Tokyo: Starting with taking on his wife's debts

"That's good..."

After giving Ezaki his mobile phone number, Hideaki noticed that Funakawa Yoshiko was still worried. He had intended to praise Ezaki's personality and temperament to dispel her concerns. However, he suddenly realized that Ezaki didn't seem to have a good temper, and had spanked Ayako more than once, without even smiling... He initially thought of having Umezu Midori dial the number right now.

Ask Fukai Jiro about his problems, and see what she thinks about Fukai Ichiro suffocating to death. Finally, say a few flirty things to her and dispel Funakawa Yoshiko's worries.

Then you can ask for a second positive review.

But what if she's not nice to me when I call at 3 a.m.? What if she gets angry?

I'll call her after it gets light!

It's not good to disturb her sleep, after all, she's been working hard to get supplies for the supermarket.

After writing down the number, Midori Umezu put away her cell phone and stopped talking. She simply lay down on the back seat and continued to sleep.

Because she hadn't managed to discourage Umezu Midori, and because of her own worries, Funakawa Yoshiko stopped talking. Soon after, her eyelids began to droop, her face grew increasingly red, and she developed a fever.

Xiuming took out bottled water and fever reducer from the car and gave her a sip. She drifted off to sleep.

To ensure safety, Hideaki took a nap for several hours at a highway service area during the rest of the journey, and arrived in Tokyo at eight o'clock in the morning.

Chapter 170 [Second Excellent Achievement]

The sky was a clear blue, without a single cloud, and the morning sun was already shining on my face; June was almost here.

After a long night's journey, the idyllic countryside scenery lingers one moment, and the next, you're in a fast-paced, high-intensity modern metropolis.

It was right in the middle of the morning rush hour.

As soon as I got off the highway, it was completely jammed. All I could see were cars, and the air was thick with the smell of gasoline exhaust. There was very little honking or honking; the traffic moved forward in an orderly and silent manner.

It should be a bright and sunny day, but in the fast-paced city, this slow, inching forward can be irritating and depressing.

The economy is now in deflation, and the bubble is full of cracks, just days away from collapsing.

Companies across Japan, from top to bottom, are on edge; nobody wants bankruptcy, closure, or unemployment...

It's pretty much like being suspended in mid-air by a single strand of hair, in a death throes.

Xiuming tapped the jeep's clutch with his foot, and it slowly crawled forward with the flow of traffic.

He was getting annoyed, which is why he didn't want to drive.

The passenger seat was already reclined, and Funakawa Yoshiko was curled up in it, hugging her shoulders, facing Hideaki, her face still slightly flushed, muttering incoherently, "Find me a convenience store... I need to buy something... My stomach hurts so much..."

She was still worried about Yoko Ezaki.

I heard she's a terrifying woman, unpredictable and moody. The reason she dared to bring people to the pachinko parlor was because Fukai Ichiro said Ezaki Yoko had gone to sea, and he was in a hurry to raise money, so he went there in a bulletproof car. He didn't dare to get out of the car and show his face, for fear of being targeted.

But now things are not looking good. It seems like someone is trying to steal her man... How dare this womanizer?

She wanted to see Xiuming's concern and really wanted to ask him, but how could she say it so bluntly?

Moreover, Xiuming had an impatient look on his face. Could it be that he's starting to get annoyed with me because there are too many women...?

I really want to lock him in my little room, so I won't have to worry about him angering Yoko Ezaki anymore, and he can belong to me alone.

"I'll take you to my wife's supermarket first, then I'll go to the hospital myself."

Xiuming, with his eyelids drooping, gave a perfunctory reply.

Which roadside convenience store offers the best value for money compared to your own?

Furthermore, the Tokyo Medical University Hospital where Katsuya Yagami was staying was also the hospital where Masataka Okitama and Sakuya Ezaki were staying. It was also in Nishi-Shinjuku, so it was convenient to take them there on the way.

The second piece of information that Funakawa Yoshiko has presented is still her concern that she might anger Ezaki, leading to a so-called life-or-death situation.

It's really tough on her. I hope her yandere tendencies are just wishful thinking. If she really dares to imprison me, then don't blame me for turning my back on her and leaving.

Her third intelligence report changed to: "[During some time before 12 o'clock, Funakawa Yoshiko will steal the wedding ring you gave to Riko.]"

Let her steal it then, I'll buy Riko an even more expensive one later.

We need to dispel her concerns about this second piece of information and get her a good review quickly.

Thinking of this, Hideaki turned back and said, "Ms. Umezu, please call Ezaki for me."

"Ah? Okay..."

Umezu Midori, who had just been about to tease Funakawa Yoshiko, suddenly paused: Didn't you call me Midori-chan before? Why are you being so distant now that we're back in Tokyo?

Is it because there are too many women in Tokyo that they're planning to abandon me?

I disagree, I would rather die than agree.

I'm going home soon to buy tape, woven bags, garbage bags, suitcases, a cleaver, a food processor...

Let me first hear what kind of woman Yoko Ezaki is, so that if I ever encounter something I can't handle, I can find an excuse to ask for some help...

The line is busy when I try to make a call.

Esaki was listening to Daisuke's report.

Regarding the issue of Fukai Ichiro being killed by the perverted assassin sent by the "Eastern Continent Society," after learning that Fukai Ichiro had a vicious younger brother named Fukai Jiro who was still secretly running an organ, arms, and powder trade, her initial mild anger turned into "good riddance."

Afterwards, Daisuke proudly reported that Fukai Jiro's group of vicious henchmen were really fierce. They not only made the police look bad, but also carved out a large territory for our "Yamaga-gumi," which was full of high-class entertainment venues... and the police still hadn't been able to find any evidence against them.

In the martial arts world today, anyone who hears the name "Mountain Union Group" will tremble in fear... and bow down in worship... it's too glorious.

Daisuke was a subordinate recruited by Ezaki after he became the acting group leader, and he was unaware that the "Yamagaigumi" was even more rampant during Ezaki's time in the Sakae era.

However, the more Ezaki listened, the heavier his heart became.

After drifting on the sea for several days, with the deck full of water and the cabin so stuffy, my mood was at its lowest point.

Fortunately, Xiuming made a harassing phone call a few days ago, which improved my mood a bit, but it also made me want to go back even more. However, I still have to travel by sea for more than two days, which feels like an eternity. I can only endure every second.

"Shut up! You bastard!" Jiang Qi slammed the orange juice in his hand onto the deck. "Are you so proud of yourself, you idiot! Until I get back, everyone stay put, all shops close, and nobody is allowed to leave the house..."

She practically bleeds out her major arteries to pull the "Yamagai-gumi" off the police department's list of top organizations to be eradicated. After all, there are innocent members in the organization, and now that Fukai Jiro has suddenly appeared and caused trouble, they'll probably be on the list again.

The "Shanhe Foreign Trade" business, which I worked so hard to establish, is probably being targeted now.

The most painful thing is that the premise of cooperating with Xiuming was to completely whitewash the Yamaga Group, but now it's not whitewashed yet, and it's stained with another layer of grime.

That fickle jerk, he's not faithful at all in love, what can I do to keep him?

Fortunately, I separated "Yamagai Foreign Trade" from "Yamagai Group" and transferred it to my name, making it "Ezaki Foreign Trade". At the time, I felt a little guilty for misappropriating the organization's property, but now I am grateful for my foresight.

It's a complete mess. The "Shanhe Group" is a complete mess, rotten to the core. They should all be arrested and thrown into prison.

Fukai Jiro… Where did this bastard come from? He's been hiding so deep…

Was she born from the dead mother of that old bastard Ichiro Fukai...?

When Ezaki took office, the "Yamagaigumi" had spread its operations throughout the country. After taking office, some of the organization's veterans were outwardly compliant but inwardly resentful, and inevitably harbored some secrets.

Ezaki gave Daisuke a good scolding, hung up the phone, and then called Kitaro over.

She inquired about anything else in the organization that she didn't know.

Kitaro looked bewildered and said that his father, Ezaki Sekikawa, was attacked so suddenly that he didn't have time to explain anything before being admitted to the ICU and has not woken up since. He guessed that he would remain like that forever.

Kitaro said, feeling wronged, "I thought I was about to become the team leader, and then you hit me..."

"Alright, alright, get out!"

Ezaki waved his hand impatiently, also feeling a bit of a headache. Kitaro was full of hot-blooded fighting spirit. If he were to take the position of group leader, he would probably be even crazier than his uncle, and would end up dead in the street the next day.

The Ezaki family line will truly end... Oh, no, as long as we take Hideaki into our family and rename him Ezaki Hideaki.

We hadn't found out anything about him before; it was like he appeared out of nowhere. All we knew was that he first appeared at the Kyoto distribution center, stole someone's walkie-talkie and clothes, causing that person to be fined and lose their job... But that doesn't matter anymore; he's a real person anyway.

Since he won't reveal his real name, I'll find an opportunity to create another identity for him that isn't "Hideaki Yamanaka," and kick out his status as a stand-in husband... then he'll be mine.

Ezaki poured himself another glass of orange juice, and just as he took a sip, his cell phone rang. It was from an unknown number.

She answered the call and held it to her ear without saying a word.

A small, slightly flustered woman's voice came through the receiver: "Shumei-kun, it's connected, please speak quickly..."

Jiang Qi couldn't help but frown, bringing the receiver closer to his ear, wanting to listen carefully and remember the woman's tone of voice.

It was a strange woman's voice... That bastard, I've sent him so many female employees, why is he still looking for someone else outside?

"Hey, Yoko-chan, it's me. Can you hear me? When are you coming back? I miss you."

"Who are you, you bastard? Do I even know you?"

Xiuming's sudden shout startled Ezaki, who jumped up from his chair, his heart still pounding. However, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased that Xiuming had said he missed her so openly, especially since he had done it in front of that woman... That scumbag, he still didn't care about other people's feelings as always...

Ezaki paused, then said in a cold tone, "Two days from now, I want you to wait for me at Yokohama Port. If you're not there, I'll confiscate all your goods and leave Riko starving."

"If Riko drinks a mouthful of northwest wind, I'll slap you."

"Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise I'm hanging up!"

Ezaki was immediately annoyed. Couldn't she speak properly? Didn't she give him any face at all? Knowing full well he was biased towards Riko, she should have joked about Ayako instead…

He couldn't help but think of the slap he received on the face before, an utter humiliation he would remember for life. If he couldn't hit her, he would hit her woman... Ayako, her butt felt so good... When he hit her, it was not only bouncy, but it would also create a ripple.

In this respect, Riko is not as good as Ayako.

"Ichiro Fukai is dead, did you know?"

Seeing that Funakawa Yoshiko's worries had become a reality, Hideaki stopped chatting and got straight to the point.

"I just found out." Ezaki's voice suddenly became calm. "Why are you asking this?"

“I arranged for that assassin to go there because Fukai Ichiro was seriously affecting your exoneration plan, so I killed him to avoid putting you in a difficult position.” Hideaki said, leaning back in the passenger seat, his face almost touching Funakawa Yoshiko’s, and continued, “Could you say thank you and give me a good review?”

Funakawa Yoshiko whispered, "Thank you, I'll give you a good review."

[Two good achievements achieved]

While Hideaki was on the phone with Ezaki busy, he noticed that Funakawa Yoshiko was terrified of Ezaki, so he took the opportunity to intimidate her, saying: "Yagami Katsumi is your man. Your man killed Ezaki's subordinate, so she will definitely not let you off the hook. Even I can't say anything, since she's from the yakuza... She even wants to take me and make me her little man..."

Then, when Funakawa Yoshiko showed signs of panic, Hideaki changed the subject, saying: "However, as her man, I can risk taking this on myself. After all, you're so cute, I really can't bear to see you get hurt...blah blah blah... Besides, Team Leader Ezaki is actually very easy to talk to...blah blah blah..."

Finally, Hideaki instructed Midori Umezu to hand the cell phone to Yoshiko Funakawa so she could dial the number.

Actually, Funakawa Yoshiko originally wanted Hideaki to pin the assassination attempt on Kenichiro of the "Toshu-kai," since that's what everyone in the Yamaga-gumi thinks now. However, she was bewildered by Hideaki's sweet-talking concern and kept nodding in confusion.

Of course, there was a third person in the car. Midori Umezu was so engrossed in listening that she was practically scratching her toes. However, she also gained a deeper understanding of Hideaki's personality: he's so playful and good at charming people. I want that too...

"You did this!?"
