Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

Sherry suddenly spoke up, "I'll just rest with Xiaofeng."

Xiaolan was beaten to it by Shirley, so she had no choice but to say, "Hongzi, I'll share a room with you."

"Yeah, I don't know what's so great about this guy, so many people treat him like a treasure..."

Koizumi Akako casually opened a doorway, muttering to herself. She had tried to talk to Sherry in the car, but hadn't received a reply. Now, Sherry was asking to rest with Lin Xiaofeng, which made her feel somewhat unbalanced.

……

The Japanese-style room (tatami) is a classic type of bedroom in Japan. The entire room is made of wood, and the floor is raised to prevent it from being corroded by moisture and dampness from the soil.

The tatami mats on the floor and the shoji doors that open to the sides are the basic features of a Japanese-style room.

After Lin Xiaofeng carried Shirley and roughly surveyed the room, Hojo Hatsuho's voice rang out from the doorway: "Mr. Lin, I've brought you a blanket."

Opening the door, Hojo Hatsuho bowed slightly and continued, "Mr. Hayashi, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"If so, please just say so. The master hopes that after I've settled my rest issue as soon as possible, he'll take Mr. Lin to the tea room for tea and a chat."

552. Xiaolan, a model of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Xiaolan, a model of a virtuous wife and loving mother, had tidied up her room and come out shortly after she went in.

Seeing Hojo Hatsuho standing at the door waiting for her, she said, "Miss Hatsuho, you don't need to trouble yourself. I'll help Kofun-nii with the tidying up."

As she spoke, she walked past the little maid and went inside.

Shirley narrowed her eyes slightly, realizing that she had made the right decision to come along.

She threw the blanket onto the tatami mat, blocking Ran's path into the bedroom with her body, and smiled sweetly.

"Xiao Lan, you should go help that strange Koizumi Akako clean up. I think she's the one who needs help."

"But……"

Shirley, with her short legs, pushed her towards the door, saying, "There's no 'but' about it."

Xiaolan couldn't find a reason to stay, and was quickly pushed to the door by Shirley.

Without hesitation, Shirley pulled the shoji door in the middle, instantly separating the inside from the outside into two spaces.

She clapped her hands.

Completed the collection of 17 workers.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but hug and kiss Shirley, praising her, "Shiho is so capable, she even volunteered to do housework."

Shirley's serious expression softened instantly, and she snuggled closer to him like a kitten, saying coquettishly, "I didn't do it for you..."

……

I walked down a completely different corridor than when I first arrived.

Xiaolan exclaimed in amazement, "The Da Men family is really big! It's no less impressive than the ninety-nine families we saw before."

"If it weren't for Ms. Hatsuho leading the way, I might have really gotten lost."

Yoshiaki Daimon said, "Thanks to my father's abilities, Daimon Industries has been thriving all these years, and naturally, our family has grown as well."

“When I left here five years ago, this place hadn’t become like a maze.”

Hojo Hatsuho led the way and quickly brought everyone to the reception room.

Through the glass, a soft, pattering sound...

The light rain fell freely, and everyone except the matriarch of the Daimon family, Daimon Genichiro's wife, Daimon Ryuko, was already waiting there.

Upon seeing Hojo Hatsuho leading the group, Daimon Genichiro stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, Hatsuho, you can go and prepare dinner now."

"I'm going to have a long talk with Mr. Lin tonight."

"Ok."

Hojo Hatsuho had just turned around and taken a few steps when she turned back and said, "By the way, sir, the old lady said she's not feeling well tonight, so she won't be coming over."

Daimon Genichiro clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and said, "Honestly, didn't I tell her we had a distinguished guest? And she still came."

Kayoko Daimon chimed in, "It's perfectly normal for Grandma not to be able to eat..."

"Kayoko!"

Knowing what she was about to say, Daimon Kazuki immediately scolded, "You should at least watch your words. This is in front of important guests."

Kayoko Daimon glanced at him, unconcerned, and continued, "But what I'm about to say is all true. Every year on the anniversary of General Hideyuki's death, my grandmother would pray at the altar in her room until late at night."

"She even said that she heard strange noises when General Xiuyou committed suicide."

"I think that's why today's situation is the same."

“In her eyes, nothing could be more important than worshipping that suit of armor.”

Upon hearing the clue about the armor, a glint flashed in Koizumi Akako's eyes as she sat opposite Lin Xiaofeng.

But Lin Xiaofeng remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard a thing, which fueled a nameless anger within her.

They promised to come here, but they're acting like it's a vacation, and they don't even listen carefully to such an important clue!

This is too much!

She stretched out one foot and kicked Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng's lips curled into a subtle smile. He immediately freed one hand to control the woman's surprise attack under the tablecloth, while calmly speaking:

"If Madam Daimon is not feeling well, she should rest early. Whether she appears here or not is completely irrelevant."

"We were the ones who presumptuously visited today, and now..."

Demanding too much is going too far.

Daimon Ichiki nodded and said, "Mr. Lin is so understanding. My mother's health has always been poor..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Daimon Ryosuke again and said meaningfully, "Besides, someone that old has to worry about even more things. It's impossible for him to recover even if he wanted to."

Xiao Lan, who was sitting on the other side of Lin Xiaofeng, had been listening with great interest, but after seeing Koizumi Akako's flushed cheeks, she couldn't help but ask:

"Hongzi, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold after getting caught in the rain today?"

"Why don't you go back and rest like Madam Daimon?"

Lin Xiaofeng also looked concerned and said, "Yes, it's a bit chilly in the living room because of the ventilation. It's good to go back and rest early."

When Koizumi Akako saw everyone looking at her, her face turned even redder. 467 quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no need. I'm just a little dizzy, it's not that bad..."

Daimon Genichiro immediately said, "Let Hatsuho make you a bowl of ginger soup later, Miss. It will warm you up and make you feel much better."

"Um……"

……

Hatsuho Hojo was very efficient; dinner was served quite early.

Seeing the ginger soup actually appear in front of her, Koizumi Akako glared at Lin Xiaofeng with a murderous look.

However, Lin Xiaofeng was completely unaffected by her and continued to use the serving chopsticks to transfer beef from his own bowl to Shirley's bowl.

"Shiho has small breasts, so she should eat more meat."

Shirley nodded silently, then glanced smugly at Xiaolan, knowing that only she received such treatment.

Xiaolan, you have big breasts, you should give up as soon as possible.

Xiao Lan blinked, then started eating with her chopsticks. "Brother Xiao Feng, actually I'm on a diet recently, so you can have this piece."

She spoke with such conviction that Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but believe her to some extent.

Sitting next to Koizumi Akako, opposite Ran, Hojo Hatsuho looked her head up and down and couldn't help but say, "But Ran-san, your figure is already perfect."

553. Lin Xiaofeng also has die-hard fans.

Xiaolan said modestly, "It's all because I've been practicing karate with Brother Xiaofeng in bed."

Hojo Hatsuho nodded. "I see."

Lin Xiaofeng patted the little jealous girl's hair to comfort her, then looked at Daimon Genichiro and said:

"President Daimon, Daimon Industries seems to be making a lot of moves lately. It looks like it's almost time to decide on the next president."

Upon hearing this, everyone from the same household at the gate raised their heads in unison.

A surge of barely suppressed heat emanated from the tree at the gate.

Seeing all this, Daimon Genichiro sighed and said, "I think this kind of thing still needs to be carefully considered."

“If my family had an heir like Mr. Lin, I could hand over the company to him without any worries, but…”

He sighed again, "Forget it, let's eat first. I'm not going to die anytime soon, and I have plenty of time to choose what to do."

Kayoko Daimon pouted and muttered under her breath, "What's going on? It's been Kazuki handling everything lately, isn't he just keeping us hanging on..."

Only her husband, Kazuki Daimon, who was standing closest to her, heard this. However, he didn't say anything, simply picked up his bowl, and began to eat.

But the dissatisfaction in his eyes was not hidden in the slightest.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At that moment, Genichiro Daimon suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Ryoro, what have you been up to lately?"

"Your mother has worried a lot about you, but you haven't sent back a single message. No wonder she didn't want to come out today."

Yoshiaki Daimon was silent for a moment before speaking, "I'm very sorry about this, Dad..."

"As for me now, I'm a resident singer at a restaurant."

"A live singer at the restaurant?"

Genichiro Daimon was stunned for a moment before he realized what kind of job this was. Then his expression suddenly turned stern. "How could you do such a dead-end job!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to make music? Is this what music is?"

“I think you should come back to work at the family company. Your brother is already quite busy on his own.”

Upon hearing this, even...

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but glance at him slightly.

With Kazuki Daimon already taking over the family business, it wouldn't be a wise move to have another son come and help.

It's likely that Genichiro Daimon was harboring some kind of treacherous intention.

The two brothers were allowed to fight each other, and in the end, a victor was chosen amidst endless intrigue and scheming.

With that in mind, everyone looked at Da Men Lianglang, anticipating his answer.

But the other worm that hadn't yet been trapped—Ryosuke Daimon—lowered his head and remained silent.

a long time.

Genichiro Daimon sighed deeply. "Alright, let's eat first. We can talk about this later. It's good that you're back, Yoshiro."

……

After dinner, Kazuki Daimon and his wife went to the study with Genichiro Daimon to discuss company matters.

Having never been involved in such matters before, Ryoichi Madoka naturally had no chance to get involved and chatted idly with Lin Xiaofeng and the others in the reception room.

At that moment, the maid, Hojo Hatsuho, walked in, holding a pen and paper. "Mr. Hayashi, could you please sign your name for me?"

"I'm a fan of yours. I've been following your reasoning for a long time, and I've recorded a lot of reports about you."

"You're so thoughtful." Lin Xiaofeng couldn't believe he had such amazing die-hard fans.

Hojo Hatsuho paused for a second, then gave a faint smile and explained, "The tape was actually recorded by my father. Ever since he first saw your mystery, he has been fascinated by your theories, Mr. Hayashi. Whenever something related to you appears on TV, he will record it carefully from beginning to end. I am able to see such wonderful stories thanks to my father."

"Would you like to hear a mystery story that I told myself, one that has never been reported in the news?"

"Great!"

Hojo Hatsuho looked like a devoted fan, with a hint of fervor flashing in her eyes from time to time. It was clear that she was a huge fan of mystery and Lin Xiaofeng.

Xiao Lan and Shirley immediately looked at Lin Xiaofeng with great interest.

Koizumi Akako turned her head away with a disdainful look: "Tch, deduction is the most boring thing..."

Lin Xiaofeng told the story with great vividness. Even Daimon Yoshiro, a fake mystery enthusiast, listened with great interest.

After listening, Hojo Hatsuho seemed captivated by the story, and after a long while, she nodded and said, "So that's how it really happened..."

"I thought it was Mr. Lin who found the clues about that lady that led to the successful resolution of the case. I never expected there to be such a hidden story."
