Chapter 1036: So-called loyalty is nothing more than this!!

~15 min read 2,938 words

On the sea, a cruise ship is slowly sailing towards the north.

Deep blue-purple dyes everything on the sea surface, just like an invisible god, gently outlining the colors of dawn on the night sky.

Inside the ICU cabin of the cruise ship's medical center, the doctor who was temporarily brought along is leaning against the chair on the cabin wall, his head slightly rising and falling, dozing off with the slight rocking.

On the nursing bed beside him, the patient wrapped in bandages has short and heavy breathing, the curve on the heart monitor rises and falls steadily, emitting a rhythmic beeping sound...

In the next instant, Xiong Yuan's eyelids tremble a few times, and his eyes slowly open!

The pain in his shoulder and abdomen comes faintly, the effect of the anesthetic is fading, and the experienced Xiong Yuan doesn't make any big movements, just observes left and right with his eyes:

"Am I... in the hospital?"

"Ah, that's right... I was shot... and also slashed a few times..." Xiong Yuan shows a weak smile on his pale face. "Looks like... I survived!"

"However... this swaying feeling... is it a concussion?!"

Feeling something uncomfortable clamped on his finger, Xiong Yuan subconsciously pushes the clip away with his hand, causing the blood oxygen saturation monitor to malfunction, emitting a beeping alert sound.

The doctor who was dozing off against the cabin wall wakes up immediately. As a professional doctor, he has already formed a conditioned reflex to this kind of sound.

He stands up immediately and wants to check the patient's status, but happens to meet Xiong Yuan's astonished eyes...

"Ah... you're awake..." The doctor subconsciously takes a small flashlight out of his pocket and shines it towards Xiong Yuan's eyes. "The surgery was very successful..."

Then he continues to ask quickly,

"Do you feel any discomfort? Do you know your name? Where are you?"

Dazzled by the doctor's flashlight and somewhat angry at being asked a series of questions, Xiong Yuan raises his hand and pushes away the hand the doctor placed in front of his eyes:

"I feel very weak... and a bit dizzy, I feel like my body is swaying..."

"Dizziness is normal!"

The doctor explains,

"You lost quite a bit of blood, and as for the swaying, it's because we are on a cruise ship."

"On a cruise ship?"

"Hmm~ I'll call someone else to explain it to you!"

After the doctor makes a preliminary check and declares that the patient is fine, he puts the blood oxygen monitor back on him and then hurriedly walks out of the ICU cabin, using the medical center's phone to call the captain's cabin.

Before long, Feng Yongshan and other subordinates walk over quickly.

Feng Yongshan naturally hasn't slept. His father hasn't woken up, and they haven't reached a safe place yet, so how could he possibly sleep?!

"My father is awake?" Feng Yongshan asks the doctor outside the cabin. "How is his body?"

"Nothing major, just the signs after an injury... There is no danger to his life after waking up from surgery."

The doctor explains slightly and then warns,

"However, he needs to recuperate. If you go to see him now, it's best not to exceed half an hour."

"Hai! Thank you for your trouble, Doctor! Arigato!"

Feng Yongshan has been tempered in the Tokyo business world for several years and is already a mature adult. He first expresses his gratitude to the doctor,

"Once we get off the cruise ship, the five million yen reward for the doctor will definitely be presented immediately!"

"Eh~ Saving lives and healing the wounded is a doctor's duty, this is all what I should do!"

The doctor waves his hand modestly, but the smile on his face is much brighter...

Even for a high-paid doctor, just for one night of nursing, without even having to perform surgery, getting half a year's salary is very sweet!

"Go in and see your father quickly! Also, he just said he was a bit hungry, he can eat some liquid food..."

"Hai!"

Feng Yongshan suppresses his excitement and pushes open the cabin door, then meets Xiong Yuan's gaze.

"Father, you're awake..."

"Feng? Why is it you?"

Xiong Yuan sees that it is his son, and sees that the others beside him are all subordinates from Shizuoka, and immediately thinks of a lot.

"After Father was injured in Kobe, the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters failed to provide adequate care, and retaliation from the Ichiwa-kai was imminent, so the people brought along notified the family."

Feng Yongshan sits on the stool beside the hospital bed and explains the current situation to his father,

"Grandfather couldn't come over, so naturally I came to take Father to a safe place..."

Xiong Yuan, lying on the hospital bed, listens silently. Under the accounts of Feng Yongshan, Shogo Hanada, and others, he roughly sorts out the situation after he passed out.

Although assassinating Hiroshi Yamamoto of the Ichiwa-kai was dangerous, he didn't expect the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters to really have the posture of sitting on the sidelines.

Even listening to his son's words, he knows that the time he was unconscious must have been very dangerous...

Clearly, he assassinated Hiroshi Yamamoto for the sake of the Yamaguchi-gumi! Clearly, he had reached a consensus with those direct-line leaders before! Clearly, it was all agreed that they would support his promotion!

Is the so-called loyalty of the yakuza really just something said with the mouth?!

Really, not worth it!

No wonder his father, Hayato Nagayama, kept saying he wanted Feng to walk the right path... and kept fully supporting the whitewashing of the Nagayama-gumi...

After being silent for a while, Xiong Yuan continues to ask:

"The doctor earlier said we are on a cruise ship?"

"Hai, Father is seriously injured, both planes and the Shinkansen are too bumpy, and there is the pursuit and blockade of the Ichiwa-kai, making it inconvenient to transfer." Feng Yongshan shows a smile. "This cruise ship was arranged by Naoki, specifically to come to Kobe to pick up Father."

"Is that so..."

Xiong Yuan becomes even more grateful to his nephew, not only bringing Feng onto the right path but also saving himself this time...

But as a man, just keep the kindness in your heart.

"Feng, where are we going now?"

"The plan is to go to Tokyo... Father's injuries need to be treated at a good hospital." Feng Yongshan replies, "The voyage is almost halfway through... The cruise ship is only picking up our group, so the speed is very fast..."

"No..." Xiong Yuan refuses. "Let's go back to Shizuoka. Tokyo might not be safe either... Shizuoka is all our people... I know my body, there's nothing major!"

As a yakuza boss, after being injured, Xiong Yuan is like an animal, subconsciously wanting to return to his old lair.

After all, in Shimizu City, Shizuoka, the Nagayama family has been operating for nearly fifty years, deeply rooted, and is definitely a local power player.

Feng Yongshan's mouth opens slightly. He just wanted to say that Tokyo's medical conditions are better and he could get better treatment, and the confidentiality work of a private hospital must be very good.

However, seeing the worry in his father's eyes, he gives up on persuading him.

Plus, the doctor just said there is no danger to his life after waking up, and the important thing is to recuperate... It would be more appropriate to recuperate in the ancestral home.

"Hai, I'll go notify the captain to change the route now..."

Hearing his father talk for quite a long time, Feng Yongshan sees that his father's expression is already a bit tired, so he doesn't argue any further, and then turns to Shogo Hanada and says,

"Uncle Hanada, go to the kitchen and have the chef make some liquid food and bring it over. After he finishes eating, let Father rest more..."

"Hai~"

At Shanying Yuan, Eitaro doesn't know how he provoked Miaotaro again, and is being chased and scratched by the cat. It's another lively morning.

Naoki Nagayama receives a call from his cousin after finishing breakfast.

"Not coming to Tokyo?"

"Hai, returning directly to Shizuoka." Feng Yongshan says on the phone, "Father has already woken up, his injuries haven't worsened, and there is no danger to his life. After that, it's just recuperation. We got off at the port in Shizuoka and then took him directly back to the old house."

"Is that so... as long as there is no danger!"

Although Naoki Nagayama still thinks it would be better to be hospitalized for observation, Uncle Xiong Yuan is a yakuza person and has been injured many times, so he should know the severity.

"The cruise ship you arranged, Naoki, I had the captain sail back to Tokyo Bay. It didn't delay your business here, did it?"

"Ah, the cruise ship is fine, the filming is already finished." Naoki Nagayama says, "The company will handle the rest."

"Good~"

"By the way, how is Grandfather now?!"

The voice on the phone pauses:

"As for Grandfather, he hasn't slept well for the past two days, but there's nothing major. He is currently lecturing his subordinates..."

"That's good, let Grandfather rest well..." Naoki Nagayama glances at Akina, who is teasing Eitaro. "I'll go back to visit in two days..."

"Hmm..."

Feng Yongshan, who hung up the phone, sighs.

In fact, Grandfather hasn't slept for the past two days, constantly making calls to various connections, and having to force himself to soothe the hearts of the Nagayama-gumi... He only closed his eyes after Xiong Yuan returned this morning.

Actually, ever since "The Legend of Hayato" was released, Grandfather has seemed like he has completed some great cause, and his whole spirit has relaxed.

Over the past six months, the speed of his aging has become faster and faster, and he already has a feeling of being light and airy, but his spirit is very good, and he is happy all day like an ordinary old man in the countryside.

His body is not considered good, but if it goes on like this, he might be able to slowly retire until he passes away.

And this time, because of Xiong Yuan's matter, he forced himself to pull himself together, once again showing the prestige of a yakuza boss, stabilizing the hearts of the people and saving his son...

Forcing himself to pull himself together like this is like a charcoal stove reigniting a bright fire; it is actually overdrawing his vitality~

On Naoki Nagayama's side, after hanging up the phone, Akina walks over:

"Naoki-san, how is it? Was Uncle picked up?"

"Yes, transferred back to Shizuoka." Naoki Nagayama says, "He said there is no danger to his life, and the follow-up is just to recuperate well..."

"That's good~"

Although Akina is not very familiar with this uncle who is in the yakuza, when they got married, that uncle mobilized many subordinates to help maintain order, which was a good intention. Akina is still very grateful for this.

"Akina..." Naoki Nagayama turns to look at his wife. "I plan to go back to Shizuoka to visit in the next two days... You are in the late stages of pregnancy, so you don't need to go..."

"These two days, huh~"

Akina agrees with Naoki Nagayama going back, but these two days she thought about the assassination and such that was mentioned before, looks up at her husband, somewhat worried,

"Will there be... danger?"

"Ha, it's fine..." Naoki Nagayama flicks Akina's nose bridge. "Shizuoka is Grandfather and Uncle's territory..."

"Besides, I'm just going to visit, I'm not the main target..."

"...... Alright~"

The ancestral home in Shimizu City, Shizuoka, has high walls and deep courtyards, and almost everyone around is from the Nagayama-gumi, with sufficient manpower and excellent defense.

It's useless if the enemy has few people, and they will be discovered early if they have many...

Yakuza groups in this era are not armies, and they don't have siege equipment or anything like that, so it's impossible to have such things as attacking the opponent's headquarters.

Even the previous assassination was done while the boss was out of the headquarters to meet a lover or something!

After soothing his wife, Naoki Nagayama comes to the study to continue completing his novel.

The screenplay for "Jurassic Park" has been completed, but the novel still seems very difficult. It's been almost a week and it's only about 50,000 words so far, which is a huge gap compared to writing 20,000 words a day in the past...

However, quite a few reference books have appeared on the bookshelf, including a children's version of "The Complete Book of Dinosaurs" and an academic version of "Chronicles of Geological Ages"... In short, they can all be used for reference.

There are even quite a few dinosaur toys on the desk... This is called retaining a childlike heart~

"Allosaurus... Tyrannosaurus Rex... The name Tyrannosaurus Rex is really good, it's really domineering!"

After tidying up a bit, Naoki Nagayama puts the screenplay of "Jurassic Park" into his briefcase, preparing to go to the Shuyu building.

He prepares to communicate with Otomo Yoshimura, and then let the film department do an assessment to see how much the initial estimated cost would be if such a movie were to be made.

Of course, to build such a set, he, Naoki Nagayama, can naturally provide a perfect island...

It is still raining outside, so when Naoki Nagayama arrives at the Shuyu building, Otomo Yoshimura is in his office.

"Naoki-san?"

Looking at Naoki Nagayama walking into the office, Otomo Yoshimura is somewhat surprised,

"Did something happen to the cruise ship? Did you pick up the person?"

He naturally knows about the cruise ship; after all, Naoki Nagayama also got the contact information from Otomo Yoshimura when he wanted to communicate with the captain.

"Picked up, picked up, the person has already been sent back to Shizuoka!"

"Didn't come to Tokyo?"

"Hmm hmm~"

Naoki Nagayama explains again, letting Otomo Yoshimura also understand the situation with Xiong Yuan, which finally puts his mind at ease.

"As long as it's fine..." Otomo Yoshimura nods. "However, I also heard the news from Kobe. The leader of the Ichiwa-kai is gone. Both the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Ichiwa-kai are national organizations. The yakuza will be even more chaotic during this period!"

"We also have to be careful and not get involved in this kind of dispute..."

Speaking of which, when Shuyu was just developing, it did borrow some of the Yamaguchi-gumi's influence, and lending the cruise ship privately this time can be considered repaying the favor.

The current Shuyu Group, on the contrary, is gradually distancing itself from the yakuza on the surface. After all, the Shuyu Group is a legitimate enterprise and will not be unclear with the yakuza.

"Hmm, I know..."

Naoki Nagayama is born with yakuza components; this is bloodline and there is no way around it.

However, Shuyu's business has basically nothing to do with the yakuza!

After finishing talking about his uncle's matter, Otomo Yoshimura asks:

"Then Naoki-san came over in the rain today, is there any serious business?"

"Haha~ indeed there is!" Naoki Nagayama takes out the screenplay. "I had nothing to do at home these past few days, so I wrote a screenplay for fun..."

"Wrote a screenplay?!"

Otomo Yoshimura's eyes light up as he takes it. He is somewhat stunned when he sees "Jurassic Park" on the cover. After opening it and taking a brief look at the overview, he immediately becomes excited,

"A sci-fi movie?! Naoki-san, is this the movie you are going to film next?!"

"More or less..." Naoki Nagayama is vague. "However, I think the cost of this movie will be very high... and some special effects technology levels might not reach the effect I want..."

"It doesn't matter, we can go to the United States to buy the latest computers and find the most excellent special effects artists!"

Otomo Yoshimura waves his hand. Anyway, Shuyu is very rich now and can be said to be the cash king of the Japanese film industry!

"And the set!" Naoki Nagayama takes out another sketch, which is a rough diagram of the park in "Jurassic Park." "For this set, I plan to build a real 'Jurassic Park'!"

"This... it's estimated to be over one billion!"

Otomo Yoshimura takes a casual look at the research institute, dinosaur park, underwater park, etc., on the sketch, and knows it will definitely be very expensive.

Naoki Nagayama sees Otomo Yoshimura's surprised gaze and nods. Such a big move is not just something said casually!

"Yes, it's a big move! After filming, it can also be used as a theme park..."

Otomo Yoshimura suddenly thinks of something:

"Didn't Naoki-san just buy an island recently? Could it be that you planned to build 'Jurassic Park' at that time..."

"No no, the order is reversed..." Naoki Nagayama wags his finger. "It was after I bought the island that I had this idea and screenplay..."

"....."

Naoki Nagayama ignores Otomo Yoshimura's disbelieving gaze and says directly,

"Otomo-san, I want the people in the film department to do an assessment according to this screenplay and sketch to see how much budget is initially needed to film 'Jurassic Park'..."

"This budget shouldn't be small..."

"Haha, let's do it first..."

Naoki Nagayama says with a smile,

"At worst, when we want to film, we'll find a few suckers to hit up for some money!"

"......"

Otomo Yoshimura looks at Naoki Nagayama, only feeling that his brain is so big, so suitable for... ===== CHAPTER 1037 =====
