An Yan’s gaze remained calm as she spoke to her,
"Cousin, you have lost face for our Great R Nation in Country Z. Your drugs have been exposed to the public eye, and now the Royal Family is under trendous pressure, dealing with the public resentnt on your behalf!"
"Yet instead of reflecting behind closed doors, you have co to the research institute so ostentatiously. In your eyes, what is the Royal Family? A tool for cleaning up your ss?"
Matsumoto Mina narrowed her eyes,
"You keep ntioning the Royal Family, but what does the Royal Family have to do with you? Don’t forget, you are nothing but Prince Rensong’s illegitimate daughter! You have no inheritance rights, nor have you ever received a penny of child support from the Royal Family! So what are you getting so worked up about?"
An Yan remained impassive,
"Perhaps it’s the awakening in my blood! The honor of the Royal Family needs to be upheld by each of its mbers. Though I am not one, my blood does not allow to be indifferent to your actions!"
"You think that bringing up the Royal Family will scare ?"
"You may not be afraid, but as long as I am here, you won’t succeed! Please, Miss Matsumoto Mina, go back and reflect on yourself!"
As An Yan finished speaking, Ono Yosuke imdiately ran out from the crowd and stood in front of Matsumoto Mina.
"Miss ina, please!"
"I... you..."
Matsumoto Mina kicked Ono Yosuke away and reached out to grab An Yan, but instead of catching her, she grabbed the Little Squirrel charm hanging on An Yan’s bag.
An Yan was stunned on the spot.
The Little Squirrel was also stunned.
Fearing that Little Squirrel wouldn’t be able to resist flipping out, An Yan was genuinely panicked. Not only did her complexion change, but her voice also revealed extre tension,
"Matsumoto Mina, give back my charm!"
Matsumoto Mina, who initially didn’t care about the charm, suddenly felt exhilarated when she saw Saori so agitated.
"I won’t give it to you!"
"Give it back!"
"I won’t return it!"
The Little Squirrel, stiff as a board, didn’t dare move an inch in Matsumoto Mina’s hand.
Although it didn’t dare to move its body, its mind was active. It suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks.
Taking advantage of the mont when no one was paying attention, Little Squirrel gave An Yan a signal with its eyes.
But An Yan seed not to notice and instead waved Wen Ya over,
"Retrieve my belonging, and I’ll pay you three tis your salary."
Wen Ya imdiately adopted an authentic karate stance.
Matsumoto Mina’s bodyguard didn’t hesitate to et the challenge head-on.
Both sides fought back and forth.
anwhile, Matsumoto Mina triumphantly waved the Little Squirrel in her hand and got into her car.
An Yan ran around the fighting crowd to catch up.
Only when Matsumoto Mina saw her getting close to her car did she say to the driver,
"Let’s go!"
Seeing Matsumoto Saori’s frustration at not being able to reach the car, Matsumoto Mina finally burst into joy.
With a blissful grin, she raised the charm in her hand and tapped the nose of the Little Squirrel curled up in her hand,
"You’ll be my first war trophy!"
***
With Matsumoto Mina gone, it was ti for the ship to set sail.
An Yan, looking dejected, signaled Wen Ya to stop.
The employees were abuzz with conversation.
They all sympathized with Miss Saori.
Although they didn’t know what was said, everyone saw Miss ina taking Miss Saori’s charm.
An hour later, a knock ca at An Yan’s office door. It opened, and Ono Yosuke entered, holding a large bag.
"Miss Saori, this is for you!"
Ono Yosuke placed a white plush teddy bear charm on the table,
"Miss ina always ans what she says; you are the first to ever stand up to her."
An Yan remained silent, her gaze fixed on the docunts in front of her.
Ono Yosuke hesitated for a mont and then said in a suppressed voice,
"Miss Saori, I’m willing to help you! I’ll do anything."
An Yan lifted her eyelids and then shook her head,
"Forget it. You’re just a minor security guard, and you’ve been implicated by and rembered by ina. No matter what, I’ll protect you. Don’t worry!"
After speaking, she lowered her head and started looking at the files again.
"I am a security guard, but my brother is Ono Eishi, who once was Miss ina’s assistant."
An Yan finally showed so interest,
"Go on."
"I know my brother might not be able to return. I also know that my abilities aren’t enough to avenge him. Even if I risked my life, I’m afraid I couldn’t do it."
"I’m not afraid of dying; I’m just afraid that Matsumoto ina won’t die!"
Ono Eishi placed the bag he had been holding on An Yan’s desk,
"These are so secret files about Matsumoto ina that my brother left at my place. I hope they can be of help to you, Miss Saori."
He pushed the files towards An Yan,
"Miss Saori, I really can be your knife! Trust !!"
An Yan quickly skimd through the files and then looked up, saying,
"I want to know if Matsumoto ina has any other residences besides the existing ones we can find?"
Ono Yosuke pondered for a while and said,
"I don’t know yet, but there should be clues at my brother’s place. I’ll go look for them tonight."
An Yan replied,
"Hmm."
***
Matsumoto ina returned to one of her publicly known residences.
As soon as she returned, her team mbers ca over,
"Miss ina, what should we do next?"
"We must quickly develop a result that can astonish everyone; otherwise, we won’t be able to shift the public’s sentint."
"Miss ina, we have to find a way to get back to the research institute!"
"..."
Matsumoto ina sneered, "Do you think we have to be at the research institute to co up with results?"
"You an..."
"From now on, keep your mouths shut tight! We’ll do it right here! When the new results are out, I want those people to kneel before and beg !"
After saying that, Matsumoto ina returned to her office.
She had her own people on the island; did Matsumoto Saori think that by forbidding her access, she would be helpless? Naive!
Matsumoto ina called her confidant, Kirihara Jiro,
"Get everything in Warehouse Zero shipped to !!"
Warehouse Zero was filled with all sorts of rare materials! It was Matsumoto ina’s own private warehouse, known only to her and the two brothers of the Kirihara Family. Back when she set it up, it was to guard against the day when the Matsumoto Family might cast her aside. Unexpectedly, the Matsumoto Family had not cast her aside, but she had been forced by Matsumoto Saori to use the contents of the warehouse ahead of ti.
After arranging things, Matsumoto ina got in her car and left.
To create a better drug, she needed Li Tianyao’s blood, and she was the only one who could obtain it!
Seeing her car co out, Luolie quickly had his driver start the car, trailing far behind Matsumoto ina’s car once again.
Similarly, when passing a corner, in the blink of an eye, Matsumoto ina’s car vanished without a trace.
Luolie and his n searched the area in bewildernt.
anwhile, the Little Squirrel hanging on Matsumoto ina’s bag sensed a terrifyingly powerful force at that instant. The force ca from a talisman Matsumoto ina had ignited.
The sudden fear made Little Squirrel’s fur stand on end uncontrollably.
Luckily, at that mont, Matsumoto ina was only focused on her satisfaction of having shaken off her tail again and didn’t notice it.
The car drove towards the bustling city center.
Little Squirrel behaved like an ordinary charm, not daring to move in the slightest.
