His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy-Chapter 654
Chapter 654: THE WEIRDO BOSS
If the issue was just collapsing on the floor of a club, Yagi knew that Forest would not have emphasized the magnitude of the problem. After all, countless drunks fell after having too much. There had to be some more trouble brewing.
“Naturally, the people at the scene were scared, but everyone thought it was best if she was sent to a hospital. However, a man and a woman appeared and claimed to be willing to take her to the hospital since they were friends.” Forest said.
“They supported and carried her out of the club, but they were found unconscious in the parking lot later. They had been beaten up, and that party girl was nowhere to be seen. They did not see their attacker, but the theory is someone wanted the overdosed girl.” Forest finished.
Yagi frowned deeply. “There is a high possibility the man and woman were colluding with the supplier of the drug. If not, they would not have insisted on taking her, instead of waiting for the ambulance.”
“The matter was indeed suspicious.” Forest agreed. “However, the two people went to report the incident to the police. The police could not find anything wrong with their background or story. They were known to hang out with the girl, and they were not on any drugs, except alcohol.”
Yagi felt the background could not be so simple. The person behind the scenes might have considered the possibility of an investigation into the supply chain of the novel drug. Everything could be just a cover-up.
“Keep your eye on anything unusual in the underground market. We cannot afford to get on the wrong side of the government after the last incident.” He cautioned.
.....
“I am on the case, boss. If anything squeaks, I will know about it.” Forest said with his usual cheeky attitude.
Yagi almost ended the call in irritation when he remembered he needed some information. He wanted to know everything that was happening around Misaki during his period of inattention. Also... No, he refused to admit that he wanted to know a little more about a certain teacher.
“Can you send me all the information about the Blue Monarch Institute? Include all the information relating to Misaki. Do not live out any detail.” He emphasized with a subtle undertone.
Forest was surprised because his boss was meticulous. Moreover, he trusted his people, so there was no reason for him to ask about Misaki’s school. Everyone involved in the institute was investigated thoroughly before the enrolment was completed.
Most importantly, Forest handled the investigation of the Blue Monarch personally. And he sent all pertinent information to Yagi. There was no cause for him to believe that his data was erroneous. Unless something changed.
“Is there a problem?” Forest asked with apprehension. “Did something happen to Misaki?”
Yagi was annoyed by the inquisitive nature of his subordinate. This characteristic made him a great investigator for his intelligence network. But he was just too nosy. He had a pathological need to discover the truth about anything and everything.
“What could have happened to her with me around?” Yagi said with dissatisfaction. “I am just interested in keeping up with her life. It is my responsibility.”
Forest was speechless for a moment. He felt that his boss was behaving unusually, but there was nothing to criticize in his words. It was not like he dared to ask him why he had never shown such keenness in the past.
“I sent all the information about the Blue Monarch Institute to you, including the profiles of the workers there. I did not even leave out the gardeners.” Forest replied with a bit of sullenness in his heart that he could not voice.
By asking for the same information twice, Yagi was doubting his professionalism. He took pride in knowing everything of interest happening. He did not believe that he had overlooked anything. He even noted the children of government, military and police personnel in the file.
He was an expert.
“I want to know everything that has happened to Misaki since she joined the school. I am worried that she is not comfortable. Just do what I tell you.” Yagi was getting irritated because he could see that Forest was not going to give in without finding out his sudden interest in the school.
“Ooooh, why didn’t you say so earlier?” His earlier annoyance dissipated into the air. “Do not worry about this simple matter. I am your man. You should know I know everything I should know, and even more about what I should not.” Forest bragged.
Yagi was too annoyed by the narcissistic idiot. Why couldn’t he be normal and have the grace of a normal gangster?
“In that case, send me the information by morning. No later than that.” Yagi ordered.
“Fufufufufu!” Forest laughed dramatically with a heavy dose of self-satisfaction. “There is no need to waste time. I can send the information right away.”
Yagi was genuinely surprised. “What do you mean?”
“Naturally, I keep an eye on our Misaki. You cannot trust the children of rich people. What if they bullied our princess?” Forest huffed.
Yagi’s face darkened for two reasons. One, he did not like hearing the nonsensical man referring to Misaki as ‘our Misaki’ or ‘our princess’. Misaki was his niece and adopted daughter. Two, he felt even guiltier after learning that Forest was keeping an eye on the situation in school.
It meant that his subordinate was keener about his niece’s situation than he. The feeling of failing to live up to expectations filled his heart. He firmed his resolve to become a better father and guardian. He could not allow Forest to show him up.
“Why do you not send regular reports?” Yagi cleared his throat before speaking with the dignity of a yakuza boss.
Forest wanted to tell the truth, but he did not dare in case he ended up sleeping with the fishes. Could he say he had asked Yagi whether he should send regular reports and his boss said ‘no need’? He had probably already forgotten all about it by now.
Anyway, what mattered was Misaki.
Since Yagi was interested in following up with her and making sure she was living well, there was no need to get hung up on the details.
“What do you want to know?” Forest asked. “Most of Misaki’s life is quite boring. No one on our side has interfered with her life, so it is basically like a daily life anime.”
Yagi did not know much about anime, but he could guess. He hoped that it was a daily life without a romance angle. If those snot-nosed brats dared to look at his daughter the wrong way, he would make sure that they found themselves falling off a cliff.
Immediately, his mind drifted to the bullying incident.
“What can you tell me about a boy called Arata?” Yagi asked with immediate urgency.
He was surprised himself because he was sure this was the most important question.
When he asked about Misaki, he felt guilty because he knew in the depths of his heart that he was interested in finding out everything about Shio Emi. But ultimately, he chose to focus on his niece and make sure nothing strange would happen to her.
“Oh, are you asking about the incidents between the two children and the class?” Forest regained his energy. “Actually, it was not something complicated. It is just kids being kids. You do not have to worry about it.”
‘I want to worry.’ Yagi was once again annoyed.
If it was not out of necessity, he would not have spent his evening talking to a man. He would rather work or sleep even if he could not have a beautiful lady at his side. Shio Emi’s figure appeared in his mind with sudden clarity.
“I want details. Do not leave anything out.” Yagi ordered.
“Well, Misaki and Arata have been friends since Misaki joined the school. They were not extremely close, but they hung out quite often. When they grow up, they will probably be called childhood sweethearts.” Forest joked.
Yagi snorted. He would see who dared to say that.
“Anyway, you should know that Misaki is a huge fan of Nanami. She is totally obsessed with them. Like crazy stalker fan. Of course, she does not go too far with star-chasing, but she is quite committed to them.” He continued.
“Nanami?” Yagi could not understand the things Forest was saying.
“Do you live under a rock?” Forest shouted before realising that he had been a bit too abrupt. “I mean, it is understandable that you don’t know them. Nanami is a duet of twins who recently debuted as idols. Their music is powerful, and they have a good family background.”
Yagi was surprised to learn that Misaki had such an interest.
“Speaking of which, you have some loose relationship to them. Your semi-friend Kaito’s wife is actually related to the twins by blood. They are her direct cousins. From what I have gathered, she wrote most of their debut album.” Forest sounded excited as he talked about Akira.
“How was Kaito so lucky to get such a powerful wife?” He sighed. “How comes my boss is still single while that good-for-nothing assassin is living a blissful life with a wife who can fight, sing, cook and earn tons of money?”
Hearing the dramatic lament, Yagi could not take it anymore.
“Just send the information to my email!” He barked out angrily
On the other end, Forest looked at his phone with confusion.
His boss was a weirdo.
