"In that case, let's discuss what we should do?" Mogami Jun continued.

"How to do it? The simplest and most ready-made method is obvious, isn't it?" Mogami Sayuki suddenly laughed and looked at her son with a strange look, "And not only is it simple, you can do it right now, it's guaranteed to be effective and solve the problem in one go."

Is there such a good thing in the world? Mogami Jun doesn't believe it.

It's obvious that mom is joking.

"What do you mean?" he sighed. "You're not lying, are you?"

"How could it be a lie? Let me tell you, the solution is very simple. Come downstairs with me now, and we'll get in my car and drive all the way to where Asana is hiding at a speed you can't imagine. Then we'll pick her up and hide her so that her mother can't find her... How about that? Isn't that how it's resolved?" Mogami Sayuki laughed even harder, "Don't worry, my mother drives very fast. You've experienced it once, right?"

This is not a question of driving speed at all, right? !

Mogami Jun was sure that his mother was just joking.

Asana would definitely not be willing to just run away with the mother and son of the Mogami family.

Although this can indeed solve the problem - if Asana follows him, then all kinds of rumors will surely appear in the outside world, and by then the Matsukata family might just withdraw due to their reputation, and Mrs. Izumo will be so angry that she will vomit blood, and she will probably have no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.

But if she ran away with him, wouldn't her own reputation and the reputation of the Izumo family be ruined? Mogami Jun didn't care, but Asana cared too much.

She refused to even take her parents to court, let alone do something like this.

"Mom, stop joking. Asana will definitely not agree with this idea. Do you have any more realistic suggestions?" Mogami Jun couldn't help but sigh.

"You're asking me to come up with an idea right now, how can I do that?" Mogami Sayuki couldn't help but smile bitterly again, "You guys don't want to use the simplest and most direct method, then I don't have any other options. I can't just knock on their door and ask them to leave on their own accord, can I?"

"I do have a little idea..." Seeing that his mother was at a loss, Mogami Jun finally took out the trump card he had hidden deep in his heart.

"I once heard a piece of gossip from the chairman of our school - the Izumo family has not been doing well over the years. In order to maintain the family and meet the huge expenses of the family members, they have come up with some crooked ideas. It seems that they have been smuggling and reselling artworks in private, and even forged fakes and sold them at high prices..."

"What? There is such a thing?" Mogami Sayuki was surprised.

Then, she looked at her son suspiciously, "Why would your chairman tell you this? Is he kidding?"

"I can't confirm whether the story is true or not, but I can be sure that the chairman would never joke about such a thing." Mogami Jun replied, "As for why he told me, that's another story. Anyway, the chairman thinks highly of me."

"You are really an amazing boy." Sayuki Mogami couldn't help but complain.

Then, she fell into deep thought again. "If it's true, it's really lethal."

There is no doubt that for a famous family like the Izumo family, the most important thing is face. Moreover, they have been dealing in art for many years and have sold countless collections. If they were caught with smuggling or counterfeiting, it would definitely be fatal.

Once this handle is held, no matter how strong-willed Mrs. Izumo is, she will probably have to bow her head. She absolutely cannot afford the consequences of having the matter exposed, and at that time she will have no choice but to do whatever she is asked to do.

"I'm not sure if the news is true or not, and I need to verify it. Mom, I see you are well-informed, so how about... you help me try to investigate it?" Mogami Jun asked expectantly.

"So, the reason you told me all this was to get me to do this?" Mogami Sayuki finally understood. "Have you already thought about it?"

Mogami Jun just smiled and said nothing.

Sayuki Mogami stared at her son for a moment, seeming a little surprised.

"Son, you are a little scary sometimes...Okay, I can give it a try." Mogami Sayuki hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "But promise me, no matter what, don't involve Asana. No matter what her parents did, it has nothing to do with her."

"That's what I wanted to say. In any case, these things have nothing to do with Asana. You don't need to reveal a single word to her." Mogami Jun nodded. "Some things might be better if she doesn't know."

"You still have some conscience. That's good. I feel relieved too." Mogami Sayuki nodded.

Then, she laughed jokingly, "Suppose all this is true, then when everything is exposed and there is no way out, if she asks for peace with us in order to save her family and uses her daughter as collateral for the peace treaty, will you accept it or not?"

"...Please stop joking." Mogami Jun could only continue to sigh.

238, Courage and Awareness

Even though he knew his mother was joking with him, Mogami Jun couldn't help but have some fantasies.

Although it might be a bit exaggerated to say this, if I really find evidence that the Izumo family is suspected of committing a crime, in order to preserve the dignity of their own family, they really have no choice but to surrender, and I can do whatever I want.

Asking for Asana was of course just a joke, but asking for something else as a reward shouldn't be excessive at all, right?

For example, the two seals seen in Izumo Yosuke's study.

Although these two seals can be considered cultural relics, they are not actually particularly valuable. However, when Mogami Jun saw this pair of seals, he liked them very much and wanted to get them.

Moreover, they must be of great significance to Mrs. Izumo—they are not ordinary collections, but relics of her great-grandfather. If she were to take them away by force, she would definitely be very angry...

So, if there is no chance, forget it, but if there is a chance, then treat them as trophies.

It can be regarded as revenge for their family's repeated offenses against me...

"Okay, let's stop with Asana. I have another question for you—" Just as Mogami Jun was lost in thought, Mogami Sayuki suddenly changed the subject. "Have you made any progress on what we talked about last time?"

"I was just about to tell you this!" Mogami Jun nodded immediately, "Please wait for me a moment."

Then he went straight back to his bedroom, took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer and handed them to his mother.

"What is this?" asked Mogami Sayuki.

"This is the testimony of the victim that I have collected so far, as well as the diagnosis report after he was admitted to the hospital." Mogami Jun replied, "At that time, he attended a special cram school held by Hyoudou Takako, and was used as a subject for the experiment, so I think the things he provided should be quite useful."

Naturally, he also got these evidences from Hirofumi Hanyu.

However, in order to protect Hirofumi Hanyu, he deliberately did not say his name in front of his mother, but simply referred to him as a victim, and Sayuki Mogami did not ask any further questions.

"Oh? That's really a good stuff." Mogami Sayuki took it and took a look at it.

After reading it, she threw the papers aside and looked at her son again. "These things are indeed useful. I'll take them away first. But... just these are not enough. So much time has passed. It's easy for Hyoudou Takako to get away from these evidences."

"I think so too. These things are still not strong enough." Mogami Jun nodded distressedly, "But so much time has passed. It's too late to collect strong evidence... If only I could find a way to get a few of those pills..."

"Don't be discouraged. The fact that you were able to obtain these things in such a short time shows that you are working hard. I am very happy." Mogami Sayuki smiled and comforted her son. "Besides, it's still early, and there are still new opportunities..."

"A new opportunity..." Mogami Jun was a little puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"I just received the news too - Hyoudou Takako has returned to the country." replied Mogami Sayuki.

"Ah?!" Jun Mogami was a little surprised, but soon calmed down.

Come to think of it, it's nothing. It's not like Hyoudou Takako was exiled, so it's not surprising that he returns to his country.

"She must be going to the United States this time for drug experiments. Relying on the data feedback from the clinical trials in Japan, those American research institutions should be able to make some progress..." Mogami Sayuki whispered, "And, after she comes back, she should continue the experiments."

"Yes! I will!" Mogami Jun had a flash of inspiration.

With Hyodou Takako's arrogant and conceited personality, she would definitely not be the kind of person who gives up halfway, and she would definitely carry out the drug experiment to the end.

So there is no doubt that after any research progress is made in the United States, she will start a new round of experiments.

And this time, we can catch her weak spot.

As long as we get the drugs, it will be irrefutable evidence.

When the Hyoudou Group was at its peak, even if there was such "ironclad evidence", it would be meaningless. Hyoudou Takako would not be afraid at all, because his grandfather could suppress the matter through various political and business connections anyway.

But if the time really comes when President Hyoudou dies as my mother said and various forces begin to besiege the Hyoudou family, then these "ironclad evidences" will truly be ironclad evidence.

In this day and age, it is such a cruel act to wantonly conduct drug experiments on ordinary people. Once brought to court, even if Hyoudou Takako hired a team of luxurious lawyers, he would definitely not escape the guilty verdict.

By then, I can trample the arrogant Hyoudou Takako under my feet...

When he thought of this, Jun Mogami became excited.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ear.

"Ah..." He couldn't help but screamed in pain, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Wake up, don't get too excited." Mogami Sayuki looked at her son with a half-smile, "Jun, I know what you're thinking. You look steady, but you actually love adventures and are full of a desire to win. You have to defeat your enemies... It's the same with Mrs. Izumo and Hyoudou Takako. But you're still a teenager after all. You've lived under the wings of me and your father since you were a child, and you've never experienced real danger. This excitement is just an impulse of hot-bloodedness, not real courage."

At this point, she sighed, "I learned in history class that when the First World War just started, the armies of various countries were full of young people who were full of vigor and vitality. They were fearless and had no experience in facing new weapons. They charged directly at the enemy's machine gun positions, and in the end they all turned into bloody corpses. The so-called sacrifice was meaningless... So, you should understand that when courage does not come from enlightenment but from ignorance, then no matter how gorgeous it looks, it is worthless and is just a joke for bystanders."

"When courage comes not from enlightenment but from ignorance, then no matter how beautiful it looks, it is worthless..."

Jun Mogami repeated this sentence silently and finally nodded.

"You make a lot of sense."

"The Teiai Group has been rampant on the ground for so many years. I am afraid that even I cannot explain how amazing the energy it contains is. Even now I am not sure. If Hyoudou Kazuo dies, the Teiai Group will really fall apart under the attack of the outside world. We are also taking a risk. I have this awareness." Mogami Sayuki continued to look at her son. "To be honest, this is definitely not something to be excited about. If you just think it's fun, then it's really ignorant. Since I have realized it, I am not worried about myself, but I am worried about you. I even regret dragging you in now. My son is much more precious than Hyoudou Kazuo's family. If something happens to you, what's the point even if the entire Hyoudou family is torn into pieces? Can I have another son?"

The mother's words were sincere and heartfelt. After listening to them, Mogami Jun felt both moved and ashamed.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I really shouldn't take things so lightly."

"It's meaningless to say this now. Since you've already started, just keep going. You'll continue even if I don't allow you to." Mogami Sayuki continued to look at him and spoke word by word. "But there's one thing you have to understand. Your own safety is your first consideration. I'd rather have Hyodo Takako go unpunished than to prioritize your own safety. I can't completely control all your actions, but before you do anything, think about what we would become without you. I emphasize again, it's us, not just me - go find your own courage with this awareness, okay?"

Under his mother's eyes, Jun Mogami was deeply moved.

No matter what, she is indeed her mother.

This time, I'm not fighting alone.

"I promise you, I will do this." Mogami Jun nodded heavily. "Although things are unpredictable, even the most perfect actions may have flaws, but I will do everything I can to protect myself. I will keep this awareness in mind."

"Well, I believe you." Mogami Sayuki nodded and smiled, "You have always made me proud. Thank you, son. Please continue to live like you have in the past."

Before he could say anything else, she suddenly burst into laughter again, then stretched lazily, "Wow... why is the atmosphere suddenly so solemn? Okay, relax! There's no need for us to be so reserved!"

Aren’t you the one who always brings up such serious topics… Jun Mogami’s face was filled with black lines.

But he also understood his mother's hint - that was the end of today's explanation.

"Okay, Mom, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed first. Good night." He said goodbye to his mother.

"Ah, don't! I have something else to trouble you with." Mogami Sayuki suddenly waved and stopped him.

"Is there anything else?" Mogami Jun asked with some confusion.

"Don't look so panicked, it's nothing, just a small matter!" Mogami Sayuki replied with a smile, then patted her shoulder with her hand, "Come on, son, rub my shoulders for me. I have to go to work today and drove for such a long time, and my bones feel weak. Do you remember? I used to do this when I was a child..."

…………

"Mom, although I did often have to rub your shoulders to earn pocket money when I was a child, I am no longer a child now."

"What does it matter... You're not that old now!" Mogami Sayuki shook her head nonchalantly, then blinked her eyes, "Why, don't you want pocket money now?"

In essence, Jun Mogami is not short of money now and would not care about such temptation at all.

However, he still nodded. "Okay..."

Then he walked over, went around the back of the sofa, and pressed his mother's shoulders.

"It looks like your arms have become much stronger. You've really grown up." Mogami Sayuki narrowed her eyes slightly and continued watching TV with an enjoyable smile. "Having a son is indeed useful."

239, Surprise and Perseverance

At his mother's request, Mogami Jun rubbed her shoulders for a long time before the two said goodbye and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Finally finishing this tiring work, he lay back on the bed with a little tiredness.

However, although it looked quite reluctant, he had no resentment in his heart.

On the contrary, he felt very warm receiving his mother's care.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the feelings that his senior sister seemed to have towards him.

It is a sense of security that "no matter what, there will always be someone standing on my side."

Although he has always been accustomed to fighting alone and does not necessarily need someone to support him, it would be impossible not to be moved if someone really stood by him so unreservedly.

Haha, brothers fight tigers together, mothers and sons fight together in battle, and you, Takako Hyoudou, come on! I'm not afraid!

Just at this moment, Jun Mogami's cell phone rang again.

Ah, why is my phone so busy today... With this complaint, Mogami Jun picked up his phone casually.

Then he found out that it was Sakihara-senpai.

He quickly dispelled his impatience and answered the phone.

"Good evening, Senior." He greeted, "May I ask what I can do for you?"

"Jun-kun, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I just came back from the library..." Senior Sister Sagihara's voice was as pleasant as ever, but still a little tired. "If I hadn't forgotten the time, I should have called you earlier--"

"It doesn't matter. Senior called at the perfect time..." Mogami Jun replied with a smile, "No, it should be said that even if Senior called at any time, it would be the perfect time."

It wasn't that he meant to compliment her. He was just massaging his mother's back. If he suddenly received a call from Senior Sagihara, his mother would definitely tease him severely.

"You're so smooth-talking." Sagihara Shion seemed to have a stern face, but she didn't seem unhappy at all. "Tomorrow is the day we meet—"

"Yes, I remember it even without you reminding me, Senior." Mogami Jun replied immediately, "This is my spiritual energy replenishment day. Every time we meet, I feel like I am cleansed by the holy light."

"...Do you like to embarrass me so much? Why do you have to say it so embarrassingly?" Senior Sister Luyuan couldn't stand it anymore and raised her voice, "I...I'm not being coquettish with you. I'm calling you now because I want to tell you that I have something important to tell you tomorrow."
