Chapter 2104 Everyone has their own agenda

At the Langfa Sect's dojo, Hengchuan Hayato was leisurely drinking tea, waiting for news from Bai Zheteng and Bai Yuanji.

In order to secure the Xingyi Industrial Park project, he directly gave Bai Zheteng 80 million yuan and provided him with the connection to Liu Chang'e, allowing them to use money to break through Bai Xiaopeng's power.

Liu Chang'e readily accepted the 80 million and promised that the Bai Group would definitely have a share in this project.

According to Hengchuan Hayato's confession, Bai Zheteng explicitly told Liu Chang'e that the second and third sections of the project were mandatory for them.

Today, during the bidding, Hayato Tsunekawa did not stay in the capital, but instead came to the Langfa Sect's dojo.

Hengchuan Daishi sat opposite him, his expression indifferent, drinking with him.

In Hengchuan Daishi's eyes, there was no trace of discrimination he harbored against his half-brother.

"Hayato-kun, are you sure Bai Zheteng and his team can definitely win the second and third sections?"

Taishi Tsunekawa poured a cup of tea for Hayato Tsunekawa, and asked him slowly and deliberately.

Hayato Tsunekawa gently swirled the teacup in his hand and said with great certainty, "Don't worry, Oishi-kun, there won't be any problems."

"Oh, Hayato-kun, how can you be so sure?" Taishi Tsunekawa asked again.

A glint of light flashed in Hengchuan Hayato's eyes as he decisively said, "Of course, because Bai Xiaopeng has already accepted the 80 million we offered!"

Hengchuan Daishi paused for a moment, then frowned slightly and said, "Hayato-kun, the Chinese are always cunning. Although Bai Xiaopeng received the 80 million, it was Liu Chang'e who handled it. What will you do if he denies it later?"

Hayato Tsunekawa sneered, downed a cup of tea in one gulp, and said, "Why do you think I would know that Liu Chang'e was his hand?"

Hengchuan Daishi's eyes flickered for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. "I see!"

Just then, Kanako Takeyu knocked on the door and entered, respectfully reporting, "Chairman, Mr. Oishi, we have news. The Shirai Group has won the second and third bids!"

Hayato Tsunekawa immediately smiled with relief and looked at Daishi Tsunekawa.

Taishi Tsunekawa picked up his teacup and said, "Hayato-kun, congratulations! You have done a great service to the Tsunekawa family this time!"

Although he appeared very happy, a hint of murderous intent flickered deep in his eyes.

Hayato Tsunekawa picked up his teacup and gently clinked it against his, then smiled calmly and said, "This credit doesn't belong to me alone; Oishi-kun and Uncle Thirteen also deserve credit."

“If it weren’t for Hayato staying in China and keeping an eye on this project, we would have missed out on it.” Taishi Hengchuan suddenly said with some emotion, “You know, that place has always been a concern for our Hengchuan family! For decades, we’ve finally got it.”

Hayato Tsunekawa nodded and said, "Back then, our grandfather traveled all over China with the army, finding many mineral deposits for the empire. It was precisely because of this that the empire was able to dominate China. It's just a pity that we were defeated in the Pacific War, otherwise..."

Hengchuan Dashi smiled coldly, "History has passed, but the contributions our Hengchuan family made to the empire will not be forgotten. Our grandfather stayed in China after the war to search for even more valuable rare earth deposits..."

"Unfortunately, by the time he discovered the rare earth mines in Xingyi, he was already on his deathbed. On his deathbed, he was still thinking about this place and left a will stating that no matter what method was used, the rare earths here must be transported back to the Empire!"

Hayato Tsunekawa nodded.

He was quite familiar with the history of the Hengchuan family.

The back mountains of Baicun and Wucun in Xingyi have always been one of the Hengchuan family's biggest secrets.

Their grandfather came to China with the army and searched for mineral deposits everywhere.

They would mine wherever they found it, and then transport the mined ore back to J country in large quantities to keep their war machine going.

As a result, the Hengchuan family became a super-rich family in Japan, and its grandfather was even received by the Emperor on several occasions, becoming the pride of the Hengchuan family.

Even after the war, their grandfather continued to stay in China, secretly conducting explorations.

Finally, in the late 1970s, the back mountains of Baicun and Wucun in Xingyi were discovered, with extremely high levels of rare metals.

At that time, China also began large-scale exploration work, and the exploration team could find that place at any time.

Their grandfather coveted that place. In order to protect that rare earth mine, he spent a lot of money to invite Master Long, a feng shui master from the port city, to deceive Wu Village and Bai Village, telling them that it was a feng shui treasure land suitable for ancestral burial.

At that time, Wu Village and Bai Village were thinking about moving their ancestral graves, which were scattered in various places, to one place and building an ancestral hall for future sacrificial activities.

They had complete faith in Master Long, and after a string of nonsense from him, they moved all their ancestral graves to the back mountain.

At that time, the Huaxia Exploration Team also became interested in that place and was about to go there to take samples for exploration.

As a result, Master Long misled the villagers of the two villages, saying that if they were allowed to survey the graves, it would damage the feng shui of their ancestral graves and be extremely detrimental to their descendants.

The villagers were enraged and clashed with the exploration team, injuring several members of the team.

In order to maintain stability and unity, local authorities persuaded the exploration team to temporarily abandon the exploration in this area and to continue the exploration work after the villagers were persuaded.

But the exploration team had barely left the area when they received another assignment, which delayed them for decades.

The Hengchuan family has always kept an eye on this place, and they send people to keep an eye on it whenever there is any disturbance.

Now that an industrial park is being built here, they feel their opportunity has arrived.

Without hesitation, Toshihiko Tsunekawa mobilized funds and spared no expense to secure the project.

To ensure everything went smoothly, they once again lured Bai Village and Wu Village with incentives. Before the project bidding, they rented the back hills of the two villages at a high price. Then, under the guise of relocating graves, they secretly transported the excavated rare earth to the dock and shipped it back to Japan by cargo ship.

With the help of Hengchuan Hayato, Hengchuan Oishi, and Hengchuan Juzo, everything seemed to be flawless.

Now, the Bai Group has won the second and third bids, which will allow them to transport rare earths with even greater impunity in the future.

"Hayato-kun, Miyazaki Mitsuka died unexpectedly, and you have now made such a great contribution to the family. Father will definitely value you even more. You will be the heir to the family business in the future."

Suddenly, Taishi Tsunekawa stared at Hayato Tsunekawa and said earnestly.

But a glint of light flashed deep within his eyes behind his glasses.

A sudden thought struck Tsunekawa Hayato.

He calmly looked at Hengchuan Daishi and asked in a deep voice, "Daishi-kun, how did Guanghua-kun die?"

Hengchuan Daishi said, "I don't know the specifics either. But according to what I've heard, Miyazaki Mitsuka provoked a Chinese man named Pi Yangyang, the two had a conflict, and then Miyazaki Mitsuka was killed."

"You mean, Guanghua-kun was killed by Pi Yangyang?" A cold glint flashed in Hengchuan Hayato's eyes.

Hengchuan Daishi shook his head slightly, "There's another rumor that Miyazaki Mitsuka didn't die at Pi Yangyang's hands, but was killed by a long-range sniper shot..."

After a moment of silence, Tsunekawa Hayato asked, "Oishi-kun, who do you think killed Kōka-kun?"

Taishi Tsunekawa gave a wry smile and said, "Hayato-kun, I really don't know about this. The whole matter is still under investigation. My mother's entire family is investigating this matter and is determined to find the real culprit behind Kouka-kun's death... I believe that this person will definitely be found."

Hayato Tsunekawa kept staring at his glasses, noticing that he remained calm and composed, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

If there is anything to it, it is a hint of sadness, a sadness for the death of Miyazaki Mitsuka.

“Kouka-kun is my older brother. He was originally the first in line to inherit the family business, but he met with such an accident. I am also very saddened. Hayato-kun, tell me, who would want to kill him?”

Upon hearing Taishi Tsunekawa's somewhat melancholic question, Hayato Tsunekawa's eyebrows twitched slightly.

His gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Oishi-kun, you're not asking this because you suspect that I killed Miyazaki Mitsuka, are you?"

Taishi Tsunekawa seemed taken aback, then stared at him blankly and asked, "Hayato-kun, can you do it?"

Hayato Tsunekawa tightened his grip on the teacup, causing the veins on the back of his hand to bulge.

But he quickly released his strength and revealed a slight smile, "No."

Hengchuan Daishi smiled easily, "I also think you can't."
