Seeing the expression of the stall owner as if he was watching the death of his family member, Lei Yin addressed Kanoyama Akiji who was about to escape: “If you are willing to pay for the stall owner’s loss, I will call this even.” In the end, he is Takeda’s cousin so Lei Yin has to consider his friend’s face. Moreover, in his eyes, people like Kanoyama Akiji was even inferior to a street bum, so he was too lazy to care about him.

Kanoyama Akiji looked at him in alarmed before he said: “Okay.” His tone of voice lost its previous aggressive momentum.

Thinking that the other was willing to pay for his loss, the stall owner came close to tear up in excitement.

After reaching an agreement about the compensation price, Kanoyama Akiji actually did not have that much money and had to borrow from Takeda Cangshi. Takeda Cangshi did not know whether to laugh or cry as he made the payment. At this point, the farce was over.

After leaving the stall, Kanoyama Akiji and his classmates chose to walk at the rear, not daring to come close to Lei Yin. At the moment, in their eyes, the guy has been classified as a class of biological non-natural human.

Although he was equally shocked, Takeda Cangshi quickly returned to normal. He asked Lei Yin: “Student Gennai, have you been practicing boxing?”

“No, I haven’t, I just have a bit of brute force. I heard that brother Cangshi is already in the business world for a long time, I do not know what kind of business is that?” Lei Yin did not want to talk about this thing and quickly changed the subject.

“I am doing the import and export trade. Originally father wanted me to take over the sado business. But I have my ambition’s elsewhere, and therefore only expect that, in the future, Hidetoshi can help father run the sado business.”

Looking at Takeda, who was holding a skewered cuttlefish with his left hand and a bag of goldfish on his right hand, and still looking like a bully even though he was wearing a Kimono, Lei Yin thought that Takeda Cangshi’s hope might be too difficult to achieve.

“Hey, what’s with that look?” Seeing Lei Yin was staring at him with a weird look, Takeda who also walked near his brother and happened to hear his brother’s words, immediately stared back at him very unsatisfied.

“It’s nothing. I just find it hard to imagine how you are going to operate the tea ceremony business.”

“Who said I want to run that old man’s shop? I am only interested in cars, let my sister inherited that sado business.”

When the two people talk, Takeda Cangshi silently watched Naoko who was walking next to Lei Yin.

Watching Lei Yin, who has a bit of absent-minded look, Naoko asked: “Lei, what happens?”

Lei Yin thought for a moment and then told her about the Brin’s matter.

“Do you want to investigate this?”

“Not really, I just found it strange, that’s all.”

Naoko suddenly laughed softly, “You are lying. Are you worried about me staying alone here?”

Lei Yin was somewhat surprised to see her and said with a wry smile: “How do you know?”

Naoko cast him a playful smile for a moment and then gently fell upon his arms and said: “If you want to go then go, but promise me to be careful and don’t get hurt, okay? Rest assured, if I am bored, I will just watch the TV. If possible, come back early.”

Lei Yin was touched as he tightly held that beautiful person in his arms, “Naoko, you are really good.”

“Fool.” She looked up to him with her red face and lightly kissed his lips.

When he walked out of the room, Naoko put a pillow in her arms and buried her head in it. After a moment, she put her index finger on her cherry lips, which apparently still have the trace of his body temperature, in a daze.

There was a three story high building near the Takeda House main building, it was dedicated for the servants of the family. Lei Yin asked the other servants about Brin’s room location and then went in.

Japan is a hierarchical country, not to mention in the government or the company, even in the apartment where the servants lived has a certain division rule. Usually, the longest serving, the most senior of the servants will stay at the best location on the top floor, and so on. Brin’s room was located at the very end of the first floor, which was impervious to the sun.

After listening from the outside of the door and determining that Brin was still inside, Lei Yin walked out of the apartment building and wait for him to come out.

Around 11 o’clock in the evening, the already exasperated Lei Yin finally saw Brin’s tall figure stepped out of the apartment door.

After secretly cursed a sentence, Lei Yin quietly followed behind him.

With regards to tracking skill, basically, no one can compare to Lei Yin. Because he did not need to keep up with the person he was trying to follow, as long as he can lock the person’s body heat, he will know the walking route of that person and the person that he tracks will never know there was someone behind them.

Along the way, Lei Yin slowly followed behind Brin. Sometimes, he stopped by the roadside snack vendor to buy some and to try it.

Half an hour later, Lei Yin found out that Brin was walking toward the shrine. Is that guy going to catch some stray dogs?

Right on cue, Brin went behind the shrine without consulting anybody. Then he went to what seemed to be his previous spot to drag three stray dogs in a cage from the thick patch of grass. Then, just like the last time in the temple fair, he walked toward that deserted alley.

Seeing that the good show was about to begin, Lei Yin finished off the last few snacks on his hands and then continued to follow.

Meanwhile, shortly after Lei Yin went out of Naoko’s room, a man knocked on her door.
