Chapter 875: Another Reversal
The person on the screen in front of them was dressed exactly the same as the one who had appeared on the giant electronic screen in Shibuya three days ago.
The only difference was that this time, he wasn't wearing a mask; the face revealed was that of Yu Luoquan.
It was estimated that this one was the real deal.
"It seems your feelings for Aiko aren't just empty words. Although I may not be in a position to say such things, at least I don't have to worry about you two from now on."
Yu Luoquan revealed a faint smile; he must have thought his affectionate appearance was very handsome.
But the expressions of the other guests present were gloomier than the last.
You damn bastard, just to test whether Jinggong Ya Zuo would protect Iwasaki Aiko, you didn't treat our lives as lives, did you?
If this bomb had been real, wouldn't everyone present have been finished?
Liao Er had already angrily crushed the silver wine cup in his hand; not erupting on the spot was already out of respect for Jinggong Ya Zuo's status as Crown Prince.
But this matter couldn't just end like this; an explanation would have to be given later. The security guards nearby were like straw bags; seeing the situation go wrong, their first thought was actually to hide.
If it really had been a bomb, and if Big Sister hadn't risked her life to block it, everyone present would have been done for!
And when Yu Luoquan saw Luo Quan's face looking so ugly, he probably still felt in his heart that he had killed two birds with one stone.
If he could completely break the relationship between the Crown Prince and Luo Quan this way, then he could focus wholeheartedly on being good to Iwasaki Aiko.
"Additionally, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
Yu Luoquan looked at Jinggong Ya Zuo with a smile: "The theft of the Three Sacred Treasures more than half a month ago was also my doing."
Mr. Mitsui Yuichi took a fancy to my makeup skills; they paid me a huge sum of money and provided advanced technical equipment, allowing me to disguise myself and enter the Imperial Palace to steal the Three Sacred Treasures.
I didn't intend to get involved in the struggle between your Imperial Family and the conglomerates at first, but since you snatched away the girl I love most, I agreed, wanting to take revenge.
Originally, today's plan was to sneak into the Imperial Palace to steal the Kusanagi Sword while you were holding the engagement banquet here, but I've changed my mind now.
I have already clearly confessed the mastermind; whether you believe it or not is your own business. Today's cola bomb is fake.
But if I hear in the future that you aren't treating Aiko well, then what you receive next might be a real bomb."
After speaking, Yu Luoquan disappeared, and the screen returned to normal.
A series of explosive news left all the guests present dumbfounded.
No matter how rich their imaginations were, they would never have guessed that Yu Luoquan was actually the Reiwa Phantom Thief who had caused a ruckus at the Imperial Palace and Narita Airport a while ago.
That thief who had left the entire Tokyo police force helpless actually had such a connection with the Crown Princess.
Even more outrageous was that the head of Japan's second-largest conglomerate, Mitsui Yuichi, was actually the mastermind behind the scenes.
Come to think of it, the Mitsui family really hadn't come.
Although they weren't the only conglomerate that didn't come, and no one had thought much of it originally, connecting it to Yu Luoquan's words made it quite intriguing.
If this had happened in private, the Imperial Family could have kept it under wraps by issuing a gag order.
But this engagement banquet had gathered so many reporters, and when the fake bomb exploded just now, except for Luo Quan, these few reporters were the only ones standing.
This was the professional ethics of reporters; when faced with their lives and the news, they chose the latter.
Through the cameras, all this earth-shattering news had been broadcasted; the domestic and foreign public who had been watching the Crown Prince's engagement banquet were already in an uproar.
A group of people looked at Jinggong Ya Zuo and Iwasaki Aiko on the stage, at a loss.
Several samurai had already started making calls to inquire about the situation inside the Imperial Palace, and Jinggong Ya Zuo's second uncle also walked onto the stage to take charge of the situation.
Luo Quan glanced down at the Yu Luoquan double who had been knocked unconscious by her excessive force, and had no interest in staying any longer.
She pried open the so-called cola bomb and sniffed the liquid inside.
It really was cola, but it was cherry-flavored; it was simply cult-like.
Tossing it to the ground, Luo Quan turned her head and looked at her younger brother: "Let's go."
"Aren't we staying to demand an explanation?" Liao Er clearly didn't intend to let it go just like that.
Luo Quan smiled helplessly: "What explanation do you need for a fake bomb? At worst, we just won't attend engagement banquets in the future."
Hearing his sister say this, Liao Er couldn't find any reason to refute it.
Although having things turn out like this was indeed very annoying, it really wasn't Jinggong Ya Zuo's side's fault.
The one who really caused the trouble was that Yu Luoquan, but he was too cunning, directly remote-controlling someone to attend the banquet; there was no way to track him down at all.
Then what else could they do?
They could only swallow this bitter pill.
The engagement banquet ended in a mess; the guests left one after another, and the elders of both the groom's and bride's sides were also disgraced.
Fortunately, Yu Luoquan gave them a target to vent their anger on, and that was the Mitsui conglomerate.
Regardless of whether the mastermind was really Mitsui Yuichi, an investigation had to be conducted; otherwise, how could this pent-up anger be vented?
Of course, it wasn't just those on stage who were filled with anger; Luo Quan was also holding back a belly full of it.
This Yu Luoquan had threatened her and her family more than once.
This was purely the behavior of a terrorist; it couldn't be lightly dismissed just because his bomb had no lethality.
The Tokyo police not having the ability to find his location didn't mean she didn't have a way.
After returning to the hotel, Luo Quan directly dialed Su Xing's number.
This Russian genius hacker girl she had signed previously had been studying at Qinghua.
Although she hadn't actively contacted her much, Su Xing still reported her usual achievements to her regularly.
For example, a while ago, she had boastfully said she had sneaked into the backend of Tesla's internal network, wanting to help the Nikola company get some useful intelligence or something.
After Luo Quan learned about this, she directly scolded her over video, and only stopped when she saw Su Xing shedding tears pitifully.
Hacker skills weren't meant to be used in these places; the young Su Xing clearly didn't understand this principle yet, and Luo Quan had an obligation to teach her the correct outlook on life and values.
And now, the opportunity for her to correctly apply her abilities had arrived.
"Sister Luo Quan, I really haven't hacked into any company's internal network recently."
Su Xing suddenly received Luo Quan's call and thought she was here to scold her again, so she hurriedly explained.
Luo Quan smiled when she heard this: "Don't be so paranoid; I'm calling you today because I want you to do me a favor."
"A favor? Do you want me to hack into some company's internal network or their security system!" Su Xing appeared exceptionally excited, as if her hobby in daily life was doing this.
"Not that." Luo Quan said helplessly, "I want you to find a person; he is also a hacker, his name is Yu Luoquan. You can search for the latest news in Japan."
"A hacker, huh? Dealing with peers is what I like best."
A glimmer of light flashed in Su Xing's eyes, and her fingers immediately started clattering on the keyboard.
Five minutes later, Su Xing understood the ins and outs of the matter and looked at Luo Quan, saying: "Sister Luo Quan, leave this matter to me. This person left such obvious traces on the internet; it's not hard to find at all. Compared to that clown from before, his level is much worse!"
The clown Su Xing mentioned was that hacker who had previously stolen Apple user information and also played the American FBI.
This hacker was currently a legendary figure in the global hacker circle, with many admirers, and Su Xing was one of them; at the same time, she was also determined to surpass the clown and become another legend in the hacker circle.
Of course, these were dreams to be fulfilled in the future.
Right now, she had to find this Yu Luoquan's location first.
Just as Su Xing said, this Yu Luoquan's methods weren't clever enough to leave no traces like the "clown"; among hackers, he could only be considered upper-middle level.
The Tokyo police couldn't find him, purely because these people were truly too incompetent.
If it were in Huaxia, he wouldn't have been able to escape at Narita Airport that day; dozens of helicopters would have surrounded him in the sky long ago. Could he have flown to Mount Fuji?
Unable to rely on the police, Luo Quan decided to take action herself to teach this bastard who had involved her and her family and friends twice a good lesson.
Su Xing spent about two hours finding his location without alerting him.
It was in a warehouse located in the Meguro District.
The newly appointed deputy minister actually had some substance; he had deduced Yu Luoquan's psychology and guessed that he would continue to live in the Meguro District.
It was a pity that when facing someone who could change their appearance at will, it was useless even if they went to check ten times.
"Hello, is this Senior Jinggong?" Luo Quan called Jinggong Ya Zuo.
"Luo Quan!" Jinggong Ya Zuo originally didn't have the face to talk to Luo Quan, but he didn't expect her to take the initiative to call. Overjoyed, he hurriedly said: "Regarding today's matter, I must apologize to you..."
"We'll talk about that later; I've already found Yu Luoquan's location." Luo Quan interrupted him.
Jinggong Ya Zuo's pupils shook: "What should I do?"
"You immediately notify the police to surround the Rihe Warehouse in the Meguro District, but no one is allowed to get within a hundred meters.
No matter how many people run out of the warehouse, control them directly; Yu Luoquan must be among them."
After Luo Quan finished speaking, she hung up the phone and then stepped on the gas pedal.
At the same time, the samurai who were originally preparing to demand an explanation from the Mitsui family suddenly received orders to immediately head to the Meguro District, saying that they had obtained Yu Luoquan's specific address and needed them to cooperate in the arrest.
The Mitsui family was right there; the monk might run, but the temple couldn't.
But Yu Luoquan was a lone wolf; if he ran this time, it would be as hard as ascending to heaven to catch him in the future.
So the samurai immediately drove toward the Meguro District.
Half an hour later, Luo Quan's car drove to the outside of this warehouse named "Rihe".
This place was originally an industry under the Mitsui conglomerate, storing many auto parts, but because of a big fire, it was all burned down, and the entire warehouse was abandoned, remaining unused until now.
The main gate outside the warehouse was locked with a big padlock; Luo Quan grabbed the chain and snapped it with a pull of her arms.
If this Yu Luoquan was vigilant enough, he would definitely have installed surveillance cameras near the warehouse and would definitely have already discovered her.
If there was a tunnel under the warehouse, then she would definitely return empty-handed this time.
If there wasn't, this bastard could just wait to be brought to justice by her.
This place was sparsely populated and had no reporters; even if he really flew to the sky and escaped by helicopter, she could drag him down!
Harboring such thoughts, Luo Quan kicked open the warehouse door.
At this time, a large number of police and Imperial Palace samurai had also surrounded the Rihe Warehouse tightly.
And they strictly followed Luo Quan's instructions, standing obediently fifty meters away from the warehouse, waiting for Yu Luoquan to walk right into the trap.
And the reporters who rushed over after hearing the news were all taken into cars, and all camera lenses were required to be turned off.
Although they didn't understand why such arrangements were made this time, under the fierce gaze of the samurai, they could only comply.
On the other side, after entering the warehouse, Luo Quan sensed Yu Luoquan's presence.
Although it was pitch black inside, with only the light from the doorway casting a narrow triangular path, there was a familiar smell of cherry cola in the air.
It was exactly what she had smelled when she was dismantling the liquid bomb just now.
"You'd better come out voluntarily, Yu Luoquan; don't force me to take action, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."
Luo Quan closed the door with a bang, letting the entire warehouse return to darkness.
Her intuition told her that Yu Luoquan hadn't left, but she didn't know where he was, which was why she took the initiative to communicate with him.
"Miss Luo Quan, I remember I have no grudge against you, why do you want to go against me time and time again?"
The voice came from all directions, as if it were using a broadcast.
"Me go against you?" Luo Quan laughed: "Isn't it you who has been threatening the safety of me and my family, creating one farce after another for your so-called love?"
"You don't understand my feelings for Aiko at all!" Yu Luoquan suddenly shouted, very agitated.
"I don't care what reasons you have, nor do I care how many hardships you have; I'm not interested in what your love with Iwasaki Aiko is like.
I only know that you have provoked me, and in front of the whole world at that."
Luo Quan said with a calm expression.
This was actually the reason she came to find Yu Luoquan.
If the reporters hadn't broadcasted the scene of the engagement banquet at the time, this matter could have been let go.
But now that it had been seen by so many people, she inevitably had to make Yu Luoquan pay the price.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and prevent similar situations from happening in the future.
Although Yu Luoquan's voice came from the broadcast, Luo Quan's astonishing hearing also allowed her to discover sounds in this space other than the broadcast.
She rushed toward the direction of the sound; the road was full of heavy metal racks.
But she, having opened the Eight Inner Gates, could punch through steel plates thicker than her own body, and the wind from her punches could even overturn the metal racks holding the goods.
In an instant, the entire warehouse seemed to have turned into a blacksmith's shop, with loud clanging sounds coming from inside.
And these movements in the warehouse were heard clearly by the police and samurai fifty meters away.
But hindered by orders, not a single person stepped forward. ===== CHAPTER 876 =====
