Chapter 728: All Members Confirmed
The convoy raced along the night highway.
Inside a spacious SUV, Shen Qingzhu glanced at Wei Dong and the knight sitting in the back, deep in thought.
"So, you two are from that... cult?"
"It's the Oath Society." The knight corrected seriously. "It's a professional organization active within the Mist."
"Oh."
"..."
"Qiye, is the fat guy really okay?" Shen Qingzhu didn't seem particularly interested in the Oath Society and directly asked Lin Qiye.
"Don't worry, he just needs deep sleep to recover, but exactly how long that will take is unclear."
Shen Qingzhu nodded slightly, then turned to look at the blue-robed girl beside Lin Qiye. "What about Jialan?"
Jialan patted her chest and grinned. "How could I possibly be hurt? As for you, it's been such a long time since we last met, and now you've become a mafia godfather? Very handsome!"
Shen Qingzhu smiled but said nothing.
"I have a question." Wei Dong couldn't help but speak up. "If I'm not mistaken, this is the largest yakuza organization in the Kansai region, the Kurosatsu Group, right? Who exactly are you, and why can you command so many Kurosatsu members?"
Shen Qingzhu glanced at him, somewhat puzzled.
"I'm the Big Boss. Isn't that obvious?"
Wei Dong was stunned.
As someone who had been operating in this area for a long time, a "paratrooper" long-term undercover gathering information about the Human Enclosure, Wei Dong naturally knew what kind of power the Kurosatsu Group wielded, and had heard stories about the legendary boss of the Kurosatsu Group.
But he never expected that this legendary figure would actually be a member of Great Xia's Fifth Special Squad?
"Were you already familiar with the yakuza world before you came here?" Wei Dong asked.
"? Shen Qingzhu looked confused. "Why would I know anything about this?"
"So you conducted deep research on Japanese culture?"
"Japan? Never had any contact with it."
"...Then you should speak Japanese, right?"
"I know three sentences." Shen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment. "Now I probably know five."
Wei Dong: ...
Wei Dong stared at Shen Qingzhu, his eyes filled with deep confusion. He couldn't understand how someone like Shen Qingzhu, such a greenhorn, could have一步步 become a yakuza legend commanding the entire Kurosatsu Group.
Could it be... this was the legendary once-in-a-million undercover talent?
"By the way." Shen Qingzhu seemed to remember something and turned to Lin Qiye seriously.
"My people have found Cao Yuan's whereabouts."
...
Tokyo.
Chiyoda District.
In a certain detention facility.
Behind the metal prison doors, Cao Yuan sat in the corner of the small room, watching a strand of sunlight filter through the window, falling into deep confusion.
The day before yesterday, after recovering in the Pure Land, he had bid farewell to An Qingyu and set off confidently on his journey to find Lin Qiye...
However, the moment he descended from the Pure Land back onto Tokyo's ground, after wandering around for half a day, he was sitting on the Shinkansen preparing to leave Tokyo when a plump middle-aged woman in the carriage suddenly screamed, claiming there was a molester harassing her.
When the police arrived, the panicked middle-aged woman had already been scared to the point of kneeling on the ground. But since there were too many people in the carriage at the time, and she was too frightened, it seemed she hadn't clearly seen who actually harassed her. As a result, everyone in her vicinity was briefly questioned by the police.
No inquiry would have been fine, but upon questioning, Cao Yuan—who had no identity documents and looked like a fierce demon—was singled out by the police.
Thus, he who had just escaped from the prison in the Pure Land was again brought to the detention center in Chiyoda District, held for interrogation.
Cao Yuan was worried that if he resisted, it would instead draw widespread police attention, and he couldn't draw his blade to use his Forbidden Ruins. So he could only乖乖 follow the police to the detention center, waiting for a chance to slip out secretly.
Cao Yuan thought about it all night but still couldn't understand how such an absurd thing could happen to him!
Ever since he was young, it seemed he had a special connection to prisons. First, as a child, his Forbidden Ruins went out of control and he was locked in a police station, then transferred to the Purification Chamber. Later, after finally being out for a while, after meeting Lin Qiye he was thrown back in again. Now that he had become a member of the Fifth Special Squad, he was still tragically imprisoned in the Pure Land for two years, and now—this detention center...
The concept of prison seemed to forever entrap him.
He was like a wild beast trapped in the cage of fate, from beginning to end, unable to obtain true freedom.
In the cramped and dim detention cell, Cao Yuan let out a long sigh.
Just then, a police officer walked in from outside, knocking on his cell door.
"You can go."
Cao Yuan was stunned and looked up questioningly.
"Someone bailed you out." The officer said as he opened the cell door. "Using the Kazamatsuri family's influence to get you out—your background is quite strong, huh? Go on, and try not to come back again."
The Kazamatsuri family?
Cao Yuan walked out the cell door in confusion, not asking too many questions, and headed straight out.
The moment he stepped out of the detention facility's entrance, several cars pulled up at the door. A little girl in a black cherry blossom kimono, with a white long sword hanging at her waist, leaned against the car. When she saw Cao Yuan emerge, she brushed the dust off her hands and walked forward.
"You're Cao Yuan, right?" she asked.
Cao Yuan nodded. "And you are..."
"My name is Yuzuri Nana, currently the young head of the Kazamatsuri family." The little girl smiled faintly. "Qiye-gege asked me to come bail you out. Come with me."
Qiye?
Hearing those two words, Cao Yuan's pupils contracted sharply.
"You're the young head of the Kazamatsuri family and you know Lin Qiye?" He glanced at the black vehicles around him, on guard. "How do I prove this?"
Yuzuri Nana turned back, helplessly shrugging her shoulders. She pulled out a phone from her chest and made a call, then handed it to Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan took the phone and raised it to his ear.
A few seconds later, a familiar voice came through from the other end:
"Cao Yuan, long time no see."
...
In the car, after Lin Qiye finished the call with Cao Yuan, he helplessly smiled wryly.
"Having a female member of Kurosatsu pretend to be molested, then framing him into the detention center to control his freedom... Your Kurosatsu Group's methods are really overbearing."
Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow. "There's no helping it. When those men discovered him in Tokyo, he was already about to board the Shinkansen to leave. They didn't dare forcibly stop him, and they were afraid of alerting him, so they had to use this method...
At least the result is good."
Lin Qiye nodded. "Though, he's going to be quite郁闷..."
"By the way, is your business all taken care of?"
"All done."
"Then what should we do next?"
Lin Qiye contemplated for a moment, then slowly spoke. "Since we've already contacted Cao Yuan, and he says he also knows where An Qingyu and Jiang Er are, now that all members' locations have been confirmed, we should inform them to gather, and then...
Return to China."
