Seika Matsumoto quietly locked the CD in a drawer in the office, hoping that one day it could be used as evidence against Hikaru Ogata. She has been insisting on going to work normally, taking her work even more seriously and enthusiastically than before, contacting more people, handling more things, making herself look busy and full, in an attempt to interfere with Hikaru Ogata's monitoring of her.

The old classmate left her some information about Ogata Corp. enterprise on the Internet, about the time when Ogata Corp. was established, its development experience, the main industries involved, and Hikaru Ogata personal information that is rarely known to the outside world. To Seika Matsumoto's surprise, Hikaru Ogata actually existed. He was born in this city and had a very complete growth track. No wonder Officer Kane once said with certainty that he was not Kim Song.

The only suspicious thing is that this person went abroad three years ago and just came back at the beginning of this year. Seika Matsumoto looked at the message on the phone and frowned. This seemed like a good place to start. However, Kim Song was still in prison three years ago and had not yet been executed. How could he go abroad?

She couldn't figure it out.

As for Takeru Ogata, he was Hikaru Ogata's cousin. It was rumored that the relationship between the two had always been very good, and they could be regarded as brothers and sisters, which was quite different from what Seika Matsumoto saw with her own eyes in the clubhouse.

This is one of the doubts, and maybe even the best entry point for the whole thing.

She sketched silently on the paper, and finally stuffed the paper into the shredder silently.

The professor of the School of Management had already written back to her, and she immediately contacted Reiner, telling him to come over for an interview. Near noon, Reiner called her back and said that the professor was very satisfied with him and had decided to hire him as a translation assistant with a good salary. Seika Matsumoto was also happy for him, and said with a casual smile: "Remember to treat me to dinner after receiving the salary."

Reiner seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said, "How about inviting you now, do you have time at noon?"

Seika Matsumoto has time, but she can't ask the students to invite her to dinner. She smiled and refused directly: "Let's save your little money. You work so hard to earn money. Teacher, can I have the nerve to ask you to pay?"

"Is it okay to go to the school cafeteria?"Reiner asked her, and then said: "Just go to the Xuesan cafeteria that is closest to you. I'll take you downstairs soon."

The child was so persistent that Seika Matsumoto was surprised, she frowned unknowingly, and was thinking about how to reject him, when Reiner said hesitantly: "Mr. "

"Reiner!" She reacted very quickly, and immediately stopped his words, and her voice cooled down, "I am your teacher, and I help you only because you are my student, if you still want to say something boring to me , then please shut up."

"Teacher He..."Reiner must have been frightened by her reaction, and was so nervous that he opened his mouth and said, "I, I."

Seika Matsumoto didn't give him another chance to speak, she immediately hung up the phone, threw the phone on the table, and ran out quickly. When she rushed downstairs, Reiner was indeed parked on the side of the road on his bicycle, holding his mobile phone in his hand, as if he was calling someone.

She almost fell from the sky, and he was shocked for a moment, holding his mobile phone and looking at her in astonishment, "He, Teacher He..."

She stepped forward and snatched his mobile phone, pressed the button to cancel the call, thought for a while, and edited a short message to her mobile phone: Teacher He, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, please you forgive. However, I still have to say, I like you, and I don't think it's a mistake.

She avoided Reiner and sent the text message, then quickly deleted the record, and then returned the phone to him, "What do you want to tell me? Is it about Jia?"

Reiner was still a little unresponsive, looked at her and nodded in a daze, and asked timidly: "Mr. He, what happened to you just now? Are you upset? I don't mean anything else, just, just... I want to treat you to a meal Fan, you introduced me to a very good job, and I am very grateful to you."

"Ah, I misunderstood that, I'm sorry."Seika Matsumoto quickly took advantage of the slope to look at the time, and said: "You wait for me here, I'll go back and get my phone, we'll go to the restaurant for dinner later, I invite you, It’s the teacher’s apology to you.”

Reiner was confused by her moodiness, and replied foolishly: "Okay."

Seika Matsumoto ran upstairs to get her mobile phone, first opened and deleted the unread message, then went downstairs with her mobile phone as if nothing had happened, and went to the school cafeteria for dinner with Reiner. It was still early, and there were not many people in the cafeteria. She swiped her employee card and ordered two set meals. She found a side table and sat down. While eating, she asked Xu Chengbo, "What do you want to say? What's wrong with Wulan?"

Reiner hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Mr. He, Wulan didn't go abroad for recuperation. I saw her again in Nanzhao."

Seika Matsumoto froze for a moment, the spoon stopped in mid-air for a few seconds, then continued to pass it to her mouth, slowly ate the meal, and then asked, "Oh? Where is it?"

Reiner looked up at Seika Matsumoto, tried his best to organize his words, but his words were still not fluent, "I used to work as a waiter in a nightclub for a few days, and I met Yu Jia once. I went there to inquire about her two days ago, They said that they saw her recently, but they stopped working there and changed to a higher-level place called Yakuza Club."

It was the clubhouse that Hikaru Ogata took her to that night, it should be his territory, so everything seemed to be in order. Seika Matsumoto face was still calm, she nodded slowly: "Well, I believe you."

"So, so Mr. Fu is lying."Reiner said eagerly.

Seika Matsumoto asked again: "And then?"

He was speechless, not knowing what else to say next.

Seika Matsumoto was conflicted in her heart, she could see that this boy was kind to her, but the more he was like this, the less she could drag him into this matter. This is too dangerous. Once Hikaru Ogata is alarmed, the child in front of him may face death. She can't be so selfish, especially for those who are dedicated to her.

She had no choice but to use indifference to hit Reiner's kindness, and frowned: "Reiner, let me tell you again, don't worry about Wulan's affairs, and don't mention it to me in the future, no matter whether it's on the phone or in person, don't do it again." Mention. As for whether Mr. Fu lied, this is not something you should worry about. "

The light in Reiner eyes gradually went out, and finally he lowered his eyelids, and replied softly: "I'm sorry, Mr. He, I was meddling in my own business."

Looking at the big boy who couldn't hide his depression in front of her, Seika Matsumoto really wanted to tell him that he didn't meddle in his own business, his words were very helpful to her, and she was very grateful to him... But in the end, she still didn't say anything, just lowered her head Head to eat in silence.

On the weekend, Seika Matsumoto went to the brand counter in the shopping center by herself, and bought a similar style of Kak Yui's coat, then called Kak Yui to ask for her address, and said: "I should have given it to you earlier." You sent it over, but you haven't been able to make room in the past few days."

Kak Yui was both surprised and delighted when she received the call, and hurriedly said: "You are too polite, what else can I give you? I can just go to your place and get it. I am so idle right now."

Seika Matsumoto thought for a while, and took a compromise, "Well, I'm going outside now, if you have time, I'll treat you to a lunch at noon, I really appreciate what happened last time."

Kak Yui quickly responded, "Okay, there is no problem with eating."

The two made an appointment to meet, and Kak Yui hung up the phone and hurriedly got up from the bed, knocked on the door of the next door naked, and shouted: "Naira, Naira, hurry up, don't hold up the dead body for the old lady!" gone."

After three to five minutes, the door opened, and a beautiful girl who was asleep was standing at the door, yawning non-stop, and lazily complaining: "Kak Yui, what time is it? Don't call!" We are all asleep, we are all night shift workers, and we do manual work, do we want to die? There is no union for bullying our lady, right?"

"I am your union!"Kak Yui stretched out her hand and patted the face of the competent general, then shook her shoulder and asked, "You are the most educated under Kak Yui Kak Yui , please tell me about your culture!" What do people like, what do they like to talk about when they are talking nonsense?"

Naira wondered: "Kak Yui, are you going to be a good man?"

"Good from you! If it weren't for your incompetence, would I be able to kneel down and lick others?"Kak Yui scolded, seeing Naira slender hand covering her mouth with an artificially surprised expression, and scolded again: "Don't take this stupid How to deal with my old lady, you treat me as Kak Yui and I as your benefactors?"

Naira had no choice but to return to normal, and said rather helplessly: "Kak Yui, you don't explain everything clearly, how can I give you advice? The category of cultural people is very big, there are those who are arrogant, and there are fake models. Fake ones, and gentle scumbags, I know which one you are going to kneel and lick? You think he is incompetent, which one of your distinguished guests do you think I have not coaxed you?"

"Where's Mr. Fu? Mr. Fu, have you coaxed me well?"Kak Yui hit the nail on the head.

Naira choked for a moment, and couldn't help rolling his big eyes, "Kak Yui, can we not mention that person? I think the ability to survive from him depends on burning incense in his previous life."

"Tch, just admit that you have no skills."Kak Yui curled her lips and smiled, and couldn't help telling Naira what happened in the clubhouse that day, "It's already a miracle to make Mr. Fu angry in public, the important thing is Later, it was clear that he rushed away in anger, but when he called, he didn't apologize, didn't give in, and didn't even say a word of kindness. Mr. Fu insisted on calling him home again, and he was willing to let him go after a hard fight. .”

Naira also heard about the first half, but she didn't know the second half, she was a little dumbfounded, and sighed: "This is really a strange woman!"

"Absolutely amazing woman! I heard that she is a teacher. I heard Kak Ji called her Teacher He." Seeing that time was running out, Kak Yui Hua couldn't care less to talk to her, and only asked a few more questions about the hobbies of cultural people. Then he hurried out the door.

They met at a restaurant with a distinctive flavor. When Kak Yui rushed over, Seika Matsumoto was already waiting for her. When they met, she handed her the pocket and explained: "I really can't find the original version. I know your preference too well, so I just bought a similar one like the previous one, do you see if it fits? The receipts are all in the pocket, and if you don’t like it, you can go back and exchange it.”

Just looking at the pockets, you can tell that the new one is worth a lot, and it is much better than the old one. Although Kak Yui is not short of this little money, she also likes that the other party is thoughtful and polite, especially when the other party is someone close to Hikaru Ogata. She didn't even take a look at the dress, she just smiled and said: "I believe Miss He's vision is definitely better than my previous one!"

Seika Matsumoto smiled unconsciously, "Kak Yui is easy-going and easy-going."

One has an intention to cling to, the other has ulterior motives, and the two of them have a very happy chat. Seika Matsumoto intends to lure Hikaru Ogata into the bait from Kak Yui , but she is afraid of acting too hastily, so she can only patiently talk to her about some irrelevant topics, but Kak Yui can't help but test her first: "You and Mr. Fu... are fine. right?"

Seika Matsumoto was silent for a moment, and then softly replied: "Because of Fu Shao's incident, he was a bit irritated, but it's okay, it will pass sooner or later."

Kak Yui responded when she heard the words: "Young Master Fu is a bit quarrelsome, Miss He, don't take it too seriously, Mr. Fu scolded him like that, and you will know the severity when he sees you in the future."

Seika Matsumoto laughed at herself, and said: "Kak Yui, no matter what, they are two brothers, broken bones and connected muscles, I am an outsider."

"That's not true!"Kak Yui waved her hands carelessly, "Don't listen to what men say about 'brothers are like brothers and feet, women are like clothes', this is a lie, and they dare not say it behind. It goes like this: Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, if you wear my clothes, I will cut off your brothers and feet, and if you cut off my brothers and feet, I will wear your clothes!"

She spoke so humorously that Seika Matsumoto couldn't help laughing, and said, "Tell Hikaru Ogata this later and see how he reacts."

Kak Yui was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Don't! Mr. Fu will cut off my limbs by then!"

Seika Matsumoto smiled cooperatively, put down Takeru Ogata on purpose, and said casually: "By the way, Kak Yui, I would like to trouble you for your help. Someone asked me to find someone. You have a wide range of people, and you know a lot of people." Many, I don’t know if you can help me pay attention.”

Looking at Kak Yui's circle, the person she can ask her to find is either a client or a young lady. Kak Yui is also a smart person. Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Seika Matsumoto handed her the photo of Wulan that she had found beforehand, "This is the girl, the family has been unable to contact her, please ask me to find her."
