Chapter 1647: Lowering One's Stance

"I beg you, let's meet. I'll kneel before you, okay?" Yamamoto Masao was truly desperate now; the development of the situation had far exceeded his imagination. If this matter were not brought under control, the consequences would be grave.

So now, he had no choice but to lower his noble head and humble his stance, begging only for Chen Yu to forgive him.

Because if this matter were not brought under control, he would be held accountable.

Moreover, too many people had died this time. If he were held accountable, it wouldn't be as simple as a mere suspension; it was highly likely he would be secretly executed.

Furthermore, the truth of the matter had just spread across the internet, and this was something he could not deny no matter what.

So this guy had turned cowardly now; he was afraid of death.

"Hmm, you seem quite anxious now." Chen Yu smiled faintly. This guy's attitude made Chen Yu feel slightly more balanced inside.

"More and more people are dying, so I can no longer withstand the pressure."

Yamamoto Masao was finally willing to tell the truth: "So Chen Yu... let's meet and talk. You can propose any conditions you want."

"Is that so? Mr. Yamamoto, this doesn't seem like your style." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "You weren't like this when we met before."

"Times change." Yamamoto Masao sighed and said, "I need your help now, so I bow my head. But Chen Yu, you Huaxia people have an old saying: 'The tides of fortune turn.' Who knows, one day you might be the one begging me."

"If that day really comes, I'll be waiting." Chen Yu smiled calmly: "Name a place. To keep fewer people here from dying, I'll make an exception and intervene once."

"I'll send you the location. See you at seven tonight." Yamamoto Masao hung up the phone and then sent an address.

"Are you really going to the appointment?" Just then, a fragrant breeze flashed, and a graceful figure appeared; it was Xin'er.

"Why did you come out?" Seeing Xin'er, Chen Yu couldn't help but be slightly startled: "It's quite dangerous outside right now. Aren't you afraid to come out?"

"I'm fine. Don't you understand us Huaxia people? Although we squabble with each other in daily life, once we encounter a crisis, we become surprisingly united. So as long as I don't leave Chinatown, I am safe." Xin'er smiled sweetly.

"You should be careful too. It's best not to go out," Chen Yu said.

"I'm fine, I'll take care of myself," Xin'er said: "Are you really going to meet Yamamoto Masao?"

"I'll go see him. After all, people dying like this isn't right. If these things spread outside of Fusang, that would be troublesome." Chen Yu smiled: "We are the closest to their national borders, so I'll try to resolve what I can."

"Alright, your intentions are good, but I've lived here for so many years, and I know them very well." Xin'er hesitated for a moment and said.

"Hmm, do you think they will still play dirty tricks?" Chen Yu looked up at Xin'er.

"Nine times out of ten, there will be some underhanded tricks waiting for you." Xin'er said: "And as for this person Yamamoto Masao, I've seen news about him before. Although I'm not very familiar with him, I know this person is extremely utilitarian."

"So even if he has reached the End of the Road this time, as long as he catches an opportunity, he will still find a way to get what he wants."

"I see. I know, these people are like dogs that can't change their habits. But don't worry, if he dares to mess around again, I won't be polite this time." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Then, can you take me with you?" Xin'er bit her lip and finally stated her purpose.

"You have to know, this is a very dangerous matter." Chen Yu stared at Xin'er and said: "And even if you want to go out, you need a reason, right?"

"I don't have a reason, I just want to go out. Chen Yu, please help me." Xin'er looked at Chen Yu, a look of pleading appearing on her face.

"The more you say that, the more suspicious I become." Chen Yu stared at Xin'er and said: "I don't know what you are trying to do, but if you don't give me a legitimate reason, I won't take you out."

The expression on Xin'er's face looked somewhat disappointed. She lowered her head, and after a long while, she sighed and said: "Alright then, if you really don't want to take me out, then forget it. I won't force you."

"If you have something on your mind, you can actually tell me directly. There is no need to hide it. I promise you, no matter what happens, I will help you," Chen Yu said.

"Then what if I show you a side that is different from what you imagine?" Xin'er suddenly looked up.

Her originally weak expression vanished, replaced by a hint of eeriness. She murmured: "What if I am not as weak and fragile as I appear on the surface? What if I have another face?"

"That would still be you." Chen Yu said with a chuckle: "No matter how many changing personalities you have, in my eyes, you are just you."

"Perhaps. Your personality is multifaceted, but your true nature is what it is; that is something no one can change."

"But I am truly different from what you imagine." Xin'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and the expression she revealed was extremely painful.

Chen Yu looked at Xin'er, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. When the matter of the ghouls first emerged, Honghou felt that Xin'er had issues, but Chen Yu had never believed it.

But looking at the current situation, she really did have issues, only judging by her performance, it seemed there were some things she could not control.

"Alright, you don't need to worry." Chen Yu sighed slightly and said: "Go back and rest easy. I will resolve your issues once the situation here stabilizes."

"Do you know my secret?" Xin'er looked up, somewhat surprised.

"I don't, but I can roughly guess it." Chen Yu smiled slightly. He patted Xin'er on the shoulder and said: "Alright, go back and wait for my news in peace. Once I resolve the matter here, I will solve your problem, I promise."

Xin'er stared fixedly at Chen Yu; she saw composure and confidence in Chen Yu's eyes.

Finally, she nodded heavily and said: "Okay, I believe in you. I'll wait for you to come back."

"Go." Chen Yu grinned, then turned his head and said: "Zhao Ping."

"Mr. Chen, I'm here." A figure flashed, and Zhao Ping walked out from a corner. He scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.

He had been listening from behind the whole time; he hadn't expected Chen Yu to notice.

"Take Xin'er back," Chen Yu said: "Ensure her safety."

"Alright, I will." Zhao Ping hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Chen, are you going to meet Yamamoto Masao now?"

"Yes, I intend to go see him." Chen Yu smiled slightly.
