Listening to Shinohara Ryo's detailed explanation, Xinran's gaze was fixed on the eagle beak in the distance. She recalled that the Eagle Beak Badge of Cherry Blossom Hall's Young Master was made of diamond, which meant that Mu Shaosi was indeed the Young Master of Cherry Blossom Hall. The badge he wore on his chest during the day was diamond as well... Had she underestimated him too much? Or had he hidden himself too deeply? It turned out he was not only Augus's brother and the mysterious president of Qingtian Group but also Japan's Number One Yakuza's Young Master. Was it fortunate or unfortunate for her to have gotten involved with someone like him?
"I know you must be curious about how I know so much about the Underworld. It's actually because the chief shareholder of Zhen's Flying Group is a senior executive from Cherry Blossom Hall, which is why I have such detailed knowledge..." What Shinohara Ryo didn't mention was that she also possessed a badge, a silver badge, as she was the gatekeeper of Cherry Blossom Hall's Wave Gate.
Now, she was ordered to stay close to the woman that Young Master Si wanted to capture. Her identity remained a secret, and one day when she appeared before Summer with her badge, everything would be revealed.
"Miss Shinohara, I want to go back," Xinran suddenly shifted her gaze and said lightly to Shinohara Ryo.
"Weren't you moved by what I said? Why come here only to leave without going in?" The licensed establishment at Rokuchinmachi, Ires, was the nightclub Young Master Si frequented most. He had a private room there where he often conducted business with various gatekeepers and took breaks. Of course, Shinohara Ryo brought Summer here with Young Master Si's tacit approval, and she was more than willing to act as the intermediary. She loved watching drama unfold, and she could hardly wait for the sparks between Summer and Young Master Si. How could she allow the main character to exit before the show even started?
"Miss Shinohara, the chief shareholder of Flying Group is Cherry Blossom Hall's Young Master, right? I don't think I've mentioned that the person I don't want to see is him. So do you still want to persuade me to go in and get drunk? As you said, the sign hanging with the eagle beak logo indicates it's Cherry Blossom Hall's territory, but I don't know if those places without the eagle beak logo are also under Cherry Blossom Hall's control. If by any chance I run into that person, I think I would ruin your good intentions in bringing me here!" Xinran crossed her arms and said coldly. At this moment, she not only wanted to leave this place quickly but also wished to escape Japan entirely; she didn't want to touch anything that bore Mu Shaosi's scent.
"So you don't want to see him? I've heard my brother mention him; he is indeed the Young Master of Cherry Blossom Hall named Dong Shan Zhong. I've heard he's quite mysterious, which is why this president sister who rarely visits the company hasn't had a chance to meet him yet. But what kind of grudge do you have against him?" Shinohara Ryo began to doubt whether it was a mistake not to pursue a career in showbiz; she could spin lies so smoothly. As for opportunities to meet Young Master Si, she probably had more chances than anyone else among the Four Gatekeepers besides Kotobuki since she was actually Takahashi Ryu's goddaughter!
"Those are just past matters; there's no need to bring them up," Xinran thought coldly. It turned out he hadn't lied; he really did have a name called Dong Shan Zhong. But so what? Perhaps this was the only truth he ever told her!
"Are you sure it's all in the past?" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded beside Xinran's ear. She didn't turn around because she knew exactly who stood behind her at that moment. Was this considered her bad luck? The person she least wanted to see kept appearing before her repeatedly within a single day.
"Miss Shinohara, I've suddenly changed my mind; I don't want to go back anymore. Let's find a nightclub instead—how about that Ires over there?" Ignoring the man who had suddenly appeared, Xinran pointed toward the nearby nightclub and took the lead in walking away.
She had intended to cut ties with Mu Shaosi once and for all, but he kept breaking his promises and showing up in front of her. Since that was the case, she'd show him! She wasn't some virtuous woman, especially towards those who had hurt her; there was no need for her to care anymore. Tonight, she would enjoy herself fully. If she could find a suitable man for a romantic night together, that would be ideal. While she wasn't one for indulgence, finding another man to erase Mu Shaosi's lingering traces on her seemed like a good idea!
Shinohara Ryo followed behind Xinran and turned to look at the Young Master Si, who was standing still, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth... Look! The show is about to begin!
