Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1005 It’s a mess

Outside the warehouse compound, two sturdy Mitsui family spies were like ghosts in the night, quietly hiding in the dark, and taking in the conflict between Pu Yu and the Fujita family from beginning to end. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and every detail could not escape their observation.

One of the spies, who was a little thin, lowered his voice and said to his companion beside him: "Did you see that? Fujita Ying has been taken away. The blame has been firmly placed on the Fujita family."

His companion, a burly man with a stern face, nodded slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Yes, Pu Yu was ruthless this time. Fujita Ying, this arrogant and brainless guy, has fallen into a big trap this time."

The skinny spy sneered, "Humph, the Fujita family has always relied on their status in the business world to act arrogantly. This time, they have met a tough opponent."

The burly spy was silent for a moment, then said, "We have to go back quickly and report the details to Master Shou."

After saying this, the two figures quickly disappeared into the darkness, as if they had never existed.

At this time, the sky was just getting light, and the night had not yet completely faded. In a teahouse in Kyoto, Mitsui Shou, who had not slept all night, was sitting opposite Xiong Chang, the director of the Special Intelligence Department of Kyoto, China. The teahouse was filled with a faint scent of tea, and the two of them were sipping tea while waiting for the latest news.

Mitsui Shou had a handsome face, and his eyes revealed a kind of depth and wisdom. He took a sip of tea and said, "Director Xiong, how do you think this incident will develop?"

Xiong Chang smiled slightly, his eyes were equally sharp: "The Fujita family is in big trouble this time. The Uncut Jade Organization is not something they can easily provoke."

Mitsui Shou nodded, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes: "You are right. The Fujita family has always been competing with our Mitsui family for dominance in the business world. This time, they have suffered a big setback."

At this moment, the door of the tea room was gently pushed open, and the butler walked in. He walked to Mitsui Shou's side and whispered the whole story to him.

After listening to the butler's narration, Mitsui Shou curled up the corner of his mouth with a sneer: "So, Fujita Ying, this arrogant and brainless guy, has been taken away by the rough jade? Asano Gawa has always been ruthless, I guess Fujita Ying is bound to be in trouble."

The butler nodded, with a gloating look in his eyes: "Yes, the Fujita family has suffered a big setback this time. However, the head of the family, Fujita Shou, has already rushed to Pu Yu. He should come forward in person to explain the matter and exonerate the Fujita family."

Mitsui Shou sneered: "Humph, what if Fujita Shou showed up? This incident has completely angered Pu Yu. It won't be easy for the Fujita family to get rid of this trouble easily."

On the other side, when Asanogawa stepped into the Puyu headquarters, he passed through a series of cold metal doors and finally came to an office with simple decoration but extraordinary style. Asanogawa knocked on the door gently, and after getting permission, he walked in.

In the office, Hong Yuzhang, the top officer of Pu Yu, was sitting behind a large desk, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through people's hearts. Asanogawa stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and then reported in detail the whole story and the key evidence they had obtained in this operation.

"Sir, we searched the Fujita family's secret warehouse and found not only advanced printing equipment, a large amount of ink and paper, but more importantly, we also found a half-printed 'Kyoto Secret Report'."

Hong Yuzhang's expression instantly became excited. He slammed the table, his eyes flashing with anger and determination. "So, the instigator of this Kyoto secret report incident is Fujita Ying, or the entire Fujita family? They are so bold that they dare to openly challenge the authority of the royal family!"

Asanogawa nodded, a rare seriousness showing on his face: "At present, it seems to be true. The irrefutable evidence is enough to nail the Fujita family to the pillar of shame in history."

Hong Yuzhang stood up and began to pace back and forth in the room. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to vent his inner excitement and nervousness. He murmured to himself, "This is great. Pu Yu finally found the source of the secret report from Kyoto within the time limit set by the Prime Minister. My life is finally saved."

At this point, Hong Yuzhang suddenly stopped and looked at Asanogawa with a sharp gaze: "Asanogawa, you must protect these evidences. The Fujita family has a lot of influence in the business world, and they will never give up. We must ensure that these evidences are foolproof and never let them have the chance to destroy them."

Asanogawa looked determined. He bowed slightly and saluted, "Don't worry, sir. I have arranged everything. Every link from the warehouse to here is guarded by special personnel. There will be no omissions. Next, we just need to interrogate Fujita Ying and get his accurate confession. Then we can completely determine the nature of this matter."

Hearing this, Hong Yuzhang showed a satisfied smile on his face. He patted Asanogawa on the shoulder and said with some appreciation: "Very good, you did a good job. You have made an indelible contribution to this operation. When it is over, I will report your achievements to the Prime Minister."

Just as Hong Yuzhang sternly told Asanogawa to immediately conduct a thorough interrogation of those involved in the warehouse incident and Fujita Ying, the office door was gently pushed open, and the assistant walked in hurriedly with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness on his face. "Sir, the head of the Fujita family, Fujita Hisashi, is here in person, accompanied by Minister Sanyang Zhong of the cabinet and Lieutenant General Ono Kenkawa of the military."

Hong Yuzhang frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise and deep thought flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? The Fujita family's reputation is much greater than I thought. Even the cabinet minister and the second-in-command of the military have shown up in person." He whispered to himself, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if weighing the weight behind this sudden meeting.

After a moment's silence, Hong Yuzhang raised his head and said, "Go, ask them to come to my office and tell them that I want to have a face-to-face meeting with them to get to the bottom of the matter."

The assistant took the order and left. Soon he appeared at the gate of Pu Yu Courtyard, greeted Fujita Hisahi and his party, and politely but firmly conveyed Hong Yuzhang's invitation.

Fujita Hisashi, a man in his sixties but still energetic, was wearing a traditional kimono and had a calm face. He nodded slightly, and said in a gentle but powerful voice: "Thank you for conveying your message, we will go there right away."

Following Kobayashi's lead, Fujita Hisashi and his three companions walked into Hong Yuzhang's office.

Fujita Shou spoke first, with a hint of respect in his voice: "Lord Hong Yuzhang, I have a reason for my sudden visit today. The whole family is deeply saddened by the matter of Fujita Ying, and we also hope that it can be dealt with fairly."

Sanyangzhong and Ono Jianchuan remained silent, obviously waiting for Hong Yuzhang's response.

Hong Yuzhang slowly stood up and glanced at the three people one by one. His tone was calm but revealed an unquestionable firmness: "Don't worry, Chief Fujita, no matter who is involved, I will handle it impartially and will never let the truth be buried. Please be patient, let's sit down and talk in detail."
