Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 826: Chapter 496: Darkness

The silver plane slowly landed at Sha City Airport, and the passengers descended the gangway one by one. Two tall and strong men stood out among the crowd, with a man and a woman sandwiched between them, who were Noda Song and his daughter.

Noda Song was in his fifties, about 168 cm tall, slightly overweight with fair skin. He wore thin-framed glasses and had bright eyes, clearly a shrewd businessman.

Noda Hikari was in her twenties, around 157 cm tall, with a slender figure and shoulder-length hair. She had thin single eyelids, eyes that were not very big and slightly narrow, and a nose that wasn’t high but nicely straight. Her delicate skin had a porcelain-like sheen. She was a very pretty girl with distinctive Japanese features.

Ye Aicheng, who had been waiting at the foot of the gangway, hurriedly approached them: "Mr. Yodan, I am Ye Aicheng, the one responsible for contacting you. Thank you for your support of Sha City, and welcome, Miss Noda!"

Noda Song waved to interrupt the translation, smiled kindly, and shook Ye Aicheng’s hand: "Mr. Ye, you are too kind, really too kind."

Noda Hikari also politely bowed.

"Mr. Yodan’s Chinese is really excellent." Ye Aicheng spoke while guiding Noda Song toward Wen Song’s direction, "Secretary Wen has personally come to greet you as well."

Meanwhile, Luo Ye, Feng Qing, Zhan Hao, and others had already surrounded the Yodan group.

"You are too kind, Secretary Wen is truly too kind..." As both parties converged, before Ye Aicheng could introduce them, Noda Song had already reached out to Wen Song.

Wen Song felt a slight stir in his heart but maintained a calm smile on his face: "Mr. Yodan has invested such a large amount in Sha City. As a local official, it is only right for me to come and greet you."

"I am truly flattered, truly flattered." Noda Song repeated.

"Mr. Yodan’s Chinese is indeed excellent." Wen Song sincerely praised.

"Grandpa loves China, and the children of the Yodani Family have been studying Chinese culture since childhood." Noda Song pointed at Noda Hikari, "My daughter’s Chinese is no worse than mine. I plan to let her study in China, and I hope Secretary Wen can take care of her then."

"No problem." Wen Song readily agreed.

Noda Hikari politely bowed: "Hello, Uncle Wen."

"Hello, Miss Noda." Wen Song politely responded, gestured towards the cars: "Mr. Yodan, please."

Noda Song continuously bowed: "It’s really too much trouble for Secretary Wen. For you to come personally, it is truly beyond my expectations."

Feng Qing whispered in Luo Ye’s ear: "Japanese people are so polite, it’s truly hard for ordinary people to endure. The key is, who knows what they think when they pretend to be polite."

"Exactly." Luo Ye nodded in agreement, Japanese’s polite demeanor should never be taken seriously; whoever does so is a fool.

...

"Mr. Yodan, this is Mr. Ye Mo and his team members. They are exceptionally skilled elites. Your security work during your stay will be handled by them." Once they reached Fuxin Hotel, Wen Song pointed at Ye Mo and introduced him to Noda Song.

The father and daughter took a brief rest before attending a welcome banquet that evening, and the official inspection would begin the next day.

Noda Song politely bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Ye."

"No need to be polite." Ye Mo responded courteously, then added with a slightly stern expression, "For convenience, they each have their own covert identity, so please cooperate, Mr. Yodan."

"No problem, no problem." Noda Song nodded repeatedly.

Wen Song checked the time and politely took his leave: "Mr. Yodan, you must be tired from your journey, so I won’t disturb you any longer. See you tonight."

After Wen Song and others left, Ye Mo officially introduced his subordinates to Noda Song and his daughter: "Mr. Yodan, this is Zhan Hao. He not only excels in skills but also has outstanding talents in business. His identity will be your secretary.

This is Li Yongping. You can reach out to him for matters related to daily life. These two are Liang Dongcheng and Liu Bo, and they will be your personal bodyguards.

This is Luo Ye, she will serve as Miss Hikari’s secretary. This is Feng Qing, Miss Hikari can contact her for matters concerning daily life. These two are Qian Ying and Cui Xuetao, who will be Miss Hikari’s personal bodyguards."

Noda Song courteously declined: "Personal bodyguards are unnecessary..." He pointed at the two tall men, "Ooba Ichiro and Kawashima Kei will protect both me and Hikari."

Ye Mo smiled apologetically: "I’m sorry, it’s an order from above. If Mr. Yodan doesn’t need them, you may contact my superiors. I personally don’t have the authority to withdraw them."

Noda Song shrugged: "Alright then, but I don’t want them to interfere with my private life."

Ye Mo nodded: "Without your permission, they won’t enter your room on their own. Their main responsibility is to ensure the safety of both you and Miss Hikari during outings."

"That’s good, thank you, Mr. Ye. Hikari, let’s go back to the room to rest." Noda Song said, turning to enter his room.

Feng Qing whispered in Luo Ye’s ear: "See, he turns face pretty fast."

"You all, if anything comes up, notify me anytime. Stay alert." Ye Mo reminded them before turning to leave.

The ten people (including the pair of bodyguards for Noda Song’s father and daughter) stood at the door looking at each other, the crowd at the door seemed a bit too grand.

Normally, the protectors and those being protected are supposed to stay in the outer room of the suite, yet Noda Song unexpectedly shut everyone out.

"Clack!" Noda Hikari’s room door opened, she smiled sweetly at them: "I’m very sorry, but my father doesn’t like outsiders disturbing him. How about everyone come into my room?"

"No, no, we’re fine waiting outside." Cui Xuetao, who was at the front, quickly waved her hands to refuse.

"Clack!" The door to the adjoining room suddenly opened. "Come in." Noda Song didn’t even look at them, just turned and walked into the inner room, leaving Zhan Hao and the others looking at each other, unsure whether to go in or not.

Noda Hikari smiled sweetly again: "Everyone, please come in. My father’s agreement is implied." Then she turned to the female team members, "Please come in."

At the door to the inner room, Noda Hikari looked at Luo Ye: "Miss Luo, could you come inside with me?"

"Sure." Luo Ye responded and followed her in.

After closing the door, Noda Hikari looked Luo Ye up and down: "Miss Luo, I’ve heard about you before, but honestly, you’re just so-so!"

Luo Ye gave a faint smile: "Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Noda."

Noda Hikari’s eyes showed surprise: "Aren’t you curious to know who told me about you?"

Luo Ye spread her hands: "Probably someone who doesn’t like me, nothing curious about that."

Noda Hikari pointed to the bathroom: "You, assist me in bathing."

"That’s not within my job scope. I’m your secretary, not a life secretary." Luo Ye shook her head in refusal, standing immobile.

Noda Hikari smiled smugly: "I want to make a change, you’re now my life secretary. I am the guest, I have the right to amend this."

"First speak to my superiors. If they agree, I will be your life secretary." Luo Ye said as she left the room.

"You..." Noda Hikari stomped in anger and picked up the phone on the table to call Yoda Song: "Dad, I want Luo Ye to be my life secretary, please arrange it."

Outside, Feng Qing leaned towards Luo Ye and whispered: "What’s going on?"

Luo Ye spread her hands: "Doesn’t seem like there’s anything specific, but I’m definitely sensing she’s a friend of someone who doesn’t like me, and they’re thinking up ways to mess with me."

Feng Qing’s eyes gleamed: "Such a coincidence?"

"Yeah." Luo Ye pouted, "This is precisely the perfect chance for revenge, considering our job nature dictates we try to endure whatever is said by the other party. Tell me, where else do you find such perfect opportunities?"

"Who could it be?" Feng Qing furrowed his brows, "Someone with the opportunity to know such friends..." Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, "Could it have something to do with Qiao Xiaowan?"

Luo Ye nodded: "Can’t rule out that possibility. Thinking it over carefully, the only person who’s got a grudge with me and has the capability would be Qiao Xiaowan. However, I don’t really think she did it; currently, she doesn’t have that kind of opportunity."

Feng Qing blinked: "Are you suggesting it could be the Lian Family?"

"Maybe." Luo Ye waved her hand, "Guessing won’t do us any good, seems like this task is going to be a test this time."

"By the way, what did she want you to do?" Feng Qing asked curiously.

"Help her bathe."

"Uhh..." Feng Qing paused, "That seems to fall under my scope of work."

"Correct, seems like we might need to swap duties..."

As soon as Luo Ye finished that sentence, the room door opened and Cui Xuetao immediately greeted: "Miss Noda, is there anything you need?"

Noda Hikari politely smiled: "You all can take a break." Then she looked at Luo Ye, "Miss Luo, you’ve got a phone call, please come in and take it."

"What a pretender." Feng Qing couldn’t help but mutter softly, seeing Noda Hikari’s polite and gentle demeanor, who would believe she’s causing trouble for Luo Ye? Thinking so, he couldn’t help but feel a cold sweat for Luo Ye.

Luo Ye picked up the phone, "Hello," a voice came through the receiver, it was Ye Mo: "Luo Ye, Minister Qin just called, requesting to swap your work with Feng Qing’s."

"Okay." Luo Ye had already anticipated this result and responded cheerfully.

Ye Mo lowered his voice: "Ye’er, Minister Qin said on the phone that this was a direct request from Miss Noda, saying she’s particularly fond of Ye’er. I’m a bit skeptical about the authenticity of this statement, can you tell me the real situation?"

Luo Ye responded without a second thought: "Captain Ye, it’s true."

"Really?" Ye Mo asked skeptically.

"Really." Luo Ye repeated without hesitation. Telling the truth would only incriminate Ye Mo; if they opposed Noda Hikari, it would only play into the other side’s trap.

In the end, both she and Ye Mo might face consequences; whatever Noda Hikari wanted, she would just do it, there’s an old saying about settling accounts in due time.

After hanging up the phone, Noda Hikari looked at her mockingly: "Now, can you help me run the bath water?"

"No problem." Luo Ye replied cheerfully and entered the bathroom.
