With the last tranche of $500 million being remitted to the designated account of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi in time, the agreement between the Hashimoto and Ogata families to acquire the shares of the Mitsubishi consortium from the Iwasaki family came into effect. In the afternoon of the same day, Yasutaro Hashimoto and Sakura Ogata went to visit Eiichi Iwasaki and Shintaro Iwasaki.

The actual owner of the equity is not a family, but the Hashimoto-Ogata Sangyo Group.

If all goes well, the "industrial group" will send someone to the "Jinyao Society" in the middle of next month (the second Friday of the month, which is called "Jinyao" in the Chinese language) and become the twenty-ninth member.

All Yasutaro Hashimoto and Sakuraka Ogata have to do is to confirm who will attend the "Golden Shine Club".

Because Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf both said that they would not participate in the affairs of the group, it is very likely that Kotaro Hashimoto will represent the group in the end to participate in the "Jinyao Meeting". It's just that Kotaro Hashimoto's health has deteriorated severely, and it is unknown whether he can travel far again, so it is likely that Liu Wei will come forward in the end.

After leaving Nagasaki, the group headed to Kyoto.

Although Sakuraka Ogata warmly invited, Yasutaro Hashimoto was not in good health, and Liu Wei and others returned to Yokohama overnight. Thinking that there were still many unresolved problems, Sakura Ogata could only ask Mobei Wolf to accompany Liu Wei to Yokohama, while she stayed in Kyoto to resolve disputes within the family.

Kotaro Hashimoto was indeed exhausted.

Before he could return to Yokohama, he fell ill.

At this time, the problems faced by the Iwasaki family were much more severe than those of the Hashimoto family.

After the police intervened, it was soon discovered that all the funds in Iwasaki's private account had been transferred to an overseas bank personal account linked to the intelligence agencies of another country.

Immediately, the Intelligence Headquarters intervened in the investigation.

Although I was unable to obtain information about my personal account, the whereabouts of the money were very similar to the huge amount of money that Kawasaki Oka had remitted a few days ago, and the banks where the accounts were opened were all in Timor-Leste, all of which were small private banks.

As soon as Yasutaro Hashimoto and Sakura Ogata left, the local head of the Intelligence Headquarters paid a visit to Shintaro Iwasaki.

Because Iwasaki Eiichi was bedridden, he could only make an appointment to meet Iwasaki Shintaro.

In the face of intelligence security personnel, Iwasaki Shintaro couldn't explain why this huge amount of money had disappeared, because just last night, the bodyguard he sent arrived one step late, and Kobe Sahi's residence was already empty, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.

Saki Kobe fled, and Shintaro Iwasaki immediately concluded that the matter must have something to do with her.

The question is, where can this go?

Although Shintaro Iwasaki is very disgusted with this woman who fascinates his father and even sees her as a threat, Shintaro Iwasaki also knows something about this woman.

Aside from the tricks to confuse the old man, Kobe Sahi didn't have much ability, let alone much boldness.

If she could be a little stronger, the Iwasaki family would have been turned upside down.

stole more than $700 million at once, does she have the guts and means?

Someone must be secretly assisting her!

It's just that it's impossible for Shintaro Iwasaki to tell these speculations to intelligence security personnel, because the relationship between Saki Kobe and Eiichi Iwasaki must never be made public. If the outside world knows that Eiichi Iwasaki has two illegitimate children, not only the Iwasaki family will lose face, but Shintaro Iwasaki will also be affected.

If nothing else, at least the half-brother who is more than thirty years younger than him will take a lot of the family property.

Iwasaki Shintaro did not tell the truth, nor did the local head of the Intelligence Headquarters tell the truth, and did not tell Iwasaki Shintaro about the whereabouts of the funds, especially those related to the intelligence agencies of other countries.

It is also easy to understand that the Iwasaki family is one of the most powerful families in Yumoto, and its influence far exceeds that of the Kawasaki family.

Iwasaki Eiichi was still lying in the hospital bed, and he did not suddenly disappear like Kawasaki Okami, so until the truth was discovered, the intelligence agencies did not dare to speculate, let alone let the Iwasaki family know.

Not guessing is not the same as not investigating.

More than 700 million dollars, which is not a small amount of money anywhere.

The problem is, it's not that easy to investigate.

What happened to Kawasaki Oka last time was thanks to the help of the CIA. The Iwasaki family was involved, and if the CIA knew about it, not only would the intelligence headquarters lose face, but the prime minister would not be able to step down.

After receiving the report from the local authorities, Damu Ronggu was very embarrassed.

At this point, all his energy was on the salvaged computer.

Technicians have recovered some of the footage taken by the surveillance system, and it is almost certain that the attack on the freighter was indeed a patrol boat of the Metropolitan Police Department. It's just that the gunboat is far enough away from the freighter that it is temporarily impossible to identify the people on the gunboat. It's just that the big explosion that sent the freighter to the bottom of the sea was definitely not the work of the machine gun on the gunboat.

There must be another reason!

When the freighter was shelled, another force attacked the freighter.

It won't be missiles, because no one will be able to sink a freighter with missiles here.

A torpedo from a submarine, or a bomb planted by a frogman?

Oki Ronggu thinks that the latter may have a greater surname.

The average water depth of Ise Bay is less than fifty meters, which is not suitable for large submarine activities, and only small submarines can enter and exit. Among the neighboring countries, only North Korea has small submarines.

Can a North Korean submarine enter Ise Bay and sink a freighter?

If North Korea had this ability, South Korea would have been a thing of the past!

What's more, at the time of the incident, the Maritime Self-Defense Force had already blocked the entire Ise Bay in the south, and no suspicious underwater objects were detected entering or leaving.

Definitely not a submarine did it.

If the frogman had done it, the frogman must have been on that gunboat before the bomb was planted.

In this way, the problem is back to square one.

Only by identifying those on the gunboat can we know who blew up and sank the freighter.

To this end, Daiki Ronggu invited the best image processing experts to process the recovered image signals.

Because the picture was too blurry and the resolution of the surveillance camera was not very high, the image processing experts had to rewrite the program, which took a lot of time.

Unable to deal with anything else, he sent the theft of Eiichi Iwasaki's private account back to the local police station, and asked the police to intervene with Interpol, who came forward to ask the Timorese authorities for information about the bank, so that the bank could provide relevant information.

In Da Mu Ronggu's opinion, this may be just an ordinary theft.

The thieves transferred the funds to a private bank in Timor-Leste by coincidence and had nothing to do with Kawasaki Okamotsu. After all, Timor-Leste is the Cayman Islands in Southeast Asia, with thousands of private banks and almost no financial regulatory measures, and has long been a gathering place for gray funds from neighboring countries.

The guy who had the ability to steal $700 million from Eiichi Iwasaki's private account naturally had the ability to buy off a small bank.

Besides, Eiichi Iwasaki is still in Nagasaki, and if he really wants to involve the intelligence agencies of other countries, it is not too late to trouble him after getting conclusive evidence.

The problem that Shintaro Iwasaki is facing is not so simple.

For the deep-pocketed Iwasaki family, $700 million is really nothing. Iwasaki Eiichi deposited the money in a private account, which must have been prepared for the three of Kobe Sahi's mother and son.

After calming down, Shintaro Iwasaki even thought that this was an arrangement made by Eiichi Iwasaki.

Everyone knows that as long as Shintaro Iwasaki is on the throne, the three of Kobe Sahi's mother and son will definitely not end well. Being expelled from the Iwasaki family is just a trivial matter, and if Iwasaki Shintaro is a little more ruthless, he will cut down the grass and eradicate the root cause to prevent future troubles. In order to let the three of Kobe Sahi's mother and son live safely, Eiichi Iwasaki prepared the money and made arrangements for the aftermath. If something happens to him, Kobe Sashi takes the money and leaves with his children.

Only in this way can we explain why the money disappeared and why Sahi Kobe suddenly disappeared.

Since it's gone, it's gone.

Anyway, Eiichi Iwasaki is still alive, and Shintaro Iwasaki doesn't dare to act recklessly.

Kobe Sahiken left Sahiken with his children, even if he took $700 million, it was an acceptable result for Iwasaki Shintaro.

It's better than staying and fighting with him for power.

It's also a good deal to buy a quiet place with $700 million.

The problem is that the real trouble has little to do with the $700 million.

Iwasaki Eiichi sold the shares of the consortium, not only did he not inform the family members, but also did not Kochi "Jinyaohui". However, according to the rules he set back then, members of the "Jinyao Club" must pass a collective vote before selling their shares, and they cannot transfer their shares to outsiders without authorization.

The main purpose of this is to prevent the consortium from being controlled by other countries.

Although the Hashimoto family and the Ogata family are not considered to be forces in other countries, and Iwasaki Eiichi is very influential and can get the majority support in the "Golden Shine Society", this kind of practice of cutting first and then playing later not only backtracks, but also does not give face to other members, which makes the Iwasaki family blamed.

On the night Iwasaki Eii fell ill, he was discussing the matter with the members of the "Golden Shine Club".

It's called "discussion", but it's actually a pressure on other members to agree with his approach and accept a new consortium member.

If Eiichi Iwasaki hadn't suddenly recovered from his illness, this matter might have passed. In any case, his position in the "Golden Glory Club" is irreplaceable, and even if the other members are dissatisfied, they will not turn their faces against the Iwasaki family for a new member who only holds one percent of the shares.

It's a pity that before things were settled, Eiichi Iwasaki fell.

It's a good thing that Shintaro Iwasaki is temporarily in power, and it is impossible to make the other members of the consortium acquiesce to a fait accompli like he did.

Besides, the other members of the consortium will not miss the opportunity to strike at the Iwasaki family.

The agreement between the Iwasaki family and the "Hashimoto-Ogata Industrial Group" came into effect, but it does not mean that Kotaro Hashimoto will be able to enter the "Golden Shine Club". According to the rules of the foundation, if the proposal for new members is rejected, the Iwasaki family must bear all the consequences alone.

To put it bluntly, Shintaro Iwasaki must come forward to tear up the agreement.

Unilaterally tearing up the equity transfer agreement that already has the surname of the contract, the Iwasaki family must not only return the full amount, but also pay double compensation in accordance with the compensation provisions in the additional terms of the agreement!

In other words, the Iwasaki family will lose $30 billion as a result, and they will have to give it all cash.

Is three billion dollars a lot?

For the Iwasaki family, which has trillions of dollars in total assets, it is really not much.

The problem is, $30 billion in cash is too much.

The Iwasaki family's assets are mostly fixed investments, bonds and stocks, and there is not much liquidity, and no large family will hold a large amount of cash during a period of sharp currency depreciation.

If they really want to lose so much money, the Iwasaki family will definitely be greatly damaged, and even collapse.

Shintaro Iwasaki won't let that happen.

That night, he brought in several close members of the consortium and asked them for help.
