Chapter 330: Chapter 330: I Want to Punish You
The gray industry chain has expanded overseas, with white gloves and an assassin organization under its command.
Takeuchi Aimi was assassinated.
The minions at home dared to target Lin Wan.
The team transporting the evidence was completely wiped out, except for Lin Wan and Hong Liang.
Against Lin Wan’s route, they used remote bombs, gunmen, drone machine guns, and assassins ambushed in business vehicles.
They actually dared to make a move outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo City.
In the situation where Hatanaka Shingo couldn’t be saved and might expose himself, they directly sent people to assassinate Hatanaka Shingo, and out of rage, also sent assassins to kill Lin Wan and Hong Liang to vent their anger.
Then, considering the prominent identities of the Matsushima Clan and Matsushima River on the surface...
From reputation to credentials to connections, no matter how you look at it, this is a top-level boss in the real world.
Theoretically, even if you could topple or kill him, it would be incredibly difficult, time-consuming, and one would have no idea of the cost needed to counter his backlash.
The result...
This big BOSS in front of me is lying quietly here, completely unaware, allowing me to take what I want...
Pah!
Lu Zheng shook his head; he was just lamenting the fact that something theoretically very difficult turned out to be so simple.
The answer is... he’s just too strong...
I really am a genius!
Lu Zheng chuckled, looking at this big figure in front of him, without any intention of showing off; he simply sneered, his Heart Spirit moved, and he executed a Golden Palace Heart Sword, killing the opponent with a single stroke.
Soul Search again!
He indeed found the contact information for that assassin organization.
"So that’s how it is?" Lu Zheng nodded in understanding, "This makes things simple."
He originally thought there might be some kind of worldwide shared assassin platform, where he needed to cancel orders using Matsushima River’s identity or something like that.
Isn’t this how online novels are written?
Unexpectedly, this assassin organization was actually a small one supported by the Matsushima Family specifically for their own services.
"Since that’s the case, just take out the leader of the assassin organization, the rest are just headless flies, not worth worrying about."
As for the task of killing Lin Wan...
The one who issued the task is dead, the leader of the organization is dead, the assassins executing the task are dead...
Task? What task?
Lu Zheng pondered for a moment, admired the person beside Matsushima River for a few more moments, then used the Invisibility Technique and quietly left Pine Island Manor.
As for wiping out the Matsushima Clan, or collecting Matsushima River’s criminal evidence?
Hehe, don’t joke...
The first thing is not to mention, don’t go around wiping out whole families, Lu Zheng isn’t that violent, and he wants to enjoy a modern leisurely life.
Ahem, the last time that was an accident, Lu Zheng didn’t want to expose himself.
Additionally, only doing the second option would also expose the connection between the Matsushima Clan and this case, simultaneously raising suspicions about Matsushima River’s death.
After all, it involves Lin Wan; what if it draws attention, and they investigate her?
What if they relate it to that family extermination case in Italy?
Lu Zheng wasn’t planning on doing that; he’d already dealt with the culprits and avenged, and now he just needed to distance himself and Lin Wan from it all. Why should he bother removing Japan’s parasites?
Lu Zheng felt that for people who thought their lives were good in Japan, they needed such people to rule them, which was fine.
...
Following Matsushima River’s memory, Lu Zheng arrived at a high-rise apartment in Tokyo City Center, where he saw a calm, middle-aged man working diligently in front of a computer.
Without saying a word, his True Qi moved, directly bursting the man’s cerebral blood vessels.
Brain hemorrhage! Straight to the top of the skull!
With a "thud".
The middle-aged man didn’t even grunt, he just collapsed onto the table in front of him.
Lu Zheng clapped his hands, done!
A patriarch from a top family passed away in his sleep due to old age and weakness, without any illness.
A leader of an assassin organization died at home from a sudden brain hemorrhage.
Two individuals who, both financially and in terms of influence, surpassed Lu Zheng, yet in front of Lu Zheng had not a trace of resistance.
They didn’t even know how they died.
"Feels even easier than with Tony!" Lu Zheng muttered to himself, "Is it that I’ve become stronger, or are they just too weak?"
With matters solved, I can continue to happily wander around Akihabara tomorrow.
...
"How did it go?"
As soon as Lu Zheng entered the hotel room, Lin Wan immediately came up to him.
"Uh..."
Lu Zheng was about to speak but suddenly froze.
"What happened!"
Seeing Lu Zheng suddenly freeze, Lin Wan was startled as well. Judging by Lu Zheng’s abilities, there shouldn’t be any mishaps, right?
Could it be...
"You got exposed?"
Lin Wan asked nervously, "Were you seen by someone, or caught on surveillance?"
"Uh... neither..."
Lu Zheng blinked, suddenly remembering that Lin Wan had said to get her involved if he planned to act, but everything went so smoothly that he didn’t actually prepare or plan much and solved it all step by step.
"Then what happened?" Lin Wan asked with a worried face.
"Well... it’s like this..."
Lu Zheng pulled Lin Wan to sit, "Hatanaka Shingo is dead, not by my hands, but by an assassin sent by Matsushima River."
"Matsushima River?" Lin Wan clearly knew this figure, her gaze sharpened, "Hatanaka Shingo was backed by Matsushima River?"
"Yes!" Lu Zheng nodded, "They were exposed on this point, so I went to Pine Island Manor again... and then..."
Lin Wan: ???
Lu Zheng then roughly outlined the events to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan: !!!
After Lu Zheng finished, Lin Wan remained silent.
Lu Zheng held Lin Wan’s hand, "I was just too smooth and forgot what you said, I’ll pay attention next time."
Lin Wan was speechless...
"So you’re saying, Interpol and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department spent a year, sacrificed several officers’ lives, and you figured out the mastermind in one night and even dealt with him?"
"Well, he was in his seventies or eighties, still had the energy to sleep with young models, and thus died peacefully." Lu Zheng quickly emphasized.
Lin Wan rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng.
"So, this matter is over, there will be no more assassins coming after you." Lu Zheng smiled.
"But with Hatanaka Shingo dead, this case is over too." Lin Wan said, "It’s like an unsolved case."
Lu Zheng shrugged, "That’s the Police Headquarters’ problem, what’s it got to do with us?"
Lin Wan thought about it and also realized that she had no position to present evidence related to Matsushima River and the assassin organization.
If Matsushima River hadn’t been so self-destructive and simply assassinated Hatanaka Shingo, perhaps he could still roam free, unfortunately...
"If that’s the case, so be it!" Lin Wan said crisply, "But..."
"But what?"
Lin Wan lightly bit her lip, her voice suddenly turned sultry, "But... you ignored my words, didn’t take my words to heart, so... I have to punish you! I have to punish you severely!"
"Hiss—"
