Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

"My sister and I had an argument after that."

"Xiangzi!"

"Xiangzi, Xiangzi, Xiangzi, Xiangzi, Xiangzi"

Lin Yuanshan in a wheelchair

Watching the fully immersed character, Mitsuka, crawling in the shadows on the ground,

He kept calling Xiangzi's name as he climbed.

Even someone as abstract as him found this incredibly bizarre.

After finishing the climb, Chu Hua, having completely vented her emotions, stood up nonchalantly, dusted herself off, and continued:

"So after that day, I took some pocket money, took a ferry to Tokyo, used my sister's name, and started my idol activities."

"You probably already know the rest of the story, because I met you while participating in idol activities."

"You must hate me, because you've fallen to this state because you questioned Xiangzi's grandfather on my behalf."

"In other words, I'm the one who took you away from Xiangzi."

"You should hate me."

Lin Yuanshan shook his head upon hearing this.

If you have no objections, I forgive you on behalf of him who was working hard in the rubber plantation.

After shaking his head, he spoke again:

"So, this is your reason for killing me?"

He had already realized that Chu Hua had brought him here with the intention of dying.

Upon hearing this, Chu Hua's eyes welled up with tears.

"Uncle, Xiangzi had already agreed to Dingzhi's request."

"As long as she leaves you and me, she can return to the Toyokawa family and take back everything that belongs to her."

"Isn't that reason enough?!"

A logical genius!

Lin Yuanshan rolled his eyes and said:

"So you mean you're willing to die with me for Xiangzi? Hatsune, calm down, think about your sister, think about your family!"

"They're doing well now! Maybe it would be better for them if I disappeared completely!"

"You may have misunderstood something. Let me tell you what your family means:"

If you kill me, your family is doomed. Even Jesus couldn't save them, I'm telling you!

Triangle Chuhua:

???

So this is what Uncle Qinggao's character is like?

In fact, Lin Yuanshan was lying; he wasn't as ruthless as he claimed.

Lin Yuanshan isn't a devil; he wouldn't harm her family.

Besides, Mitsumi Hatsuka isn't a younger sister, and doesn't have strong muscles, so she can't kill him.

However, her extreme actions would expose his identity.

After all, if he resisted violently, his identity as a patient would be exposed.

Therefore, if his identity had to be exposed, in order to maintain secrecy...

He had no choice but to temporarily imprison Triangle Chuhua in the dark, gloomy little house.

Chu Hua, for your own sake, you must calm down!

I, Lin Yuanshan, am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see pitiful people suffer!

Chapter 21 Too Much Work

"No, Uncle, you're definitely threatening me! You've already been kicked out of the Toyokawa family, why would anyone care whether you live or die!"

Misaka Chuka's voice sounded more like she was trying to convince herself.

So Xiangzi isn't a living person?

Lin Yuanshan, in his wheelchair, wanted to complain like this, but he knew that bringing up Xiangzi at this moment would only backfire.

"Think about it carefully, Chuhua."

Lin Yuanshan's voice calmed down. He no longer concealed himself, and the chaotic aura of a master criminal emanated from his bandaged body.

"As the adopted son-in-law of the Toyokawa family, am I really as incompetent as you see me?"

In the eyes of Mitsuka (to avoid confusion, the older sister will be referred to as Mitsuka and the younger sister as Hatsune Miku below),

In the setting sun, the figure of the man before me seemed to blend into the dim twilight of this demonic time, becoming sinister and terrifying.

An aura like that of a villainous savior emanated from him.

"Could it be! Uncle, you...!"

Chu Hua stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Lin Yuanshan, the bandaged man, nodded slowly.

"That's right, the Toyokawa family is far darker than you imagine."

“I am nominally a weak adopted son-in-law, and I am manipulated by Dingzhi.”

"But this is only the image I present to the public."

His voice was full of stories.

"In reality, I was in charge of the Toyokawa family's most shady businesses. It was precisely because Sadaharu sensed the threat I posed that he had no choice but to exile me."

"But this is just a strategic retreat for me."

"As the young master of Fengchuan, the future Donggong Qianlong, do you think that a mere debt problem can drive me out of the family?"

"Money is just a trivial amount to us."

"Chu Hua, I'm playing a grand game."

Lin Yuanshan changed the subject, deliberately adopting a casual tone, as if he were playing with a child.

"If you don't believe me, I can even tell you your sister's usual bra size."

As Lin Yuanshan spoke, he announced a number that horrified Sanjiao Chuhua.

"Thum! Thug! Thumb!"

Startled by the string of numbers, she stumbled back three steps, her back slamming heavily against the water tank with a dull thud.

This guy is serious!

He didn't lie!

At first glance, "Xiang's father" is behaving like a perverted madman with no bottom line.

But if you only see this one layer, then you're being too naive!

To be able to accurately determine the private measurements of a strange high school girl on a remote island—that represents an incredibly terrifying intelligence capability!

This capability inevitably relies on a vast amount of human and financial resources!

It can't be that the younger sister, who lives far away on a small island, suddenly appears in Tokyo and runs up to Sho's father to tell him her size, can it?

Even Keigo Higashino couldn't have come up with such an outrageous story!

Therefore, there is only one answer.

This man is an unfathomable monster!

"So, targeting me is not a good idea."

Seeing her pale face, Lin Yuanshan knew he had successfully fooled her and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hatsune Miku's size was determined by herself, at a celebration party after a performance.

Mortis felt inferior for a long time because of this incident.

"So... Uncle, you've been lying to Xiangzi from beginning to end?"

Having "seen everything," Mitsukasa finds it hard to accept this cruel and dark truth.

Lin Yuanshan said calmly:

"This is a sacrifice that must be made to fight against the darkness of the Toyokawa family."

"You must believe me, as Xiangzi's closest relative, I would never harm her."

"But doing this step alone is not enough."

His gaze became intense.

"In order to completely defeat Sadaharu, Hatsuka, I also need your strength. All of this is for Shoko."

Upon hearing this, Misaka Chuka's eyes dimmed, and she murmured dejectedly:

"But I have nothing left now, what can I do to help Xiangzi?"

"That's not the case, Chu Hua."

Lin Yuanshan shook his head.

"Don't you still have your own life?"

Hospital ward.

Chu Hua, who had decided to give her life for Xiangzi, finally gave up her suicidal thoughts.

As Xiang's father said, she could be used to threaten Dingzhi while she was alive, and if necessary, she could go on stage to accuse him or threaten suicide.

In short, there are many ways to play.

There's no need to end your life so easily right now.

But then again...

Was Xiangzi really born to Xiang's father?

The father is such a monster, yet his daughter has an angelic personality.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now."

As Chu Hua spoke, she very naturally picked up the fruit basket she had brought and turned to leave.

But when she tried to lift it, she couldn't move it.

A bandaged hand pressed down on the fruit basket.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Yuanshan asked,

"Wasn't this fruit brought for me to eat? Was it poisoned?"

"Hehe, Uncle, these fruits aren't very fresh anymore. I'll go buy you a fresh basket."

Chu Hua wore a stiff smile and suddenly pulled hard with her hand.

The fruit basket shuddered violently, and a small bottle of chili water gurgled out from the gap.

Lin Yuanshan glanced at the bottle of pepper spray, then looked up at Chu Hua.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Chu Hua broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained:

"As an idol, it's reasonable for him to carry a bottle of pepper spray to avoid being followed by obsessive fans, right?"

Taking advantage of Lin Yuanshan's momentary distraction, she yanked the fruit basket again.

Still couldn't pull it out.

Instead, another black strip rolled out and landed on the ground with a "thud".
