Chapter 878

~7 min read 1,300 words

Tenglin Zhengzhe's last hope was to pray that the reason Tenglin Qingtian hadn't replied to the message was because he was busy following Ye Chen, or perhaps locked in a fierce battle with Ye Chen.

In short, as long as he was still alive, it would be fine.

Number two picked up his phone and immediately called Tenglin Qingtian.

As a result, a series of prompts popped up in the phone, informing him that the other party's phone might be temporarily unreachable due to a lack of signal.

Cold sweat broke out on number two's face instantly.

He hurriedly said to Tenglin Zhengzhe: "Senior Brother, Qingtian's phone is unreachable..."

"How can that be..." Tenglin Zhengzhe stood up instantly and blurted out: "Qingtian's phone is always on standby 24/7. How could it suddenly be unreachable..."

Number three said with a panicked expression: "Big Brother, could Qingtian have already met with an accident?"

Number two said firmly from the side: "Something must have gone very wrong! Otherwise, Qingtian would never be so abnormal!"

After saying this, he looked at Tenglin Zhengzhe: "Senior Brother, we have to go find him!"

"Find him?" Tenglin Zhengzhe's expression was extremely ugly, and he said: "We don't even know where to look. If Qingtian has really met with an accident, even if we find him, he might have already become a corpse. If we go looking rashly, we might even expose ourselves..."

"Then what should we do?!" Number three pressed: "Senior Brother, we can't just sit here and wait for death, can we?"

Tenglin Zhengzhe gritted his teeth and said: "Of course we can't sit and wait for death! How about this: you two go downstairs to keep watch, and I will go into that Chinese man's room to install a bug. If they return, tell me immediately."

Number two asked eagerly: "Senior Brother, what's the point of installing a bug now? What we need to find now is Qingtian's whereabouts!"

Tenglin Zhengzhe said coldly: "If Qingtian has really met with an accident, then his whereabouts are probably only known to that Chinese man. Only by monitoring him closely can we possibly know Qingtian's whereabouts!"

Saying this, Tenglin Zhengzhe sighed slightly and added: "Number two, number three, you two must prepare yourselves mentally for the possibility that Qingtian is no longer in this world..."

The expressions of the two suddenly became indescribably painful.

They were all martial brothers. Although they weren't blood brothers, they were all people of the Tenglin family, distant relatives, and they had grown up together and studied ninjutsu together since childhood, feeling like brothers. Suddenly being asked to prepare for such a thing, the two of them were naturally filled with grief.

However, Tenglin Zhengzhe's words were indeed correct.

Nagoya is not very large, but it is definitely not a small city either. With the ability of the three of them, it was impossible to find a missing person in this city.

The only clue was that Chinese man. Therefore, all clues and the truth would only surface after he returned.

Thus, the three of them immediately divided the work. Two of them kept watch in the entrance lobby downstairs of the hotel, while Tenglin Zhengzhe quietly sneaked into Ye Chen's room and installed multiple bugs in hidden locations in the room.

Ten minutes later, Chen Zekai and one of his men, along with Hong Wu, drove a refrigerated truck to the park where he was located.

After the truck stopped outside the park, Chen Zekai and Hong Wu ran over. Seeing a black and purple corpse standing in front of Ye Chen, and that this corpse actually had its mouth wide open, swallowing its own toe, they were instantly stunned!

Hong Wu couldn't help but ask: "Master Ye, this... who is this person?!"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "A Japanese ninja, from the Takahashi family."

"The Takahashi family?!" Both of them were shocked.

Chen Zekai blurted out: "Young Master! Is the Takahashi family trying to do something against you?!"

Ye Chen nodded: "They wanted to follow me first, then find a suitable opportunity to kill me."

Chen Zekai gritted his teeth and cursed: "A mere Takahashi family, their strength is at best about the same as the Gu family in Yanjing, yet they have such guts!"

Ye Chen smiled: "At least they are still very strong in their own territory in Tokyo."

Saying this, Ye Chen asked him: "Did you find the refrigerated truck?"

"Found it!" Chen Zekai said: "We bought a refrigerated box truck used for transporting seafood from the seafood market at a high price. We didn't even have time to unload the goods in the truck before rushing over."

Ye Chen asked: "So, the cargo hold is still refrigerated, right?"

Chen Zekai nodded: "It's minus twenty degrees in the cargo hold. The fish inside are frozen rock-hard; they could kill someone if thrown."

Ye Chen said with satisfaction: "Fine, you and Hong Wu lift this guy up and move him into the cargo hold to freeze first."

Chen Zekai asked hurriedly: "Young Master, what about the Takahashi family? Are we not going to hold them accountable?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "The Takahashi family sent a total of four ninjas. One is dead, and there are three left. Once these four martial brothers are all gathered in the refrigerated truck, I'll send them to Takahashi Machi all at once. Consider it a big gift from me to him!"

The refrigerated container truck had a quick-freeze function. With the power at full blast, it could freeze Tenglin Qingtian's corpse into an ice block in just over ten minutes.

Before the few of them moved Tenglin Qingtian into the refrigerated container, Ye Chen took the leather holster containing the shuriken off his body, planning to use it for something else.

Subsequently, Ye Chen instructed the man who drove the truck for Chen Zekai: "You take the truck to a hidden place and park it properly first. Remember not to cut off the fuel or power to the refrigerated truck; ensure the container is always cooling. I want to send Takahashi Machi four ice sculptures. Don't let them turn into four piles of rotten meat by the time he receives them. If he gives me a bad review then, it wouldn't be good. After all, he is an overseas client and an international friend; we should take care of him a bit more."

The man nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange this truck properly!"

Chen Zekai asked at this time: "Young Master, our next stop is Osaka. Will this truck follow us then? Will it alert the other party?"

Ye Chen said: "In principle, wherever we go, this truck goes. However, there's no need to follow us closely. If we set off tomorrow, let this truck depart two hours before us."

Chen Zekai nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Ye Chen waved his hand: "You three go back. I'll clean up the scene and walk back myself."

Chen Zekai asked hurriedly: "Is there anything I can help with? Why don't I stay behind!"

"No need." Ye Chen said indifferently: "I'll go back myself after I'm done. This can also avoid that group of people noticing anything."

Seeing this, Chen Zekai nodded and said: "Young Master, since that's the case, then Hong Wu and I will go back first."

After Chen Zekai and Hong Wu left, Ye Chen cleaned up some traces in the park.

He found all six of Tenglin Qingtian's shuriken. He didn't discard these six shuriken but put them all back into the leather holster and kept them on his person.

Subsequently, the bloodstains on the ground were also cleaned up by him, leaving no traces behind.

After doing all this, he walked back to the hotel alone, leisurely and carefree.
