Chapter 109 Collective Suicide

  "What? The Yamamoto family is also looking for Mo Xiuyao? Have they found her?" Inside the hotel, Feng Guo's face looked a bit unsightly. It was already 11 o'clock in Tokyo time, and despite mobilizing all of Japan's forces, there was still no news about Mo Xiuyao. The only thing that could be considered news was that the Yamamoto family was also looking for her, but similarly, there were no results. Mo Xiuyao and Chu Yan had vanished into thin air, their whereabouts unknown.

  "Feng Guo, we've dispatched all our contacts in Japan and even urgently transferred several from the surrounding cities of Tokyo. We've also checked all major hotels in Tokyo, but there's no registration information for Mo Xi Yao or that man." Jones sat across from Feng Guo, his expression somewhat tense, as Feng Guo gave off a strong oppressive feeling that he couldn't get used to even after many years of interacting with him.

  "This is within expectations, Mo Xi Yao isn't stupid at all. She's staying in a hotel and might be using a fake passport. Here, hotels won't keep positive image records during registration, so it's not surprising that we can't find her. This way, you're making people focus on the Yan family, they are here, and it will be easier for them to find someone than us. I think you should understand my meaning." Fang Guo said, raising his wine cup to take a light sip, his eyes narrowed together, thinking about something that no one else knew.

  ……

  "Notify all board members immediately, to convene in the conference room within half an hour. The group is about to collapse!" In the conference room on the top floor of Yishan Commercial Headquarters, Yishan Wufu was instructing his secretary with a look of annoyance to notify people to attend the meeting, while his mobile phone was constantly dialing one number after another, trying to find someone or some force that could save Yishan Group.

  Ten minutes later, the conference room was packed with people, each seat had a cup of clear tea on it, this is a habit of the Yishan family. The Yishan Group is now facing life and death, these people have long forgotten about time, they never left the Yishan Business Building, everyone was digging their own network, trying to turn defeat into victory.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you are all aware of the situation with our group. The bank has terminated its cooperation with us and is now demanding repayment of loans. The situation in the US is even more dire, all the stocks of listed companies under our group's name have plummeted to a halt, and this has been the case for two consecutive days. It seems that when trading resumes, the situation will still be grim! Ladies and gentlemen, what are your thoughts?"

  Yishan Wufu was very frustrated, he didn't know how his group had offended such a formidable opponent. Although he had done nothing good in his life, he was clear about his opponent, but this sudden appearance of Mo Xiuyao, with her overwhelming strength, left him powerless to resist. This point really made him puzzled.

  "Tribe leader, I've never understood how our group ended up with an enemy like this. Now the group has basically lost its ability to resist, and it's only a matter of time before we fall. But none of us want to die without knowing why. Please enlighten us, tribe leader!" As the elder of the Yishan family, Yishan Buzhang had always had this question. This old man had done his fair share of killing and arson in his youth, but the group that the older generation had worked so hard to build was about to disappear without a fight, and no matter how much he tried to accept it, he couldn't.

  When Yisan Wufu heard the question, he was also confused. Not to mention that he himself was unclear, I'm afraid everyone is confused. Although Yishan Corporation has been ruthless in suppressing its competitors, those were all opponents with direct conflicts of interest with Yishan Group. But this Chinese woman who suddenly appeared out of thin air, if it weren't for a Korean friend coming to tell him who his opponent was, he probably still wouldn't understand who is dealing with him!

  "Director Bu, to be honest, I've already asked all the departments in the group and none of them have had any direct conflict with this Chinese woman, our opponent. Not even a basic face-to-face encounter. I'm not clear what's going on, whether it's true that she's targeting our group as our Korean friends say, or if they're just lying. This is what I need to know most right now!" Yishan Wufu looked annoyed, this feeling of being targeted without knowing why was really unbearable.

  "Speak up!!! Why aren't you speaking!!! Have all of you become mute?! Don't you really know if it was one of your own people who offended that woman?! The identity of that woman still can't be investigated, are the people in your intelligence unit really eating shit and growing up?!?!

  Yi Shan Wufu could no longer bear this quiet atmosphere. Among the eighteen people present, all were direct core members of the Yi Shan family. None of these people were kind-hearted. The possibility of provoking an opponent who was difficult to deal with was not impossible, but no one stood up to clarify things, which made Yi Shan Wufu furious!"

  The conference room was filled with smoke, and Yishan Wufu sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, because he had just received news that Yishan Group had been completely defeated, losing its last line of defense. Yishan Group officially entered the countdown to death!!

  "Damn it! Send someone to China immediately, I want that woman to go to hell!!" The final decision of Yishan Wufu, and also the final decision of these people. Since they lost miserably in the financial war, then there is only one way to complete this seemingly smokeless war - by using the simplest and most direct method!

  "We are the great Yamato people, I think you understand what I mean by saying this. We are loyal to the Emperor, although the group's failure has nothing to do with the Emperor, but I want you to understand that one day, the Kazama family will rise again!!" Kazama's words finally eased the emotions of those below him, originally in their minds, the collapse of the group left them only one path, which was to commit seppuku. This rule had been established since the founding of the group: as long as the group exists, people exist; when the group is destroyed, people are destroyed!

  "I'm afraid you won't have any chance." As the voice faded away, the lights in the conference room suddenly went out, and not only that, but the power supply to the entire building was cut off at the same time. At the same time, Yamamoto and others felt a sense of alarm rising in their hearts, and their minds were filled with drowsiness.

  "There's poison in the tea!" With a warning from Yishan Wufu, people inside fell to the ground one after another. The conference room door opened and Chu Yan walked in with a smile on his face. Under the moonlight, a hint of killing intent was revealed in his smile.

  "Since you are the Yamato people, I will settle this with the tradition of the Yamato people!" Chu Yan's gaze swept around the conference room and landed on a row of Japanese war swords hanging on the wall. These were usually used for decoration, but now they came in handy!

  "Whoosh!!" The scabbard flew to one side, Chu Yan arrived at the main seat of the conference table, and with a light touch, he pressed the long knife against Yishan Wufu's abdomen. Without any hesitation, he stabbed it in, then made a swift slash to the right, sending Yishan Wufu to meet his maker!

  Night, it had deepened. The bright moonlight outside the window was suddenly blocked by a black cloud that drifted in, and the backup power source of the Yamasho commercial building restarted after five minutes. When the entire building regained its lighting, Chu Yan's people had already boarded the subway heading towards Osaka Kansai International Airport.

  China, Nanshan City, Yinzong Coffee House.

  Mo Xiuyao's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the computer screen without blinking. Only after completely defeating the Yishan Group did she relax a bit, but in her heart, she knew that even though the Yishan Group was defeated, the people of the Yishan family would probably go to extremes and there would still be unpredictable hidden dangers waiting for her. However, these were not the main concerns - what was important was that Chu Yan had stayed in Japan and still hadn't sent any news. She wanted to call Chu Yan, but was afraid it would put him in danger, and this worry made Mo Xiuyao feel both happy and painful at the same time.

  Waiting, there are often two situations. One is that time seems to pass very slowly, and the other is that time seems to pass very quickly. Mo Xi Yao belongs to the first kind. She has not closed her eyes for two days and two nights. Originally a beauty of national calamity level, she has become disheveled and unrecognizable, with messy hair, eyes full of bloodshot, and even the most basic daily bath has been put aside.

  "Chu Yan, I hope you come back safely soon." Looking at the computer screen with no movement on her email, Mo Xiuyao muttered to herself.

  ……

  Every other day, Tokyo, Japan, Presidential Suite of Hilton Hotel.

  "What's going on? The entire Yamayama family committed seppuku overnight?" Linda looked at the newspaper, although this little girl was uneducated and illiterate, she still understood some Japanese. The full-page news report in the paper made it very clear.

  "Yi Shan Corporation suddenly announced bankruptcy and closure, all members of the company's board of directors committed seppuku!" The eye-catching headline was accompanied by a bloody photo, presenting the incident in a straightforward manner to readers.

  "The Japanese really have a weird way of thinking, they failed and then want to commit seppuku, this kind of thing hasn't happened in many years, I didn't expect that the Yamano family still has some samurai spirit, but doing it this way is just too stupid. There's a Chinese proverb that says 'as long as the green mountain is there, don't worry about firewood', these Japanese people are really too outdated! Jones had finished reading the whole report, and for the samurai spirit that was being loudly proclaimed in the report, Jones, who grew up abroad, simply didn't care."

  "You think you understand, but things are not as simple as they seem. You don't even consider that it's a different era now, and yet there's still talk of self-immolation? Can you really believe the official news? Don't forget, before the Li family member died under mysterious circumstances, they were desperately searching for Mo Xiuyao. Who knows if this matter is related to her? Moreover, haven't we also failed to find that woman?" Feng Guo's words made everyone present fall into deep thought. If this matter was indeed related to Mo Xiuyao, then their mission would likely become even more difficult to complete!

  "Swan Goose, let's book the ticket immediately, we're going back to China!" The suddenly contemplative Feng Guo made a decision that was somewhat unexpected by everyone, to return to China. Who knows what kind of medicine this naturally suspicious Feng Guo is selling?

  "Alright, I'll go right away." The woman beside Jones, Xueyan, the only one among them who had grown up in China since childhood, immediately stood up and returned to her own room. She would not have any hesitation or doubt about the decision made by Fēng Guó.

  "It's so frustrating, I finally came to Tokyo and there are still several nightclubs I've been wanting to go to! Linda was unwilling, but could only complain verbally, she didn't have the guts to openly defy Feng Guo."

  ………….

  Nanshan City, China, Silver Palm Coffee Shop 3rd floor.

  "Kazayama Corporation suddenly announced its bankruptcy and closure, with all members of the company's board of directors committing seppuku!" Mo Xiuyao stared at the latest international news that had just been updated on the internet, and her whole body tensed up instantly.

  "Is... is this what you did?"
