Chapter 418 Tokiwa Mio: Too Sudden!
The Next Day.
Doctor Agasa took the Junior Detective League out camping.
That night, Haibara Ai left the camping tent again and made a Phone Call.
“Tomorrow we might go to the Twin Towers Building in West Tama City...”
“Of course, Detective Boy will also go...”
“He won’t go. We saw the Twin Towers Building on the way and decided to check it out on a whim...”
On a Street in Tokyo.
Vodka hung up the Phone Call, turned his head to Gin who was driving, and said, “Boss, I understand completely... The Twin Towers Building in West Tama City, it seems to be known as the place closest to heaven...”
“Hmph, excellent...” Gin, with a cigarette in his mouth, raised the corner of his lips in a cold smile, “Perfect to use as an execution platform closest to heaven... Call Raki!”
Tokyo, Beihu Town.
On the balcony of the Apartment Building on the 11th Floor. Chi Feichei stood by the balcony Railing, listening to the Phone Call, looking down at the traffic on the Street below, the corner of his lips slightly raised, “Confirmed?”
“Uh, yeah,” Vodka on the other end felt Chi Feichei’s voice was eerily soft, “The computer intrusion came from the Twin Towers Skyscraper in West Tama City, it’s that Fellow Yuan Jiaming, Boss told me to Call you...”
“Speakerphone.” Gin said.
“Oh, okay...” Vodka turned on the Speakerphone.
“Tomorrow, are we acting separately or going together?” Gin asked directly.
“Acting separately,” Chi Feichei continued to stare at the city below the balcony, “I want to meet that very courageous Hacker Mr. first...”
Gin noticed a trace of unusual, suppressed anticipation in Chi Feichei’s calm tone, and reminded, “Don’t overdo it. If you alarm him, things will become very Troublesome...”
“Don’t worry, I’m just a Guest of the Chairman of Tokiwa Group.”
… The Next Day, 9 AM. In front of the Twin Towers Skyscraper, a Group of people waited quietly.
A blue Car drove up, slowed down, and slowly stopped at the Entrance.
The Woman at the front of the Crowd was wearing a red women's Suit, her short hair dyed Golden, a strand of Bangs falling in front of her forehead, her Eyes bright and smiling, looking fashionable, capable, and yet Femininity. Seeing the Middle-aged Man getting out of the Passenger Seat, she led people forward with a smile to greet him, “Mr. Oyama, welcome.”
“President Tokiwa, long time no see.” Oyama Miya also greeted with a smile, without rushing to exchange pleasantries, he turned his head to look at Yingqu Yan Nan who got out of the Car Rear Seat.
Yingqu Yan Nan was wearing a stiff Black Suit and Sunglasses, completely dressed as a cool Bodyguard. After getting out of the Car, he stood sideways by the Car Door.
The Woman turned her head and saw a tall and slender Young Man getting out of the Car, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The Young Man's Expression under his fragmented hair was indifferent, a pair of Purple Eyes without any Emotion, reflecting the Sunshine coming from the side, like cold, temperatureless Purple Jewels.
The only son of the Chairman of Shinchi Group and Field Group!
Tokiwa Group has some Cooperation with these two Groups.
After Tokiwa Group entered the Computer Industry, they purchased a large number of Equipment produced by Shinchi Group. There was Connection, but it was not close.
Field Group is the Investor of many Projects of Tokiwa Group, and also Tokiwa Group's Overseas Partner. Many Game Equipment they developed before were provided with Overseas Sales Channel by Fielder.
In the Guest List for the Opening Ceremony of their Tokiwa Group next week, Chi Shinnosuke, Chi Kana, and Chi Feichei were all on it, and Invitation Letter had also been sent out, but she didn't expect this family of three to come. The first two were not even in Japan, and the latter rarely attended any Banquet.
Compared to the Young Masters and Young Misses of other Groups and financial groups, there were really not many people who knew Chi Feichei, and he was considered a very mysterious Young Master.
Actually, she had never officially met him. She had only seen Chi Feichei following Chi Shinnosuke at a Banquet four years ago, and recognized Chi Feichei's Identity by looking at his Eyes.
Regarding the attendance next week, she felt that Oyama Miya, the Person in Charge of Shinchi Group Tokyo, would come, while Field Group did not have much development in Tokyo. Plus, considering the Relationship between the Chairmans of the two Groups, she guessed that Oyama Miya would send a Blessing on their behalf. As for the family of three, she had not expected them.
And early this morning, Oyama Miya Called her, saying that he wanted to come over for a visit in advance, and she readily agreed, but she never expected...
Chi Feichei would actually run over with Oyama Miya!
Moreover, the most frightening thing was Young Master Chi's Black Tailcoat.
Black Tailcoat in Britain is mostly Formal Wear for grand occasions, and whether it's the triangular wide-folded high lapel or the three silver-wrapped buttons on each side, they are all the most traditional British Style. In addition, with the English Language Family Crest 'Field' embroidered on the neckline, it was simply overly solemn.
Originally thought it was Partner Oyama Miya who was curious to visit, maybe there was some Cooperation they wanted to discuss, but this Stance...
Is today Young Master Chi here to inspect the Cooperation Project on behalf of Field Group?
A surprise Inspection? Or is there some emergency Situation on Field Group's side?
Too sudden!
“Young Master Hissashi, this is the Chairman of Tokiwa Group, Miss Tokiwa Mio,” Oyama Miya introduced softly to Chi Feichei, and then said to Tokiwa Mio, “President Tokiwa, this is the only son of our Chairman and also the Advisor of our Shinchi Group. Today, I am actually accompanying him to visit.”
Tokiwa Mio regained her thoughts, smiled and bowed, “Welcome, it is my honor that you can come to visit.”
“Miss Tokiwa, hello, I am Chi Feichei.”
Chi Feichei listened to Tokiwa Mio's soft and slow voice, feeling helpless in his heart.
Guess she thought of his Old Mom.
Just like Jodie and his Teasing that day, American People are more enthusiastic, while British People prefer quietness.
Many successful businesswomen seem to take his Old Mom as their idol, and when facing him, they will subconsciously make their Voice soft, slow, and clear.
And according to British etiquette to reciprocate, Tokiwa Mio, as a Female, did not Reach Out first, so he could not take the initiative to offer a handshake either, just standing there, feeling a bit awkward.
“This is my Bodyguard, Yingqu.”
“Hello.” Yingqu Yan Nan greeted with a serious face.
“Hello,” Tokiwa Mio straightened up, turned her head to look at the bald and stout Man behind her, “Then let me also introduce, this is Councilor Oki Iwamatsu from West Tama City...”
Oki Iwamatsu smiled and Reached Out to shake hands with Chi Feichei, “Hello.”
“This is Architect Kazama Hidehiko Mr....”
The Young Man also shook hands with Chi Feichei, “Hello.”
“This is my Secretary, Miss Sawaguchi Chinami.”
The young Female Secretary bowed, “Mr. Chi, hello.”
Actually, apart from the Secretary, the other two people didn't need to follow Tokiwa Mio down at all. The reason they followed was probably to get to know Oyama Miya and expand their Connections.
Chi Feichei and Oyama Miya knew this very well, and there was no need to point it out. It was a good thing for both sides to get to know each other.
“Because I mentioned Tokiwa Group's Opening Ceremony to Young Master Hissashi a few days ago, Young Master Hissashi said he wanted to Check out the Twin Towers Building from a high place,” Oyama Miya said with a smile, “But he was not sure if he would have time to come on the day of the Opening Ceremony, so I brought him here in advance. It was probably because I nagged a few words in the morning about preparing Formal Wear for Young Master Hissashi, which annoyed him, so he specially picked the Formal Dress that Mrs. Kana sent him from Britain. When I went to pick him up, I was also taken aback!”
This also meant that the two of them were purely here to Play, nothing serious, don't be restrained.
“I was still thinking whether I should change into more Formal Clothes, but now it seems No Need,” Tokiwa Mio chuckled, “Please come with me, I will take you two to Check it out...”
Before entering the Building, Chi Feichei suddenly whispered to Oyama Miya, “Take some time to Call and ask what Projects Field Group has invested in.”
Oyama Miya was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously.
In fact, what Chi Feichei told him last night was—he heard that there were unreleased Games here, and wanted to try them out.
However, for the Face of his own Young Master, he said that he wanted to Look at the Scenery at the top of the Building.
Now it seems, Young Master is probably not here to Play, but to secretly Inspect!
Several people entered the Building and toured all the way. In addition, with Kazama Hidehiko, the Building Designer, by their side, the most they talked about was the Twin Towers Building.
Midway, Oyama Miya went to make a Phone Call, Asked about the specific Investment Projects of Field Group, and sent the content as a Text Message to Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei Looked at it and felt relieved in his heart.
There was no Investment in the Twin Towers Building. The previous Project had ended, and the new Project had not yet started. There were some scattered Investments left.
Even if the Building was bombed, there wouldn't be much loss.
He was really worried that his wave here would cause Field Group to lose too much.
When they arrived at the Rooftop Banquet Hall on the 75th Floor, Yingqu Yan Nan whispered a few words to Chi Feichei in a low voice. After Chi Feichei nodded, he said he needed to go to the Restroom, Asked about the Location of the Restroom, and after going to the Restroom and confirming that no one else would enter the Restroom, he made a Phone Call.
“Hello... The Server Room of Tokiwa Group is on the 40th Floor of Tower A. Tokiwa Group's Data are all stored inside...”
“Electrical Room? It’s on Basement Level 4, responsible for the power supply of Tower A, but Tower A has a Backup Power Supply, and it’s not clear where it is...”
“The Security Force of the Electrical Room is not clear. We didn't go to Basement Level 4. The Server Room almost doesn't allow Outsiders to enter casually on any Floor. Yes, Security Guard are arranged in the Rooms entering the Floor. I roughly looked at the Security Arrangement at the Corridor Entrance, and the Situation is roughly...”
“Beep.”
Hanging up the Phone Call, Yingqu Yan Nan left the Restroom and went to the Banquet Hall to find Chi Feichei, nodded slightly to Chi Feichei who was talking to Tokiwa Mio, indicating that he had made the Phone Call.
“Can I go to the Exhibition Hall to Check it out?” Chi Feichei asked.
They only provided a rough layout. As for the specific Situation, Gin's side will arrange people to confirm, so they don't need to take risks.
Then the remaining Time can be used to Play Game...
“Of course,” Tokiwa Mio Looked at the Watch on her wrist, “I’ll Keep Company with you downstairs.”
Other Guests had already seen the Exhibition Hall and didn't keep following, so they stayed Upstairs to talk.
Tokiwa Mio led Chi Feichei, Yingqu Yan Nan, and Oyama Miya to the Exhibition Hall on the second Floor of the Company, and walked towards the Man who was busy in the Exhibition Hall, wearing a brown Suit and round Glasses, “He is Mr. Yuan Jiaming, our Company's Executive Director and Programmer. Yuan, how is the preparation here?”
“Ah, President, it's almost ready...” Yuan Jiaming turned his head, pushed his Glasses, and saw the two people in Black Clothes behind Tokiwa Mio. He was startled in his heart, and then relaxed.
Those Fellows couldn't possibly run over here to kill him so openly and legitimately, right...
Tokiwa Mio introduced Chi Feichei and the other two to Yuan Jiaming, asked Yuan Jiaming to take the three to Check around, and then busied herself going to the Entrance to receive other visiting Guests.
When Yuan Jiaming heard the Identity of the three people, he felt even more that he was overthinking it, and asked with a smile, “Then, what would the three of you like to Check out first? Let me introduce it to you.”
Chi Feichei Looked around at all kinds of novel Game Equipment, “Play them all once.”
Yingqu Yan Nan: “…”
Oyama Miya: “…”
No, they must believe that Chi Feichei came for Serious Business, and Play was just incidental.

The Next Day.
Doctor Agasa took the Junior Detective League out camping.
That night, Haibara Ai left the camping tent again and made a Phone Call.
“Tomorrow we might go to the Twin Towers Building in West Tama City...”
“Of course, Detective Boy will also go...”
“He won’t go. We saw the Twin Towers Building on the way and decided to check it out on a whim...”

“Oh, okay...” Vodka turned on the Speakerphone.
“Tomorrow, are we acting separately or going together?” Gin asked directly.
“Acting separately,” Chi Feichei continued to stare at the city below the balcony, “I want to meet that very courageous Hacker Mr. first...”
Gin noticed a trace of unusual, suppressed anticipation in Chi Feichei’s calm tone, and reminded, “Don’t overdo it. If you alarm him, things will become very Troublesome...”
