Chapter 916: Dealing with a Tiger

The news that Matsumoto Ryoto's entire family had been wiped out completely shocked Ito Yuhiko.

He was dumbfounded, blurted out, "To wipe out all 30-plus people of the Matsumoto family—this is too arrogant, isn't it?! Who exactly is so bold?"

Ito Emi shook her head and said, "I don't know the specific situation; the police are also investigating this matter."

Ye Chen said coldly at this time, "Is there still a need to investigate? It must be the Su family. I just saved the Su family siblings in the first half of the night, and the Su family wiped out the mastermind Matsumoto Ryoto's family in the second half of the night."

Ito Yuhiko's expression was somewhat horrified, muttering, "The Su family's style of doing things is too ruthless, isn't it? Matsumoto Ryoto only made a move on their family's servants and two juniors. Even if they were taking revenge, wouldn't it be enough to just kill Matsumoto Ryoto alone? At most, kill their family's bodyguards. Why implicate so many people in his family?"

Ye Chen said with a dark face, "This should be the consistent style of the Su family."

As he spoke, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of his parents again.

With the Su family's ruthless style and sinister means, his parents' death was likely directly caused by them!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt even more annoyed!

He was truly blind to have saved the Su family's eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter and let them go!

If he hadn't intervened, the pair of siblings would likely have turned into cold corpses by now!

In that case, the Su family's talent reserve for the younger generation would definitely have suffered heavy losses.

More importantly, this could have greatly dampened the Su family's arrogance!

This was not Ye Chen being narrow-minded, but the hatred of parents being irreconcilable!

Ito Yuhiko, who was on the side, saw Ye Chen's expression was very ugly and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ye, are you okay?"

Ye Chen gave a dry laugh and shook his head, "Nothing, just a bit surprised."

What could he say?

His parents' death and his own background could definitely not be told to Ito Yuhiko.

Ito Yuhiko nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed, "I really didn't expect that in just a few days, things would turn into this situation..."

As he spoke, he said with a serious face, "Now it seems that this matter has inadvertently made the Ito family the biggest beneficiary."

Ito Emi, who was on the side, agreed, "It is indeed like this. Originally, we were in fierce competition with the Takahashi family, but I didn't expect Takahashi Machi and his son Takahashi Eikichi to both die. Next, the Takahashi family will definitely be severely injured."

"Also, Matsumoto Ryoto was originally chasing desperately from behind. Now the entire Matsumoto family has been wiped out, and the Matsumoto family's business share has all been released. The Takahashi family doesn't have the ability to compete with us now, and the families below them don't even need to be mentioned. If we take this opportunity to seize the resources released by the Takahashi family and the Matsumoto family, we can soon become the true number one family in Japan!"

Ito Yuhiko nodded, but no trace of happiness could be seen in his expression, and he sighed, "I wanted to compete with Takahashi Machi openly like a samurai, but I didn't expect that it would turn into a fisherman gaining the benefit after the snipe and clam fight. Truly an unearned victory..."

At this moment, Ye Chen actually looked at Ito Yuhiko with new eyes. Most people at this time would likely be excited and carried away.

But what he didn't expect was that Ito Yuhiko actually had this level of awareness.

At this time, Ito Emi advised, "Big Brother, there is no need to dwell on whether the victory is earned or not. After all, the things these two families encountered were not caused by us behind the scenes. Even if we picked up a bargain, we can pick it up with a clear conscience. Therefore, the top priority is to quickly start cleaning up the battlefield and take this opportunity to let the Ito family stand at the pinnacle of invincibility!"

Ito Yuhiko didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Ye Chen, cupped his fists again, and said sincerely, "Mr. Ye, all of this is thanks to you! If it weren't for you, the Ito family's outcome might not have been much better than Takahashi Machi's. If it weren't for you, the Ito family and the Takahashi family would likely have been plotted against by Matsumoto Ryoto until their families were destroyed. You are the benefactor of the Ito family!"

Seeing this, Ito Emi immediately stood up, knelt on one knee without hesitation, cupped her fists, and said with extreme sincerity, "Mr. Ye, Big Brother has difficulty moving his legs, so allow me to represent the Ito family to bow and thank you!"

Ito Nanako also hurriedly stood up, immediately knelt down with her aunt, and said gratefully, "Ye Chen-kun, please also accept a bow from Nanako!"

Ye Chen sighed slightly and said earnestly, "The two of you, please get up quickly. You really don't need to do this. Although I helped the Ito family by coincidence, being able to escape this disaster, in the final analysis, is still the Ito family's own fortune."

Ito Emi and Nanako then stood up.

Ito Emi said to Ito Yuhiko again, "Big Brother, Mr. Ye is right. Besides Mr. Ye's help, we have to say that our Ito family's fortune is indeed rare! Not only can we take the opportunity to absorb the shares released by the Takahashi family and the Matsumoto family, but we can also take advantage of the Takahashi family's severe injury to push for cooperation with the Su family. I think the Su family only has our Ito family as a choice now!"

"No!" Ito Yuhiko said without hesitation, "From now on, we will not conduct any form of cooperation with foreign families!"

Ito Emi couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, why is this?! Haven't you always been looking forward to this cooperation?"

Ito Yuhiko said very seriously, "That's because I didn't have enough understanding of the Su family! But now, through the Matsumoto family's matter, I have seen through the Su family's style of doing things. The Su family's style is too heavy with murderous intent, and they have no bottom line, not even sparing underage children. Cooperating with such a family is dealing with a tiger!"

Ito Emi's expression tightened, and she realized, "Big Brother's words make sense... The Su family's actions are indeed too cruel..."

As she spoke, Ito Emi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Big Brother, I heard that another family in China, second only to the Su family, also seems to want to get involved in the ocean shipping field. They have been in a competitive relationship with the Su family for many years, similar to our situation with the Takahashi family over these years. If the conditions are right, we could actually cooperate with the Ye family."

Ito Yuhiko shook his head and said, "Forget it. The Su family and the Ye family are both extremely strong. China's economic development has been advancing by leaps and bounds over these years, and the strength of these two big families far exceeds that of other families in all of Asia. Whether it is the Su family or the Ye family, we are far from being their opponents. Cooperating with the Su family is dealing with a tiger, and cooperating with the Ye family is completely offending the tiger that is the Su family. In my opinion, we had better not put ourselves in such a dangerous situation!"

Speaking of this, Ito Yuhiko pondered for a moment and said earnestly, "How about this: from today on, the Ito family will terminate all cooperation with foreign families and will not accept any cooperation invitations from foreign families. We will work hard in the local Japanese market during this period, bide our time, dig deep, and store grain! When our strength is on par with the Ye and Su families, or not far behind, then we will consider cooperating with them!" ===== CHAPTER 917 =====
