After my morning run, I returned home.
Chanel was making breakfast, and Hou Wenjie had taken another shower.
Then, he and Chanel helped Shan Xia back to the restroom.
After she washed up, the three of them ate breakfast together.
At the dinner table, Hou Wenjie, remembering the inconvenience of his elegant attire under his shirt, said:
"I'll have someone deliver a wheelchair later, so you won't have to stay at home, Elegant."
"Thank you, Wenjie." The elegant woman under the shirt hadn't fully recovered from her previous embarrassment; her face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were somewhat evasive.
Kana didn't notice any of this. She smiled and looked at Shanxia Elegance: "Shanxia, I told you a long time ago that Wenjie is a very, very good person. You misunderstood him before."
Although Chanel witnessed the bloody scene firsthand at the farm orphanage, in her heart, Wenjie was fighting for justice, and all the bloodshed and violence was to eliminate evil.
Although she was instinctively afraid at that time, all her fears vanished after meeting Wenjie's calm, still eyes, leaving only her longing and worry for her beloved.
The three of them had already seen Hedao's headline news in their phone's news feed.
The news headline read, "The Bajing Farm Orphanage: A Living Hell!"
There were also headlines like the one in the Kyoto Shimbun: "Unveiling the Secrets of Yai Farm: Why Does the Far East Association Still Exist!"
The Mainichi Shimbun's headline was even more direct: "Human Oil Processing: Pushing the Boundaries of Humanity!"
These news reports have completely pushed the Far East Society to the brink of annihilation!
Below the news articles, there were voices of indignation from netizens on the island.
"This is terrifying, so brutal! Why do such terrifying gangs still exist on the island? Are those politicians and prime ministers inhuman?"
"I had no idea I was living in such a terrible world. The Far East should be defined as a terrorist organization, and I hope they will all be sent to the gallows!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! How many innocent islanders have they killed? Every single member of the Far East Society deserves to die!"
…
Then, some smaller media outlets exposed the evil deeds that the Far East Association had committed over the years.
Those things that were once covered up have been exposed almost overnight.
The president of the Far East Association, Masaaki Itani, and the vice presidents, Kazuhiro Yai and Osamu Kitadono, all became household names in Kazushima.
However, this widespread fame also signifies being thoroughly nailed to the pillar of historical shame, and being despised by countless people from Hedao Island.
Following the release of these news reports, the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department immediately held an emergency press conference.
The press conference was broadcast live online. Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Commissioner Fumio Ida first bowed and apologized to all the people of Kazuma, and then made a solemn pledge that he would give the people of Kazuma an explanation, investigate thoroughly, and never tolerate the evil forces!
As Fumio Ida's press conference concluded, a spectacular line of police cars appeared on the streets of Kyoto, with sirens blaring everywhere.
In a luxurious villa in Kyoto, Kita-dono Osamu looked ashen-faced. None of the politicians he had once sponsored answered his calls today, even though he sent them threatening messages!
The news on his phone made him realize that he was likely doomed this time!
How could this happen! Why would a club that had been glorious for decades collapse completely overnight?
Kita-dono Haru really couldn't understand it!
Which gang doesn't commit evil? Aren't the Yamaguchi-gumi, Inagawa-kai, and Sumiyoshi-kai all inherently evil?
Why did the Far East Association suddenly become the target of everyone's criticism overnight?
Looking at the news on his phone, especially the article about human oil refining that made the headlines, Kita-dono Haru hated Yai Kazuhiro, that idiot, to the core.
Before he could think any further, a bodyguard with a stern expression entered the room and said:
"Sir, there are many police officers outside the villa, and we are surrounded."
Upon hearing the bodyguard's words, Bei Dianzhi paused, all his emotions turning into dejection. He waved his hand and said, "You can leave now!"
From the bodyguard's words, Kita no Ji already knew that the police were serious this time.
Although he had imagined this day countless times, he never expected it to arrive so abruptly.
Kita no Ji looked back on the glorious years of his life and sighed.
He knew many secrets of so-called important figures, secrets that might have been his shield in the past, but in this hopeless situation, they would only become his death knell.
He also has a wife and children, which is his most fatal weakness.
Therefore, he cannot reveal those secrets, nor will he become a pawn in the struggle between the island factions.
Perhaps, a dignified death is the best ending.
Kita-no-ji looked at the family heirloom samurai sword on the wall, got up, took it down, and then knelt down on the ground again.
He drew his sword and slowly recited:
"The dew of midsummer night is fleeting, vanishing in the morning sun; so too will my life!"
After saying that, he gripped the knife with both hands and stabbed himself in the abdomen.
As the head of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, when Hideo Matsui's leather shoes stepped into the room, he saw Kitadono Osamu, who had already committed suicide by disembowelment.
Matsui Takeo smiled. This was a good outcome for him; with the man dead, there wouldn't be too many troubles befalling him.
He waved his hand, signaling two of his men to carry the suspect's body away.
Magic Bean Society headquarters, small conference room.
Kitagawa Kenji said, "President, the Far East Association is completely finished. Members have been arrested or have fled. We have taken over three blocks that are close to us!"
We are currently short-staffed and are recruiting new members.
Of course, because of last night's battle, our Magic Bean Club has gained considerable fame in Kyoto, and many people are interested in joining.
"Yes!" Hou Wenjie nodded and said:
"Now that we live in the internet age, some of the old-fashioned ideas about the martial arts world are outdated. We need to carefully select talent and also run long-term training programs!"
The purpose of running the training courses is to teach students how to make money legally by exploiting legal loopholes and how to avoid committing crimes.
Every member of the Magic Bean Club must learn the Criminal Law. I will find my friend Zhang San's teaching videos as teaching materials for the training class. As for other matters related to the training class, you will be in charge of arranging them!
Once this class starts, we will conduct regular exams. Those who fail the first time will have their monthly salary deducted.
If the second attempt fails, the finger is cut off.
The third time someone fails to meet the standard, their leg will be broken, and they will be expelled from the company!
Did you understand?
"Yes, President, I understand!" Kitagawa Kokenji said with utmost respect.
The islanders' admiration for strength is vividly displayed in Kitagawa Kenji.
At this time, Kitagawa Kokenji greatly admired Hou Wenjie's actions, but at the same time harbored deep hatred for him.
As described in the book "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword," the people of the island are beautiful yet militaristic, polite yet combative, obedient yet untamed, and fond of novelty yet stubborn!
Although Kitagawa Kokenji appeared extremely obedient to Hou Wenjie, he also had an untamed side deep down, a side that concerned his dignity and was etched with his hatred.
This hatred will never be extinguished, which is precisely the stubborn and belligerent nature of the islanders.
After Kitagawa Kokenji gave his report, Takemoto Atsuki stood up and said:
"President, when I took over a block, I encountered the Matsuba-kai. Although we eventually scared them off, I don't think they'll let it go!"
Hou Wenjie smiled and said, "No gang will dare to cause trouble during this period of time, even if they risk the Metropolitan Police Department's crackdown. The Songye Association is at most a small fry."
Of course, instead of passively defending, we should take the initiative!
On the one hand, we need to seek the support of the authorities and win over more members of parliament!
"Digging up dirt, using coercion and bribery—I don't care what methods you use, but I hope you do it well!"
Hou Wenjie paused here, looking directly at Takemoto Atsushi.
Takemoto Atsuki straightened his back and said, "Yes, President, I will definitely do it well."
"Very good!" Hou Wenjie nodded, then looked at Pu Shangyouren, who had a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, and said:
"I'm also planning to start a marketing company!"
The staff of this company can be drawn from the company's public relations team.
This company needs to continuously release unfavorable information about our enemies online whenever the organization needs it, guiding public opinion and plunging them into a sea of injustice against the island's people!
At the same time, this company also needs to market the image of our Magic Bean Group and portray it as an outstanding enterprise with a sense of social responsibility!
"I'm leaving this matter to you, Youren. Can you handle it well?"
Pu Shangyouren had waited a long time for this day, and now that the president had finally entrusted him with an important task, how could he say no!
So he stood up, straightened his back, and said resolutely, "President, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
"Hmm!" Hou Wenjie nodded, tapping his fingers on the table as he pondered what else needed to be added.
The small conference room fell silent. Everyone lowered their heads, and the only sound was Hou Wenjie tapping on the table.
After a long while, Hou Wenjie raised his head and looked at everyone, then said:
"I think it's a bit inappropriate to mention marketing companies earlier. If you keep trying to create a good image, there will eventually be flaws!"
Moreover, being portrayed as an innocent and pure person means that even a small thing we do can be magnified and have a devastating impact on our reputation.
I've been thinking about it, and we could totally fund a magic bean version of "Yakuza"!
If we make it into a TV series, we'll cast members from our club as the main characters!
With such a mix of truth and falsehood, it's very difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference!
The first series was called "The Yakuza People in the Jianghu"!
Whether this series becomes popular or not, we will continue to do it!
I believe that one day it will become a memory for a generation, which will directly affect the impression of our Magic Bean Society in the minds of ordinary people on the island.
Furthermore, I believe that once this impression is formed, it is very difficult to destroy!
When all ordinary people think of us as just a film and television company with some gang background, we can pull ourselves out of the darkness and into the light!
We can record records for each member of the main cast of "Yakuza", package them as idols, sell their merchandise, and even their emojis, as well as emojis of other minor characters, which can all be sold!
This is a long-term plan, and we cannot afford to fail!
At this point, Hou Wenjie's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on Kanna Shin, and he said:
"Shen, you did a great job with the casting task I gave you before. Now, you're in charge of casting and directing the Yakuza series. Can you handle it?"
Shin Kanna didn't expect luck to come his way so quickly. He quickly stood up, straightened his back, and promised, "President, I will definitely complete the mission."
At this moment, Takemoto Atsuki lowered his head, his eyes filled with a complex expression.
He had long since figured out the casting controversy and realized that his trusted subordinate, Shin Kanai, had already betrayed him.
But he had neither the ability nor the courage to retaliate against Shin Kanai, because Shin Kanai himself was just a pawn, a catalyst for integrating the Magic Bean Society.
In his heart, the ultimate truth of everything was actually the president's unwavering will to strengthen the club.
This made him even more in awe of the president, who was not only unmatched in strength at such a young age, but whose methods were also chilling.
Just last night, this president personally oversaw the downfall of a large guild that had dominated Kyoto for decades. How heroic!
As the president of a small club, Takemoto Atsuki had never had any grand plans before.
In his eyes, joining a gang was nothing more than being brave and violent, and that fists could solve all problems.
It wasn't until he joined the club president that he understood how to truly build a fighting force!
A well-structured organization and clearly defined rules!
Other initiatives include organizing members to conduct battlefield training in Bagan, and numerous other plans that have been proposed recently!
All of this came together, making Takemoto Atsuki realize that perhaps he was no longer the same as before, and perhaps he was participating in the beginning of an era belonging to the Magic Bean Society.
After the meeting ended, Kitagawa Kokenji stayed behind alone.
He reported, "President, the first youth film in the God of War's Son-in-Law series has been completed. Would you like to take a look?"
Although Hou Wenjie wrote the script, he currently has no desire to watch a youth film.
So he asked, "What do you think of the production?"
Kitagawa Kenji said:
"Director Muranishi is one of the best directors in the world of youth films, and I think he created the atmosphere of this film very well."
Each character's personality is also vividly portrayed, creating a strong sense of tension.
Furthermore, the actor who plays the male lead, Yuki, and the actress who plays the female lead, Ms. Fukada, have collaborated on 25 dramas in two years. Their teamwork is incredibly smooth, which is reflected in the drama, with their several scenes together being nothing short of perfect.
The actor who plays the God of War, Suzuki, is also recognized as the most handsome actor in youth films. Not only is he good-looking, but he also delivers a good performance in this drama.
The role of the female lead's mother is played by Ms. Riko Kitagawa, a role that presented almost no challenge for Ms. Kitagawa, who frequently plays mothers.
Moreover, she can easily capture the unique charm of a 40-year-old woman, a beauty that comes exclusively from mature women.
If we compare a young girl to a delicate flower, she needs careful nurturing to finally bloom.
Then, Kitagawa Riko is like a piece of dry tinder; she only needs a small spark to ignite a raging fire.
Her charm was on full display in the first film of this series!
