His eyes glanced at Takano who was lying at Ryuhiko's feet and the wakizashi who fell to the side, and he almost instantly understood what had happened here.
Seeing a hint of vigilance in Long Yan's eyes, he quickly raised his hands and said quickly: "Don't...don't get me wrong, I'm a cameraman for the Asahi Shimbun, and I'm not in the same group with these people. Just now we saw him coming over here with a knife, and I rushed over because I was afraid that something might happen to you. Are you...are you okay?"
After finishing speaking, the big man swallowed unconsciously.
Although the young man in front of him looks like just a high school student, if what he just did were placed in ancient times, he would definitely be a great swordsman who could kill people!
Even though Long Yan looked thinner and shorter than him, he could not find any sense of security from his 1.90-meter-tall body.
Hearing this, Long Yan's expression was slightly stunned at first.
Asahi Shimbun?
reporter?
He didn't understand why the reporter was here.
If they were frontline reporters investigating criminal gangs and filming their crimes, shouldn't they have reported the situation here to the Metropolitan Police Department?
However, Long Yan was also a man with a sharp eye. Judging from the words and expressions of the burly man in front of him, it did not seem that he was lying. In comparison, he was more concerned about another thing. But before he opened his mouth, he started talking about another topic.
"You guys? Do you have other companions here?"
However, just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face suddenly appeared in the corridor.
As if he heard Long Yan's words, he trotted in front of Long Yan, took a breath, pointed at Takano on the ground and said, "I'm Sato Keisuke, a reporter from Asahi Shimbun, and he's my VJ Matsumoto Shota. You're amazing. You can beat so many yakuza. When I saw this guy coming up with a knife just now, my intuition kept reminding me that I should come over to help. Fortunately, you're okay, otherwise I would regret it for the rest of my life! We can't stay here for long, let's leave first, I have a car, I'll take you to the hospital now!"
As he spoke, the uncle named Sato Keisuke took out a press card from his trouser pocket and waved it at Long Yan.
How did you see that I was okay?
I'm bleeding, uncle!
Although it was quite uncomfortable to have the food stuck in Long Yan's throat, he still endured it.
Judging from what the reporter named Keisuke Sato said, it was obvious that they had been hiding in a corner and observing him for a long time. At least there was a high probability that they saw him fighting one against a hundred.
Honestly speaking, Long Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with their inaction at all, and he even felt a little fortunate.
Although he had the double status card with him in this pursuit, he was determined to die from the beginning. If he unfortunately died here, at least there would be someone to help call the police to rescue Teruhashi Kokomi and others, and his body would not have to be made into a concrete pillar and sunk into Tokyo Bay alone.
Besides, regardless of whether he was of any help, the fact that he stood up when he saw Takano holding a weapon was enough to win back Long Yan's favor.
What's more, these two people appeared at the right time.
You have to know that when I chased after him, I was riding Bando Ueto's motorcycle.
It was already amazing that this kind of racing car could carry two people. In the current situation where they had to leave the enemy base as soon as possible, he was still racking his brains over how to quickly take the eight girls behind him away from here.
The appearance of these two people just solved his urgent problem.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn around and shout to the factory director's office: "Teruhashi, come out, everything is fine."
After hearing Long Yan's call, Teruhashi Xinmei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She nodded slightly to the female college student in front of her, and then went out first.
To be honest, although Keisuke Sato was a little disappointed that he didn't get the big news, and even doubted whether his keen sense of smell that pushed him to the position of "ace reporter" was really malfunctioning due to his decadence over the years, but as he said, at least after confirming that Ryuhiko was safe, he felt greatly relieved.
However, when he saw the eight disheveled young girls following Teruhashi Shinmi out of the factory director's office, he felt that his journalist's heart that was about to die out in pursuit of the truth suddenly became hot again.
The Yakuza, the young swordsman, and the kidnapped young girl.
What an explosive topic this is! Just by relying on his imagination, he can come up with countless news that are enough to attract readers' attention, not to mention that his partner has the video footage of Long Yan fighting against hundreds of armed thugs alone!
Obviously, Long Yan had read something from Keisuke Sato's eyes, but Long Yan did not have any intention of refusing.
In his previous life, he had dealt with many reporters. He knew what these people were looking for, and those were exactly what he needed now.
Seeing that the urgent matter had been resolved, looking at Sato Keisuke who was urging the girls to leave with him as soon as possible, Long Yan finally asked the question he cared about most: "By the way, if you are reporters, you should have a USB drive with you, right?"
.........cut.........
PS. Tomorrow is the day when the second book of my life will be put on the shelves. To be honest, although I have been writing books for more than a year, I am still quite nervous. I will post a few words about my feelings about the book being put on the shelves later. I hope everyone is okay!
Remarks on listing & last day of reward
This book will be on the shelves this Friday, which is tomorrow.
How should I put it? Although I have been writing books for more than a year, and the data of this book is much better than my previous one, this does not change the fact that this is only the second time I have put it on the shelves. I am still as nervous and anxious as the last time.
Fortunately, up to now, although some people have said some unpleasant things because of the title of the book (to be honest, I just thought the joke was interesting at the time, and simply thought it was used to express affirmation after negation, but I didn’t expect...), at least the vast majority of book friends who read this book are still quite friendly to me, and most of the comments between book reviews are encouraging. I am really grateful that you have accompanied me all the way here!
I would also like to thank my editor Suanrong, Uncle Hei (Deathwing Neltharion), Brother Tazi (not Tazijiang), Shenwang (a big guy who does not want to reveal his name(?ω?)), Puff, Nanque and other big guys who have guided me. If it weren't for their enlightenment and I had written according to the draft I originally conceived, I might have died on the spot.
At the same time, I would also like to thank my good brothers Shenxia, Jiuming, CC, Xiexie, Wangeqingsu, Baozou Dedaimao, Langjilao, Yeye, Yufeng Qianshan, Shaluoshuangshu, Ahpao, Wuyan, Qingming, Gezai, Shifeng and many other brothers for their help. Without their py and the great help from all my friends, I would not be able to make it into the top ten of the click list during the novice period.
I have received so much help along the way, and I am truly grateful!
I'll stop here for now to express my gratitude. Tomorrow is the first day the book is put on the shelves. Because of the bounty before the Spring Festival, I already owe some chapters. I will start paying them back tomorrow. I will update two chapters when the book is put on the shelves at 12 noon, and then continue to update later. Maybe if I can code quickly, I can pay off the owed chapters in one day tomorrow. After all, the amount I owe is not much, kukukukuku!
In a word, everyone please subscribe and give your children a chance to eat instant noodles with sausage!
Thanks in advance!
Let me say something off topic.
The bounty offered before the Spring Festival happens to have its last day tomorrow. I will settle the bounty at 11:50 tomorrow night. If any big guys are interested, you can consider accepting the bounty. There is only about a day left anyway, and I don’t believe you can kill me!
For your convenience, I will post the reward rules here again.
2000 recommendation votes plus one more update.
200 monthly tickets plus one update.
Because razor blades are not included in the readers' Spring Festival consumption king event, razor blades are omitted.
10000 cat coins reward plus one more chapter (excluding gold and silver treasure chests)
Generally speaking, there is no upper limit.
Anyway, I think not many people will pick up the phone.
One chapter is about 2K words, and it only takes one day, so that’s probably the reward.
I would like to emphasize again here that if you think I am a liar, you can ignore this reward, it is entirely voluntary, but if you criticize me, I can only say "goodbye".
I don't have any advantages when it comes to writing books, except that I am persistent. Friends who have read my old books should know that although my writing is average and I am not very good at writing due to my part-time job, except for the two days of my and my wife's birthdays, even if I was sick or had to take leave for something urgent, I would definitely make up for the chapters I owed or had a reward for.
The author who never owes updates always speaks so confidently!
Woo woo woo woo, I'm done being tough, let me say one last thing quietly, after reading this speech, all the big guys please click "Auto-Subscribe" on the page behind.
I support it! (〒︿〒)
Chapter 58: Unknown Enemy [First Order Request]
Honestly, it's stupid to carry a laptop around with you. Not only is it obvious, but it's also hard to keep this important trump card in your hands.
But it’s different with a USB flash drive. It’s not only convenient for backup, but also easy to hide.
Fortunately, although Keisuke Sato had some guesses in his mind after hearing what Ryuhiko said, he suppressed his curiosity as a reporter and took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Ryuhiko in a very "considerate" manner.
“Well, there happens to be one, but if possible, could you accept an exclusive interview with me later?
Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."
However, although Keisuke Sato did not ask much, he proposed corresponding exchange conditions.
Looking at Keisuke Sato who was handing over the USB flash drive, although Long Yan didn't know how much the reporter had seen, he agreed without even thinking about it.
He needs a channel to speak out. This interview is undoubtedly a mutually beneficial thing for both Keisuke Sato and him.
The desire to escape from the devil's den drove everyone to the first floor of the factory quickly.
Keisuke Sato's car is the same as Takuma Saito's, a three-box Toyota Corolla, which is also one of the most common family sedans in Japan.
The driver and co-driver seats were undoubtedly for two big reporters. Although the remaining space was a bit narrow, fortunately, Teruhashi Shinmi and the other nine people were not overly plump girls, and with the space in the trunk, they could still squeeze in if they squeezed a little.
After all, in a certain magical country, it is standard for a small van to carry thirty or forty people. In such a critical moment, there is no time to care about so many things.
However, just as the girls were squeezing the limited passenger space of the Corolla without caring about their image, Long Yan's gaze suddenly turned towards the direction he came from in the distance.
"What's wrong, Long Yanjun?"
As if she had realized that Long Yan was abnormal, Teruhashi Xinmei asked hurriedly.
Perhaps because he had obtained 20 [Vehicle Driving Experience Packs], Long Yan was now extremely sensitive to vehicles.
Although the sound was very small, he could vaguely hear, amid the sound of heavy rain, a large number of fully loaded vehicles speeding towards him.
Logically speaking, the people coming could be the police led by Watanabe Masayuki, or they could be enemy troops coming to support DOUBT from other bases.
But as for the sound, something seems to be wrong.
"Mr. Sato, did you call the police just now?"
He did not respond to Teruhashi Kokomi's question, but leaned into the car next to him, looked at Sato Keisuke, who had pushed his passenger seat to the front with his chest touching the center console, and asked quickly.
Hearing this, Sato Keisuke was stunned for a moment, then he responded with a bitter face: "Although as a reporter, I also want to catch some big news, but I also have my own bottom line. When I saw you, a child, facing so many gangsters alone, I called the police, but the signal here in the factory has not been very good, and I was unable to dial the phone successfully until I saw you."
Hearing this, Long Yan frowned slightly, and took out his flip phone from his pocket to take a look.
Indeed, there is no signal.
He was puzzled at first, because it would have been fine if he had been on the phone with Teruhashi Shinmi during the pursuit in the rainy night, but he had already cleared a "copy" on his side, but Watanabe Masayuki had never contacted him on his own initiative. It turned out that there was no signal.
A look of helplessness flashed across Long Yan's eyes. He quickly lay down, ignoring the puddles on the ground, and put his ear directly on the cold concrete floor.
Although the sound just coming from the rain was not very clear, in the relatively open factory area, he was able to instantly identify the oncoming vehicle through the vibration of the ground, thanks to his almost magical understanding of vehicles.
There were about thirteen or fourteen vehicles, mostly vans and pickup trucks, and each vehicle carried four to five adults.
Although the information was limited, Long Yan figured it out immediately.
The person coming is definitely not the police!
Although the speed of equipment replacement is slow due to various institutional constraints, the Metropolitan Police Department's funding does not allow for large-scale use of vans and pickup trucks as police vehicles. Even the elite SAT force responsible for counter-terrorism and hostage rescue at least uses heavy armed police vehicles.
Just by using the vehicle, Long Yan could tell that the people coming must be DOUBT reinforcements!
Thinking of this, Long Yan couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Watanabe Masahiro.
Although Japan's camera coverage rate is not as good as China's, Tokyo is an international metropolis, so it is not difficult to find and track a person in the city, not to mention that Long Yan basically walks on the main roads.
Not to mention that he had just cleared a DOUBT stronghold alone and even had his pursuers waiting for him. If Watanabe Masayuki had not treated his request for help negatively, then there would only be one possibility.
A high-ranking official of the Metropolitan Police Department, with the instruction of Ryuhei Ueno, deliberately delayed the rescue of Masayuki Watanabe.
It seems that I have many more enemies than I thought.
A gleam of light flashed quickly in Long Yan's eyes, and he immediately made a decision in his heart.
"You go first, I'll lure them away."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the factory.
There, is where his Ninja H2 is parked.
But just as he turned around, his shirt, which had already been soaked by the rain, was suddenly pulled by someone.
He turned around and saw it was Teruhashi Kokomi.
The beautiful young girl first looked at the large bloodstain on Long Yan's abdomen with concern, then said quickly with a firm look in her eyes: "I'll go with you!"
She did not stop Long Yan. She saw determination in Long Yan's eyes.
That is a determination that cannot be changed no matter what.
So, in Teruhashi Shinmi's opinion.
At least... at least let her, the one who put Long Yan in deep crisis, bear the responsibility together with him!
But just as she finished her words, Long Yan flatly refused: "No, it's too dangerous, you go with Mr. Sato and the others!"
But Teruhashi Xinmei seemed to have anticipated what Long Yan would say. She just pointed at the Corolla that was already stuffed like a can of sardines and laughed softly, "Not only in the car, but even the trunk has no room for anyone to lie down. You can't let me lie on the roof, right? Besides, I'm very lucky. I was kidnapped, but Long Yanjun rescued me immediately. If I follow you, maybe you will be blessed by luck too."
Sure enough, following Teruhashi Xinmei's finger, the female college student's face was pressed tightly against the rear window of the Corolla, and she was looking at Long Yan outside the window with an embarrassed expression.
"Ugh......"
A silent sigh came out of Long Yan's mouth. After all, this was not that magical country. It was really the limit to fit seven women and two men in a small car.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was shivering a little from the cold rain but pretending to be nothing and looking at him, Long Yan no longer refused. Instead, he reached out his hand, smoothed her messy hair, and said in a deep voice.
