This apartment is also owned by the Hebi-Hachi family and is located in Shinjuku Ward, not far from the Genji Heavy Industries building where he works.
Yawning, Gu Ran opened the apartment door and immediately realized something was wrong.
There is someone in the house.
He rolled his eyes, intending to search, but unexpectedly, the person in the room jumped out from the corridor and pounced on him.
Gu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then immediately opened his arms to catch her: "Why are you here?"
"I'll give you a surprise!" Su Xiaoqiang smiled and clung to Gu Ran, then frowned.
She sniffed his clothes like a puppy: "You smell like a woman's perfume!"
After saying that, she grabbed his collar with both hands: "What do you have to explain?"
"Socializing, socializing! I didn't do anything, I'm completely innocent, otherwise I wouldn't be the only one who came back."
"Can't you finish what you're doing before you come back?"
Gu Ran smiled and put his arm around her small waist, whispering in her ear, "If you don't believe me, you can experience it for yourself in a little while. You can tell whether I'm done before I come back just by looking at the quantity and quality."
Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, blushed slightly, and then patted his chest: "You're so annoying!"
After closing the door and entering the apartment, I discovered that Su Xiaoqiang had already tidied it up.
"When did you arrive?" Gu Ran asked.
"They arrived yesterday."
Yesterday, Gu Ran told Su Xiaoqiang where he lived in Japan, so she wanted to surprise her husband.
As soon as she entered the apartment, the security guard recognized her and gave her the apartment key.
Su Xiaoqiang's identity is registered with the Sheqi Bajia family, and everyone knows her. The security of this apartment building is also handled by the Sheqi Bajia family, so it can be said to be very safe.
This apartment is located on the nineteenth floor and is a duplex with a total usable area of over 150 square meters. It is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room that offers a direct view of Tokyo Skytree and an unobstructed view of the Tokyo cityscape.
After taking a shower, Gu Ran, still in her pajamas, sat on the single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Tokyo night view.
Su Xiaoqiang brought over a bowl of cola ginger soup and fed it to him to help him sober up.
Actually, he didn't drink much, but since his concubine rarely fed him, he couldn't refuse, so he let her feed him in small sips.
“Speaking of which, we rarely have time to ourselves at home as a couple.” Gu Ran reached out and hugged Su Xiaoqiang, who was wearing a nightgown, and the two squeezed onto a single sofa.
Whether they are in Shanghai or Binhai, they usually have Liu Miaomiao at home, Su Xiaoqiang's parents at home, or Gu Ran's mother at home.
Although they close the door to avoid disturbing each other, the thought of other family members nearby always makes them restrain their affectionate interactions.
There really isn't a home like this where only the two of them are together.
Su Xiaoqiang nestled in his arms, gazing at the night view outside the window, enjoying the tranquility of having her lover by her side.
She suddenly had an idea and said, "How about we buy an apartment in Shanghai? When you come to Shanghai, we can live together, without any unwanted children."
Gu Ran stroked her smooth shoulder and smelled the fragrance in her hair: "Actually, you don't need to buy one. The Zhang family has an apartment in Tomson Riviera, which seems to be the closest to the river. It has already been transferred to my name. I'll have my mom take you up there another day."
Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he was already the Supreme Elder of the Zhang family.
Gu Ran seemed to see through her thoughts: "Then let's buy another one, with our money, one that belongs to us."
Su Xiaoqiang smiled, lay on his chest, and slowly climbed up to kiss his lips.
*……*……*……*
Su Xiaoqiang spent three days and two nights in Tokyo, staying at home with Gu Ran the whole time. Apart from going out to the supermarket to buy a bunch of things, the two of them stayed at home the whole time.
After seeing her off, Gu Ran went to report to Genji Heavy Industries.
"I never imagined I'd have such a large office, with such a great view, where I can see the endless stream of vehicles on the elevated highway," Gu Ran said, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office.
The crow asked him, "Would you like me to assign you a secretary?"
"Are there any like Miss Sakura?"
The crow chuckled: "I'd like a secretary like that too."
"Then forget it. I don't usually have much to do." Gu Ran stretched. "I probably don't have much to do usually, right? I don't like doing missions..."
The crow, who was listening nearby, was both amused and exasperated. It was the first time he had ever seen someone openly admit that they didn't like doing missions.
"The underworld is currently undergoing consolidation. The Ghost Gang has been incorporated into our organization. Of course, there are also those who refuse to be incorporated and want to start their own group. We are still discussing countermeasures."
At this moment, Crow walked to Gu Ran's side and whispered to him, "Some members of the Fierce Ghost Clan are still fantasizing about finding another King and Dragon King to continue fighting against the Snake Clan."
"A die-hard fan of the King?"
“Yes!” the raven sighed. “They don’t know yet that the king is Herzog.”
Gu Ran nodded: "So the Snake-Headed Eight Families didn't know that Tachibana Masamune was Herzog?"
“Only a few people within the family know that Herzog is a demon. To the children at the bottom of the family, we say that the patriarch of the Tachibana family, Tachibana Masamune, heroically sacrificed himself in the underground garage to save the patriarch,” the raven said expressionlessly. “Behind the family shrine, there is a fake tombstone for Tachibana Masamune. His and the patriarch’s belongings are kept together, and the place is called ‘Teacher-Student Repository.’ Occasionally, people come here to pay their respects.”
Gu Ran was well aware of the Snake Clan's intentions in doing so.
The Snake Clan is a large organization with many members, and the most important thing to maintain in such an organization is prestige.
If the low-level thugs knew that the person who caused that disaster was actually the former patriarch, then those uneducated thugs would probably rebel immediately, affecting the prestige of the family's upper echelons and causing trouble in management after the rebellion was quelled.
That's how the adult world is. Even though he's a demon from hell, the living head of the family would love to drag Tachibana Masamune out of hell and whip his corpse, but now they have to worship him on holidays and pay their respects.
"So, how many people know that Yuan Zhisheng is still alive?" Gu Ran asked in a low voice.
"I am Yaksha, the current patriarch."
Where did the giant tortoise live after returning to Japan?
“In Oarai Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, a small place with a population of less than 20,000.”
"Oh... I remember there's a really pretty torii gate on the beach there... I'll take Su Xiaoqiang there sometime." Gu Ran then asked, "By the way, where's Yaksha? Isn't he with the clan right now?"
“He also works in Oarai. His family has a branch of the Ganryu Research Institute there, which is an atomic energy facility. He works there as a henchman, and he can also look after the young master there.”
Gu Ran understood that this was just in case; if anyone caused trouble for Yuan Zhisheng, Yasha could help in time.
"By the way, do me a favor." Gu Ran looked at the crow. "The pills my mother made for Erii are finished. This is the first batch. Take it to her to try and see if there's anything that needs improvement."
As he spoke, he handed a glass medicine bottle to the crow.
The crow paused for a moment, took the pill, and bowed ninety degrees to him: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
The crow knew about Erii's situation; he had actually prepared for the worst. Once Erii's serum ran out, he would secretly arrest some criminals to restart Herzog's experiments...
Chapter 589 Isabel, Chairman Lu's Secretary
Even though the crow knew it was wrong to do this, and that he would be killed if he were discovered, he was not afraid; it was what he, as a retainer, should do.
He was a retainer of Genjiro, and Erii was his sister, which meant she was his mistress.
The crow was willing to continue the inhumane Deadpool experiments for Erii's sake; this was his noble cause.
But now that Gu Ran has a better method, that's perfect.
He no longer needs to convince himself with hypocritical 'righteousness'.
"No need to thank me, Erii is also my friend." Gu Ran smiled. "Besides, for Lu Mingfei's sake, I have to help her out."
"I heard that boy hasn't visited Miss at all." Crow seemed a little angry and dissatisfied. "What's wrong with my Miss? It's her good fortune that she's taken a liking to him."
Gu Ran thought for a moment and decided to explain for Lu Mingfei, so he took out his phone and showed Crow a picture of Nuonuo.
Crow took the phone and glanced at it. He was initially surprised that the young lady had such a sharp look in her eyes, but upon closer inspection of her expression, he realized that the person in the photo was not Erii.
"she is?"
"Chen Motong, Caesar's girlfriend, and Lu Mingfei's crush."
"Fuck!"
This sentence, less than twenty words long, simply tells the story of a melodramatic love triangle and the love-hate entanglement between brothers.
The crow was shocked but also excited: "Lu Mingfei has some nerve! He actually dared to seduce my sister-in-law. Isn't he afraid of being stabbed three times and stabbed six times?"
"Let me correct you, having a crush is not the same as seduction." Gu Ran took back his phone and patted Crow on the shoulder. "I've only told you this gossip, so don't spread it around. If it gets to Erii's ears, she might suddenly want to destroy the world... You'd better watch out."
"Damn it!" the crow cursed again. "You know perfectly well that I'm a blabbermouth, yet you still told me such a secret. You're clearly trying to get me killed!"
He ended up being taken in as a retainer by Genjiro because he gossiped about Sakura Yabuki back then. Well, this can be considered as facilitating the young master's marriage; Sakura will be the young master's wife in the future...
*……*……*
Across the ocean, Kassel College held a social gathering today as part of its "Free Day" celebration.
Both Gu Ran and Lu Mingfei intended to ease the tension between the two major student organizations in the college, so today they decided not to celebrate the Lionheart Society's great victory over the Student Union, but instead to hold a "Joyful Gathering," which was still funded and organized by the Student Union.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very warm. Although the two clubs were competitors, they both knew that Caesar and Chu Zihang admired each other in private. In addition, during Chu Zihang's trial, the two clubs were united in their hatred against the evil school board. Therefore, the confrontation between the two clubs was not as intense as before.
Now that the newly appointed leaders of the two major triads are good friends and brothers, there is even less reason for them to continue their confrontation.
Since Gu Ran didn't attend the banquet, Lu Mingfei also didn't go; he left everything to his subordinates.
He trains every day now, he's practically a dog, and when he gets back to Amber House, all he wants to do is go to bed.
"Oh, Chairman Lu is back." Nuonuo smiled teasingly; she had been waiting for Lu Mingfei in front of the stairs of the Amber Pavilion.
"What?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Nuonuo but said, "I'm so tired, I really want to go to bed."
His feelings for Nono are complicated. He knows that Nono has not accepted Caesar's marriage proposal, always citing the reason that she is "too young and does not want to be caged by the Gattuso family so soon."
Caesar understood this; he knew Nono didn't like being restrained, and if she were locked in a cage, she wouldn't be Nono.
Caesar was confident that Nono would eventually choose him, so he was willing to wait and never question or interfere with Nono's freedom.
This gave Lu Mingfei a little bit of hope. He would always wonder if there was any reason why Nuonuo didn't accept Caesar's marriage: it was because of... him?
With this tiny bit of anticipation, Lu Mingfei always experienced both pain and joy.
"I've chosen a new concubine for you. Would you like to take a look?" Nuonuo said with a half-smile.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the dance troupe was electing a leader these past two days. According to the tradition passed down by Caesar, the leader of the dance troupe would be the assistant and secretary of the student council president.
"What concubine? She's here to work for the organization. Don't smear her," Lu Mingfei said righteously. "Who was chosen? Zero?"
The dance troupe is full of beautiful women, but the most outstanding one is probably Ling. She is beautiful and serious, has a good figure, and dances well, but her figure is a bit lacking, and she looks like a minor.
"Zero doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, and this little princess is too lazy to serve you." Nono also likes Zero, but she can't see through Zero.
