Chapter 468 What is my cousin looking at?
Yun Chu ate slowly and leisurely, and no one could tell that she had murderous intent in her heart.
Although the protagonist has not arrived yet, the dance floor has already been flooded with men and women in gorgeous clothes, a scene of debauchery and extravagance.
Yun Chu sat on the sofa again with cakes in her hand, watching the dance party with indifference in her heart. She had clearly come to the 1940s when people were killing each other like crazy and wars were raging everywhere, but at this moment she was sitting on the sofa eating high-end cakes and listening to elegant music.
There seemed to be a barrier here that no one could see, separating the refugees from Kyushu from the enjoyment of the invaders.
After a while, Tachibana Hirotoshi came down from the stairs, and walking side by side with him were a few other people, all of whom had serious and cold expressions.
It was clearly a high-class dance, but the appearance of these people added a sense of danger to the atmosphere.
They didn't stop and went straight to the entrance of Shangfeng Hall. Yun Chu looked at them again and asked, "Have the Fujiwara clan's people arrived? Father and his men are going to pick them up?"
The adjutant didn't say anything, and Yun Chu didn't care. While they were waiting, the people in the dance floor dispersed. They all tidied up their appearance and stood on both sides of the red carpet, forming a very noble welcoming team.
Yun Chu looked at it in amazement again. It seemed that the Fujiwara family had a very special status in Japan.
Yes, even the death of a colonel in the gendarmerie headquarters failed to prevent this misunderstanding, which shows their strength.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly a commotion at the door, and then the people who had gone out to greet them came back. However, there were a few more people among the crowd. They stood in the middle, accepting the admiring gazes from all directions with calm expressions.
Leading the group were a man and a woman, who were slightly older and should be the most senior people in the Fujiwara clan.
Tachibana Hirotoshi was standing aside, chatting and laughing with the two of them. Behind him, Yun Chu also saw Tachibana Kawana.
She must have come in a hurry, and there was still a slight blush on her face. I don't know if it was because her makeup was too heavy or she ran too fast, but she finally made it in time to greet the Fujiwara family's people, otherwise Tachibana Hirotomo would probably be very annoyed.
Yun Chu shifted his gaze again and continued to look back, and saw a young man behind the Fujiwara couple.
He was not particularly good-looking, but his words and actions were steady, and his emotions were controlled just right. He looked like an heir trained by a large family, and this quality was related to his temperament, and was quite remarkable.
If Tachibana Kawana were to marry him, they would be a perfect match and it wouldn't be unfair to her. Unfortunately, now that she has come to Shanghai, the marriage might become a mess before it can even take place. It's a pity to think about it.
Yun Chu's lips curved slightly again, and he stuffed the pastries into his mouth leisurely.
The adjutant bowed his head respectfully, not daring to look directly at her, so he just watched Miss Ayaka sitting on the sofa eating a plate of sweet pastries bite by bite. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he leaned over and whispered, "Miss Ayaka, stand up."
Yun Chu put the plate down again, patted the pastry crumbs on his hands, and stood up.
Perhaps she was the only one in the whole place who moved slowly, so even in the corner, she was very eye-catching. The young man behind the Fujiwara couple turned his gaze over, and when he saw Yun Chu clearly, he narrowed his eyes, but did not make any unnecessary movements.
Yun Chu gave him another timid smile, then lowered his head with an indifferent look.
When Fujiwara Osamu looked at Yun Chuyou, a casual voice sounded: "What are you looking at, cousin?"
Fujiwara Osamu paused, looked back, and said calmly, "Nothing."
As the group was talking, they had already arrived at the center of the stage. As the host, Tachibana Hirotomo stepped forward and said a few polite words, all of which were useless official language. The meaning of his words was that they welcomed the Fujiwara clan to Kyushu from afar and that they would definitely entertain them well.
As the music became melodious again, the welcoming ceremony ended and everyone rushed to the dance floor again.
As for tonight's distinguished guests, they naturally need someone to entertain them.
The adjutant left for a moment, then came back soon and said to Yun Chu, "Ms. Ayaka, the section chief asked you to come over."
Yun Chu paused again, raised his eyes and looked at the adjutant: "Me? Are you sure?"
The person who married into the Fujiwara family was Tachibana Kawana, not her, so why asked her to go there?
The adjutant nodded and said, "Please come in, Ms. Ayaka. The section chief and Mr. Fujiwara are waiting."
Yun Chu's eyes flickered again, and without saying anything else, she stood up and followed the adjutant. When she got closer, she saw the Fujiwara couple and Tachibana Hirotoshi. The three of them were talking about something, and when the adjutant brought her over, they all stopped talking at the same time.
"Is this your little daughter, Ayaka?" Mrs. Fujiwara's eyes lit up when she saw Yun Chuyou. She walked forward, took Yun Chuyou's hand, and looked around. Although her eyes were gentle, it seemed more like she was looking at a piece of merchandise.
Yun Chu lowered his eyes again and politely greeted the few people. Tachibana Hirotoshi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It is my daughter. She has lived in Kyushu since she was a child and has learned a lot about Kyushu culture. It seems that Fujiwara-kun is very interested in Kyushu culture?"
Mrs. Fujiwara paused, pulled Fujiwara Osamu over, and said to him, "Indeed."
Fujiwara Osamu looked at Yun Chu a few more times. His eyes no longer had the curiosity he had when they first met, but were very indifferent.
He politely nodded to Yun Chu again without even saying anything. Mrs. Fujiwara was embarrassed for a moment, and looked around and asked, "Where is Kawana? We just came in together, how come she disappeared when I turned around?"
Tachibana Hirotoshi frowned slightly, but quickly concealed it and sighed, "Last night, Colonel Sawano of the Military Police Headquarters was assassinated. The matter was handed over to Shangfengtang to investigate. It was Kawana who was in charge. She didn't rest all night because of this matter."
Yun Chu looked up at him again and thought to himself, this statement can only fool the Fujiwara couple.
She just clearly saw that as soon as she entered the venue, Tachibana Kawana was pulled away by Nagasawa Yuzuki. From this point of view, Tachibana Kawana may not be without feelings for him. She may not be willing to accept this marriage with the Fujiwara family, which is why she let Nagasawa Yuzuki go.
Unfortunately, for someone like Tachibana Hirotoshi, he naturally has to choose a high branch to climb.
Although Nagasawa Yuzuki also came from a prominent family and his father was the head of the intelligence department of Shofudo, he and Tachibana Kawana were well matched, but the Tachibana family had always maintained a good relationship with the Fujiwara family, and this time they were marrying into a direct lineage, so how could they let it go?
"Shanghai is already our Japanese territory. These Kyushu people are still too reckless. Colonel Nozawa is a hero of the empire. He was rashly killed by the Kyushu people. We need to use swift and decisive means to teach them a lesson!"
Mr. Fujiwara, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. His expression was serious and he glanced at Tachibana Hirotomo with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Tachibana Hirotoshi smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency Fujiwara is right."
He bowed and apologized, and continued, "Don't worry, sir. When Colonel Nozawa was assassinated last night, we quickly surrounded the scene and did not let anyone who was there go. They have been detained and are being interrogated. There will be a result soon."
