Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

"I teach the fire ants to eat weeds, weed seeds, and extra plants. That way, the flowers and plants I want will appear, right?"

"They've been practicing for many days. When things are going well, they're masters of killing. When things are good, they're masters of gardening."

"A very capable little creature, isn't it?"

……

Upon hearing these words, Yan Zhu's face turned pale instantly.

Yan Zhu has been with Shu Yue these days, but she didn't notice any of this.

Red fire ants are so small that you can't see them at all if you don't pay attention.

Yan Zhu was silent for a long time before she smiled. "I see. So ants can also learn such complicated things?"

Shuyue didn't respond to this, he just smiled.

Although the queen ant can dominate almost all ants, in Shuyue's territory, all animals are suppressed by his mental power. Unless they have stronger mental power than him, they can only become his pets.

Yan Zhu looked at Shu Yue for a while, then suddenly said, "Today I'm going to meet with some gang leaders. Previously, Lin was in charge of the pinball machine business, and some of the profits were distributed to some of the larger gangs. Now that Lin is gone, these businesses need to continue, and I need to take over..."

Shuyue sat upright like a well-behaved child, looking at Yanzhu, signaling her to continue.

"Although I think I can handle this myself, but..." Yan Zhu changed the subject, "After all, those people are a group of vicious men. That unscrupulous woman Lin had affairs with those people and tied them up with her bed skills. I think it's dirty, so I don't plan to use the same method as her."

"During this meeting, if a conflict arises, violence will most likely be used. These days are different from the past. Just being ruthless isn't enough. If you break the law, you'll easily be targeted, and it will be very troublesome in the future..."

Shu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, he understood what Yan Zhu meant.

In the past, the laws were not perfect, and agencies such as the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare were too busy to deal with the large number of gang fights among the people.

Things are different now. With the development of industry, people's living environment has improved, and the improvement of laws will also be put on the agenda.

Coupled with the rise of hot-blooded and orthodox comics in this country, more and more young people with a sense of justice have emerged.

Doing bad things in this environment can easily leave a bad seed for your future.

To be prepared, it's best not to dirty your hands.

Shuyue did not express his opinion.

But Yan Zhu smiled and said, "So, Shuyue...are you willing to go with your helpless mother to face these vicious uncles?"

Shuyue looked up at Yanzhu and he smiled too.

……

It is spring, and everything comes back to life.

12 noon.

The sun was blazing.

The strong sunlight is blinding.

The fresh scent of grass and leaves wafts from the depths of the forest.

The bustling city center is suffering from the humidity of the scorching sun.

But this place is located deep in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

This is a huge hot spring bathhouse built on the outskirts of Aokigahara Book Sea.

In the hot summer, it is a beautiful summer resort;

In the cold winter, this is a warm and comfortable holiday destination.

This is the large-scale tourism organization that was transformed from Sifangtang’s early real estate business.

This is an isolated and envied aristocratic resting place. The guests are either rich or noble, and the daily expenses are very expensive. It is a luxurious resort that ordinary people can't imagine.

Shuyue's second aunt Lin always negotiates business with partners here.

To put it bluntly, it makes it convenient for her to conduct PY transactions in a comfortable and elegant environment.

Yan Zhu had no objection to this environment, but had strong opinions about Lin's previous behavior.

Yan Zhu has followed Ming Zheng since she was a child, so she can handle many things on her own.

Today, I couldn't help but tell my young son that I hope he can protect himself.

You have to know that her marriage with her late husband Yousu was only in name only. Even their only son was born through test tube. The relationship between the two was not deep. Yan Zhu had never shown her weak side in front of her husband, but today she actually acted like a spoiled child in front of her young child.

However, Shuyue was a good boy and he agreed.

However, in order to maintain appearances, Shuyue was pushed into the hot spring village in the sea of trees in a wheelchair.

So many days have passed since the assassination, and Shuyue's internal wounds have actually almost healed, but the family doctor is still changing Shuyue's dressings, and the stitches on the surface of her throat have not been removed yet.

Yan Zhu was wearing black and walking step by step on the shiny wooden floor. Behind her, a man named Xiaoshan was pushing Shuyue's wheelchair with a serious face and following closely.

Yan Zhu looked at the spacious room in front of her from afar, with a kind smile on her face.

Chapter 012 If They Don’t Pay Tribute, We Will Go to the Grave

In Japan, the law recognizes the existence of the Yakuza, and they can operate openly in Japan. Every time a new generation of leaders is born, they will be announced to the public through a press conference, and the procedures for various matters are very formal.

Among them, the three major yakuza organizations have an annual income of more than one billion US dollars, 35% of which comes from the extremely dangerous drug business, and at least 20% of the income comes from legal income obtained from legitimate investments.

The three major underworld organizations all have business cooperation with the Sifangtang family in the pinball game machine business.

The profits brought to them by Sifangtang were classified as part of the 20% legal income.

In Tokyo, there are as many as five gangs that have business dealings with Shihodo. The most famous of them is the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the other four are the Okawa-kai, the Shuju-kai, the Tomoe-kai, and the Higan-kai.

Shuyue originally thought that these five gangs would bully Yanzhu for being a woman after Lin's death and might not come to the meeting.

Unexpectedly, all the leaders of the underworld were present.

In the huge room, the leaders of the five gangs have arrived and are sitting in their seats. Each seat is one meter apart, and two gang cadres stand behind them.

Those who came to the meeting were only the persons in charge of gang investment, not the leaders of these organizations, but they did represent the attitudes of the gangs behind them.

Yan Zhu brought a child like Shuyue to preside over the meeting, which still attracted the attention of everyone present.

Without waiting for anyone to question her, Yan Zhu explained in a friendly manner that her youngest son had recently been assassinated and she was worried, so she had to bring the child to work with her, and asked them to be understanding.

The sutures on Shuyue's throat have not been removed yet. Although the internal injuries have almost healed, the wounds outside the skin are still horrific and hideous.

Shuyue held the food box with a calm expression, his eyes staring blankly ahead, quiet and peaceful, like a traditional Japanese doll.

After listening to Yan Zhu's explanation.

The man sitting in the second seat from the lower left immediately said indignantly, "...What kind of villain would attack such a young child? Has the murderer been found?"

Shuyue fixed her gaze on the speaker.

This man has a strong build and looks righteous. He wears gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge. He doesn't look like a gangster, but rather like a scholar or a politician.

Before coming, Yan Zhu gave Guo Shuyue the information of the person in charge who would return to attend the meeting.

The person who spoke was called Shishigamiro, from the Tomoe guild. Their emblem was three magatama, resembling swirling cherry blossoms.

"Ba" is very different from other gangs in Japan.

This gang is very special. It seems to have been established a hundred years ago. They claim to be samurai from the Shogunate period. They lost their masters during the changes at the end of the shogunate. Later, they became ronin and gathered together to form a gang, which gradually became a mature organization.

"Tomo" is similar to other Japanese gangs in that it has a strict structure, distinct hierarchies, and values family. However, what makes it different from other gangs is that they have a strong sense of responsibility towards the world.

If someone causes trouble on the streets of Japan, the first people to arrive may not be the Japanese police captain, but members of these yakuza organizations.

They will maintain order in their own territory, and even when a murder occurs, they will spare no effort to catch the real culprit and then hand him over to the police station.

So the Yakuza has a good relationship with the political circles.

This Shishigamiru from "Ba" is the only man among the five leaders attending the meeting who has not had an affair with Rin.

Yan Zhu pretended to close her eyes and said, "I found her. I heard she committed suicide out of guilt. I was only thinking about saving the child at the time and didn't investigate further. But she's already dead, so I won't pursue the matter any further. The most urgent matter is to properly handle all the matters that need to be handled."

As soon as these words were spoken, the five people present looked at each other in surprise.

Next is the time to talk business.

Although on the surface, the five leaders all sympathized with the orphans and widows, this did not conflict with their efforts to gain benefits at the meeting.

After some negotiation.

The five gang leaders all proposed to increase their own commissions every quarter. Although their wordings were not quite the same, the meaning was similar.

But there is one thing that they all agree on, that is, they all said that the deceased Rin agreed to their condition, but died before he could implement it.

Since there is no evidence, of course they can say whatever they want.

Of course Yan Zhu disagreed.

Not only did she disagree, Yan Zhu also said that if the adults insisted on bullying her as a widow, then she would have to find a new group of "kind" partners.

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere naturally became tense.

Suddenly, the head of the Sankouchi-gumi, who was sitting farthest from Yan Zhu, twisted his lips into a half-smile, his eyes as cold as obsidian. "...Little girl, you are not qualified enough to threaten us. The Second Madam was originally in charge of this matter. Now that she is gone, I think this matter should be handled by the Mingzheng of the Sifang Hall."

He paused, glancing at Shuyue beside him. He continued, "And you, the single young lady of Sifang Hall, it would be best for you to stay at home and take care of the children."

Among the five people, four are related to Rin.

Even if there is no love at first, you can develop feelings through sleeping together. This is what the saying "A husband and wife once married are bound by a hundred days of grace" means.

However, Rin is of the more disgusting type.

After all, Lin is the widow of Yan Zhu's second brother, but after Yan Zhu's brother died, she cuckolded him countless times and became a cuckold wholesaler.

In the eyes of others, Lin is qualified to pursue love.

However, from Yan Zhu's point of view, if Lin wants to start a new life, she should take her own assets and get out of Sifang Tang. After severing ties, even if she wants to keep ten or eight young men outside, Sifang Tang will not interfere.

But if you still want to gain benefits from Sifangtang, you shouldn't do such a disgraceful thing.

After the four men finished their threats, they got up and left without giving Yan Zhu any face. Yan Zhu smiled and did not express anything, letting them leave.

Shishi Shenlu was the last to leave. Unable to bear the pain, he said softly, "I'm sorry. This is very unkind, but from our perspective, there's nothing we can do. Please forgive me. However, I can convince our leader to continue cooperating with the Sifangtang clan according to the original profit-sharing agreement."

Yan Zhu looked at this gentle-looking man with some surprise, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lion God."

Shizi Shenlu smiled politely, bowed slightly to Yan Zhu, then said goodbye and left.

After he walked out the door, Shuyue held up the A4 paper towards Yanzhu: "This lion god has feelings for you."

Yan Zhu sneered and didn't comment on it. Instead, she said, "What should we do now? They slipped away so quickly... After all, this is my territory."

On Shuyue's A4 paper, the words crumbled and reunited into new words: "It doesn't matter. Either they come to us to pay tribute, or we go to their graves."

Seeing these words, Yan Zhu's lips curled up into an icy smile.

Chapter 013: The Lion God Road

The gentle music of the hot spring bath flows through the breath of the sea of trees and forests.

After Lion God Road walked out of the conference room, he did not go towards the open-air parking lot, but stopped after walking out of the corridor.

One of the two men guarding him whispered in his ear, "Brother Lu, do you have any instructions?"

Shishishenlu turned his head slightly, his eyes penetrating the open window beside the corridor and glancing at a corner of the courtyard outside.

In the grass under the tall cherry tree, a huge spider was weaving a web.

The web seemed to reflect the afternoon light, and there were still some particles of water on it.

Shishi Shenlu's eyes lit up, and a thought flashed through his mind. He asked, "Before I came here, I told the brothers accompanying me to wait for me in the lobby and not to wait in the parking lot. Did you pass on the message?"

Although the younger brother behind him didn't understand Shishi Shenlu's order, he nodded and said, "I got it. Everyone is waiting in the lobby of the hot spring hotel now. Are you going back now?"

"No, we'll stay here today." Lion Shenlu said lightly.

"Eh?"

The two younger brothers behind him looked at each other in astonishment.

"We'll eat and drink at the government expense, so just treat it as a relaxing trip. Stay one night in this luxurious hot spring villa and go back tomorrow. Now, go check in the brothers." Shishi Shenlu's voice gradually faded as he spoke. Finally, he said, almost inaudibly, "Let's see if those guys die before we make a decision."

When he said the last sentence, he had already started walking away again, so that the two younger brothers behind him could not hear clearly what he said in the end.

Even if the younger brothers heard Shishi Shenlu's last words, they probably wouldn't understand what he was saying.
