Chapter Thirty-Eight: Darkness Blending
"I feel sorry for Ling Zun's matter. It was really too sudden. ”
In the face of Furukawa Masa's polite words, Heiji Yamaguchi was very indifferent, "Uncle, my father often told me when he was alive that if he is not there one day, I wonder if you will support me as much as you support him." ”
Seeing that he didn't seem very sad about his father's death, Furukawa was a little surprised, but was quickly overwhelmed by his straight words. Old Yamaguchi's bones are not cold, he has already begun to worry about the transfer of power, but this is indeed the purpose of Furukawa Masato to talk to him, but he bypassed the foreplay very happily, "Heiji, I watched you grow up, and I am also your father's good brother for many years, the Shinguchi group has poured your father's hard work, and the future of the community is his last wish, and I, as a brother, must of course fulfill his last wish." ”
He said this ambiguously, and did not say that he would support Heiji Yamaguchi, but said that he would continue to support Shinguchigumi. However, the successor of the president of Shinguchi-gumi, as can be seen from his words, will not necessarily be Heiji Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi heard this, and sneered slightly, "Uncle, it seems that you don't have much confidence in me. ”
Furukawa immediately smiled and said, "No, no. How could I not believe you? But I've heard that there are a lot of people in the Shinguchi-gumi who support Watanabe, so I'm really worried about you. ”
"Heh, Watanabe Takeshi, an orphan picked up by his father, what qualifications does he have to fight with me. ”
His words were more like he said to Furukawa Masa, Furukawa Masa's face immediately froze, and Furukawa Minako on the side smiled awkwardly and said, "Heiji, father and I have always supported you, otherwise you wouldn't have married me to you." ”
Her words were a reminder to him that if her father had never thought that he would be the next heir, he would not have married her to him to maintain the relationship between the Furukawa and Shinguchi.
But Heiji Yamaguchi didn't appreciate it, "Yes? I've heard rumors that my uncle is planning to cancel the engagement. But it's a pity, Watanabe has a wife, and he is very affectionate, and your uncle may not have a chance to pass on his daughter to him. ”
Furukawa hurriedly waved his hand, "These are all rumors, Heiji, you can't be gullible!"
"Really?" he raised his eyebrows, holding up the glass in his hand.
Furukawa thought that he was going to give himself a step, and a glass of wine was an apology, so he should skip it, so he also picked up the wine glass, but he didn't expect him to take a sip by himself, and Furukawa had to take a sip in embarrassment when he saw this.
"Uncle, I hope you can remember who has always been in charge of the business in Bar Street in Minato. ”
This was simply a threat to Furukawa Masa, but he was not annoyed at all, but nodded a little humbly, "Yes, yes, I know, you are responsible for Heiji." You can rest assured, you inherit the position of Lingzun, and our Furukawa Group will definitely support it!"
Minako on the side was very dissatisfied with her father's cowardice, but the matter between men has never been something she can intervene in, so she has to bow her head a little angrily and remain silent.
In the face of Furukawa Masa's statement, Yamaguchi did not appreciate it so much, and still put on an arrogant look.
The atmosphere of the three people was a little awkward, and it was the elders who always ended the conversation in the conversation, but this Furukawa Masa, as an elder, seemed very majestic, and saw that Yamaguchi didn't speak, so he had to accompany him to be silent.
At this time, the person who suddenly came to talk to him rescued him, "President Furukawa, it's really not easy to see you. ”
As soon as Furukawa turned around, he saw that it was Kataoka Shota, and quickly stood up and bowed and smiled, "Ouch, how can the younger generation stand your honorifics, and the settlement is that the family has to be respectful when he sees you!"
The ninety-year-old man smiled and said, "Ah Zheng, you have been the president for so many years, but you are getting busier and busier, and you don't come to see me, an old man." I had to come to you today with a thick old face. ”
"No, no, no, it's the rude of the juniors, it's the rude of the juniors. ”
"I heard that your Furukawa Group is planning to invest in movies recently? It just so happens that I have some juniors, I wonder if President Furukawa is interested in promoting them?"
"Yes, yes! The old gentleman recommended them are naturally elites, and of course I am willing to do so. As he spoke, Furukawa glanced at Heiji Yamaguchi, and there was some pleading in his eyes.
This means obviously, when the elders have private meetings, the juniors should avoid them, and it would be really rude to let the elders get up and talk in a different place.
Although Yamaguchi is very disdainful of Furukawa Masa, and does not regard him as an elder at all, he still has to give this little face in front of outsiders, not to mention that this outsider is not small.
Although their Shinguchi-gumi business has little to do with the entertainment industry, in this society, status is determined by assets, and a rich man like Kataoka is a big man wherever he goes.
"Then we're gone. Yamaguchi said casually, got up and left, followed by Minako.
Away from Furukawa and them, Yamaguchi leaned against a pillar in the hall and lit a cigarette.
Seeing that he was a little cold about herself, Minako did not feel the slightest discomfort, but was very accustomed to it, she walked up to him, "Thank you, in the end, I still gave my father a little face." ”
Although it was a thank you, there was no trace of gratitude, and there was cynicism in the words, and Yamaguchi seemed to be used to it, "You and I both know that it's not a rumor at all." Anyway, the two of us are just tools used by our parents to communicate our feelings, and now that the old man is gone, I can understand if you want to change your backer. ”
"I don't know what my father thinks, and I don't want to defend him. But you also have to have a little confidence in yourself, although I don't know much about your group, but I know that it has been the practice since ancient times that the son inherits the father's business. Uncle Yamaguchi used to talk to me about you when he was alive, and he always had high expectations for you. ”
The corners of Yamaguchi's mouth trembled unnaturally, and his tone trembled a little, "Really?"
Minako didn't notice his emotional changes and continued, "That's right. And when he was with my father, he often begged my father to take care of you, so you don't have to worry, our father and daughter have always supported you behind you. ”
Yamaguchi looked at the woman in front of him, in this venue, most of the women were wearing kimonos, only she was still wearing a plain pale pink dress, highlighting her difference everywhere, but it was such a woman he didn't love at all, and he didn't love him at all, and he still chose to support himself at such a moment.
He originally thought that after his father's death, the Furukawa Gumi, who had always been good friends with his father, would break off relations with the Shinguchi-gumi, and even turn to support his nemesis, Watanabe.
It seems that he underestimated them, and he underestimated himself.
"Ping Er...... My father told me to come home with you tonight. She said this with a visibly flushed blush, "He asked me to discuss it with you, and he wants the cooperation between the two of us to remain the same." ”
Yamaguchi said knowingly, "Your dad is trading his daughter's body with me?"
Minako didn't like this wording very much, and blushed and defended, "We're almost husband and wife, and it's too much to say this kind of thing!"
How could he not know that Furukawa was thinking about that old guy, what the old thing was most afraid of was that after he came to power, he would increase their expenses, or even cut off business contact with them, which would be a big loss for them. He threw away the cigarette butt, walked up to her, pinched her chin, and said softly, "Furukawa, it's okay for me to have sex with you, but you're really not my type." ”
Minako's eyes darkened, which was a great insult to any woman, and as her face became gloomy, her tone became cold, "Do you like that kind of cute and weak woman, like the one you assaulted in the Shinjuku hospital some time ago?"
"You know a lot. Yamaguchi sneered and said, without the slightest emotion, "What about you? You like that kind of well-behaved and sunny little brother, right? Like the kind of man in the cowherd shop you often go to?"
"Smack!" Minako, who was furious, reacted instantly after sensing the pain in her hand, looking at him in a bit of panic.
Sure enough, Yamaguchi, who was slapped in the face, didn't let her go, raised his hand to fight, but was stopped by the other hand, he looked at the man who suddenly appeared in shock, a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, "Who are you?
Nie Jianfeng understood this sentence in Japanese, and replied, "I just want to ask this lady to do a dance, my name is Kataoka Kaede." ”
It turned out to be from the Kataoka family, and Yamaguchi smiled and lowered his hand, "Then I wish you all a good time." ”
Minako was frightened just now, and just as she wanted to leave here, she put her hand on Nie Jianfeng's hand without hesitation and followed him to the dance floor.
Seeing them leave, Yamaguchi sneered twice, feeling that it was much cleaner at this time, and lit another cigarette.
"Borrow a fire. ”
After Yamaguchi finished lighting the cigarette, he subconsciously handed over the lighter, and then found out who it was, but when he took the lighter, he did not shrink his hand.
"My stuff, you don't take it that easily. Yamaguchi said coldly.
Watanabe was stunned for a moment, snatched it, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and handed it back to him, "Just borrow it, don't be so stingy." ”
Yamaguchi turned his head away, didn't look at the lighter, and said with a sneer, "What I can't keep, even if you give it back to me, I'm not rare." ”
"Isn't it just a lighter, as for being so serious?" Watanabe said with a smile, putting his lighter in his pocket, "Then I'll thank the young master." ”
Yamaguchi snorted coldly, "I'll give you what I don't lack." But the only thing I have, you can't take away. ”
"The only one?" Watanabe spat out a smoke ring and approached him, "But the rarer the thing, the more I like it, brother, I'm not a gentleman, I will win people's love, don't blame me when the time comes." ”
Yamaguchi stared at his eyes tightly, and a wave of killing intent rose, "If you have the ability, come and take it." ”
"Now that you're ready, you're welcome. Watanabe leaned into his ear and whispered, "I've liked the Kai Tiger Armor of Takeda Shingen in your house for a long time, but it's the only one you have, and I've always been embarrassed to ask you." ”
Yamaguchi took a step back, distanced himself from him, and glared at Watanabe, who was smiling hippie.
Yamaguchi has always talked about the succession of the president, and Watanabe, a cynical guy, I don't know if it was deliberate, or I didn't hear it at all, at this time it actually pulled on the antique armor of his house, and he was angry for a while.
Watanabe was about to say something, but suddenly a person bumped into him, accompanied by a very pretentious "Oops!".
Seeing this girl who came out of nowhere and crashed into his arms, Watanabe helped her up with a smile and a smile, and when he saw that it was a beautiful girl in a kimono, he asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
The girl touched her forehead a little contrivedly, "It's nothing, suddenly a little dizzy, embarrassed." ”
Watanabe smiled slightly, and suddenly hugged her thin waist, she reacted a lot for a moment and wanted to break free, but she regained her weakness in less than a second, "Sir?"
Seeing them like this, Yamaguchi shook his head speechlessly and walked away.
Watching Yamaguchi leave, the corners of the girl's mouth curled up as if she had succeeded, but after looking at Watanabe with a meaningful look, she left to hide, "Sir, don't be like this, please let me go." ”
Watanabe let go of her and asked, "What's your name?"
"Kataoka Yanko. Ji Keyan tried her best to pretend to be a weak woman who couldn't help but be weak, and now that her goal has been achieved, she just wants to leave as soon as possible, "I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm sorry, I'm leaving." ”
"Wait. Watanabe pulled Ji Keyan, who was about to leave, and suddenly his face came up, and the two were very close, so close that they could kiss each other as long as they stretched their heads slightly, "Your acting skills are too fake, deliberately approaching me, do you think I can't see it?"
Ji Keyan wanted to push him away, but he hugged him tightly, so he had to continue to pretend, "This gentleman, what are you talking about? Please let me go." ”
Watanabe smiled, and as soon as he raised his hand, something appeared on his right hand, "Is this yours?"
Ji Keyan looked at it and found that what he was holding in his hand was the thunder guard that Shiratori Ling had picked for her when she was in Sensoji Temple, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, "Give me back!"
This guard she has been keeping close to her, how did he get it?!
Watanabe withdrew his hand, causing her to pounce.
At this time, the lights suddenly dimmed, and on the stage directly north of the hall, Kenjiro Toyama stepped up to the stage and said into the microphone, "Thank you for coming to Inuko's wedding......
This little episode only briefly diverted the attention of the two people, and Ji Keyan quickly continued to attack, "Return me quickly!"
Watanabe was about to say something, when suddenly a deafening gunshot broke the silence of the entire venue.
As Kenjiro Toyama fell on the stage, all the guests stared at a man in a black hoodie on the side of the stage in amazement.
The moment Ji Keyan saw his face, he walked out of Watanabe's arms in disbelief and muttered, "Bai ...... White horse?"
