Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

He silently recited the names of the accident victims he was about to visit, his heart filled with concern and blessings for them.

As the vehicle slowly drove away, Kitahara Makoto and his bodyguards headed to the location where they were visiting the victims of the accident.

He knew that this visit was not only to express concern, but also to convey the company's determination and belief.

He believed that as long as everyone worked together, nothing could stop them from moving forward. (Good King Good)

...........

Shortly after, the vehicle carrying Kitahara Makoto came to a smooth stop at the hospital's main entrance.

Through the car window, he saw people coming and going in the hospital, each with a different expression on their face—some anxious, some calm, and some full of hope.

The car door opened, and Kitahara Makoto, accompanied by bodyguards, stepped into the hospital.

Although his steps were steady, his heart was filled with concern and worry for those involved in the accident.

Chapter 217 The Mastermind

Upon entering the hospital, Li Hua quickly met up with Kitahara Makoto. She held a detailed ward layout map in her hand, her face showing a serious and focused expression.

"Mr. Bei, I have already contacted the hospital, and they will assist us with the visit."

Although Li Hua's voice was calm, it revealed an undeniable professionalism.

Kitahara Makoto nodded in approval.

He followed Li Hua's footsteps, walked through the hospital corridor, and headed towards the wards of the accident victims.

In the corridor, the sounds of patients coughing and talking could be heard from time to time, but Kitahara Makoto seemed to be in another world, his mind only on the accident victims he was about to meet.

Finally, they arrived at the ward door. Li Hua gently pushed the door open, gesturing for Kitahara Makoto to enter.

Shinichi Kitahara entered the ward and was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

Those employees who are usually busy with work and full of energy are now lying quietly in their hospital beds.

Pale-faced and weak, he walked to each bedside, carefully observing their conditions, a wave of indescribable sorrow washing over him.

He stopped in front of the first hospital bed, gently took the hand of the employee lying on it, and his voice was choked with emotion:

"How are you? How could this happen?"

The employee slightly opened his eyes, saw it was Kitahara Makoto, and a hint of surprise and emotion flashed in his eyes:

"Mr. Bei, what brings you here? I... I'm fine, I just need some time to rest."

Kitahara Makoto held his employee's hand tightly, his eyes slightly red:

“You are the company’s most valuable asset. Seeing you like this breaks my heart. The company will take full responsibility and ensure you receive the best treatment.”

He then walked past each bed in turn, had a brief conversation with each employee, and encouraged them to face the difficulties with strength and recover as soon as possible.

During the conversation, Kitahara Makoto felt the trust and reliance that the employees had for the company, which further strengthened his determination to be responsible for the company and its employees to the end.

After leaving the ward, Kitahara Makoto called out to his assistant, Li Hua, and said firmly:

"Li Hua, I've thought about it, and we'll increase the compensation for each person involved in the accident by another 100,000 yuan."

“They have given so much to the company, and now they have suffered such a misfortune (CECJ). We cannot let them suffer any further financial losses.”

Li Hua nodded in agreement:

"Okay, Mr. Bei. I'll arrange it right away."

Kitahara Shin took a deep breath, looked in the direction of the hospital, and silently prayed that every employee would recover soon.

He knew that this incident was a huge test for the company and its employees, but he believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to overcome this difficulty.

Kitahara Makoto had just left the hospital when his phone rang urgently. He glanced at the screen; it was a call from the company's internal security department.

A thought struck him, and he immediately answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Kitahara Makoto."

Kitahara Makoto's voice carried a hint of tension, but more so a sense of determination.

"General Manager Bei, this is He Qiang from the security department. We have just apprehended Manager Zhang, and he is currently being interrogated."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Qiang's voice was equally tense yet firm.

"Oh? Any progress?"

Kitahara Makoto pressed for an answer.

"The results of the preliminary interrogation show that the person behind this incident seems to be related to Alibaba."

Zhang Qiang's words revealed a hint of surprise and doubt.

"Alibaba?" Kitahara Makoto frowned; the name was not unfamiliar to him.

Chapter 218 High-Level Meeting

After leaving the hospital, Kitahara Makoto hurried towards the parking lot. His heart was heavy, and his thoughts were racing.

The scene at the hospital and his conversations with the staff made him feel a great sense of responsibility.

He understood that as the company's leader, he was responsible not only for the company's future but also for the employees who had worked hard for the company.

He got into the car, started the engine, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

He stared straight ahead, but the images of the hospital ward kept replaying in his mind.

The stark contrast between the former vitality and current weakness of the employees lying in their hospital beds filled Kitahara with guilt and unease.

As the car wound its way through the bustling city streets, Kitahara Makoto had no interest in appreciating the scenery outside the window.

His mind raced as he considered his next course of action. He had to uncover the truth behind the accident as soon as possible and seek justice for the company and its employees.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the company building.

After getting out of the car, Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and then walked into the company building with firm steps.

Upon entering the company, Kitahara Makoto immediately sensed a tense and busy atmosphere.

The employees were all busy working, but their faces betrayed their fatigue and worry.

Kitahara Makoto knew that this accident had a huge impact on the company, and the employees were worried about the company's future.

He didn't stop and went straight to his office.

He knew that he had a lot to do next, and that it was very important.

He must quickly assemble a special team to investigate the incident, while also reassuring employees and letting them know that the company is actively addressing the crisis.

Kitahara Makoto sat at his desk, turned on his computer, and began to handle a series of urgent matters.

He knew he bore a heavy responsibility and could not afford to slack off in the slightest. He wanted to prove himself through his actions.

As the company's leader, he has the ability and determination to lead the company through this difficult time.

After working in his office for a while, Kitahara Makoto finally had a moment of peace.

He sat at his large desk, his gaze resolute, already having a plan for the next step. He picked up the phone and dialed his assistant, Li Hua's number.

"Li Hua, it's me."

Kitahara Makoto's voice was steady and powerful.

·····Requesting flowers··········

"General Bei, what are your orders?"

Li Hua's voice came quickly, sounding capable and professional.

"I need you to schedule an emergency meeting tonight at 8 p.m.

Kitahara Makoto said directly.

"Okay, Mr. Bei. May I ask what the topic of the meeting is and who will be attending?"

Li Hua quickly got into work mode.

"The meeting focused on the investigation and follow-up handling of a recent incident that occurred within the company."

........... 0

Attendees included senior managers from the legal and finance departments, as well as various other positions. "This was explained in detail by Kitahara Makoto."

"Understood, General Manager Bei. I will immediately begin preparing the materials needed for the meeting and notify the relevant departments and personnel."

Li Hua's answer was concise and to the point.

“Very good, Li Hua. This meeting is very important. I hope we can find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible and develop effective countermeasures.”

"In addition, it is essential to ensure that every participant fully understands and recognizes the impact of this incident on the company," Kitahara Makoto emphasized the importance of the meeting.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Bei. I will do my utmost to ensure the smooth running of the meeting."

Li Hua's voice revealed unwavering confidence.

Chapter 219 Making a Mysterious Phone Call

In the evening, the sky gradually took on a light orange-red hue.

Kitahara Makoto sat in his office, the view outside the window reflected on his resolute face through the glass.

He picked up the phone on the table and dialed a mysterious number.

The call seemed to be answered quickly, but Kitahara Makoto's voice was very low, and only a few short and serious sentences could be heard.

After hanging up the phone, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and then walked towards the door.

Before leaving the office, he deliberately walked to his assistant Li Hua's desk and stopped.

Li Hua was busy organizing meeting materials when he looked up and saw Kitahara Makoto, and immediately stood up.

"Li Hua, tonight's meeting is very important."

Kitahara Makoto said solemnly,

"I would like to specifically remind you that you must ensure that all attendees arrive on time. This is related to the future development of our company."

Li Hua nodded, his expression serious.

"President Bei, please rest assured. I have notified everyone and emphasized the importance of the meeting. I believe everyone will attend on time."

Kitahara nodded in satisfaction, then gave Li Hua a deep look, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled slightly and turned to leave the office.

With Kitahara Makoto's departure, the office returned to calm.

But Li Hua knew that tonight's meeting would be a crucial one concerning the company's future.

She took a deep breath and continued preparing for the meeting.

After leaving the office, Kitahara Makoto walked through the corridor and headed firmly toward the company garage.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the garage's skylight, casting a golden outline on the rows of neatly parked cars.

He walked up to his Maserati, the sleek luxury car gleaming in the sunlight.

He gently opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, adjusted the seat and steering wheel, and then started the engine.

With a deep, powerful engine roar, the Maserati slowly drove out of the garage and merged into the city's traffic.

Kitahara Makoto drove the vehicle northwards.

Outside the car window, the city scenery constantly changed, from bustling commercial districts to quiet residential areas, and then to the fields and hills in the suburbs.

But Kitahara's mind wasn't on the scenery; the images of the hospital and the upcoming meeting kept replaying in his head...

As night fell, the retro manor in the north of the city appeared especially mysterious under the moonlight.

Kitahara Makoto drove his Maserati slowly toward this land that had been weathered by history.

The manor's gate is ancient and imposing, as if guarding a bygone era.

The lintel is carved with exquisite patterns, and although it has weathered the storms of time, its former glory can still be faintly discerned.

The wrought iron door knocker swayed gently in the night breeze, making a faint sound, as if telling the story of the manor's past.

Kitahara Makoto parked the car in the open space in front of the manor and turned off the engine. He got out of the car and looked up at the manor.

Moonlight spilled onto the rooftops and walls of the manor, casting dappled shadows that added a touch of mystery and solemnity to the ancient building.

2.9

The manor is surrounded by a dense forest, where the occasional chirping of insects and rustling of leaves break the silence of the night.
