1578 Words
They were having dinner when Lixue noticed her godfather, Raiden, and his son, Shuji, across from him. Shuji was eating quietly.
"Why do you want me, Ninong, to go to renshi Shihei, danshi ta fuqin shi women de Shiming zhishi ouran ma?" Lixue asked, looking at her godfather as he and Shuji turned to her.
(I have something to ask you, but is it just a coincidence that his father is our mission?)
"Who?" Raiden asked his godchild, not looking at her as he continued eating.
"Ta shi Don Emilio Gayag, ta you yige nu'er Aiya Gayag, nin erzi shang daxue shi de tongban tongxue," Lixue said seriously, looking at her godfather Raiden. Shuji also looked at her.
(He's Don Emilio Gayag. He has a daughter, Aiya Gayag, who was a former classmate of your son in college.)
"Do you know Don Emilio?" Shuji asked Lixue when he heard the name of his father's business partner.
"He doesn't know Don Emilio. I asked her for a favor and asked her to do something." Raiden replied to his son, looking at Lixue.
"Hao ba, ta dui nin de erzi zhaomi, wo bu queding ta shi dui nin erzi de cehua zhe haishi jiandie/genzong zhe, zhe shi wo bu zhidao ta shifou wancheng de xinxi," Lixue said to her godfather Raiden, just looking at Shuji. Shuji looked suspiciously at her.
(Well, she's obsessed with your son. I'm not sure if she's a mastermind or a spy/stalker on your son. This is the information I have, but I'm not sure if it's complete.)
Lixue held out a brown envelope, and Shuji looked at it. Lixue saw that Shuji looked at it and held his godfather Raiden in his other hand to make him notice that he looked up and looked at the brown envelope.
"Ta chenmi yu wo de erzi ma? Nin zenme zhidao ta bei huaiyi zai nali, ta de fuqin shi wo de shangye huoban wo faxian na li you yige mimi shengyi zhe shi bu hefa de." Raiden said to his son, turning around and stopping eating.
(She was obsessed in my son? How did you know that she's suspected there, his father was my business partner I discovered that there was a secret business and it was not legal.)
"Shi de, wo huaiyi zhishi yinwei wo zai yinghua waimian kan dao ta zai gen wo ting dao de gongzuo renyuan he mote shuohua, wen ni erzi zai zuo shenme yiji wo shi shei," Lixue replied to her godfather. Raiden Shuji looked at them with surprise.
(Yes, I suspect it's just because I saw her outside of Sakura talking to a staff member and model. I overheard her asking about your son and who I am.)
Shuji was just observing, watching his Papa and Lixue conversing in another language. Despite not understanding every word, Shuji comprehended what his father was saying.
"Huoqu xinxi er bushi dixia xinxi, ruguo zhiyou yige jiating shi nin dui wo erzi he wo de yewu huoban jinxing xuanjiao de yuanyin, qing zai shouji zhengju shi tongzhi wo," Raiden said to his godchild after drinking water and turning to Lixue.
(Gather information, but not from underground sources. If only one family is the reason for your mission on my son and with my business partner, please inform me when you have gathered evidence.)
"Hmmm...I'll talk to someone first, ninong. Once our plan is finalized, I'll provide you with all the information you need immediately." Lixue said to her godfather Raiden and drank some water afterward.
"What are you talking about?" Shuji replied to the two comrades who were conversing in front of him.
"Lixue knows someone connected to an organization that can assist me. I suspect a partner with ties to the illegal business, but I'm not certain yet." Raiden recognized his son when he looked at him after finishing his food and drinking water again.
"Don Emilio Gayag, is he the one you suspect?" Shuji asked his father when he paused eating.
"Yes, I hope this detail comes first. I'm not sure that he is. I don't want my legal business to be associated with the illegal business of my business partners. Our reputation will be ruined, and the reputation of our two companies will depend on it," Raiden replied to his son, immediately standing up from his seat.
"Ninong, I'm going to leave first. I'll talk to him," Lixue said, standing up from her seat.
"Why don't you talk to the man and inform the police to investigate?" Shuji suggested to his father.
"I want to verify first, son. We all know that businessmen involved in illegal activities often have connections within the government or the police. They can deny our allegations if that happens," Raiden recognized his son and turned to look at Lixue.
Shuji couldn't respond to his father and followed Lixue as she walked away.
"Why did you ask her for a favor? She's a woman," Shuji remarked to his father when Lixue had gone away from them.
They left the dining area and went to the living room.
"I suspect Don Emilio Gayag, and he's one of our partners in the Liao Company. His daughter is your former classmate, Aiya Gayag. Do you recall her?" Raiden asked his son, who looked suddenly.
"I don't remember her, but I've heard the last name Gayag. I just can't recall where I heard it from," Shuji replied to his father, also thinking about the name his father and Lixue had mentioned.
He still couldn't understand why his father had asked Lixue for a favor.
"Leatrice's father, a wealthy tycoon and billionaire in China, is also well-known here in the Philippines," Raiden answered his son, causing his son to look at him when he said that.
"Tycoon billionaire? They are rich, but why?" Shuji asked his father if he remembered what Lixue had said to him and her current situation.
"Family issues led Lixue to separate from her father. She has more rights to all her father's property than the second family, even though they are the ones suffering..." Raiden explained to his son. Shuji was unable to speak.
"Because she's the firstborn and a legitimate child," Shuji informed his father. His father merely nodded in response.
Raiden smiled at his son before leaving them in their living room. Meanwhile, Lixue was conversing with his co-agent, Agent One, during a mission briefing. They were discussing a plan to apprehend Don Emilio, who was allegedly conversing with a drug or syndicate leader.
"I'll diligently monitor every action taken by his staff daily. I'll promptly inform you when I gather information on their intended drop location. I'll provide you with the details," Agent One instructed Agent Zero.
"Copy that!" Agent Zero responded and began typing on the tablet, documenting every action that his fellow agent was about to undertake.
"Hold on, captain, before we rush in," Agent One cautioned.
"Got it! I've also discovered that you're accompanied by an accomplice... it's truly you!" Agent Zero exclaimed, a smirk playing on her lips as she continued her task.
"Captain, did you hear what I was saying? What exactly are you searching for?" Agent One inquired, observing Agent Zero's actions.
"I'm gathering information about his entire family. He's a widower and has a daughter," Agent Zero explained to Agent One.
"Are you certain? Perhaps his family is involved in the illegal transaction?" Agent One questioned, scrutinizing his partner's actions.
"You're right too! I'll introduce you to the boss's son. He mentioned here that I have someone to speak with. We know that his son is unaware of this situation within the underground agent's company," Agent Zero said, turning to face Agent One, who appeared serious.
"Have you met him?" Agent One inquired.
"Yes, didn't my apartment burn down, and he made me live with them?" Agent Zero replied, winking at the person next to her who simply nodded in agreement.
"What name did you use? Lixue or Leatrice, the ones you often use?" Agent One inquired, glancing over.
"Both! It's necessary..." Agent Zero explained.
"Roderick 'Drick' Quizon is back, my real name, haha," Agent One said, chuckling.
"Crazy!" Agent Zero laughed, playfully punching the arm next to her.
They decided on Saturday that Lixue would introduce fellow agent One as Drick Quizon. Shuji stayed home and sent his girlfriend to their place.
"I don't think I can see Leatrice," Erika commented, searching the house for her boyfriend.
"He's not here. Papa gave her an order," Shuji replied, leaning on his girlfriend's shoulder.
"Why? Why do I feel cold with her, but when I feel with Leatrice, the way I used to feel with Erika, I'm confused with her," Shuji thought, resting on his girlfriend's shoulder.
"Where is she?" Erika asked her boyfriend when she looked up.
"I don't know where she went," Shuji answered, recalling his father's words from the previous day.
That night, Shuji took his girlfriend to the condo. On his way home, he spotted Lixue/Leatrice with a man. Agent Zero returned home after speaking with Agent One.
Before Lixue went home to her godfather's mansion with Agent One, they had a conversation.
"Ready?" Agent Zero asked his fellow agent.
"Is it still me?" Agent One joked, grinning.
"It's different if the boss's son is running away," Agent Zero replied.
Agent One looked at her, and his expression became serious.
"He won't notice me, Capt." he said, and they both left for their mansion.
