Date: October 7th
Under the blockade of Official news, the terrifying situation inside Cheng Da Building remained undisclosed. Utilizing the resources at hand, Nobunaga Hideyoshi successfully completed a transaction with the local government.
After all the heirs of Cheng Haiyun, the largest shareholder, perished, the bank sold the frozen assets to Hong Kong Bofort Company, the Second Largest Shareholder of the current Cheng Yuanyang Shipping Group.
Initially, Nobunaga Hideyoshi registered a company in Hong Kong to avoid drawing the attention and hostility of the Chinese Empire, as ocean transportation was somewhat sensitive.
However, now that he had laid everything bare with the Official, the local government could no longer allow Nobunaga Hideyoshi to maintain a fixed industry within the Chinese Empire. This way, if he ever wanted to breach their agreement and spread information, they would have countermeasures in place. A mutually beneficial cooperative relationship where both parties held leverage over each other was the most secure approach.
Simultaneously, after the fire incident, the entire city became a site for Virus Sampling Inspection. Most citizens supported regular testing for this terrifying virus, except for those who had urgent matters to attend to, who expressed their frustrations.
"Hey, I've signed the contract; can I leave now? If this drags on, it will cause me trouble." After washing up, Yang Xiaoyou felt a bit annoyed watching Nobunaga Hideyoshi stroll around his house in pajamas.
He wasn't worried about attracting Official attention while staying at his own home. He was well aware that when Zhao Liang took his statement and recorded it at the embassy, he had been saved by Dream Sailor. It was a life-saving grace; hosting someone like him was only proper hospitality.
However, having such a fellow staying at home brought many changes to his daily life. Although he was male, due to his appearance...
"According to your plan to start focusing on Yamaguchi-gumi, their Fifth Generation leader, Watanabe Yoshihiro, is already gravely ill. If you plan to take action later, staying in Asia would be more convenient than being in Europe, and you could personally reorganize this group's operations," said Nobunaga Hideyoshi nonchalantly.
"Then can we rent a hotel now? Do I really have to sleep on the sofa?" Hearing such a strong reason and excuse made Yang Xiaoyou feel somewhat regretful, and he complained afterward.
If he had previously planned to infiltrate as an outer member, he would have indeed prepared to act more discreetly. However, since it was clear that he already knew everything now, there was no need for him to hide his true nature any longer.
"According to the explanation from outside, I could be considered your savior. I initially stayed here, but then I rented a hotel on my own. It might actually cause some trouble, and I had already said from the beginning that I was fine sleeping on the couch."
At this moment, Nobunaga Hideyoshi was quite casual about it.
Hearing this rebuttal, Yang Xiaoyou displayed a deadpan expression. It seemed that choosing to wear a helmet back then was indeed the right decision. Unfortunately, everything had been ruined by that bastard Sun Jun.
Recently, during the investigation over the holiday, there had been no sign of him, which left Yang Xiaoyou feeling a bit troubled. The feeling of an opponent lurking in the shadows like a venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment, was far from pleasant. With the holiday coming to an end, things were becoming more pressing.
However, Yang Xiaoyou also knew that right now, the National Security and police were probably more anxious than she was. If the virus spread again and caused any issues, it would be a huge problem.
The case involving the Minister of National Defense and State Affairs was still pending, and now there were even more pressing matters arising. They had indeed been having a rough time lately.
It seemed that not long ago they had replaced a police chief; now it was uncertain whether they would have to change again.
For safety's sake, Yang Xiaoyou now carried her specially made wrist guards whenever she went out and even brought a gun with her. She had also asked Feng Lin for help regarding Qi Menglu and briefly explained the situation.
Although self-defense in the short term posed no problem, if she couldn't uncover her opponent over time, it would become troublesome.
There are thieves who operate for a thousand days but no defenses against thieves for a thousand days; even the most cautious person can have moments of negligence. Prolonged mental tension can easily lead to a sense of habituation and instinctive relaxation.
Right now, Yang Xiaoyou was betting on Sun Jun's mutation being severe enough that he couldn't suppress his true nature and would reveal himself sooner rather than later.
"You should have seen it; I landed a punch right in that militant's abdomen. Even though he was wearing a bulletproof vest, I made him spit blood. Then I followed up with a knee strike that took him out completely. Hmph! If they hadn't had guns, there would definitely have been more than one person lying at my feet in Dream Water." Just as Yang Xiaoyou walked into the classroom, she saw a group of people gathered around Huang Wei, listening to him recount his 'experiences.'
During the entire Hijacking Incident, the vast majority of students behaved honestly, and eventually, they were successfully rescued. There were not many like Huang Wei who had such 'rich' experiences.
"Seriously? I didn't expect you to be so capable. Zhang Peng has practiced Sanda and is quite skilled; I saw him get taken down in just a few moves." While Huang Wei was boasting loudly, someone in the crowd raised a question.
Zhang Peng, the class monitor with a somewhat easygoing personality, seemed to have resisted at first. Fortunately, the Militants who subdued him did not resort to lethal force. Even so, he was still in the hospital.
Upon hearing this, Huang Wei showed no signs of discomfort on his face; he simply nodded and affirmed, "Of course, I just tend to keep a low profile and don’t like to show off."
He appeared somewhat humble.
As Yang Xiaoyou walked into his seat after listening to everything, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Look, my witness has arrived. You can ask Yang Xiaoyou if he was afraid I would kill that guy and even warned me," Huang Wei said, finally spotting Yang Xiaoyou at the back of the room.
"He did warn him," Yang Xiaoyou replied. Having been overly stressed due to the investigation into Sun Jun's case, he finally felt a bit relaxed upon arriving at school. He didn’t bother to expose Huang Wei’s exaggeration; watching him act cute was somewhat entertaining.
Not long after Yang Xiaoyou took his seat, the classroom door opened again, and Liu Lianyue walked in with a somewhat exhausted appearance toward Yang Xiaoyou.
Seeing her dark circles under her eyes, it seemed that she was not the only one busy lately. While the Radicals gained enough reputation from this incident, Zhao Chen likely began making some expansion and counterattack arrangements.
Although she looked a bit tired, her mood seemed quite good.
After glancing at Yang Xiaoyou, Liu Lianyue's face showed a hint of confusion. Even now, she found it hard to associate Yang Xiaoyou with the profession of Mercenary; the contrast was simply too great.
However, the level of bomb dismantling clearly indicated that he was not joking. As for the identities of the Mercenary and the members of the Common Unity Party, there was no conflict between the two; this alone would not lead to any rejection of him.
On the contrary, it was precisely because she had discovered Yang Xiaoyou's new ability that Liu Lianyue became increasingly attentive. It seemed that the Radicals were completely lacking in talent in this aspect.
"By the way, did you know that Sun Jun is dead?" Liu Lianyue suddenly said after approaching Yang Xiaoyou.
Yang Xiaoyou, who had been focused on Sun Jun, was taken aback upon hearing this. "Dead?! How could Dream Water die so easily?"
"Yeah, there was a fire at his father's company, and he was among the victims. Sigh, although he was quite annoying, it's still pretty tragic to think about. He just encountered the Hijacking Incident and then died in a fire during his time off," Liu Lianyue sighed.
"Tragic? Hey, maybe, but compared to being tragic, he is much more detestable." Upon hearing what was essentially the official news she had gathered, Yang Xiaoyou leaned back on the table again and said weakly.
Yet, even with her half-closed eyes, there was a sharpness in her gaze.
This year's atmosphere felt a bit unusual; everyone should try not to be too tense and remain rational.
