My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Moreover, now that something has happened, he doesn't even step forward to resolve it, but instead sends his daughter Ran Mouri over. He's also an irresponsible father.

At first, Eri Kisaki wondered if Ichiro Takayanagi was setting a trap to destroy their family and get her, the beautiful woman.

However, Eri Kisaki immediately dismissed this idea.

If someone really orchestrated this, the police will definitely investigate thoroughly.

After all, the victim was a police officer, so the police will pay extra attention to him.

The fact that Ichiro Takayanagi has not received any summons or investigations proves that he is not the person behind it all.

"Miss Mori, everyone has greed; the question is whether they can control it."

When Detective Mouri asked me for a loan, he wanted me to get rich with him, but I refused.

And he was advised that information that others could leak so easily could not possibly be true.

It seems that Detective Mori didn't heed my advice at all.

After Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking, he immediately started working on the computer in front of him, and the office fell silent for a short while.

Chapter 63 Eri Kisaki's Sacrifice and Submission for Her Daughter

Ichiro Takayanagi was not the mastermind behind the scenes. The fact that he was able to persuade Kogoro Mouri when he came to apply for a loan is enough to prove that Ichiro Takayanagi is a man with principles.

However, Kogoro Mouri couldn't control his greed and believed that the information he received from others was absolutely correct, which is why he borrowed 10 million yen from Ichiro Takayanagi to gamble recklessly.

The fact that even a loan shark like Takayanagi Ichiro chose not to enter the market with him already speaks volumes. Unfortunately, Mouri Kogoro couldn't heed other people's advice.

As Ran Mouri's mother, she certainly understands what kind of environment the Mouri Detective Agency is.

Don't even mention ten million yen, he couldn't even come up with one million yen.

The last time his daughter called, it was definitely about Kogoro Mouri not coming home after losing money.

Furthermore, Eri Kisaki believes that Kogoro Mouri has absolutely no solution, because in his current situation, apart from selling the house, there is nothing he can do to repay the loan.

However, Kogoro Mouri made a terrible mistake by letting his daughter Ran Mouri solve the problem.

Ran Mouri is just a high school girl. She's good enough at managing the family's finances. How could she possibly handle a loan of ten million yen?

Eri Kisaki trusts Ichiro Takayanagi quite a bit, but Ran Mouri doesn't trust him as much, even though Ichiro is the kind of person who's easy to talk to after they meet.

When talking to his father before, Kogoro Mouri also mentioned that Ichiro Takayanagi had previously advised him against it.

However, Ran Mouri didn't see any evidence, and she had some doubts in her heart.

"Miss Mori, I have the surveillance video of the conversation from that time. If you're interested, you can come and take a look."

Just as Ichiro Takayanagi extended an invitation to Ran Mouri, he felt as if someone had punched his calf again, leaving Eri Kisaki hiding under her desk.

"Let's leave it at that."

Seeing that Ran Mouri had gotten up from her seat and walked over, Ichiro Takayanagi quickly turned the monitor around and played the surveillance video.

This is also a record of the conversation between Kogoro Mouri and Ichiro Takayanagi when Kogoro Mouri came to borrow money. You can clearly hear that Ichiro Takayanagi was sincerely trying to persuade Kogoro Mouri.

Although Ichiro Takayanagi had already turned the monitor around so that Ran Mouri could see the images and hear the sounds without coming over, Ran Mouri still came over to check it herself.

"President Takayanagi, I'm really sorry that I had some doubts about you before."

Ran Mouri is a very straightforward person. Since she had previously harbored negative suspicions about Ichiro Takayanagi, and now there is evidence to prove that she was wrong, she will naturally apologize to Ichiro Takayanagi.

“This loan is a matter between your father and me, and it shouldn’t be your responsibility, Miss Mori.”

Even if your father doesn't come forward, your mother can.

I'd better discuss a solution with the adults; otherwise, it'll look like I'm bullying a high school girl.

Hearing Ichiro Takayanagi's words, Ran Mouri lowered her head and whispered:

"My mother and father have been separated for ten years, and she has been secretly taking care of us all these years."

But my mother has her own career, and I can't ask her for help every time I encounter a problem, so I want to try to solve it myself.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this, but I still maintain the same attitude as before."

Let your father handle this; you, a high school girl, should focus on your studies.

Moreover, I believe that Detective Mouri's current predicament is only temporary, and he will definitely grow stronger in the future.

Even if the house is mortgaged to me in this incident, I can rent it to you and you can live there. When I make my fortune, I can redeem the house.

Ichiro Takayanagi maintained his previous stance, not wanting Ran Mouri, a high school girl, to get involved, and only wanting to talk to Kogoro Mouri, the person directly involved.

However, Eri knew that her daughter treated everything in the family as her own business.

Now that Kogoro Mouri has lost his sense of responsibility, only Ran Mouri can handle this matter.

So Eri Kisaki gently tapped Ichiro Takayanagi's foot again, not very hard, as if making a request to him.

This time, however, Ichiro Takayanagi didn't indulge Eri Kisaki any longer and placed a hand on her head under the table.

Eri Kisaki was a little confused. What exactly was Ichiro Takayanagi going to do?

Keep in mind that her daughter was standing right outside, not even far away from her.

If Ran Mouri suddenly walked around the computer desk to her seat, she might be able to find Eri Kisaki hiding under the desk.

Eri Kisaki did not give in immediately. Instead, she wrote "daughter" on Ichiro Takayanagi's thigh, indicating that Ran Mouri standing outside was her daughter.

Takayanagi Ichiro was already well aware of this, but now that Kisaki Eri had admitted it herself, it made him even more excited.

So he moved so close to the gap in the desk that he completely blocked Eri Kisaki inside.

Moreover, Ichiro Takayanagi did not let go of her hand, and gently patted Eri Kisaki's head twice.

He indicated that if Eri Kisaki cooperated, there would be something to discuss regarding Ran Mouri's personal visit this time.

This infuriated Eri, who hadn't expected her junior to act so shamelessly at this moment.

But she knew that dragging it out wasn't a solution, and that even Mori might be affected.

So for the sake of his daughter, he had no choice but to give in.

As for that idiot Kogoro Mouri, we must find him later and secretly divorce him; such a person doesn't deserve to be a father.

Having made her decision, Eri Kisaki took action, moving directly towards Ichiro Takayanagi's crotch.

When Takayanagi Ichiro and Kisaki Eri were packing up before, they were rather perfunctory, so there's no need to make any preparations now.

"Thank you for the compliment, President Takayanagi. I know my father quite well; he's nowhere near the level you're describing."

Although praising her father makes her happy, Ran Mouri believes that her father does not deserve such praise.

"President Takayanagi, our firm is an ancestral home passed down from above, so we don't want it to be mortgaged."

I'm here today mainly to discuss a new repayment method with you; I don't mind paying a little more interest.

Ran Mouri revealed the purpose of her visit, causing Ichiro Takayanagi to fall silent.

Chapter 64 Miss Mori, Use Your Body to Pay Off Your Debt

Ran Mouri knew, of course, that her request was a bit excessive, so when she saw Ichiro Takayanagi fall silent, she didn't urge him on.

Since the loan is due, if Kogoro Mouri cannot repay it, he will have to use his ancestral home to pay off the debt.

If Kogoro Mouri doesn't comply, Ichiro Takayanagi could even get a lawyer to help, or even apply for enforcement.

Ran Mouri didn't know how likely it was to succeed, but she still wanted to give it a try.

After all, she had lived in that house for so many years and had developed a deep attachment to it.

Eri Kisaki, who was working under the table, also noticed Ichiro Takayanagi's hesitation.

She thought that Ichiro Takayanagi was trying to take advantage of Ran Mouri, so she lightly bit her lip.

"hiss……"

Eri Kisaki was able to control her strength, but the stimulation still made Ichiro Takayanagi gasp.

"President Takayanagi, are you alright?"

Seeing Takayanagi Ichiro's sudden and unusual behavior surprised even Ran Mouri, but she still asked about his condition.

"Maybe it's because I haven't been back for a long time, and there's an extra female mosquito in this office, so it bit me."

"There's nothing seriously wrong, Miss Mori, you don't need to come over."

The reason for saying the second sentence was to make Eri Naoki think twice.

Just focus on your work and don't mess around.

Ran Mouri was a little confused by what Ichiro Takayanagi said. It was understandable that there were mosquitoes in the office, but why did Ichiro Takayanagi specifically mention female mosquitoes?

Under the table, Eri Kisaki rolled her eyes at Ichiro Takayanagi, but she didn't dare to provoke him any further.

If Ran Mouri were to actually come and check on Ichiro Takayanagi, she would definitely find him hiding under the table.

So Eri Kisaki was working diligently, but she still patted Ichiro Takayanagi's thigh lightly twice, signaling him not to make things too difficult for Ran Mouri.

"Miss Mori, we are all neighbors, so we should have a proper discussion."

"Since Miss Mori says you have control over the family finances, then this time I'll make an exception and speak with someone who isn't directly involved."

Ichiro Takayanagi was willing to give her a chance to talk, which touched Ran Mouri.

"President Takayanagi, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I will repay my father's loan through other means."

Although Ichiro Takayanagi is in the loan sharking business, he still has his own bottom line, and Ran Mouri's opinion of Ichiro Takayanagi is getting higher and higher.

“Miss Mori, since you have this idea, then use yourself to pay off your father’s debt.”

As soon as Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking, he felt as if his equipment had entered a vortex, with a strong suction force.

It was clear that Eri Kisaki was putting in more effort, and the way her teeth were clenched suggested that she might continue to bite Ichiro Takayanagi.

Fortunately, Ichiro Takayanagi immediately reached out and patted Eri Kisaki's head, telling her not to do anything rash.

Eri Kisaki had stopped working at this point, but she didn't spit out the equipment because she wanted to hear Ichiro Takayanagi's explanation.
