Chapter 116: Your ancestors had mixed blood with Brother Ni, right? Run away after having a child
After leaving the Genji Heavy Industries Building, Lu Mingfei politely declined Sakurai Nanami's invitation and still drove the black Mercedes-Benz he came in to head towards the Sakurai family's companies.
Old Tang controlled the steering wheel and followed Sakurai Nanami's car in front of him. He said to the Gotham gangster sitting in the passenger seat:
"Mingming, what on earth have you been through? Half a month ago, you were still busy preparing for the study abroad exam, but now after just a few days, you're chatting and laughing with a bunch of gangsters."
To be honest, he really felt like he had been exploring the tomb for four or five days, and seven or eight years had passed since he came out of the tomb, and the world had changed dramatically.
It's really fucking dreamy.
"Things are unpredictable, and life is full of ups and downs." Lu Mingfei took out a bag of lollipops from the storage compartment, took one out and put it in his mouth, saying in a deep tone, "Who would have thought that I wasn't even born eighteen years ago, and eighteen years later I'd be at the age where I couldn't keep up with the times and would be laid off by the company."
Old Tang heard this, it was a good philosophy, indeed, he had studied politics and ideology and morality, he said: "Then did you talk about those investments before? Have they worked? I still have some spare money, if I can make money, I will get involved."
Although he dreams of becoming the next Indiana Jones, being a bounty hunter is somewhat dangerous, and he occasionally thinks about retiring once he has saved enough money.
Now we know that such a strange creature as dragon really exists in the world. If we are unlucky and run into one when we go to a tomb one day, we might be killed by it.
So to be on the safe side, he listened to Lu Mingfei and prepared to find a job under the rich woman called Su Sang.
Since you have decided to withdraw, there is no need to spend the remaining $20,000 to buy weapons. You can keep it to follow the big boss and get some benefits.
Anyway, with this obvious relationship, the other party should not cheat a poor Indiana like him.
"A lot of that stuff is just bluffing. Just listen to it. It's impossible to implement it at this stage."
Lu Mingfei had been trying to persuade Old Tang yesterday, asking him to find a stable job and not take risks. Hearing what he said, he thought it had worked, so he said:
"There are plenty of investment opportunities, so there's no need to rush. And to be honest, with our little money, we won't be able to make any splash. During this time, we should follow our brothers and show off our power. We can expect to receive a reward later."
Old Tang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, thinking that the world of capital was so terrifying.
"So what should we do next? Are we just going to follow them and eat and drink for free? And are you not going to take off your hood?"
"The next task is to help me get into the Eight Snake Families as much as possible. There are some things I must confirm in person." Lu Mingfei's voice was light, but it revealed a firmness that could not be questioned:
"As for the hood, the Bull Warrior never takes it off."
"But aren't you Batman?"
"It's changed now." Lu Mingfei said as he took off the cat ears and replaced them with a pair of little devil horn hairpins.
Old Tang: “…”
You guys deserve to die, Kassel Academy! Look at what you've done to my brother! The ignorant bounty hunter's inner thoughts were hidden by his sunglasses, and Lu Mingfei, who was close at hand, failed to notice. He looked at the silent beautiful girl in the rearview mirror and asked, "Zero, what happened in the Awakening Temple just now? Do you know that Tachibana Masamune?"
To be on the safe side, they installed anti-eavesdropping jammers in their cars, so there was no need to use code names at this moment.
Ling raised his eyes slightly, revealing half of his face that was so delicate that there was no flaw in it: "I don't know him, but he makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"So serious?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but look back when he heard that.
Zero was a very indifferent child towards many things. Due to her childhood experiences, she refused to have physical contact with others. However, there were few people who made her feel so obviously resistant. She even received negative comments that were almost equivalent to disgust.
In Lu Mingfei's impression, it seemed that only the former dean of the research institute could easily make Zero feel disgusted just by mentioning his name.
But the old guy who was blown to pieces by his single rocket was a German. Even if he was in Spain or the original site of the research institute, he should not appear in Japan as a Russian.
"Are you sure you haven't seen him anywhere?"
"Not sure." Ling shook her head gently, and the black hollow lace veil swayed slightly. The sunlight outside the window cast a hazy shadow, which seemed to bring a little haze to the girl's heart that was difficult to erase.
“It’s okay. If you don’t like him, just ignore him. Now is not the time to be angry. Wait until I find out the situation of the Eight Snake Qi Families. If that old guy is hiding some secrets, I will just expose his secrets.” Lu Mingfei comforted him, acting like a brother who stood up for his sister.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang felt that his younger brother had let himself go after coming into contact with the Eight Snake Clans, and even dared to target someone at the top of the Japanese underworld.
"Um, I wanted to ask before, is this Miss Zero your sister?"
It's no wonder he had such doubts, mainly because Ling looked like a girl who had just entered junior high school, and no one could guess her real age.
“What else?” Lu Mingfei asked back, not caring that the two of them had no similarities at all from race to appearance, and just forced it together.
No matter what others think, Ling is his younger sister. She has called him brother for many years in her previous life.
Once you call me big brother, you are always big brother for life and you can’t escape that.
Ling had no objection to this. No emotion could be seen on her icy face. The only difference was that there was a faint light flickering in her eyes hidden under the brim of her hat and veil.
The convoy kept shuttling between cities, and the black Mercedes stopped at a large office building in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, with a sign of Sakurai Corporation hanging on it.
This is the largest enterprise under the Sakurai family, and it is also the first stop for Lu Mingfei and others to officially start their visiting journey.
This time it was not Nanami Sakurai who acted as the tour guide herself, but a manager with a solemn face who looked a bit old-fashioned, as is typical of Japanese old men, who was responsible for introducing the three distinguished guests.
"My name is Sakurai Kozaburo, and I am the manager of the Sakurai Group headquarters. I will now be the one to introduce you to..."
When he was introducing himself, he noticed that the VIP wearing a devil horn headdress and a robber's hood was staring at him. He couldn't help but recall that the lipstick on his face that the secretary had left was not wiped off.
But looking at the chairman's appearance, it doesn't seem like there are any lipstick marks on his face.
Lu Mingfei on the opposite side initially thought that this man looked familiar, but when he heard his name, he immediately realized that this was the father of his second sister-in-law’s scumbag who divorced his wife and abandoned his daughter in order to make way for his mistress.
Damn it, in his previous life, this old scumbag was cheated of his money and life by a gold digger and yet he had the audacity to come back and ask his daughter for alimony. How did he become a manager of a listed group in this life?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lu Mingfei was puzzled, bewildered, and at a loss for words. In the end, he could only sigh that this fucking world was so outrageous that it forced people to become numb to surprises and shocks.
He could only comfort himself that since Lao Deng had made it to this position, he shouldn't be seduced by a gold digger he met in a nightclub and abandon his wife and daughter.
After all, although this company looks prosperous, it is ultimately linked to the mafia. There is no reason for him to be dazzled by some bad chicks at the bottom and think that he has found true love.
If you want to find true love in a nightclub, why not look for the cleaning ladies in the company? At least they are better at managing a family than the bad girls who hang out in nightclubs.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei said in a tone of chatting and making small talk when they first met: "Mr. Sakurai Kozaburo looks successful in his career and must have a happy family. I can tell from the looks of it that you look like a strict father. You remind me of my uncle."
His words came naturally, without any deliberateness, and Sakurai Kozaburo did not feel anything abrupt, so he answered naturally:
"To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I've experienced two failed marriages and am still single."
Lu Mingfei: “…”
Hard, hard, hard fist! I really want to punch your pig brain and dog eyes. Can you double the operation of abandoning your wife and daughter? You ran away after having a child. How come your ancestors had mixed blood with Brother Ni? Are these bad habits engraved in your DNA?
His eyes turned cold instantly, and without paying any attention to Sakurai Kosaburo who was still waiting for a response, he turned to look at Sakurai Nanami, signaling that she could start the next step.
Nanami Sakurai also noticed the change in attitude of VIP Batman-san. Although she didn't understand why he suddenly became so cold, she didn't replace him immediately. She asked Kosaburo Sakurai to accompany her and inspect several floors before replacing him on the pretext of different business scope.
Lu Mingfei's expression improved slightly only after Sakurai Kozaburo finished his paragraph-like introduction and left.
Seeing this, Sakurai Nanami tried to test him calmly, using the excuse that Sakurai Kosaburo was conscientious and often had no time to take care of the family due to being too busy with work, which led to the breakdown of his marriage. She wanted to see why Lu Mingfei disliked him, and whether she could understand his temperament and preferences from him.
In response to this, Lu Mingfei only said that he had an elder whom he respected who also divorced for some reason, so he had a little prejudice against divorced men, especially Sakurai Kozaburo, who was the x2 version.
Upon hearing this, Sakurai Nanami felt relieved. Fortunately, she did not get divorced, but her husband died.
Afterwards, Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to ask about the current situation of Sakurai Kosaburo's divorced wife and children. With the other party's wealth, he should be able to provide them with a decent resettlement.
Of course, it could be worse. Working for a gang-related organization might make one's heart even darker, and he might even drive his wife and children away.
Sakurai Nanami smiled apologetically and said that this was the employee's private matter and she was not in a position to disclose it. She could only say that both wives had been properly settled and the children were studying at the academy set up by the family.
"Would it be convenient for me to visit the school?" Lu Mingfei was like a curious baby, wanting to see everything he saw.
"Well...the school is a special talent training center, which involves family secrets. I'm afraid I can't make the decision." Sakurai Nanami shook her head.
“Forget it.” Lu Mingfei seemed to be uninterested, but deep down he was more concerned about what they were hiding.
How come the Snake Eight Clan also set up a dragon-slaying school? Recalling the disdain and disgust in Sakurai Kosaburo's eyes when he talked about his two failed marriages, Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes slightly.
That look is not what a man would look like because he has to divorce because of work and neglects his family.
Was it because his wife had cheated on him, or because his children were too rebellious, or because he felt that they were no longer worthy of him after he had achieved a promotion and a raise and reached the pinnacle of his life? Regardless of the result, Lu Mingfei had already written him down in his little notebook.
