Chapter 2113 You actually defended him?

According to the plans of the Hengchuan and Miyazaki families, the establishment of the Xingyi Industrial Park project was the perfect opportunity for them to illegally mine rare earth minerals in Xingyi.

The two families reached an agreement almost instantly: they would spare no expense to secure the development rights for the second and third phases of the Xingyi Industrial Park.

This explains why, after Hayato Tsunekawa explained the situation to Toshihiko Tsunekawa, Toshihiko readily agreed and promised that there would be no problem with the funds.

Over the years, the Hengchuan and Miyazaki families have kept many people in China.

Some of these people are hidden in society, some are hidden in certain departments, and some have even climbed to high positions.

For example, Bai Xiaopeng, Liao Sen, and that deputy director of the port authority.

For them, a problem that can be solved by spending some money is not a problem.

For many years, people like Bai Xiaopeng have been secretly serving their families.

In return, they laundered all the money Bai Xiaopeng received as bribes through their family's banks, international banks, and some of their hidden companies, dispersing it overseas.

They also helped them acquire assets abroad and settle their families to ensure that they would always serve their families loyally.

The mining of rare earth in Xingyi was originally planned with great confidence.

But to my surprise, it was eventually discovered.

Moreover, most of the flags they planted within China's borders were removed, and the funds they invested were completely lost.

Miyazaki Akinoku was furious about this.

Just as Taishi Hengchuan was preparing to return to the United States, he suddenly received a call from Toshihiko Hengchuan, asking him to go to Osaka first to explain the failure of the operation to his grandfather.

At this moment, Hengchuan Daishi had been led to the spacious living room, where servants poured each of them a cup of tea.

Miyazaki Taisei and Miyazaki Kojiro sat down and waited for Miyazaki Akinoku.

Hengchuan Daishi, however, remained standing straight, like a student who had made a mistake.

Fortunately, less than ten minutes later, Miyazaki Akio walked in with the girl.

The maid quickly handed over a washbasin and a towel.

After washing his hands, Miyazaki Akinoku leisurely sat down in the main seat.

The girl stood silently beside him.

"Daishi greets his maternal grandfather. How has his health been?"

Once Miyazaki Akinoku sat down, Tsunekawa Daishi bowed slightly respectfully and greeted him.

Miyazaki Akinoku's gaze was sharp and stern as he said, "Please sit down."

Hengchuan Daishi said with a face full of guilt, "Grandfather, I have come to apologize and listen to your teachings. I dare not take a seat."

Miyazaki Akinoku did not press the matter and calmly said, "Then you can stand there."

"Yes, maternal grandfather!"

Hengchuan Dashi remained extremely respectful.

"The Hengchuan Dashi and Xingyi rare earth mines ultimately failed. Do you have any explanation for this?"

Miyazaki Akinoku took a sip of tea before slowly asking the question.

Without much thought, Hengchuan Daishi said with deep remorse, "This matter was caused by my improper handling. I am willing to take full responsibility and have no complaints."

Miyazaki Akinobu's eyes flickered, and he glanced at him with some surprise before asking in a deep voice, "This matter has been mainly handled by Tsunekawa Hayato, and he also bears a great deal of responsibility. Why are you taking the blame alone? Don't you know how much this has caused to us Miyazaki and the Tsunekawa family?"

“I understand!” Tsunekawa Daishi bowed his head earnestly. “I am willing to take full responsibility and accept any punishment. I only hope that my grandfather will not pursue Hayato-kun’s responsibility…”

Miyazaki Akinobu gave a somewhat surprised "Oh," and asked, "Why?"

Hengchuan Daishi said, "The main reason for this defeat is a Chinese man named Pi Yangyang. This man is not only treacherous and cunning, but also a martial arts master. He has always been the mortal enemy of our Hengchuan family, and Hayato has almost died at his hands several times."

“Even now, Hayato-kun is still disregarding his own safety and staying alone in China, all for this person. I think he has always been protecting our family's safety. Although this incident failed, holding him accountable would only discourage him. So... please, Grandfather, let me take full responsibility!”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Miyazaki Akinobu's eyes, and his tone softened considerably. "Oishi, I didn't expect you to have such a sense of responsibility. I underestimated you before. Alright, let's not talk about accountability for now. Tell me, what exactly is going on with that Pi Yangyang?"

Hengchuan Daishi's lips twitched, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "This person is Yan Yangyu, the last surviving member of the Yan family twenty years ago."

Upon hearing this, Miyazaki Akinoku's teacup trembled, and some tea spilled out.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his expression showed a hint of disbelief as he solemnly asked, "The last surviving member of the Yan family? Are you sure?"

Hengchuan Dashi nodded and said, "Confirmed! This person, when he was in the capital and presiding over the business war between the Zhao and Qi families, publicly admitted that he was Yan Yangyu, a descendant of the Yan family. It's just that for some reason, he has been using the alias Pi Yangyang ever since..."

Kojiro Miyazaki, who had remained silent until now, sneered coldly, "Isn't it obvious? He's afraid that his identity will be exposed, attracting the pursuit of his enemies."

Upon hearing this, Miyazaki Taisei's expression changed, and he turned to scold, "Grandfather is asking questions, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Kojiro Miyazaki said dismissively, "I didn't say anything wrong. If he wasn't afraid of being hunted down, why wouldn't he dare to face the world under his real name?"

Miyazaki Taisei's face turned extremely ugly, and he scolded in a low voice, "Foolish! Didn't you hear Oishi say that he publicly admitted his identity?"

Kojiro Tsunekawa was taken aback and stammered, unable to utter a word.

Miyazaki Akinobu seemed unconcerned about Miyazaki Kojiro's foolishness, and instead said thoughtfully, "The descendant of the Yan family, interesting! I didn't expect that the great fire back then wouldn't have killed him!"

Miyazaki Taisei suddenly seemed to understand something and said in surprise, "Father, Yan Yangyu has so publicly acknowledged his identity and founded the Yan Group. He... has he come back for revenge?"

Miyazaki Akinoku gave a cold laugh. "Revenge? Just him alone?"

Hengchuan Dashi said, "Grandfather, this person... is said to be the current sect leader of the Nine Mysteries Sect..."

"what?"

Miyazaki Akinoku stared at Tsunekawa Daishi in shock and disbelief.

"Grandfather didn't know?" Hengchuan Daishi also looked puzzled.

Miyazaki Akinoku said in a deep voice, "Where did you get this information from?"

Hengchuan Daishi said, "The family has always arranged for Hengchuan Hayato to monitor the movements of the Nine Profound Sect in China. It was Hayato-kun who obtained the information that Yan Yangyu... also known as Pi Yangyang, is indeed the only successor of the original sect leader of the Nine Profound Sect, Tianyang Shangren. After Tianyang Shangren passed away, he took over as the sect leader of the Nine Profound Sect."

Miyazaki Akinobu's cheeks twitched violently a few times, and a fierce anger flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Isn't Tsunekawa Hayato one of the young masters of the Black God Temple? Now that you know Pi Yangyang's true identity, why are you still letting him live?"

A cold glint flashed in Taishi Hengchuan's eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "Hayato-kun has fought him many times, but has been defeated by him repeatedly. In the battle at the snow mountain, not only did he lose his mentor, but he himself almost lost his life."

“Grandfather, Pi Yangyang is indeed very capable. Not long ago, the death of Guanghua Jun was probably his doing.”

"boom!"

Miyazaki Akinoku slammed his hand on the coffee table, and the mahogany coffee table instantly shattered into pieces, cups and saucers flew everywhere, and tea splashed everywhere.

"Hmph, I think it's because Hengchuan Hayato is trying to keep a bandit at bay and deliberately not killing him!" Miyazaki Akinobu said angrily. "He's hailed as a martial arts prodigy. The Hengchuan family has spent a lot of money over the years to find nourishing elixirs for him to help him cultivate. Is it really possible that he can't kill a mere orphan of the Yan family?"

Taishi Tsunekawa seemed startled, his expression changing abruptly. He instinctively took two steps back, looking at Miyazaki Akinobu with fear, and stammered, "Grandfather, please calm down! I think... Grandfather might have misunderstood Hayato! He would never do something like harboring a bandit to enhance his own power..."

"Hengchuan Dashi, you actually defend him?"

At this moment, Miyazaki Taisei also stood up, stared at Tsunekawa Daishi, and solemnly said.

" I…………"

Hengchuan Daishi looked anxious, as if he had something to say but couldn't find the words.

"Oishi, don't you even think about it? You are the legitimate son of the Kōkō family!" Miyazaki Taisei gritted his teeth, clearly disappointed in him. "What is Kōkō Hayato? He's just an illegitimate son of a Kabuki actor! The Kōkō family's assets should have been inherited by you."

"Hayato Hengchuan is now using this to his advantage, hoping to keep your father in check and prevent him from easily designating an heir. Can't you even understand this? You're hailed as the most outstanding business genius of the new generation in the Hengchuan family!"

"Although that's a matter for the Hengchuan family, it's also closely related to my Miyazaki family! Hengchuan Hayato wants to keep a bandit around to maintain his own power and doesn't want to kill Pi Yangyang, so my Miyazaki family will take action on his behalf. If the descendants of the Yan family aren't eliminated completely, they will eventually become a threat to both of our families!"

Before Taishi Tsunekawa could speak, Akinobu Miyazaki suddenly stood up and said in a firm tone.
