Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 185 "185" The Third Generation
The lobby of the Tsukamoto Building.

The memorial hall for Shio Tsukamoto is set up here.

A young man with a mustache knelt before the altar of Shio Tsukamoto.

His men around him were bored, especially one foreigner who looked somewhat impatient.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a kimono walked in and said to the young man, "Eiji, the foundation's people have arrived. What are you still doing here?"

This middle-aged man is Tsukamoto Taro, the eldest son of Tsukamoto Shio.

Kneeling in front of the mourning hall was Tsukamoto Taro's son, Tsukamoto Eiji.

Upon learning that Tsukamoto Shio had died in Hong Kong, the two of them made a special trip from Japan.

However, Tsukamoto Eiji ignored his father, as if he hadn't heard him at all.

"Eiji!" Tsukamoto Taro snapped, placing his hand on Tsukamoto Eiji's shoulder.

Eiji Tsukamoto scoffed at his father's hand.

Tsukamoto Taro was immediately annoyed: "What kind of attitude is this!"

Eiji Tsukamoto said calmly, "I was just saying hello to my grandfather who has gone to heaven. How could he have such an incompetent father as you!"

Tsukamoto Taro was furious: "How dare you disrespect your own father?"

Eiji Tsukamoto turned and questioned, "Your father is dead. Do you intend to avenge him?"

“He has a revenge fund of one hundred million dollars!” Tsukamoto Taro exclaimed.

However, there was a sense of guilt in his tone.

Eiji Tsukamoto sneered, "You second-generation coward! Japan will perish at your hands sooner or later! You have no ability to control the Tsukamoto Kingdom!"

The Tsukamoto Group not only has businesses in Hong Kong, but also has significant assets in Japan.

Moreover, he colluded with local councilors, making him a local tyrant who could control everything.

Eiji Tsukamoto's statement that he was the Tsukamoto Kingdom is not an exaggeration.

Having finally outlived the old man, Tsukamoto Taro was far from relinquishing power easily. He sternly rebuked him, "No matter what you say, I am now the person in charge of the Tsukamoto Group!"

Eiji Tsukamoto chuckled and said, "Do you have Grandpa's soul inside you?"

As he spoke, the man picked up the urn and smashed it to pieces.

He grabbed a handful of Tsukamoto Shio's ashes and swallowed them.

Tsukamoto Taro was completely dumbfounded: "No, what did you do?"

"This is Grandpa's soul!" Tsukamoto Eiji said to Tsukamoto Taro with a look of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), "I want to resurrect Grandpa's soul in my body!"

"You've really gone mad!" Tsukamoto Taro said angrily, turning to his subordinates and scolding, "I'll report this to the board of directors. Let's go back!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much Tsukamoto Taro called, neither his former confidants nor his secretary moved.

Eiji Tsukamoto said with a sneer, "They know who the real strongmen are. Don't forget, they were all handpicked by Grandpa!"

"A bunch of bastards!" Tsukaji Jiro cursed, then turned and left with a flick of his sleeve!

……

"Oh, so that means there are also significant internal conflicts within the Tsukamoto Group?"

Lin Yao said to Su Xingbai.

Su Xingbo nodded: "According to the information I found, it seems that's the case! Tsukamoto Jiro was supposed to take over that old Japanese guy's position, but he actually lost to his own son in the board vote."

"Clearly, within the Tsukamoto Group, Tsukamoto Jiro belongs to the moderate faction, while his son, Tsukamoto Eiji, belongs to the radical faction! This guy keeps shouting that he wants to find the murderer and avenge his grandfather!"

"Heh, you little devil!" Lin Yao sneered. "I think he's just asking for trouble!"

Lin Yao even tricked and killed the old devil, using Chen Guozhong to take him down.

Why would we be afraid of a mere third-generation Japanese brat who hasn't even grown up yet?

I should avoid his sharp edge? That's no joke!
“However, this time, the Revenge Fund has brought together assassins from all over the world!” Su Xingbo said with a frown, “I estimate that Hong Kong will soon be in chaos!”

Lin Yao nodded, then turned to Xiao Fu and said, "Xiao Fu, how about a cameo role as the King of Assassins?"

“Okay, okay!” Xiao Fu immediately said with a smile.

You should know that when Xiao Fu first came to Hong Kong, he wanted to work as an assassin.

He spends all day reading a book called "A Day in the Life of a Killer".

If Lin Yao hadn't intercepted him halfway, he probably would have really become a lousy assassin.

However, having gone through so much with Lin Yao, Xiao Fu is clearly no longer the country bumpkin he was when he first arrived in Hong Kong.

I just find this funny.

To fulfill my dream of being an assassin!

Lin Yao laughed and said, "Then I'll go with you to register later. It's outrageous that these assassins want money upfront!" After saying that, Lin Yao turned to Su Xingbo and asked, "By the way, what kind of person is the person in charge of this revenge fund?"

“His name is Mark, and he’s a rather greedy lawyer! It’s precisely because he’s so greedy that Tsukamoto Shigeo chose him to be the head of the revenge fund!” Su Xingbo said with a smile. “However, we’ll have to wait a while for more detailed information. The police’s information is incomplete, so I need to send someone to follow up!”

"No need for that trouble, I'll take Xiao Fu to meet him myself!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

Su Xingbai was somewhat surprised: "Boss, you're going in person?"

"Is that not allowed?" Lin Yao asked, spreading his hands.

"No, but boss, you're a celebrity after all! Won't you get recognized?" Su Xingbai asked curiously.

"I'll just disguise myself then!" Lin Yao said casually.

……

Chan Kwok-chung, from the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, happened to take over this case.

The thought of investigating his own affairs amused Chen Guozhong.

However, he still had to put on an act, since he was only transferred here to retire, not to retire immediately.

“Team leader, this person is called Amy. On the surface, she is a costume designer in Europe, but according to the information provided by Interpol, she should be an assassin agent! She has sent people to carry out several assassination cases against political figures in Europe!” A policewoman reported to Chen Guozhong.

Chen Guozhong poured himself a cup of coffee and said with a smile, "Of course! You think the clothing business is so easy?"

Soon another foreigner appeared on the screen. After the photo was uploaded, a message was quickly received: "This guy is a liquor merchant from the Soviet Union, but he's actually working as a hitman broker behind the scenes!"

"Throughout Southeast Asia, anything involving Soviet assassins should be the work of this guy!"

"Tsk, selling alcohol!" Chen Guozhong said unhappily.

After the middleman from the Soviet Union left, the next person entering the country almost made Chen Guozhong spit out his coffee.

Even though Lin Yao was disguised, a veteran police officer and a professional assassin still recognized him at a glance.

And his bodyguard, Xiao Fu, he'd seen him more than once.

"What's wrong, Inspector Chan?" one of the officers asked Chan Kwok-chung curiously.

Chen Guozhong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just choked!"

“I’ve never seen this guy before. He’s probably a new agent trying his luck!” Chen Guozhong’s officer shrugged and said, “We don’t have any information on him!”

Chen Guozhong almost burst out laughing; it would be strange if they could get any information about him!
Chen Guozhong had no idea that Lin Yao, the big boss, would personally attend this meeting.

Another officer sneered, "I heard that this foundation needs a five million dollar deposit to participate! They've probably gone bankrupt by now, haven't they? Pure gamblers!"

Chen Guozhong's expression was somewhat strange; five million was nothing to Lin Yao.

The companies under this guy's control alone are worth billions.

However, Chen Guozhong was curious as to why Lin Yao was involved in this operation.

I think I should talk to him when I have the chance!

……

Lin Yao led Xiao Fu into the venue and paid the deposit with a check.

Once everyone had arrived, Mark, who was sitting at the head of the table, tapped the microphone and said, "I am the head of the Tsukamoto Good Ending Foundation. You can call me Mark!"

"Mr. Tsukamoto was murdered recently. According to his will, if his death was a homicide, this foundation will begin operating!"

"Now, please turn on the computers in front of you and insert the floppy disk! What's displayed is the joint account opened in a Swiss bank using your five million deposit! Please enter the password. Once the task is completed, the reward will be automatically deposited into this account!"

Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh at this performance: "This is really interesting, it's so realistic!"

Then came the Q&A session, during which Mark explained the mission rules and disclaimers to all the assassin brokers present.

In short, he won't care what these hitman brokers do, nor will he bear any legal risks.

The person sitting on the stage is just a referee.

After eliminating Tsukamoto Shio and the mastermind behind him, each of them can receive fifty million US dollars.

If the killer and the mastermind are the same person, then they can get the full $100 million.

As Lin Yao listened to them explain the rules, he felt like yawning. He had thought there would be some information, but it turned out to be just some small fry.

I should have just sent Xiao Fu; I wouldn't have needed to come at all.

Just as Lin Yao was dozing off, the door suddenly opened, and an employee said to Mark, "Mr. Chen, the police are here!"

Soon, Chen Guozhong led his men in. He glanced at Lin Yao, who was disguised, and said seriously, "We suspect that an international terrorist organization is holding a meeting here. Everyone, please show your passports and be searched!"

Mark said calmly, "No need for all that trouble. Everything we've discussed here today is legal. I can have my secretary make a copy of the meeting minutes for you later!"

"Thank you very much!" Chen Guozhong said with a smile, "Please show me your ID card!"
