Chapter 546: Not Keeping One's Word
With buckets of cold water poured down, Muranishi Kōichi, Nakajima Hiroshi, and the Watagawa father and son woke up one after another. Their hands and feet were tied, and their mouths were stuffed with rags, not letting them make a sound. The first thing they did when they opened their eyes was naturally to look at the dozen or so people surrounding them, while widening their eyes and struggling for their lives.
Wang Yan sat on a stool not far away, smoking, and clapped his hands to attract their attention, letting them calm down.
"You all know me, right? Then there's no need for an introduction. I invited you here because Eguchi Toshinari wants to buy your lives. He promised to hand over all the businesses of your Sanhe Society in Shinjuku to me. However, I think you should have a choice, so I plan to give you a chance to survive. It depends on who pays more, you or Eguchi Toshinari. I don't know if you want it?"
Seeing no one speaking, Wang Yan pointed to one: "Chairman Muranishi, then let's start with you. Come, take the rag out of his mouth and let him speak."
The rag in his mouth was taken away. Muranishi Kōichi gasped for breath, spat twice, raised his head, and said, "Wang Yan, you crossed the line. Even if you are given the businesses we control, you won't be able to operate them."
"Chairman Muranishi, I am asking if you want to live, not asking you to warn me here. You have too much nonsense. I will give you another chance to speak again."
Muranishi Kōichi, lying on the ground, let out a long breath and nodded in resignation. "My property can all be given to you, but you must guarantee the safety of my family."
Muranishi Kōichi was not young, and they all lived together. Tie Tou went to kill those who protected him, and the whole family was tied over.
Now Wang Yan was the knife and he was the fish. Except for giving money, there was no other choice. He knew that the Watagawa father and son and Nakajima Hiroshi were extremely defensive. Now Wang Yan had tied them all over, and those guarding subordinates probably didn't fare much better than his subordinates. Looking at it this way, people had made up their minds. If they couldn't get money from him, they would definitely cut the weeds and remove the roots. He and his family would definitely not live. And before they died, they would definitely suffer inhuman torture.
He didn't think he could withstand this kind of unnecessary torture. Since it was a destined thing, it was difficult to fly with wings, so why make futile struggles?
"Chairman Muranishi is sensible and knows the current affairs, saving us trouble and setting a good example for them." Wang Yan waved his hand. "Come, untie Chairman Muranishi and let him rest on the side. Take the cloth off their mouths and see what they mean?"
Muranishi Kōichi was moved to the side, rubbing his wrists with bared teeth; the binding was really too tight. And the Watagawa father and son, who finally could speak, reacted similarly to Muranishi Kōichi before, all gasping for breath and spitting.
The rags stuffed in their mouths were all found in their homes. They were either torn from someone's clothes or rags found somewhere. What the taste was, one could imagine.
After a while, Watagawa Tarō said weakly, "We will also give, as long as you guarantee our safety and guarantee not to harm our family."
Watagawa Kyōhei hurriedly followed up, "We can give you all the property under our name, please don't harm us."
Wang Yan knew what their intentions were, nothing more than keeping the green hills, not afraid of no firewood. They wanted to save their lives first, and then go back to organize power, whether it was to take revenge on him or to grab territory and make money again, they were all roads. People were the foundation. The principle of saving people and losing land, people and land are both saved, was just this truth.
Even knowing their plans, Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction, gratified by their sensibility. "Untie them too, and let this kid speak."
The remaining one was naturally Nakajima Hiroshi. This guy's eyes were wide open, staring dead at Wang Yan, wishing he could kill Wang Yan directly. At this moment, when the rag in his mouth was taken, he spat an old phlegm toward Wang Yan.
"Damn Chinese pigs, I want to kill you, I must kill you."
Without Wang Yan speaking, the little brother on the side kicked Nakajima Hiroshi in the mouth.
Compared to Muranishi Kōichi and the Watagawa father and son, Nakajima Hiroshi's value was much smaller, because he was not at the same level as them. His property, except for that house, was at most another bar. That little thing didn't matter whether it was there or not.
Looking at Nakajima Hiroshi on the ground who was still shouting for his life despite the pain, Wang Yan waved his hand. "Didn't we prepare iron rods before? Use them on him."
Wang Yan had been very displeased with this Nakajima Hiroshi and had long wanted to kill him. Originally, if he had honestly cooperated, it would have been fine, but he had to be quick-mouthed, so he had to be cleaned up. And on the other hand, it could also serve as a warning to the Watagawa father and son and Muranishi Kōichi on the side.
So in the time that followed, Nakajima Hiroshi gave them a vivid lesson, letting them know what the consequences of not cooperating were. Iron rods were nailed into the fingers one by one, combined with the wailing of extreme pain, this scene was very warning.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. Please forgive my previous disrespect. I will cooperate, I will definitely cooperate, and give all my property to you, please stop."
When the third finger was nailed, Nakajima Hiroshi surrendered. It wasn't that he couldn't hold on; he had surrendered at the first one, but it was too painful, and the huge pain made him faint once. Before he could surrender, the second one was nailed down. It was Wang Yan who said to let him slow down and feel the pain, so he had the opportunity to beg for mercy.
"Nail another one to deepen the impression, so as not to have so many little thoughts later." Wang Yan ignored Nakajima Hiroshi's screams and turned to look at the trembling Watagawa father and son and Muranishi Kōichi on the side. "As far as I know, he always considered himself a samurai and advocated the spirit of Bushido. Now it seems that he is not a real samurai. You are very good, quite straightforward, and didn't let us spend much effort. A lawyer will come over in a while to sign a contract with you. Go through the change procedures tomorrow, and then you will have nothing to do with me.
As for your relatives, don't worry, we won't do anything to them. Of course, the premise is that everything goes smoothly. I hope you can cooperate and don't let me down. Otherwise, I guarantee you will be worse than him, understand?"
The three of them bowed honestly, and said "Hai" in unison.
Wang Yan found Tie Tou. "You keep an eye on it here. Go and handle all the procedures tomorrow. If there is a problem, call me at any time."
Tie Tou responded and saw Wang Yan leave, only then did he start to let people clean up, and at the same time found someone to send some wine and food over, not forgetting to bandage the wounds of Nakajima Hiroshi who had already fainted. The damage Nakajima Hiroshi received was double: the iron rod being hammered in and pulled out was one, and his failure to persist in the spirit of Bushido was another. Pain plus no face, fainting was the best choice...
Changing cars twice, Wang Yan carefully returned to Fan Lili's home. If he was investigated, he had been sleeping at home all along. Although there was basically no such possibility, the caution that should be there must be there, as the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.
In the house, the TV in the living room was on, and Fan Lili, wearing pajamas and covered with a thin blanket, was sleeping soundly on the sofa. It could be seen that she didn't want to sleep, but she couldn't hold on after all; it was too late.
Ignoring it, Wang Yan first took off his clothes and threw them aside, went to the bathroom to wash, removed the bloody smell he was carrying, and then came back to the living room wrapped in a bath towel with his bare upper body, turned off the TV, and gently but forcefully picked up Fan Lili along her neck and knees, turned around and walked upstairs. It wasn't that he wanted to do anything, it was really that sleeping on the sofa for a night would cause back pain the next day, which was also for Fan Lili's sake.
Perhaps due to the lack of a sense of security, as soon as she was picked up by Wang Yan, Fan Lili, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing that it was her man, her tense body relaxed, and at the same time, she stretched out her arms to wrap around the man's neck and asked listlessly, "How did the matter go? Is it smooth?"
"Of course it's smooth." Holding Fan Lili and stepping on the stairs, Wang Yan said, "If there are no accidents, starting from the day after tomorrow, there will be no Sanhe Society in Tokyo."
"Tongzhou Society replaces it?"
"Impossible, the Tongzhou Society cannot replace the Sanhe Society, because it is an organization led by Chinese. Although we don't admit that we are gangsters, the Metropolitan Police Department won't see it that way. On the contrary, they will determine that we are Japan's largest Chinese criminal group and want to destroy us. So in the future, just earn money honestly, try not to cause trouble, and develop quietly."
Fan Lili gave a hum and didn't speak again, she was sleepy.
Arriving upstairs, they didn't do much activity. Covering with a small quilt, they closed their eyes and slept.
The next day, because he returned late last night, he didn't get up to run in the morning, but slept until after nine o'clock. It wasn't until Fan Lili, who was in the same bed, got up that he got out of bed.
Fan Lili yawned. "Didn't ask you yesterday, didn't you say you were going to hold some launch? How is it?"
Wang Yan, who was showing his colorful body, was turning over his clothes there. He said, "It can be considered a complete success. Anyway, those reporters looked quite satisfied yesterday and promised to report it well today. How it goes specifically depends on the sales situation later. Now it's just pre-sale. I plan to let the company's people go to the street to display it. The production line will take more than ten days to debug, and it will be at least half a month before it can be shipped. It's still early."
"Then are you going to the company in a while?"
"Anything?"
Fan Lili nodded. "Isn't it that clothes have been selling well recently? You gave me another sum of money before. I was thinking, should I go find a shop to sell our own clothes? And what you said before about designing it yourself, should it also start?"
This was when Wang Yan mortgaged the assets of the Tongzhou Society to subsidize the VCD factory, and there was some money left over, so he transferred two million to Fan Lili. After all, he only had this one woman, and they slept quite well. Recently, because the clothing factory had good revenue, she had some career ambition. Giving some money to help her develop faster was also a pleasant thing for body and mind.
Wang Yan naturally wouldn't refuse this kind of thing he had already promised. "Okay, then after we eat, I'll go with you to see the shop in a good location. As for the clothing design, didn't you already recruit two designers? Wait for me to produce the sketches in these two days, and let them design it again. Don't worry, the renovation will take a month or two. At that time, the new brand will also be registered, and the clothes will also be produced, just right."
Fan Lili liked Wang Yan's straightforwardness and directness, and he never made her unhappy. Of course, it wasn't that she was really not unhappy. Before, when destroying the Tainan Gang, she was unhappy. But that was different. She found that she couldn't run away, which was a helplessness, not the trivial daily life in general life. In life, she thought Wang Yan was a peerless good man. She once felt that she knew Wang Yan too late, because if that were the case, perhaps she wouldn't have to have such an unbearable past.
Just like this, Wang Yan followed Fan Lili and wandered outside for a day, and finally found a shop in the prosperous Ginza...
At the same time, Tie Tou's side also handled things very smoothly, and finished all the procedures. It was also at this time that the Tongzhou Society truly achieved a leap. Because under the name of the Tongzhou Society, there were nearly a hundred shops of all sizes, and even some shops were not rented, but were real estate belonging to the Sanhe Society. Plus the wealth accumulation of Muranishi Kōichi and others, it was richer than sudden wealth. So to catch the thief, you must first catch the king; they were the ones who spoke.
Of course, Wang Yan basically had no control over those businesses, because a large part was under the control of the Sanhe Society's manpower. There was also a small part that was snatched by other gangs and controlled their operation. This part of the control was originally intended to be decided by the main people of each family after the matter was completely settled, but it wouldn't work now.
In the evening, Wang Yan went around again before coming out, and arrived at a dilapidated factory far away. This factory was not his, and he didn't know whose it was. Anyway, originally there were only some homeless people who turned in to shelter from the wind and rain. After they drove the people away, they temporarily controlled it, just to facilitate doing dirty work.
Watagawa and others had been transferred here. They were very uneasy, because they didn't know what Wang Yan was going to do. They couldn't control their own destiny, and life and death were in the hands of others, so they naturally couldn't be at ease.
Seeing Wang Yan come over, Muranishi Kōichi hurriedly asked, "President Wang, we already handled the procedures in the morning, but you still haven't let us go. I don't know if you have anything else? Please forgive me, President Wang, I thought that at this time, you should let us leave. Only in this way can we go back and let those subordinates vacate those businesses for your people to take over. Only in this way can you have no loss.
And I have to remind you, President Wang, our Sanhe Society is a good friend of Tokyo's Councilor Ōtawara, and we also have some dealings with the Mitsui Group. Please believe me, President Wang, this is definitely not a threat, because our life and death are now in your control, and I will definitely not do such a brainless thing. This is just a kind reminder. Although our industries don't count for much in their eyes, there are always some things they need us to do.
This is also why I said you crossed the line before, President Wang. You are really dangerous now. Today we collectively transferred so many businesses to the Tongzhou Society, which cannot be justified. Even if you kill us, they will settle accounts with you in the end. Perhaps you don't know what they mean, but please believe me, President Wang."
Could Wang Yan be scared by them? It was like a joke.
He shook his head and smiled, patted his shoulder, turned to look at Tie Tou. "Where is Eguchi Toshinari?"
"It should be almost here."
Wang Yan nodded, ignored Muranishi Kōichi and others who were confused, lit a cigarette, and went to the side to smoke.
After a while, Eguchi Toshinari took a few subordinates and arrived at the place in a van with the people Wang Yan sent to protect him.
Eguchi Toshinari got out of the car outside, let out a long breath, and walked into the factory building.
At first glance, he saw Muranishi Kōichi, the Watagawa father and son, and Nakajima Hiroshi standing together, but except for Nakajima Hiroshi's hand wrapped in gauze, they were all fine, which made him very incomprehensible. Because he wanted these people to die, not to look at him with hostile eyes.
The four were naturally hostile, but Nakajima Hiroshi had been nailed with iron rods before, so they didn't dare to speak or move at will, otherwise they would have come over to kill Eguchi Toshinari now.
Letting out a long breath, Eguchi Toshinari walked to Wang Yan's side and frowned. "Why haven't you killed them yet? I thought you were here to let me see the corpses."
Wang Yan shook his head. "The enemies and traitors are all here. I think it's better for you to take action yourself, at least you can make your thoughts clear and your mood comfortable. After suppressing for so long, you still need to vent. Eguchi, do it."
At this time, Muranishi Kōichi and others had also been controlled. They began to struggle and began to shout loudly, scolding Wang Yan for not keeping his promise, having no integrity, and not letting him go even if he became a ghost.
To this, Wang Yan was very innocent, like a villain opening his mouth: "I just said we wouldn't take action. You bought me not to kill you, but you didn't buy Eguchi not to kill you. Don't worry, your family is very safe, as long as they don't cause trouble in the future, we won't deal with them."
After speaking, he signaled to Eguchi Toshinari. The latter took a deep breath, took the short knife from the Tongzhou Society little brother on the side, walked over very straightforwardly, and stabbed them one by one, stabbing very happily.
Just as Wang Yan said, he had been suppressing for so long, and he really needed such a vent. It was these people who brought him such big trouble and made him so embarrassed that a thousand cuts would not be too much. He was even so excited that he didn't pay attention to what Muranishi Kōichi and the others said about taking money and not doing things.
After a full few minutes, Eguchi Toshinari, covered in blood, stopped his movements, threw the knife away, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and took a long puff.
And then there was no then.
Just when Eguchi Toshinari was smoking, a short knife crossed his neck. He couldn't believe it, covered his bleeding neck, and turned around.
Tonight was a clear and good weather, with a crescent moon hanging in the clear sky. Under the moonlight, Eguchi Toshinari couldn't see what expression Wang Yan, who was standing at the entrance of the factory, had. All he could see was that tall figure, and in the darkness, eyes darker than the darkness...
He felt the strength of his body disappearing. He finally covered his neck and fell down, paralyzed on the ground. He just stared at the row of figures at the entrance of the factory, twitched for a while, and then died... ===== CHAPTER 547 =====
