Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

"He clearly came from the underworld, but he recruited his first batch of employees under the guise of forming a gang."

"Not only did he find the most suitable way to make money, he also quickly led his gang members to become wealthy and escape their humble status as soon as possible."

"Now... you only know about big gangs like the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Okawa-kai, and medium-sized gangs like our Tomoe. Even you, who call yourself my friend, would impulsively yell at me, 'You Yakuza!'"

"But do any of you still remember the Shihodo Group? It turns out they were also Yakuza?"

"Now, when people mention the Sifangtang Consortium, whether it's the common people or your group... they will respectfully call them the Consortium, not the Sifangtang Association."

"On the other hand, with our rapid economic development, who would want to live in such a precarious situation? How far can we go?"

"Don't be fooled by the large number of gang members and the fact that it looks so prosperous now. What about in ten or twenty years?"

"Will the younger generation still be willing to join? What will happen to us when we get older?"

Hearing this, Qing Muan calmed down and said hesitantly: "So, you also want to help "Ba" transform?"

Shishishenlu smiled and said, "Yes."

"Are we going to learn from them? What are the gains?" Qing Muan felt a little complicated, but he also felt that Shishi Shenlu's request was very reasonable.

Being able to be an ordinary citizen working from nine to five, without having to fight and kill like before, at least the idea is good.

Shishi Shenlu showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "How can it be that easy? I'm still working hard..."

As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the bird's small back, thinking to himself: It's almost there, he's almost there...

……

Chapter 024 He Prepared the Intent to Kill You

It was almost dusk.

Yan Zhu completed her daily tasks once again.

Getting out of the car, she walked at her usual pace and headed towards the house where she and her children lived.

If it weren't for Shuyue, Yan Zhu thought she would have no place to go back to.

This large square-shaped mansion is not her home at all.

All the father wants is for the family to prosper, and even the children are just tools.

In the eyes of his father, an incompetent child has no right to live.

A child without weaknesses will be seen as a threat by his father.

Over the years, Yan Zhu has tried her best to stay alive.

To be a child that makes his father proud;

In order to become the heir to the Sifangtang Consortium;

In order to become the capable yet vulnerable Yanzhu of Sifangtang...

She has been working very hard.

It's not for anyone else.

But for yourself.

When she heard her child was missing, she thought her life was over.

Yan Zhu kept walking on the path as the sun gradually set.

I recall the innocence in the child's eyes when he looked at me.

My heart suddenly tightened.

As a mother, she actually needs her child to save her and makes her child worry about her. She is really lame.

Before she knew it, Yan Zhu had reached the door of the mansion, but she stopped.

Yan Zhu laughed strangely.

What on earth is she afraid of?

Is there anything she can't lose?

There was a soft "squeak".

The front gate was opened from the inside.

Shuyue appeared behind the door wearing a white yukata and a smile on her face.

"Welcome back, Mom..." he said.

Hearing the child's heavenly voice again, Yan Zhu felt the inexplicable sadness disappear in an instant.

"Ah~ I'm back."

A gentle smile appeared on Yan Zhu's cold face.

Shuyue tilted her head, looked at Yanzhu curiously, and continued with a smile: "I made the meal myself today, mom can try it."

"Oh?" Yan Zhu took another step towards the door and said, "The food you cook must be delicious."

Shuyue turned around seemingly unintentionally and said in her innocent tone, "Today I used the water spinach that Uncle Lu gave me."

When Yan Zhu heard Shu Yue mention the Lion God Road, her smile suddenly froze and even her steps stopped for a moment.

But this abnormality only lasted for a moment.

Yan Zhu put away her smile and narrowed her eyes slightly. She said lightly: "Really? Is it delicious?"

"It's okay. He gave me three pounds." Shuyue turned his back to Yan Zhu and said softly, "I made several dishes. Please try them and see which one you like."

Yan Zhu nodded absentmindedly, "Thank you for your hard work. Actually, these things can be left to the servants."

"I'm pretty bored at home anyway." Shuyue said without comment.

As they were talking, the mother and son came to the hall of the mansion.

The meal was served and the tableware was set.

Yan Zhu glanced at it.

On the table were dishes that Yan Zhu had never seen before.

It looks like the leaves are stir-fried with garlic;

It looks like the stems of vegetables fried with chili peppers;

It looks like a vegetable leaf stir-fried with meat;

It looks like scrambled egg leaves;

……

Didn't understand.

It doesn't look like traditional Japanese food, but the appearance is not bad.

Yan Zhu went to wash her hands, and then sat opposite Shu Yue.

It is the mother who should take care of the child's food, clothing, and daily life, but Shuyue and Yanzhu's roles are now reversed.

They both raised their chopsticks at the same time, muttering "I'm going to eat", and then the leisurely dinner time began.

“This is stir-fried water spinach with garlic.”

"This is stir-fried water spinach stems in garlic chili sauce."

"This is fried water spinach leaves with oil residue."

"This is chopped water spinach fried with egg."

"This is steamed taro, cured fish, and cured meat."

"Sakura shrimp rice."

Shuyue's childish voice echoed in the space.

Yan Zhu held the bowl and tasted each dish silently. After finishing, Yan Zhu smiled and praised Shu Yue, "Shu Yue, the food is delicious. Thank you for your hard work, but..."

She wanted to say that cooking is not something you should do.

But thinking back, she had said it a few days ago, but Shuyue said that he liked it very much and it was okay to do it occasionally.

There was silence for a while.

Yan Zhu, still holding the bowl and chopsticks, said, "Shuyue, do you like Shishi Shenlu?"

Shuyue was still eating and said nonchalantly, "I can't say I like it, but I don't hate it either."

"I've never seen these dishes in Japan." Yan Zhu stared at Shuyue. "Shishishenlu has been visiting quite often lately. I've refused his requests to meet several times, but... he's made an offer to you. Shuyue, if you want to eat anything, just ask Mom."

Hearing this, Shuyue raised her eyes and looked at Yanzhu, who had a calm expression. "I don't have anything special I want to eat, Mom."

With a "pop".

Yan Zhu slammed the clean dishes on the table in annoyance.

Shu Yue had just put a mouthful of rice into his mouth when all his movements were frozen by Yan Zhu's sudden action.

"I don't have anything special to eat, so why did you accept the food he gave me?" Yan Zhu's voice turned cold. "Or do you want him to be your stepfather?"

A wave of panic struck Shuyue's heart.

That was the fear of the original owner for his mother that remained in this body.

However, this feeling only lasted for a second before Shu Yue suppressed it.

"puff--"

Shuyue sneered, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked directly at his mother who seemed on the verge of a rage.

"Mom, don't be angry." Shuyue picked up the wet towel beside her and wiped her hands, saying nonchalantly, "I dare not underestimate a man who can use me to kill the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Okawa-kai with just a few words."

Hearing this, Yan Zhu stared at Shu Yue in a daze. She said in a voice as calm as possible, "What did you say?"

"Did Mom forget so quickly?"

After wiping his hands, Shuyue picked up the bowl again and asked, "Have you forgotten why you hoped those two gangs would disappear?"

Yan Zhu frowned and remained silent.

But Shuyue continued, "Shishigamilu has taken control of your emotions."

"That was the first time I met him face to face. Before that, it was always Rin who was dealing with them." Yan Zhu retorted disapprovingly: "I want to get rid of those two organizations. It has nothing to do with Shishigami Road."

"So what if it's our first meeting?" Shuyue put the food into her bowl and said with lowered eyes, "What's important is that he prepared the reason and killing intention for you. If he has prepared the killing intention for you, you will act on your own. There's no need to remind you to kill those gangs."

Yan Zhu: “…”

Shuyue's heavenly voice remained the same, "He offered you a discount in exchange for being the 'first to try' in your next business, reminding you that there is no such thing as 'the first to try'. Instead, there's the harsh reality that 'the more money we make, the more aggressively they grab it.'"

"The Lion God Road made you think that they would not stop sucking blood. You were both afraid and angry."

"Shishigami Road reminds you of what we will face if we openly resist the Yamaguchi-gumi."

"Lion God Road has given you an idea. If you want to avoid being taken advantage of and avoid conflict with Grandpa, there's only one way that best serves our interests, and that's to kill those guys who collect protection money."

"Lion God Road implants these reasons and emotions into your heart, causing you to automatically develop murderous intent. This is his method."

After hearing these words, Yan Zhu's expression became terrifying.

"It doesn't matter how you'll do it." Shu Yue smiled innocently. "What he needs to do is to make the outcome he wants happen as much as possible without getting his hands dirty. At the same time... even if we knew his intentions, we would still choose to do it."

"We have to do this because he suggests that we are taking the path that is in our best interests at the moment."

Chapter 025 Mother Yan Zhu is not a pushover either

Yan Zhu took a few deep breaths, then looked at Shu Yue seriously, "So, you plan to make friends with him?"

Shu Yue stared at Yan Zhu and spoke slowly, "A god-like teammate has come to us. Why not cooperate with him peacefully for a while?"

Yan Zhu looked helpless. She glanced around and finally fixed her gaze on Shuyue. She said melancholy, "I originally thought that Shishi Shenlu was a difficult man to deal with. Now after hearing what you said, I think he's even more terrifying. Making friends with a man like him is like dancing with wolves."

"Mom, everything is about interests." Shu Yue looked at Yan Zhu and said, "Only when both parties have enough value can we cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."

"Mom, we should let others take the initiative in making friends, and we just need to improve our own value and strength."

Yan Zhu stared at her son's childish face in a daze, listening to his heavenly voice and the bewitching words he spoke one by one.
