He didn't know why, but ever since he came back from the shrine festival and the Test of Courage, his sister-in-law Hai Xili, whom he secretly admired, had been ignoring him.
Even if he took the initiative to move forward, Hai Xili would hardly say a word to him, not even looking at him.
This made Xia Shuming, who still had many fantasies about Hai Xioli, very depressed.
He was still hoping that Hai Xili would take the initiative to cancel the engagement with his brother Xia Shu and be with him, her true love. But now it seems very difficult.
So Natsuki Akito originally planned to go to Sayoko's izakaya to get drunk tonight.
Sayako has a very gentle personality, and is like a caring older sister, even a bit like a mother. She knows that he is upset and will comfort him.
But what made Xia Shuming even more depressed was that when he arrived at the izakaya, he found that it had closed early.
Even the lights on the second floor were turned off.
Although there were faint sounds coming from upstairs, he called Sayaka several times, but no one answered.
After secretly cursing Sayaka's irresponsibility and the izakaya closing too early, Natsuki Akito walked towards home in a depressed mood.
But when he was halfway there, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing this tall and strong man in black, Xia Shuming, who was in a bad mood, frowned.
"Hey! What are you doing? You're blocking the road. Please move aside!" Xia Shuming said in a bad tone.
"Ha... sorry..." The man in black smiled apologetically at Natsuki Akito.
When Xia Shuming saw the other person's apologetic smile, he was about to vent his anger and scold the other person.
However, a strong wind suddenly blew from behind, and a black sack was quickly put on his head.
Before Xia Shuming could struggle, several huge, hard fists suddenly hit his restrained head, making him dizzy.
When Xia Shuming came to his senses, he found that his hands and feet were tied tightly.
With his vision completely blocked by the pitch-black sack, Xia Shuming only knew that he was sitting in a car full of people, but he had no idea where these people would take him.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Xia Shuming, whose head was covered, began to tremble with fear and did not dare to speak again.
About ten minutes later.
When he was taken out of the car and the sack on his head was untied, Xia Shuming found that he was taken to a spacious courtyard, and seemed to be in a very luxurious mansion.
Just as Xia Shuming was about to look around to check where he was, a voice in front of him suddenly spoke, interrupting his concentration.
"Hello, Natsuki Akito."
As the strange man's voice came, Xia Shuming raised his head.
In front of him stood a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar appearance, about fifty or sixty years old, with a straight back and a look of majesty without even getting angry, which made Xia Shuming so afraid that he dared not look him in the eye.
"Hello, may I ask who you are..." Not daring to ask why he was tied up, Xia Shuming lowered his head and asked cautiously.
Yoshizawa Eigen waved his hand calmly and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I asked you to come here today, Mingrenjun, mainly because I have a few questions to ask you."
"What...what's the problem? I'll tell you what I can." Feeling that the middle-aged man in front of him had a dignified temperament, but seemed to have a gentle tone and was easy to talk to, Xia Shuming raised his voice a little.
But seeing this scene, Yoshizawa Eigen suddenly laughed and said, "Let's talk about it later. You guys start first."
Yoshizawa Eigen suddenly winked at the several burly men in black behind Natsuki Akito.
These sturdy men pushed Xia Shuming to the ground in an instant, and beat him up with punches and kicks without mercy.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Sir, you ask! I'll tell you whatever you ask, I'll tell you everything! Stop hitting me!"
It was not until Xia Shuming was beaten to the point of crying and begging for mercy that Yoshizawa Eigen asked his men to stop.
Looking at the bruised and swollen Natsuki Akito kneeling on the ground, Yoshizawa Eigen, who felt much more pleasing to the eye, nodded and asked, "Your name is Natsuki Akito, and you have a brother named Natsuki Kazuto. And your brother has a fiancée named Umi Shiori, who works at Yoshizawa Clinic, right?"
"Yeah!"
Xia Shuming, who was afraid of being beaten again, immediately nodded and agreed, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"You have liked Kaishiori for a long time, and even though she became your brother Natsuki Kazuto's fiancée and your nominal sister-in-law, you still coveted her, right?" Yoshizawa Eigen asked again.
"Ah, this..." Faced with this issue that might seriously affect his reputation, Xia Shuming was naturally a little hesitant.
"Fight." Then Yoshizawa Eigen, who was standing, did not hesitate or wait at all, and simply waved to the man in black behind him.
The burly man in black on Xia Shuming's right immediately stepped forward and hit him hard on the back with a stick, beating Xia Shuming so hard that his skin was torn and he cried out in pain.
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes! I still covet Hai Xili, even though she is my sister-in-law!"
"I can't forget her. I still have a crush on my sister-in-law and have many thoughts about her!"
After being beaten, Xia Shuming, who couldn't bear the pain, didn't care about his face anymore, and directly admitted his thoughts with tears.
Seeing that he had put aside his pride and answered honestly, Yoshizawa Eigen immediately asked, "Do you know Yoshizawa Takeo?"
"I know. He came to my brother and sister-in-law's house to stay overnight a few days ago, but he suddenly left not long after." Xia Shuming has begun to answer honestly.
"Then do you know where Takeo Yoshizawa went?" asked Yoshizawa Hidekien.
"No... not sure." Xia Shuming shook his head.
"Then tell me everything you know about him." Yoshizawa Eigen spoke again.
Under Yoshizawa Eigen's various questionings, the frightened Natsuki Akito told the other party everything he knew about what happened after Yoshizawa Eigen came to his house.
He told her everything, including the fact that Takeo Yoshizawa coveted Kaishiori and was jealous of him, the fact that Takeo Yoshizawa once caught him and Kaishiori having a secret meeting in the woods behind the mountain, and the fact that Takeo Yoshizawa threatened him and Kaishiori.
He even told Yoshizawa Eigen all the information about his brother Xia Shuheren and the news he knew about Lei Hongguang who had recently returned home.
It was because Yoshizawa Eigen didn't ask, otherwise the frightened Natsuki Akito would probably tell him how many times he had directed it to his sister-in-law Hai Xili.
"Take him away and lock him up first." After listening to Natsuki Akito's confession, Yoshizawa Eigen waved his hand.
These men immediately took Xia Shuming to a small dark room and locked him up.
Looking at Natsuki Akito's trembling back as he was taken away, Yoshizawa Eigen reached out and touched his chin, thinking silently.
Under his severe torture just now, Xia Shuming, whose bones were not very hard and were even particularly soft, had basically confessed everything.
Whether it is about his rebellious son Yoshizawa Takeo, or the complicated interpersonal relationships between him and his brother Natsuki Kazuto and Umi Shiori and others.
Although there is not much more direct and specific content, Akito Natsuki also said that he didn't know why Takeo Yoshizawa suddenly disappeared.
But combined with some information he had previously investigated, Yoshizawa Eigen could already confirm some things.
For example, he is now almost certain that the disappearance of his son Takeo Yoshizawa is definitely related to this woman, Hai Xioli.
He was just not sure whether Yoshizawa Eigen's disappearance was caused by Hai Xili alone or by someone else.
Yoshizawa Eigen still prefers to believe that someone is helping Kaishiori behind the scenes.
After all, Hai Xili was just a little nurse in his hospital, and her background was not complicated.
A woman like this, who has no background and no power, and has nothing special about her except her beautiful appearance and sexy figure, even if she can deal with Takeo Yoshizawa, she will definitely not be able to deal with Fujimoto Shiki's group of thugs.
But the result was that the group of thugs just disappeared.
The process is quite similar to Takeo Yoshizawa's.
It is unlikely that this has nothing to do with Hai Xioli.
But who is helping her?
Although Xia Shuming has always had a crush on Hai Xili, this guy is so cowardly and useless that it is probably not him.
And the fiancé in Hai Xili and the high school student who just returned home to visit relatives don't seem to have this ability...
Could it be that they were his business enemies, or his family's former mortal enemies, and that these people were secretly retaliating against him?
Yoshizawa Eigen rubbed his brows and found that he still did not have enough information and was unable to lock onto a target.
However, it is certain that there is a problem in the sea tide, and we can continue to investigate in depth on this point.
Although there seemed to be someone watching over him from behind, with Yoshizawa Eigen's skills, it was easy for him to capture a young nurse in the hospital.
After capturing the other party, he used all kinds of tricks to make the woman suffer a fate neither able to live nor to die, and forced her to tell the truth.
However, considering that there might be someone behind Kaishiori, Yoshizawa Eigen decided to think about it and take down Kaishiori steadily, and then force him to tell whether his son Yoshizawa Takeo is dead or what happened...

The next day, early in the morning.
The bright sunlight shines through the window lattice and the gauze curtain into the quiet room.
Clothes were scattered all over the wood-grain tiles on the floor of the room.
The sheets and quilts on the bed were also in a mess.
There was only one figure, snuggling closely with another figure.
Lei Hongguang opened his eyes and felt Sayaka's hands and feet wrapped around his body. He reached out and moved them away.
It’s not that he doesn’t like tenderness.
The main reason is that the proprietress of this izakaya is too clingy.
Perhaps because she had been lonely for many years as a widow in name only, Sayoko was really clingy yesterday.
375 My good friend’s adopted son, Aunt Hai Xili…
In the early morning, the sunlight has already penetrated through the curtains and into the house.
Perhaps it's because it has been ripe for a long time, but it has been lonely for many years and no one has picked it.
In short, Sayaka's vitality surprised Lei Hongguang, who had an excellent physique.
Moreover, even though she was unwilling but powerless to fall behind, she still insisted on holding Lei Hongguang tightly.
It's a bit like hugging a doll, or binding it tightly like an octopus hunting, as if to make up for the loneliness of being alone and unable to sleep.
Lei Hongguang had no objection to Aunt Sayaka's compensatory clinginess.
However, after being hugged so tightly for a whole night, ordinary people would probably suffer from excessive congestion and muscle necrosis. Although Lei Hongguang had a good physique and no problem, he still felt a little stuffy, so he pulled at those jade arms.
After breaking free from his restraints, Lei Hongguang stretched his body.
Perhaps it was because he sensed some movement, or perhaps it was because his usual biological clock had arrived. In any case, when Lei Hongguang was about to get out of bed, Sayaka beside him also woke up slowly.
