When Li Guangzhi and Xiao Ji hurried back to the store, Li Xiaomu was anxiously turning in circles there like a donkey pulling a mill in the store.

Seeing Li Guangzhi push the door in, he immediately took two steps in front of Li Guangzhi as if he had seen a savior, grabbed his arm and said eagerly: "Guangzhi, you are finally back!" Xiao Ji has already told you, what do you think we should do about this? ”

Li Guangzhi broke free of his arm from his hand, and then patted him on the shoulder as if comforting, and said in a calm tone: "Lao Li, don't worry. People have already come to the door anyway, so it's useless for us to be in a hurry. ”

"That's an invitation they sent, right? Show me what is written. He didn't rush to answer Li Xiaomu's question, but pointed to a black gilded invitation on the small round table with a relaxed expression, and said to Guo Zi, who was standing at the table at this time.

Taking the invitation from Guo Zi's hand, Li Guangzhi carefully looked at the diamond-shaped logo of the golden trident printed on the cover, and said a few times in his mouth:

"It's a post from the Yamaguchi-gumi, tsk, this emblem is really exquisite."

Although Li Guangzhi was joking, it was just to appease the tension of the other people in the room. In fact, he himself was still a little uneasy in his heart. After all, this is a post from Japan's No. 1 gang.

He opened the invitation and read the contents of it, and after muttering for a while, he said to Li Xiaomu: "Lao Li, this is where you know the most about these gangs in Kabukicho Street. Do you know exactly what the Inoue group is? ”

"Also, do you have any clue why they suddenly thought of inviting us to dinner? In addition, what is the address written on this invitation, the Katsushin Kaikan, and where is it exactly? You know what? ”

Although Li Guangzhi tried his best to maintain a calm tone when he asked, these questions were asked by him in such a series of questions, but they also inadvertently exposed his inner tension.

Li Xiaomu was stunned for a moment, and replied with a wry smile: "Brother Guangzhi, you also overestimate me. The forces of the Yamaguchi-gumi have always kept a low profile in Kabukicho Street, so how could someone of my status know about them? ”

"But I do know where the Katsushin Kaikan is, Kabukicho Street 2-chome, near Okubo Hospital, there is a Japanese garden with a large area, and the sign hanging outside is the name."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh and said, "As for why they invited us to dinner. I see, it's nothing more than our store, or the magazine you got now is being taken by these guys. As for whether they want to buy it directly or forcibly buy shares, we can only look at what they say at the dinner table later. ”

Li Xiaomu's tone revealed a sense of discouragement. Li Guangzhi noticed that the expressions on the faces of the other people in the room changed slightly after hearing his words.

"Lao Li, you're a little too worried." Li Guangzhi deliberately comforted Li Xiaomu loudly: "Even if the Yamaguchi Group takes a fancy to our business, what about it? Whether they want to buy or buy shares, they have to follow the formal business route. ”

"Our store is a legitimate business, and it has been filed with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. What's more, Lao Li, didn't you say that the Yamaguchi-gumi don't have much power in Tokyo. I think it's very unlikely that they'll want to force it out. ”

"Brother Guangzhi, even if they come hard, we won't be afraid!" At this time, Xiao Zhao, who Sun Dayong brought from Nu Luo Quan, said loudly with a rebellious face beside him:

"Inagawa Society, Sumiyoshi Society is much more awesome than Yamaguchi-gumi in Tokyo, and we can't still have a tie with them! Brother Guangzhi, I'm going to go to Brother Dayong and ask him to call back Luo Quan. If the Inoue group really dares to play black, let's do it."

"Call someone, call someone!" Li Guangzhi interrupted him angrily: "I asked Dayong to take you out to make money, not to fight with the gang!" ”

He walked up to Xiao Zhao, grabbed his shoulders and told him very seriously: "You will go and find Dayong back later, tell him that I confessed, and tell him not to follow us too, but to stay in the store and guard." If Lao Li and I don't come back after 12 o'clock, let him contact Sato Criminal immediately. Remember? ”

At this time, he felt more and more that there was no disadvantage of the popularity of mobile phones in this era. At this time, if some words can be explained directly to Sun Dayong over the phone, it will definitely be much more reassuring.

Li Xiaomu heard his words on the side, and repeated excitedly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Hey, yes, yes! Go find Sato! Let Dayong hurry up and find Sato! ”

Li Guangzhi couldn't see his panicked look. After coughing heavily, he said to Li Xiaomu: "Lao Li, you don't need to be nervous like this. I asked Dayong to go to Sato Criminal, but I was just afraid that something would happen. ”

"The people of the Yamaguchi-gumi are not stupid, even if they don't talk about it at dinner later, they won't be able to do anything to us today! Don't you still understand this truth? ”

"Alright, alright! Everybody! He clapped his hands and said to the people in the room: "Brother Li and I are going out to eat tonight, and the business of the store will be entrusted to everyone." Everyone still comes as usual, just do their own things with peace of mind. The rest is nothing to worry about! ”

After speaking, he pulled Li Xiaomu out of the door, and said as he walked: "Lao Li, don't add tension to everyone here." Let's take a walk, the invitation said that people will arrange a car to pick us up at seven o'clock. It's not a few minutes until seven o'clock, so you and I might as well go outside and smoke a cigarette and wait. ”

At seven o'clock, a black Mercedes-Benz 500SE sedan stopped at the door of Li Guangzhi's store on time.

After the car stopped, a short-haired middle-aged man in a black suit got out of the passenger seat. Just as he was getting dressed and was about to open the curtain and walk into the store, when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Guangzhi and Li Xiaomu who were standing on the side of the store door and smoking.

The middle-aged man froze slightly, and after looking at the faces of the two of them, he turned around and walked in front of Li Guangzhi and the others, bent down slightly and bowed: "The two must be Li Sang and Li Sang, good evening." The contemptible person is Hisao Takano of the Inoue Group, who was ordered by the team leader to pick up the three of them to the banquet. I don't know where another Sun Dayong and Sun Jun are now, do you need us to wait for him? ”

"Good evening, Koya-san. Da Yongjun can't be contacted outside because of people, so only me and Li Jun participated in the invitation of your group today, I'm very sorry! Li Guangzhi bowed in return while looking at the gangster man from the Inoue Group.

This middle-aged man is not much different from an ordinary office worker in terms of appearance and dress. His stature is not tall, and his words and deeds are very polite. However, standing in front of him, Li Guangzhi had a faint sense of danger approaching.

This feeling comes from the momentum that emanates from the man in front of him. This fierce and fierce lone wolf-like momentum cannot be concealed by the designer suit he wears on the outside of his body and the secular etiquette he shows.

This man is in the Inoue group, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be just a low-level minion who is specifically responsible for picking up and dropping off guests. After getting into the car, Li Guangzhi judged it in his heart.

This should be good news. Since the Inoue group dispatched such a level of characters to greet themselves and others, at least it shows that they are more cautious in their attitude.

On the flip side, though, it could be worse news. After all, if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something. Since the Inoue group made the scene so grand, I am afraid that the demands they put forward at the dinner later will be so "grand" that Li Guangzhi and the others can't afford it.

Located in Kabukicho Street 2-chome, the Katsushin Kaikan is not too far from Li Guangzhi's store. After about a quarter of an hour, the Mercedes stopped in front of a vaulted doorway.

After the three got out of the car, Li Guangzhi and the two followed Hisao Takano towards the gate. As soon as I entered the pavilion, the closed wooden door was opened from the inside. Two women in plain kimonos with lanterns are standing behind the door with their heads bowed.

Inside the gate is a garden-like garden that looks like a large area. Facing the gate is a rockery waterfall composed of falling stones and carp stones, which divides the stone path after entering the gate into two cobblestone paths that extend out on the left and right.

Two women in kimono walked in front with small steps in a deferential manner, leading the three of them onto the path on the left.

Walking along the path, Li Guangzhi looked left and right at his surroundings. Judging from the stone lanterns of various shapes that stand a short distance from the roadside, and the trees and rocks in the distance, it is a well-designed Japanese-style garden.

It's just that with Li Guangzhi's current state of mind, coupled with this dim light, not only can he not appreciate the subtlety of this garden, but the surrounding dark trees, mountains and rocks make him feel that he is in a horror movie.

The three of them walked around the two women leading the way for about five minutes, and finally a small two-story wooden building in the style of the Edo period appeared in front of them. Coming out of the quiet and dark path, and being reflected on his body by the light reflected in the small building, Li Guangzhi felt that his mood was suddenly much more relaxed.
