"It's better to go back and discuss it with my father, it's not a trivial matter, I don't dare to make a decision without permission, after all, it's too big now that the Kanagawa family dare to hire from the killer list." Feishu shook her head, she didn't even know how to come to a decision.
Chen Ge did not say anything.
It was close to noon when the four of them arrived at the Futaba family's estate.
Takuya's secretary had already waited outside to greet them, only this time after they returned. Chen Ge did not sense anyone crouching nearby.
"Miss Feisu, Mr. Chen Ge, please come in quickly, the master is waiting inside!" The secretary said hurriedly as she took the things that Fei Shuo was carrying in her hand.
Walking into the manor, Takuya Futaba was sitting in the parlour, and when he saw someone enter, he stood up in a hurry.
"Come on in, I've asked the family to prepare a meal, these two young brothers are guests when they arrive, treat this place as if it were your own home, there's no need to be formal. Feel free to sit down and wait a while before you eat!" Futaba Takuya's eyes scanned over the oni and Bai Xiaofei for a moment, but quickly returned to Chen Ge.
"Father, I have a situation to talk to you about." Just as he entered, Fei Fei said in a rush.
"Oh? What is it?" Takuya hurriedly looked at his daughter.
"Nothing, it's just a little matter, it's better to talk about it after we have eaten!" Before Feishuo could continue, Chen Ge interrupted even before he could say anything else.
Dinner was going to be served in a while. If he told them now, he would definitely not be able to eat well, so he might as well wait until after dinner, it wasn't that bad for such a short while.
"Well, a little thing." Fei Shuo swallowed the words he was about to say back inside his stomach.
"Then let's talk about it after dinner, I just changed the chef two days ago, now the Chinese chef is in charge of the kitchen, later a few brothers will try to see if the food is to their liking!" Takuya didn't take this seriously, he was very happy to have Chen Ge at home now.
"Yes, yes!" Chen Ge laughed, not being affected by the negativity at all.
Just laughing and chatting, half an hour passed quickly, and several of the family's maids headed inside to bring the meal.
"Sit down all, there are no rules in our house. Since you are friends of Mr. Chen Ge, you are naturally friends of our Futaba family, except that a little something has happened to our family recently, otherwise we would let you stay here for a few days and send someone to show you a good time!"
Takuya was still in a good mood, but before the words left his mouth, his tone lowered a little, he didn't dare to leave these two people in the family now, if anything happened, he simply couldn't afford the responsibility.
"By the way Clan Chief Takuya, there happens to be a small matter to talk to you about, these two friends of mine will be staying here for the time being, I still need to trouble you to arrange two guest rooms, just a little closer to me."
Chen Ge picked up Takuya's words in time.
"But brother Chen Ge, you are not unaware of our family's recent situation, if we let them stay, in case ......" Takuya's face showed a difficult look.
"Not letting them stay is what is most dangerous." Chen Ge smiled and waved his hand, saying easily, "Don't worry. I will ensure their safety, even if something happens I will take the blame, it has nothing to do with your Futaba family!"
"Alright, since you asked. Then I'll agree to it!" Takuya hesitated for a moment, but chose to listen to Chen Ge, "You go and pack two guest rooms, ones that are closer to Mr. Chen Ge!"
"Understood!" The secretary nodded. Immediately, he walked out of the meeting room.
Soon, a dozen of Chinese dishes were brought up, except for a plate of chicken and a plate of fish, all were relatively ordinary home-cooked meals, but the taste and appearance were very good, and at first glance, they were at the very least of the standard of a hotel chef.
"Come on, taste the food to your liking!" Takuya handed out chopsticks to everyone and said with a smile, "I'm not going to lie, I've grown to like Chinese food since Chen Ge lived here, when Fei Shuo told me about it before. I'm still not quite used to it."
"I have long said that Chinese rice is the best food in this world!" Fei Shuo said contentedly.
The crowd ate their meals and no one continued to speak.
Soon, the meal was eaten up. Takuya ordered his underlings to remove the bowls and plates, and brought up the teapot of boiling water.
"Rice money, you guys said there was something to tell me, now that we've all had enough to eat and drink, can you tell me now?" Takuya said as he scanned the crowd.
"I've been assassinated by an assassin on the hit list and most likely hired by the Kanagawa family." Chen Ge took the bowl of tea handed over by Takuya and said indifferently.
"What?!" Hearing those words. Takuya's hand shivered and almost even dropped the teapot on the floor, he immediately got up and slapped the table violently. In a low voice, he questioned.
"Patriarch don't get excited yet, it's not necessarily the Kanagawa family's handiwork yet, I'm just guessing so." Chen Ge frowned slightly.
"How can you not get excited about this, the two men who assassinated you last time are still being held inside the clan!" Takuya took a few long breaths.
"By the way, I already know their identities, they are Izumo and Endo of the Kawauchi family, sent by the head of their family's assassin group, Kawauchi Ryugu, as to whether they were instructed by the Kanagawa family. It's not certain yet." Chen Ge suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly spoke to Takuya.
"An assassin from the Kawauchi family?" Takuya's face became even more ugly.
The two families had been at peace for hundreds of years, and now in just less than a month, first they sent someone to kill their own daughter. And then he sent someone to the family to commit murder, and both times it was fortunate that Chen Ge had acted in time, otherwise his daughter would not be alive now.
"I suspect that the Kawauchi family may have been instructed by the Kanagawa family, the assassin who assassinated me this time is most likely a killer on the hit list, and the Kawauchi family would certainly not do that, the only one who could possibly do that is the Kanagawa family."
"So I would like to ask Patriarch Takuya, how do you want to resolve this matter?"
Chen Ge took a sip of tea and looked at Futaba Takuya.
"I have to think about this one too before I can do so, after all it is not a trivial matter, and if we make a hasty decision it will harm us."
Takuya sat back in his chair and frowned as he began to think, he was tempted to just pick a fight with the Kanagawa and Kawauchi families. Try it out hard with them.
But he also knew that once that happened, even with Chen Ge's help, he would only be able to protect his daughter's safety. That family was definitely no match for the other side, and if they just held back, they would definitely end up being eaten away by the other side bit by bit.
"What do you think, Chen Ge?" Takuya was a little helpless.
"I can take care of the Kanagawa family first. The Kawauchi family will have to be put aside, they have quite a few assassins in their family, even if I could take care of it, it would take time." What Chen Ge was waiting for, was this statement from Takuya.
