Chapter 631: Welcoming the Chief Leader
Yumigami Haruki’s expression stiffened. “No… I originally had other things to do, but that matter failed halfway through, so I came to be a host… No, it’s because I ran out of money that I…”
As he spoke, Yumigami Haruki almost got himself tangled up in his own words. He looked at Lin Qiye with a strange expression and asked, “What about you? As an intruder, why did you come here to be a host?”
“Like you, to make some money,” Lin Qiye paused, “and to avoid being tracked by some people.”
“Who?”
“The Hanchuan family.”
Hearing those three words, Yumigami Haruki’s brows furrowed slightly. “The Hanchuan family is tracking you? You… wait, yesterday Hanchuan Shi severed the Yamasaki Bridge because of you?”
“Sort of. The blade that fell from the sky at that time was meant to kill me.”
Yumigami Haruki stared at Lin Qiye, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality. He had come here to be a host with the intention of using the local information network to find out what had happened at the Yamasaki Bridge yesterday, but he didn’t expect to meet the instigator directly upon arrival.
“Why does Hanchuan Shi want to kill you?”
“This matter is a bit complicated…”
Lin Qiye recounted the events leading up to this point to Yumigami Haruki, including the situation with Yuzuriha Rina. After he finished, Yumigami Haruki’s gaze toward him changed.
“Yuzuriha Kurotetsu’s daughter has been by your side all along?” Yumigami Haruki’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “So, she really was in Yokohama before?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong?”
“…Nothing.”
It seemed that the prophecy Shizumi Shouta received earlier was correct… it was just that he hadn’t found her. Yumigami Haruki sighed.
“You know Yuzuriha Kurotetsu?” Lin Qiye noticed that Yumigami Haruki’s expression changed significantly upon hearing about Yuzuriha Rina’s existence.
“Of course I know… Moreover, like Hanchuan Shi, I’ve been searching for his daughter.” Yumigami Haruki paused. “But I didn’t expect she had been by your side all along.”
“Why are you all looking for her? What secret does she hold?” Lin Qiye asked, voicing his doubts.
Yumigami Haruki was about to say something but hesitated for a moment, glancing around before shaking his head at Lin Qiye.
“It’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s change places tonight.”
Seeing Yumigami Haruki’s seriousness, Lin Qiye nodded. “Okay.”
…
Somewhere in Osaka.
Dozens of black sedans sped down the spacious road, the massive convoy causing surrounding vehicles to instinctively yield. In one of the comfortable luxury vehicles, Shen Qingzhu sat quietly in the back seat, gazing out at the passing scenery with a deep sense of confusion.
Where exactly were these subordinates taking him?
After meeting with Asakura Ken that evening, Inomori Yu arranged for vehicles to take a large convoy out of Kyoto overnight.
Shen Qingzhu thought this trip would be like the previous ones, just a tour of a subordinate’s territory, but who knew he would be sitting for several hours? Although he felt completely bewildered, he maintained a cold and indifferent expression, as if everything was under control.
Finally, the vehicles stopped at the entrance of a skyscraper in Osaka.
As soon as Shen Qingzhu saw the building, he remembered that he had brought people here before, and a shootout had occurred. Later, this place became one of the Black Kill Group’s territories, belonging to their own domain.
At this moment, over a hundred members of the Yamamoto Group, dressed in suits, were already waiting at the entrance of the skyscraper, standing in two lines as if waiting for something.
Several subordinates quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Shen Qingzhu. Wearing the flowing cloud haori that symbolized his position as the group leader, he calmly scanned the crowd and stepped toward the building’s entrance.
At the same time, the hundreds of Yamamoto Group members on both sides respectfully bowed deeply and shouted in unison, “Welcome, Group Leader!!”
Shen Qingzhu walked past them with an expressionless face, exuding a faint aura of authority. Asakura Ken had long been waiting at the entrance, also bowing to Shen Qingzhu before leading the way into the building.
Behind him, hundreds of members from the Black Kill Group and Yamamoto Group followed in an orderly manner.
Shen Qingzhu took the elevator to the top floor of the building. A few subordinates stood before a magnificent door and opened it for him.
Behind the door was a spacious and luxurious office.
Shen Qingzhu walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city for a moment, then leisurely sat down in the central swivel chair. He took a cigarette from a subordinate, lit it, and calmly looked at Asakura Ken and several senior Yamamoto Group officials in front of him.
“Group Leader, I have already sent someone to investigate the personnel deployment of the Hanchuan family’s territories in Osaka. It should take about five days to get results. Once I clarify their deployment, I will deliver the results to your desk immediately for your decision.”
Shen Qingzhu sat there, the burning cigarette in his mouth, quietly staring at Asakura Ken without speaking.
Asakura Ken felt Shen Qingzhu’s piercing gaze and became somewhat flustered. After much hesitation, he tentatively spoke up, “Do you think five days is too long? Then… three days, I will definitely deliver the results within three days!”
Shen Qingzhu continued to silently gaze at him.
Asakura Ken’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Under Shen Qingzhu’s pressure, he felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his shoulders, incredibly heavy.
“Two days! Within two days! I will definitely figure out their deployment!” Asakura Ken gritted his teeth and directly compressed the timeline to the extreme.
In these two days, even if the entire Yamamoto Group had to stay awake, they must uncover the Hanchuan family’s secrets!
Seeing Asakura Ken looking like he was about to collapse, Shen Qingzhu knew the timing was about right. If he continued to play along, he might reveal a flaw, so he slowly closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
Asakura Ken finally breathed a sigh of relief; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Is this the pressure of the Group Leader…
It makes one feel utterly incapable of resisting.
However, it was clear that the Group Leader was a person who pursued efficiency and seemed to have a thorough understanding of the Yamamoto Group’s situation, knowing exactly where their limits lay…
What a master strategist!
With such a brilliant Group Leader in the Black Kill Group, it wouldn’t be long before the entire Japanese underworld would bow to them!
Asakura Ken’s admiration for Shen Qingzhu was beyond measure. He walked to the door and said something to the subordinates on both sides. Soon after, six or seven youthful and graceful young women arrived at the office, standing in a line before Shen Qingzhu.
“Group Leader, you might feel a bit lonely and bored these days. These are all excellent talents cultivated by our Yamamoto Group. Please… give them some guidance.” Asakura Ken shot Shen Qingzhu a knowing look.
Shen Qingzhu frowned slightly and coldly said, “Eight of them!”
