Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 280 Naughty_1

Xiao Ming suddenly stood up, "Where is she now? Is she seriously injured?"

"There is no immediate danger to her life. She’s right behind here, please follow me."

Furukawa Shizuka turned around, and Xiao Ming immediately followed.

Watching the two hurriedly leaving figures, the ignored Lu Lichun pursed her lips.

"They get so anxious, yet claim to be indifferent. Humph! Men’s words really can’t be trusted."

Xiao Ming followed Furukawa Shizuka through the side door of the banquet hall, weaving through a deserted corridor for three or four minutes without stopping.

The hem of the furisode kimono is quite small, not conducive to taking large steps, yet Furukawa Shizuka, even wearing tabi socks and wooden sandals, was not slow at all.

Throughout the whole process, Xiao Ming couldn’t hear anything apart from the tap-tap-tap of her footsteps.

Finally, someone appeared ahead, seemingly guarding the door of a room.

Furukawa Shizuka went up, waved her hand, and the person bowed and stepped back two paces.

"Mrs. Ding is inside," she said.

Furukawa Shizuka pushed the door open and went in first.

Xiao Ming’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

This was a sign that there was no problem. The young woman from Fusang seemed young, but was meticulous in her actions, clearly specially trained.

The room appeared to be an archive, not small in size, around eighty or ninety square meters, with four or five rows of metal file cabinets filled with locked drawers.

Furukawa Shizuka walked to the very back of the file cabinets before stopping.

Xiao Ming followed and saw that it was completely empty, except for one drawer that had been pulled out; there was nothing else.

"Where is she?" he asked.

Furukawa Shizuka’s lips curved into a slight smile.

This was the first time Xiao Ming had seen her smile that evening; although beautiful, it gave one chills down the spine.

Because there wasn’t a hint of mirth in the woman’s eyes, like a puppet suddenly showing a bit of expression, super eerie.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Ding is not injured and is perfectly fine."

"Damn! Are you playing me?" Xiao Ming’s eyes bulged out like an idiot, "Bringing me all this way here, what the hell do you want?"

Furukawa Shizuka tilted her head again, "What does Mr. Xiao think I want to do?"

Xiao Ming stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then a sleazy grin spread across his face.

"They say your Fusang women are easygoing, I didn’t believe it at first, thinking that was just in the movies, but Miss Furukawa sure taught me a lesson.

Found a man you fancy at the party and want to have a wonderful affair or something, that’s normal, just say it straight. I’m always willing to help, very agreeable, no need to deceive.

You’re quite naughty!"

Furukawa Shizuka’s lovely smile disappeared, and her pretty face twisted with anger.

"Damn Han Country Swine, daring to indulge in filthy fantasies about Fusang women, you deserve to die!"

She lashed out at Xiao Ming with a swift, practiced move.

Luckily, Xiao Ming was also practiced.

With a simple lean backwards, he dodged Furukawa Shizuka’s small hand, then grabbing her furisode sleeve and pulling it backwards, she couldn’t help but topple forward.

Of course, Xiao Ming wasn’t a lecherous ghost, and he didn’t understand how to treat women with tenderness and care, especially women he had no relation with, so naturally, he didn’t catch her in his arms.

With a muffled thud, Furukawa Shizuka, kicked by him, left the ground and slammed hard against the wall.

But she was tough too, not screaming at all, just letting out a grunt.

"Miss!"

Two men burst in through the door, both clutching guns and shouting loudly in Japanese.

Unfortunately for them, Xiao Ming understood and knew it was not pleasant.

So, he stepped on Furukawa Shizuka’s face and said coldly, "You can start shooting now."

The two men hesitated to act due to fear of harming her, only continuing to shout and curse incessantly.

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes and said to Furukawa Shizuka in a chilly tone, "If you don’t want your facial bones to shatter, I need to see these two men tongueless before the dinner party ends!"

It seemed Furukawa Shizuka was not afraid at all, and she hissed, "Xiao Ming, you’re on your last legs, you don’t have the right to make demands."

"Oh? Tell me, how am I on my last legs?"

"Do you know what this room is used for?"

"What?"

"These cabinets are all filled with the Consulate’s secret files."

Furukawa Shizuka snorted coldly, "Just imagine, if we go public with the fact you sneaked in here trying to steal secrets and use it to negotiate with your country, how long do you think you’d live?"

Xiao Ming’s expression changed slightly, and he withdrew his foot.

Furukawa Shizuka got up from the floor, pulled out her hairpin, letting her already disheveled hair fall completely loose, and with eyes full of malice, she could play Sadako without any makeup.

"You are going to such lengths to frame me, what for?" said Xiao Ming with a grave expression. "It can’t possibly be to avenge the Dong Father and Son, right?"

"They are just two dispensable dogs, they are not worth Miss’s personal attention."

Furukawa Shizuka took a step forward, lifted her head and looked directly into Xiao Ming’s eyes with contempt, "Miss wants to turn you into one of her dogs!"

"You want me to be a spy?" Xiao Ming laughed, "Stop joking. I’m just a businessman, and even the Dong Father and Son have better connections than me, what benefits could I possibly bring you?"

"First answer me, how did you find out about Kobayashi Manami?"

"You used my companion’s injury to trick me; you must have already figured out her identity. Just asked her to check on someone; it’s quite simple."

"So, your value lies right there."

Xiao Ming paused, then burst into hearty laughter.

Furukawa Shizuka’s face darkened, "What are you laughing at?"

"Of course, I’m laughing at you being an idiot!"

Xiao Ming said, "The only reason Ding Jianwei could help me look up someone is that she’s my woman. That doesn’t mean she and I share the same status, you understand?"

"You’re lying! Han Country’s spies are strict with their discipline; how could Ding Jianwei dare to misuse official resources?"

"Because she’s a woman! Women easily get swept away by love; you should understand this very well.

Moreover, I’ve always had my suspicions about Hao Jianwen’s identity, so investigating a spy is completely justified."

Furukawa Shizuka’s face twitched twice, "According to what you’re saying, if I controlled you, wouldn’t that mean indirectly controlling Ding Jianwei?"

Xiao Ming shook his head, "Don’t think so highly of yourself! At most, she’s used her position to help me investigate a business competitor.

Thinking of making a devout person betray their country? That’s daydreaming!"

Finally, Furukawa Shizuka got angry, grabbed his collar, and pulled him down so they were facing each other at close range.

"Even if you’re not from security services, your attempt to manufacture a photolithography machine has brought you in contact with many of Han Country’s top-notch tech secrets.

Even if we’re just talking about you being an obedient dog, I wouldn’t be at a loss."

"See, you finally admit you fancy me! You’re not straightforward at all, quite the teaser!"

Xiao Ming chuckled and then slapped her hard across the face, sending her head crashing into the file cabinet with a loud clang.

Then, Xiao Ming loosened his tie and pulled out a half-matchbox sized wireless camera from within, waving it in front of the astonished eyes of Furukawa Shizuka.

"Dear Miss Furukawa, what do you think, if I were to release a video of you trying to coerce a citizen of Han Country into becoming a spy to the media, how much would your country have to pay to settle this incident?"
