The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

"Mitsui Takejiro, get up, you bastard! The Mitsui Group is already involved. Even if you beg your head until it bleeds, they won't let you go!"

"If I were you, I would do everything in my power right now to go back and persuade the Mitsui Group to bet everything on this and fight to the death."

"If you win, your Mitsui Group will be able to swallow up a massive industry worth over 10 trillion Dragon Dollars. At that point, will your Mitsui Group still fear a mere Mitsubishi?"

"Shut up, you old hag! If it weren't for you, how would our Mitsui Group have entered China? You've really screwed us over this time!"

When they met before, Mitsui Takejiro flattered Zhao Xinyue, calling her "Aunt Zhao" repeatedly, which made Zhao Xinyue very happy.

In fact, Mitsui Takejiro really came to celebrate Zhao Xinyue's birthday today. The rest was just a minor matter in his eyes. After all, the interests of the two sides were deeply intertwined, and if something really happened, no one could escape.

This was a measure that the Mitsui Group specifically devised as a precaution.

In this way, even if the Mitsui Group really struggles or even falls into a trap because of China's xenophobia, the Su family, namely Zhao Xinyue, must lend them a hand!

Unexpectedly, less than a week into the cooperation, the Mitsui Group has fallen into a trap just as predicted. What the Mitsui Group didn't expect was that the one who kicked them into the trap was none other than Zhao Xinyue of the Su family, whom they considered a staunch ally!

With the appearance of Mitsui Takejiro, even though he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, the expressions of the people present were not very pleasant.

"You, surnamed Zhao, how dare you collude with the Japanese pirates!"

At this moment, Xiao Ruoxi could barely contain the fierceness in her eyes.

Although the Xiao family is not a revolutionary family like the Ye family, and even though Old Master Ye was a founding father, countless members of the Xiao family died for the establishment of the new China!

Therefore, the Xiao family has never had any goodwill towards the people of Qianri Kingdom!

She even dared to guarantee that when the Xiao family sent people to the Thousand Sun Kingdom to deal with the Dragon King Palace, they might have had the intention of settling old and new scores together!

After all, the Xiao family had caused countless troubles and committed numerous offenses in the Thousand Sun Kingdom back then. If it weren't for the lack of evidence, and the fact that the Xiao family had joined forces with the Ye, Gu, Liu, Su, Bai, Mo, Shen, Jiang, and Nan families in the Dragon Kingdom, as well as the Luo family (one of the three major families in the capital), and the Qian and Li families (two of the seven major families in the north), which together represented half of the powerful families in the Dragon Kingdom, to put pressure on the Thousand Sun Kingdom government, the Xiao family would have been able to escape unscathed after causing such a ruckus in the Thousand Sun Kingdom.

It was precisely because of that uproar that all sectors of the Thousand Sun Kingdom were left with backup plans by the families who had participated in the incident!

That's all for the day when we can unleash something truly powerful!

Getting back to the point, if Ye Linyuan hadn't been there, Xiao Ruoxi would definitely have rushed up and started hitting him right now!

Even though Zhao Xinyue is a 95-year-old woman who is about to enter her coffin!

Not only Xiao Ruoxi, but also Su Shiyu, Ye Xi, Ye Xin, and even Ye Linyuan looked very unpleasant.

"Mitsui Takejiro, right?"

After a long silence, Mitsui Takejiro finally looked at Ye Linyuan tremblingly as Ye Linyuan spoke.

"Tell me, how did you get in touch with Zhao Xinyue? Don't lie to me. The head of the Su family is Sister Su Shiyu, not Zhao Xinyue. Without understanding the actual situation of the Su family, you would never have thought of going to Zhao Xinyue, this 95-year-old woman, instead of Sister Shiyu, the head of the Su family!"

Hearing Ye Linyuan's question, Mitsui Takejiro felt a little relieved.

As long as they are willing to ask him questions, it means he still has value, and the Mitsui Group still has room to maneuver!

He swallowed hard. Mitsui Takejiro recounted in detail how Pei Sijing found their Mitsui Group and how she connected him with Zhao Xinyue.

She even mentioned Zhao Jingyan, whom she had met that day, at the end.

Others might not know about Zhao Jingyan and only assume he's Pei Sijing's man, but how could Su Shiyu not know?

At that moment, her face darkened.

She had her secretary, Liu Fei, take Zhao Jingyan to Siam for gender reassignment surgery, and then send him to Japan to work as a prostitute. After a few days of monitoring, Liu Fei kept reporting that everything was normal, so she stopped paying much attention.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jingyan got away!

But Liu Fei didn't send any news at all!

So something must have happened!

"I'm asking you, how is my person now? Her name is Liu Fei!"

Mitsui Takejiro looked at Su Shiyu with a puzzled expression, carefully recalling whether he had ever seen or heard of someone named Liu Fei, and finally confirmed that he had absolutely no recollection of the name.

"Private Marseille, Susan, I don't know who this Liu Fei you're talking about is. If you trust the Mitsui Group, I'll immediately mobilize all its resources to find this Liu Fei for you, leaving no stone unturned!"

Seeing that Su Shiyu's face was getting worse and worse, Ye Linyuan quickly stepped forward and gently hugged Su Shiyu to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Sister Shiyu, everything will be fine. Leave everything to me."

As he spoke, Ye Linyuan looked down at Mitsui Takejiro, recalling whether there was any news about the Mitsui Group in his previous life.

He didn't feel anything until he started recalling, and then Ye Linyuan actually remembered some things.

It was probably some time after I was kicked out of the Ye family. At that time, the Mitsubishi Group of Japan absorbed the Mitsui Group, and its market value directly exceeded 20 trillion yen, which is equivalent to about 460 trillion yen in Japan!

After that, the Mitsubishi Group launched a major offensive against China.

At that time, in the thirteen provinces of Jiangnan, due to the downfall of the Ye family, the most powerful family, the other seven families, along with the newly appointed An Wangshu, continued to suffer defeats.

This wasn't due to a lack of ability, but rather because the seven major families were caught off guard, and their command and control couldn't be completely effective, resulting in them only being able to exert a maximum of three-tenths of their strength.

In fact, even if the Ye family had fallen in the previous life, the combined assets of the seven major families, plus the An family that grew from the Ye family's corpse, exceeded 20 trillion dragon coins. So after more than a year of business war between the two sides, the seven major families plus the An family founded by An Wangshu had fully integrated and began to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Mitsubishi Group.

As for the final outcome, after losing all of its assets in China, the Mitsubishi Group retreated back to Japan to lick its wounds and prepare for its next comeback.

In other words, Mitsui Takenori's visit to China is most likely aimed at finding a way out for the Mitsui Group!

If that's the case, then the Mitsui Group is a very qualified traitor!
