Chapter 43 A Strange Turn Of Events
The car drove into an abandoned warehouse, and Komachi Akane skillfully dragged Mori Norio, who was making "ooh ooh" noises, out of the trunk. She hung him in the air, tied a blindfold over his eyes, and pulled out the cloth that was stuffed in his mouth.
"What do you want?" Mori Norio felt that he could speak and asked directly: "You covered my eyes because you don't want to harm my life. In that case, make your demands. I will cooperate. But I'm only an adopted son-in-law. If your demands are too high, the Mori Group will choose to call the police and fight back with all their might. If they can save me, it will be a great achievement. If I die, they will express their condolences and then find another heir."
"..." Li Xia looked at him strangely. He had to admit that Mori Norio was a worthy choice for the Mori Group. His psychological quality and negotiation skills were both top-notch.
In just a few sentences, he had put himself on the same side as the kidnappers, while clarifying the stakes. If he was really a traitor, he would have cooperated with him.
The culture of adopted son-in-laws in Tokyo had some merits in a way. Besides preventing the heirs from being useless, it also prevented kidnapping to some extent.
But Li Xia only found out that he was playing with his aunt's feelings, but he had tied him up directly. He didn't know what to do next. He couldn't just kill him, right? After all, he was a tycoon's heir. If something happened, there would be a lot of trouble later. So he looked at Kirigiri Shimizu for help.
Kirigiri Shimizu saw him looking at her, but she just nodded slightly and walked straight to Mori Norio's face. She stood ten centimeters away from him and didn't say a word.
Mori Norio felt someone standing in front of him, but he couldn't see. He didn't know the kidnapper's purpose. The silence made him feel creepy. Humans would have a fear rooted in their bones from the unknown.
And it went on like this for ten minutes. Mori Norio's spirit had clearly reached its limit. The feeling of being suspended in the air, and the unknown fear, made him lose his calmness. His face was pale and scary. His clothes were soaked with sweat. He trembled uncontrollably, but he didn't dare to say a word. Gradually, his breathing became heavier and heavier. If it continued, he would collapse in an instant.
Li Xia stood behind, watching everything. He couldn't help but put himself in Mori Norio's position. He felt a chill in his heart.
Kirigiri Shimizu did not use any violence, but he pushed the strong-minded Mori Norio to this point. It was clear that this was not the first time. It meant that under her cold appearance, she might be very good at interrogation and torture. These thoughts made him shudder.
The abandoned factory was only filled with Mori Norio's louder and louder breathing. It seems he was about to reach his limit. So, Kirigiri Shimizu finally spoke, her voice like the cold wind of Siberia, making him feel chilled: "Cut off all contact with Asakawa Aki."
The message was very short, and there was no threat at all. The strong did not need to threaten. They could easily capture him in broad daylight, as if this was all just to tell him this simple sentence. But Li Xia believed that Mori Norio would not dare to contact his aunt again, and even avoid her.
And after analyzing the pros and cons, Mori Norio would not investigate them either. He was a tycoon heir, but he also had the status of a son-in-law. He did not dare to use his family power to retaliate.
"Amazing..." Li Xia sighed quietly. As he learned more about Kirigiri Shimizu, this woman made him more and more afraid. She was decisive and ruthless, without any mercy, did not care about any rules, but could grasp the key points, and achieve her goals in the most direct and efficient way.
Then, what was her real purpose for approaching him? Li Xia was even more confused.
Mori Norio finally heard a voice, nodding desperately as if granted amnesty. "I understand. I will do exactly as you say!"
If this sentence is repeated continuously, it's clear that he was genuinely quite scared just now.
Kirigiri Shimizu glanced at Komachi Akane standing beside her.
Komachi Akane understood, reaching out to untie the rope around Mori Norio. He fell directly to the ground. It seemed that he finally felt safe, as the kidnappers seemed to have really decided to let him go, and he slumped down, completely limp.
On the other hand, Li Xia shook his head. He really hadn't expected this matter to end like this. Seeing Mori Norio's pitiful appearance, he no longer had the heart to vent his anger on him. He turned around, intending to get into the car. He really didn't want to look at someone who deceived his aunt any longer.
Just then, Mori Norio, having confirmed his safety, cautiously spoke up. "I'm sorry. I will definitely comply with your demands, but please tell me. Who is Asakawa Aki? I don't know anyone around me by that name."
His words plunged the surroundings into silence. Li Xia was about to get on the car when he heard this sentence, and he turned his head with a confused expression, looking at Komachi Akane, who had the same confused expression.
Even Kirigiri Shimizu frowned.
Mori Norio felt the silence around him and instantly became nervous. He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I will definitely investigate and find out who Asakawa Aki is. I won't cause trouble for you."
After saying that, in order to make his words more believable, he continued to explain, increasing the credibility of his speech.
Li Xia was bewildered. He didn't think it was necessary for Mori Norio to deceive them in this situation. After all the fuss, could it be that he had caught the wrong person?
Kirigiri Shimizu made a gesture to Komachi Akane, and Komachi Akane nodded. She reached out, lifted Mori Norio up, and stuffed him into the car, then drove away.
Watching the car leave, Li Xia looked at Kirigiri Shimizu again and asked softly, "What do we do next?"
Kirigiri Shimizu sat down on the ground and pointed to her thigh.
Li Xia's face twitched, but he didn't dare to resist under her cold gaze, and lay down obediently. Although he was repulsed mentally, physically speaking, her transparent stockings were smooth, and her thighs were soft. As long as the posture was correct, it’s quite comfortable to sleep on.
An hour passed like this, and Komachi Akane drove back here. As soon as she parked the car, she hurriedly got out of the driver's seat: "The call address is Mori Norio's villa. The couple lives there permanently, unless there is someone else. Use their landline to talk.”
"No." Li Xia sat up and shook her head: "If it were anyone else, it would be impossible to use the owner's landline to make such a private call, unless..."
As Li Xia spoke, he took out the information packet from the car, pulled it out, turned over the first page, and looked at the second personal file.
Mori Mari, 26 years old, is the only daughter of the CEO of Mori Group.
"It's impossible..." Li Xia's eyes stopped on the photo. He swallowed a mouthful of salive at the mature woman with aggressive eyes.
