Chapter 459 The Darkness Before Dawn

Noki Suzuki threw a beautiful combination of punches.

Promises, deals, threats, inducements, frequent communication with people from all walks of life, and joint pressure on her father's cronies, in order to understand her father's current situation. The main reason is that her father has not appeared in public in the past ten days.

The feeling was very bad, and many people were directly shaken.

No one would support a person who is suspected to be dying, and they all feel that at this time it is better to stand with Shimodaime.

On the afternoon of the second day after being shot, someone finally couldn't bear the pressure and succumbed. Noki Suzuki got the details of her father's condition due to acute heart and kidney failure. Although his life was temporarily saved, he died due to lack of oxygen in the brain.

Severe brain damage has basically confirmed immediate loss of consciousness and complete loss of autonomy.

More importantly, his physical condition is still deteriorating and he may die at any time.

Suzuki Noki immediately took action and urged the legal team to start submitting documents to the government and the court to legally nail her father's loss of civil capacity so that she could smoothly take over her father's assets.

She has a legal advantage. The shares held by her father basically come from conditional gifts from her grandfather and mother. That is to say, these shares cannot be sold or transferred. They still have to return after they give up holding or die.

Of course, the Suzuki family, that is, in the hands of Suzuki Rii, is not dead yet, but in fact, it is almost as good as dead.

On the other hand, because her father was in such poor health, the number of people supporting her increased rapidly, and she received more cooperation in many aspects, allowing her to attack the Muto police who ordered the killer to shoot her more violently. The already furious police

The situation is even more rude now. Although the gunman was not caught and irrefutable evidence was obtained, the group was severely punished and Muto was placed under residential surveillance, that is, under house arrest in a high-end apartment.

If Muto succeeded in killing Noki Suzuki and had the qualifications to take over the Izumi Suzuki family, it would certainly be a treasure, but now that she failed in her last ditch effort, there is nothing to say. It is estimated that the Sekigata Group also plans to give up on her, so as not to

I didn't get any benefits, and even got burned.

Moreover, Muto failed more than once. She also failed to appoint someone to assassinate another competitor. Matsudaira and her ten-year-old son hid somewhere, and even the police failed to find her.

It went very well. The turtle tactic was a great success. Suzuki Nozomi felt like she had seen the light of day. She was a little elated, but she was not carried away yet. She still tied herself to Kitahara Shuji's lap and stayed there day and night. She just started talking about the future.

Why has she been worried about settling accounts with her father's mistresses for so many years? Kitahara Shuji would have been killed several times if not for it. She is not a silly and sweet young lady. She must take revenge, not to mention killing their skins.

Skinning them alive will at least make them bankrupt, and then stepping on them ten thousand times will make them unable to stand up forever.

Kitahara Shuji watched the inheritance war and saw that Noki Suzuki was about to win. He secretly rejoiced for her that Noki Suzuki was smart enough. However, her grandmother was only fourteen when she died. She was actually quite weak and her direct subordinates were barely able to defend themselves.

It is impossible to counterattack. We can only guard against thieves for a thousand days. It is indeed not easy to survive until the finals and almost win.

She was smiling all the time, but when she was alone, she probably tossed and turned a lot and was so scared that she couldn't sleep, right?

Everyone wants to live, no one wants to die...

Kitahara Shuji tried his best to be a good bodyguard. After all, he didn't want to be overturned in a desperate situation. He and Suzuki Nozomi fell in the darkness before dawn. Moreover, he was afraid that Fuyumi and the others would be worried and a bunch of people would come to join in the fun and something would happen.

, and did not tell them that he was almost beaten to death.

The situation has temporarily calmed down again. Whether Suzuki Noki takes over her father's shares through legal procedures or her father can't hold on and hangs up and takes over naturally, it will take some time, but there is no rush. It feels like it is almost impossible to lose.

.

"These are my grandparents." When Suzuki Noki had nothing to do, she took Kitahara Hideji to visit the third floor of her home, which was the residence of her grandparents before her death. After all, her boudoir was beaten to a pulp, and

It was soaked in water and it was completely uninhabitable in a short period of time, so I had to move here temporarily.

Kitahara Shuji looked at the Buddha's head and looked at the posthumous photo. He felt that Suzuki Noki's expression and temperament were more like her grandfather's, and her appearance was more like her grandmother's. Her grandfather was smiling and looked like a very kind middle-aged man, a bit like an office worker, not like an office worker.

The leader of a large conglomerate, but Kitahara Shuji can feel the slightest cunning, similar to Suzuki Noki, and her grandmother passed away relatively late. She was a gray-haired old lady with wrinkles on her face, giving people the impression of being quite serious and old-fashioned, and full of worries.

.

This was the elder of his friend. Kitahara Shuji obediently knocked on the rock to remind the two deceased people that he had come to visit, and then he lit incense and joined them as a gift. Suzuki Noki looked on with a smile and joked in a low voice: "

There is no need to be so serious, we are all our own people, and if they were alive, they would definitely like you very much."

"Rites cannot be discarded." Kitahara Hideji replied. Looking at the two deceased people on the portrait, he suddenly felt a little happy for them. If Suzuki Noki was killed by their son-in-law's mistress, these two people should feel quite guilty.

?That won't happen now, that's right.

Suzuki Noki nodded repeatedly, indicating that what Mr. Kitahara said was very reasonable. Then she pointed at the piano and recalled: "This is my grandmother's. She is a famous lady from Kansai. She is very talented and beautiful, and she plays the piano very well."

Well, I used to listen to it a lot when I was a kid."

Kitahara Shuji looked at it with great interest and asked: "Can you play?" He couldn't play it anyway, and he didn't have time to learn it.

"Of course!" Suzuki Noki went directly to the piano bench and sat down, opened the piano cover, slightly raised her pointed chin, and said reservedly: "I am a noble lady from Guanzhong, and I am not inferior to my grandma!"

Kitahara Shuji perked up and sat down obediently, pretending to be all ears, while Suzuki Nozomi took a deep breath and played "Wooden Rattle", which was similar in nature to the Chinese "Two Tigers".

A very short nursery rhyme with a cheerful and simple rhythm.

Kitahara Shuji just thought she wanted to warm her hands and didn't care. He was still looking forward to it, but Suzuki Noki turned her head and asked him: "How is it?"

Kitahara Hideji was puzzled: "That's it?"

Although he doesn't know how to do it, he feels that this level is at the elementary school level, no, it's at the kindergarten level, right? It seems that many children who have played piano since elementary school would not choose this kind of nursery rhyme to practice fingering. It feels like they can spend a few hours and probably can do it.

After playing it, it can't be called difficult at all.

Suzuki Noki said confidently: "That's it! As a superior, it's enough to know that this kind of thing exists and how to make judgments. You don't have to do it with your own hands at all!"

Kitahara Shuji looked at her speechlessly, "You damn monster, you're so good at talking, you're like a waste when you're really doing it!"

Waiting for nothing, what a waste of emotion!

Suzuki Noki playfully stuck out her tongue, left the piano, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Mr. Kitahara, don't be angry, I'm not kidding you... I'm in very bad health, and playing the piano is actually very tiring and drains my energy.

Yes, I have no choice but to study hard. I have no choice but to do this. My appreciation ability is still very strong!"

This reason was okay and barely made sense. Kitahara Shuji had no objection and began to follow Noki Suzuki to see the collections of her grandparents. Her grandmother married into the Izumi Suzuki family. Her husband died early and she remained a widow for half her life.

The family business is managed by the son-in-law. Apart from raising his granddaughter, most of his time is actually spent on socializing and art. The collection is extremely rich. The old lady is not short of money and has built an art gallery at home.

If someone else came to this treasure house and saw so many authentic works, he would probably be excited to death. However, Kitahara Shuji basically knows nothing about art and can only keep it fresh. It can even be said that... he doesn't appreciate it much.

The rectangular canvas is covered with black paint, and then there are four gray rectangles of different sizes. I have no idea what the artist wants to express, and it doesn't even feel geometrically beautiful.

Seeing him standing motionless in front of the painting, Suzuki Noki approached him and asked curiously: "Master Kitahara likes minimalist paintings?"

She was full of interest in finding out all the preferences of Kitahara Hideji. If Kitahara Hideji liked this style, she might consider catering to his preferences when renovating her boudoir.

Kitahara Hideji hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much does this painting cost?" As a layman, he could only judge the value by the price.

Noki Suzuki recalled for a moment: "Adreinhaar's works are famous for taking expressionism to the extreme of reaction. They were worth US$55,000 at auction, but are now worth between US$350,000 and US$400,000."

"

Kitahara Shuji was a little dazed when he heard it. This... I feel like it's so easy for a painter to make money. Just apply paint like this, and you can't even talk about the technique, and you can get a lot of money? I feel like I can do it!

But he knew that there must be something to it, and it wasn't as simple as it seemed. He admitted honestly: "I can't say I like it, I don't understand it." He probably won't be able to appreciate so-called modern art in this life, and he probably only deserves to hear the sound of Dongmei's breasts.

Sing nursery rhymes.

Suzuki Noki rolled her eyes and immediately agreed: "Actually, I don't understand it, and neither does my grandma. I bought it mainly for investment. Buy gold in troubled times, and buy antiques in prosperous times. The nature of art is the same as antiques, it is to preserve value.

A good investment choice is mainly because the painter is dead and the long-term appreciation potential of the work is very promising."

Kitahara Shuji immediately liked Suzuki Noki, and felt as if he had met a soulmate. However, he began to feel that the painter's profession was not good. After selling the paintings, if the buyers were all Suzuki Fairies, he expected

Do you want him to die soon? If he doesn't die, he will be cursed to death.

Suzuki Noki smiled at him, and led him to the other side, away from the modern works. This time Kitahara Shuji could understand it more or less, but it was more to listen to Suzuki Noki's explanation of the fairy's

In life, she is basically equivalent to a useless person, lazy, greedy, and has countless problems, but you have to admit that she knows a lot about everything, and it is quite interesting to be with her.

The two wandered around for a while. Kitahara Shuji was satisfied with his "eyes", then he looked at his watch and suggested to Suzuki Noki: "It's almost time, why don't you go back and review your homework?"

Suzuki Noki didn't want to fight with him now, so she said obediently: "Okay, listen to Mr. Kitahara... Can I help you with your studies? I'm very good at studying."

"That's fine, as long as I don't miss your business." Kitahara Shuji had no objection. Suzuki Noki was very good at studying and her brain was very useful.

Suzuki Nozomi was very happy: "I have nothing to do, so let them wait in advance. The most important thing is to accompany Mr. Kitahara!"

Kitahara Xiuji sighed: "It would be nice if you could say less crazy things." But that's okay. At least this goblin has been very restrained during this period and has not lied or deceived anyone again. You can't ask too much of a person. If this goblin remains in the future,

This level is barely acceptable.

Suzuki Noki didn't care about Kitahara Shuji's complaints, and walked away with her hands behind her back. As soon as she turned out of a corridor, she felt Kitahara Shuji stretched out his hand to gently pull her, and hurriedly hid behind Kitahara Hideji. She hid behind Kitahara Hideji for safety.

, the third floor was cleared again, and the person who suddenly came up was very likely to be an enemy. As long as Kitahara Hideji judged that there was danger, he would be responsible for killing her on the spot.

Fortunately, the man knew how to count, so he greeted me from afar: "Miss, there is something urgent."

Suzuki Noki looked over and saw that it was the housekeeper Aomikawa. She was quite relieved about this person. After all, she had followed her grandparents since she was twenty years old and had served the Izumi Suzuki family for more than forty years. She was loyal and reliable, and it was not easy for her to rush into it at ordinary times.

The old man's attitude was too stiff, so he walked out again, stood next to Kitahara Hideji and asked: "What happened? Why didn't you call me?"

"The president seems to be dying..." Qingmuchuan came closer and said this in a low voice, while Suzuki Noki was stunned and couldn't help but beam with joy. I guess she could be so happy when she heard that her biological father was going to die.

Such a person.

Aoki Chuan pretended not to see it, lowered his head and got closer, feeling very heavy in his heart, and whispered: "The old lady told me one thing before she died, and asked me to wait until the eldest lady returns to control the Fire and Earth Society.

Let me tell you, I feel like now is the time. Is it convenient for you, Miss?"

Suzuki Noki was a little surprised. Is there any secret in the family that she doesn't know? She immediately said: "It's convenient, just tell me."

Aomikawa didn't say anything, but turned his head slightly and glanced at Kitahara Hideji. Kitahara Hideji hesitated for a moment, understanding that the old man was afraid that the secret would be heard by outsiders. This was quite normal, but he just didn't know whether he should leave Suzuki Noki.

around.

Suzuki Noki particularly believed in him: "Kitahara is not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if he just says it."

Kitahara Shuji's scalp felt numb for a while. It was good to trust him. He would be worthy of this trust. It is true that he would not harm Suzuki Noki, but he was not an outsider, could he be an insider? That's not right!

Qingmuchuan lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, then insisted: "I'm sorry, miss, I was told that I can only tell the miss to one person."

Suzuki Noki was not sure what was going on, and Aomikawa was a loyal servant of the family. She had watched her since she was a child, and she was one of the most trustworthy people besides Kitahara Hideji. After thinking about it, she signaled Kitahara Hideji to stay away first.

If he really wants to know something, tell him later.

Kitahara Shuji didn't want to be this "wife" at first. After getting in touch with him during this period, he felt good about this old loyal servant. He walked a little further away without paying attention to eavesdropping. He looked at him very ethically.

There is a black pottery tea bowl placed in the corridor. It seems that this thing is not cheap. The Izumi Suzuki family has accumulated more than ten generations, from a small local wealthy family to the overlord of the economic circle in Guanzhong, and their accumulation is not ordinary.

"Can we talk now? What words did my grandmother leave?" Suzuki Nozomi was still looking at Kitahara Hideji, and she wanted to go over and discuss the tea bowl with him, but Aomikawa took two steps closer, lowered his head and said inaudibly:

"The old lady said..."

As he spoke, he took out a small revolver from his pocket and fired two shots at Suzuki Nozomi. 2k Reading Network
