Chapter 903: Before the snow stops

Neither Matsumoto Ryojin nor Takahashi Zhenzhi could figure out what had happened in Kyoto.

However, Matsumoto Ryojin was far more shrewd than Takahashi Zhenzhi.

When he couldn't reach the Iga Jonin no matter what, although he couldn't figure out why, he subconsciously realized that the matter was likely to have a big loophole.

Thinking of this, he immediately called other people of the Iga family. Once the call was connected, he immediately asked about the situation of the Iga Jonin.

But the people of the Iga family knew nothing about what happened in Kyoto either.

They couldn't reach the Iga Jonin either, and didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Now, Matsumoto Ryojin was really panicked.

He paced back and forth in the living room of his home nervously, his brows were always tightly locked, and even the hand holding the cigar was trembling uncontrollably.

His younger brother, Matsumoto Ryosuke, saw him extremely nervous and hurriedly comforted him: "Brother, don't panic first. If you panic, we really won't know how to deal with it next!"

Unlike Takahashi Zhenzhi, Takahashi Zhenzhi's target was Ito Nanako, which had nothing to do with the Su family, so it didn't matter even if his motive was exposed.

The strength of the two families was basically fifty-fifty, so he wasn't afraid of Ito Yuhiko.

However, Matsumoto Ryojin knew very clearly in his heart that if his motive was exposed, he would not only have to face the behemoth that was the Su family, but also the Ito family and the Takahashi family.

So, he took a puff of his cigar and said to Matsumoto Ryosuke: "The hand I played almost bet all our chips. If I win, the Matsumoto family can become the top in Japan; if I lose, the Matsumoto family will be trampled to death by these three great families: the Su family, the Ito family, and the Takahashi family!"

Saying this, he couldn't hide his nervousness and said: "Now, the Iga Jonin can't be reached, and Su Zhifei and Su Zhiyu's life or death is unknown. I still don't know whether our motive has been exposed. If it hasn't been exposed, that's fine, at most the plan to frame Ito Yuhiko will be ruined. But if it has been exposed, then we basically have no way to live."

Matsumoto Ryosuke asked hurriedly: "Brother! We don't know whether it has been exposed or not now. Are we just waiting here for the verdict? That would be too passive, right? Even if we are bound to die, we must find a way to struggle and resist, and never give up just like that!"

Matsumoto Ryojin pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Of course we have to resist! Since the first hand of cards is unknown, let's bet on the second hand!"

Matsumoto Ryosuke asked: "Brother, how to bet on the second hand?"

Matsumoto Ryojin said viciously: "I bet that our motive against the Su family hasn't been exposed yet! In this way, we will go all out and finish off Takahashi Zhenzhi and Ito Yuhiko first! Finish them both off, and we will have a chance to become number one in Japan!"

"Ah? Finish them both off?" Matsumoto Ryosuke asked in surprise: "Shouldn't we be finding a way to deal with the Su family?"

Matsumoto Ryojin shook his head: "Dealing with the Su family is wishful thinking. With their strength, as long as they aim their target at us, we have no power to resist."

Saying this, Matsumoto Ryojin added: "However, Takahashi Zhenzhi must be at his weakest right now. He lost several ninjas and his son. Now is a good time to kill him! Let the Iga family send a few more ninjas to take his life! Anyway, the Iga ninjas are already on the same boat as us!"

Matsumoto Ryosuke asked again: "What about Ito Yuhiko? How to kill him? He doesn't seem to have lost any strength!"

Matsumoto Ryojin gritted his teeth: "Then we can only take him by strategy! Kidnap a few family members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and then force these police officers to go to his door and say let Ito Yuhiko go back to the Metropolitan Police Department to assist in the investigation of the disappearance of the Su family brother and sister. As long as he leaves home, we will have a chance to take action!"

Matsumoto Ryosuke continued to ask: "Brother, what if the Su family knows about us?"

Matsumoto Ryojin said with a vicious expression: "If they really know, it's death either way. Then why not drag Takahashi Zhenzhi and Ito Yuhiko down to be cushions?"

"Good!" Matsumoto Ryosuke said with a ferocious expression: "Even if we die, there will be people dying together with us! Anyway, we don't lose whether we win or lose!"

At this very moment.

After Ye Chen set fire to the two-story building, he returned to the Ito family's residence.

He still entered Ito Nanako's courtyard from the original path.

At this time, Ito Nanako was sitting in front of the tea table, her eyes slightly closed, her hands gently twisting a string of Bodhi prayer beads, and she was silently reciting Buddhist scriptures, praying for Ye Chen.

Buddhism is not only prevalent in China, but has also been prevalent in Japan for a long time. Since Master Jianzhen traveled east to Japan, Buddhism in Japan has developed rapidly.

Although there are many differences between the Buddhism of the two countries, there is almost no essential difference between the believers of the two countries in terms of chanting and praying.

After reciting for a long time, the incense in the incense burner had burned out. She felt the fragrance dissipate and opened her eyes, wanting to light another plate, but found that Ye Chen was already sitting opposite her.

Ito Nanako was startled and exclaimed, covering her mouth: "Ye Chen-kun, you... when did you come back?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Just now, five seconds ago."

"Ah?" Ito Nanako said unbelievably: "Why didn't I notice any movement at all?"

Ye Chen laughed: "Because I saw you seemed to be chanting Buddhist scriptures, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Ito Nanako's pretty face flushed, and she said softly: "Nanako was just praying for Ye Chen-kun, hoping that the gods would bless Ye Chen-kun to return safely..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Thank you!"

Ito Nanako smiled unnaturally and said: "Ye Chen-kun, you saved my life, why bother thanking me for such a small matter..."

Ye Chen said seriously: "I saved you out of my intention, and you prayed for me also out of your intention. Everyone's starting point is the same, so naturally, it doesn't matter if it's big or small."

Ito Nanako couldn't help but exclaim: "Ye Chen-kun, you are truly the most gentlemanly person I have ever met in my life, thinking of others everywhere..."

Ye Chen laughed: "I'm not a gentleman, stop flattering me."

After speaking, Ye Chen hurriedly said: "By the way, give me your hand, I'll check your injuries."

Ito Nanako asked shyly: "Ye Chen-kun, are you going to take my pulse?"

"Right." Ye Chen nodded and said: "Didn't you want to walk in the snow? I'll help you heal your injuries quickly, and then we'll go for a walk in the snow in the courtyard. If you're not satisfied, I'll take you for a walk outside!"

"Ah?!" Ito Nanako asked in a daze: "Ye Chen-kun, you mean you can heal my injuries very quickly? Before the snow melts?"

Ye Chen said seriously: "No need to wait for the snow to melt. If you cooperate with me well, we can walk in the snow together before the snow stops." ===== CHAPTER 904 =====
