Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Li Xin couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The two men in black suits struggled incessantly, but remained silent.

Li Xin tightened his grip and continued to press, "Speak, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The two remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Xin couldn't help but take a deep breath: "I didn't expect you two to be so tough!"

The two men in black suits were on the verge of a breakdown.

Brother, let go! How can we talk when you're choking us?

Li Xin seemed to only now remember that he was still choking the two men. He threw them to the ground and said to them, "I'll give you one last chance..."

"I'll talk! We'll tell you everything!"

Before Li Xin could come up with his threat, the two men in black suits gasped for breath while clutching their necks.

It's only a few million yen a year. You can give up your conscience for this job, but it's not worth risking your life!

really!

Li Xin nodded slightly, deciding to let the other party experience the feeling of being on the verge of death first, and to show his domineering side, which would make the interrogation much easier.

This was taught to Li Xin by Long Wu. The first time Li Xin used it, the effect was excellent.

Seeing that the two were frightened by his earlier actions, Li Xin asked, "Why were you following my sister?"

"Our guild leader has taken a liking to your sister and wants to give her a life of wealth and privilege!"

One of the men in the black suit answered.

He could tell that Li Xin was exceptionally strong, able to lift them up by the neck with one hand. If such strength were used in weightlifting, he would be a world champion. So he could only answer truthfully. Of course, even though he answered truthfully, he could still embellish it a bit!

"President? Which president?"

Li Xin asked.

"That's the chairman of the Tsukamoto Group, Chairman Kazuo Tsukamoto!"

Another man in a black suit spoke with considerable pride when he revealed his identity as the chairman.

This is to be expected, after all, Kazuo Tsukamoto is a very famous person in Japan, although it is not a good name.

It doesn't matter. They don't care much about good or bad reputation. As long as they are famous, they can keep the other party in check!

"Kazuo Tsukamoto? Is that the old man from the department store?"

Li Xin still remembered this name. Kiyoshi Ai had mentioned it once before, and even Kiyoshi Rui had mentioned it to Li Xin during the sword exhibition. It seemed that he was the real driving force behind the sword exhibition.

"What does he see in my sister? Why didn't he say so at the department store, and instead had you two follow us?"

Li Xin continued to ask.

If this "taking a liking" is a good thing, then just say it directly in the department store. Why send someone to arrest them secretly?

This is, of course, because there are too many people in the department store, and the chairman is afraid of attracting attention!

The two men in black suits thought to themselves that this wasn't the first or second time they'd done something like this, so how could they not know what happened to the women the chairman had his eye on? But they certainly didn't dare say that, and could only reply, "It's the chairman's order. How would we know why the chairman is doing this?"

"You two are lying."

Li Xin punched one of them directly. The man crashed into the wall, quickly coughed up blood, convulsed, then his pupils dilated, and he died.

“If you lie even once, I’ll kill one of you.”

Li Xin said calmly.

(The man in the black suit who is already dead: Then why am I the one who died? Was I just unlucky?)

After casually killing one person, Li Xin said to the remaining one, "Alright, one is dead. You'd better answer properly, or I'll have to kill you too."

The man in the black suit was completely filled with fear.

He had seen death before, but it was the first time it had come so close to him. It was also the first time he had gone from being the harvester of lives to being the one to be harvested, so he panicked completely.

"I'll tell you everything!"

The remaining man in the black suit instantly became very talkative: "The chairman has taken a liking to your sister and plans to take her back to rape her. He also wants us to bring you back as well, so he can rape your sister in front of you. This will make the chairman..."

The man in the black suit fell silent, because Li Xin had already snapped his neck.

That's enough. Li Xin didn't need to hear a complete answer, especially one that would make him uncomfortable.

"Well, you dare to set your sights on my sister? You're asking for it!"

Li Xin said coldly.

He didn't care what kind of group chairman or big capitalist Tsukamoto Kazuo was, or how many connections and bodyguards he had. If he dared to make a move on Yu Xue, he would definitely kill that bastard.

Moreover, judging from the two bodyguards' skillful procedures, this is definitely not the first time this has happened. If we don't get rid of such a menace, are we just waiting for God to punish him?

Chapter 109 Some things one should not do, and some things one must do.

After simply covering the two bodies, Li Xin planned to dump them into Tokyo Bay under the cover of night. He then caught up with Yu Xue.

Yu Xue had just reached the subway station when she saw Li Xin catching up and immediately asked with a smile, "Brother Xin, did you buy what you forgot?"

"Ah."

Li Xin gave Yu Xue a warm smile and said, "The tram is almost here, let's get ready to board."

Yu Xue's workplace was located in Yokohama's Chinatown. By the time the two of them took the tram back to Yokohama, it was already getting dark. Yu Xue said to Li Xin, "Brother Xin, it's so late. Why don't you stay for dinner at our restaurant?"

As she spoke, Yu Xue whispered to Li Xin, "I can get the chef to cook special meals for you!"

Li Xin smiled and said to Xue, "Xiao Xue, your cooking is delicious. Why don't you cook for me instead?"

Yu Xue was both excited and happy, and nodded to Li Xin, saying, "Okay!"

The two arrived at Yu Xue's workplace, an old-fashioned restaurant that looked like it had stepped out of ancient Central China.

Li Xin looked up at the signboard above the restaurant and read it aloud softly: "Zhonghua Restaurant..."

This was the first time he had heard the name of Yu Xue's workplace: Zhonghua Building. The name sounded grand.

"Ah."

Yu Xue nodded and then said, "The boss said that we Central Plains people are always bullied abroad because we are not united. So he built Chinatown here in the hope that we Central Plains people who have been stranded abroad can unite and face the bullying by outsiders together. And it is true that Chinatown has been harassed by the surrounding gangs. It is the boss who led everyone to fight them off."

Li Xin was slightly surprised.

The plight of people from the Central Plains in Japan can be seen from the appearance of Ah Jie and his companions. They do the dirtiest, most tiring, and most dangerous jobs, but they only earn half or even less of what other workers do. Their safety is not guaranteed at all, and they are the first to suffer when something happens.

Of course, this is partly due to the fact that they were illegal immigrants working illegally, but even if they weren't illegal immigrants, the situation of people from the Central Plains who came to Japan through legitimate channels was not much better than that of Ah Jie and his group.

They were exploited at work and faced harassment from the underworld in their lives. People are cheap when they are away from home, and the underworld is the most likely to bully the weak and fear the strong. When they encounter foreigners who are helpless in Japan, it would be a disservice to their underworld nature not to bully them to death.

In this situation, the fact that someone can stand up and lead others against those gangsters shows that this Zhonghua Restaurant is indeed very capable. No wonder Laishenglei introduced Yu Xue to work here.

Zhonghualou was doing very well. The first-floor hall was almost full, with not a single empty table. Li Xin didn't go up to the second floor, but judging from the sounds, it was just as lively.

After entering Zhonghua Restaurant, Yu Xue said to Li Xin, "Brother Xin, the boss should be in the backyard right now. Let me take you to see him!"

Unlike ordinary bosses, the owner of Zhonghualou was very easygoing and took good care of the people from the Central Plains who were drifting in Japan. He would personally receive any compatriots from the Central Plains who came to visit, which is why Yu Xue took Li Xin to meet the owner of Zhonghualou.

Led by Yu Xue, Li Xin arrived at the backyard of Zhonghualou, where the employees of Zhonghualou lived.

Arriving at a house, Yu Xue stepped forward and gently knocked on the door, saying softly, "Boss, it's me, Xiao Xue. I'm back."

"Oh, it's Xiaoxue. Did you have fun?"

The door opened quickly, and a man wearing a white Zhongshan suit with a buzz cut came out. He looked very energetic. Li Xin keenly sensed that this man had a very strong internal force, and the "spirit" in his eyes was also extremely refined. He was actually a martial arts master with profound cultivation!

The crew-cut man quickly noticed Li Xin and asked Xiaoxue with a smile, "And who is this?"

Yu Xue happily said to the crew-cut man, "Boss, this is the relative I told you about in Japan, Brother A-Xin!"

Li Xin looked at the crew-cut man and said, "Li Xin!"

The crew-cut man cupped his hands to Li Xin and said, "Yuan Bin! Young brother, impressive internal strength! I was wondering how such a master had appeared in Zhonghua Restaurant. Turns out he's Xiaoxue's relative!"

Li Xin quickly returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said to Yuan Bin, "Xiao Xue is deeply grateful for Boss Yuan's care."

Yuan Bin smiled and said, "Xiao Xue is a smart and well-behaved child. I should be the one thanking you for having such an employee."

As he spoke, Yuan Bin said to Xue, "Xiao Xue, ask Lao Xu to make me a few side dishes. I want to have a few drinks with this young brother Li Xin."

Seeing that the boss and Li Xin were having a pleasant conversation, Yu Xue happily said, "Okay, boss, I'll go right away."

After Yu Xue skipped away, Yuan Bin invited Li Xin into the house. As soon as the door closed, the smile on Yuan Bin's face vanished, and he said to Li Xin with a stern expression, "You just killed someone, and you're about to kill someone!"

Li Xin was startled, wondering how Yuan Bin had figured this out, but he also knew that it would be unwise to lie to such an unfathomable person, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

What was the motive for the murder?

Yuan Bin continued to ask, and as he spoke, a faint pressure emanated from his body, enveloping Li Xin.

“Two people tried to kidnap Xiaoxue. I killed them and am now preparing to kill the mastermind behind them. Xiaoxue is like a sister to me, and I will not allow anyone who wants to hurt her to live in this world.”

Li Xin spoke frankly, and after he finished answering, the faint pressure on his body began to slowly disappear.

Yuan Bin's expression softened again. He cupped his hands to Li Xin and said, "I'm really sorry. Although the purpose of Zhonghua Tower is to protect the people of the Central Plains who have fallen into Japan, I will not take in those who commit crimes. I just saw that you had a lot of murderous aura, so I took the liberty of testing you. Please forgive me."

Li Xin shook his head slightly and said to Yuan Bin, "Boss Yuan is right to do this. Even if there are bad people among the people of the Central Plains, as the owner of Zhonghua Tower, you are responsible for everyone in the tower. You should naturally be more wary of outsiders. I have only just met you. Even if I am Xiaoxue's relative, it is only right for Boss Yuan to test me."

Yuan Bin smiled with appreciation: "It's rare to find a young man like you who is so sensible."

People like Li Xin are often proud and arrogant, unable to tolerate the slightest grievance, especially after they have gained some skills, they become even more disdainful of others. Yuan Bin tested Li Xin, and although Yuan Bin felt that he was just doing his job and had no intention of targeting Li Xin, he was still quite pleased that Li Xin understood his intentions, and felt that Li Xin was someone worth talking to.

"Please sit down."

Yuan Bin made a "please" gesture, and a chair was gently moved behind Li Xin. Li Xin was quite shocked when he saw Yuan Bin's move.

Li Xin could push or pull objects closer using his internal energy, but he was still far from being able to do it as easily and effortlessly as Yuan Bin.

This is indeed a master, probably no less skilled than Takuma Sakazaki and Ryuhaku Todo!

Li Xin made this judgment in his heart, and at the same time felt happy - with such an expert at Xiaoxue's workplace, Li Xin didn't need to worry too much about her future safety.

After sitting down with Yuan Bin, Yuan Bin asked Li Xin, "Young brother, you just said that someone wanted to kidnap Xiao Xue, what's going on?"

Li Xin shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know what's going on either..."

He then told Won Bin what he knew.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Yuan Bin frowned deeply: "Tsukamoto Kazuo, it was actually him..."

Upon hearing the name, Won Bin instantly understood the reason behind the matter.

"Mr. Yuan, you've also heard of Kazuo Tsukamoto?"

Li Xin couldn't help but say.

"Hey……"

Yuan Bin stood up from his chair and sighed deeply, saying, "How could I not know him..."

After a pause, Yuan Bin said to Li Xin, "Do you remember Old Xu I just mentioned?"

Li Xin nodded.

“His daughter went to work at Kazuo Tsukamoto’s company a few years ago. One day she was working overtime… and then she never came home again…”

Won Bin slammed his hand on the table, and a perfectly good solid wood table shattered into pieces instantly.

"Kazuo Tsukamoto, that guy is a demon!"

Yuan Bin's face was filled with hatred: "That guy slaughtered our compatriots on our land during World War II. After the war, he returned to Japan and did not stop harming the people of China. I really wish I could kill him with my own hands!"

The purpose of Zhonghualou is to protect the people of the Central Plains, while Tsukamoto Kazuo's favorite thing is to rape women and slaughter men of the Central Plains. Their positions are naturally opposed, and they have already clashed in secret several times. However, although Yuan Bin, the owner of Zhonghualou, is highly skilled in martial arts, he is the only expert in Zhonghualou. On the other hand, the Tsukamoto Group is rich and powerful, and has close ties with high-ranking government officials and political bigwigs. How can a group of outsiders like them defeat him?

Li Xin also stood up and said, "Boss Yuan, I see that your martial arts skills are unfathomable. Killing Tsukamoto Kazuo should not be difficult for you. Why..."

Upon hearing Li Xin's words, Yuan Bin's face immediately showed utter dejection.

"Yes, killing Tsukamoto Kazuo wouldn't be difficult..."

Yuan Bin shook his head and sighed, "Although he has countless bodyguards and experts protecting him, I could still kill him if I really wanted to. However, I... no, it's the Zhonghua Building behind me that can't afford the consequences of killing him."

"as a result of?"

"Yes."

Won Bin asked Lee Shin, "Do you know the power of money?"
