Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 793: Take precautions before they happen

With a serious expression, Hanyu Hideki ignored the guests who came to him to get close to him, and left the banquet hall quickly with Marco.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Okura Liquor Store and waited for the car, Hanyu Hideki asked, "Tell me in detail, what is the situation now?"

Just now in the banquet hall, Marco reported an urgent news to him.

The content of the message was that something had happened to the Honma group who were under the surveillance of his subordinates.

Whether they were people who were taken away for investigation by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department or people who were not taken away for investigation, all of them met with accidents within a short period of time.

Hideki Hanyu was certain that this was not done by his subordinates.

Because his current goal is not to kill Honma and his gang.

He planned for so long and made so many arrangements, and if he just let these guys die, wouldn't that be too easy for them?

The first step of his plan was to take advantage of the hatred and greed of Honma and others towards him and deliberately create a crisis for himself. For example, he needed funds to acquire MCA Universal, and used the excuse of selling shares to attract Honma to join, while hiding his identity and providing Honma with a mortgage loan.

Then the second step is to wait for the bubble to burst, and then release the bribery information of Honma and others, and completely launch a liquidation of Honma and others.

The former would allow him to financially lock up Honma and others, while the latter would induce the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department to intervene, causing Honma and others to lose support from their superiors.

With a two-pronged approach and attacking from both sides, there is absolutely no chance for Honma and his gang to turn the tables.

After the first two steps are completed, it is time to reap the final rewards.

First of all, there are the spoils of economic and career.

He used the mortgage loans given to Honma and others not only to avoid losses from the initial stock crash, but also to easily recover the shares in the hands of Honma and others, making a huge profit in the whole process.

At the same time, they can also take this opportunity to take action with local forces that have already secretly united, such as Tochigi Prefecture's Councillor Fukuda, Governor Watanabe and others, to erode the local industries of Honma and his gang and extend the business scope of their companies into the Kanto region.

Even in Hideki Hanyu's view, the latter is more important than the former.

Because this involved his second piece of spoils in this matter.

The reopened investigation into Honma's bribery case is bound to involve a large number of high-ranking people, all of whom were people who once helped Honma deal with him and who did not belong to the same camp as him.

The power vacuum left by the fall of these people will naturally be swallowed up by the forces of Hideki Hanyu and his allies who were well prepared.

Compared with the turmoil in the upper echelons, what Hanyu Hideki wants more is the power vacuum that will appear in the local area after people like Honma are uprooted.

You have to know that this is the Kanto region, where Japan is most beautiful.

The companies and forces under his control took advantage of the situation and "colluded with" the forces in these places. Although it did not allow him to gain power like in the Northeast, it was enough for him to gain a foothold.

As long as he can extend his tentacles into these areas, it will not be difficult for Hideki Hanyu to consolidate his influence, expand his influence, and strengthen his power in these areas.

After all, for many years after the bubble burst, Japan's economy has been plummeting. In this environment, it is undoubtedly the best time for Hideki Hanyu, who has no shortage of money, to win people's hearts.

In the face of the overwhelming power of capital, traditional culture and local forces are nothing but paper tigers trying to stop a chariot.

His practice in the Northeast region over the years has fully demonstrated this point.

At this moment, the first two steps of his plan were implemented perfectly.

The next step is to reap the fruits of victory step by step.

But the stock market crash following the bursting of the neon bubble economy was a long and sustained decline.

It will also take longer for the stock market crash to spread to the entire Japanese industry.

Therefore, the process for Hideki Hanyu to reap the fruits of victory this time also requires a long battle line. It is far from being able to be completed in a short time like making profits from the stock market crash.

This is also the reason why, although Hanyu Hideki took action against Honma and his gang, he did not intend to kill them all for the time being.

The plan has just begun and these people are still valuable to use.

How could he do something foolish that would harm long-term interests just for the sake of momentary pleasure?

That's why he took it so seriously after hearing about this from Marco.

After all, it's time to harvest.

Now no matter what the reason is, what the truth is, and who may be involved, he will never allow anyone to ruin his plan and let the situation get out of his control.

Marco, who was standing beside him, heard this and was about to answer with details.

But after glancing around, he suddenly stopped answering.

It turned out that at some point, a middle-aged man came up to them, accompanied by a young girl with a flattering smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was trying to get close to Hanyu Hideki.

And this man was no one else but Yukio Moriyama, the president of Artist House Pyramid, who had acted in front of Hanyu Hideki in the banquet hall with Akiho Chido.

The young woman following him was no longer Akiho Chido, but Eri Aikawa, whom Hanyu Hideki used as an excuse.

In fact, in terms of appearance, Eri Aikawa and Akiho Chido each have their own characteristics.

But when Hideki Hanyu mentioned the other party before, it was just a casual remark.

But now Yukio Moriyama suddenly brought people here. What he was planning was obvious.

If it were in the past, Hanyu Hideki wouldn't mind playing with the other party, just treating it as a little fun when he had nothing to do and flirted with beautiful women.

But now the situation is urgent and he is in no mood to deal with the other party.

That’s why Yukio Moriyama said flatteringly, “President Hanyu, what a coincidence…”

Hanyu Hideki interrupted with a cold expression, "Put away your little thoughts. I don't have time to deal with you now."

"I……"

"Shut up!"

After Hideki Hanyu shouted in a low voice, Yukio Moriyama's first reaction was to apologize quickly.

Eri Aikawa, who was standing beside him, was bewildered and at a loss as to what to do. She could only instinctively follow the president and bow to Hanyu Hideki to apologize.

But the president clearly said that the big shot Hideki Hanyu had a crush on her and came specially to help her seize the opportunity.

But looking at Hanyu Hideki's reaction now, it doesn't seem like he has any feelings for her at all.

Just at this moment, Hanyu Hideki's Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit drove up. After Marco took the initiative to open the door, Hanyu Hideki got in without looking back.

Only Yukio Moriyama was left, unable to bow and kept apologizing.

Yukio Moriyama didn't stand up until the car disappeared from their sight.

But at this moment, there was only deep worry and fear on Yukio Moriyama's face.

He was still talking to himself.

"What should I do? What should I do now? Why did you suddenly make President Hanyu unhappy? He should like you!

I had to make amends, I had to find a way to fix it, or my career would be ruined.”

……

In the moving car, Hideki Hanyu naturally didn't take Moriyama Yukio to heart. He forgot about it as soon as the car door was closed and turned to ask Marco.

"Tell me the details of what you have learned. How serious is the problem?"

Marco, who was driving, replied, “It’s related to Honma. Whether or not someone was taken away for investigation, something happened to them in a short period of time.

Among those who were not taken away for investigation, one was involved in a traffic accident and died before rescue could arrive. The remaining three were also injured in accidents, two of whom were seriously injured.

Even those who were taken away for investigation by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Division were suddenly attacked when they were transferred to the detention center today.

The latest news is that although the guards discovered and stopped the incident in time, four people were still injured, one of whom is in critical condition and is being treated in the hospital.

After hearing Marco's words, Hanyu Hideki frowned deeply.

"This is definitely not an accident or coincidence."

Marco agreed, "This must have been planned."

“So we have to figure out who planned these things. Is he desperate? He wants to silence Honma and others because of the bribery investigation of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office’s Special Investigation Division.

Or maybe they want to use this method to use Honma and others as an excuse to put the blame for breaking the rules on me."

Hanyu Hideki's tone was colder than ever before.

Marco thought for a moment and said, "I think it's more likely that he killed me."

"Why?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

Marco said, "Because in this matter, the boss has not been exposed yet."

Hanyu Hideki shook his head and said, "Since someone has crossed the line, we must consider the worst possible outcome."

After saying that, he started making arrangements.

“We are now at Shigu Zhenyuan, notifying Councillor Sasaki, Councillor Fujino, Minister Inoue… and Commissioner Smith.

Contact Dayue and Shi again and ask him to come see me alone.

Let's mobilize the exclusive defense team of Wanquan Security, strengthen the safety level of our people, and transfer the overseas personnel back.

Tonight, send all the women on the list I gave you earlier to Sendai, and then decide whether to leave the country based on the situation."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Marco replied.

Hanyu Hideki followed up by saying, "Let our people find a way to arrange for Honma and I to meet secretly in the early morning."

"Yes."

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit continued to drive towards Shigu Zhenyuan.

As Marco made one call after another, Tokyo became quietly busy at night.

In Akasaka, Minato-ku, Akina Nakamori, who was working in the office, suddenly heard a hurried knock on the office door.

bang bang bang!
"Ms. Nakamori, it's me."

Akina Nakamori recognized the voice as the female bodyguard assigned to her by Hideki Hanyu.

Then she said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and the female bodyguard walked in with a serious look, "Ms. Nakamori, please stop what you are doing immediately and leave with me."

"Leave? Where to?" Akina Nakamori looked confused.

The female bodyguard said, "The destination is Sendai City. This is Mr. Hanyu's decision."

Akina Nakamori realized that something was wrong, but she still said, "I need to call Hanyu first."

The female bodyguard said, "Of course."

Akina Nakamori picked up the phone and dialed Hanyu Hideki's mobile phone.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Hanyu-kun, I'm Akina."

Hanyu Hideki's voice came, "Do as the bodyguard says. I'm very busy now. I'll explain it to you when I'm free."

"it is good."

Akina Nakamori hung up the phone, looked up and said to the female bodyguard, "I'll go with you now." Then she seemed to remember something, "Where's Koizumi Kyoko? Is she going to Sendai with me?"

The female bodyguard shook her head. "I don't know about that. You'll know once we arrive at Sendai, Miss Nakamori."

"Should we take a plane or the Shinkansen?" Akina Nakamori asked again.

The female bodyguard replied, "The car is ready."

In Kamiyama-cho, Shibuya, Hitomi Kuroki was unable to attend tonight's Cloud Entertainment reception because her daughter was unwell.

Just when she had coaxed her daughter to sleep, the bodyguard arranged by Hideki Hanyu suddenly handed her the phone.

The call was from Hideki Hanyu. After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Hitomi Kuroki immediately changed her clothes, picked up her sleeping daughter Xiwu, and hurried away with the bodyguards.

On the campus of a university in Tokyo, Sachiko Kamachi had just finished an end-of-year club music event and walked to the school gate when she heard a familiar voice calling her.

"Sachiko, I'm here!"

Sachiko Kamachi looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Yasuko Sawaguchi sitting in a black Audi car, waving at her.

Kamachi Sachiko trotted over, "Why did Jingzi come to see me now?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi just opened the car door and said, "Sachiko, get in the car, I'll explain it to you on the way."

On Cloud Satellite TV, during a producer meeting being held in the production bureau, men in black suddenly broke in and took away the Sekimoto sisters who were in the meeting.

In Chiyoda Ward, Ono Ryori suddenly closed down.

In Jiyugaoka, Meguro District, Yumi Takigawa and Yuko Kotegawa got into a black Audi together.

……

Inside the Shigu Zhenyuan, guarded by dozens of bodyguards.

When Hideki Hanyu finished meeting all the invited guests, almost five hours had passed unknowingly and it was already the early morning of December 18th.

At this time, he also received news from Sendai that everyone had arrived safely.

While Hanyu Hideki felt relieved, he was also expecting a new guest.

Commissioner Smith.

After a conversation with Commissioner Smith, Commissioner Smith first said angrily, "These damn guys dared to touch the people I put pressure on. I will definitely respond to this matter."

After saying this, Commissioner Smith expressed his enthusiasm again.

"If Seraphim needs it, I can arrange for you to enter Yokota Air Base and leave Neon on a military plane at any time."

Hearing what Commissioner Smith said, Hanyu Hideki smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you for your help, Commissioner Smith, but things are not that bad yet."

Hideki Hanyu was not being polite when he said this.

The reason why he made a series of arrangements was not because he was afraid of someone or a certain force.

Because in today's Japan, it is basically very difficult, almost impossible, to deal with him openly and make him hide in the US military base and escape.

But yesterday's incident happened suddenly. Even if he who was hiding behind the scenes had not been exposed, we must take precautions in advance to prevent some people from doing stupid things desperately when facing the crisis of destruction.

The purpose of meeting with our own people before was to ask them to be careful and safe, and then to mobilize all forces as soon as possible to find out which idiot was causing trouble.

Commissioner Smith said, “Please feel free to contact me if you need anything.”

"This is for sure."

Hanyu Hideki said as he took a document from Marco and handed it to Commissioner Smith.

By the way, he explained, “I am going to set up a yacht club in Los Angeles, and Commissioner Smith is the first member to be invited, along with other old friends.

I will hold events at the yacht club from time to time to facilitate communication among members and provide them with various benefits. I think Commissioner Smith will definitely like it.

The details are in the invitation document, and Commissioner Smith can read it and decide whether to join."

This so-called yacht club is just one of Hideki Hanyu's means of socializing in America.

Although America cannot openly accept bribes, there are many ways to corrupt the upper echelons in a reasonable manner within the prescribed conditions.

The yacht club may seem to have no problems, but it can legitimately provide members with a variety of benefits, such as a luxury vacation to the Caribbean.

What members need to pay is just a tiny membership fee.

"Oh, then I'll have to take a closer look." Commissioner Smith, who knew the ins and outs of it very well, immediately showed an interested expression.

Hanyu Hideki added, "It's too late today. I'll treat Commissioner Smith properly another day."

Hearing that Hanyu Hideki was going to see the guests off, Commissioner Smith said cooperatively, "It's okay. I'm a little tired too, so I'll take my leave first."

"Let me see Commissioner Smith off."

And so, Hideki Hanyu took Commissioner Smith to the parking lot of Seyagu Zhenyuan.

After Commissioner Smith's vehicle left, Marco immediately came to report.

"Boss, Dai Yue and Shi are here."

"Take me to him."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he was brought by Marco to the front yard of Seiya Zhenyuan, into the dark garden forest.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

In the darkness, a figure spoke the voice of Daikoshi and Shi.

Hanyu Hideki didn't look at the other person either, he looked up at the half moon in the sky, "Yes, I need you to do something."

"What's the matter?" Dai Yuehe Shi asked.

"I need you to be the leader of the Sumiyoshi-kai."

Hanyu Hideki's tone was calm, but Okoshi Kazufumi was surprised and asked, "What? This is too sudden, isn't it?"

"I wasn't so anxious originally, but some things happened that made me feel that your current strength is not enough."

As he said this, he waved his hand, and Marco immediately stepped forward and handed a file bag to Oyue and Shi.

Hanyu Hideki's voice then rang out, "This is evidence that the current leader of the Sumiyoshi-kai embezzled the company's assets, as well as his criminal record, and the fact that his actions caused the Sumiyoshi-kai's assets to lose money in this stock market crash.

You have accumulated strength for so long, won over so many people in the society, and now you have these things in your hands. I think it is enough to force him to step down in a fair and open manner.

I will arrange overseas forces to support you, whether it is professional personnel or weapons and equipment, you can tell Marco if you need anything.

As for the higher-ups, don't worry. My people will help you suppress everything and won't let anyone interfere in this matter. They can even cooperate with your actions at critical moments."

Having said that, Hanyu Hideki finally turned his attention to Ogoshi Kazufumi.

In the darkness, the eyes under the white hair were bright as stars and cold as ice.

"So, you won't let me down, right?"

Da Yuehe Shi bowed heavily, "Sir, I will never let you down!"

Hanyu Hideki waved his hand.

"Go ahead. I hope that next time we meet, you will already be the team leader."

Da Yue and Shi bowed deeply again, stood up and said nothing, then disappeared into the darkness with the briefcase.

After Dai Yue and Shi left, Marco immediately reported, "Everything has been arranged at the detention center. We can leave at any time."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki sighed.

"It's been a busy night tonight!"

……

Tonight, the personnel in the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office who were in charge of investigating the bribery case also spent a sleepless night.

The people involved in the case were suddenly attacked by unknown forces during their transfer, which made everyone feel humiliated and they began a surprise inspection overnight.

Honma was one of the targets of the attack. Although he was not injured due to timely protection, he was taken away by the detectives and interrogated until the early morning.

But when he returned to his room to rest, he suddenly received a notice saying that he had been attacked and needed to be transferred to the hospital for a detailed examination.

Honma, who had been confirmed to be uninjured before, thought of the unexplained attack and suddenly felt that it was too strange and unusual for him to go for a physical examination in the middle of the night.

In panic, Honma began to struggle and shout wildly, trying to refuse the physical examination.

But all the struggles and cries for help were in vain.

In the end, Honma was stuffed into an ambulance while screaming.

Honma, who didn't want to give up calling for help, continued to shout, trying to attract attention from the outside world.

But in the deserted early morning, no one responded to him.

At this moment, Honma, who was struggling and shouting, heard a familiar voice coming from the ambulance.

"Honma, we meet again."

Honma turned his head sharply and followed the sound to see a white-haired young man sitting in the back of the ambulance.

Who else could it be if not Hideki Hanyu?

boom!
When Honma was dragged into the car, the door was slammed shut.

Looking at Hanyu Hideki, Honma asked in a horrified voice.

"You...what are you going to do? Were you responsible for today's attack?"

Hanyu Hideki said in a mocking tone, “Are the upper class so stupid?
If it were me, how could you possibly see me here?"

After being mocked by Hanyu Hideki, Honma finally calmed down and asked tentatively, "What do you want to do?"

Hanyu Hideki said in a cold tone, “I just hate it when the situation is out of control.

So if you don't want the previous attack to happen again, you'd better cooperate with me while you are still useful to me."

Honma asked, "How can I cooperate with you?"

"Haha!" Hanyu Hideki sneered, "Someone will tell you. What you need to do now is to get a physical examination."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the ambulance stopped on the side of a deserted road.

The next moment, Honma saw that the medical staff who had forced him into the car, Hanyu Hideki, and the driver all left the car, leaving him alone handcuffed in the car.

However, Honma did not have to wait long before the driver and medical staff got into the car again. The ambulance started and continued to drive towards the hospital.

Looking at the strangers around him, Honma suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

It was as if Hideki Hanyu's appearance just now and what he said to him were just an illusion.

Only then did he finally realize it.

Hideki Hanyu's strength is far beyond his ability to contend with.
