Chapter 543: Anti-Corruption Storm (Part 3)

D. O. A. has indeed taken action again, but this time they have learned to be much smarter.

They knew to send people into Hong Kong via a circuitous route.

Although the Information Department tracked their movements, they did not know exactly what they intended to do.

After hearing Silva's report, Chen Jiajun said coldly, "I understand. Once I finish up things here in Japan, I will rush back to Hong Kong. Keep a close watch on these bastards for me!"

Chen Jiajun was running out of patience with D. O. A.'s repeated provocations.

Having already witnessed the tenacity of the Ether Society, Chen Jiajun knew how troublesome such organizations that loved to stir up trouble could be.

Now that another one had appeared, how could he be happy?

Therefore, Chen Jiajun intended to nip this organization in the bud before they could cause any trouble.

After finishing his call with Silva, Chen Jiajun turned his gaze to the Information Officer under his command: "How are things going with Kusakari Yuichi?"

"He should be unable to hold back and ready to strike!" the Information Officer said with a smile. "This old devil has such extensive connections; I never expected him to be able to link up so many gangs."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Think about it. On this turf, everyone used to get along just fine, but then someone like Kusakari Lang appeared, someone who doesn't follow the rules. What do you think would happen?"

"Of course, they would team up to deal with him!" The Information Officer quickly understood. "Boss, I see why you didn't let Shanjie and the others fight back!"

"It's a catalyst, after all. Losing a bit of territory and income is nothing," Chen Jiajun said with a smile. "Now, we just wait for that old devil Kusakari Yuichi to put on a show!"

……

Kusakari Lang had someone go to talk to Otomo Wu again, but Otomo Wu continued to play dumb.

He even flew into a rage at the casino, causing the casino to lose quite a few customers.

With things coming to this, Kusakari Lang could no longer hold back.

Furuta Koji returned with a bruised and swollen face to report the news, saying with tears in his eyes, "That bastard Otomo is simply too arrogant!"

Kusakari Lang left with a grim expression; although Furuta Koji was just a dog,

one must still consider the master when beating a dog.

Besides, weren't you, Otomo Wu, known as a loyal dog?

Thinking of this, Kusakari Lang said coldly to Furuta Koji, "In a few days, there will be a meeting within the group. Prepare some gunmen by then!"

Furuta Koji shuddered instantly: "You intend to execute Otomo Wu at the general meeting?"

Kusakari Lang said coldly, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"

Furuta Koji gasped, not expecting Kusakari Lang to be so decisive.

However, touching the injury on his face, a vicious look appeared in Furuta Koji's eyes: "I understand, Group Leader! I guarantee it will be foolproof!"

Much like the debt collection of Hong Kong gangs, every Yamaguchi-gumi sub-group is required to pay a certain fund to the group leader at regular intervals; this is also the most simple and direct method of control.

Doing this also increases sunk costs, preventing the Yamaguchi-gumi from falling apart.

The location for this meeting was chosen within the Kusakari family's Zhuangyuan.

Before the appointed time, the entrance to the Kusakari family Zhuangyuan was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

Such a grand scene even attracted the Tokyo Police, who were afraid they might stir up some trouble.

As no more vehicles entered the Zhuangyuan, the main gate was locked shut.

The Police could not get in and could only wait outside, ready to call for reinforcements at any time.

Meanwhile, inside the Zhuangyuan, members of every Yamaguchi-gumi sub-group had already arrived.

Naturally, this included Otomo Wu.

This guy did not notice that the atmosphere around him was somewhat heavy; he stood with a group of Yamaguchi-gumi hardliners, puffing on a cigarette with an arrogant air.

As for the other fence-sitters, they had long since sided with Kusakari Lang for the sake of benefits.

A moment later, Kusakari Lang changed his clothes, walked out, and sat down at the long table.

This signaled that the meeting had officially begun.

The first order of business was for each family to pay their fund contributions to Kusakari Lang.

This fee was fixed; no one was allowed to skip it.

However, when it was Otomo Wu's turn, the old man with the stiff face pulled a strange smile and did not move.

Seeing this, the previously noisy meeting room fell silent instantly.

Watching the standoff between Otomo Wu and Kusakari Lang, no one dared to even breathe loudly.

"Otomo, what is the meaning of this?" Kusakari Lang had already wanted to slaughter this disobedient dog, Otomo Wu, but he did not expect this guy to embarrass him at a general meeting: "Are you trying to face Excommunication?"

Otomo Wu said indifferently, "Of course I have no such intention, but I do not intend to pay this money to you! Because you are not worthy!"

Kusakari Lang's expression turned ferocious: "Don't think that just because you rely on your past merits, I wouldn't dare to kill you! You are courting death!"

As he spoke, Kusakari Lang slapped the table, and a dozen gunmen in black rushed in, aiming their guns at Otomo Wu and his Young Head, Mizuno.

Mizuno had not expected Otomo Wu to choose to stand up to Kusakari Lang during the general meeting, and cold sweat was already pouring down his back.

But Otomo Wu remained calm and unhurried, not even fading the mocking smile on his face.

He said to Kusakari Lang, "Kid, do you dare to tell us how your foster father went missing?"

Hearing Otomo Wu's words, Kusakari Lang's expression changed drastically.

He roared at Otomo Wu, putting on a brave front: "How would I know about such things!"

"If you don't know, then let me say it for you!" Otomo Wu continued: "You bastard, you used the people around your foster father to poison him into paralysis, then seized the opportunity to take control of the Kusakari-gumi. Then, you used your foster father's love for you to successfully seize power within the Yamaguchi-gumi!"

"Everything you possess now was supported by your foster father. But what was your reaction when you heard your foster father had gone missing?"

Hearing Otomo Wu's words, the members of the Yamaguchi-gumi all wore thoughtful expressions.

Otomo Wu was absolutely right; given Kusakari Lang's ability, it was impossible for him to control the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Why was this guy suddenly pushed into this position?

One factor was his cooperation with Liangchuan Shiro of the Liangchuan Group, but the greater reason was the support from Kusakari Yuichi.

So, according to what Otomo Wu said, it was indeed very possible!

Thinking of this, the gazes many people directed at Kusakari Lang became somewhat strange.

Seeing the gazes of those around him, Kusakari Lang immediately felt a bit uneasy.

He gritted his teeth and roared at Otomo Wu: "Nonsense, kill him for me!"

As he spoke, his subordinate Furuta Koji prepared to command the gunmen to take action.

But just at this moment, a calm voice came over: "Kid, your heart is still not ruthless enough! You should have killed Otomo the moment he started talking nonsense, instead of waiting until he finished before making a move!"

Hearing this voice, an expression of disbelief appeared on everyone's face.

They then looked toward the direction of the voice and discovered that it was indeed Kusakari Yuichi who had walked in.

At this moment, Kusakari Yuichi did not look at all like the sickly man paralyzed in a wheelchair. Instead, he walked with the stride of a dragon and the step of a tiger, his face full of dominance.

Following Kusakari Yuichi's entrance, the people present immediately stood up to greet him.

After all, Kusakari Yuichi had been in the Yamaguchi-gumi for so many years and had long since possessed unparalleled influence.

As for that fellow Kusakari Lang, he nearly popped his eyeballs out. Pointing at Kusakari Yuichi, he trembled incessantly and said: "Fake, it's fake, take him out for me! Hurry!"

Furuta Koji was stunned at first, then a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He was already tied to Kusakari Lang; if Kusakari Yuichi regained power, could he still continue as Young Head?

For the sake of his own future, Furuta Koji also turned ruthless and prepared to directly signal the gunmen to act.

Unfortunately, Kusakari Yuichi did not even glance at this fellow, his eyes fixed firmly on Kusakari Lang.

Watching these hesitant gunmen, Otomo Wu sneered and whistled.

Then, a group of masked guys dressed as ninjas, holding firearms and short knives, suddenly appeared and launched a massacre against Kusakari Lang's gunmen.

That's right, it was a massacre!

These gunmen didn't even have time to react before they had their throats slit by these ninja-dressed guys or had their heads blown off by silenced handguns.

The air was instantly filled with the scent of blood.

Seeing this scene, all the big bosses present were shocked.

None of them had expected that Kusakari Yuichi still had such a force in his hands. And it was a presence they were completely unaware of.

Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered one by one, Kusakari Lang could no longer hold it together and hurriedly knelt to beg for mercy: "Father, I was possessed by a ghost, please spare my life!"

Kusakari Yuichi's eyes were somewhat complex as he walked toward Kusakari Lang step by step.

But just at this moment, the prostrate Kusakari Lang suddenly sprang up, the short blade in his hand stabbing directly toward Kusakari Yuichi's chest.

Clearly, the begging for mercy and panic from just now were all a disguise; that fellow Kusakari Lang still harbored wolfish ambitions and wanted to kill Kusakari Yuichi.

Unfortunately, having long since seen through the actions of this fellow Kusakari Lang, how could he be careless? Kusakari Yuichi would never allow himself to make the same mistake twice.

Seeing Kusakari Lang lunge over, he tilted his body slightly to dodge the attack, then grabbed Kusakari Lang's arm and slammed him fiercely into the ground with a shoulder throw.

This blow left Kusakari Lang so disoriented that he couldn't even stand up.

Otomo Wu immediately stepped in to pin Kusakari Lang to the ground, giving him no chance to struggle.

With a face devoid of joy or sorrow, Kusakari Yuichi looked at Kusakari Lang and said: "Kid, your killing intent is too obvious. If you want to kill someone, you must restrain your murderous heart; only then can you kill with a single strike!"

From beginning to end, Kusakari Yuichi never blamed Kusakari Lang, only continuously teaching him.

However, this was also his final lesson.

Kusakari Lang roared wildly: "I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

Kusakari Yuichi shook his head, then gave a look to Otomo Wu.

Otomo Wu nodded, drew a sharp Long Knife from a ninja's hand, and with a single stroke, directly decapitated Kusakari Lang! Right in front of everyone in the Yamaguchi-gumi, he executed his adopted son.

This served as a stern warning to everyone.

Those fence-sitters who had previously stood with Kusakari Lang for the sake of profit immediately knelt down one after another to beg for mercy.

They claimed that they had been coerced by Kusakari Lang.

But as for what the truth was, Kusakari Yuichi was perfectly clear.

However, he did not intend to carry out a Great Purge internally for now, so he smiled and helped these people up, saying: "I know, I know! This rebellious son did many wrong things, and I do not intend to pursue it further!"

Hearing Kusakari Yuichi's gentle words, the previous fence-sitters all let out long sighs of relief.

As for the previous hardliners, they looked at these fence-sitters with disdain, their faces full of contempt.

Having settled the internal matters, Kusakari Yuichi said: "Clean this place up, I have to meet other guests in a while!"

Hearing Kusakari Yuichi's words, everyone was stunned for a moment.

They then remembered that Kusakari Lang had offended quite a few people recently, leaving behind a mess.

The subordinates quickly cleaned up the conference room, and at this time, the bosses of various gangs had sent people to the Kusakari family's Zhuangyuan.

Regarding Kusakari Yuichi's return to power, the various gangs expressed great goodwill.

Kusakari Yuichi was also very sensible, stating that the previous matters were all misunderstandings and that he would certainly give everyone a satisfactory answer after regaining power.

Hearing this, the members of the Yamaguchi-gumi felt a lingering fear.

They had not expected that this bastard Kusakari Lang had caused so many problems.

It seemed that if it weren't for Kusakari Yuichi regaining power, they would likely have been attacked by these gangs in unison.

Therefore, there was absolutely no objection to Kusakari Yuichi's return to power.

After resolving these matters, the Yamaguchi-gumi returned to its previous state.

As for Kira, this woman saw that things were going poorly and immediately cut ties with Kusakari Lang.

And she took her own forces and left Japan.

After all, the main power of the Liangchuan Group was still overseas; although their most powerful territory in San Francisco was gone, she still headed to Seattle to lie low.

"I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on regaining power, Mr. Kusakari!" Chen Jiajun arrived at the Kusakari Zhuangyuan and said to Kusakari Yuichi with a smile.

Kusakari Yuichi said with a smile: "Without Mr. Chen's help, I'm afraid I would have been dead long ago!"

Kusakari Yuichi was very clear-headed and expressed his gratitude to Chen Jiajun at the first opportunity.

Chen Jiajun was very satisfied with the attitude of Kusakari Yuichi: "Since Mr. Kusakari's affairs are finished, I must return as well!"

"In such a hurry? I still wanted to host Mr. Chen for a while longer!" Kusakari Yuichi said with some surprise.

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "There are rats at home, I must rush back to catch them! As for the hosting, there is no need; regarding other matters, I think Shanjie will liaise with you."

"Shanjie is a very good young man!" Kusakari Yuichi nodded: "Mr. Chen, I have the intention to marry my daughter Nanako to him; I wonder what you think?"

Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment, then said to Kusakari Yuichi with a strange expression: "For this matter, you must ask the person involved! Although I am his boss, I cannot make the decision on such matters!"

Kusakari Yuichi said with a smile: "That is true, I was a bit too impatient; let the two young people get to know each other first!"

……

Hong Kong, Peninsula Hotel.

A seductive woman wearing a red dress took the elevator directly to the penthouse suite.

Someone had already been waiting for her here.

After the woman sat down, she took out a cigarette.

The man opposite immediately and diligently picked up a lighter to light it for the woman.

After exhaling a puff of smoke, the woman finally spoke: "Boss Xu, for the 500 million you laundered for Director Zhao, what is the commission?"

The man biting on a pipe smiled mysteriously: "Trade secret!"

The woman laughed: "Twenty percent, that's a bit expensive!"

Boss Xu shook his head and said: "In the United States, they charge twenty-five percent! The benefit of finding me is that I guarantee you get it done! Dirty money, no matter where it was earned, after we wash it, it will be squeaky clean no matter how it's investigated! If you are worried, you can try it out first?"

The woman immediately fell silent, nodded, picked up her handbag, and said: "I will contact you again!"

"Walk slowly, I won't see you out!" Boss Xu said with a smile as he sent the woman out.

At this moment, one of Boss Xu's subordinates looked at the woman's back with greed in his eyes and whispered to Boss Xu: "Boss, this chick is really hot!"

Boss Xu's expression changed instantly, and he slapped the underling across the face: "Idiot, keep your eyes in check, or I'll help you dig them out! Is this kind of woman someone you can think about?"

The underling took a slap and said with some dissatisfaction: "An outsider woman, what's the big deal!"

"Hmph, this kind of woman is clearly the mistress of a Big Boss; if you touch her, who knows what kind of people you'll bring down on us? If you want to seek death, don't drag me down with you!" Boss Xu said viciously.

This Boss Xu's name is Xu Youcai.

He is a Hall Master of the Hong Kong triad, Fuxing Society.

Although the triad's business has been hard to do in recent years, he has been thriving, relying on the finance company in his hands and some money laundering schemes.

Xu Youcai had been doing money laundering for many years.

That is why he is able to develop to this scale now.

In Hong Kong, it can be said to be a monopoly; as for some small finance companies, they can do it too, but they don't have the scale of Xu Youcai.

It's just that Xu Youcai did not expect that the woman he had just hosted would bring him great trouble.

……

On the other side, Chen Jiajun returned to Hong Kong.

Silva came to find him: "Boss, I found something!"

"Speak!" Chen Jiajun rubbed his head; although there is no time difference between Japan and Hong Kong, the fatigue of the journey is unavoidable.

Silva nodded and said: "D. O. A has already discovered that we are investigating them! Their hideouts have all been evacuated in an emergency; when we arrived, we found that their original hideouts were already empty!"

"A step too slow?" Chen Jiajun frowned and said: "Where was their last hiding place?"

"Siam." Silva said calmly: "We checked countries in Southeast Asia, and only then did we lock onto their location."

"It seems this group is very alert!" Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said: "Are you confident in tracking them?"

Silva shook his head and said: "It's difficult, and the other party is already on guard! I think it might be easier to start with the guys they sent to Hong Kong to cause trouble."

Chen Jiajun nodded and said: "You handle it! Remember to notify me when you find them!"

Silva nodded, then sent Chen Jiajun to his car. (End of chapter)
