"Hey, Brother Lantian, something bad has happened. Come to Xiaolan's house quickly. I'll be waiting for you here...!"

Suzuki Sonoko sounded very anxious on the other end of the phone, and then she hung up the phone directly, as if something very urgent had happened and she had to hang up quickly.

Hua Lantian on the other end of the phone looked at the phone in his hand with a confused look on his face. He had just woken up and was then flustered by the sudden call. After all, few people called him at this time.

However, since Sonoko called him at this time and seemed very anxious, he decided to get up immediately and go out to check it out, regardless of whether Sonoko was joking with him or not.

Hua Lantian quickly tidied himself up, his movements skillful and agile, as if he was already accustomed to this hurried pace. He put on a simple and comfortable set of casual clothes. Although it was just casual clothing, it still couldn't hide the unique charm and handsomeness that emanated from him.

(After all, I was on a mission at the winery before, so it’s impossible for me to go to the Ginger Bar every day???)

He rushed out of the house impatiently, eager to know what had happened. He jumped into his beloved car, the Silver Thorn II, and without hesitation stepped on the accelerator. The car sped out like an arrow from a string, rushing towards its destination, the Maori Detective Agency.

It is worth mentioning that some people may be curious why Hua Lantian has not delivered food to the poor single Dr. Wang who has no Xiao Ai to take care of him for a long time?

In fact, the reason is very simple. Since he had two capable and trustworthy subordinates, he handed this task over to them.

After all, the doctor can't wake up late every day just to wait for him to bring breakfast. This arrangement is convenient for everyone and allows the doctor to live a normal life.

Of course, our two capable subordinates, Morobushi Kagemitsu and Asanari Shigemi, have no say, ╮(─▽─)╭ But they are also willing to take care of Dr. Agasa, and after getting along with him for so long, they found that the doctor is indeed a very good person.

Back to Hua Lantian, his series of actions almost attracted the tiger of the traffic class - Yumi Miyamoto.

"You kid! I think you did it on purpose?" Yumi Miyamoto said gritting her teeth.

"How is that possible, Sister Yumi, I just want to test the performance of this car~" Hua Lantian said innocently.

"Hmph! You'd better be like this! If I find out that you have other intentions, I'll arrest you!" Miyamoto Yumi glared at Hua Lantian fiercely, turned and left.

Hua Lantian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thanking himself: "Fortunately, she didn't catch me..."

But now he has driven the car to the downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency. He slowly stopped the car, then gently closed the car door and walked carefully to the door of the Maori Detective Agency.

After all, he didn't know what had happened, so he didn't want to alert the enemy. If he acted in a hurry, it would give people the impression that he must have known something.

"Knock knock knock...! Is anyone there...?" Hua Lantian knocked on the door of Maori Detective Agency as usual, and then asked.

"Ah, Xiaolan, look at what I said, Brother Lantian is here...!" The voice that came from inside was not Xiaolan or other people who usually responded to her, but Suzuki Sonoko's excited and confident voice.

"Yes, yes, Sonoko, you are the one who can predict the future, okay...!" Xiaolan responded helplessly to her best friend, and got up to open the door.

Sometimes she actually couldn't understand why her best friend, who was one of the heirs to Japan's leading Suzuki Group, was so noisy and careless.

However, she had to admit that Yuanzi really did not have the airs of a young lady, and it was very comfortable to get along with her.

"Kacha...! Welcome, Brother Lantian...!"

"Hello, Ran, please tell me...! What happened? Why did Sonoko call me over so anxiously? Why is it...?"

Hua Lantian heard their conversation and guessed that it was probably not a matter of life and death, but probably something more ordinary.

"Um, Brother Lantian, I think you should just let Yuanzi talk to you herself...! I won't get involved, ahahaha, hahaha...!"

When Xiaolan was asked, she suddenly felt embarrassed, and it really had nothing to do with her, so she quickly pulled out Sonoko, the person who was looking for trouble.

"Oh, okay, then Sonoko, could you please tell me what's going on...?"

Seeing that he could not get any information from Xiaolan, and that Xiaolan probably had little to do with this matter, Hua Lantian went straight to find the "culprit" who called him over - Suzuki Sonoko.

Yuanzi realized that she couldn't keep the secret any longer, so she walked over to Hua Lantian, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Oh, Brother Lantian, actually, the third son of the Tozawa Group seems to have taken a fancy to my sister recently and is pursuing her intensely, but...my sister doesn't seem to be very interested in him...!"

As Yuanzi was talking, she was about to keep the secret, but when she met Hua Lantian's sharp eyes, which had turned serious, she turned her head away and continued quickly:

"And I don't know where he got it from, but he said my sister was very interested in you and seemed to like you. The thing is, you don't know... my sister didn't even refute it...!"

"Really? Sonoko...? Ayako seems interested in me and even likes me...!"

Hua Lantian grasped what he thought was the key point, quickly grabbed Yuanzi's shoulders, shook her hard, and then asked.

"I just said it seems, it seems, Brother Lantian, please stop shaking me. I'm going to feel dizzy if you keep shaking me... Can you let me finish what I'm saying before you say hello...?"

Yuanzi's eyes were a little dizzy. After all, the strength that Hua Lantian exerted without intentional control was not something that ordinary people could withstand, she said helplessly.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, Sonoko, I won't shake it anymore, you keep talking...!"

Hua Lantian quickly let go of his hand and apologized sincerely. After all, he also wanted to know the truth as soon as possible.

"Well, then this incident caught the attention of our two families. I didn't mention it before, but our families have been friends for generations, so everyone knows each other. When something like this happens, naturally everyone knows about it...!"

"So, to ensure this marriage doesn't get ruined and to see who is my sister's true Prince Charming, we've all decided to go to our family's villa on the private beach in Izu tomorrow and have a showdown...!"

Sonoko finally finished telling everything.

At this time, Conan, who had been watching the show silently, suddenly said: "Sister Sonoko, according to what you said, such an important matter should not be announced earlier, why is it announced today for something that will happen tomorrow..."

"What do you know, little brat...!" Sonoko immediately got angry, like a child who was caught doing something wrong.

"Yes, Sonoko...this is really a bit strange...!" Xiaolan also asked.

Seeing that her bestie asked this question, and Hua Lantian also showed great curiosity, Yuanzi could only stammer and embarrassedly tell the truth.

"Ahahaha, because I was too busy the past few days, I accidentally forgot, ahaha... Sorry, Brother Lantian...!"

“Sonoko…!!”

……

The next day, on a beach on the Izu Peninsula, although there were not as many people as before, Hua Lantian and Conan Tongxie still lay under the lounge chairs as usual, and this time they added a parasol.

"Hey, Lan Tian, ​​do you really like Sonoko's sister, Ayako? And you're going to have a showdown with one of the so-called heirs of the Tozawa Group...?"

Conan tilted his head and looked at Hua Lantian through his sunglasses and asked.

"Of course, you're still too young, so you can't see it. Besides, you have a childhood sweetheart, so you don't understand the suffering of the rest of us...!"

Hua Lantian looked at Lantian and said helplessly. After all, the drum washing machine itself is a straight man. At the beginning, it did not understand emotions very well, and was a bit arrogant. Later, when it became small, it moved directly to Bengbu and turned into the "Jealous King of East Asia".

"Alright, alright, you can do whatever you want. I'm going to rest for a while. It's a rare chance to lie down...!"

Conan realized that Hua Lantian was serious, and he didn't want to get involved too much, otherwise Hua Lantian would cause trouble for him.

Just then, a man with a slightly dark complexion approached with a confident stride. He whistled frivolously, a hint of an uninhibited smile playing on his lips. This action caught everyone's attention, but also made people feel a little frivolous.

"This gentleman looks familiar!" the man said with a smile, but his eyes were full of malicious scrutiny.

Hearing this, Hua Lantian couldn't help but frown, and felt disgusted with this person. He realized that the person in front of him was Tomizawa Yuzo in the original play, Suzuki Ayako's fiancé.

Thinking of this, Hua Lantian took a deep breath, then slowly got up from the ground with a smile on his face and determination and confidence in his eyes.

Then, he politely bowed slightly to Tomizawa Yuzo and said in a gentle and steady tone, "Sir, you must be Mr. Tomizawa Yuzo, one of the heirs of the Tomizawa Group. I have long heard of your name..."

Hearing Hua Lantian's words, Tomizawa Yuzo was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He carefully looked at the strange man in front of him, secretly surprised by his appearance and temperament.

Hua Lantian was tall and straight, handsome, with a pair of deep eyes that sparkled with wisdom. He exuded a unique charm that made people fall in love with him.

Tomizawa Yuzo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and responded: "Ah, yes, I am Tomizawa Yuzo. I guess you should be the legendary Hua Lantian, my current competitor..."

"That's right, Mr. Tomizawa, I'll put it simply and clearly. I don't think you're worthy of Ayako. I know you, an illustrator, not a famous one. I won't bully you. Let's compete fairly. Let's compete in the field you're best at. What do you think...!"

Hua Lantian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, his eyes revealing a kind of determination and confidence. He slowly approached Tomizawa Yuzo, each step carrying a sense of oppression.

Tomizawa Yuzo watched Hua Lantian approaching step by step, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but he remained calm. He knew that he couldn't be intimidated by the other party's momentum and had to stick to his position.

So, he straightened up, looked Hua Lantian in the eye with determination, and replied, "Okay, since you are so confident, let's have a fair fight!"

Hua Lantian smiled, a sly glint in his eyes. He knew that Tomizawa Yuzo had accepted the challenge, and now it was time to show his strength.

He took a deep breath and prepared himself for the competition. Tomizawa Yuzo secretly clenched his fists, telling himself that he must give it his all and not lose to him.

The entire scene was filled with tension and anticipation, as if time had frozen. The two men stood there, facing each other, neither making the first move. Each awaited the perfect moment, ready to deliver the fatal blow.

But who knew that with just a little study, Hua Lantian could reach a realm that many others couldn't reach. After all, his spiritual power was the sum of two lifetimes. Furthermore, Hua Lantian was also interested in painting, so Tomizawa Yuzo really fell for it this time.

"Wow, this is going to be a big show, Xiaolan, wait for me, I'll go call my sister over right away...!"

Sonoko shouted excitedly, then hurriedly put on her shoes and ran out from the beach to the Suzuki family's villa. She wanted to call Suzuki Ayako because she felt that this scene must not be missed and must be seen by her sister.

The sight of the two men fighting for a woman made Suzuki Sonoko's blood boil. She loved watching such exciting scenes, so she couldn't wait to witness this moment.

"Yuanzi, could you please bring all the painting supplies from our villa so we can have a competition...!"

Tomizawa Yuzo quickly shouted to Sonoko, who was already walking away. He knew that without painting supplies, they couldn't have the competition. And the only place to find them was his family's villa.

Not long after, Suzuki Ayako and Suzuki Sonoko came over, holding their painting supplies. Behind them, an angry and aggressive old man followed.

This old man was none other than Tetsuji Tozawa, the head of the Tozawa Group and the father of Yuzo Tozawa. He was filled with rage because his youngest son had, without his permission, agreed to this fateful undertaking that could change the fate of both conglomerates.

However, Hua Lantian did not directly hit the angry old man in the face. He pulled Tetsuji Tomizawa aside and said something. Tetsuji Tomizawa's expression changed immediately, but as he had been in a high position for a long time, he quickly stabilized his emotions, and then stood aside silently, watching Hua Lantian and Tomizawa Yuzo compete.

No one knew what he heard, but later Tetsuji Tozawa announced that the foundation would be divided equally among three people, which caused an uproar in the outside world.

Let’s continue talking about the result of the competition. Of course, Hua Lantian defeated Tomizawa Yuzo with overwhelming strength, and he said something that made Suzuki Ayako decide to marry him on the spot.

In the end, Tomizawa Yuzo left miserably, and Suzuki Ayako looked at her future husband with love...
