On the other side.
“Vice President Yamamoto, our plan has been ruined.”
At the Yamaguchi- gumi’s Edo branch, a subordinate reported the situation to the vice president, Yamamoto Takeshi.
“A bunch of trash. You can’t even do such a small thing well. Are you all eating sh*t?” Yamamoto Takeshi was like an enraged lion.
He was already in his fifties this year, but at this age, he could already be considered the backbone of the Yamaguchi- gumi.
The Yamaguchi-gumi had faced a very important problem in recent years, which was that there was a lack of successors in the gang. There was a serious gap in the younger generation, and there were not many who could become successful.
This made the upper echelons of the Yamaguchi-gumi very worried.
Once the entire organization started aging, they would definitely be at a disadvantage in the competition with other clubs.
Therefore, they decided on a strategy, which was to actively nurture the younger generation while eliminating other gang forces.
Gangs like the Inagawa-kai and Sumiyoshi-kai, which were on par with them, would definitely not be able to take them down for the time being.
However, he did not have so many concerns about other gangs, especially foreign forces like the Fortune Dragon Society. They were one of the targets that they had to eliminate.
Therefore, they had been looking for opportunities to provoke the Fortune Dragon Society in the past two years, hoping that the other party would take the initiative to attack so that they could take the opportunity to annex them.
However, the president of the Fortune Dragon Society, Lu Daoquan, was an old fox. No matter how they provoked him, he would not do anything.
Although he was called a ‘coward’ by the outside world, he still didn’t come out.
They had been planning this opportunity for a long time.
He wanted to make use of Lu Daoquan’s useless son to sell a fake Zhan Lu Sword to him at a high price.
As long as Lu Daoquan could not see through this fake, he would definitely show it off.
At that time, they would step out and expose this counterfeit.
Lu Daoquan would definitely lose face and would definitely seek revenge. This was exactly what the Yamaguchi-gumi wanted, and they could take advantage of the opportunity to annex the power of the Fortune Dragon Society.
However, this seemingly flawless plan actually had an accident.
Lu Daoquan had actually seen through the counterfeit at the first moment and saw through the Yamaguchi-gumi’s layout. From then on, he restrained his subordinates even more and never started a war lightly.
After setting up a trap for such a long time, it was easy to imagine Yamamoto Takeshi’s anger at this moment.
The subordinate hurriedly wiped his sweat. “President Yamamoto, it’s not that we’re useless, but the enemy is too cunning. Our fake sword is so realistic. In addition, not many people have seen the real Zhan Lu Sword. Reasonably speaking, they will definitely be fooled…
Yamamoto Takeshi glared at him angrily. “What do you mean by ‘reasonable’?
The truth is, they immediately saw through your scheme. How do you explain
The subordinate gritted his teeth. “I heard that Lu Daoquan and his son had been tricked, but a young man saw that the sword was fake, which allowed them to escape.”
Yamamoto Takeshi calmed down a little. “Young man? What young man? Are they from the Fortune Dragon Society?”
The subordinate shook his head. “No, he’s from China. I think his name is… Ye Feng.”
Yamamoto Takeshi’s eyes were filled with killing intent. “Go and investigate this kid’s background. I won’t let him off easily for ruining our Yamaguchi- gumi’s plan!”
“Yes, sir!”
From the next day onwards, Ye Feng asked his nominal assistant Cheng Fei’er to spread the news, saying that he was looking for business partners in Japan, and at the same time, he secretly gathered some information about Japan.
He came to Japan this time to do business, so he was not afraid of being
investigated.
After handing over these trivial matters to his ‘assistant’, he once again became a hands-off manager.
He was really bored in the room, so he sent a message to Xu Man and asked her what she was doing now.
Xu Man quickly sent over two photos of the café with the caption, [Meeting a client.]
Ye Feng opened it and was about to close it when he suddenly noticed that a man’s arm was exposed in one of the photos.
He immediately asked, “Is the client male or female?”
Xu Man did not reply this time. No one knew what she was doing.
He waited for a while, but still did not receive a reply. He immediately sent the photo to Su Qiyun, “Help me check which café this is?”
Su Qiyun was very efficient. He replied very quickly, [Hengshan Hill Xiaoye
Café.]
When Ye Feng received the message, he immediately put on his clothes and went out.
When he took a taxi to the Xiaoye Café, he saw Xu Man and a man sitting by the window discussing something from afar.
Ye Feng immediately walked in.
The waiter immediately came forward. “Hello, sir…”
Ye Feng took out a few banknotes and stuffed them into his hands. “Give me a cup of coffee, no sugar.”
Then, he turned around and walked toward Xu Man.
Xu Man was engrossed in her conversation with the man opposite her when someone suddenly sat down beside her and put an arm around her shoulder.
She was shocked at first and immediately wanted to get up.
But when she saw Ye Feng, she was surprised and delighted. “Xiao Feng, how did you find this place?”
Ye Feng glared at her angrily. “I sent you a message, why didn’t you reply?”
Xu Man hurriedly picked up her phone and looked at it. Then, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry. My phone ran out of battery. I didn’t even notice.”
Only then did Ye Feng’s expression ease up. “I thought you were chatting too happily with someone else and did not bother with me.”
Xu Man glared at him. “What nonsense are you talking about? Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Miyamoto. He has a sum of money and is prepared to let our Dong’An Security Company handle it.”
Ye Feng then turned to look at the man opposite him.
This person was about forty years old and was very handsome. Especially the mature temperament on his body, he was like a handsome uncle in an idol drama.
This kind of man was very attractive to beautiful women.
“Hello, I am Ye Feng.” He took the initiative to reach out to the man.
“Hello, Mr. Ye.” The man shook his hand gracefully.
But Ye Feng could acutely sense that there was a trace of coldness beneath his smile. He was clearly hostile toward him.
“What were you guys talking about just now?”
Ye Feng slowly leaned back on the chair, one hand hooked onto Xu Man’s shoulder.
Xu Man didn’t reject it either, as if it was a matter of course.
This time, Miyamoto Sei’s expression became even uglier.
“Mr. Miyamoto was just talking about some interesting things about his investments. It was very fun, ” Xu Man hurriedly explained to Ye Feng, afraid that he would misunderstand.
“Oh, what kind of business does Mr. Miyamoto do?” Ye Feng crossed his legs as he sized up Miyamoto Sei.
Although Miyamoto Sei was extremely annoyed, he still pretended to be very cultured. “I run a bar.”
Ye Feng showed an interested expression. “Wow, I heard that people who open bars have a wide network, and they know people from all walks of life. Is that true?”
Miyamoto Sei took a sip of his coffee and said impatiently, “It’s alright.”
Ye Feng did not seem to notice his annoyance. He continued to ask, “Then do you know anyone from the Yamaguchi-gumi?”
Miyamoto Sei slowly put down his coffee cup. “I know Yamamoto Takeshi, the vice president of the Edo branch. He came to my bar a few days ago and we drank together.”
Ye Feng’s face was filled with admiration. “You can actually drink with Vice President Yamamoto? Then you’re also a big shot..”
