Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel

“The person who attacked me wasn’t weak. I couldn’t even see them beforehand!” Ding Wenfeng said as he touched the back of his head, putting on an embarrassed expression.

I nodded to him. Although this guy was a perverted f***, his skills weren’t in name only, nor was he weak. Someone who could deal with him couldn’t be any unknown person! This affair was becoming more complicated!

Perhaps, it wasn’t just a random kidnapping but a targeted plan. The only issue was the person getting targeted. Was it me, or Wang Shu? The possibility of Ding Wenfeng getting targeted was far too low as this guy hadn’t gone outside much, nor did he clash with anyone since we arrived in Japan!

Sawai Toji and his confidant couldn’t be the suspects. With their guts, it was impossible for them to do something like this. The only conclusion was another group of people who did this!

I couldn’t help but feel anxious. We were in Japan, and I wasn’t that familiar with the country, or its local forces… Wait, I am not familiar with it doesn’t mean others aren’t familiar either!

I had heard Gou Qing tell me about his plan “East Asian Underworld Co-Prosperity Circle” a while back. Japan was one of his main destination for infiltration of his forces. I wonder how this plan of his is right now.

Thinking till here, I immediately called Guo Qing. It was a number that could be used to contact Guo Qing no matter where he was as Guo Qing traveled a lot so he made sure that his number would remain active and same, changing to a local number automatically.

“Hello! Who might you be looking for?” Guo Qing wasn’t familiar with the number I was using now, so he made a routine inquiry.

“Li’l Guo, where are you right now?” As soon as I saw the call connect, I asked impatiently.

“Ah! Boss, It’s you! I am in Japan, grabbing territory and people over to our side… Right, Boss, how come your number displayed on my phone is also Japanese?” Guo Qing asked strangely.

“You are also in Japan? That’s great! I am looking for someone right now. I am in Suwon, where are you?” I asked.

“I am in Jingdong. It will take half an hour to drive to Suwon. You should wait for me, I will be there as soon as possible!” Guo Qing said.

“There won’t be any problems on your side?” I asked.

“No problem!” Saying this, Guo Qing turned to the nearby subordinate and said to him indifferently, “After a while, the Sankou Gang members will come here for negotiation. Explain the conditions to them clearly. If they don’t agree, then kill them directly and bring our people to sweep through their hideouts. Wash Jingdong in blood tonight!”

……………

After half an hour, I met Guo Qing at the entrance of the Suwon Hotel. The guy was wearing a flowery shirt, and a flowery trouser, appearing just like a holidaymaker. There was no way for anyone to associate him with the leader of one of the biggest international gangs!

Following Guo Qing was a typical Japanese man. As soon as he saw me, he gave me a ninety-degree bow and said in fluent Chinese, “Boss’s Big Boss, this lowly one is Heng Lujing Ba!”

Cross Road J8? F***, these people sure have a great sense for names, Ah!{TL Note: https://bit.ly/2LeQEjI Liu Lei read his name as Henglu[Cross Road] J[don’t know how Jing turned to J] Ba[8] }

“He is my newly accepted subordinate, also the head of Three-Rock Gang in Suwon City. He’s a Japanese Traitor!” Guo Qing explained.

Japanese Traitor? I had heard about Chinese Traitors, but who would have known the geomancy transferred countries! Was it popular being a traitor nowadays!

“Hello! Our great guest from great China! If you have any matter you want to be done, you can tell me about it. I will do it all for you!” Heng Lujing Ba started to flatter me like a grandson.

I hadn’t thought this place would be under Guo Qing’s sphere of influence. This Heng Lujing Ba was the local gangster, so asking him to use his influence and search for Wang Shu should make everything much easier!

“Heng Lujing Ba, you and your people sure have immense guts!” I said while putting on a malevolent expression.

“AH! This lowly one……” Heng Lujing Ba was stunned by my sudden anger, but he still had a respectful expression as he bent down respectfully.

Guo Qing thought that Heng Lujing Ba had offended me somehow, and his face sank. He immediately raised Heng Lujing Ba forcefully, and said, “B a s t a r d, how the f*** did you dare offend our Boss?”

“……” Heng Lujing Ba really didn’t know what had happened, but his disposition of consistently acting service still made him have a respectful and humble expression.

“Alright!” I waved to Guo Qing who received my hint and put down Heng Lujing Ba, then I said, “Perhaps I made a mistake, and it might not have anything to do with Heng Lujing Ba!”

Heng Lujing Ba kept looking towards me gratefully.

“A friend of mine had been kidnapped and locked in the basement of Yunjing Building, but she was kidnapped by someone else now! I wonder if it was done by one of your people?” I looked into Heng Lujing Ba.

However, there was no change in Heng Lujing Ba’s eyes. It appeared he wasn’t related to this matter, nor were his cronies.

“Kidnapping? My people didn’t do it, but I will go and overturn the entire city to search for your friend! As long as the person is still inside Suwon City, I promise to find them for you!” To get rid of my suspicions, Heng Lujing Ba smacked his chest and promised.

I just nodded. In fact, the act before was just to swindle him and make him work harder. After all, if I don’t give him any pressure, who could guarantee he would work with all his force!

Heng Lujing Ba immediately contacted his gang and ordered them to investigate the matter throughout the city. Time slowly passed, and it was already past midnight, yet there was still no news.

The relation between Ding Wenfeng and Wang Shu wasn’t much, just an acquaintance, so the only reason he worried for her was that she was a beautiful woman. But it was different for me. After experiencing the warmth on the seashore, I don’t regard Wang Shu as just someone I have a favorable impression of, instead, she was now one of my good friends. If she got into trouble, it was impossible for me to stay still and do nothing!

As Guo Qing saw my anxious expression, he wanted to comfort me but didn’t know what to say. He just sat beside me and kept on staring at his phone, waiting for the call from Heng Lujing Ba, prepared to pick it up as soon as the phone rang.

At this time, my brain was churning at maximum speed. Who could it be? Just who would want to kidnap Wang Shu? It could be said that today was the first day I met Wang Shu after arriving in Japan. If the other party was targeting me, then it seemed a bit unreasonable to kidnap her. Not only that, the only enemy Wang Shu had was Sawai Toji because she had always been studying in China since young…

All along, ever since I have been reborn, I have been in control of every situation in China. Situ Liang, Liu Keshen, Lei Xiaolong, and the other enemies were always in the open, and I have never had to worry or be nervous when dealing with all these matters!

However, this enemy hiding in the dark gave me a scare now! It made me feel what real danger is! I have had this feeling since Xu Ruoyun had that accident. Although I was invincible and no one could harm me, the people around me were different. It was impossible for them to contend against an enemy by themselves. That’s why I appointed additional forces to protect my several wives and family every second of the day or night. I even placed the informers of Three-Rock Gang around them for immediate reports if something happened. {TL Note: Xu Ruoyun almost died at the hands of that Li Bao…something. Later, Liu Lei also left his body and brought her soul back and revived her.}

But now, it hadn’t been too long since Wang Shu left me to go home, yet this matter happened. It showed that my awareness of danger wasn’t enough! Now I regretted not taking Wang Shu to her home even after she told me that Sawai Toji was hostile towards her.
