When Li Guangzhi walked out of the gate of the Katsushin Hall after Hisao Takano who saw off the guests, the time was close to midnight.

Stimulated by the chill outside the house on a winter night, his mind was clear at this time. On the way out of the courtyard, he had been recalling and thinking about the conversation between Toshihiko Inoue and him in the past three hours or so.

After the two of them went out of the gate, before Hisao Takano beckoned the driver to drive over, five or six figures rushed out of an alley across the street, and the leader was Sun Dayong.

Seeing this, Li Guangzhi hurriedly greeted him. Walking up to Sun Dayong, he said half-gratified and half-complaining: "Didn't I specifically tell you not to come over, why did you kid still run over?" And brought such a group of brothers! ”

Sun Dayong smiled, his lips trembling slightly. He said with a white breath: "Hehe, leave Brother Guangzhi here alone, I can't stay in the store, it's better to come here and wait, and feel a little more steady." ”

He paused, raised his eyes to look at Hisao Takano behind Li Guangzhi, lowered his voice a little more and asked, "How is it?" Brother Guangzhi, what happened to these people who didn't give you away, right? ”

Li Guangzhi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm fine, you can rest assured." Then he said, "Wait for me, I'll go say goodbye to my master, and then we'll go home!" ”

He walked back to Hisao Takano, bowed slightly, and said, "Takano-san, since my companion has come to pick me up, I don't think you need to trouble you to send me again." ”

He paused for a moment, and then spoke: "Please tell the leader of the Inoue team, and say that the contemptible person is very grateful for his hospitality tonight." I'll definitely think about it carefully when I go back. ”

Hisao Takano bent down and saluted back, then raised his head and looked at Li Guangzhi very seriously, and replied, "Li Sang's words, I will tell the team leader." ”

He glanced at Sun Dayong, then returned his gaze to Li Guangzhi, and said with a rare smile on his face: "Li Sang, the one who came to pick you up should be Sun Dayong and Sun Jun, right?" Sure enough, he is a good companion who has the courage to speak of affection! ”

"Li Sang, your appearance tonight is enough to prove that you are a man of great courage. Personally, I really hope to be a companion to a man like the two of you, so please Li Sang, you must carefully consider the mention of our team leader, please! ”

When Li Guangzhi heard this, he looked at this man who had always been silent with some surprise, and smiled helplessly: "Hey, it's really surprising to be able to get your praise from Gao Yesan." Well, don't worry, I'll take your word for it. Now, I'll take my leave! ”

After bowing slightly to Hisao Takano, he turned around and walked towards Sun Dayong's group

After a group of people walked out for a distance, Li Guangzhi noticed that Sun Dayong and the five young people who came with him were all so cold that their lips were black, and they all shrunk their shoulders and necks when they walked. He said to everyone apologetically:

"It's hard work tonight, everyone's got enough of the cold, right? Later, I invite everyone to have a hot pot, have a drink to warm up, and express my gratitude! ”

Sun Dayong said on the side: "Hehe, Brother Guangzhi, I don't think we should stay for a while, let's go find a restaurant now." If we don't drink some hot food, I'm afraid we won't be able to walk home. Besides, what is going on tonight, you should quickly find a place to sit down and tell me. My heart is still half-hanging! ”

"Okay, then let's see which store along the way hasn't closed. If it's all closed, go to the late-night cafeteria. Li Guangzhi replied happily.

After walking for about 300 meters, the group finally saw a restaurant on the side of the road with the lights on and the warm curtain hanging at the door. Several people did not hesitate, and rushed in with great strides.

The owner and his wife suddenly saw a group of young strong men, several of whom still had bats in their hands, rushing into the door in such a swarm, and immediately hid behind the counter in fright and shivered, shouting "Smith Marseille, Lucicus by night". Li Guangzhi stepped forward to appease them for a long time before they believed that they were really just customers who came to eat.

Sun Dayong arranged five of his men at a table near the door and told them to order whatever they wanted. Then he and Li Guangzhi chose a table in the corner and sat down.

After the hot pot and soju were served on the table, Sun Dayong picked up the hot wine jug, poured himself two glasses in a row and poured them down. He had been standing in the snow for more than three hours tonight, and he felt like his stomach was about to freeze into ice ballast. After drinking these two cups of hot wine, I finally had a hint of warmth in my stomach.

He took a beef ball from the hot pot that had not yet boiled and put it in his mouth, and asked vaguely while chewing, "Brother Guangzhi, hurry up and tell me, what did the people from the Yamaguchi-gumi talk to you about tonight?" Lao Li's guy went back early, but he didn't know anything when asked. It didn't kill me! ”

He put down his chopsticks, poured another glass of wine, and then said, "Which way of wealth does the Yamaguchi-gumi fancy us?" Is it our shop? Or that magazine? ”

Li Guangzhi held the wine glass, shook his head with a helpless wry smile and said, "Neither." People are interested in you and me, as well as Nu Luoquan, who is making up our minds. ”

"What?" Sun Dayong asked in a loud voice in surprise, and then immediately came to his senses, lowered his voice and said, "What does the Yamaguchi Group mean by taking a fancy to the two of us?" Are you trying to pull us in? Also, how could it be related to Nu Luo Quan again? I remember that we didn't have a few interactions with the Yamaguchi-gumi. ”

Li Guangzhi retold to Sun Dayong some of what Inoue Toshihiko said tonight, including that he has been under the attention of Inoue's group since he was released from prison, that he and his plan to take over Nu Luoquan have long been seen through, and that Inoue Toshihiko told about the contradictions between the Japanese Kanto and Kansai underworld forces, and so on.

In the end, he concluded: "Dayong, according to my analysis, I think this Yamaguchi group should have been eyeing Nu Luoquan for a long time. Because of the treaty, they can't take the initiative to enter Tokyo. However, the Yamaguchi-gumi must be reluctant to use this piece of fat in Tokyo, so they want to develop an ally in Tokyo as a springboard so that their own forces can infiltrate. ”

"It's just that although the current Nu Luo Quan is qualified appropriately, there are some mud in terms of strength that can't support the wall, and it may not meet their requirements. And at this time, the two of us are just making a plan to strengthen Nu Luo Quan, so the two of us will naturally be taken by them. ”

Sun Dayong frowned and pondered for a while, and then said to Li Guangzhi: "The idea of the Yamaguchi Group is quite good. But why should we listen to them? The Yamaguchi-gumi don't have much power in Tokyo, and if you really want to use force, it's not certain who will win and who will lose. ”

"The Yamaguchi-gumi can't do it themselves, but they can't stand it with someone else doing it for them." Li Guangzhi told Sun Dayong about the movements of the Inagawa Society and the Far East Society provided by Inoue Toshihiko, and then said:

"They don't do it themselves, but they can use it to coerce us. According to Inoue's meaning, if we don't agree to form an alliance, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to keep this store now. Moreover, it is estimated that in the future, we should not think about developing in the industry of customs and intelligence. ”

Sun Dayong also knew in his heart that if big forces like the Inagawa Society and the Far Eastern Society really wanted to drive out himself and others in Kabukicho Street, then they would not be able to resist no matter what. Therefore, he did not question the authenticity of the news relayed by Li Guangzhi, but frowned and fell into bitter contemplation.

After about half a cigarette, he raised his head to look at Li Guangzhi and asked in a muffled voice, "This thing seems to be really troublesome, I can't think of anything else." Brother Guangzhi, you have always had the most ideas, what do you say we should do? ”

"What can I do about this kind of thing?" Li Guangzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The shape is stronger than people, and what is now in front of us is two ways to go." ”

"The first is to hide. We have made a lot of money by opening the store for more than a month, so we just took this money and left. Tokyo can't stay anymore, and there are other big cities in Japan to stay in. And, if it doesn't work out, it's a big deal that you can go back to China with me. We can't afford to provoke these big forces, but at least we can afford to hide. ”

"Although this road is a little aggrieved, it is the safest road. As long as we admit to leaving, there will be no need for them to kill us. Moreover, we don't care about Luo Quan's business, and the Yamaguchi-gumi naturally have no interest in the two of us. ”

When he said this, the feelings in Li Guangzhi's heart were very depressed. Although he has never regarded the business of customs and intelligence as his main business in the future. However, after all, this is the first career he created after being reborn, and he naturally doesn't want to give up so easily.

Moreover, according to his original plan, he first used the power of the police to protect himself, and after Sun Dayong integrated the forces of Nu Luo Quan, he would then incorporate the Northeast Gang and some other small forces in Kabukicho Street, which was not completely impossible to compete with the likes of the Far Eastern Society.

However, now there is suddenly a spoiler like the Yamaguchi-gumi in the middle. If the forces of the Yamaguchi-gumi were to help the trouble, as long as there was a slight delay in time, the chances of his plan succeeding would be almost none. This is what makes him most depressed now.

Sun Dayong listened to the first way he said, drank a few glasses of wine in a bit of a vent, and then asked in a dumb voice: "Brother Guangzhi, the road you said is indeed safe, but let me admit it like this, I am really a little unwilling." Tell me, what is the second path you want, and is there any way through? ”
