High-end fishing often employs the simplest methods... Jiang Taigong fished three inches out of the water, and those willing would take the bait!

As long as the bait is prepared well, there's no worry about not catching fish. Senior sister does this very well; it's a top-notch, overt strategy. Even if Jingu Aoko knew it was a trap and the person who messaged her was fishing, she still had no choice but to come...

Not showing up means not falling into the trap, it means the person who sent the message's plan has failed, it means... some troubled kid has successfully raided our base!

Aoko Jingu's rage +999 +999 +999...

After entering the store, Aoko Jingu was about to check each of the private rooms when her phone vibrated. This time, it was a different number that sent her the room number of the private room where Shido Kuroba was!

Jingu Aoko narrowed her eyes, memorized the room number, and turned to the short-haired woman following behind her, saying, "Go to that coffee shop outside and find the person who sent the message!"

"It's Miss!" The short-haired woman ran out with her phone in hand!

After finishing her sentence, Jingu Aoko tossed her phone to the short-haired woman and headed towards the private room where Kuroba Shido was!
