Chapter 3332: Are You Tired of Living?

Hearing that Ye Chen was willing to help, Ito Nanako finally relaxed.

She immediately said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, don't worry, I'll have Hattori Hanzou go to the dome to see you right away."

After saying that, she asked Ye Chen again: "Ye Chen, should I let Xinmei know in advance so the Mitsui family can prepare, and also have them fully cooperate with you?"

"Okay." Ye Chen said: "Tell Mitsui Xinmei clearly, let her father come backstage to see me. I'm going backstage now to find Tawana. If this news leaks out and her people find out, she could be in danger at any moment."

Afterwards, Ye Chen instructed her: "Nanako, remind the Mitsui family not to call the police for now. I've experienced the Tokyo Metropolitan Police's efficiency, and their officers vary in quality—they might even hinder us."

"I understand, Ye Chen." Nanako said immediately: "I'll contact Xinmei right now!"

Ye Chen hung up the phone and immediately hurried backstage.

The dome is a circular performance venue, with the stage located at the northernmost part of the venue, while Ye Chen's VIP box area is at the southernmost part, quite a distance away. To prevent accidents, Ye Chen ran all the way, and at the same time called Xiao Churan.

The call connected, and Ye Chen said in a very calm tone: "Wife, after you and Dong Ruolin finish chatting with Miss Sasaki, just return to the hotel first. I still need to discuss the dome's feng shui with Mr. Mitsui, and I estimate I'll return later."

Xiao Churan said: "It's fine, husband. Dong Ruolin and I have nothing else to do; we'll just wait for you here."

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "The key is, Mr. Mitsui also wants me to go to his house to check the feng shui. He's a friend of Miss Fei, and it's hard to refuse his kindness. Later, you two should return to the hotel first—Miss Fei can send you there, and I'll come back to the hotel to find you after I'm done."

Xiao Churan originally didn't want Ye Chen to be preoccupied with work wherever he went, but since he mentioned Fei Keyin, it seemed like checking Mitsui Yoshitaka's feng shui was also giving Fei Keyin face, so she couldn't persuade him further and said: "Then you must not be too late."

"Don't worry." Ye Chen responded, then hung up the phone.

He wasn't at all worried about Xiao Churan's safety—with Tawana's billion-dollar dark flower on her head, no one would harm her here. If assassins arrived, the best solution would be to let Xiao Churan leave first to avoid being frightened.

At this moment, Tawana still didn't know she was already in grave danger.

She was in the makeup room removing her makeup and preparing to change out of her performance outfit when the door was suddenly kicked open, startling both her and Chifuyu.

She instinctively wanted to flare up at this unreasonable behavior, but when she saw clearly that it was Ye Chen who had kicked the door in, she was utterly astonished and asked: "Ye... Mr. Ye, what is this..."

Ye Chen walked toward her, picking up eyeliner pencils, eyebrow pencils, and makeup brushes one by one from the vanity, and said: "Someone in the U. S. has placed a billion-dollar dark flower on your life. From now on, until you leave Japan and enter Huaxia, your life will be under tremendous threat. So from now on, if you and Chifuyu want to survive, you must obey me completely—do whatever I tell you, go wherever I say, with no objections or doubts. Do you understand?"

Tawana's face turned deathly pale as she blurted: "Ten... ten billion U. S. dollars... just to kill me?!"

"Exactly!" Ye Chen nodded, asking her: "Are you shocked by your own worth? I've lived this long, and this is the first time I've heard of someone spending a billion U. S. dollars to buy a girl's life. After you retire from the entertainment industry, you can tell this story and see if you can apply for a Guinness World Record."

Tawana forced a smile: "They're spending a billion U. S. dollars to buy my life not because my life is valuable, but because they fear I'm alive, fear I'll reveal some secrets..."

Chifuyu beside her quickly said: "Honey, since they want your life so badly, why don't you just post everything you know online? That way, they won't need to kill you to silence you."

Tawana looked at Chifuyu with a complex expression and said: "If I say certain things, my own future will be ruined. Moreover, even if I speak up, they still won't let me go. After all, even if I could speak, I couldn't produce solid evidence, so it wouldn't affect them much. But once higher-ups investigate these matters, I would become one of the key witnesses identifying them. So they definitely won't let me live."

Chifuyu urgently asked: "Tawana, you... what exactly is your secret with them, to the point that they're willing to spend anything to kill you?!"

Tawana said with a tangled expression: "Chifuyu, believe me, I... I haven't done anything outrageous. They just tried hard to win me over, and to fit into their circle, I interacted with them a lot and saw too much of what they did. After I got together with you, I had no further contact with them..."

Chifuyu covered his face and let out a long sigh, unsure whether it was regret or sorrow.

At this moment, Mitsui Yoshitaka arrived with his daughter Mitsui Xinmei in a hurry. Seeing the door ajar, he felt uneasy, fearing someone had already come ahead to harm Tawana, so he stopped Mitsui Xinmei from moving forward.

Just as he was considering whether to send someone in first to check the situation, Ye Chen opened the door from inside and said: "Mr. Mitsui, please notify your family to have all bodyguards guard every entrance and exit of the dome—anyone may only leave, not enter!"

Mitsui Yoshitaka nodded and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, don't worry—I've already notified the Mitsui family's security personnel to set up a heavenly net and earthly trap at the manor. Shortly, a helicopter will come to take Miss Svet to the manor for strict protection!"

Ye Chen said coldly: "Under these circumstances, even the helicopter may not be safe. Once aboard, if anything changes, survival would be difficult. It's better to have the outside security guard the exits and let us find a regular way out."

Mitsui Yoshitaka said: "Mr. Ye, there's no need to be so tense. We have many people here, plus the influence of the Mitsui family—few in all of Japan would dare to oppose us."

As he spoke, a man resembling him quickly ran over and said: "Big brother, it's bad! Our informants in the Yamaguchi-gumi, Inagawa-kai, and Sumiyoshi-kai report that their leaders have issued orders to core members and top assassins under them: no matter the cost, they must find Miss Svet and kill her!"

"What?!" Mitsui Yoshitaka felt his face burn as he blurted: "These lowly gangster organizations dare to challenge my Mitsui family?!"

After saying that, he immediately said coldly: "Call Yoshihiro Nishida! I want to ask him—has he and his Yamaguchi-gumi grown tired of living?"
