Although after getting married, Song Fangjing had already changed her name to Zuo Yunjing, such small details were not important, and there was no need for him to argue with his senior.

"Then how should we deal with Matsukata Shizuka?" Sagihara Shion was still a little confused. "Jun-kun, although you have heard rumors that they are involved in illegal activities, it is not that easy to find evidence..."

"If I rely on myself, it will be very difficult, but if there are elders to consult with me, the situation will be different..." Mogami Jun grinned and laughed silently, "Senior, my mother has given me some advice."

Looking at Jun Mogami's weird smile, Sagihara Shion shuddered subconsciously.

Only then did she remember that Chunjun was not so gentle to everyone.

No matter who you are, it would be unpleasant to be regarded as an enemy by him...

Soon, Sagihara Shion abandoned this useless thought and continued to ask, "What's your idea? Tell me."

Jun Mogami did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment and looked around.

It's not that he is cautious, it's just that the environment here is not suitable for talking about such important things.

"Isn't it inconvenient to talk here?" Sagihara Shion immediately reacted, so she stood up, "Okay, let's go, we've rested enough here."

Jun Mogami did not delay and stood up directly. He followed Senior Sagihara out of the shop and returned to the street.

It was now dusk, the temperature on the street had dropped a lot, and the breeze brought quite a bit of coolness. The two of them were walking slowly forward in the narrow street, bathing in the golden sunlight.

"Chun-kun, is it convenient to talk now?" After walking for a while and making sure that there were no people around, Sagihara Shion asked again, "I can't hold back my curiosity..."

"Since the Izumo family has been doing this for many years, they must have been very careful and left very few loopholes, so it is very difficult to find evidence directly from them." Mogami Jun replied in a low voice, "But there is no such thing as a perfect crime in the world. Since they want to sell artworks for money, they will inevitably leave loopholes. Those illegal artworks that have been sold, once found, will be irrefutable evidence of their crimes. No matter how many precautions are taken, this cannot be changed."

Sagihara Shion nodded, not quite understanding. "I understand the basic idea, but...how do we find those illegal artworks? There can't be only one buyer, and they won't tell us directly where they live...even if we find the buyer, they may not believe us..."

"You are right. These problems do exist." Mogami Jun nodded honestly. "My mother and I were also worried about this problem at the beginning. However, we soon found a breakthrough--"

"What breakthrough?"

"The truth is actually quite simple." Mogami Junya relaxed and stretched. "Since they are reselling artworks or fakes, the Izumo family will definitely sell these things to collectors at high prices. Some of these collectors will treasure the artworks after buying them, but there are also many businessmen who buy artworks just to wait for appreciation... Some businessmen will even take artworks to banks for mortgage loans... After all, businessmen often have financing needs, and it is very common to use artworks as collateral for mortgage loans. Many of the buyers of the Izumo family over the years must have done so."

Then, he clenched his fist and swung it heavily, just like a baseball batting motion. "As long as we find the collateral in the bank vault and the illegal artworks inside, the actions of the Izumo family will be exposed to the eyes of the world! Then they will not be able to deny it at all!"

“It turns out to be like this…” Sagihara Shion opened her mouth and took a deep breath.

She never thought that the junior who looked calm and followed her to the Matsukata family to fight had actually done things to this extent.

What was even more terrifying was that she hadn't noticed any traces of this when she normally interacted with him. It was not until now, when he explained it to her face, that she realized that a huge net had slowly been spread out towards the Matsukata family.

If she really fell into the trap, I'm afraid no matter how arrogant Matsukata Shizuka was, she would have to surrender.

She thought about it carefully and examined Jun Mogami's plan.

He grasped the main contradiction accurately and effectively, and the most powerful thing was that it was almost a fatal blow. As long as he could find evidence to confirm the rumors about the Matsukata family, the Matsukata family would inevitably be in a shaky position and would have to surrender to him.

She raised her head and looked at Chunjun's confident expression.

Kind of scary.

But, the serious Jun-kun is also very charming.

One can't help but be in awe.

Luckily, he was just doing this for a good cause.

It would be terrible if such a person was determined to do evil.

At least it's definitely scarier than my father.

No, I can't let Chunjun become that kind of person, she thought secretly.

"How do I check the artwork from the bank's vault? This should be difficult, right?" She thought about it for a long time and finally found a difficulty.

"For most people, this is a very difficult thing, but to be honest, as long as the rules and even the law are enforced by people, there will be loopholes. The so-called obstacles are only set up for those who are powerless..." Mogami Jun replied with a smile, "Some people have ways to circumvent the bank's regulations, although it's not me."

Sagihara Shion blinked, then thought of something.

"Your grandpa...?"

Then she immediately covered her mouth.

This kind of thing really shouldn't be said.

Then she nodded.

"Indeed...it looks like everything is fine now."

"There are actually only two things we need to do next. On the one hand, we need to continue to intimidate Matsukata Nobuyuki and make a feint to the east and attack in the west, so that they will think that we are going to fight the Matsukata family to the end; on the other hand, we need to carefully search and find a list of artworks that the Izumo family has sold over the years, and then compare the list of artworks with the list of collateral in the bank's vault. Any items that overlap are likely to be the target." Mogami Jun continued, "Of course, we can't check all the bank's vaults, but the Izumo family has sold so many artworks that there will almost certainly be similar collateral in two or three banks, so I think we will be able to find it."

"I will cooperate and help with the investigation." Sagihara Shion nodded gently. "After I go back, I will continue to write protest letters to the Matsukata family, forcing them to apologize again, and then write some fierce threats, which should let them know how powerful I am. On the other hand, I will also help track down those artworks, although it may not be that easy..."

"It's easy to say, but it's definitely not that easy to do. Since the Izumo family hasn't been caught for such a long time, they must have their own way, so we really can't be too optimistic now." Mogami Jun nodded, "Senior, let's continue anyway, we must catch them!"

"Yeah!" Sagihara Shion nodded slightly, but did not seem very happy.

"Senior, what's wrong?" Jun Mogami was a little surprised.

"Junjun...are we actually walking on the edge of gray?" After a moment's silence, Sagihara Shion asked in a low voice.

"Ah, I guess so." Mogami Jun nodded bluntly. "At least it might violate the bank's regulations."

"This is not an easy thing, please don't answer me in that tone, okay..." Sagihara Shion raised her voice.

"Hmm?" Mogami Jun was a little confused. "Senior, what's wrong?"

"I know, Jun-jun, you have always had some contempt for the so-called rules. I also felt this from what you said just now. From the beginning to the end, you only cared about whether you could achieve your goal and never thought about other issues. I admire your dedication and persistence to victory very much, but at the same time, it is also very scary... I hope you will not trample on the law with a rash attitude. When you have to do it, you should have a little corresponding self-awareness, okay? Please be cautious about what you do." Sagihara Shion said in a low voice.

"I'm not a messenger of justice, and I won't insist that we do everything in an upright manner. I'm even willing to help you fight those people in a gray way. But... I've seen how Hyoudou Takako acts, and I really don't want to see you become that kind of person...

I know that society can never be completely fair. There are kings and pawns. However, no one is king alone. It is because of the pawns that the king exists. You have the ability to stand in front of the pawns, so you should reflect on yourself. Only in this way can you be worthy of your status, right? "

Then, she smiled bitterly, "I don't know what I'm saying. I... I just hope that Chun-jun can be like the first time I met him, proud but still shining..."

Mogami Jun was silent.

How should he answer his senior?

To be honest, he was not convinced by the senior.

When other people have no bottom line, adding a layer of moral self-restraint to yourself will only tie your own hands.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

Would she take the morals seriously when talking to someone like Hyoudou Takako? Don't be ridiculous.

The Izumo family has been carrying out such activities for many years. Isn't this against the law? Can they do it, but I can't?

At any time, the priority is just to win. If you win, you have the right to speak, and with the right to speak, you can talk about righteousness. What the loser says is meaningless. That's how he sees it.

However, he knew that the senior would never want to see him abandon everything.

That wasn't the kind of person she wanted to be loved with.

It's impossible for everyone to have the same worldview, right?

In other words, if you saw a mirror image with an identical personality, how would you view it?

The two people would probably be like predators, instinctively alert and on guard, and then try their best to eliminate the threat from each other.

Therefore, it is a good thing that the senior sister’s ideas are different from mine, and this is exactly the kind of senior sister Sakihara that I admire and like.

There is no need to argue. It is meaningless to argue about such things.

If Senior was around, I probably wouldn't have ended up like that...

"I remember we had an agreement before, right?" He asked with a smile after a moment. "Don't worry."

"I've always remembered it." Sagihara Shion replied tenderly. "It's good that you remember it too."

247, Era

"I've always remembered it. Fortunately, you remember it too."

There seemed to be great relief in Sagihara Shion's words.

Next, the two of them tacitly changed the topic and began to talk about some insignificant little things and daily life experiences to dilute the serious atmosphere just now.

It was not until they arrived at the subway station that they said goodbye to each other reluctantly.

Since they lived very close to each other, they came here together. There was only one reason why they did not return together - Jun Mogami had another destination.

As the train moved forward, after waiting for a while, he walked out of the station that he was very familiar with.

Following the route he had walked countless times, he entered the familiar large building, took out his card to open the door, took the elevator back to his home, and then opened the door.

Yes, after a long time, he finally came home.

Although he had moved out for a long time, he didn't feel anything strange when he returned home.

Everything was the same as before, nothing had changed.

Even the deserted atmosphere was exactly the same as usual.

The time he was away was like a dream, leaving no trace here.

There was no one inside yet, and as usual, he went home alone.

"I'm back." He shouted to the air out of habit, then changed his shoes and returned home.

He first returned to his room and found that it was a little dusty, but the furnishings were still exactly the same as before.

It seems that my father hasn't asked the housekeeper to clean his room recently. Maybe it's because of the influence of the previous incident. My father is not confident to ask the housekeeper to clean important places again.

Since he had to stay at home tonight, Mogami Jun tidied up his room.

His requirements were not high, as long as it was habitable, so he was satisfied with a rough cleaning. Just as he was about to lie down on the bed with changed sheets to take a rest, there was a sound from the other side of the door.

㈨5⑧ 1

Jun Mogami quickly stood up from the bed and walked back into the living room.

A middle-aged man and an old man came in.

The middle-aged man was naturally his father, who was the most polite. As usual, he wore a black suit and a black tie, looking serious and meticulous. Although the weather was hot, it didn't seem to have any effect on him.

The elderly person was his grandfather Kousuke Hezawa, who was wearing a brown casual suit, a gray shirt and a plaid tie. Since his retirement, he has indeed dressed much more casually.

"Good evening." Mogami Jun bowed quickly.

Mogami Qing just glanced at him without saying anything, then changed his shoes and walked in.

However, Kousuke Hezawa seemed a little dissatisfied and frowned slightly.

"Where's that damn girl?!"

"Mom said she was busy at work today, so she couldn't come..." Jun Mogami answered in a low voice.

"You're busy with work, you just don't dare to see me?! This bastard daughter!" As expected, the old man immediately got angry, "He took you away without saying a word, without even an apology, and now he's gone? How come you're becoming more and more lawless?!"

As people get older, their tempers tend to become short-tempered and they can lose their temper easily. This time, he came here but ended up not even seeing his daughter. You can imagine how he felt.

When the old man was furious, the man next to him turned away silently, still without saying anything. He must have been secretly criticizing his father-in-law for raising such a good daughter.

After a tantrum, Kousuke Hezawa finally calmed down and sat on the sofa with his son-in-law and grandson.

He was in no mood to waste time, so he got straight to the point.

"Chun, is the news you said reliable?"

"I'm not completely sure it's true, but the chairman told me seriously in person." Mogami Jun answered carefully. "He solemnly advised me to be careful at the time. I think with his personality, he shouldn't say something slanderous about others. He must have heard some rumors from somewhere-"

"Why did Nobuyasu Horikawa tell you this?" Kawasawa Kosuke asked again.

"I helped him a lot and solved some problems for him, so he felt that he owed me something, so he told me this." Mogami Jun explained briefly, "Although it may sound a bit boastful, I think he probably admires me."

"Hey... you can actually say that yourself." Hearing his grandson's shameless words, Heze Kangjie couldn't help but laugh.

But the smile soon disappeared, he became serious again, and lowered his head to ponder.

The fingers of his two hands were crossed together and he rubbed them subconsciously. This was his habit when thinking, so Jun Mogami and his son did not say anything to disrupt his thoughts.

"Forget it, let's trust Horikawa Nobuyasu for once. He should be a steady person." After a long while, he nodded heavily. "I hope things are really as he said, otherwise we will risk everything for nothing."

It is no wonder that he is so conflicted. Although he once held a high position of power, he is now retired after all. His power and influence are fading. Even if he can rely on his old relationships to ask others for help, it will still cost him money.

For him, relationships are precious resources. The more they are used, the less they are. Moreover, one must give the other party just the right amount of return, and they cannot be used lightly.

If you go to such great lengths and end up with nothing, it would be a huge loss.

But even though it was risky, Kousuke Hezawa finally decided to do it.

After all, he only had one grandson, and his hopes were pinned on him. Otherwise, what was the point of keeping so many old relationships? The plan to marry the Izumo family had already come to this point, and he was unwilling to give up halfway anyway.
