Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 348 The Appointment with Xing Yuanchun's Father

"Sorry, you have the wrong person." Arakawa said calmly, "I don't know your daughter. If your daughter is lost, I suggest you go to the Metropolitan Police Department to report the crime."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Father?

Abandoning his wife and daughter, he has completely failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father. Does such a person deserve to be called a father?
Back at the dining table, Nozomi Arakawa picked up his chopsticks when the phone rang again.

"It's okay, I'll pick it up."

He glanced at Xing Yuanchun who was eating obediently, then went to the foyer to answer the phone.

"This is the mansion of the Qianyue family. If you continue to harass me like this, I will call the police."

"I have photos taken when my daughter entered this mansion." The other said, "I have evidence, sir, who do you think the police will believe?"

Arakawa was silent for a moment.

The Japanese like to call the police very much, and the party who has done something wrong is also very afraid of the police.

Although I don’t know whether what the other person said is true or false, once the matter goes to the police and the other party has photos as evidence, it will be troublesome. After all, I am completely unreasonable.

"Come back, please," he said.

"Is this okay? People in the Qianyue family are abducting children. Once such news is published in newspapers or news, it will also have an impact on the family business, right?"

"You only want people?" Arakawa Wang said and turned on the recording function of the phone.

Just pretend that the other party really has a photo. Taking a child away without the consent of the guardian is considered abduction in Japan.

Qianyue Enterprise has strong assets. From Xing Yuanchun's father's behavior of escaping from debts, we can roughly guess his personality. He should not let go of this rare blackmail opportunity.Otherwise, he could just go to the police and take his daughter back from Qianyue's house.

As long as the other party asks for some damages or compensation, then he will fall into the trap set by Nozomi Arakawa.

"It's inconvenient to talk on the phone, how about meeting in person?" The other party said, "It's at the barbecue restaurant in the third district of Shishicho."

"……time?"

"How about eight o'clock in the evening?"

"can."

After hanging up the phone, Arakawa returned to his seat.

The other party was very cautious and did not give him the opportunity to record, but chose to talk face to face in another place, but it was okay.

When he got there, he was still able to record the conversation with something like a voice recorder.

"Arakawa-kun, your complexion looks a little bad." Qiuyue said, "Is it because of stomach discomfort?"

"It's nothing, I just failed the make-up exam." Nozomi Arakawa continued to eat.

Wu Yi Yizhi at the side couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Qiu Xue turned her head, her eagle-like sharp eyes fixed on Wu Yi Yizhi.

"what's so funny?"

"No, nothing."

Wu Yi Yizhi resumed her dignified expression and continued eating.

After the meal, Arakawa found Qiuxue in the living room.

"Qiu Xue, can you come with me?"

Qiu Xue naturally did not refuse, and followed Arakawa Wang to the corridor on the third floor.

It is relatively quiet here, because the maids have just cleaned up, and no one will come for the time being.

"Brother, what's the matter, what's the matter with calling me here?" Qiu Xue played with her long hair hanging down her chest, "For the make-up exam... you want me to teach you your homework?"

"No, it's just a pop quiz. I passed it a long time ago."

Arakawa hoped that this was not a lie, relying on the thigh of the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, he successfully escaped.

"why?"

Nozomi Arakawa checked the surrounding situation and made sure Qiuye and the others were on the second floor, then said, "Just now, Xingyuan Haru's father called."

"Xiaochun's father?" Qiu Xue was stunned.

During this period of time, she has taken care of Xing Yuanchun's life, and Qiu Ye will pick up Xing Yuanchun to school every day, and the little girl is almost used to the life here... I didn't expect her father at this time But he came to the door.

"It seems that I want to take Xiaochun back..." Qiu Xue thought for a while, "What do you think, brother?"

"Haven't you heard that that guy abandoned his wife and daughter, causing the mother and daughter to be harassed by debt collectors all day long, and in the end Xiaochun's mother was beaten to death by the gangsters... This guy is an out-and-out person Scum."

"Of course I know this, so I want to ask your opinion. If it were me, I wouldn't hand over the child."

"Then there is nothing to say, I have the same opinion as you." Nozomi Arakawa said, "It's just that that guy may have a photo of Xiaochun entering Qianyue's mansion in his hand. If things get serious, it will definitely be bad for us. It is illegal to bring home my daughter, who is still a minor.”

"What are you going to do, brother?"

"The other party asked me to meet at eight o'clock tonight. Let's see what happens then."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I'll do it alone." Arakawa Wang said, "You can find time to talk to Qiuyue and the others about this matter. Although it's a bit strange to say this, you must never let Xing Yuanchun meet her father... For the sake of that child. Although she cannot be given paternal love here, it is still much safer than having her by the side of a scumbag father."

"I heard that Xiaochun's father owed a lot of debts, maybe he came here for money?" Qiu Xue thought.

"If that's the case..." Arakawa Wang said quietly.

After all, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

If a matter reaches the point where even money can't solve it, then the problem is serious.

... * ...

On the weekend night, at eight o'clock sharp, Arakawa Momo came to Shishichocho, and found a barbecue restaurant in the third district as Xing Yuanchun's father said.

Walking into the store, Nozomi Arakawa found the other party easily.

In Japan, eating yakiniku is usually done with friends or colleagues, and eating alone is very rare.

However, in the corner by the window, sat a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with gold-rimmed eyes.

He was alone, looking at the watch on his wrist from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone
It seems that this person is Xing Yuanchun's father.

Nozomi Arakawa walked straight over, sat down opposite him, and ordered a fruit drink.

"Are you Xing Yuanchun's father?" He asked straight to the point.

The man froze for a moment when he saw Nozomi Arakawa, he probably didn't expect such a young man to come.

"The head of Qianyue's family has something to do, so he entrusted me to come." Arakawa Wang said.

The man stretched out his hand: "Ah, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me. My name is Anzuzono Daisuke."

He was dressed very formally tonight, but the person he didn't expect to arrive was a high school student, which surprised him.

But you can't despise the other party just because he is a child, this can better show his sincerity.

But Nozomi Arakawa didn't respond, the man hesitated for a while, then retracted his hand.

"Let's order first. Do you want roast beef or pork? I heard from the clerk that the beef here is very tender."

"I've had dinner, I guess we should get straight to the point?" Nozomi Arakawa played with the straw of the fruit drink.

"That's fine." Daisuke Xingyuan smiled awkwardly.

"Then I'll get straight to the point, do you really have photos?" Nozomi Arakawa asked.

"of course."

As he said that, Daisuke Xingyuan took out a yellow paper bag from his handbag. He just zipped up the handbag, but found that the paper bag in his hand was gone.

In panic, he looked up and saw that Nozomi Arakawa had already opened the paper bag and took out the photo.
