Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Luo, this can really not work. I'll have Xiao Lan buy you another one later, okay?"

Looking at the smiling face of the cute little boy in front of her, Matsumoto Sayuri felt a deep sense of guilt.

After all, she was the one who took the initiative to tell the other person to ask her for more if they wanted more.

"no!"

Luo Tian would not allow a tragedy to happen.

While the bride wasn't looking, he snatched the can of lemon tea.

It happened so fast that Matsumoto Sayuri didn't even have time to react.

"Ouch—it's really hot!"

As soon as Luo Tian grasped the can, he immediately felt a surge of heat.

Its temperature is roughly equivalent to hot water that has just been poured into a cup and cooled down a while ago.

If he hadn't been mentally prepared, he probably would have let go immediately.

After snatching the lemon tea, Luo Tian didn't rush to drink it. Instead, he ran to the door of the lounge and blocked the way for the groom who was about to leave.

"Little brother, is there anything I can help you with?"

When he saw someone blocking his way, Toshihiko Takasugi almost had a cardiac arrest.

He thought his little trick had been discovered!

He only breathed a sigh of relief and managed a smile when he saw that the person in front of him was a cute little boy.

"You're the groom, right?"

Looking at the dapper-looking guy in front of him, Luo Tian smiled slightly.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"This is the drink the bride drank from, here you can have it!"

"Ugh?!"

Takasugi Toshihiko's expression froze as he looked at the lemon tea that was handed to him.

When he heard Luo Tian clamoring to drink it too, he wanted to say, "You can't just drink this stuff!"

He pretended not to hear it just to avoid exposing his poisoning.

Now that this thing has reappeared in front of him, he is still quite flustered, after all, this is his first time killing someone.

"Um, I don't like lemon tea. If you're not going to drink it, you should give it back to Sayuri!"

With that said, Takasugi Toshihiko, trying to appear calm, decided to bypass Luo Tian and leave first.

These words undoubtedly shattered Matsumoto Sayuri's last shred of hope.

Returning it to yourself? Does that mean the poison has to be administered?!

They'd be willing to risk infecting an innocent child?!

Prior to this, Sayuri Matsumoto had always believed that Toshihiko Takasugi was simply driven by hatred.

She would accept it if she could give her own life in place of her father to resolve this feud.

Only now does she realize how completely wrong she was!

"That won't do! Today is a wedding! The bride and groom definitely have to drink the nuptial wine at a 360-degree angle! That's how it's shown on TV!"

Luo Tian certainly wouldn't let the other party off so easily.

He stepped aside again to block Takasugi Toshihiko's path, still smiling, and offered him the lemon tea.

"This lemon tea is really warming! It'll definitely give you a boost of energy!"

Faced with the smile of an adorable little boy, no normal person could resist.

But to Toshihiko Takasugi, that smile appeared terrifying.

He even had a premonition that the child in front of him already knew about the poisoning!

Not only him, but Matsumoto Sayuri also noticed something amiss, and stopped her attempt to stop them.

"Drink! Why won't you drink?!"

He ripped off the straw, pulled the tab off the can completely, and pushed the lemon tea forward forcefully.

The shaking of the can caused a few drops of liquid to spill out, which, with his skillful control, landed precisely on the groom's trouser leg.

This caused Takasugi Toshihiko's expression to change drastically. He retreated while constantly swinging his legs, afraid that the few drops of liquid would seep into his skin.

The comical actions made everyone in the lounge smile.

Even Matsumoto Sayuri felt that the knot in her heart had loosened considerably.

Chapter 252 You son of a bitch! Why?! (Second update)

Takasugi Toshihiko's comical performance didn't last long before a flurry of footsteps sounded outside the dressing room.

Immediately afterwards, a group of burly men in suits pushed open the door and entered. The one in the lead, who looked like a gorilla, was none other than Matsumoto Sayuri's father, Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

"Little Lily, what's going on?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had returned, strode over, his gaze shifting between his daughter and Takasugi Toshihiko.

It looks like they know some inside information.

At the same time, Luo Tian also received a glance from the policewoman.

It's obvious that the two people were behind this whole thing!

"Dad, I..."

Matsumoto Sayuri looked at her elderly father and struggled with her feelings.

At this moment, she was completely at a loss.

I originally thought I could resolve this feud with my own life, but now I realize that it's not a good choice.

Although he had seen through Toshihiko Takasugi's character, this matter involved his elderly father's past.

She didn't know whether she should say it or not.

Seeing Matsumoto Sayuri's conflicted expression, Luo Tian knew that it was time for him to step in again!

He followed the same method and approached Matsumoto Kiyonaga, handing him the can of lemon tea.

"You're the bride's father, right? Here, have this drink!"

Upon hearing this, both Matsumoto Sayuri and Takasugi Toshihiko's expressions changed!

The former was naturally worried about his elderly father's comfort.

The latter, however, looked over expectantly with a hint of smugness in his eyes.

In his heart, the primary target of his revenge has always been Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

In his view, it was the other party's failure to save his mother that led to her death back then!

However, Matsumoto Kiyoshi was a detective, and a very experienced one at that, and he was strong and powerful, so he simply couldn't find an opportunity to strike.

That's why he turned his revenge on the other party's daughter, Matsumoto Sayuri.

They even comforted themselves with the lame excuse of "causing the other person to lose their loved ones as well."

Now that he suddenly has another chance for revenge, Toshihiko Takasugi is naturally very excited.

"Thank you, little friend!"

Upon seeing Luo Tian's actions, Matsumoto Kiyonaga was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Just as he had described the boy surnamed Luo in great detail before, he also knew something about the cute little boy in front of him.

Without much thought, he took the can of lemon tea.

Seeing this, Toshihiko Takasugi became even more excited, and he was almost urging him to drink it!

Matsumoto Sayuri's expression, however, became somewhat subtle.

As the saying goes, concern can cloud judgment, and she only just remembered that her father was a very experienced criminal investigator.

If even she could detect that the drink had been poisoned, there's no reason why her elderly father couldn't!

Just as she had expected, Matsumoto Kiyonaga noticed something was wrong as soon as she took the can of lemon tea.

In this sweltering heat, why would anyone drink heated lemon tea?

The lemon tea was even bubbling and bubbling like soda.

This is completely wrong!

Is someone trying to harm me?!

Matsumoto Kiyonaga glanced at Luo Tian and naturally ruled out the little boy.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, he couldn't imagine that such a lovely child would commit a crime.

So, the rest... He glanced around the lounge, then dropped the pretense and locked his gaze on Toshihiko Takasugi.

What Matsumoto Sayuri could easily discover with a little investigation, how could her father not know?

This is also why he has always opposed his daughter being with that other person.

However, to some extent, the father and daughter have similar ideas.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga didn't point this out because he felt a bit guilty, thinking that if the other party was after him, then so be it.

But now it seems that's clearly not the case!

He remembered that when he came in, only Luo Tian and his daughter were drinking lemon tea.

The little boy probably didn't have any enemies, so the target of the poisoner was very clear.

"What the hell! Why?!"

The hot-tempered Inspector Matsumoto rushed over and, taking advantage of his burly physique, grabbed Takasugi Toshihiko by the collar.

Why?! Hahahaha!

Instead of showing any fear, Takasugi Toshihiko revealed a sickly smile.

"Have you forgotten? Twenty years ago, you were chasing a criminal in your car, hitting my mother and then refusing to help her! From that moment on, I've never forgotten your heartless face!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.

Unfortunately, due to the height difference, the way he was lifted up by Matsumoto Kiyonaga with his feet off the ground was quite comical.

It's a rather sad thing, but it somehow looks kind of funny.

"So why are you seeking revenge on Sayuri?!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's burly body trembled with rage. If his daughter hadn't been unharmed, he would have punched the other man in the face long ago.

"That's of course for..."

"Of course it's because this uncle looks very capable, right?"

Just as Takasugi Toshihiko was about to give his prepared excuse in response to Matsumoto Kiyonaga's questioning, he was interrupted by a clear voice.

Luo Tian and the little girl squeezed onto a sofa, muttering loudly in a matter-of-fact tone.

"No! I want him to experience the pain of losing a loved one, not because I'm afraid of him!"

As if his secret had been exposed, Takasugi Toshihiko retorted sharply, while glaring fiercely at Luo Tian.

It's all because of this brat!

If it weren't for him, my plan would have succeeded long ago!

Luo Tian naturally ignored this display of impotent rage.

At his instruction, Miwako walked straight over.

"Oh? You've known Miss Sayuri for seven years, why did you choose today to make your move?"

"I... of course I wanted her to die when she was at her happiest!"

"Really? Isn't it because the groom is the least suspicious on this day?"

"What did you say (about the king)?!"
