Chapter 502: Chapter 502
Ding Fan opened the safe, and inside were some jewelry and several bundles of US dollars. In addition to that, there was a kraft paper document bag.
Two words were written on this document bag. Top Secret. The source of this content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
Japanese script was derived from Huaxia characters, and these two words were the same in both languages, so Ding Fan could recognize them.
Immediately, Ding Fan took the jewelry, the bundles of US dollars, and the kraft paper document bag and stowed them all away.
After having done this, Ding Fan picked up Sister Liu. Sister Liu, however, had not yet awakened.
Ding Fan summoned Zizai, and a torrent of Nine Luminaries Fire spewed out, engulfing the large bar in flames in no time, while Ding Fan had already left the place, carrying Sister Liu on his back.
Inside the underground meeting room of Asahi Pharmaceutical Factory.
"Dammit, who the hell did this? What on earth is that idiot Takeda doing?"
Bang! Section Chief Xiao Lin slammed his fist down hard on the table.
"Section Chief, that top-secret document that was given to Takeda is still in his headquarters, Dayun Nightclub. Right now, I'm concerned about whether there is a problem with that document, and whether the annihilation of the Mita Group this time was targeted at us," Xiao Dao said with a furrowed brow.
"I've already sent people to Dayun Nightclub, the fire was fierce there, and nothing was left after it burned down, so that document should not be left behind," Xiao Lin said. "However, to wipe out the Mita Group headquarters, such a big move cannot be made by one or two people alone, so it's hard to say whether the destruction of the Mita Group headquarters is related to us."
Xiao Dao pondered for a moment. "Section Chief, should our research still continue then?"
"Of course, we of the Hawk Faction have been actively working for generations, and now we're finally about to see the fruits. How could we possibly stop? I will send people to investigate whether the Mita Group headquarters was wiped out due to gang warfare or another purposeful attack. Don't stop your research here."
"Understood!" Xiao Dao said. "However, Section Chief, there is something I'm unsure whether I should say."
Xiao Dao continued, "Regarding this matter, I suggest the Section Chief should still act in secret. If the outside world finds out that we have collaborated with the underworld, and we are using them to capture people with Pure Yin Physique for Chen Qiang, I'm afraid it will not only affect our candidacy for Prime Minister but also, if it gets exposed, the Hawk Organization might collapse because of it…"
"I understand your concerns, rest assured, this time I will deploy all the Jonin of the Hawk Organization to handle this matter," Xiao Lin said.
"Then, Section Chief, I'll leave you to it. I'll take my leave first." Xiao Dao bowed to Xiao Lin before exiting the room.
Xiao Lin took a deep breath and then rubbed his temples with his hands.
"What organization could have wiped out the Mita Group headquarters?"...
Li Feng and Mei Li had only waited for two hours when Ding Fan returned with Sister Liu on his back.
Li Feng was stunned. One should know that it would normally take thirty to forty minutes just to travel from their location to the Mita Group headquarters, Dayun Nightclub—a round trip would be at least over an hour.
And yet, in less than an hour, Ding Fan had rescued the person. This was simply unimaginable…
After all, that was the Mita Group's headquarters.
Ding Fan then carried Sister Liu into Mei Li's room.
Sister Liu had only passed out due to overwhelming shock, and when Ding Fan channeled True Qi into her body, she slowly regained consciousness.
"Where... where am I?" Sister Liu sat up abruptly after opening her eyes, speaking with a face full of panic.
"Sister Liu, you are safe now," Mei Li said as she went over to take Sister Liu's hand.
After looking around for a moment, Sister Liu finally calmed down.
Yet, her complexion remained quite pale from the fright.
At that moment, Ding Fan took out a Pill from his storage ring and handed it directly to Sister Liu.
With Mei Li's help, Sister Liu swallowed the pill down.
After taking the Pill, Sister Liu's complexion began to improve, and her expression was no longer as vague as before.
"Sister Liu, Japan is no longer a suitable place for you to continue living. I suggest you move out from here now," Ding Fan said from the side.
Sister Liu pondered for a while. "Ah... I had followed my deceased husband here initially. It was easy to come out, but it's not so simple to go back now."
Sister Liu's situation was tough enough just trying to survive; moving was a good idea, but where would the money come from?
Ding Fan seemed to guess what Sister Liu was wondering and made a sign with his eyes to Li Feng. Li Feng understood, and pulled out the two bundles of US dollars Ding Fan had given him earlier.
"Sister-in-law, here's some money. Take it and use it for now. With this amount, you should be able to start a small business when you return home," Ding Fan said by her side.
The sight of the two bundles of US dollars made Sister-in-law's eyes open wide in astonishment.
After all, these bills amounted to at least five or six hundred thousand US dollars, which would be at least three or four million in Huaxia currency. This was definitely enough for her to go home and start a small business.
"I can't... I can't take this money," Sister-in-law said, shaking her head frantically.
Sister-in-law didn't know that her husband had worked for Red Spider, so how could she possibly accept something from Ding Fan, a man she had only met once?
"Sister-in-law, today I can tell you something. Your husband used to work for me, and for certain reasons, he never told you... Now that your husband is gone, consider this money as a fund for settling down," Ding Fan said.
Looking puzzled, Sister-in-law turned to Li Feng. She was more familiar with him.
Upon this, Li Feng explained to Sister-in-law how her husband had spied for Red Spider in Japan.
Tears welled up in Sister-in-law's eyes when she heard the whole story. "Brother Fan, this means I really can't accept this money. When my husband was alive, he always brought home a sizable monthly salary. I didn't understand it back then, but now I do. It was all given by you. And after my husband passed away, you also provided me with a considerable sum for settling down... So, I really can't take this money," she said.
Ding Fan felt puzzled when he looked at Sister-in-law, wondering why she was still living in such poverty despite the settlement fee provided earlier.
Li Feng noticed Ding Fan's confusion and explained, "Brother Fan. Sister-in-law has had a hard time. After Brother Six passed away, she has been taking care of his mother, who also has a young son prone to gambling. The money for settling down was forcibly taken by Brother Six's younger brother and then lost in gambling..."
Ding Fan nodded his understanding.
That seemed to explain it, as Ding Fan noticed that Sister-in-law was frugal and hardworking, not one to be wasteful or extravagant.
"You should still take this money, as a token of my respect for Brother Six," Ding Fan said.
Even though a settlement fee had already been provided, Sister-in-law was struggling to make ends meet. The money meant little to Ding Fan, but it could greatly change many things for Sister-in-law.
Just as Sister-in-law was about to refuse again, her phone started ringing relentlessly.
Checking the time, she realized it was already past four in the afternoon. "Oh no, my mother-in-law must be hungry and unattended by now," she exclaimed.
Sister-in-law hastily answered the call.
"Sister-in-law, where have you run off to? Mom's old illness has flared up, and she's bedridden. You need to bring some money home fast!"
The call was loud enough for everyone to hear. The voice belonged to an adult man, and even though they couldn't see him, they could detect a ruffian's tone.
"Oh? Mom's illness has flared up again? For now, take her to the hospital, and I'll be right back," Sister-in-law said, mustering the strength to stand up.
Although she had been shocked earlier, the pill Ding Fan gave her had improved her condition significantly.
"Sister-in-law, you head back first. Mom and I will wait for you at home..." With those words, the person on the other end of the line hung up abruptly.
Sister-in-law felt at a loss. "Brother Fan, Li Feng, there's some trouble at home, and I need to get back. My mother-in-law has fallen ill again, and I must take care of her," she said.
As Sister-in-law was about to leave, Ding Fan swiftly called out to stop her.
Taken aback, she halted immediately.
"May I ask, what kind of illness does your mother-in-law have?" Ding Fan inquired.
Although puzzled, Sister-in-law answered honestly. "My mother-in-law has a minor blockage in her brain stem, high blood pressure, and heart disease..."
After hearing Sister-in-law's reply, Ding Fan nodded slightly. "And who was that man on the phone just now?"
"The one on the phone was my husband's younger brother, my brother-in-law... What is it, Brother Fan?" Sister-in-law responded, puzzled by his detailed questioning.
"Your brother-in-law is deceiving you. If I'm not mistaken, your mother-in-law should be fine right now," Ding Fan said calmly.
Seeing that Sister-in-law didn't understand, he continued, "High blood pressure and heart disease, either condition when flaring up would be acute and require immediate hospitalization. But when you told your brother-in-law to take your mother-in-law to the hospital, he told you to come home first..."
Having said that, Ding Fan offered no further explanation.
Li Feng nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Sister-in-law, did you catch what was said earlier? Your brother-in-law told you to hurry back with money. I think he might be tricking you."
Sister-in-law began to ponder.
Thinking about her brother-in-law's character, her mother-in-law's health, and reflecting on Ding Fan's analysis, Sister-in-law was almost certain that the call from her brother-in-law had indeed been a sham.
