Chapter 1171: A Clue Appears
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’ve already checked, but 1 can’t find anything.” Caie Mitsui said,
“This matter has caused considerable damage to the Mitsui family. Even 1 was reprimanded.”
“Aren’t you going to pursue the matter? That doesn’t sound like the Mitsui family.”
“There’s nothing we can do even if we wanted to.”
“Why won’t you try to bait him out?”
“Do you think he’ll wait like a sitting duck?” Caie Mitsui asked. “1 believe that’s the idiom you are referring to.”
“Didn’t you stay in Huaxia for a few years? Why don’t you even know this idiom?”
Caie Mitsui smiled. “I’ve been back for many years. I can’t remember some of the details.”
“I think you can plan another deal. You might lure the other party out if you do that.”
After laying the groundwork for so long, Lin Yi began his own probing.
If the Mitsui family really had such thoughts, then the person they were trading with must be someone from the Black Gold Corporation.
If they didn’t have such thoughts, then he would be back at square one.
“That’s indeed a solution. We were thinking of doing that, but we gave up in the end.”
“Any particular reason?”
“Firstly, we don’t have any bargaining chips left. Secondly, if we try this, what if the other party really comes? If that happens, we will be in trouble.”
Caie Mitsui drove and said,
“Moreover, I feel that the other party must know my identity since he dared to attack me. Even so, he still dared to attack. I believe he’s not afraid of the Mitsui family.”
Lin Yi leaned back in his chair and nodded in agreement.
“The man in black is so awesome. He’s naturally not afraid of you.”
At this moment, both of them had their own thoughts.
Mitsui Ayae could confirm that the person who secretly took away the Bass Ore was not from the Black Gold Corporation, but she still had some clues to work with.
Yushi Mitsui was their biggest suspect.
Ever since Ito Mitsui died, he had left to establish his own sect.
He had also mastered half of the core technology and even the completed gene sequence serum.
Therefore, he was the person most likely to be pulling strings in the dark.
However, there was no evidence of this, so he could not make any rash assertions.
“Alright, it’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Caie Mitsui smiled and said,
“Is there anywhere you want to go? I can be your free tour guide and show you around Toyo, but there’s nothing fun here. It’s all modern. If your time permits, I can show you Mount Huji.”
“There’s no hurry. The company has a trip to Mount Huji in a few days, so I won’t trouble you today.”
At this point, Lin Yi had already lost interest in continuing the conversation with Caie Mitsui.
From her words, he could tell that they had not had any business dealings with Black Gold Corporation recently.
In other words, they had no intention of making a deal.
If the man in black did not appear, then the Bass ore that he snatched from
Team 1 was very likely still in Jeffrey’s hands.
In theory, this should still be a possibility.
After understanding the situation, Lin Yi felt much more relaxed. He even felt that this trip was no longer important.
He wanted to go home and continue selling fruits.
“Do you want to visit the Mitsui family’s company?” Caie Mitsui smiled and said, “Just treat it as an inspection. Perhaps we can work together in the future.”
“Let’s go. I have nothing to do anyway.”
Lin Yi was still a loyal person.
Although Caie Mitsui was no longer useful, he still had to show her some respect.
Ring ring ring!
Caie Mitsui’s phone rang at this moment.
Lin Yi looked at the caller’s name. It was her secretary and assistant, Yoshida Higashino.
“What is it?”
“Miss Mitsui, we found that the people from the Black Gold Corporation are here in Tokyo.”
“What did you say?! Their people are here?!”
Caie Mitsui stepped on the brakes and almost launched Lin Yi out the front window.
