Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 542 "Seventh Heaven"

The Hummer was speeding on the Hanshin Expressway. It was raining heavily. The wipers swept the water off the windshield and the wheels spun up waves of water that splashed all around.

The rain started this morning. It wasn't heavy at first, just a drizzle. Yesterday's weather forecast didn't predict rain today. The high school girl who didn't bring an umbrella held her black cowhide backpack above her head and walked past the sidewalk.

Soon after, the rain started to get heavier, and now it has become a downpour. The heavy rain washed the highway and only a white mist could be seen. In such weather, no one dared to drive on the highway anymore. Not only could you not see anything clearly, but the tires would also slip easily, so vehicles drove off the highway one after another.

Seeing that there was no car in front of it blocking the way, the Hummer drove even faster on the highway, even exceeding the maximum speed limit. To dare to speed in such weather, the driver must be either crazy or extremely confident in his driving skills.

Yuan Zhisheng stepped on the accelerator tightly and was on his way back to Genji Heavy Industries. His cell phone was on the passenger seat, and the call record on the screen showed that he had just talked to Ying not long ago.

His original itinerary today was to go to Kansai to discuss business with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The project of excavating the Akato River by Maruyama Construction of the Snake Eight Family required a large amount of heavy equipment, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has always been one of the largest partners of Genji Heavy Industries. However, a phone call he received at the last minute forced him to adjust his train and return to Tokyo.

The eight Snake families' businesses across Tokyo were attacked at the same time.

Gang fights are not very common in Japan, but they are not rare. In Osaka's famous pornographic industry street, Tobita Shinchi, it is not uncommon for gangs behind shops to fight each other because of business conflicts.

The Sheqi Eight Families are the local bosses of the Japanese underworld. Generally, no one dares to mess with the Sheqi Eight Families, but there are always some gangsters who have just debuted and cannot tell the difference, or who are eager to become famous and enter the gray market shops run by the family to cause trouble.

However, the simultaneous attack on dozens of businesses would obviously not be the case as described above. Moreover, Sakura said on the phone that the other party were all masked bikers riding motorcycles, who smashed the doors and windows of casinos or brothels with iron bars or tables and chairs and then threw tear gas into the rooms.

They rode away on their bikes without waiting for the security guards to come out, and their style of action was very orderly. It was obvious that the other party came here in an organized and premeditated manner.

There are not many societies in Japan that have the ability to launch such a large-scale attack on the industries of the Snake Eight Families, and even fewer that dare to do so.

Although Yuan Zhisheng had a rough idea of ​​the target in mind and knew who the opponent might be, he could not figure out the purpose of the opponent's actions. Because such an attack was almost insignificant to the main family, and even the custom industry was mostly open at night, so an attack in the morning would not even affect the business.

Therefore, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, always feeling that this attack was just a performance, and the other party might have other purposes... It was precisely because of this feeling of uneasiness that prompted him to drive back and deal with the matter personally.

In the heavy rain, he finally saw a signpost for Tokyo ahead. It would probably only take a short drive for him to get back to Genji Heavy Industries.

At this moment, the Sony P990i phone on the passenger seat suddenly rang again. Yuan Zhisheng glanced at the name of the caller, held the steering wheel with one hand, reached out and pressed the hands-free button on the phone.

"Young Master." Ying's voice came from the phone. From the chaotic background noise, it can be heard that she is in a messy place.

"it's me."

Yuan Zhisheng said in a low voice, controlling the steering wheel with both hands: "What happened again? Why is it so noisy over there? Where are you now?"

"I'm sorry, young master. I'm at the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building right now. The headquarters was attacked." Sakura said, "Just half a minute ago, the headquarters was attacked by an explosion."

With a loud bang, the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building shook as if there was a mild earthquake and was about to collapse.

Thick black smoke and flames instantly filled out from the entrance of the first floor lobby. The shock wave generated by the explosion caused the glass on the lower floors near the first floor to burst outward at the same time. The fragments of black crystal glass hit the rain curtain like raindrops, and shattered on various luxury cars parked along the road. The luxury cars sounded alarms. Passersby were frightened and screamed and fled quickly.

"What happened? Did the transformer box explode?"

Miss Akaname, the receptionist at the entrance of the first-floor lobby, was crouching behind the reception counter in a state of confusion. She poked her head out from behind the counter and looked out.

Everywhere I looked was ruins. The leather sofas had been overturned, the expensive vases used for decoration had long been shattered by the shock wave, and even the marble floor had been broken into pieces. The building's own waterproofing device was already spraying water outwards, and the water mixed with the ruins like mud.

There were even some employees lying on the ground, stunned by the shock wave of the explosion, their lives in danger.

A minute ago, the hall was still as beautiful and peaceful as usual. She had just received a group of big clients from Europe. The clients had a pleasant conversation with her and asked for her business card. As soon as the clients left, Mr. Nagao, a colleague who was chasing her, brought her a cup of coffee.

She thanked him politely, and Mr. Nagao said goodbye to her with a smile on his face. Just as she was about to walk to the elevator with the bags of coffee and return to the office, the explosion suddenly occurred.

The hall was now filled with smoke and dust, and Mr. Nagao was lying unconscious in a pool of coffee.

Miss Akana finally came to her senses and realized that she should call the fire department and the police immediately. Her shaking hands just touched the landline on the reception desk...

At this time, motorcycles suddenly rushed out from the billowing smoke, braked suddenly and stopped in the hall. Everyone wore a mask, a leather jacket and carried a gun on their waist. This made Miss Akana realize that the explosion was not an accident caused by the disrepair of the transformer box.

"Why is there such a big fuss?" Someone asked in Chinese, "How on earth did you get such powerful explosives past the security check at Genji Heavy Industries?"

The person who said this was wearing a Tifa mask from the game Final Fantasy. On the bulge on his black T-shirt was the Chinese characters for "Jiangyang Dadao". The voice sounded like a woman.

The person who answered her was a man wearing the same "Barrett" mask from the game "Final Fantasy". He flashed the watch on his wrist:
"The Casio F-91W, with the technology I learned from the Dongzhong people, can be used with a bottle of nitroglycerin and a 9-volt battery to assemble a simple time bomb. It can be set to explode at any time within three years, accurate to the second. It's perfect for blowing up the transformer box."

"Tifa" frowned. Although she knew that these thugs hired from the Hunter website were never good people, their style of action was a bit too radical. Creating a large explosion in a crowded place like the Genji Heavy Industries Building would be difficult to deal with once it attracted the attention of the authorities.

"I'm only asking you to imitate the terrorists' attack on the Genji Heavy Industries Building. I'm not asking you to really be terrorists."

"What's the difference?" "Barrett" shrugged. "After all, isn't it all about making explosions? The people of Dongzhong are the most professional at this, so you can learn from them."

"Alright, alright." At this time, the man wearing the "Weegee" mask rode a motorcycle between the two people and said, "Good lady Tifa, let's put off discussing right and wrong for a while. We have serious things to do now. With Genji Heavy Industries' reaction speed, their security system will probably be restored within three minutes. We have to rush to the computer room before the other party's security personnel fully react, and clear the obstacles along the way for Mr. Claude."

Tifa snorted coldly upon hearing this, and was too lazy to talk to Barrett anymore. Instead, she said, "Let me repeat the mission again. Our target is Kaguya's computer room. According to reliable intelligence, Kaguya's computer room is roughly on the 39th floor of Genji Heavy Industries."

Barrett asked, "Thirty-nine floors? On foot?"

Tifa nodded and said, "We can't walk. The transformer box was destroyed by the explosion just now, and the elevator has stopped running, so we can only walk to the 39th floor. But I believe this is not a difficult task for you as hybrids. The difficulty lies in how to break through the alloy electronic door and defense system outside the machine room. Only by opening the electronic door can 'Claude' implant the virus program into Kaguya's body."

"Alloy electronic door..."

"We'll discuss how to break through the alloy door later. The explosion has been over for a minute. Let's go up the stairs first."

Apparently, this "Tifa" lady was the captain of this team. After she finished speaking, everyone got off their motorcycles and rushed straight to the safe passage of the Genji Heavy Industries Building, stepping on the broken glass. During the whole process, Miss Akana hid behind the reception counter and watched secretly.

Only after she confirmed that the "Seventh Heaven" team had really left did she dare to stick her head out from behind the island counter and pick up the phone:

"Security department? I'm Akaname from the reception hall...it looks like the building has been hit by a terrorist attack!"

……

Five minutes after the "Seventh Heaven" team (the anti-Shinra organization participated by the protagonists Cloud and Tifa in the game "Final Fantasy") entered the safe passage, the "beeping" fire truck stopped in front of the Genji Heavy Industries headquarters building.

Considering the Japanese efficiency, it was a miracle that the fire brigade could arrive at Genji Heavy Industries within five minutes.

This is probably because of the huge influence of Genji Heavy Industries in the Tokyo headquarters. The director of the Tokyo Fire Department receives a lot of "gifts" from Genji Heavy Industries every year. After hearing about the explosion at Genji Heavy Industries, the director of the Fire Department personally gave instructions to mobilize a large number of manpower to provide support.

Firefighters in red fire uniforms poured into Genji Heavy Industries from the entrance of the hall in an unorganized manner. Some of them helped up the Genji Heavy Industries employees who were knocked unconscious by the shock wave and lying on the ground, while others wore protective clothing and searched for the end of the thick smoke.

Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi, who were mixed in with the crowd, helped up a male employee who had fainted on the ground. From the nameplate on his chest, they could see that the employee's surname was Nagao, the same surname as Nagao Kanji, the male protagonist in "Tokyo Love Story".

"Was this explosion caused by the Ghost Clan? Isn't it a bit too loud?" Lu Mingfei muttered.

"What's wrong with being a little bigger? The more chaotic it is, the easier it is for us to sneak in." Xia Mi beside him said.

Xia Mi is not short. At about 165cm, she already reaches the normal height of many Japanese men without having to tiptoe. But she is a girl after all, and her body is relatively weak. Fire suits are relatively loose, so even the smallest size of fire suit looks a little big on her. It gives people the feeling that she is secretly wearing Lu Mingfei's T-shirt at home.

"That's right. As long as he's fine." Lu Mingfei nodded and reached out to touch Yongwei's neck. There was nothing unusual. He probably just fainted.

Lu Mingfei looked around and soon saw the fire escape not far away. He turned around and signaled to Xia Mi, and while everyone was carrying the wounded and cleaning up the debris from the explosion, he entered the stairwell of the building under the cover of thick smoke.

In fact, there seems to be a more convenient way to sneak into Genji Heavy Industries. There is a manhole in the corner of the lobby on the second underground floor of Takamagahara. The sewer of that manhole is directly connected to the underground shelter system in Shinjuku District, and from there you can go directly to the back door of Genji Heavy Industries.

It seems more convenient to sneak into Genji Heavy Industries from that route, and it will not attract the attention of the Snake Eight Families.

But Lu Mingfei is with his family now after all... If my junior sister knew that she saw him going to a gigolo club, she might think that he had developed some weird hobby!

Moreover, the greater the noise Genji Heavy Industries makes, the more attention it will attract from the Snake Eight Families, and the safer Aki and Zero will be.

The emergency searchlights in the safety passage of the stairwell were always on. The explosion of the transformer box temporarily paralyzed the power system of the entire Genji Heavy Industries Building, but such a large company often has multiple backup power systems. It should not take long for the building to be powered back up.

The strange thing is that there was no one in the stairwell. Logically speaking, when an explosion like this happens in a building, all the employees in the building should be evacuated safely.

But maybe it was because the explosion did not cause a big fire, or for some other reason, but Lu Mingfei went all the way up the stairs and did not see a single employee fleeing in panic.

Lu Mingfei looked around and confirmed that there was no one around.

"Change your clothes." Lu Mingfei said to Xia Mi.

"it is good."

Xia Mi nodded and took off the slightly loose fire suit, wearing a slim leather jacket inside. I didn't expect that Xia Mi, who seemed to have a slender figure, would look like a queen after putting on the leather jacket.

But think about it, Xia Mi did play a role like a queen in history. Cleopatra...

Lu Mingfei also threw his fire suit casually on the ground. Wearing a leather jacket, he looked a bit like a high school motorcycle gang member.

They both put on masks. Lu Mingfei wore the mask of Claude, the male protagonist in Final Fantasy, while Xia Mi wore the mask of Alice, one of the female protagonists.
