Chapter 1171: A Clue Appears

“I’ve already checked, but 1 can’t find anything.” Caie Mitsui said,

...

“This matter has caused considerable damage to the Mitsui family. Even 1 was reprimanded.”

“Aren’t you going to pursue the matter? That doesn’t sound like the Mitsui family.”

“There’s nothing we can do even if we wanted to.”

“Why won’t you try to bait him out?”

“Do you think he’ll wait like a sitting duck?” Caie Mitsui asked. “1 believe that’s the idiom you are referring to.”

“Didn’t you stay in Huaxia for a few years? Why don’t you even know this idiom?”

Caie Mitsui smiled. “I’ve been back for many years. I can’t remember some of the details.”

“I think you can plan another deal. You might lure the other party out if you do that.”

After laying the groundwork for so long, Lin Yi began his own probing.

If the Mitsui family really had such thoughts, then the person they were trading with must be someone from the Black Gold Corporation.

If they didn’t have such thoughts, then he would be back at square one.

“That’s indeed a solution. We were thinking of doing that, but we gave up in the end.”

“Any particular reason?”

“Firstly, we don’t have any bargaining chips left. Secondly, if we try this, what if the other party really comes? If that happens, we will be in trouble.”

Caie Mitsui drove and said,

“Moreover, I feel that the other party must know my identity since he dared to attack me. Even so, he still dared to attack. I believe he’s not afraid of the Mitsui family.”

Lin Yi leaned back in his chair and nodded in agreement.

“The man in black is so awesome. He’s naturally not afraid of you.”

At this moment, both of them had their own thoughts.

Mitsui Ayae could confirm that the person who secretly took away the Bass Ore was not from the Black Gold Corporation, but she still had some clues to work with.

Yushi Mitsui was their biggest suspect.

Ever since Ito Mitsui died, he had left to establish his own sect.

He had also mastered half of the core technology and even the completed gene sequence serum.

Therefore, he was the person most likely to be pulling strings in the dark.

However, there was no evidence of this, so he could not make any rash assertions.

“Alright, it’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Caie Mitsui smiled and said,

“Is there anywhere you want to go? I can be your free tour guide and show you around Toyo, but there’s nothing fun here. It’s all modern. If your time permits, I can show you Mount Huji.”

“There’s no hurry. The company has a trip to Mount Huji in a few days, so I won’t trouble you today.”

At this point, Lin Yi had already lost interest in continuing the conversation with Caie Mitsui.

From her words, he could tell that they had not had any business dealings with Black Gold Corporation recently.

In other words, they had no intention of making a deal.

If the man in black did not appear, then the Bass ore that he snatched from

Team 1 was very likely still in Jeffrey’s hands.

In theory, this should still be a possibility.

After understanding the situation, Lin Yi felt much more relaxed. He even felt that this trip was no longer important.

He wanted to go home and continue selling fruits.

“Do you want to visit the Mitsui family’s company?” Caie Mitsui smiled and said, “Just treat it as an inspection. Perhaps we can work together in the future.”

“Let’s go. I have nothing to do anyway.”

Lin Yi was still a loyal person.

Although Caie Mitsui was no longer useful, he still had to show her some respect.

Ring ring ring!

Caie Mitsui’s phone rang at this moment.

Lin Yi looked at the caller’s name. It was her secretary and assistant, Yoshida Higashino.

“What is it?”

“Miss Mitsui, we found that the people from the Black Gold Corporation are here in Tokyo.”

“What did you say?! Their people are here?!”

Caie Mitsui stepped on the brakes and almost launched Lin Yi out the front window.

“F*ck!”

Caie Mitsui shot him an apologetic look, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she continued talking to Yoshida Higashino.

“He just got off the plane. We’ve already sent someone to follow him.”

“You saw the guy they’re meeting with?”

“The person behind the scenes hasn’t been exposed. There are a total of five of them. The team leader should be Eliza.”

“Got it.” Caie Mitsui said, “I’ll think of what to do. You guys follow me. Don’t expose yourself.”

“Understood!”

Caie Mitsui hung up the phone with a serious expression on her face.

She knew very well what kind of people were in Black Gold Corporation. She also knew Eliza’s status in the company.

Jeffrey wouldn’t have sent her here if it wasn’t important.

Therefore, it was very likely that they were here to trade ores.

However, it had only been such a short time since the incident. Could they have already sourced another ore?

Or could it be that all her previous guesses were wrong?

Could Jeffrey have really done those things and was now back here to make a deal with the ore he had stolen from them?

However, in Sunrise Land, other than the Mitsui family, no one was qualified to make such a deal with them.

“Could it be?!”

All of a sudden, Caie Mitsui exclaimed. She seemed to have thought of something.

“Could it be Yushi Mitsui?”

For various reasons, Caie Mitsui thought of this possibility.

In the entire Sunrise Land, other than themselves, there seemed to be no one else other than Yushi Mitsui who was qualified to do this.

While Caie Mitsui was lost in her thoughts, Lin Yi fell silent.

Due to his astonishing hearing ability, he heard a few words from their conversation.

Although he did not know what the specific content was, he could hear the words “Black Gold Corporation” clearly.

It was also because of this call that Lin Yi’s initially calm mood fluctuated again.

From Caie Mitsui’s tone and expression, he could guess that the people from the Black Gold Corporation had already arrived in Sunrise Land and had gotten off the plane.

Secondly, the people from Black Gold Corporation did not come here to make a deal with the Mitsui Family.

Moreover, this was the most important point.

Even though they didn’t come to make a deal with the Mitsui family, their arrival might have had a significant impact on them in secret, otherwise, Caie Mitsui wouldn’t have showed this expression.

Based on these points, Lin Yi also started to form doubts in his mind.

In Sunrise Land, other than the Mitsui family, who else was qualified to make a deal with the Black Gold Corporation?

Could it be that they had other opponents in the dark?

It was such a small place, but the organizational structure was surprisingly complicated.

But these were not problems to be faced at this juncture.

Caie Mitsui was facing a problem, so it was very likely that she would let him head back for now. They would meet another day.

If that was the case, he would have missed out on obtaining a clue today.

And so…

Lin Yi picked up his phone.

“I’m meeting a very important friend tonight, so I won’t be going back…”

“I won’t be able to stay on either. You should go to bed early..”
