Chapter 990: Trying to cover up the obvious
Around the warehouse in the night, it seemed as if even the air had frozen, and only the occasional night breeze could break the silence. The Fujita family's secret guards were like ghosts in the night, hiding in every corner, always alert to everything around them. Their every move was as accurate as a precision machine.
At this time, a sentry keenly noticed the movement coming from afar. He quickly looked over and saw flashlights flashing in the night, accompanied by muffled footsteps, and a group of people in black combat uniforms approaching the warehouse. His heart tightened, and he immediately realized that this might be someone from the Uncut Jade Agency.
He responded quickly, sending someone to notify the warehouse guards while leading seven or eight burly men to meet the people from the Uncut Jade Agency. Their steps were steady and powerful, with unquestionable determination on their faces.
When Lingjiang Xu and his men walked in front of Asanogawa, he stopped. He stared at Asanogawa with a sharp gaze and shouted, "This is a private property. No one is welcome to visit. Please leave immediately!"
Asano Gawa raised his head and his eyes met Ling Jiangxu's. He looked at the burly men in front of him, and his mind raced. For such a hidden warehouse to have a secret sentry on night watch, there must be some great secret hidden behind it.
He sneered and said, "I am from the Uncut Jade Agency, and I have been ordered to search the Fujita family's assets. This should be the Fujita family's warehouse, right?"
Ling Jiangxu's expression froze when he heard this. He had never expected that these people were actually from the Uncut Jade Agency.
He said without giving in: "Even if you are from the Jade Organization, so what? I haven't received any notification from the family, so no one can enter!"
Asano Gawa looked at Lingjiang Xu's vigilant eyes, and his guess became more and more certain. Perhaps what he was looking for was in this warehouse.
With a sneer, he asked, "What if I must go in? So what?"
Ling Jiangxu's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, as if to calm himself down.
Lingjiang Xu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Asanogawa, I understand your responsibilities. But this is the private property of the Fujita family. We are not obliged to open it to you. If you break in by force, it will be a provocation to us. I believe that the Fujita family will not sit idly by."
In front of the warehouse at night, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Asanogawa pulled out his service pistol, the gun body reflecting the moonlight, flashing a cold light. He gave an order, and his voice echoed in the night sky like thunder: "The Puyu Agency is performing its duties, and no one can hinder it! If anyone refuses to cooperate, then subdue them and force their way in!"
Following Asanogawa's order, the members of the special operations team drew their weapons one after another, pointed their guns outward, and formed an indestructible line of defense. Their eyes revealed unquestionable determination, as if they were ready to face the upcoming battle at any time.
Seeing this, Lingjiang Xu did not hesitate to lead his men to draw their guns. They formed a standoff with Asanogawa and others, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Lingjiang Xu's eyes flashed with an unyielding light. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
"Mr. Asanogawa, why are you doing this?" Ling Jiangxu's voice echoed in the night sky, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his tone, "I'm just a small warehouse guard, but I also have my responsibilities. You're only making things worse by doing this."
Asanogawa narrowed his eyes and looked at Lingjiang Xu in front of him, his eyes revealing disdain and ridicule. "A small warehouse guard actually has a gun? This really opens my eyes." He sneered and continued, "However, this also proves that there is indeed a problem with your Fujita family. Otherwise, how could even a guard be so cautious?"
Ling Jiangxu said with a stiff face: "I am the guard of Fujita Trading Company. It is legal for the guards of Fujita Trading Company to carry guns. We have the right to protect our property from being violated."
Asanogawa shouted sternly: "Enough! If you dare to hinder us again, you will bear the consequences! Get out of the way if you know what's good for you!" His voice was as piercing as an ice blade, making people shudder.
Ling Jiang Xu estimated that the messenger should have delivered the information, and the family should have been preparing a response. He had to try his best to delay time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. So, he said, "Mr. Asanogawa, I don't want to interfere with public affairs. But first, I can't confirm your identity; second, this warehouse is not allowed to be entered without the master's password. I am also doing my duty, please understand."
Asanogawa's face darkened when he heard this. He held the gun tightly, his finger almost ready to pull the trigger. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, as if to calm himself down. "Lingjiang Xu, you are challenging the authority of the Jade Agency! I'll give you one last chance, get out of the way!"
Lingjiang Xu looked at Asanogawa without flinching.
"Mr. Asanogawa, I understand your position. But I also have my own duties and mission. I cannot allow anyone to infringe upon the property and interests of the Fujita family. Please forgive me for not obeying your order."
The atmosphere between the two sides became increasingly tense, as if a string had been stretched to its limit and could break at any time. A fierce conflict seemed to be imminent.
Just as Asano was about to give the order, Lingjiang Xu spoke again. His voice was particularly clear in the tense confrontation: "Wait a minute, Mr. Asano, I don't think you want to offend our Fujita family, right? Give me ten minutes, I will report this to the head of the family. As long as he agrees to let you in, I will have no objection. In addition, I need to see your documents to confirm your identity."
Ling Jiangxu's words were filled with urgency and pleading. He knew that the situation was tense and that a fierce conflict could be triggered if he was not careful. He tried to ease the tense atmosphere by making reasonable requests, while also buying himself more time.
Asanogawa heard this and weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that the Fujita family had great power in Kyoto and could not be easily offended.
But Ling Jiangxu's obstruction always gave him a feeling that the secret was only exposed after an attempt to hide it, which made him more convinced that there was an unspeakable secret hidden in this warehouse.
After thinking for a moment, Asanogawa spoke coldly: "Okay, I'll give you ten minutes. But you have to remember, this is your last chance. After ten minutes, if there is still no result, I will bring people to break in. As for the documents, I can show them to you, but you must also guarantee that I can get a definite reply within ten minutes."
As he spoke, Asanogawa took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to Lingjiang Xu.
Ling Jiangxu took the certificate, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Asano, don't worry, I will report this matter to the head of the family as soon as possible. Please wait a moment."
