Li Xi is not a talkative person, and the same is true at the dinner table.

There is no need to follow complicated table manners when dining within a gang; just start eating.

The fourth person to come to the table was Takamatsu Deng.

When Chihaya Aine saw Takamatsu Touma coming over, she was waving to invite Touma to eat fish with her, but she was startled by the food on Takamatsu Touma's plate.

"Bugs, bugs, bugs...bugs!" Chihaya Aine almost jumped up on the spot, but luckily her body was coordinated so she didn't hit her legs directly on the table.

"Well?"

Takamatsu Deng glanced at Aine with some doubt, put the plate down, pointed at the food inside and said:

"It's roasted silkworm pupae."

"Isn't that still a bug?" Chihaya Aine is still a little afraid of bugs.

“It’s not a bug…it’s a pupa.” Takamatsu Deng explained, glaring at Aine angrily.

"It's a transitional form of life's transformation...it doesn't count as directly eating living things."

Takamatsu Deng interpreted this food in a strangely sentimental tone.

Takamatsu Deng himself does not like foods like raw eggs, red caviar and Mentai caviar, because he feels like he is eating living things directly.

The silkworm pupae placed on the plate this time were oval and rough in appearance, very similar to the stones that Gao Songdeng usually picked up, so Gao Songdeng took almost a whole plate on a whim.

"Are roasted things no longer alive?" Kaname Rakuna, who came to the dining table last, suddenly commented on Takamatsu Deng's statement.

"..." Gao Songdeng was stunned by this direct question.

Even those crimson pupils were slightly dilated.

"Wow!" Chihaya Aine immediately noticed the occurrence of a mass confusion phenomenon that made everything around her seem weightless.

"Deng Deng, let's start eating first!" Chihaya Aine certainly knew the source of this strange situation.

Aine's words effectively brought Takamatsu Deng back from his trance, and his attention was no longer focused on the so-called "life or death" table philosophy.

"Interesting...girl." Kaname Lenai also held her bowl of special soba noodles with extra ingredients and started eating happily.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 197: A Hundred-Step Walk After Dinner

Although everyone started the buffet with their favorite and interesting things, the five members of the Lost Group still managed to choose their food combinations afterwards and had a delicious and nutritious dinner with both meat and vegetables - of course, this was related to the fact that the "Best" Nagasaki Suyo in the Lost Group forced them to have a balanced diet.

After Takamatsu Deng ate a lot of food that Chihaya Aine called a "bug banquet", Nagasaki Suyo dragged Takamatsu Deng to the vegetarian area over there to supplement vitamins.

With the team's most energetic "lead singer" as a role model, even Kaname, who has always been used to doing things her own way, stopped eating matcha flavored foods.

In short, the five members of the Lost Group ended their leisure time today with a buffet party for all five of them.

Before leaving the restaurant, Chihaya Aine took away several bottles of carbonated drinks.

The five members of the lost group boarded Nagasaki Motoyo's carriage together.

Before getting on the car, Shiina Riki noticed something was wrong.

Shiina Riki is very familiar with Nagasaki Suyo's car usage habits, and he remembers the interior and various modified arrangements of each of Nagasaki Suyo's cars very well.

Shiina Riki often sits in the passenger seat of the car driven by Nagasaki Motoyo, and she is the one who is most skilled in dealing with various emergency situations while driving.

Judging from the situation of this car...I'm afraid it's not as simple as just a car for daily travel.

Taking the most obvious example, this car has color-changing bulletproof glass with a higher safety factor and a crash barrier in front of the car.

When he came to this restaurant before, Shiina Riki was not in Nagasaki Soyo's car, so he did not notice anything unusual before.

"Su Shi, are we still going to take action tonight?" Shiina Riki asked his question directly.

"This car doesn't need to be driven out on ordinary days, right?"

The saying goes that if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. This saying is certainly true, but even gangs like the Lost Group do not necessarily have to travel in these enhanced modified vehicles that can be vaguely seen as problematic at a glance.

After all, there are indeed many similar vehicles in New Tokyo, but anyone who can see the level of protection of such vehicles will probably suspect that the people in the car want to do something dangerous.

Even as a gang, the five members of the Lost Group would not often use this kind of high-end fighting car with high level of weaponry and suspicious appearance for their daily travel.

"Ah? Hiccup~" Chihaya Aine, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, was also shocked when she heard this, and quickly closed the cap of the bottle of wasabi cola she was drinking.

Although the Coke was covered, avoiding the embarrassing situation of spraying the Coke on Takamatsu Deng's face, the burps caused by the Coke could not be covered. Chihaya Aine was so surprised that she burped continuously.

"You want it today?" Chihaya Aine was a little shocked.

Although in the group chat of the five members of the Lost Group, Nagasaki Suyo had already informed others that she had basically completed the investigation of those companies involved in the Harbor District incident and those companies that may have a vested interest.

But Chihaya Aine never expected that Nagasaki Motoyo would actually plan to do things at such a fast pace.

Regarding this question, Nagasaki Suyo explained:

"We're secretly investigating their presence like this... so those people behind the harbor district won't just give up like that, right?

"Ain, think about it, how big a commotion was that incident in the harbor area that day? Our involvement in it has already disrupted someone's plan.

"Could it be that during this long period of time, those people really did nothing?"

Nagasaki Suyo sat in the main driver's seat, her hands on the steering wheel, and turned her head to look at her companions sitting in the back.

"That's true... I thought I could rest for a few more days." Chihaya Aine has had plenty of leisure and entertainment these days, and she wanted to play for one more night.

"It's just like the teacher notifying me that the vacation is over and school needs to start early! Sad~" Chihaya Aine was saying something weird again.

"I plan to take action now and directly attack one of the insurance companies. What do you think?" Nagasaki Suyo asked her companions in the car.

Right now, it is time to race against time.

Even though the Lost Child Group is not a formally operating company or group, there is no overtime pay for working at night.

"I have no objection." Yao Lenai was the first to express his opinion. Yao Lenai has always been the most important among the five people regarding this matter.

This is because the information about the five members of the Lost Group has not been fully grasped yet, otherwise Lenai would have wanted to take action and start fighting a long time ago.

"Have we brought our weapons and other things?" Shiina Riki asked Nagasaki Motoyo.

Shiina Riki and Kaname Rina went to the amusement park today, so it was naturally impossible for them to bring such dangerous items into the amusement park.

"I've put them all in the trunk for you." Nagasaki Suyo has always been very reliable in logistics work and would not fail when preparing to carry out an operation.

"That's great... I have no problem either." Shiina Riki pressed his finger bones, making a crackling sound.

"Exercise after meals?" Takamatsu Deng asked this question in a strangely innocent tone.

After-meal exercise... is indeed a very suitable word to describe this action tonight.

"There's no need for people to work out so hard after a meal!" Chihaya Aine said loudly.

Nagasaki Suyo understood the subtext of Takamatsu Deng's short sentence.

"Well... the defense conditions at the place we're going to tonight won't be that strict," explained Nagasaki Suyo.

Although the five members of the Lost Group are not afraid of any dangerous challenges, after all, this action was decided in haste, and the five members of the Lost Group cannot be said to be fully prepared for combat.

In other words, it is best not to go into dangerous places that can be called "dragon's den and tiger's lair" and not to face overly powerful defensive forces.

"Where's Ainon?" Nagasaki Motoyo asked her companion who seemed to have eaten a little too full.

"I... I'm fine. I should have drunk less Coke if I had known." Chihaya Aine muttered.

"Okay." Nagasaki Motoyo stepped on the accelerator, and the van with good protection capabilities roared onto the road.

New Capital Elegy: Chapter 198: Documents and Plots

For big things, perhaps these hastily made plans and schemes are not very good.

How should I put it? It's as if I just thought of it and did it!

Of course, it was just perfect for the after-dinner activities of five high school girls.

However, as a high school girl in her prime, her nighttime activities were to raid an insurance company, which was relatively rare even in New Tokyo.

While the car was driving, Nagasaki Suyo and several of her companions also talked about the target of the five lost group tonight.

The target chosen by Nagasaki Suyo for the five members of the Lost Group this time is called "Asahi Insurance Co., Ltd."

In New Tokyo, there are not many companies that still insist on using the name "株式会社" to refer to limited liability companies, and they account for about half of the companies on the market.

Moreover, most of the companies that use this name are relatively small, and there are few giant companies.

Of course, the insurance company that the lost group wants to go to this time cannot be classified as a small or micro enterprise.

A company that can contract the fire insurance business of a large number of homeowners in a district of New Tokyo is definitely not a job that a small enterprise can take on.

Although Asahi Insurance cannot be said to be a global giant that can shake New Tokyo with just a stomp of its feet, it is still far from that level. There are not many groups in the entire New Tokyo that are qualified to call themselves giants.

However, Asahi Insurance is well managed and has considerable profit levels, and can be considered a "medium-level" insurance company.

However, from the information Nagasaki Suyo has, this impressive financial report and profit level seem to be inconsistent with the so-called...

There is a high correlation between the behavior of withdrawing insurance in the event of a disaster and "giving up the protection of rights and interests in areas with an excessively high probability of fire after evaluation."

Moreover, during the subsequent investigation into the shareholding structure of this insurance company, Nagasaki Suyo discovered some unusual changes in equity. Specifically, Suyo discovered that the company's senior management also held some shares in the Harbor District Fire Department.

In the new Tokyo that encourages market-oriented operations and pursues free competition, the fire department is of course also a market entity that can accept social investment.

The so-called joint-stock company is actually no different from an ordinary company. However, since it uses this name instead of the more modern "limited company", it means that such enterprises tend to believe more in the traditional "harmonious management philosophy".

Adherents of this philosophy are often associated with more traditional, family-run gangs.

Because of this, Nagasaki Suyo initially speculated that this trip to Asahi Insurance might face obstruction from some gang forces.

Even though her knowledge of Asahi Insurance was only on paper, Nagasaki Suyo was able to roughly analyze the company's security configuration and possible gang background just from the company's name.

Of course, for the five members of the Lost Group, this kind of thing is not very important.

No matter what difficulties lie ahead, even if the road ahead is full of confusion and difficulties and obstacles are countless, the five members of the Lost Group will open a path under such circumstances. This is the belief that this five-member group holds.

If it is a relatively more traditional gang, they might still consider the gains and losses and the distribution of benefits.

Travel manpower, guns and ammunition, these all cost money!

A serious gang would not mobilize a large number of people for no reason. If there is no sufficient profit in return for a large-scale deployment, it would be a loss and a risk of death.

But after all, the Lost Group is an amateur gang composed of five high school students, so there is no need to care about so many twists and turns.

Of course, the five members of the Lost Group are also the most spiritual and pioneering mind awakeners in the tide of the times.

This time when they went to Asahi Insurance, the goal of the five members of the Lost Group was not to cause casualties or seize territory.

The target of the Lost Group's action this time is relatively peaceful. It is nothing more than breaking into Asahi Insurance and searching for information related to the Harbor District incident.

As for whether this process will cause any financial losses to the insurance company or safety issues for the relevant guards, there is nothing that can be done about it.

Insurance companies involved in disasters as serious and devastating as the harbor fire will still have other people coming to cause trouble, even if there are no gangs like the Lost Children's Group who actively intervene to explore the chain of vendettas.

Of course, it’s mainly journalists who want to make some big news.

In addition, the time for the general election in New Tokyo is approaching, the atmosphere in the public opinion field is becoming increasingly tense, and various forces are ready to move.

It is also possible that some political groups are looking for opportunities to use the strict investigation of insurance companies that withdraw insurance during disasters as propaganda, taking the opportunity to hype up the issue and increase their own exposure.

However, this kind of election-related political operation has nothing to do with the five members of the current Lost Group.

He changed into combat uniform, put on weapons and equipment, and covered his face with a mask again.

On such a moonlit and windless night, the five members of the Lost Group took a van to the headquarters building of Asahi Insurance Co., Ltd.

It was no longer working hours, and the lights in the building had long been turned off, with only a few emergency lights flashing, as if keeping watch over this sleeping building.

This place is not an important location, and there is no security force guarding the night.

It seems that the five members of the Lost Group can easily get what they want from this building tonight?

I don’t know. Maybe I can only ask the bright moonlight tonight.

Under the cover of night, five lawless thugs wearing masks, armed with guns and large shields, bows and arrows, and swords, entered the Asahi Insurance office building uninvited.

Chihaya Aine walked in front, and the "magician" in the Lost Group took out her magic gadget from the inner pocket of her combat uniform.

After a simple prying operation, the locked door opened.

The building was dark and there were no lights.

Fortunately, all five members of the lost group were equipped with night vision goggles, and everything in their field of vision was clearly visible.

The five members of the Lost Group began their exploration of the insurance company.
