Three slaps rang out, instantly waking Kato Masakazu from his stupor.
Touching his rapidly swelling face, Kato Masakazu glared at Xiao Yun, who sat across from him with a smug grin. Anger surged within him; as the Deputy Director of City Hall, when had he ever been slapped like this?
The slap had been so hard that half of his face was swollen like a bun.
"Baka, how dare you hit me?" Kato Masakazu shouted furiously.
In the face of Kato Masakazu's rage, Xiao Yun remained calm and replied with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I slapped you for your own good. You were so drunk that I was afraid you might never wake up!"
Being slapped for no reason and then told it was for his own good made Kato Masakazu's face turn purple with anger. Did Xiao Yun think he was dealing with a three-year-old?
Kato Masakazu fumed, "You little brat, there must be something wrong with your alcohol. How could a mere bottle of white wine get me drunk?"
Xiao Yun smiled slightly and said, "Brother-in-law, the wine is fine; I just added a little hallucinogen to it!"
What did he mean by that?
Hearing that Xiao Yun had put a hallucinogen in his drink, Kato Masakazu's eyes widened in shock. He exclaimed, "What... what do you want to do?"
"Nothing much. I just want Deputy Director Kato to tell me some secrets about you!" As he spoke, Xiao Yun pulled out his phone and said with a grin, "I just recorded our conversation; let me play it for you!"
Xiao Yun pressed the play button on his phone, and soon the voices of the two echoed from the device.
...Uh, how could this happen? After listening to the recording on Xiao Yun's phone, Kato Masakazu's face turned ashen, and he began to sweat profusely.
How had he foolishly revealed all those dark secrets?
It seemed this kid had come with a purpose.
After a moment, Kato Masakazu asked with a trembling voice, "Long San, why are you doing this?"
"Considering you are my secret brother-in-law, I want you to turn yourself in to the relevant authorities. I know you have a wide network of connections, and even if you confess, you'll probably just get fired and sent home without facing any prison time, right?" Xiao Yun said in a very friendly tone.
Kato Masakazu's eyes turned cold as he glared at Xiao Yun with resentment and malice, asking each word slowly, "Tell me the truth, who exactly instructed you to do this?"
In Kato Masakazu's mind, he had no connection with this young Huaxia person; they had no grievances or enmities. He believed there was no reason for him to be targeted for no reason.
The political arena is like a battlefield without visible smoke; sometimes due to differing political views or various unsavory reasons, it is not uncommon in Island Nation for someone to secretly hire assassins to eliminate their opponents.
"No one instructed me," Xiao Yun said with an innocent expression, smiling. "I just heard some rumors about you from others, so I specifically arranged to meet you to verify whether what they said was true. Besides, given my secret relationship with your sister Kato Yoshiko, we are family; I can't just stand by and watch you sink deeper into trouble!"
Mud Horse, what does being family have to do with anything? How can this guy say such things? Encountering someone like this made Kato Masakazu feel an urge to bang his head against the wall.
A glint of malice flashed in Kato Masakazu's eyes as he said in a low voice, "What if I don't do as you say?"
Xiao Yun immediately put on a very serious face and said, "Then I'm sorry. Out of my concern for Kato Yoshiko and in order to uphold the dignity of the Kato Family, I would have to take drastic measures and expose your crimes. At that point, prison time might be waiting for you!"
"By the way, I also know that you have some connections with the underworld. However, you'd better not play any tricks on me. You know Sato Jinpachi from Sapporo, right? That guy has lost his mind and kidnapped Kato Miyoko. This morning, in order to save her, I directly dislocated one of Sato Jinpachi's arms!"
Upon hearing this, Kato Masakazu nearly went crazy!
He was very familiar with Sato Jinpachi. The reason he agreed to meet Xiao Yun tonight was that he wanted to take the opportunity to get him drunk and then hand him over to Sato Jinpachi for handling.
However, he never expected that Sato Jinpachi had already been taken out by this kid before him.
Where did this ruthless character come from?
"Long San," Kato Masakazu lost the pride and authority of a Deputy Director for the first time in front of others. After a moment of silence, he sighed lightly and said, "How much do you want? Name your price!"
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "I'm not here for the money."
If it's not for the money, then what is it for?
Could it be to maintain the reputation of the Kato Family? Is it really up to you, a Huaxia person?
Kato Masakazu was so angry he felt like he could spit blood. He wondered how Kato Yoshiko could have chosen someone like this; it was clearly a setup for disaster!
Just as Kato Masakazu was in a daze, Xiao Yun stood up and prepared to leave. However, he glanced at the table full of dishes, which were quite expensive, many of which had not been touched. It would be a shame to leave them behind. He might as well take them back for Tofu Xishi to try!
Regardless of where Tofu Xishi came from, she had treated him well. Not only did he stay there for free, but he was also well-fed and well-treated every day. One should always know how to be grateful.
Immediately, Master Xiao shouted towards the door, "Waitress!"
Soon, the waitress hurried in upon hearing his call. Xiao Yun pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "Pack all of this up; I want to take it with me."
The waitress looked at Kato Masakazu and Xiao Yun with surprise, wondering what was going on with these two. They ordered so much food but hardly ate anything.
After packing everything up, when Xiao Yun was about to leave with a large bag in hand without even glancing at Kato Masakazu, he turned his eyes and said to Kato Masakazu, "Brother-in-law, how about this: I don’t have any money on me today, so let’s consider this meal as your treat. I’ll head out first; you can take care of the bill later!"
Upon hearing Master Xiao's words, Kato Masakazu's expression darkened even more.
—Mud Horse, is there anyone in this world who exploits others like this?
...
"Hey, Wu Zhao'en, where are you?"
Not long after Xiao Yun left, Kato Masakazu dialed Wu the Fat's number with a complicated mood.
Wu the Fat immediately nodded and responded, "Kato, Deputy Director, I’m not at work today, I’m at home. Hehe, is there something you need from me?"
Kato Masakazu took a breath and asked, "Is there someone named Long San working under you?"
Wu the Fat was taken aback for a moment before he seemed to come to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Yes, he works in our operations department. Kato, Deputy Director, do you know this Long?"
"Hehe, I don’t know him personally. I just think I’ve heard someone mention his name before, so I asked casually!" With that, Kato Masakazu hung up the phone.
Wu the Fat was left stunned. Was Long San’s name really so prominent that it reached the ears of a Deputy Director who was busy with social engagements all day?
Thinking about Long San made Wu the Fat feel a headache coming on.
Earlier that afternoon, Wu the Fat received a call from Sato Jinpachi at the hospital, realizing that he had messed things up. Sato Jinpachi mentioned that they had kidnapped Long San's girlfriend and kept her in a cave overnight, but this morning they still had to let her go. When Wu the Fat asked who Long San's girlfriend was, Sato Jinpachi said her name was Kato Miyoko, and she was very beautiful and graceful.
Upon hearing this, Wu the Fat felt a surge of panic. How could Kato Miyoko be kidnapped by Sato Jinpachi's group as Long San's girlfriend?
Although this matter didn’t directly involve him, thinking about Kato Miyoko’s unpredictable temper and her tormenting methods made Wu the Fat feel terrified. He feared that Kato Miyoko would come looking for him and was so scared that he pretended to be sick and stayed at home.
After hanging up with his brother-in-law, Wu the Fat thought about it from every angle and felt something was off. Even if Kato Masakazu heard Long San's name, he wouldn’t go out of his way to call him for inquiries.
—What on earth is going on?
