Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 984 One problem is better than endless trouble
"Does this look familiar?"

Just as Taiji Oshima finished observing the surroundings, he heard Hideki Hanyu's teasing voice.

Under these circumstances, how could Taiji Oshima dare to answer? He could only awkwardly force a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

However, Hideki Hanyu only asked the question casually and did not intend to pay any further attention to the guy.

After all, by now, the inside information his subordinates had uncovered was no less than what Taiji Oshima knew.

While he was driving to Chiba Prefecture, his men had already begun their operation and launched a surprise attack.

A group of scumbags who only dared to yell at ordinary people were utterly powerless against the force of a regular army and were swept away in a crushing defeat.

Just now at the Xidu Group headquarters, the bodyguard reported this matter to him.

Of course, besides this place, Hideki Yuzuru would not let go of anyone else involved in this matter.

His subordinates targeted the visible figures involved in the matter, while Ogoshi and Fumi's men specifically targeted the yakuza forces involved. In addition, the list written by Oshima Taiji in the car helped him fill in the gaps for those who had slipped through the net.

At this very moment, it is estimated that everyone else outside this factory has also been rounded up and is being sent here.

He's the kind of person who tends to turn a blind eye to minor issues, and as long as things don't escalate too much, he won't take them too seriously.

After all, water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too discerning has no followers.

Those in positions of authority will almost always encounter this situation: a subordinate who is easy to use and very capable will always have some minor problems or flaws.

As long as these minor issues and problems are not serious enough to cross the line or break the rules, generally no one will actually deal with them.

After all, the positive benefits this person has outweigh his problems.

If you deal with one person and then replace them with a new one, it's questionable whether the new person is better than the previous one, especially in terms of ability.

Conversely, if this person crosses the line, breaks the rules, and causes the entire system to decay, making Hideki Hanyu determined to take action, then Hideki Hanyu will show these guys what swift and decisive action is.

The Xidu Group was founded hastily and rose to prominence in a short period of time. Because the forces involved in its founding were a mixed bag, Hideki Yuzuru had long anticipated that internal problems would arise, but he did not expect the problems to erupt so quickly.

Even though multiple investors, along with the group's management and local yakuza forces, joined forces to deceive their superiors and cover up the truth, Hideki Hanyu still heard some rumors long ago.

Hirohashi Asako had suggested he take action immediately, but he refused outright.

What's the point of just catching a couple of kittens?
What he wants to do is to continue to let the cancer grow and get more people involved.

Then he only needed to conduct a covert investigation, cast a wide net and catch as many fish as possible, and solve the problems left over from the founding of Xidu Group in one go.

Now is the time to close the net.

His original plan was to deal with it after accompanying Haruko Naito back from Switzerland.

But his unexpected encounter with Ziana Kolopova made him realize that he could no longer delay and had to act quickly.

He spearheaded the founding of the Xidu Group. Although many shady forces were involved, he never intended to build the Xidu Group into a gray industry.

Because he knew very well that doing business by exploiting legal loopholes and committing crimes to make money were two completely different things.

The former has flaws, but it is upright and has no worries about the future.

The latter will give the opponent countless weaknesses, making the road ahead narrower and more difficult. To cover up one mistake, countless mistakes need to be made, ultimately making progress difficult and unsustainable in the long run.

This is why Hideki Hanyu made up his mind to take action.

After all, he wasn't some saintly, indecisive person who would ruin his business for the sake of a few trafficked foreign illegal immigrants.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu pointed in the direction of the factory and said to Ziana Kolopova, who looked somewhat anxious.

"Go and see if your sister is among them."

Upon hearing this, Ziana Kolopova quickly walked over, but soon returned with a disappointed look, shaking her head at Hideki Hanyu.

"Dalia is not inside."

Upon hearing this, Hideki Yuzuru instructed his subordinates, "Bring the person in charge here."

A moment later, under the eaves of the office building entrance lobby.

Hideki Hanyu sat with his legs crossed in a chair brought by his assistant, playing with the small hand of Ziana Kolopova next to him, watching his subordinates bring a short, stocky man to him.

The man was in his early thirties. Although he was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a typical urban white-collar worker, he still couldn't hide the fierce and vicious aura about him.

This guy had dark skin, a face full of fat, and an arrogant look in his eyes. You could even see a large tattoo on the skin of his neck.

Clearly, this person was sent by the yakuza forces involved in this matter to manage this area.

Looking at this guy, Hideki Yuzuru's face showed great interest, as if he were looking at some rare animal.

After all, such pure "flavor" of yakuza molecules could only be seen in the early Heisei era, before all the recruited men had aged and died.

It's even more accurate than what's shown in movies and TV dramas.

However, Hideki Hanyu ignored the guy and instead asked Marco, who was standing next to him.

"Did you ask where the other undocumented immigrants are?"

Marco replied, pointing to the man who had been brought in, "A group of girls were taken away this morning. Only he knows where they went. Time is short, and we haven't had a chance to interrogate them yet."

Hideki Hanyu nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned to the person who had been brought in and asked, "What's your name?"

The man did not answer, but glared fiercely at Hideki Yuzuru.

Seeing this, Hideki Yuzuru laughed, "Hehe, interesting, it seems you're quite unconvinced."

"Of course I'm not convinced. I was just careless, otherwise you wouldn't have caught me."

The man spoke, displaying the demeanor of a thug eager for a fight.

Although the man did not answer, Marco still told Hideki Hanyu, "His name is Yuji Kuroiwa, and he is the team leader of the Gokuzankai in Chiba Prefecture responsible for Ichihara City."

"Is this club big? I've never heard of it before," Hideki Yuzuru asked.

Marco explained, "It wasn't very large. It used to have close ties with the Yamaguchi-gumi, but after Sumiyoshi expanded into Chiba Prefecture, it was abandoned by the Yamaguchi-gumi."

According to our investigation, Kuroiwa Yuuji was able to serve as the group leader in Ichihara City and be in charge of its management entirely through his personal bravery.

Hideki Yuzuru suddenly realized, "So he's just a lowly scoundrel with nothing but muscles in his head."

In an instant, Hideki Hanyu lost interest in Yuji Kuroiwa.

Marco then reported, "The chairmanship of the Extreme Mountain Society is being handled by people from Daiyue and Shi, and it should be settled by now."

Hideki Yuzuru waved his hand, "I don't care about the specifics, I only care about the results. If they can't even do this, then Ogoshi and Shi don't deserve my support."

However, when Hideki Hanyu was talking to Marco, Yuji Kuroiwa, who had been brought along, felt ignored and insulted when no one paid attention to him.

He immediately shouted, "Hey!! What are you going to do to me?"

Hideki Yuzuru glanced at the other person and said, "Tell me where those girls from this morning were sent."

Unexpectedly, Yuuji Kuroiwa shouted, "Why should I tell you despicable bastards who only know how to ambush!"

Hideki Hanyu was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that this guy who couldn't see the situation clearly really only had muscles in his head.

Having never met such an interesting person before, he wanted to tease them, so he asked, "How can you tell me?"

Yuji Kuroiwa immediately said, "Fight me one-on-one, and I'll tell you if you win."

Upon hearing this, Hideki Hanyu almost lost his mind.

For a moment, he really thought he had traveled into a Japanese action-packed gangster movie.

What did this idiot think he was making such a big fuss about?

Is it for playing a real-life version of a high-octane fighting game?
Hideki Hanyu pointed to himself and asked, "Shall I fight you one-on-one?"

Yuji Kuroiwa said, "That's right, I know you. You're a big shot, the boss of these people. I'm the boss here too, so of course the boss has to fight the boss one-on-one."

"Ha ha……"

Hideki Hanyu burst into laughter. Just as Marco thought Hideki Hanyu was going to refuse and was about to have his men take this fool away and interrogate him,

But then he heard Hideki Hanyu say, "Okay, I'll play with you."

Seeing Hideki Hanyu stand up, take off his baseball uniform, and prepare to challenge Yuji Kuroiwa to a one-on-one match, Marco quickly stopped him.

"boss……"

But before he could finish speaking, Hideki Yuzuru raised his hand to stop him.

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing. It's just for fun, like when you used to play with me. It won't kill anyone to use your fists."

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu was determined to play, Marco had no choice but to have his men untie Yuji Kuroiwa.

Just to be on the safe side, he personally searched Kuroiwa Yuuji again, making sure he had no weapons on him, and almost even took his belt.

After all, Hideki Hanyu is too important to them; the safety of one person involves the livelihoods and safety of countless others.

Faced with trash like Yuji Kuroiwa, even if Hideki Hanyu lost a single hair, Yuji Kuroiwa wouldn't be worth the death.

After stretching his body a bit, Hideki Hanyu stepped forward, beckoned to Yuji Kuroiwa, and said, "Let's begin! Let me see what you're capable of."

His physical condition kept improving, and he learned everything quickly. In his spare time, he often asked Marco for advice on fighting techniques, and he would also spar with someone when he exercised.

My interest in this area over the years has far surpassed that of dance, which I had long since abandoned.

He knew, of course, that as a big boss, neither his bodyguards nor his sparring partners would dare to get serious with him.

But when he was playing with these people, wasn't he also suppressing his physical strength?

After all, a womanizer in bed does so for her own happiness.

However, there is a real lack of motivation to demonstrate physical fitness in other aspects.

Today he encountered a rare oddball, which gave him the urge to give it a try.

As for safety issues?

Looking at the dozens of fully armed bodyguards around him, if he could still get into trouble under these circumstances, he shouldn't even bother going out anymore.

After being provoked by Hideki Hanyu, Yuji Kuroiwa immediately charged over with a shout.

Despite his simple mind, Kuroiwa Yuuji, who rose to the position of group leader through bravery, possesses a wealth of practical experience.

As he charged toward Hideki Hanyu, he had already devised a variety of attack methods in his mind.

However, judging from his appearance, Hideki Hanyu is not the kind of muscular, strong man; on the contrary, he appears somewhat "thin".

So in the end, Yuuji Kuroiwa decided to win by sheer force. As soon as he got close, he threw a punch with all his might.

But the next moment, before Kuroiwa Yuuji could even throw his fist, he felt something hit him in the chest.

Yuji Kuroiwa had no time to react and was sent flying back at an even greater speed than when he went there.

After landing, Yuji Kuroiwa realized that he was now in a place even farther away than when he launched his attack.

Just now... it seems like I was kicked by Hideki Hanyu.

Is it really possible for a human to send someone flying several meters away with a kick?

Yuji Kuroiwa was horrified as he made his judgment, forgetting even the excruciating pain in his ribs.

Based on his practical experience, he must have suffered a fracture.

At that moment, Hideki Yuzuru walked over.

Looking at Kuroiwa Yuuji, whom he had just finished off with a single kick, his face was filled with dissatisfaction.

It's rare to have a real fight under such heavy protection, but the opponent is so weak.

Lacking practical experience, he was completely unable to assess Kuroiwa Yuuji's strength.

Anyway, to him, this guy's attacks were like slow motion, and he couldn't even withstand a single kick from him.

Feeling utterly bored, Hideki Hanyu lowered his head and said to Yuji Kuroiwa, "Now that I've won the one-on-one fight, tell me where they've been taken."

Stunned by the kick, Kuroiwa Yuuji took a moment to react before replying, "You're better than me. Let me tell you, the person taken away this morning was a key actress being groomed by the agency. She was taken away because..."

Here, Yuuji Kuroiwa, completely convinced of his defeat, gave a detailed answer.

Behind Hideki Hanyu, Marco secretly wiped away imaginary sweat from his forehead.

Hideki Hanyu's kick just now would have instantly killed even Kuroiwa Yuji, let alone him.

This shows that when he played with Hideki Hanyu before, he thought he was letting Hideki Hanyu win, but in reality, it was Hideki Hanyu who was letting them win.

After the brief interlude of Hideki Hanyu's sudden interest, Marco arranged for someone to go to the place Yuji Kuroiwa had mentioned to bring people back.

However, there's no rush, because according to Yuji Kuroiwa, those girls in the morning were all actresses he was grooming to become, and they were taken away for pre-debut cosmetic medical consultations.

Professional beauty experts will determine if these girls have any physical flaws and then provide professional advice on adjustments.

Even if Marco doesn't send anyone, they'll be sent back before noon.

However, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Hideki Hanyu decided to take the initiative.

After resolving this matter, all Hideki Hanyu had to do next was wait.

Waiting for subordinates to report on the progress of other operations.

Many people are waiting to arrive.

We also await further developments in the situation.

Soon, this place welcomed new guests.

It wasn't the group of girls who returned in the morning, but rather Hirohashi Asako, the president of Yunshang Entertainment Media Group.

After getting out of the car, Hirohashi Asako looked at the trembling Oshima Taiji, then at the surrounding situation, and finally looked at Hanyu Hideki.

The bored scumbag is currently at the factory, acting as a "righteous and warm-hearted man" who fell from the sky, caring for a group of young, undocumented women who have been trafficked there.

With his handsome looks and sweet talk, this scumbag has tricked countless beautiful girls into crying in his arms.

Anyway, just by looking at that soaked T-shirt, you can tell that the results were quite fruitful.

Upon noticing that Hirohashi Asako was looking at him, Hideki Hanyu quickly and gently coaxed the girl in his arms.

She was trafficked from South America and has the typical South American girl's curvaceous figure, striking features, and full, alluring red lips.

"Asako-san, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

Hideki Hanyu greeted Asako Hirohashi, who was walking over.

Hirohashi Asako glanced at the girls and teased, "I came as soon as I received the notification, but I didn't expect Yuzuru-san to be so leisurely."

The scumbag shrugged and said, "36D, of course I need to comfort her a little longer."

Hirohashi Asako rubbed her forehead, saying helplessly, "I advised you to deal with it as soon as possible, but it's become such a hassle."

"One problem is better than a lot of problems."

After speaking meaningfully, Hideki Hanyu asked Asako Hirohashi, "Have all the people who should have been notified been notified?"

"I've given the notification," Hirohashi Asako said, glancing at her watch. "The board meeting will be held formally in two hours."

Hideki Hanyu pondered for a moment, "Two hours? That should be enough time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a line of black SUVs drove in from outside.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu spoke to Asako Hirohashi.

"It's time to get down to business."
