You Tianfu, who was in the mine, was listening to Sawakawa Ichiro's female apprentice telling her story. His ears were burning with excitement, but he didn't realize that he was being madly "greeted" by Hao Zhengguang...

The girl's name is Hanakawa Ryoko. Although she and Nakanomé are both disciples of Sawagawa Ichiro, Nakanomé became his disciple halfway through his career, while Ryoko has been following him since she was a child. To her, Sawagawa Ichiro is both a master and a relative, and the two have a strong family bond.

After the incident in the east part of the city, Ichiro Sawagawa died tragically, which dealt a great blow to Ryoko. She was already tired of all the fighting and killing, and now she had lost her backbone and didn't want to stay in Chinatown anymore, so she found Nakanomé and discussed with him that she wanted to take Ichiro Sawagawa's ashes back to Japan and return to normal life as an ordinary person.

But Nakanome was ambitious and planned to occupy the south of the city and even the entire Chinatown. He wanted to carve out a world of his own here and naturally would not leave. So the first conversation between the two ended in a bad mood.

Some time later, Ryoko found Nakano for the second time, trying to persuade him to return to Japan. However, by then, Nakano had already made his own plans for the future and began to slowly put his plan into action. He planned to form an alliance with Wang Liang, who was under attack from all sides, and then, after killing Fan De and taking over the Chengnan Bar, he would recruit more people and strengthen his power.

Several forces in the south of the city have been badly damaged by the fighting between each other. Now is a good time for him to intervene. Nakano is unwilling to give up everything and return to Japan to be an ordinary person, and he is unwilling to accept his fate!

So when they met for the second time, Ryoko and Nakanome had a big fight, and both of them were arguing about future developments.

Ryoko was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She grabbed Nakano's collar and yelled, "Master is gone, and you still don't repent. What's the point of gathering forces here? What's the point of making a name for yourself?"

You live on the edge of a knife every day. Sooner or later, you will lose your life here like your master!

Even worse than Master's fate!"

Nakanome was furious after hearing this and slapped Ryoko hard in the face: "This is my ideal and my master's last wish. Without the fighting spirit of Bushido, you are not worthy of being a ninja! I know everything about this place and I will definitely make a name for myself in the future!

Go away, go back to Japan and be an ordinary person!"

The slap made Ryoko's mouth bleed, and it also hit her heart. She was completely disappointed with Nakanome, and the two immediately parted ways and went their separate ways.

After Sawakawa Ichiro's death, Chen Dong admired his spirit of sacrificing his life to protect his master, so he ordered a proper burial. His subordinates did indeed bury him in the best and only cemetery in Chinatown, complete with tombstone, coffin, mourning tent, and paper money.

Ichiro Sawagawa is a rather old-fashioned person who does everything according to the rules. He is extremely strict with Ryoko and Nakanome on weekdays, but he takes special care of Ryoko in private, treating her as not only his apprentice but also his sister and daughter.

Ryoko started receiving ninja training at a young age. She was familiar with various weapons and knew various fighting techniques and movements. No matter what skills she learned, she could master them quickly. However, the only skill she couldn't do was one that was essential for girls - tying her hair.

Her hair would fall down to her waist when she let it down, but no matter how hard she tried to style it or how tightly she tied it, it would always fall apart during training.

So for all these years, it has been Ichiro Sawakawa who has been helping her tie her hair. Only at this moment will Ichiro Sawakawa show his tough but tender side. His calloused hands gently comb Ryoko's hair, and every time he will praise her hair for being soft and smooth.

Unable to convince Nakanomé, Ryoko was completely desperate, so she decided to leave Chinatown alone and return to Japan to be an ordinary person again.

Before leaving, she came to Ichiro Sawakawa's tombstone, shook off her long hair that she had grown for many years, cut it off almost at the roots, and then placed it carefully in front of the tombstone to express her deep reluctance to leave.

Having made the decision to leave, Ryoko planned her route back home. She planned to leave Chinatown and go to Myanmar first, and then fly back to Japan from Myanmar.

She had lived in Chinatown with Ichiro Sawakawa for several years. Although she was familiar with the southern part of the city, she still felt very unfamiliar when she walked out of that area and into the outskirts of Chinatown.

Ryoko knew the journey back home wasn't safe, especially for a girl like her, who was prone to numerous obstacles and dangers. After much deliberation, she decided to disguise herself as a man, taking her ID with her and changing into men's clothing and attire before leaving Chinatown and embarking on her journey home.

Having received various training since childhood, Ryoko's figure looks more robust than that of an ordinary girl. In addition, she cut her hair long and changed into men's clothes. When strangers glanced at her at first glance, they could not tell that she looked like a woman at all.

Ryoko set off according to her plan. She spent money to find a merchant with a car in the south of the city and asked him to use a truck to take her to Myanmar.

There was money to be made, so the merchant agreed and the two set off immediately. However, something unexpected happened before they left Chinatown.

At the exit of Chinatown, the truck was driving normally, but suddenly several figures rushed out from the roadside, stumbling and falling right in front of the truck.

The driver slammed on the brakes when he saw this, and stopped right before hitting the people. He then opened the door and yelled, "That crazy guy is killing himself!?"

The truck stopped, revealing four ragged young women in a horrible state, their bodies covered in wounds of varying sizes. Following the sounds of yelling and cursing, they spotted the driver and, instead of running away, knelt down in unison, kowtowed, and begged, "We were tricked into coming here. Please, take us away..."

After they finished speaking, the four girls began to kowtow in turn, each time with great force, their foreheads making a banging sound as they hit the ground.

The merchant was also confused. Although he didn't know what the situation was, his years of living experience in Chinatown told him not to meddle in other people's business, so he waved his hand to refuse.

As a girl, Ryoko felt pity for the four girls of the same age as herself, and gave the driver some extra money, asking him to help.

The driver saw that there was money to be made and it was also on the way, so he hesitated for a few seconds and let the four girls get on the bus. At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized: "This bus is going to Myanmar. When we get to the destination, you must get off immediately and leave quickly!"

After we were seated, the truck continued to move forward, leaving Chinatown and heading onto the main road.

Not long after walking, I saw a cloud of dust rising in the sky behind me, and a jeep was chasing me at full speed.

There were three people in the jeep, one was driving, and two were standing behind the car, all holding long guns in their hands, shouting at the driver to stop!

Upon seeing this scene, the driver immediately realized that they must have come for the four girls. His face suddenly changed color with fear, and he wailed bitterly: "I told you to mind your own business! Mind your own business! Now I'm in big fucking trouble!..."
