Chapter 46 The Kidnapped Lover
Sunlight shone directly on the towering buildings, and the square buildings shone brightly under the reflection of the large glass panes, so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.
In this block-shaped building, millions of migrant workers gather. They sit in front of their computers, working hard. They are dressed in suits, but they look like a group of prisoners, prisoners of life.
Not far from this building, a Mazda was parked on the side of the road. Inside, a handsome guy with curly hair wearing sunglasses was smoking and looking out the lowered window at the tall glass building in the distance.
"Kenji, shouldn't we find some time to infiltrate that company? That would make the investigation easier." Matsuda Jinpei put his cigarette butt in the ashtray and turned to look at Hagiwara Kenji.
The young man with medium-length hair silently looked at the folder on his lap, quickly skimming through the information inside.
“That’s unlikely. Only company employees can get in; outsiders are practically impossible to enter.” Kenji Hagiwara closed his laptop and sighed deeply. “It’s practically airtight!”
"I'll get a fake identity; that way, I'm sure I can infiltrate."
Kenji Hagiwara shook his head, indicating his disagreement, "It's too dangerous."
"How can you avenge Kurosawa-san without taking risks? Are you scared, Kenji?" Matsuda Jinpei took off his glasses and looked aggressively at Hagiwara Kenji.
"No, I mean, we might have other ways..." Kenji Hagiwara quickly explained.
Everything seemed to have changed since that person died. Kenji Hagiwara thought silently.
Rei Furuya and Hiromitsu Morofushi disappeared immediately after graduation without any news. Yao was disheartened and applied for a transfer to Hokkaido, but never returned.
At first, Chunyan was very diligent in searching for clues, but something happened along the way that made him give up the investigation. From then on, he often disappeared and stopped talking about the matter.
Then there's the Kurosawa Group. After Yinghai inherited the group, he showed no intention of investigating the case, even though Kurosawa is his older brother! It really makes one wonder if he really killed his brother to seize power.
Kenji Hagiwara recalled that he had once visited the Kurosawa Group with Jinpei Matsuda. He still remembered Naoto Hideaki's cold attitude. Jinpei Matsuda had a big argument with Naoto Hideaki and was ruthlessly kicked out of the Kurosawa Group by Naoto Hideaki.
Now, only the two of them are still persisting in the investigation. Thinking of this, Kenji Hagiwara felt a mix of emotions and began to look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Seeing Hagiwara Kenji's expression, Matsuda Jinpei immediately understood, "Idiot, what are you thinking about now!"
"Haha, I was thinking how fast time flies..." Kenji Hagiwara said, his voice gradually lowering.
He'd forgotten what Kurosawa's cooking tasted like so quickly.
"Beep beep beep—" The cell phone ringtone seemed to penetrate one's soul.
Upon seeing the caller ID displayed on their phone screens, both Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji's expressions hardened.
"It's Bai Miao."
"Why is he calling?" Matsuda Jinpei asked, clearly annoyed.
Since their minor disagreement at the Black Swamp Group, they hadn't had any contact with those people, so Bai Miao's phone call now was highly unusual.
"Moses, Moses."
"You've already found out about Tianding Group? Not bad." A teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda have never given up investigating the truth these days.
Back then, before Kurosawa Jin died, he destroyed a gang and obtained important information from it. However, that information brought him to his death.
Therefore, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji believed that all of this was inextricably linked to that gang. Through a long investigation, the two focused their attention on the Ten-Ding Group, which had close ties with the gang.
"You're spying on us!" Upon hearing Bai Miao's words, Matsuda Jinpei's alarm bells went off, and he stared intently at his phone.
"Hey, hey, no, it was clearly you two kids who wandered into our field of vision first, okay?" Bai Miao explained.
Kenji Hagiwara seemed to understand something and said, "You're also monitoring the Tendō Group?"
"Yes, Tianding Group is one of the rival companies of Kurosawa Group. They have caused us quite a bit of trouble before."
"So you monitor it."
"Yes."
"Then why did you call us? Do you want us to help you?" Matsuda Jinpei shouted into the phone, seemingly angry. "Let me tell you, we're not helping you!"
Knowing that Matsuda Jinpei was still holding a grudge because of the past, Hagiwara Kenji snatched the phone away. "Brother Bai Miao, I'm sorry, haha, little Jinpei hasn't woken up yet."
After a long pause, the voice on the other end of the line said with a mocking tone, "Heh, it's you who should be helping, isn't it? It's really pathetic that you can't get into Tianding Group!"
"Baka!" Matsuda Jinpei tried to snatch the phone back, but was subdued by Hagiwara Kenji.
"Xiao Zhenping, don't get agitated!"
Then, Bai Miao's words stirred up a storm: "I have connections within the Tianding Group."
At this moment, both people in the car stopped, and Matsuda Jinpei gave Hagiwara Kenji a look.
“I know you’re investigating that matter. Although our boss has a rule that employees of the group are not allowed to touch this kind of thing, I’ll reluctantly help you out because I feel sorry for you.”
Bai Miao's words were like the sun, giving the two of them new hope.
Kenji Hagiwara slowed his breathing, "Brother Bai Miao, you want to give us your people in Tianding Group..."
"Dream on! I had to go through a lot of trouble to get that guy in! But you can send him an extra copy of any messages he sends back later."
Upon hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji were secretly delighted and felt indescribably grateful.
"Ahem, that's all for now." Bai Miao hurriedly hung up the phone and looked at Ying Hai Naoto sitting opposite her.
"Boss, it's done."
“Very good.” Naoto Hideaki nodded in satisfaction as he sipped his coffee.
Meanwhile, in another villa, Kurosawa Jin received a mission regarding the Tenden Group.
The midday sun poured in without reservation, warm and dazzling. It shone through the glass and onto the corner of the table, turning stacks of documents on the table golden.
Kurosawa Jin picks up a mission about the Tendō Group, whose leader has sent a plea for help to the organization, saying that his lover has been kidnapped.
After quickly skimming through it, Kurosawa Jin said with interest, "This mission is quite interesting."
The original Tendō Group had a cooperative relationship with the organization. Then, four months ago, Tendō Shijūrō, the person in charge of the Tendō Group, attempted to betray the organization. As you can imagine, Shijūrō got his wish and went to the underworld to enjoy life.
Incidentally, it was Shuichi Akai who killed Tenjoujiro. Four months ago, Shuichi Akai was given this mission due to someone's malicious targeting, while the others were just investigating.
After Tenjou Jushiro's death, the Tenjou Group was leaderless, and the organization took the opportunity to annex it and installed Tenjou Jushiro's son-in-law as the nominal leader.
This son-in-law is no ordinary man, Kurosawa Jin thought to himself.
The son-in-law was named Shimoda Nobuo. With his handsome face and sweet talk, he won over the daughter of Tenjo Jushiro, transforming a pheasant into a golden phoenix.
Based on this information alone, we can only deduce that Shimoda Nobuo is a man who has achieved success through some underhanded means, but that doesn't mean he's not that simple.
Nobuo Shimoda's father's death was related to Jushiro Tenjo; in fact, it could be said that Jushiro Tenjo directly caused his father's death. Nobuo Shimoda painstakingly approached Jushiro Tenjo's daughter in order to seek revenge.
After taking over Tianding Group, he gradually won people's hearts and minds, and in a short period of time, he gained a certain status within the group.
"Brother, why did you take on this mission?" Vodka asked cautiously, standing behind Kurosawa Jin.
The Tenjo Group's mission this time is to help Shimoda Nobuo find his lover, who has been kidnapped by a rival organization and is Tenjo Jushiro's daughter.
Gin is not qualified to take on such a task.
Kurosawa Jin remained silent, but handed a document to Vodka, a report on changes in Tenjo Ryuna's assets.
The report states that Tian Ding Liu Cai's several asset changes appear normal, but in reality, they are secretly transferring assets to a certain organization. This organization is the one that kidnapped Tian Ding Liu Cai during the mission, which we will temporarily call Organization A.
“This…” Although Vodka didn’t seem very bright, he was still an agent trained by the organization and could naturally see the problem above. “Tenjou Naka has defected to Organization A!”
Tensei Ryuu is a member of the Tensei Group, which means she's part of the organization. If she wants to betray the organization, she's not far from death.
“Little mouse.” Kurosawa Jin’s calm tone sent shivers down one’s spine.
Wherever there are rats betraying the organization, there is Gin.
According to his character design, Kurosawa Jin should have personally killed Tenjou Ryuna, but he suddenly felt a surge of malice.
"Assign the task to Dai Moroboshi and have him find out where Ryuna Amasada is hiding within two days."
Having completed his task of tricking Shuichi Akai for the day, Kurosawa Jin watched Vodka obediently go to work, feeling much happier.
During the four months he spent with the Whiskey Trio, Kurosawa Jin tried to avoid meeting Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei in order to control the rate at which their approval ratings dropped.
This greatly increased the time Kurosawa Jin and Akai Shuichi spent meeting. As a result, Kurosawa Jin would dump all sorts of messy things on Akai Shuichi, but he would take all the credit and leave all the blame to Akai Shuichi.
As a result, rumors circulated within the organization that Gin highly valued Dai Moroboshi and wanted to groom him as his successor.
In response, the heartless boss, Kurosawa Jin, made no comment and allowed the rumors to escalate!
"There are two more new recruits who will come with me to Tianding Group tomorrow," Kurosawa Jin instructed again.
Vodka stood there, stunned: "Big brother?"
Kurosawa Jin looked at Vodka, whose question was written all over his face.
Vodka couldn't understand why, instead of just killing Tendō Ryūka and ending it all, he had to go through the whole Tendō Group process.
"Vodka, obey orders! And stop making that stupid face!" Kurosawa Jin said sternly, his tone revealing his displeasure.
"Yes, brother!"
