I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

It turns out that when the police were cooperating with Yukinoshita Company, they also noticed that the eldest daughter, Haruno, who was assisting in handling this case, was acting suspiciously. So they had already planted an informant in her area. As a result, after Harunoshita collected information about the other party through the yakuza company, the police chief in charge of the case intercepted the information.

In this situation, Yang Nai had no choice but to submit the documents as required by the police.

The police also issued a statement saying they would do their utmost to handle the matter and take responsibility for the safety of the Yukinoshita family.

After all, several of the yakuza companies they were cooperating with had suffered heavy losses in several conflicts, so relying on the police was the wisest course of action.

Logically, it's an unassailable idea.

"Fool! Things can't be that simple!"

Li Xuan immediately cursed with a dark face.

He looked at the group of construction workers and said directly, "It's okay to call the police when their identities are unknown, since they are only harassing you and forcing you to accept their conditions. But once the police find out their background, doesn't that mean they've completely broken off relations? That would mean they've declared war."

A chilling atmosphere enveloped the tavern, and everyone's face was filled with astonishment.

What is considered the safest approach is actually the most wrong one.

Based on past conflict experience, the other side is most likely to start fighting tonight.

"This is absolutely terrible. It seems logical, and handing it over to the police would be foolproof, but if the police were that reliable, what would they need my help for?"

Li Xuan pondered this very real situation.

Japanese police are notoriously rigid and unreliable, especially in crucial situations.

The involvement of the Japanese police actually caused the situation to spiral out of control.

Yukino Yukinoshita is very intelligent, but she probably still lacks a deep understanding of yakuza society. Although it is unclear whether she knew that the situation was out of control, at the moment the police forcibly intervened, she actually became the biggest thorn in the side of her opponents.

Li Xuan knew that Yukinoshita Haruno was in a very bad situation at the moment.

The darkness of the yakuza, like this torrential rain, howled and lingered wildly above everyone in Chiba...

P.S.: Please vote, thank you everyone.

Chapter 018 The call with Haruno

[Beep beep beep.......]

Yang Nai was driving when her phone rang. It was raining heavily.

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at the caller ID and recognized it as the person calling.

"Did they call back?" Yang Nai smiled to himself.

She dialed the central phone; the car had already entered a sparsely trafficked section of road. She smiled faintly and said, "Hello, it's me."

—【Hey, Yukinoshita-san, where are you right now?】

Li Xuan's voice sounded tense and cautious during the call.

While driving, Yukinoshita asked in confusion, "I'm driving now, still on my way home, what's wrong?"

—I already know about your phone call. The situation has become very bad for you. Giving the information to the police has violated the taboos of the Yakuza rules. Are you aware of how things have changed?

Li Xuan informed Yukino Yukinoshita about the situation.

Deep in the woods beside the highway, it seemed as if demons were howling and rustling.

Upon hearing the news, Yang Nai felt disheartened. She herself felt that this approach was somewhat ill-considered, so after the police had completely taken control, she specifically called Li Xuan to understand the situation. Now she finally received a response: this was a mistake.

Chiba Prefecture issued a heavy rain warning at this moment, and there were far fewer vehicles on the city streets. Two cars, one in front of the other, moved in an orderly manner through the crisscrossing zebra crossings in the black rain.

—【The situation is now out of your control. The extent of their harassment indicates they've been closely monitoring your movements. They'll definitely notice if the Chiba police obtain truly damaging information. Therefore, they'll choose to strike before the police can conduct a deeper investigation. You must be careful now, Yukinoshita.】

Over the central phone call, Li Xuan briefly explained the essence of the matter to Yang Naizhi.

"Thank you for telling me all this... It does seem like the situation is quite bad." After understanding the situation, Yang Nai became more vigilant. Her reaction was rather calm, or rather, composed. At this moment, all she could do was remain calm. She thanked Li Xuan and said.

— [Buzzing sound (signal interference)...Wait a minute, who's protecting you right now?]

Li Xuan asked.

"...I am now under police surveillance and protection."

Yang hesitated for a moment before answering.

Before she could finish speaking, the police car behind Yang Nai was driving in the rain when suddenly a black sedan from the opposite direction changed lanes and crashed violently into the side of the police car. With a loud bang, Yang Nai saw the police car overturned through the rearview mirror.

—【Don't go into too much detail about the police. They'll usually say they'll provide full protection, but at most, they can only have two officers escort you home. Various regulations severely limit their mobility, so their basic protection is never enough. Let me tell you, the other side is very likely to ambush you on your way home. They'll usually stop the officers protecting you first, then intercept you. So, notify the police first and tell them to be careful not to get hit...】

Li Xuan's words were very apt.

"..." Yang Nai looked at the situation behind her with a surprised expression. For some reason, even though it was such a dangerous moment, she felt as if she had been caught up in a comedy show.

—【What? The police have been shaken off?】

Li Xuan learned of the latest developments.

Yang Nai was now completely alone. She dared not step on the brakes because Li Xuan had just said that he would be coming for her soon. Fully aware that she was in danger, she could only seek Li Xuan's advice and asked nervously and seriously, "What should I do now?"

Li Xuan held his phone, standing in the pouring rain.

"Boom!" The thunder seemed to shatter the night sky. It shook people's souls. Amidst the flashing lightning and howling wind and rain, Li Xuan had already arrived at the parking lot, preparing to rush over in person.

In the parking lot outside the izakaya, male construction workers also began to board minibuses in the rain.

—【What you need to do now is run for your life, and... tell me where you are right now?】

This was Li Xuan's final advice to Yukinoshita before he set off.

Even with the umbrella providing shelter, the cold rain still soaked his clothes.

After obtaining Yang Nai's temporary location information, Li Xuan turned around and looked at Tamura, who was holding an umbrella, in the pouring rain.

"Call over all the capable fighters in our company and tell them that today's operation is different from usual..."

"We're not going to collect debts, nor are we going to drink; we're coming with me to make a big splash."

In the darkness, Li Xuan gave his instructions amidst the black rain.

"Understood, boss."

Tamura nodded seriously, preparing to make a call to gather the insufficient resources.

Based on experience, Yukinoshita Haruno shouldn't be able to escape too far.

Rain dripped from Li Xuan's hair, and he deeply understood the problem at hand.

His car was good and fast enough to get to the scene in the shortest time, but the problem was that it could only carry six people.

The minibuses used by construction workers were much slower.

His situation is also very dangerous.

Just as he was about to get on the bus, Tamura suddenly called out to him from behind.

"Boss."

The 1.8-meter-tall Tamura, soaked to the bone, looked at his leader, who had served him peacefully for a year, with worry and seriousness, and bowed earnestly, saying, "Please be sure to stay safe and sound."

"..."

Li Xuan turned around and looked at him, remaining silent.

Finally, he turned around, walked to his car, slightly raised his right hand, made a simple waving goodbye, and left.

In the name of cooperation.

Like a cycle of fate, their acquaintance, which began with the kidnapping of Yukinoshita, has now reversed, and he must now personally reverse this familiar situation.

Amidst the torrential rain, the grudges and entanglements between Li Xuan and the Yukinoshita family become increasingly complex...

※※※※

It was pitch black, and the rain was pouring down. Apart from the road illuminated by car headlights, nothing else could be seen clearly.

On a straight, deserted highway in Chiba Prefecture, a heavy drop of water fell from the high clouds onto the dark road. But at that very moment, a tire, splashing water, crushed the cold droplet prematurely.

Amidst headwinds and torrential rain, the black Toyota Crown gleamed as it sped past at an incredible speed!

Yang drove his Crown car at an extremely high speed to escape from the four or five cars that were hot on his heels.

The torrential rain pounded against the car, and driving at such a speed in the downpour was actually quite terrifying.

—【Are you okay now?】

At this moment, Li Xuan called her again.

"Actually, it's not good at all."

Yukinoshita gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and replied.

—【Your driving skills are quite good, considering you've managed to hold on until now.】

Li Xuan was quite impressed and, in the tense atmosphere, tried to ease her pressure by saying something.

"No, it was hit twice in the middle and slipped once."

Yukinoshita replied.

—【…It's okay, keep driving. I'm starting to get closer to your position.】

Are you telling the truth or lying?

—【Of course it's true.】

"I'm so happy to hear that."

Li Xuan, who had driven his Mercedes and taken a detour to get here, felt a strange sense of relief in Yukinoshita's tone. He couldn't tell whether what she had said before was true or false.

Unexpectedly reliable, Yukino Yukinoshita.

Why did you suddenly stop talking?

After a period of silence, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly asked.

—【It's okay, I've always been online.】

Li Xuan focused on the navigation map and said to her.

“...Um, Mr. War Demon.”
