Upon hearing Bai Yaxin's name, Yuki and Mizuo, who were originally relaxed sitting, suddenly sat up straight.
The atmosphere in the room also cleared in an instant, the previous playful mood disappeared, replaced by a seriousness.
"But I really can't figure out the reason for the current situation. Chongzong, do you have any thoughts?" (Yui Uesugi)
Chongzong pinched his chin with his thumb and forefinger, pondered for a moment, then replied.
"We have a long-standing grudge with Bai Yaxin, and this guy is just playing with us using underhanded tactics." (Chongzong)
"A while ago, Bai Yaxin successfully seized power within the Manranyama conglomerate, his current mentality must be very proud and conceited." (Chongzong)
"Knowing his personality, he will definitely try to eradicate us completely, making sure we can never threaten him again." (Chongzong)
"And his current mindset is probably extremely confident, thinking he can easily deal with us, so it's like a cat playing with a mouse before killing it, first tormenting us, then delivering a fatal blow." (Chongzong)
After Chongzong finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
After Chongzong's explanation, Yui Uesugi felt that the whole situation became clearer.
The reasons behind Bai Yaxin's actions were now reasonably explained.
However, some of the things Chongzong said during his analysis were too harsh, making Yui Uesugi almost want to interrupt him.
She didn't want Yuki and Mizuo to hear these things, afraid it would leave a negative impression on them due to their young age.
But after seeing the determined look in the eyes of these two children, she dispelled these concerns.
Yuki and Mizuo were not ordinary kids.
They were much stronger than their peers.
"Don't worry too much, good will prevail over evil. We'll find a way!" (Yui Uesugi)
Yui Uesugi tried to lighten the mood, not wanting everyone to feel too desperate, and then continued the discussion.
"Today, Chongzong went to investigate Hekita's base, how did it go?" (Yui Uesugi)
"Not ideal. The shopping street is mostly controlled by Hekita's people, and the most crucial part is that Hekita himself is untraceable, which makes it difficult for me to take action." (Chongzong)
"Wait, 'take action'? I thought we agreed not to take risks, just to gather information. What exactly do you have in mind?" (Yui Uesugi)
Chongzong slipped up and was caught by Yui Uesugi, especially embarrassing in front of the two younger sisters. Chongzong's expression instantly froze, not sure how to respond.
Girls hate when guys go back on their word, especially making promises and then breaking them afterwards.
Chongzong didn't dare look at Yui Uesugi, but he could clearly feel Yui Uesugi's gaze piercing through him like needles, pricking painfully.
Every passing second is deadly for Chongzong.
At this point, unable to come up with any brilliant excuse, Chongzong decided to come clean and seek a reduced sentence.
"There are too many people in the Kuroda organization. I can't possibly defeat them all, so I thought about seizing the opportunity when Kuroda is alone and interrogating him to get to the bottom of this." (Chongzong)
As Chongzong spoke, he unknowingly ended up in a kneeling position on the floor.
His earnest demeanor and repentant stance caused everyone to burst into laughter as soon as he finished confessing.
