Hand-Kissing Ceremony / You Can Stay at My Place for a Few Days

Based on these speculations, she actually deduced that Jiang Hang's confrontation with the Kaito Kid at the Beika Art Museum was something Jiang Hang had planned from the very beginning.

In short, the more Sakura Himeshiro used the Himeshiro Group's abilities to investigate Jiang Hang, the more she felt that Jiang Hang and the force behind him were unfathomable.

Even if her guess was wrong, the massive Foundation behind Jiang Hang was still no match for the Himeshiro Group.

As the daughter of a Mafia boss, Sakura Himeshiro knows how to maximize her benefits and minimize her risks, and she is well aware of the importance of making the right choices, even if it is not her own will.

After a brief moment of thought, Sakura Himeshiro knew what she should do now.

She turned her gaze away from Jiang Hang, but she couldn't glean anything from the expression on Jiang Hang face.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, I heard you want to acquire Eito Studios?" After placing her ever-present pipe on the coffee table, Sakura Himeshiro took off her headscarf.

Under Jiang Hang's somewhat questioning gaze, Sakura Himeshiro lowered her head slightly.

"I've spoken with the owner of Yingdu Photography Studio, and he's very willing to transfer the Eito Studios to you, Mr. Jiang Hang. I wonder what you would like to do with the original employees of Eito Studios?"

Chapter 239: Chapter 237: Kissing Hands

Sakura Himeshiro's words included her, a well-known producer with a yakuza background, among the members of Eito Studios.

After Jiang Hang said that everything would remain the same after the acquisition of Eito Studios, Sakura Himeshiro directly asked whether she could continue to work as a producer in the film and television company formed by the merger of Daibao Films and Television and Eito Studios.

Seeing that Sakura Himeshiro seemed to be completely serious, Jiang Hang frowned slightly.

He knew the truth of the case, and also knew that if Takeshi Ibukuro hadn't accidentally fallen and died on the iron fence, Sakura Himeshiro would likely have been the victim in this case. Therefore, he didn't have any ill feelings towards Sakura Himeshiro.

If I had to pinpoint it, it would be that when Jiang Hang was playing the Ace Attorney game, he was the kind of guy who was too lazy to use his brain while playing games, and it took him most of the day to complete this case. So, he probably had some regrets as a player about the characters in this case.

For this reason, after Jiang Hang got the police investigation on track, he stopped interfering in the case. Even after learning that director Takuya Uzai had stepped forward to take the blame for Sakura Himeshiro, he didn't feel anything.

Jiang Hang initially thought that Sakura Himeshiro's arrival today might be an attempt to get revenge, to threaten or intimidate him, and to prevent him from having any inappropriate thoughts about Eito Studios.

This is the most likely action that Jiang Hang Sakura Himeshiro, who has a triad background and is the undisputed leader of Eito Studios, is going to take upon her arrival.

Jiang Hang was about to say, "The thing I like to do most is to say 'NO' to those self-righteous people," but he really didn't expect that Sakura Himeshiro would come to "swear allegiance" to him.

Moreover, Jiang Hang only had a preliminary idea about acquiring Yingdu. He had just contacted the owner of Yingdu through Daibao Films, and Sakura Himeshiro had already solved all the problems in Yingdu for him. They were just waiting for him to put up the money.

Jiang Hang instinctively felt that there might be some kind of conspiracy involved.

What exactly does Sakura Himeshiro want to do?

He was, of course, unaware that in the mind of this woman, Sakura Himeshiro, due to various coincidences, the extraordinary title of "Moriarty of the Heisei Era" had already been attached to his head.

Subconsciously, Jiang Hang activated Eagle Eye, scanning Sakura Himeshiro and the Mafia bodyguards behind her.

Sakura Himeshiro sensed that after she subtly mentioned wanting to join Jiang Hang's faction and become a guide, Jiang Hang's expressionless eyes instantly sharpened.

She even felt that Jiang Hang's scrutinizing gaze at her at that moment seemed to see right through her.

At this moment, Sakura Himeshiro's body involuntarily stiffened, and a bead of cold sweat involuntarily seeped from her forehead.

However, this feeling did not last long, and Jiang Hang quickly withdrew that extremely sharp gaze.

Jiang Hang found nothing on Sakura Himeshiro, and the bodyguards she brought were not carrying any weapons.

He also noticed that Sakura Himeshiro seemed to be a little too cautious when she was with him.

In his memory, Sakura Himeshiro was a very strong woman. Even in the courtroom in the game, she remained quite calm most of the time. What exactly was this woman planning now?

Although Jiang Hang likes to play the mille-feuille theory with others, he is actually quite straightforward in personality.

Whenever he encounters something uncertain, he will immediately abandon any deep mental struggles and instead stand on the ground as a simpleton, using the most straightforward and convenient method to solve the problem.

Therefore, after hearing that Sakura Himeshiro wanted to join Daibao Films with Ying Du, Jiang Hang only considered Sakura Himeshiro's abilities in his heart.

Leaving aside the Mafia background behind Sakura Himeshiro is indeed a very capable producer. Five years ago, when Eito Studios was facing a talent shortage, it was she who revitalized the studio and has since produced several critically acclaimed and commercially successful works.

At least in terms of professional ability, Sakura Himeshiro is definitely far superior to Osamu Kamei, the producer of Gomera whom Jiang Hang had met at Daibao Films.

"Do you want to stay and continue working as a producer?" Jiang Hang asked Sakura Himeshiro.

Sakura Himeshiro relaxed considerably after hearing Jiang Hang's words.

Sakura Himeshiro nodded. "I worked as a producer in England for five years, so naturally I have feelings for England."

In Jiang Hang's eyes, Sakura Himeshiro didn't seem to care about being the daughter of Mafia, and she even frankly stated that in the past, when she encountered some business problems that couldn't be solved by normal means, she would choose to rely on the Himeshiro Group's abilities.

She also stated that once Jiang Hang acquires Yingdu, she will no longer need to use those special methods.

She even told the truth about the case directly to Jiang Hang, the famous detective, seemingly unconcerned that he might turn around and inform the police.

Jiang Hang naturally wouldn't notify the police in a case that could be judged as legitimate self-defense.

In fact, Jiang Hang has always liked Sakura Himeshiro's open and honest style.

Although it was unclear why Sakura Himeshiro wanted to stay in Yingdu as a producer, Jiang Hang thought that he was a person with a system after all. Since Sakura Himeshiro, a capable person, was willing to join him, he certainly wouldn't mind adding another woman with a triad background to his army of tools.

At least Sakura Himeshiro can do whatever she wants right now, right under his nose, which is better than her hiding in the shadows and trying to trip him up.

Moreover, if Sakura Himeshiro really has some kind of conspiracy... he's already provoked the Black Organization, a transnational criminal organization, and the Nisame Association, Japan's largest gang. So, adding another Mafia in the Kyoto area doesn't seem like a big deal.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang extended his hand, wanting to express his pleasure in cooperating with Sakura Himeshiro in the future.

To Jiang Hang's surprise, when Sakura Himeshiro reached out her hand, she took his hand in her right hand and then leaned down to kiss the back of his hand.

Chapter 240: Chapter 238: Why don't you stay at my place for the next few days?

In Sakura Himeshiro's mind, she had now essentially joined Jiang Hang and the force behind him.

After leaving Daibao Films and getting into her car, Sakura Himeshiro breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Jiang Hang was truly an unfathomable man. When he was staring at her, she almost felt suffocated by the indescribable sense of oppression.

She had never felt this way, not even when she was with her father.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Sakura Himeshiro lit her pipe, took a slow puff, and calmed herself down.

She looked at the other bodyguards in the car. These were all elite members of the Himeshiro Group, whom she had specially recruited from Kyoto before coming to meet Jiang Hang. Each of them had experienced more than a dozen gang battles and were currently the main fighting force of the Himeshiro Group.

How are you all feeling?

Sitting in the passenger seat was a member of the Himeshiro Group, who couldn't help but wipe his forehead.

"That man was very strong. The way he looked at me earlier felt like a knife stabbing directly in my face. It was as if he could see through everything I had ever done with just one glance..."

He shook his head at Sakura Himeshiro with lingering fear. "If we had really fought in the reception room just now, I'm afraid the four of us wouldn't have been a match for him."

"Young Miss... are you really prepared to stay by the side of such a dangerous person?" Another member of the Himeshiro Group asked Sakura Himeshiro with some concern.

Upon hearing that these capable members of the Himeshiro Group had all indicated that they sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Jiang Hang, Sakura Himeshiro slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"The Himeshiro Group has been gradually declining in recent years, hasn't it? Not only are other gangs in Kyoto making moves, but even gangs in the Kanto region are starting to stir. How many more years can my father hold on?"

Upon hearing Sakura Himeshiro's words, the members of the Himeshiro Group immediately became hesitant.

However, another person expressed their thoughts to Sakura Himeshiro: "Even so, does that man really have such a powerful force behind him... After all, all of this is just your speculation, Miss."

Sakura Himeshiro gently shook the pipe in her hand and looked at the few people in the car who also had doubts. "Just now, I told him about the Nisame Association. Now we just need to wait quietly."

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the people in the car, she sighed.

"This was my own choice. After you return to Kyoto, just tell my father about this."

Hearing this, the people in the car fell silent.

Meanwhile, on Jiang Hang's side, a while after Sakura Himeshiro left, Shizuka Sakaki cautiously peeked into the reception room, wanting to see what was going on with Jiang Hang.

She knew Jiang Hang was very skilled, but she had never seen anyone with such high combat power before. And Jiang Hang was just an ordinary person after all. If four tall and strong men stood together, Jiang Hang probably wouldn't be able to handle them.

However, the meeting between Jiang Hang and Sakura Himeshiro seemed normal, and the cups of tea she had poured did not appear to have been touched.

Looking at Jiang Hang sitting on the sofa, his brows slightly furrowed as if he were thinking about something, Shizuka Sakaki Jiang Hang n't help but ask him what they had been talking about.

"That woman just now, she was the producer at Eito Studios before," Jiang Hang briefly told Shizuka Sakaki about Shizuka Sakaki Sakura Himeshiro, knowing that Sakura Himeshiro had never met her.

"Because I'm going to acquire Yingdu, this producer came over to greet me first. We just talked briefly about the filming plans after Yingdu and Dabao merged."

"But Jiang Hang, didn't you say that woman has a triad background? Is it really okay to let a woman like that into the company?" Shizuka Sakaki looked at Jiang Hang with some concern.

Jiang Hang shrugged at this.

"Who knows? But after firing that incompetent and disloyal producer, the company is indeed lacking a capable producer who can keep things in check. And putting aside Himegami's underworld background, she is indeed a very good producer," Jiang Hang paused, then sighed helplessly.

"Actually, the producer at Musashino is quite capable. He can solve things while playing mahjong in the mahjong parlor all day. I really wanted to poach him, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving the animation industry."

Shizuka Sakaki trusted Jiang Hang's judgment. Since Jiang Hang said that Sakura Himeshiro was capable and trustworthy, she naturally had nothing to say.

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's next words, Shizuka Sakaki's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. "Jiang Hang- kun, Aoi has told me several times that besides the producer, there are also animation general affairs officers, directors, and even 3D directors that you have tried to poach. Even if Daibao Films is really short of people, you don't need to keep looking for people from Musashino Animation."

"Aoi Kui also told me that if Jiang Hang continues like this, Musashino Animation might blacklist you after this collaboration."

Jiang Hang's expression instantly turned awkward.

"Ahem, that's because I think the work atmosphere at Musashino Animation is pretty good, and the people there are quite capable, so I just asked a few questions casually."

He actually wanted to acquire the entire Musashino Animation, then provide them with ample funding to produce even better animations.

Even though the production committee system still restricts him, with the accumulation of his assets and the excellent working atmosphere at Musashino Animation, Jiang Hang believes that he should be able to break free from the production committee system and make a big splash in the animation industry within one or two years.

Unfortunately, Marukawa Masato, the owner of Musashino Animation, did not have such ideas. Even Jiang Hang's idea of investing in the company was politely rejected, and his attempts to poach people from Musashino also failed repeatedly.

In short, the animation company should wait until he makes a name for himself in the tokusatsu industry before making any moves.

However, after explaining the poaching to Shizuka Sakaki, Jiang Hang coughed a few times to make his expression more serious.

Seeing that Shizuka Sakaki was tidying up the tea in the reception room, Jiang Hang told her to stop for a moment.

Then, Jiang Hang suddenly blurted out something that almost made Shizuka Sakaki's hand tremble and spill the tea she was holding onto herself.

"Sakaki, for the next few days, don't go home after get off work. Just stay at the office."

Chapter 241: Chapter 239: Shizuka Sakaki, targeted by the Nisame Association

Just now, when Sakura Himeshiro was chatting with Jiang Hang, before the conversation ended, Sakura Himeshiro mentioned the name of the Nisame Association, Tokyo's number one yakuza Mafia, and she also directly indicated that the Nisame Association might take revenge on Shizuka Sakaki in the near future.

Jiang Hang was momentarily stunned when he received this news from Sakura Himeshiro.

After all, the person who should have been confronting the Nisame Association was him. He had spent several days investigating the Muddy Nisame Association in order to investigate Kyosuke Kazato's case. After the case was closed, he handed over the criminal evidence he had collected to Inspector Megure.

Even if the Nisame Association has an undercover agent in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who knows about this, the Nisame Association should be looking for him, so how did he get involved with Shizuka Sakaki?

But soon, Jiang Hang remembered the library case where Shizuka Sakaki, with his prompting, helped the police find the body hidden above the elevator.

The perpetrator in that case, librarian Tsugawa Shuji, worked for the Nisame Association, where he was responsible for transporting and storing drugs.

In that case, although he was the one who finally caught Tsugawa Shuji, his presence in the whole case was not very prominent. Tsugawa Shuji did not know Jiang Hang's identity until he was arrested by the police, and the police would not release Jiang Hang's name, who assisted in the arrest of drug dealers.

Just like the Moon Shadow Island drug incident last time, but his name was not published in the news reports about Moon Shadow Island. Apart from the police, the only people who knew about his existence were Seiji Aso, who had asked him to come, and Nishiki Ken, who surrendered to the police after being "educated" by him.

The other drug dealers on Moon Shadow Island probably still don't know why Nishiki Ken, their former accomplice, suddenly had a brain fart and turned himself in to the police.

However, Shizuka Sakaki was different. She did appear in the Tsugawa Shuji murder case and was even photographed by some onlookers in the library.

Furthermore, Tsugawa Shuji will likely talk about Shizuka Sakaki with the Nisame Association dealers who come to visit him in prison. Perhaps, in an attempt to shift the blame, he might pin the responsibility for the drug deal being discovered by the police on Shizuka Sakaki.

If that's the case, then what Sakura Himeshiro reminded her of is very likely true, and there's a good chance that Shizuka Sakaki was Nisame Association and angered by the Muddy Association.

Jiang Hang didn't know how the Nisame Association planned to retaliate against Shizuka Sakaki, but now that he knew of this possibility, he naturally had to find a way to protect Shizuka Sakaki.

When it comes to protection, the best way is naturally to keep Shizuka Sakaki within his sight at all times.

So Jiang Hang didn't think much of it and told Shizuka Sakaki to stay at the office for the next few days and not go home.

However, it seems that what he just said caused a rather subtle misunderstanding in the young girl Shizuka Sakaki.

Seeing Shizuka Sakaki instinctively take a few steps back, cover her chest with her hands, and turn red in the face, Jiang Hang realized the ambiguity in his words, which made it sound as if he had some ulterior motive towards Shizuka Sakaki.

To protect his image, Jiang Hang quickly explained the reason to Shizuka Sakaki.

He never intended to hide this from Shizuka Sakaki. He wasn't Conan; if he wanted to protect Shizuka Sakaki, she would have to cooperate. Shizuka Sakaki also needed to have a clear understanding of the situation regarding the Nisame Association.

After Jiang Hang told Shizuka Sakaki about the Nisame Association, the girl's face turned slightly pale.

"The Nisame Association... is that the one that's always in the news?"

The largest violent gang in Tokyo, and they also have a presence in other cities in Japan Tokyo. In the eyes of most people, the Nisame Association is associated with notorious and infamous words.

Aside from the time she was searching for wontons from decades ago for the head of the Takashiro- Takashiro Group, Shizuka Sakaki had almost no dealings with these yakuza organizations. Even when she and Koharu Yoshino a gang leader, they were extremely cautious in their interactions with him, not daring to have any conflicts with him.
