Chapter 1 [Conflict of Interests] (1)(1/2)
The ninja screamed at the top of his lungs. Before he could react, Xiao Yu's left fist hit his throat again. The ninja's body staggered back two steps and fell to the ground. The broken green bamboo stump happened to hit his back. The tip of the bamboo leaked out from his front heart, and blood flowed out along his body.
Xiao Yu spat in disgust and picked up the oriental knife from his hand. He knew clearly that the other party was not alone, and that his companions would soon arrive here.
The night has completely fallen, and he wants to leave the mountain area under the cover of the night.
At 9:30 pm, Hiroichi Kuroki arrived at the morgue of the police department. The information showed that Mieko had no relatives. As a heavyweight in the community, he took on the heavy responsibility of recognizing the body. In fact, he had no need to come here in person. But at this time, even though he had always been calm, he could not wait to confirm Mieko's death personally.
The coroner pulled open the freezer, and a female body appeared in front of Hiroyuki Kuroki. He rubbed his eyes hard. The corpse was not Fujita Mieko at all. He stared at the coroner angrily and shouted almost like a roar: "Are you wrong?"
The coroner looked at the number of the body: "Yes, the deceased is indeed called Mieko Fujita!"
"Bastard!" Kuroki Hiroyuki cursed fiercely, turned around and walked outside the morgue. At this time, someone pulled down the electric switch and the entire morgue fell into darkness.
Fear instantly occupied Hiroyuki Kuroki's entire heart. He quickly took out his pistol from his waist. Before he could complete the action, he heard the sound of bullets passing through the muffler. Then his body hit hard on the metal outer wall of the refrigerator, and the cold feeling spread throughout his body along his back.
Kuroki Hiroyuki let out an almost crazy roar, but his voice could not continue. The bullet immediately passed through his throat, and his body kept twitching in the dark.
Toshiki Namachi and Mikeko stood side by side on the top of Kobe Harbor Tower, overlooking the entire city from here, as if everything was at their feet.
Mieko's eyes were still distraught, and Xiao Yu's appearance was still lingering in her mind.
Toshichi Omachi's eyes were full of excitement and expectation. Hiroyuki Kuroki's death was just the beginning of the battle tonight. He slowly calculated the time, and a flame rose in the southeast direction. Toshichi Omachi's eyes became shiny. Tonight was the beginning of dominating the entire Japanese underworld for their brother and sister...
When Xiao Yu appeared in front of Lin Zufan, the other party almost failed to recognize him. It was not until Xiao Yu shouted loudly: "Mr. Lin!" He realized that the young man in front of him was Xiao Yu.
Lin Zufan quickly helped Xiao Yu into the room, and the blood loss and cold made Xiao Yu's face pale.
Lin Zufan cleaned and bandaged his wounds and brought clean clothes for him to put on.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yu finally recovered, Lin Zufan nodded to him with a smile: "Are you in trouble?"
Xiao Yu sighed but said nothing.
Lin Zufan turned on the TV in the room and said, "Song Laohei called me and asked me to pay attention to your whereabouts. I didn't expect you to come by yourself."
Xiao Yu's eyes were attracted by the news on the TV. Although he couldn't understand Japanese, he could guess the Japanese characters on it. Lin Zuhan translated: "The veteran figure of the Yamaguchi group, Hiroyuki Kuroki, was shot dead in the morgue of the police department in an unknown way!"
But Mieko's beautiful face appeared in front of Xiao Yu's eyes. Only then did he realize that Mieko did not die in the fire. This incident was a trap from beginning to end. Do you want to lure out this biggest enemy step by step?
Xiao Yu felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. Mieko teased herself again. He could no longer tell what kind of feelings she had for him.
Lin Zufan seemed to see through Xiao Yu's heart: "Song Laohei and the others have returned to Kobe. Do you want to call them?"
An indescribable warmth instantly filled Xiao Yu's blood. He began to reflect on everything he did. It was precisely because of his emotional impulse that these friends came to Kobe, which was full of crisis again.
Lin Zufan said earnestly: "Ayu, Kobe is not the best season for travel now..."
Xiao Yu appeared in front of his friend tiredly, but he unexpectedly did not see the beautiful figure of Misa Kaori. Song Laohei and Hu Zhongwu pressed his shoulders left and right, and happened to touch Xiao Yu's injured left shoulder. Xiao Yu couldn't help but scream in pain. Song Laohei looked gloating: "You kid deserve this, you dare to eat alone on your back."
Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly: "Where is Misa?"
Song Laohei grinned unnaturally: "She has disappeared when she returns to Kobe. I guess she doesn't want to see you..."
Xiao Yu was silent.
Huo Yuan ran over happily with the air ticket in his hand: "I am really worried that you will be killed by the Japanese devils. Who should I ask to report on so much travel expenses?"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but curse: "Damn! I'm going to be stolen this time, what can you do?"
"This is not your boss Xiao's style. Are you unhappy these two days and you are so eager to get angry?" Huo Yuan did not miss any chance to tease Xiao Yu.
Hu Zhongwu reminded: "Come on the plane right away, let's go in!"
At this time, Xiao Yu's eyes were frozen in front of him.
Mieko Fujita stood quietly at the entrance of the airport in a black kimono. Her eyes stared at Xiao Yu. The whole world suddenly became silent. There was only each other's existence in their eyes.
Xiao Yu slowly walked towards her; "Hello..." His stiff words reminded Mieko that there was irrelevant distance between them.
Mieko's smile seemed sad and far-fetched. She didn't know whether she had gained more or lost more: "I'm leaving?"
Xiao Yu asked back, "Is there any reason for me to stay here?"
Mieko's eyes trembled for a moment, and she tried her best to suppress her tears. At this time, she needed to show her strength: "A good journey!" Mieko stretched out her slender hand to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and finally held her slender hand. Her palms were very cold. I wonder if her heart was the same.
"Goodbye!" Xiao Yu resolutely walked past Mikeko.
"Xiao Yu!" Mieko called him again. She turned around and stuffed a file bag into Xiao Yu's hand, and ran quickly to the distance.
Xiao Yu did not look back, for fear that he would not be able to control his feelings if he turned back.
The passenger plane flew in the clouds, and Xiao Yu's eyes were always staring at the outside of the string window. He opened the file bag and pulled out the documents inside. These were two contracts, about the transfer of Tainan Deepwater Port! Xiao Yu pursed his lips vigorously. Mieko had signed his name on it. As long as he signed his name, the Deepwater Port project would fall into his hands. Xiao Yu said silently in his heart: "Goodbye Mieko, goodbye to my love forever..."
Xiao Yu had just returned to Tainan, and phone calls from Li Jizu and Mr. He came one after another. Even the powerful Ma Chuliang called to greet him personally. Xiao Yu knew that these people were false and wanted to get the specific news from Deep Water Port was true. Xiao Yu did not want to reveal this information for the time being, and he was polite and perfunctory to everyone.
After receiving Mieko's transfer letter, Xiao Yu was invincible in the project of Deepwater Port. He began to consider his future direction. Ma Chuliang is a crucial figure. If the Deepwater Port project wants to proceed smoothly, he must get his support.
He Tiansheng's financial resources are another important support. Mieko's transfer of the deepwater port is not unconditional. The transfer fee of 300 billion yen is really an astronomical figure for Xiao Yu at present.
As long as you grasp these two powerful backers, Li Jizu has undoubtedly become a useless person, and Xiao Yu can't let him get a piece of the pie. Putting Li Jizu aside at this time is tantamount to publicly declaring war on him and the Triad Association. Li Jizu will never silently bear the fate of being abandoned. After thinking about it over and over again, Xiao Yu decided to take a look at He Tiansheng's meaning first.
Before the bidding, Xiao Yu completely closed Mingsheng Wharf. He used the relationship of the municipal government to re-register a new company, "Century Shipping". The company's address was selected at the "Millennium Building" in the center of Tainan. Taking advantage of the opening opportunity, he asked Zhuo Kechun to go to Macau in person to invite Mr. He to come and cut the ribbon.
The welcome party was scheduled to be held on the next day in the Sky Garden on the 78th floor of the Millennium Building. Xiao Yu was discussing the arrangement of the party with Ma Xinyi, but saw He Tiansheng walking towards Xiao Yu in a wheelchair accompanied by Fanni and Wang Jue.
Xiao Yu, who was talking to someone else, quickly came forward: "Didn't the old man tell me that the ribbon is coming tomorrow? Why did he come today?" He Tiansheng laughed and said, "I want to come one day later, but some people don't want to!"
Xiao Yu then remembered Fanny behind him. After not seeing him for a while, Fanny became more and more charming. Perhaps today was because of public occasions, she seemed much more reserved than before.
Wang Jue still had a face that could make people drip honey. Xiao Yu really couldn't appreciate him much. He greeted him quickly and accompanied Mr. He to his office on the 77th floor.
He Tiansheng looked at the decoration of the entire office with interest and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the number seven of me actually spreads you too!" Xiao Yu laughed: "I want to borrow some luck from you, don't mind!"
He Tiansheng and Xiao Yu did not want to keep it. He took out the transfer documents for the Deepwater Port Project: "Old man! You will definitely be very interested in something."
After carefully browsing every detail of the document, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "The price is very reasonable. I thought they would pay 500 billion yen."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "The old man should worry more about the funds!" He paused and said, "No one except the old man knew about the transfer of the book, and Li Jizu was no exception!"
He Tiansheng's deep eyes flashed for a moment, and he could easily hear Xiao Yu's subtext. He moved his wheelchair and came to the window. From here, he could overlook the entire Tainan. He said with deep meaning: "From here, Tainan is really too small. If the population continues to grow, the city will sooner or later face the danger of explosion!"
Xiao Yu came behind him: "There is an old saying: It is easy to invite God, but it is difficult to send God."
He Tiansheng laughed, and pointed at Xiao Yu's chest with his finger: "Since he realizes the difficulties, he should think of all solutions when he is not fully prepared."
He pointed to the harbor in the distance. After the deepwater port was built, the biggest impact was Hong Kong's black shipping. You must consider this matter sooner or later.
Xiao Yu said with concern: "The reason why I have never transferred the book publicly in my hands is because I am afraid that this incident will prompt the union between other underworlds."
He Tiansheng reminded him: "Have you ever thought of who will become your customer?"
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. He had been considering the triad that owned a port. Hutchison and others, but he had never officially thought about his future customers. The principle of comparing the three companies is universal at any time. Once the deepwater port is built, the first thing he faces is to compete with other opponents for customer sources. And these so-called customers can be developed by him into allies on the front line.
He Tiansheng said meaningfully: "Selling out some of the benefits to our future customers, Deepwater Port will become the core of gathering the strength of the martial arts world. The more customers you have, the greater your own strength."
On the day of the opening of "Century Shipping", all the underworld heroes who dominated Hong Kong and Taiwan appeared, and anyone could see Xiao Yu's vigorous development.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon became a gathering of gangsters. You Tian was born to host it in secret, and everything was going smoothly.
Li Jizu obviously didn't know that he had been excluded from the alliance by Xiao Yu and He Tiansheng, so he still happily congratulated Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu naturally didn't show any expression. No matter how Li Jizu asked, he didn't mention anything that happened in Japan.
Although Zhang Sufeng did not come in person, he sent the "Engine" to congratulate him. Fortunately, Si Zhen went to the hospital to take care of Ami today and did not attend the cocktail party. Otherwise, the two might have something to do when they meet.
Han Wangjiang of Taichung Tiandao League and his subordinate Xue Zhengdong also attended the reception. Xiao Yu only met him one time, and this time he mainly depends on He Tiansheng's face.
Originally, Xiao Yu was going to ask Ma Chuliang and Mr. He to cut the ribbon together. Later, considering that there are many people coming to the world today, Ma Chuliang is a government official after all, and his image of the public is very important, he finally gave up this idea.
The cocktail party began in a warm atmosphere. Xiao Yu originally planned to invite Zhuo Kechun as his female companion, but she had already agreed, but before the cocktail party opened, she gave up and refused to attend the cocktail party on the excuse of being unwell. It was probably because of Li Jizu's attendance.
At the end of Xiao Yu's speech, Fanny came to him in a red dress with a smile. Xiao Yu frowned: "I smile so mysteriously, what are the tricks?" Fanny actually reached out to hold Xiao Yu's arm.
"Don't interfere! It's a bad impact for people to see!" Xiao Yu wanted to shake her arm away.
Fanny held it tightly and said, "I see you alone, I pity you and act as your girlfriend temporarily!"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry: "When you have time, do you still go and accompany your old man? Why are you causing trouble here?"
"He's too boring, not as interesting as you!"
Xiao Yu nodded helplessly. At this time, the bosses of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Han Wangjiang and Xue Zhengdong, walked towards them, and a polite smile quickly spread on Xiao Yu's face.
Han Wangjiang laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao is so admirable. Miss Fanny, who is arrogant, has been attracted by you." Xiao Yu didn't have much affection for him. This person's words are not only straightforward but also lacking in standard.
Xue Zhengdong smiled awkwardly, and he also felt that the boss's speaking skills were too poor.
"We are ordinary friends!" Xiao Yu explained with a smile.
Han Wangjiang looked at Fannie with a warm look, and then said, "Lovers always start with ordinary friends!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but curse, but said, "Mr. Han is so humorous!" Han Wangjiang couldn't hear Xiao Yu's sarcasm for him at all, so he raised his glass and touched Xiao Yu, and then said, "In the future, Tainan will be the world of Mr. Xiao, please take care of my business!"
Xiao Yu knew that he started his business by selling arms. If the deepwater port was built, he would definitely be troubled. For such a future big customer, try to offend him as little as possible. Moreover, his relationship with He Tiansheng is extraordinary. Xiao Yu responded politely for a few words before finding an excuse to leave.
The engine took the initiative to come to Xiao Yu. His eyes looked at Xiao Yu and he seemed a little dissatisfied. Xiao Yu immediately realized that it was because there was more Fanny around him.
"Qingqing will be back lately. Have you ever thought about calling her?"
Xiao Yu smiled unnaturally: "I went to Japan a few days ago and just came back."
"Isn't you so busy that you don't even have time to make a phone call?" Qiong glared at Fanny fiercely: "Are you just taking care of He Tiansheng's granddaughter?"
Fanny could no longer suppress her anger: "You bastard! Why do you speak to Ayu in this tone?" Her shouting attracted all the guests' attention here.
The engine sneered: "I don't know anything like a woman like you!" Fanny was so angry that she wanted to splash him with wine. Xiao Yu caught her wrist and the wine spilled Xiao Yu all over.
