Chapter 728: All Members Confirmed
The convoy sped down the highway under the night sky.
In a spacious SUV, Shen Qingzhu glanced at Wei Dong and the Knight sitting in the back, lost in thought.
“So, you guys come from that… cult?”
“It’s called the Shangye Society,” the Knight corrected seriously. “It’s a professional organization active in the mist.”
“Oh.”
“…”
“Qi Ye, is that fat guy really okay?” Shen Qingzhu seemed uninterested in the Shangye Society and directly asked Lin Qi Ye.
“Don’t worry, he just needs to sleep to recover, but we’re not sure how long he’ll need to sleep.”
Shen Qingzhu nodded slightly and turned to the blue-robed girl beside Lin Qi Ye. “What about Jialan?”
Jialan patted her chest and smiled mischievously, “How could anything happen to me? But you, it’s been so long since we last met, and now you’ve become a mafia godfather? Very cool!”
Shen Qingzhu smiled but didn’t respond.
“I have a question,” Wei Dong couldn’t help but speak up. “If I’m not mistaken, this is the largest underworld force in the Kansai region, the Black Kill Group, right? Who exactly are you, and how can you command so many members of the Black Kill Group?”
Shen Qingzhu glanced at him, somewhat puzzled.
“I’m the group leader; isn’t that obvious?”
Wei Dong was stunned.
As someone who had been mingling here for a long time, secretly gathering information about the “human circle,” Wei Dong certainly knew what kind of force the Black Kill Group was and had heard the legendary stories about its leader.
But he never expected that this rumored leader was actually a member of the Fifth Special Team of Daxia?
“Did you know much about the underworld before you came here?” Wei Dong asked.
“?” Shen Qingzhu was confused. “Why would I understand this stuff?”
“Then have you conducted in-depth research on Japanese culture?”
“Japan? I’ve never been in contact with it.”
“…Then you should be able to speak Japanese, right?”
“I can say three sentences,” Shen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment. “Now I probably can say five.”
Wei Dong: …
Wei Dong stared at Shen Qingzhu, his eyes filled with deep confusion. He couldn’t understand how someone like Shen Qingzhu, who seemed so naive, could become an underworld legend and command the entire Black Kill Group.
Could it be… that this is the legendary genius undercover agent?
“By the way,” Shen Qingzhu seemed to remember something and turned to Lin Qi Ye seriously, “My people have found Cao Yuan’s whereabouts.”
…
Tokyo.
Chiyoda District.
A detention center.
Behind the metal bars, Cao Yuan sat in the corner of a small room, looking at a beam of sunlight streaming through the window, lost in deep confusion.
The day before yesterday, after recovering in the “Pure Land,” he bid farewell to An Qingyu and confidently set off on a journey to find Lin Qi Ye…
However, just as he returned to Tokyo from the “Pure Land,” after wandering for half a day and sitting on the Shinkansen ready to leave Tokyo, a plump middle-aged woman in the carriage suddenly screamed, claiming that a pervert had molested her.
By the time the police arrived, the panicked middle-aged woman had already collapsed to the ground in fright. However, because there were too many people in the carriage at the time, and she was too scared, it seemed she hadn’t clearly seen what the person who molested her looked like. As a result, everyone around her was subjected to the police’s simple questioning.
It was better not to ask; once they did, there was no identification, and the fierce-looking Cao Yuan was singled out by the police.
Thus, he, who had just escaped from the “Pure Land” prison, was taken to the detention center in Chiyoda District and locked up, preparing for interrogation.
Cao Yuan worried that if he resisted, it would attract the attention of a large number of police officers. He couldn’t draw his sword and use the Forbidden Ruins, so he could only obediently follow the police to the detention center, waiting for an opportunity to sneak out later.
Cao Yuan thought about it all night but still couldn’t understand how such an absurd thing could happen to him!
Since he was young, it seemed he had a special connection with prisons. First, he was locked up in the police station due to the Forbidden Ruins going out of control, then transferred to a fasting center. After finally managing to get out for a while, he encountered Lin Qi Ye and was locked up again. Now he had become a member of the Fifth Special Team, yet he was still tragically imprisoned in the “Pure Land” for two years, and now he was in a detention center…
The concept of prison seemed to have always been imprisoning him.
He felt like a beast trapped in a cage of fate, unable to gain true freedom from beginning to end.
In the narrow and dim detention center, Cao Yuan sighed deeply.
At that moment, a police officer walked in from outside, knocked on his cell door, and said, “You can go now.”
Cao Yuan was taken aback and looked up in confusion.
“Someone has bailed you out,” the officer said while opening the cell door. “With the influence of the Kazematsuri family, your background is quite solid. Hurry up and leave; don’t come back again.”
Kazematsuri family?
Cao Yuan walked out of the cell in confusion but didn’t ask much and walked straight out.
As soon as he stepped out of the detention center, several cars stopped at the entrance. A little girl dressed in a black sakura kimono, with a white long sword hanging at her waist, leaned against a car. When she saw Cao Yuan walking out, she dusted off her hands and approached him.
“Are you Cao Yuan?” she asked.
Cao Yuan nodded, “Who are you…”
“My name is Yuzuriha, and I’m now the young master of the Kazematsuri family,” the little girl smiled slightly. “I’m here to pick you up on behalf of Brother Qi Ye. Come with me.”
Qi Ye?
Hearing those two words, Cao Yuan’s pupils suddenly constricted.
“You’re the young master of the Kazematsuri family and know Lin Qi Ye?” He glanced at the black vehicles around and asked warily, “How can you prove it?”
Yuzuriha turned her head, shrugged helplessly, took out a phone from her pocket, dialed a number, and handed it to Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan took the phone and held it to his ear.
A few seconds later, a familiar voice came from the other end of the line:
“Cao Yuan, long time no see.”
…
Inside the car, after Lin Qi Ye finished the call with Cao Yuan, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“Letting a female member of the Black Kill Group pretend to be molested and then framing him to get him into the detention center to control his freedom… Your Black Kill Group’s methods are really domineering.”
Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow. “There’s no other way. At that time, when those people found him in Tokyo, he was about to take the Shinkansen to leave. They didn’t dare to act recklessly to force him to stay, fearing it would alert him, so they could only use this method…
At least the outcome is good.”
Lin Qi Ye nodded. “It’s just that he might feel a bit frustrated…”
“By the way, have you finished your business?”
“Finished.”
“What’s next?”
Lin Qi Ye pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, “Since we’ve contacted Cao Yuan, and he said he knows the whereabouts of An Qingyu and Jiang Er, now that the locations of all members have been confirmed, we should notify them to meet up, and then…
We’ll return to the country.”
