Chapter 21: A Visit from the Deceased

A week later, when Katsumasa, who was tired with his bags on his back, walked out of the subway station, he walked in the direction of his home. Thinking that before he left home, he was still empty-handed, but when he came back, his backpack was full of specialties from Futian Farm, including chestnuts, ginkgo, fruits and cheese, butter and other things, these things were enough for Shangang to eat for a while, and the most important thing is that these things are all employee benefits given to employees by the new boss, which makes Shangang feel that the bosses of Songan are really very caring.

When he passed by a convenience store not far from his home, he was a little worried about his living expenses and rent, but he ...... Shan Gang still walked into the convenience store and bought a oden and two bottles of beer for his dinner, and when Shan Gang came to the door with these things satisfied, he saw a black Mercedes Benz sedan parked in front of the door, which was out of place in this neighborhood. Seeing this car, Shangang couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

Just when the hill was full of footsteps and some hesitation, the car door suddenly opened at this time, and I saw a man in a suit get out of the car unhurriedly, and then stood up straight respectfully and saluted solemnly to the hill.

"Brother Shangang, I'm really sorry...... Came to visit you so late, you ...... You won't blame me!"

After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Shan Gang carefully identified it for a long time before finally recognizing the other party, only to see Shan Gang standing for a long time with some emotion, and finally said to the other party with some excitement:

"Jianshi, is that you? I'm almost unrecognizable when you're dressed well, you bastard!"

"Brother Shangang, you really recognized me at a glance, I'm really sorry, I just came back from Korea, and I knew that you finally came out of it. What do you think...... I've heard that you submitted a request to the president to leave the organization, why, is there anyone disrespectful to you......

Seeing that his younger brother Takayama Jianshi, who had been taken care of in the past, was a little excited, Yamaoka Katsumasa suddenly fell silent. I saw that after he hesitated slightly, he asked Gao Shan Jianshi with some vigilance:

"Jianshi, you came to me today...... Whose order was it?"

"Eh, big brother, where are you, I came to you by myself, because I don't know when you will come back, so I wait for you here every night, what's wrong, big brother?"

After Katsumasa Yamaoka saw the other party's expression, he realized that he had misunderstood the other party. So he let go of his guard just now, and then said enthusiastically to Jianshi:

"Since you're here, let's go up and have a drink together, there's nothing to entertain you, only some chestnuts brought back from the countryside!"

"With your invitation from the eldest brother, how dare I dislike it!"

Gao Shan Jianshi respectfully saluted Shan Gang Shengzheng again, and then turned to his subordinates behind him and said:

"You guys just drive back first, I'll stay here and have a few drinks with my eldest brother!"

"Hey!"

After hearing Takayama Jianshi's instructions, the subordinates who came with him all obediently sat in the car, and then drove away. Takayama Jianshi took the initiative to reach out to help Shan Gang Shengzheng pick up his luggage, and then the two stepped on the simple stairs outside the apartment building and climbed to the second floor step by step.

When Katsumasa Yamaoka opened the door of the house where he hadn't lived for a few days, Takayama couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the situation in the room with four walls...... I think that at the beginning, I followed the side of Yamaoka Katsumasa to serve the organization, when did I live in this kind of house, but now...... His eldest brother finally came out of the prison, but he ended up in such a situation, and Gao Shan couldn't help but feel very sad in his heart.

"Big brother, why did you quit the Sumiyoshi Club? With your qualifications, is there anything bad about staying in the organization?"

Hearing Takayama Jianshi's concerned inquiry, Yamaoka Katsumasa did not answer. He just smiled and said to Gao Shan:

"You go and sit over there for a while, I'll boil some water, just cook some chestnuts to entertain you, I brought them back from the farm in Matsusaka City, it's very sweet!"

Seeing that his eldest brother didn't seem to be willing to mention the reason why he left Sumiyoshikai, Takayama Kenichi could only suppress the doubts in his heart, and then obediently sat on the tatami mat next to him. In this way, he quietly watched his eldest brother put on an apron like a housewife, and then took off the prosthetic finger he had put on his left hand and carefully put it aside. Immediately afterwards, the eldest brother put the chestnuts into the sink and washed them, and then put the chestnuts into a pot filled with water and then put them on the stove.

"Come, if you don't dislike it, please drink some beer first, there are some oden here that can be used as snacks, the hospitality is not good, please don't mind!"

"Ah...... Hey, big brother, I'll just do it myself!"

When Gao Shan Jianshi took the chopsticks and beer handed over by his eldest brother, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Anyway, the eldest brother is also a hero who has been born and died in prison for more than ten years in order to organize the organization, but now he has fallen into such a situation, Gao Shan Jianshi feels that he should help his eldest brother.

"Big brother, actually...... Since you were imprisoned in the prison center, I have been highly regarded by the previous generation of presidents over the years, and now I am the vice president, what if ...... If you don't dislike it, I'm willing to resign as vice president and you'll ......."

"The ...... of the city"

Without waiting for Takayama to finish speaking, Yamaoka Katsumasa took the initiative to interrupt the other party's words.

"There's no other reason for quitting the organization, it's just that I'm tired of my old life. After living in a detention center in Tokyo for so many years, I'm tired of who I am. Do you remember, once we were rewarded with a large sum of money by the president, and then I took you to a hotel in Ginza to enjoy the baths, and the result was ...... We had just taken off our clothes and were unceremoniously kicked out because we had tattoos...... I know I remember it now, and until then, I always thought I was amazing, but ...... That's when I found out. Actually, I'm the fool who always thinks I'm right!"

"Big brother...... But you're ...... now."

"Don't worry about me, Jianshi! I'm glad you came to see me, at least, we're still brothers and friends. But...... If you want to give me any more financial support, I will never accept it, I ...... I just want to live with my own hands, and I will never touch the money of the Jihui again. Otherwise...... I'm so sorry for my lost finger!"

After Yamaoka Katsumasa finished speaking, he raised his left hand and smiled a little self-deprecatingly. Then he picked up the beer and drank it all.
