"Miss Huizi, if you want to save your father, find me at this address. Time waits for no one!"
Before Xiao Tian Huizi could react, the call ended. Immediately, her message notification chimed.
A trace of surprise flickered in Xiao Tian Huizi's eyes as she looked at the message on her phone screen.
Just seven days ago, in Er Zhu's study, she had patted her chest and guaranteed that Ito Meixin would not dare to kidnap her father!
Yet now, her father had indeed been kidnapped!
"Ito Meixin, you idiot!"
Xiao Tian Huizi sneered, glancing at the message on her phone, and murmured to herself.
A little over ten minutes later, at the Gōzan villa.
"Huizi, hurry and tell Mr. Wang that they want to kill Miss Li!"
As soon as Xiao Tian Huizi arrived, Xiao Tian Yōryō, bound tightly to a chair, shouted at her.
Xiao Tian Yōryō was ready to die, but he didn't know that Er Zhu had already foreseen all of this seven days ago!
"Shut up, you fool!"
As Xiao Tian Yōryō was about to say more, Ito Meixin forcefully grabbed his hair and, the moment he opened his mouth, stuffed a handkerchief into it.
Xiao Tian Yōryō roared with indignant fury, but could only let out muffled sounds.
"Xiao Tian Huizi, your entire family has disgraced us Japanese people!"
Ito Meixin clenched his fists, gazing at Xiao Tian Huizi not far away, recalling a banquet he attended three days prior.
At that banquet, he had seen Xiao Tian Huizi. He had intended to approach and greet her, but then he saw her following Li Mei!
And what's more, she was wearing bodyguard attire!
For a top-tier Japanese noblewoman to act as a bodyguard for a Chinese person was not only a humiliation for the Xiao Tian family but also for the Japanese people.
"Don't say such useless things. Release my father, but I can only kill Li Mei, not Wang Er Zhu!"
Xiao Tian Huizi was stunned and instantly recalled the banquet three days ago. However, she offered no explanation, directly stating Ito Meixin's objective.
A hint of surprise and confusion flickered in Ito Meixin's eyes. He felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite pinpoint it.
"Because, as long as Li Mei is dead, I will have the confidence to be with Wang Er Zhu!"
Seeing the confused look in Ito Meixin's eyes, Xiao Tian Huizi's eyes darted, and she added.
Hmm?
Not far away, Xiao Tian Yōryō, tied to the chair, frowned, his mind filled with questions.
Huizi had never deigned to fight over a man with other women. Why would she say such a thing today?
Oh... Could it be...
Suddenly, Xiao Tian Yōryō's eyes lit up as if he had guessed something. A hint of admiration flashed in his astonished gaze.
No wonder Mr. Wang could become China's richest man. His foresight was truly unparalleled!
With this thought, Xiao Tian Yōryō stopped struggling, and the furrow in his brow slowly relaxed.
"Hahaha... I love women like you who prioritize love. I promise you, if you kill Li Mei, Wang Er Zhu will be yours!"
At this moment, Ito Meixin's hearty laughter echoed. He lightly patted Xiao Tian Huizi's shoulder, his eyes filled with triumph.
In the past, he had envied Wang Er Zhu's entourage of beautiful women. But now, he realized that having too many beautiful women was not necessarily a good thing!
Meanwhile, at Er Zhu's villa.
"Er Zhu, do you... have plans tonight?"
Wearing a scanty nightgown, Li Mei leaned by the bathroom door, looking at Er Zhu, who had just finished his shower.
They hadn't been together for half a month. She... really missed him.
"Yes, I... still have something to do. You go to sleep by yourself."
Er Zhu's eyes darted, and he thought of the nearing milestone of the Minghong Saber. He nodded slightly.
Although the Minghong Saber was already very powerful, it had not yet reached a distinguished rank. If he encountered stronger opponents in the future, an unranked Minghong Saber would be useless!
"You... aren't you leaving?"
As Er Zhu reached the bathroom door, a warm arm wrapped around his waist. Hearing Li Mei's hesitant tone, a trace of heartache flickered in Er Zhu's eyes.
However, with all sorts of extraordinary individuals from around the world converging on Kyoto, he... had to seize his cultivation!
"I promise you, I'll spend the entire next month with you, okay?"
Er Zhu took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and slowly turned around. He stroked Li Mei's delicate face, his voice incredibly gentle.
"Okay... alright."
Li Mei wanted to argue, but seeing the undeniable resolve in Er Zhu's eyes, she could only compromise.
After all, Er Zhu was doing important work. As his fiancée, she couldn't be unreasonable.
"Good boy, I won't let you get hurt!"
Seeing Li Mei nod, Er Zhu hugged her affectionately. The words seemed to be spoken to Li Mei, but more so to himself.
In the blink of an eye, as dawn broke, a shocking piece of news exploded like a bomb in Kyoto's upper-class society!
Wang Er Zhu's fiancée, Li Mei, was murdered last night, and the killer was Xiao Tian Huizi of Japan!
Such news sent many wealthy individuals into a panic. Especially those who had close ties with the Xiao Tian family, with some even selling off their assets and fleeing overseas!
Many also sought help from Rolly and Ito Meixin, hoping for their protection. The Xiao Tian family was, naturally, the most anxious.
"Mr. Ito, I killed Li Mei for you, you can't abandon me now!"
Xiao Tian Huizi clung tightly to Ito Meixin's leg, her eyes filled with fear and despair.
"Yes, please help us, considering we are all Japanese."
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi's state, Xiao Tian Yōryō also pretended to kneel and chimed in.
"Hahaha... Of course, from now on, we are all in this together!"
Feeling the trembling bodies of the father and daughter, Ito Meixin burst into laughter, his eyes filled with triumph and excitement.
He had initially thought this was just a simple way to put Wang Er Zhu in his place, but he hadn't expected this bonus!
Now, they had the support of over a dozen of the world's wealthiest individuals, with assets reaching five trillion and an unparalleled network of connections!
"Rolly, can we go find Wang Er Zhu now? I can't wait!"
With this thought, Ito Meixin immediately turned to Rolly, his eyes filled with eagerness and excitement!
Once he obtained Wang Er Zhu's assets, he would become the richest man in the Asia-Pacific region!
This way, he would not only avenge his son but also make the Ito family renowned. It was a win-win situation!
"Good, let's go now!"
Rolly deeply kissed the beauty in his arms, wiped the saliva from his lips, and looked at Ito Meixin triumphantly.
Within minutes, numerous luxury cars sped towards Er Zhu's villa. Yet, Er Zhu sat calmly on the sofa, unfazed.
At this moment, he had waited for a long time!
