Chapter 1041: Ruthless!

On the winding mountain road in Nishitama District, in the western suburbs of Tokyo.

Several men in black were looking down from the spot where Song Wanting had driven off the cliff. Seeing a large fire raging below in the distance, one of them whispered, "With this, the people in the car should be dead, right?"

Another sneered, "Falling from such a height, plus a fire breaking out—if they aren't dead, I'll chop my head off and give it to you."

The man laughed, "In that case, we can report back to Mr. Hashimoto."

The person beside him nodded and said, "Hurry up and clean up the scene. All the collision debris, glass shards, and tire marks on the ground must be completely cleared. Ensure that no one can tell an accident happened here after dawn."

"Got it!"

Several men in black immediately began to clean up the scene.

The leader took out his phone and made a call to Hashimoto Kin-saki, reporting, "Mr. Hashimoto, the matter is basically settled. We will withdraw once we finish cleaning up the scene."

Hashimoto Kin-saki asked, "Are they dead? Have you confirmed the bodies?"

The man laughed, "There's no way to confirm the bodies. This cliff is hundreds of meters high. Even if the Sun Goddess herself fell from here, she'd be finished."

Hashimoto Kin-saki clicked his tongue, "Without seeing the bodies with my own eyes, I still feel a bit uneasy."

The man said, "Mr. Hashimoto, the people rolled down to the bottom of the cliff with the car. And from what I saw from above, the car is already on fire. With this kind of blaze, even the Sun Goddess would be reduced to ashes inside. You can put your mind completely at ease."

Hashimoto Kin-saki couldn't help but complain, "Why do you keep making jokes about the Sun Goddess? Do you have no sense of reverence in your heart at all?"

The man curled his lips and laughed into the phone, "Reverence, my ass. I've committed so many sins in my life; if the Sun Goddess really existed, she would have killed me long ago. The fact that I'm alive and can keep committing sins proves there are no gods in this world at all!"

Hashimoto Kin-saki said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I won't argue with you. As long as you're sure they're dead, that's enough. I trust you one hundred percent."

The man gave a grunt and said, "Alright, have the final payment sent to my residence when the time comes. Remember, I want old, non-sequential banknotes."

Hashimoto Kin-saki hurriedly said, "No problem, I'll have it sent to you first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Alright, I'm hanging up then!"

……

Meanwhile, in the valley.

Song Wanting was still struggling to move forward.

She didn't know where she was or how to get out of the mountains, but her thought was very simple: she had to get further away before attempting to climb up the valley. Otherwise, if she climbed up and ran into the other party, she would truly be unable to escape her fate.

What felt very miraculous to her was that over the past ten minutes or so, her physical condition had actually been getting better and better.

Not only was there no pain from any injuries, but her body didn't feel at all like it had just suffered a major trauma.

Moreover, she could now feel a very powerful energy within her body, constantly flowing through her limbs, making her physical state better and better, to the point where she felt filled with inexhaustible strength.

She thought to herself, "This strength must come from the divine medicine Master Ye gave me... Master Ye gave me that medicine back then, telling me to keep it with me at all times for emergencies. I never expected this medicine to truly save my life at such a critical moment!"

Thinking of Ye Chen, Song Wanting felt an unprecedented sense of encouragement in her spirit.

She kept cheering herself on in her heart, "Since Master Ye gave me a chance to live, I must return to Jin Ling alive!"

……

Jin Ling.

The ancient capital of six dynasties.

Although it wasn't as bustling as Yan Jing or Zhong Hai, nor as wealthy as the new first-tier cities in the south, it possessed its own charm and heritage.

The people living here loved this land and the spring waters of the river deeply.

Just as Song Wanting vowed to return to Jin Ling alive, a private jet at Jin Ling Airport had slowly taxied to the end of the runway.

This was the Song family's private jet, capable of holding over twenty people, and it featured a separate, independent bedroom.

At this moment, Song Rongyu was lying on the bed in the independent bedroom, holding a glass of red wine, a smile on his lips.

Hashimoto Kin-saki had just called him to say, "Mr. Song, the business car your younger sister was riding in fell from a cliff hundreds of meters high in Nishitama District to the bottom of the valley. The vehicle immediately caught fire. Your sister has been reduced to ashes, ten thousand percent!"

Song Rongyu laughed viciously, "Good! Excellent! I've waited a long time for this day. Being able to get what I wanted today is all thanks to Mr. Hashimoto's help."

Hashimoto Kin-saki laughed, "Mr. Song, from now on, our two sides working together to make more money is what's most important!"

Song Rongyu said with a smile, "Please rest assured about that, Mr. Hashimoto. We will definitely work together in the future, and I won't be short a single cent of the money you're owed."

Hashimoto Kin-saki said, "Then when Mr. Song arrives in Japan, we shall drink and celebrate properly!"

Song Rongyu sighed and said, "Oh! This trip to Japan is mainly to put on a show for the old man. Although that old thing is old, his mind is very clear. If I show even the slightest sign of anything being wrong, he will definitely notice. So, for this trip to Japan, it's better if we don't meet to avoid suspicion."

Hashimoto Kin-saki asked, "Mr. Song, then when shall we sign the contract?"

Song Rongyu said, "Let's choose another time to sign the contract with you, Mr. Hashimoto, after I bring my sister's body or ashes back to Jin Ling and finish her funeral!"

Hashimoto Kin-saki laughed lewdly, "Haha, that's no problem. Mr. Song has lost a close relative and must be in great pain. Let's wait a while longer to drink and celebrate!"

Song Rongyu also laughed and said, "Yes, my capable and clever sister died so miserably; I am indeed in great pain in my heart, hahahaha!"

Having said that, he sighed with some regret, "If that old thing hadn't passed the position of family head to my sister and let her assist me peacefully by my side, I wouldn't have wanted her life today."

Speaking of this, a vicious glint flashed in Song Rongyu's eyes, and he said coldly, "If you want to blame someone, blame that old thing for putting her in my path! Anyone who blocks my path must die!"

Hashimoto Kin-saki asked, "Mr. Song, what if that old guy wants to take back the position of family head? Or what if he doesn't agree to the cooperation terms we've set when we sign the contract?"

Song Rongyu gave a vicious smile and said indifferently, "Don't worry, Mr. Hashimoto. Everything you're worried about won't happen. I'll find an opportunity to let him reunite with his beloved granddaughter. No one can stop me from becoming the head of the Song family!" ===== CHAPTER 1042 =====
