Makino Tenki kicked open the door. The guards lying haphazardly in the corridor were as silent as corpses. His temples throbbed, the veins on his neck bulged, and his hair was a mess, sticking to his forehead which was beaded with cold sweat.
"Baka!" he roared, the echo reverberating through the empty corridor.
Makino Tenki's trembling fingers pressed the phone's shortcut key, almost shattering the screen: "Ota! Get to my room right now! Now! Immediately!"
Less than three minutes later, Takeshi Ota appeared at the end of the corridor, panting heavily, his suit and tie askew, clearly having been urgently woken from his sleep. When he saw the guards lying unconscious on the floor, his face turned deathly pale.
"Young Master Makino, this...this..."
"Shut up!" Makino Tenki slapped Ota Takeshi across the face, leaving five bright red finger marks. "This is your 'foolproof' security? All my guards were taken down, and I was completely unaware inside the room!"
Takeshi Ota bowed deeply, his forehead almost touching his knees: "I am extremely sorry! I will investigate this matter thoroughly immediately!"
"Investigate??" Makino Tenki sneered, grabbing a unconscious guard by the collar and shaking him. "You managed to take care of even my Makino family's elite guards without a sound. What do you think you can find out?"
Ota Takeshi maintained his ninety-degree bow, his shirt soaked with cold sweat. As the head of the summit's organizers, he had the Matsui family backing him, but he was also well aware of the Makino family's influence in Japan. If Makino Tenki persisted in pursuing the matter, his career would end tonight, or perhaps in an even more tragic way.
Footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor, and several figures approached, including Han Feng: "What's going on? It's so noisy..."
Makino Tenki instantly put on a businesslike smile and released the guard's hand: "I'm very sorry to disturb your rest. There's just a minor issue here, and we're handling it."
Han Feng stepped forward feigning concern and asked, "Is someone sick? Should we call an ambulance?"
Takeshi Ota quickly stepped forward to block Han Feng's view: "No need, no need, it's just... uh... a security drill! Yes, a routine nighttime drill!"
"Oh..." Han Feng nodded, his face full of concern. "Your country's security is truly rigorous. Do you need any help?"
"No need, thank you very much for your kindness." Makino Tenki bowed slightly, his smile flawless. "Good night."
Watching Han Feng return to his room, Mu Ye Tianji's expression immediately darkened: "Retrieve all the surveillance footage immediately! I want to see the investigation report by tomorrow morning!"
Ota Takeshi, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, bowed repeatedly and retreated. Makino Tenki stood in the middle of the corridor, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. This blatant provocation, this subtle humiliation... it must have been done by either Ikegami or the Miyamoto family!
Back in the suite, Han Feng gently closed the door, a smile playing on his lips. Inside, Liu Xiaoran and Su Wanwan were sitting at a mahjong table, a freshly shuffled deck of cards in front of them.
"How was it?" Su Wanwan lowered her voice, her eyes shining brightly.
"You acted very well." Han Feng made an "OK" gesture. "Our young master Mu Ye is furious."
Liu Xiaoran's lips twitched slightly, which was practically a laugh to him. He pushed over the tiles in front of him: "A pure suit, I win."
"Damn! You cheated!" Su Wanwan's eyes widened. "This is the third time!"
Han Feng sat down and joined the game. The three of them appeared relaxed while playing mahjong, but their ears were perked up, listening to the sounds outside. Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps and the buzzing of walkie-talkies came from the corridor. Ota Takeshi and his security team had begun their investigation.
"Is the surveillance footage cleared?" Han Feng asked in a low voice, printing out a three-of-a-kind card.
Su Wanwan winked smugly: "You don't trust me to help?"
Liu Xiaoran touched three of them and said calmly, "Mu Ye Tianji won't let this go so easily."
"Of course not." Han Feng drew a card. "So we need to..."
"Wait a minute!" Su Wanwan suddenly interrupted, pointing at the card Liu Xiaoran had just played, "Were you bluffing just now? That wasn't a pure suit at all!"
Liu Xiaoran remained expressionless: "You've misunderstood."
While the group was "intensely" arguing about the card game, Makino Tenki was standing in front of the suite's floor-to-ceiling window, his phone pressed to his ear.
"Father, that's what happened." He finished reporting in polite language, his voice laced with suppressed anger. "This is clearly a provocation against the Makino family!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Makino Yuta's voice was as calm as a still well: "Tenki, you were too impulsive."
"But Father!"
"Let me finish." Makino Yuta's voice, though not angry, carried an air of authority. "The new energy project is at a crucial stage, and His Majesty the Emperor is personally overseeing it. Breaking ties with the other two now will only give those wolves in China an opportunity."
Makino Tenki took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "What about tonight..."
"I'll send Kurosaki to you tomorrow. He's at the early stage of the Day After Tomorrow Realm, seventh level, which is enough to handle most situations." Makino Yuta paused. "As for the investigation, let that good-for-nothing Ota Takeshi do the show. We'll handle the real investigation ourselves."
"You mean...?"
"The Ikegami and Miyamoto families have been getting too close to China lately," Makino Yuta's voice suddenly turned cold. "If I find out they're involved in tonight's events..."
Makino Tenki unconsciously straightened his back: "I understand, Father."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Ye Tianji looked at the two female students lying on the ground and a surge of lust rose in his heart. He roughly pulled the two girls up. The two girls had just experienced such a change and had not yet calmed down, so they resisted a little.
"Baka! Didn't you pay enough? Serve me properly." Makino Tenki slapped one of them. The girl covered her cheek, and thinking about how generous the other party was, she and the other girl worked very hard to pull down Makino Tenki's pants. However, no matter how hard they tried, Makino Tenki could not lift his head.
"Uh, Young Master Makino, have you been too tired lately? You're not responding." The two women stared blankly at Makino Tenki and said.
"You two! Get out of here!" Mu Ye Tianji roared as he kicked the two women out of the room. Looking at his lower body, he drooped his head in disgrace, and then felt a wave of dizziness.
For the next half hour, no matter what he tried, his penis couldn't lift up. He sat on the sofa with a blank stare, looking at his penis that he couldn't stand up. Suddenly, anger surged in his heart, and he fainted.
