296. Birthday presents
"Tokyo, long time no see."
It's really long enough, if you calculate carefully, the last time Gu Bei went to Japan was two hundred chapters ago (crossed out...... The last time I was in Tokyo was two years ago.
Genji Heavy Industries, the non-existent "ΞΎ" layer.
Since Eri got permission to go out, this floor has been transformed into a semi-open format, making it easier for Eri to go out at any time.
Although people without permission are still not allowed to enter and exit at will, Gu Bei and the young master of the Eight Snake Families will naturally not be stopped.
It is worth mentioning that because of Gu Bei's reminder, the young master also recognized the internal problems of the Eight Snake Families, and in the past two years, he has caught a lot of nails that have been planted by the Ghost Sect into the Eight Snake Families, but it is not easy to say that it will definitely be cleaned up.
Thanks to this, Gen Zhisheng didn't dare to let some people who were originally worthy of trust enter Eri's room at will, and now those who can enter and exit the floor where Eri is located are all Yuan Zhisheng's cronies, similar to Sakura, Zuo Bo Ryuji, and Kan Wuyue Hanzo...... Actually, it's a yaksha.
Yuan Zhisheng poured Gu Bei a cup of tea.
As the young master of the Eight Families of Snake Differences, Gen Zhisheng not only has a hand in cutting people, but also is very perfect in dealing with people, this hand tea ceremony was placed hundreds of years ago, and it is estimated that he can break his wrist with Sen no Rikyu.
(Sen no Rikyu, the pinnacle of the Japanese tea ceremony, similar to the domestic Rikuha.) οΌ
But Gu Bei doesn't understand tea, he only knows how to drink it, like a cow chewing a peony.
Eri sat beside him, doing the same.
The corners of Yuan Zhisheng's mouth twitched, looking at the pear clothes who were bad with Gu Bei, and she didn't look like Wen Wen quietly on weekdays at all.
But he also knows it's a good thing.
Although Eri's personality has been somewhat open since she walked out, she has always cowered, like a fragile rag doll.
Yuan Zhisheng understands that the perennial isolation has made this girl too unfamiliar with the world, and every attempt, every contact with the world, requires her to summon great courage.
As an elder brother, she can't help her, because in Eriyi's view, her brother is the one who makes decisions, and the orders he gives must be completed, without thinking about why.
To a certain extent, this is still a constraint on Eri Yi, and it is not conducive to the growth of Eri Yi.
And Gu Bei's behavior will not make Eri Yi feel "obedient", she is curious about Gu Bei and feels close, so she will subconsciously learn Gu Bei's appearance.
Although he was very unhappy in his heart, Gen Zhisheng still endured it and didn't pull Eri to his side.
"Huh? Uncle, you have a good craft. β
"Katsaβ"
The teacup in his hand was broken, and Yuan Zhisheng felt that his reason was about to break, although he knew that the relationship between these two people was not normal, but he didn't expect it to progress to this extent.
"You can't be angry, you can't do anything, Eri is still watching." β
Looking at Eri's curious eyes, Gen Zhisheng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and changed the subject: "Why did you think about coming to Tokyo at this time?" β
"Isn't this in a hurry to celebrate Eri's birthday?"
Gu Bei laughed, and suddenly slapped his head: "Oops, I almost forgot, you two brothers and sisters have the same birthday, big ...... Happy birthday Brother Yuan. β
Gu Bei originally wanted to tease Yuan Zhisheng, and then call out to the eldest brother twice, after all, looking at the young master of the Eight Snake Families, he couldn't get angry in his heart, not to mention how interesting it was.
But as soon as these three words came to his mouth, Gu Bei saw a flash of light on Yuan Zhisheng's waist.
, talking about playing, there's no need to pull out the boy cut!?
It's not that he can't beat it, the main thing is that Gu Bei thinks that people should be cowardly, and if he beats his future uncle in front of his future wife, Eri Yi will not care, but whether Yuan Zhisheng can hand over Eri Yi to him in the future is really hard to say.
Quickly changed his words: "Brother Yuan had an infinite scenery last night." β
Gu Bei was talking about last night's birthday party, and he happened to bump into it when he entered the Eight Snake Houses.
Originally, it was purchased for Eri Yi and Yuan Zhisheng, but more celebrities in the industry came, and big figures from both the political and business circles were present, as for the black ......
Don't make a fuss, isn't the snake family the biggest black?
This banquet began to celebrate the birthday of the young master and the moon reading life, and the other was to take this opportunity to force Yuan Zhisheng to lock up the pear clothes again, after all, the bloodline of the pear clothes has recently rebounded, although the eight families of the snake are in the same breath, but the family heads and the moon reading life are not related to each other, and there is the family righteousness in front of them, so naturally they will not pity this little girl.
In other words, the protagonists of the banquet are said to be two, but in fact, the focus is on Eri Yi.
However, Eri did not return late at night, which became an excuse for them to reseal the sharp knife.
The heads of the eight families of the Snake Qi family were about to ask Yuan Zhisheng to call Hui Liyi back, and they were all about to force Yuan Zhisheng to the palace, but Hui Liyi had not been notified yet, and Gu Bei arrived first.
Gu Beicai doesn't care if you are Wind Demon Kotaro or Miyamoto Musashi, it took him so much effort to let the little girl out, and you guys want to lock her up.
He is not as good at talking as Yuan Zhisheng, so he divided five by two to convince these old men with "virtue", and then found Yuan Zhisheng to ask about the whereabouts of Eriyi.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]
Hearing that Eri Yi was not at home, Gu Bei asked Yuan Zhisheng if he knew the location of Eri Yi, and then Yuan Zhisheng got the news from the crow that Eri was about to go to the Skytree, and Gu Bei could see Eri before twelve o'clock.
Should I say it or not, Gu Bei's trip was indeed a coincidence, and it coincided with the resurgence of Eriyi's blood, if it weren't for him, this little girl would inevitably be locked in a cage again.
Gu Bei did a good thing this time, which can be regarded as a relief for Yuan Zhisheng, otherwise Tong Ziche would have cracked when he shouted the first sentence of the eldest brother just now.
And the infinite scenery in Gu Bei's mouth is actually two meanings, one is that Yuan Zhisheng, as the young master of the eight families of the snake, celebrates his birthday as if the United Nations is in a meeting; The second is to imply that Yuan Zhisheng, as the young master of the Eight Snake Families, was roasted on the fire, if Gu Bei hadn't appeared, I am afraid that he would really have to choose between the family and blood relatives last night.
Gu Bei's words, of course Yuan Zhisheng understood.
"It's just a helpless move...... Don't blame them, they're also for the family. β
When he said this, although Yuan Zhisheng was answering Gu Bei, his eyes looked at Eriyi, he was actually talking to Eriyi.
It's a pity that even if it has been released for nearly two years, even if she has seen the world with her own eyes, Eri Yi still can't be like Yuan Zhisheng and Gu Bei, with eight hundred hearts and eyes in one sentence.
"I don't care about the internal affairs of your family, remember to tell them when you go back, don't hit Eri Yi with your idea, otherwise I don't mind being a man with a beard...... Forget it, the man of the left is a little cheap, or Dayu. β
The snake is a symbol of the Yaki Snake.
The man of the left slew slew the eight-headed Yaki Orochi.
Dayu, killed the nine-headed Xiangliu.
Gu Bei's threat is quite serious, that is, he and Eri Yi are tied together, if another person dares to spit out wild words in front of Yuan Zhisheng, I am afraid that he will really be a wine swallowing boy under the knife of a boy.
But the person who said this was Gu Bei......
Yuan Zhisheng nodded and did not speak again.
To be honest, he thinks this trick is very effective, judging from Gu Bei's combat effectiveness last night, after this is released, it is estimated that no one will dare to touch the pear clothes.
But the problem is that the person who has been lurking in the Eight Snake Eight Houses and wants to do something to Eri Yi has not been found out yet, and it is good that Gu Bei's existence has not been exposed in the Eight Snake Families, but since the incident last night, Gu Bei's existence is afraid that it will not be able to cover up, and if that person is on guard against Gu Bei, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to catch it.
But this is all later, the top priority at the moment is to get the heads of the families to give up the idea of re-imprisoning Eriyi, and Gu Bei's arrival is an opportunity.
Yuan Zhisheng was thoughtful, but Gu Bei didn't let him make a plan here, he interrupted Yuan Zhisheng's thinking and said, "Actually, I came this time to have something to do. β
"What's the matter?"
"You remember the guy I asked you to find before."
"You mean Herzog?"
Yuan Zhisheng came back to his senses: "I've been looking for him, but you only gave me a name from your side, and there is no other news, and there is no progress on my side at all." β
"It's okay, don't look for it anymore," Gu Bei shook his head, "I already remember who he is." β
Gu Bei looked at Eriyi: "Eriyi will go play the game first, your brother and I have something to discuss." β
"Okay." Erika nodded and bounced away.
Watching Eri Yi rush into the inner room, Gu Bei retracted his gaze and looked at Yuan Zhisheng: "Before talking about business, I have something I want to ask you." β
Gu Bei, who has always been hippie and smiling, showed this expression, and Yuan Zhisheng also became serious: "You ask." β
Gu Bei's eyes burned: "Some time ago, I arranged for a person to come to Tokyo to investigate some things, so that you can fully cooperate, and this person was later wanted by the Eight Snakes...... Can you tell me why? β
Yuan Zhisheng nodded: "There is indeed such a thing, since this is the case, then I have to ask you first...... You sent someone to crack Kaguyahime's system and search for the secrets of the Eight Snake Clans, for what? β
"Wait, when am I going to ......"
"It's the woman you sent named Mai Sakatoku," Genji's eyes were like knives, "She took a lot of information from Kaguyahime, including the secrets of the Eight Snake Family!" β
"That's not right!"
Gu Bei frowned: "What I asked her to investigate was Eriyi's life experience, how could she be involved with the Eight Snake Families...... Wait a minute! β
"Eri's life experience...... Is it a secret of the Eight Snakes? β
Gu Bei looked at Yuan Zhisheng and asked for an answer.
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head: "The entire family, only the eldest patriarch and the future eldest patriarch will become a confidential existence that needs to hide information, Eri Yi was indeed confidential when she was a monthly reader, but after the threat was eliminated, the confidentiality of the information was downgraded by one level, and it was the same level as several family heads." β
Gu Bei calculated: "In other words, Eriyi's life experience may be related to you and your eldest parent?" β
Yuan Zhisheng nodded: "Eri Yi and I are both orphans, and we were both picked up by the eldest parents, so Eri Yi will call me brother, of course, the two of us are not related by blood." β
Gu Bei looked at Yuan Zhisheng's eyes a little strangely: "You and Eri Yi ...... Are they all orphans? They were all picked up by the patriarch? β
Yuan Zhisheng nodded.
"Not related by blood...... Are you sure? β
Yuan Zhisheng stretched out his hands: "What is uncertain about this, I only have one ...... Forget it, don't talk about that, let's go back to Eri Yi, the blood relationship has not been tested, but it should be not, after all, she was only two or three years old when I first met Eri Yi, and she was a child brought back by her father from the orphanage, and she was considered to have a formal adoption relationship, and I followed my father into the snake family very early, and before that I lived in the small town of Shikatori, my father didn't adopt me, but just raised me all the time, so I called him Dad. β
"All in all, if it weren't for being taken in by my father at the same time, then Eri Yi and I would probably never know each other for the rest of our lives, so how could we be related?"
Gu Bei grabbed his hair, and his eyes began to complicate: "In other words, it's not absolutely nothing...... This big guy is very suspicious...... If you and Eri are really like that......"
"What's the matter, what are you talking about?"
Yuan Zhisheng felt a flustered heart for no reason, and the uneasiness began to take root and sprout like a watered seed.
"You need to be mentally prepared first." Gu Bei looked at him, the light in his hand flashed, and a pile of documents appeared.
He put the document on the table and pushed it to Genjisheng, "I found this when I was investigating Eri's background. β
Yuan Zhisheng picked up the document, and what caught his eye was not the style, but a photo sandwiched on the first page of the document.
It was a black-and-white photograph, quite old, with a woman, a red-haired woman.
A woman who looks like Eri is ninety percent long.
"Charlotte Chen, Eriyi's grandmother, a mixed race of the Chen family of the Celestial Dynasty and the French Francis family, as for his husband, he is the young head of the Uesugi family of the previous generation, Hideo Uesugi."
Gu Bei looked at Yuan Zhisheng and said in a solemn tone: "Charlotte Chen and Hideo Uesugi gave birth to the previous generation of movie queens, and they were also the last patriarchs of the Eight Families of Uesugi - Uesugi Yue, but in the records, Uesugi Yue had no heirs, and until he disappeared, none of the women who were given to him by the family could get pregnant...... This is the internal information of the Eight Snake Families, you should know better than me. β
Yuan Zhisheng nodded.
Gu Bei continued: "It doesn't matter, there are no heirs on the surface, it doesn't mean that there are no secrets, in addition to the formal way, Jiude Mai found another way and found other interesting things." β
Gu Bei motioned to Yuan Zhisheng to turn the next page, which was a file.
Agreement on Uesugioshi Voluntary Donation**
"It's ......"
"That's right," Gu Bei nodded, "This is a possibility beyond the possibility, Mai Jiude investigated the whereabouts of Uesugi Yue**." β
As he spoke, Gu Bei took out another document.
"Remember the Herzog I asked you to find? I remembered that this person used to be a scientist of the Red Alliance, and after the dissolution of the Alliance, the whereabouts of this person are unknown......"
"But when I was investigating Eri's background, I saw this person's name again."
The document was placed in front of Yuan Zhisheng, and the pure white cover was only five big characters.
"Black Swan Project".
"Think of it as my birthday present to you...... Although you may not like it much. β
