Chapter 805 Suzuki Jirokichi: I see, so it's the Public Security Bureau...
As Suzuki Jirokichi said this, he stretched out his left hand and waved it to the side...
Not far away, a maid dressed in a butler's uniform hurried over and handed Suzuki Jirokichi a newspaper...
This is today's freshly released daily sales report....................................
Without even glancing at it, Suzuki Jirokichi immediately handed the Daily Mail to Suzuki Sonoko..............................
A smug smile unconsciously crept onto his face.........................
"Just watch,"
Suzuki Jirokichi said with a light laugh,
"This morning's newspaper must have featured my challenge to Phantom Thief Kid on the front page................................."
"Using the 'Super Gem—'The Lady of the Sky' as bait, coupled with the top-notch news appeal of Phantom Thief Kid, and our Suzuki family's latest super sky airship................................"
"Each one of these is enough to make headlines, let alone all of them combined..."
Suzuki Jirokichi spoke with absolute certainty and brimming with confidence............................
Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki unconsciously nodded in agreement...
Indeed, my uncle is right. All these things combined could easily make it onto Toutiao (a Chinese news and information platform)...
only..................................
"Uncle Jirokichi,"
Sonoko Suzuki spoke hesitantly, pointing one finger to the front page of the newspaper.
"But today's headlines seem to be about a research institute being robbed and then maliciously set on fire..."
"what?!"
Jirokichi Suzuki's confident smile instantly froze.
His face darkened. Despite being over seventy years old, he still moved with lightning speed, snatching the newspaper from Suzuki Sonoko's hands...
"Impossible, absolutely impossible..................................."
As Suzuki Jirokichi rapidly scanned the newspaper, he muttered to himself.
"My challenge, my super gem, my super airship................................"
"Plus that despicable thief, how could I possibly not make the headlines? How could I possibly not make the headlines.................................."
He looked like a gambler who had lost a lot of money, appearing deranged and with a distorted face.
Yes, it startled Sonoko Suzuki.............................
She turned her head and looked at her elderly father, Suzuki Shiro, the meaning in her eyes quite clear—
Uncle Jirokichi, what happened to you.............................
Shiro Suzuki twitched the corner of his mouth.
Your Uncle Jirokichi has always been like this; you just hadn't noticed before..........................
That makes sense, given the Suzuki family's power and Jirokichi Suzuki's incredible willpower and relentless effort towards a goal, making headlines wouldn't be difficult at all...
However, he recently miscalculated...
Well, it's not just once or twice that I've miscalculated; that's a bit pathetic...
"How could this be? How could this be? How could this be..................................."
Jirokichi Suzuki was still muttering to himself.
Sonoko Suzuki, also somewhat curious, couldn't resist leaning closer to examine the news report more closely...
"The research institute was robbed; the terrifying, deadly bacteria inside have vanished. The robber gang has made a public statement..."
As Sonoko Suzuki watched, she summarized the contents and read them aloud...
After reading it, she immediately understood—
Uncle Jirokichi's loss this time was truly well-deserved.
Although a research institute being robbed, or even bombed, would be big news, it certainly can't compare to the countless fans of the Phantom Thief Kid. But............................
With the addition of this killer bacterium, the outcome is completely reversed—
Once this happened, everyone in Tokyo was on edge!
It's likely that no one would be uninterested in this kind of thing; Nichiri TV will definitely rush to report it as soon as possible, and no one can stop them..................................
"Damn robbers!"
Jirokichi Suzuki crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball.
His face flushed red, he was panting heavily, and angrily threw the newspaper on the ground. Still seemingly unsatisfied, he stomped on it several more times…
"My super gem, my super airship, my news headlines.............................."
"It's all because of you terrorists!"
"I***********"
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah............................
Suzuki Jirokichi cursed for quite a while before finally calming down.................................
He shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it.
I've done my best, but not getting the top spot is really unavoidable. Sometimes, man proposes, God disposes...
However, as long as I successfully capture Phantom Thief Kid later, I'm sure I'll be able to reclaim the headlines...
Definitely!
Suzuki Jirokichi mentally encouraged himself..............................
As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Sonoko Suzuki, and smiled at her.
"Okay, let's not talk about this damn headline anymore."
"In a couple of days, I will be traveling by airship, joining Gem in departing from Tokyo..."
"Yuanzi, would you like to come along?"
"Your relatives and friends, and your little sweetheart, you can all come along. Your uncle will welcome everyone..."
"Forehead............................"
Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up when she heard Jirokichi Suzuki's words.
However, she hesitated for a moment, glanced at her elderly father, and weakly raised her hand.
"Uncle Jirokichi, when exactly are you setting off?"
"If it were during class time, I might................................"
"July 28th,"
Jirokichi Suzuki smiled and said to Sonoko Suzuki,
"I already checked the time; you don't have classes then..."
"Ok!"
Sonoko Suzuki did a quick mental calculation and realized that it was indeed the case.
So she nodded excitedly and emphatically.
"I'm going! I'm going!"
"I'll talk to Xiaolan, Mr. Yin, and I about it then!"
"Haha, no problem, no problem,"
Jirokichi Suzuki laughed and started teasing again.
"When the time comes, you'll have to properly introduce me to your sweetheart, okay..................................."
"Mmmmmmm!"
Sonoko Suzuki nodded repeatedly.
However, after the initial excitement wore off, she suddenly began to hesitate again...
"Xiaolan and I definitely have time, it's just.................."
"I wonder if Mr. Yin has the time............................."
"Ok?"
As Suzuki Jirokichi listened, Sonoko Suzuki muttered to herself, unconsciously frowning slightly.
"Is your little lover very busy?"
"You can't even spare a day to spend with your girlfriend?"
If it were just a date with his girlfriend, that would be fine, but this time he also has to meet his uncle!
Suzuki Jirokichi thought to himself.
Being with Sonoko Suzuki means she's definitely interested in the Suzuki Group, and might even become its next leader...
I'm a senior advisor to the conglomerate, the kind who holds shares; it's only fair that they should meet with me.
"I...I don't know if Mr. Yin has time,"
Sonoko Suzuki poked her hand and pouted.
"Mr. Yin's work is quite confidential, and I don't know much about his job duties and environment..."
"All I know is that he has a lot of work and often needs to travel all over the world..."
"Relatively confidential?"
Suzuki Jirokichi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Is the nature of their work something that even the Suzuki Group needs to keep secret?
Could it be..................................
Thinking this, Suzuki Jirokichi immediately glanced at Suzuki Shiro.
Shiro Suzuki naturally knew what his older brother was thinking, but he said nothing, only giving Jirokichi Suzuki a slight smile.
Jirokichi Suzuki immediately understood, looking like he knew what he meant...
So you're a police officer...
From this perspective, being a little busy is understandable............................
Moreover, such a person is ruthless and merciless; once they become skilled enough, managing the Suzuki family shouldn't be a problem...
Anyway, my younger brother is still young; he can work for several more decades without any problem. After that, I'll be long gone, so it's not my place to worry about him...
