Kitahara Sosuke opened the door and walked out, almost bumping into Kamino Higashi's back. He was stunned for a moment, then understood his intention, and felt warm in his heart.

"Kamino."

"Is it done?" Kamyedong turned around, restrained himself from looking into the room out of curiosity, and asked seriously.

"There's still a little to go, but the preliminary work has been completed. I'll catch up on the work tomorrow and should be able to finish it before dinner." Kitahara Sosuke smiled. After taking a few steps, he heard a soft "click" behind him. It turned out to be Kamino.

Dong locked the studio door.

The old man carefully put the keys away and put them in the inner pocket of his suit. Seeing that Kitahara Sosuke seemed a little surprised, Kamino Dong said seriously: "Young Master, maybe you think you shouldn't doubt the people around you, but what's inside is too involved.

, No matter how careful you are, you can never be too careful. This is not a question of trust, but of being responsible for yourself and others."

Kitahara Sosuke didn't say that there were cameras in the room, and Noah's Ark was monitoring the whole place at all times. If anyone approached him without permission, he would know it immediately. He also didn't think that Kamino Higashi's actions were unnecessary. He just nodded and said:

"I understand. Fortunately, you thought carefully."

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Shenyedong's mouth. He coughed lightly and asked, "Besides me, does anyone else know about this?"

Kithara Sosuke said: "There is no one else. I also buy the materials separately."

"Where's the research room?"

"They only know the most basic things. The information comes from the Yushen Research Institute that was damaged in the explosion. And everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, so there is no problem."

Kaminodong was slightly startled: "Royal God Research Institute?"

Kithara Sosuke smiled and said: "Yes."

The old butler's expression became a little disappointed, but he tried not to show it.

Walking to the bedroom door, Kitahara Sosuke opened the door and suddenly said: "Kamino, I heard that my father had many lovers during his lifetime. Did any of them go abroad?"

"Going abroad?"

Kaminodong recalled it.

Kitahara Shigeru is a romantic person. He is still somewhat sincere to the woman he brings home. He only has a purely transactional relationship with the lover who is having fun with him outside. After they break up, he completely ignores her, so Kamino Higashi doesn't pay much attention to her.

He thought for a while and then said: "There are three or four that can be confirmed. I'm afraid there is no way to know about the kind of romantic relationship."

"Really..." Kitahara Sosuke smiled thoughtfully, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "I heard that a woman gave birth to an illegitimate child to my father abroad."

"...Illegitimate son?" There was murderous intent in Kamino Higashi's eyes. He squinted his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "Young Master, you must have made a mistake. Except for you, all of Kitahara Shigeru's sons have died accidentally.

, how can there be an illegitimate child? His body has been cremated now, what can a jar of ashes prove? Someone must have seen that you were young and easy to deceive, so you fooled our family! Who told you this news? I want

Have a good [talk] with him!"

Seeing that the old butler looked like he was going to twist someone's skull off, Kitahara Sosuke couldn't help but laugh, knowing that his words had been misunderstood.

"That child..." Kitahara Sosuke looked at Kamino Azuma, his eyes flashing with joy: "...Although he is only seven years old, he is very smart and cute, and he looks a bit like me."

Kaminodong said without hesitation: "Even if he is only seven years old...seven years old?"

He suddenly remembered the "child" he saw on the workbench before. Judging from his height and appearance, he did look like a seven or eight-year-old child.

And if you think about it carefully, the facial features seem to be somewhat similar to Kitahara Sosuke.

Child... boy... seven years old... illegitimate...

Kaminodong was overwhelmed with emotion.

Kithara Sosuke suppressed a laugh, looked into Kamino Higashi's eyes and said, "Yes. He has just turned seven this year. Because he has been living abroad with his mother, he doesn't even have a formal identity and has never gone to school. This child

He was recognized recently, and I want him to have my surname of Beiyuan."

Kaminodong guessed something, but it was still a bit unbelievable. To be cautious, he asked thoughtfully: "Young Master, that child... will officially show up at dinner tomorrow, right?"

"Yes." Kithara Sosuke said briefly but firmly.

Kaminodong took a deep breath and suddenly tightened his grip on the crutch.

"He..." the old housekeeper asked as calmly as possible: "What's his name?"

"Yu Shu."

"Yu-ki?" Kanno Higashi repeated.

"Yes, it's leisurely and leisurely." Kitahara Sosuke said seriously, and then smiled: "After all, he is a child! He should be carefree, right?"

If anyone said in the past that someone could make the stubborn Kamino Higashi give in with just his eyes, that was definitely a joke, and it was a completely unfunny joke.

But now...

Kaminodong was silent for a long time. It was not until the twelve bells of the wall clock in the living room came that he finally smiled slowly.

"Yes, you are right." The old housekeeper said gently: "Kitahara Yushu... is a good name."

"It's great that you think so too." Kithara Sosuke smiled brightly: "Then...good night, Kamino."

"Good night...young master."

Seeing the young man happily going back to his room to sleep, Kannodong looked at the closed door and whispered: "Yushu?"

"—Your name is Hiroki, right?"

…………………………………………

"ah!"

Yonehara Sakurako got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Suddenly she saw a dark figure in front of her and screamed in fright.

"Keep your voice down, don't wake up the young master."

A familiar voice came, and Yonehara Sakurako, whose heart was beating fast, found out that it was the old housekeeper. She breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in a panic: "I'm sorry, Kamino-san."

"It's okay. Why are you running around outside in the middle of the night?" Kamino asked.

"Go...go to the toilet..." The girl felt that the old man's aura in front of her was unusual. She was a little scared, and she mustered up the courage to ask: "Why hasn't Kamino-san gone to rest yet? Staying up so late is not good for your health, young master.

If I know, I will definitely tell you tomorrow."

She noticed that the old man in front of her was dressed in formal clothes. He did not run out in pajamas like her. It was obvious that he had not rested since the day.

Her immediate boss was too diligent, which made an ordinary person like her look like a waste of food. But Yonehara Sakurako thought about it carefully, and it seemed that nothing major had happened recently except that the young master was suddenly addicted to doing crafts in the studio.

Then she heard the old housekeeper sigh.

"Yes... he cares about everyone and is kind to everyone. If the perfect score is 100 points, everyone will be satisfied with 90 points, but he insists on achieving 120 points, even sacrificing for it For one’s own interests…”

Yonehara Sakurako couldn't understand what he was talking about and stood there in embarrassment, feeling a little uneasy.

Kamino Higashi seems to be different tonight than usual.

"Yingzi." Kaminodong said suddenly.

"Hi!" Yonehara Sakurako said hurriedly.

"If there is an opportunity to control Japan...or even the world right now, and it doesn't cost much to get it, do you think we should seize it?" Kanno Higashi asked.

"This..." Sakurako Yonehara glanced at him secretly and said, "It shouldn't be... right?"

Kaminodong was stunned: "...Why?"

The girl thought for a while and said: "Some time ago, Qian Sang came to see the young master about the group's affairs. It seemed that there were signs of economic recovery recently, and some measures should be taken for the expansion of the group. Well..." The girl knew nothing about business. After thinking carefully for a while, he said hesitantly: "It seems that there are some layoffs, loans, adjustments to industrial structures, etc. Gansang also said that he could speed up the bankruptcy of some companies and facilitate acquisitions. But the young master did not agree. He said——"

"There will always be people left behind by the times, but this is not the reason for us to abandon them. Be patient, Shinji. There is no need to deprive others of their chance of survival just to increase our profits."

"Human ambitions are endless and will never be satisfied, but there is always a price to realize ambitions - there are others' costs and there is one's own. Rather than working hard and stepping on the bones of others to see the world, The position of Zhongshan is small, so it is better to relax a little and give up part of the profits so that everyone has room to stand. It is true that the group needs to make money, but it cannot be just for the sake of making money!"

"So Shinji, don't subconsciously regard everyone as your enemy. If thirty or fifty years later, when you look back on your life, you find that you have always been working on profits but not living a good life, then What a shame!"

Sakurako Yonehara tried her best to imitate Kitahara Sosuke's expression and repeated what he said at that time.

It's strange to say that when Shinji talked about the company earlier, she couldn't even remember a few words. Later, when the two of them discussed the focus of the group's recent development, the girl's brain seemed to be equipped with a filter, and she was stunned. She didn't remember a few words. But she remembered clearly the part where Kitahara Sosuke persuaded Shinji not to push others too hard, and even the tone was not much different.

So when Kamino Higashi listened to her talk, it felt like Kitahara Sosuke was sitting in front of him, with a smile on his face, not in a hurry, and said calmly -

"Don't use that child, Kamino, don't treat him as a tool. Whether it's artificial intelligence or a robot, since he already has life, I hope he can be happy and free, just like a real child. ."

——This is what you want to tell me but can’t say clearly, Aosuke?

Shenye Dong sighed softly, but also felt much relieved.

"Don't you want to go to the toilet? Then go quickly."

The old butler waved his hand and saw the girl quickly running to the toilet. He smiled, looked at the direction of the studio again, and walked slowly towards his direction with a cane.

Kitahara Yuki?
