Sato Jinpachi finished speaking, then hopped onto the motorcycle beside him, revved the engine, and disappeared into the distance like a gust of wind.
"Damn," Xiao Yun smiled slightly as he watched Sato Jinpachi vanish into the blizzard. "Do you think your words can threaten me, Master Xiao?"
The rain had stopped, but the snow continued to fall heavily; the chaotic footprints imprinted in the snow were quickly covered by the accumulating snow.
White Wolf, lying on the ground, had already been taken away by Black Wolf. It seemed as if nothing had happened here just moments ago.
...
Over an hour later, Xiao Yun returned to the inn where he was staying.
Seeing Xiao Yun suddenly appear in the room drenched, Tofu Xishi was taken aback and hurriedly approached to ask, " Dragon Three Younger Brother, what... what happened to you?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's rare to see the snowy scenery of Island Nation, I just took a stroll outside!" Xiao Yun replied nonchalantly.
Tofu Xishi said, "Then you should have brought some rain gear!"
As she spoke, she quickly pushed him toward the bathroom, saying, "Silly boy, hurry up and take a hot shower and change out of those clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold!"
It seemed that Tofu Xishi was quite warm-hearted. If only she weren't related to Wei Qinghe.
While taking a shower in the bathroom, Xiao Yun couldn't help but think of Kato Miyoko. That woman had also been soaked by the rain; he wondered where Sato Jinpachi had taken her at this moment.
Thinking of Kato Miyoko, Xiao Yun suddenly felt a bit regretful. Mud Horse, did I go a bit too far with this?
What if something happens to Kato Miyoko?
But then again, on the way back, he had already inquired about Sato Jinpachi from Kawagawa Haruko. Although this guy had been a contract killer and was cruel and ruthless, he wasn't particularly lecherous aside from being greedy for money.
Moreover, Sato Jinpachi was very strict with his subordinates, so he wouldn't harm Kato Miyoko.
Furthermore, Sato Jinpachi was being paid to target only me, Xiao Yun. Now that he had kidnapped Kato Miyoko, it was merely a way to threaten me.
With that thought, Master Xiao felt more at ease.
After all, Kato Miyoko was his direct superior at Paradise Beauty Club. To successfully retrieve the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, he couldn't let her suffer any serious harm; what he needed to do was completely subdue her.
Damn it, who would have thought the opportunity would be this good? Kato Miyoko originally wanted to use that Dead Fatty Wu to take me out but didn't expect she would come to watch the fun. Isn't this just handing herself over for me to deal with?
Haha, I bet this woman is having a hard time tonight; she must feel like it's better to be dead than alive...
The more he thought about it, the funnier it seemed. Xiao Yun excitedly hummed a little tune.
When he finished his shower and came out, Tofu Xishi had already prepared the meal and brought it to the table.
Xiao Yun sat down at the table, and Tofu Xishi took out a bottle of wine and poured him a glass. Suddenly, with a charming smile, she said in a sweet voice, "Now you can drink while telling me what happened today between you and your company's Brand Director Kato Miyoko."
Hearing Boss Lady's words, Xiao Yun couldn't help but be taken aback. How did she know about this?
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Tofu Xishi, I don't understand what you mean!"
Boss Lady replied, "Stop hiding it from me. Do you think I don't know? Today, that Wu the Fat wanted to invite you to dinner at Ximenkou Uranus Hotel, but he didn't go. Instead, Kato Miyoko rushed over. I know you don't get along with either of them; there must be something going on."
As expected of Wei Qinghe's person, she had managed to uncover even such secret matters. Speaking of which, since Wei Qinghe could place her here in Paradise Beauty Club, she must have her own channels of information.
However, these were not the things Xiao Yun was concerned about.
For Master Xiao, since all parties were vying for the Heart-Cleansing Pearl, he had naturally become the focus of attention. He was already transparent; it didn't matter how others viewed him.
What he needed to do was to seize the Heart-Cleansing Pearl.
"Alright then, I'll tell you. Here's what happened..." Xiao Yun felt there was no need to hide anything from Boss Lady and recounted everything that had occurred that night.
However, when mentioning that Kato Miyoko was taken away by Sato Jinpachi, Xiao Yun did not reveal that this was part of his own scheme.
After listening to Xiao Yun's account, Boss Lady was momentarily stunned and said, "What? Kato Miyoko was taken away by Sato Jinpachi's people? It seems this was your intention all along?"
Xiao Yun realized that this Boss Lady was indeed a clever fox—sharp and astute, as if she could read his mind.
When her eyes smiled, Xiao Yun always felt they could captivate one's soul.
Faced with Boss Lady's question and her gentle yet alluring gaze, his heart raced uncontrollably. He nodded and said, "Yes, they wanted to use Sato Jinpachi to eliminate me; I just played along with their plan..."
"Dragon Three Younger Brother, you're really impressive! Are you trying to take this opportunity to subdue Director Kato?" Boss Lady asked with a smile.
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "That's right. If I don't subdue her, how can I hold my ground in the club in the future?"
"If I'm guessing correctly, it won't be long before Kato Miyoko calls you for help!" Boss Lady laughed.
Just as her words fell, Xiao Yun's phone rang.
Xiao Yun took out his phone and saw that the caller ID was indeed Kato Miyoko.
In fact, when Sato Jinpachi mentioned waiting for his call tomorrow, Xiao Yun had already thought that Kato Miyoko would definitely not be able to endure this difficult night.
With Kato Miyoko's arrogant personality and her extreme disdain for men, how could she tolerate being kidnapped by Sato Jinpachi and those thugs?
He couldn't even imagine what dangers she might encounter that night. She could only call Xiao Yun for rescue and would never call Wu the Fat.
Of course, as long as she called Wu the Fat, once her identity was clarified, Sato Jinpachi would quickly release her. It was a joke; she was the true mastermind behind this matter. After so many years in the underworld, Sato Jinpachi surely knew the weight of things.
However, Xiao Yun could imagine that Kato Miyoko would absolutely not dare to call that Dead Fatty Wu.
The reason was simple: once Kato Miyoko's identity was exposed, what impact would it have on her if this matter got out?
Given her current situation, she had no one else to turn to for help except Xiao Yun. And the reason Xiao Yun pushed Kato Miyoko onto Sato Jinpachi was precisely to achieve this effect.
