"We will be friends forever."
When Fujiwara Shunsui's voice came from the other end of the phone, Higashisho Ji frowned again and secretly glanced at Nagasawa Kawa.
He didn't know why Fujiwara Shunsui would say such a thing.
Logically, their relationship hadn't reached that point yet.
Most importantly, Higashisho Ji didn't understand what was going on with the sudden "ambiguity" between Nagasawa Kawa and Fujiwara Shunsui.
Besides Higashisho Ji, Nagasawa Makoto's expression wasn't good after hearing that sentence.
Clearly, he knew who his elder brother was calling.
He had thought he could use this opportunity to further elevate his status within the family, and even gain more family resources under his control.
But looking at the current situation, that seemed unlikely.
More importantly, Sankou-gumi's Fujiwara Shunsui revealed some ambiguous information over the phone, which made Nagasawa Makoto's mood extremely bad.
Nagasawa Makoto, with a gloomy expression, said to his elder brother and Higashisho Ji:
"Such a big incident happened in the family, and now the person has been found. I think it's necessary to bring him back home."
"That way, even if Father asks, we'll have an explanation for Sankou-gumi."
At this moment, several of Nagasawa Makoto's trusted subordinates stood behind him.
He signaled them to take the man away.
But clearly, he had misjudged the situation.
"Makoto, you've already heard Mr. Harumizu's reply. I think the issues between Sankou-gumi and the family have been resolved."
"We are not sure if Mr. Harumizu will still need this person, so you cannot take him away."
Nagasawa Kawa gave Higashisho Ji a look, and he instantly understood.
Higashisho Ji dismissed the men behind Nagasawa Makoto and called his own men to take the man away.
Regardless of Fujiwara Shunsui's attitude, the safety of this truck driver must be guaranteed, and he must be well-fed and well-cared for.
Even if he is just an irrelevant outsider now, he is a crucial outsider...
After hanging up the phone, Fujiwara Shunsui didn't know what was happening inside the Higashikawa Club.
He only knew that he was very satisfied with Nagasawa Kawa's attitude, and the development of events was pretty much as he had expected.
If Higashisho Ji and the Nagasawa Family really wanted to assassinate him, they wouldn't leave such a big clue, and such a clue is too indicative.
Only brainless secondary male characters in novels and movies would believe such a cliché hint, but he is Fujiwara Shunsui!
Harumizu said to Nissho Taro beside him, "Taro, you go back to the apartment first. I always feel like I've missed some information."
Taro was replying to messages on his phone with his head down. Hearing Fujiwara Shunsui's words, his fingers didn't stop moving for a moment, and he replied without looking up:
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for Kojima Bin to protect the apartment immediately. He's experienced in this kind of work!"
Just as he finished speaking, Nissho Taro seemed to have seen some incredible news.
He stood up with a "whoosh" and turned his head!
"Lord Harumizu! It really was the Nagasawa Family who made a move."
"Someone has already provided me with specific information, saying that as long as the price is right, they will provide us with information about the assassins hired by the Nagasawa Family!"
"They said the Nagasawa Family has already protected the assassins, so they need some funds to operate!"
"They really don't know their place, daring to lay hands on you and Yuna. I'll gather our people right now and go to war with the Nagasawa Family!"
Nissho Taro's anger was visible to the naked eye.
At times like this, it's easy to get emotional, especially with such half-true news.
The other party even presented the answer he had expected, so there was no reason not to believe it!
Nissho Taro was in such a state now; he was already furiously dialing a number.
Looking at the angry Nissho Taro, Harumizu just found Taro a bit cute at the moment.
He snatched his phone, hung up the call, and said to Taro:
"What are you doing!"
"Withdraw the previous bounty and announce to the public that someone maliciously framed the Nagasawa Family."
"At the same time, issue another bounty, raising the reward amount to twenty million Japanese yen!"
Harumizu tossed Nissho Taro's phone back to him, which left Nissho Taro utterly bewildered.
At this moment, he had no idea what Fujiwara Shunsui was thinking.
But the best thing about Nissho Taro was his unconditional trust in Fujiwara Shunsui!
And so, in just one day, Nissho Taro and Sankou-gumi became the biggest topic of discussion in Shinjuku's underworld.
[Nissho Taro: After investigation, an unknown force maliciously provoked the relationship between Sankou-gumi and the Nagasawa Family, and deliberately framed the Nagasawa Family. We are now soliciting clues; a reward of twenty million Japanese yen will be given upon verification!]
Two bounties in one day; the originally low-key Nissho Taro could be said to have once again become a "Shinjuku New Star."
"Twenty million Japanese yen? Sankou-gumi is really crazy!"
"I knew someone in the Nagasawa Family wouldn't be so blind as to challenge Sankou-gumi!"
"Could it be the Nagasawa Family's rivals who caught wind of something and orchestrated this big show?"
"..."
Now, various chat groups are discussing all sorts of things, but everyone is just reposting news and gossiping.
Very few people actually have inside information...
"Brothers, did you see that? That Nissho Taro is actually the bald guy we beat up!"
"We even broke his finger. Do you think he'll retaliate against us?"
"It's over, it's over. We probably can't stay in Shinjuku anymore. I didn't expect this guy to have so much power in Sankou-gumi!"
"Should we go apologize to him proactively?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Higashisho Ji already handled this matter a week ago. You should all thank Mr. Higashisho Ji!"
"Thank you, Mr. Higashisho Ji is indeed the most trustworthy person among us."
"Only Mr. Higashisho Ji cares about the lives of people like us at the bottom."
"Remember, some things should be said, and some things should not."
...This was the chain reaction triggered after Nissho Taro spread the news.
In the various chat groups of Shinjuku's major families and underworld organizations, there were different reactions to this matter, but what Fujiwara Shunsui most anticipated still hadn't appeared.
Fujiwara Shunsui had now figured out one thing: he wanted to fall in love and collect rent, but he wanted everyone to not disturb his happy life, so he could only stand at the top of the food chain...
Nissho Taro's phone rang again.
Taro's phone had barely stopped ringing tonight, with all sorts of messages.
However, Harumizu had already told him to put his phone on silent.
"Ring ring ring ~"
A clear phone ring broke the silence of the hospital night.
A bad premonition lingered in Harumizu's heart, annoying him!
The moment the sound appeared, both Nissho Taro and Fujiwara Shunsui were visibly stunned for a moment.
Harumizu first let out an impatient "Tsk."
Then he softly said to Nissho Taro:
"This is a hospital, Taro! Keep it down!"
After seeing who was calling, Nissho Taro immediately answered the phone, nodded apologetically to Fujiwara Shunsui, and jogged to the stairwell to take the call.
"What?"
"Okay, I understand!"
Clearly, what was said on the other end of the phone was something that Nissho Taro couldn't believe, which caused his earlier Loss of composure(loss of composure).
Nissho Taro jogged back to Fujiwara Shunsui's side and whispered in his ear:
"Lord Harumizu, Kojima Bin called! The staff in the apartment's surveillance room were injected with a tranquilizer, and it was just discovered!"
