Chapter 414: 283. I was wrong (Additional updates for leader Ji Xuan concluded)

Should it be called simple or should it be called light-hearted?

The sound emitted from this ancient music box was melodious, slow... and the monotonous melody became sadder the more one listened.

Click.

The spring wound down to its end, and the sound of the music box abruptly ceased.

"This music box... doesn’t seem quite suitable for Miss Shan Yuanmu at that age," Beichuan Si commented as he held the music box, expressing his thoughts.

Indeed, a music box given to a child should have a lighter tone than this one, yet the music box in Beichuan Si’s hands was nothing like that, its tune was overly sorrowful, utterly unsuitable for the young Shan Yuanmu Yuzi at the time.

However, having listened to this music box, Beichuan Si could now confirm it.

The chaotic, intermittent sounds he initially heard in the memory world of Shan Yuanmu Yuzi originated from this ancient music box.

Perhaps the music box represented Shan Yuanmu Yuzi’s nostalgia for her mother, this memory being expressed through the sound of the music box.

Not finding the memory from that time left a deep regret in the heart of Shan Yuanmu Yuzi...

After pondering the causes and consequences, Beichuan Si handed the music box to Shan Yuanmu who stood beside him, while discreetly sliding something else into his pocket.

"Are you about done looking, Mage Beichuan?"

Shan Yuanmu asked as he watched Beichuan Si leave the room.

"Yes, there’s nothing more to see here, we’ll stop for today, thank you very much Mr. Shan Yuan for your assistance. If you have other matters to attend to, please go ahead, don’t mind me, I can make my way home from here," Beichuan Si firmly thanked and suggested.

"How could I do that?" Shan Yuanmu disagreed, "Mage Beichuan came specially for Yuzi’s peculiar illness. I must at least see you off. Besides, shouldn’t we also discuss the compensation?"

Compensation?

Hearing this word, Beichuan Si’s gaze flickered for a moment before he waved his hand nonchalantly, "I really don’t care much about minor monetary compensation. If Miss Yuzi wakes up this time, I hope Mr. Shan Yuan could..."

He didn’t finish his words when Shan Yuanmu already understood.

Someone like him, involved in politics, was naturally very familiar with the subtleties in others’ tones, and he nodded with a smile, "Consider this matter a personal favor I owe to Mage Beichuan. Should you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask."

Another valuable favor secured.

Beichuan Si thought to himself.

There were many things in this world that money couldn’t achieve, but relationships could.

Securing a favor from someone at Shan Yuanmu’s level was undoubtedly a difficult task, as for someone like him, what needed to be done usually required just a simple gesture.

Nanami Qiao’s father, Nanami Member, was actually slightly behind Shan Yuanmu.

After all, Shan Yuanmu’s party had influence within Tokyo, supported by countless major consortia.

But this was also because Nanami Member had not yet become Ibaraki Governor. If Nanami Member succeeded, then Shan Yuanmu would certainly extend due courtesy.

Now, Salty Egg Sister’s university prospects looked hopeful, as long as her grades didn’t drop, she could freely choose from the universities in the city.

This was also something Beichuan Si did for her, after all, Beichuan Huili was his relative, if not Beichuan Si, who else in the world would care for her? No matter how Salty Egg she was, he must pull her up.

Shan Yuanmu first had the driver take Beichuan Si home, and then drove off.

In the car, Beichuan Si was not idle either, one question followed another.

Among them, the matter regarding where Shan Yuanmu Yuzi rented her apartment had been completely clarified.

But considering the time, Beichuan Si decided not to make the trip just yet.

He resolved to find a time to personally visit the apartment rented by Shan Yuanmu Yuzi.

In addition, the fully cordial demeanor of Shan Yuanmu also left a rather profound impression on Beichuan Si.

But if one thought about it carefully, such behavior was quite normal from the other party.

Firstly, Beichuan Divine Society had just established a branch in Tokyo, and in Gunma Prefecture, they had tens of thousands of instructors, becoming a recently popular organization. Moreover, there were rumors circulating about Beichuan Si himself in Ibaraki Prefecture.

Mage Beichuan —

It was evident, Hirasaka Ichiro frequently promoted Beichuan Si’s work there.

The incident at Ibaraki Prefecture Second Mental Hospital was known to all, but it was actually resolved single-handedly by Mage Beichuan.

Beichuan Si’s enigmatic image was also established.

With these two points, it was actually sufficient for Shan Yuanmu to express his goodwill.

Even if Beichuan Si himself had no particular abilities, standing behind him was Beichuan Divine Society, representing a potential movement of tens of thousands of votes, what party would refuse that?

"Although it might be slightly unfair to Shan Yuanmu, however—" Beichuan Si took an old diary from his pocket.

The name "Shan Yuanmu Riko" was clearly written on the diary cover.

To secretly keep and investigate another person’s wife’s diary was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

But returning the diary to Shan Yuanmu also wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Because there might be some messages about Shan Yuanmu Yuzi’s childhood within it.

It could be said that Beichuan Si could explain everything to Shan Yuanmu in detail and then, with his permission, read Shan Yuanmu Riko’s diary.
