Chapter 331: Continued Deception
Chapter 331: Continued Deception
While the masseuses serviced them, they occasionally brushed against the men\'s backs and arms with suggestive movements. Such actions were not uncommon, and Liu Yun and his assistant were accustomed to it, showing no special reaction.
They had no interest in women of this caliber.
Two burly bodyguards stood staunchly at the door. They were elite special forces recruited by the Liu family from a special unit. Liu Yun never ventured out without sufficient security; it was his cautious nature to always have at least two bodyguards with him.
Just as Liu Yun was beginning to relax and hum a tune, the assistant\'s phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, the assistant was surprised to see it was from the club\'s front desk. Sensing urgency, he answered the call.
Speaking in Japanese, the assistant inquired about the reason for the call.
The receptionist\'s voice sounded rushed as she exclaimed, "Sir, a group of people is rushing in to find you! We can\'t stop them!"
After a brief exchange, the assistant hung up and turned to Liu Yun, "Boss, it seems there\'s trouble. The front desk said a dozen or so people with unfriendly faces are coming for us. They seem to be from the Yamaguchi-gumi."
"The Yamaguchi-gumi?" Liu Yun frowned. Despite his youth and composure, he was puzzled at this moment.
"The Yamaguchi-gumi wouldn\'t cause trouble without reason. We have business dealings with them in Sakura-ben, so theoretically they shouldn\'t be hostile towards us. Let\'s not act rashly for now," Liu Yun said as he got up from the bed, putting on his suit jacket, preparing to meet the incoming members of the Yamaguchi-gumi.
True to his prediction, within half a minute, a group of roughly ten men and women, led by a bald, bearded man, entered the private room.
Tattoos adorned their arms, necks, and various other visible skin areas, confirming to Liu Yun that they were indeed from the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Sakura-ben was the only country in the world that recognized the Yakuza as legitimate entities, a historical legacy that led to their prosperous development in the country.
Anyone entering the Yamaguchi-gumi, regardless of gender, must bear tattoos all over their bodies, not just small ones, but various exotic symbols covering them from head to toe.
Two bodyguards had already positioned themselves on either side of Liu Yun, ready to protect him and facilitate his departure.
"You\'re Liu Yun from the Biyun Group?" the bald man with green eyes stared at Liu Yun, rubbing his chin as he spoke.
Liu Yun smiled calmly and replied in Japanese, "That\'s correct. May I ask what brings our friends from the Yamaguchi-gumi here?"
"Who said we\'re friends of yours?!" the bald man glared at Liu Yun, "I\'m Eiwataro, the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Otaru City. My men reported that you\'ve been conducting business on my turf."
"Huh?" Liu Yun was puzzled, "When did I conduct any transactions?"
Eiwataro snorted coldly, "No need to play dumb. If you haven\'t, my men wouldn\'t have reported it to me recklessly. While we\'re Yakuza, we don\'t tolerate foreigners using drugs to harm our people. You cunning businessman, if you truly haven\'t done anything, are you willing to let us search?"
Liu Yun sensed something was amiss, feeling someone was trying to set him up. After a moment of thought, he said, "Mr. Eiwataro, I know the regional head of Sakamoto area where we have dealings. May I make a call to him first and then decide whether to allow the search? I believe there\'s been a misunderstanding, and it\'s not good for us to sour our relations over this."
Being a multinational corporation, the Biyun Group had collaborations with partners like Sakamoto Hiroyan, the regional head of the Yamaguchi-gumi. Liu Yun suspected it could be an enemy from a certain business trying to harm him. Despite facing the Yamaguchi-gumi, he remained undaunted, as the typical city leaders didn\'t intimidate him.
Eiwataro hesitated briefly before nodding, "Hurry up."
Liu Yun instructed his assistant to dial Sakamoto Hiroyan\'s number. After a few rings, Sakamoto\'s voice came through, "Mr. Liu, it\'s late. Is something important?"
Liu Yun exchanged a few pleasantries before explaining the situation where Eiwataro wanted to search him unjustly. He hoped Sakamoto would discreetly handle his overzealous subordinate.
Unexpectedly, Sakamoto Hiroyan responded promptly, "If Mr. Liu believes he hasn\'t conducted any business, there shouldn\'t be an issue with the search. Our cooperation is based on trust, and accepting each other\'s oversight is only natural. Eiwataro is defending the honor of our Yamaguchi-gumi. Please cooperate, Mr. Liu."
Before Liu Yun could say more, Sakamoto ended the call abruptly.
Liu Yun\'s expression darkened; he felt even more suspicious now, sensing Sakamoto was prepared with his explanation beforehand.
Unbeknownst to Liu Yun, as soon as the call ended, in Sakamoto Hiroyan\'s luxurious villa in Sapporo, another scene was unfolding.
Sakamoto Hiroyan was kneeling before a graceful woman in black, flattering her with a smile, "Omeshi, everything has been arranged. We\'re just waiting to capture Liu Yun."
This woman was none other than Omeshi, who continued her mission after parting ways with Yang Chen.
Omeshi nodded indifferently, "What\'s next, you know what to do."
"Hi! I will absolutely complete the tasks assigned by the boss without any mistakes!"
"This is the task assigned by my master. If you make even the slightest mistake, your head will be on the ground in the next second," Banya\'s eyes flashed with coldness.
Nervously, Sakamoto gulped and shouted repeatedly, "Hi."
One of the world\'s top organized crime organizations, the fearsome Yamaguchi-gumi, was a part of the Yakuza!
Inside the club, the situation had become clear.
Eiwataro\'s green eyes flashed with a hint of mockery as he waved his hand, saying, "Go up and search carefully!"
A group of Yamaguchi-gumi members loudly agreed and immediately rushed forward, intending to strip Liu Yun and his assistant of their clothes.
Liu Yun\'s two special forces bodyguards could no longer tolerate it and stepped forward to handle these Yamaguchi-gumi members with punches and kicks.
However, these seemingly ordinary members were actually meticulously selected experts in judo and karate, each of them possessing a black belt level and brutal fighting experience.
The two special forces soldiers couldn\'t withstand them for long and were beaten to a bloody pulp by seven or eight members!
Liu Yun and his assistant, naturally, had no strength to resist. They were caught by several members and forcefully stripped of their clothes.
Two female members searched the pockets of Liu Yun and his assistant\'s suits and suddenly pulled out three or four packets of white powdery substances! Exactly what they were looking for!
Liu Yun\'s face turned pale as he glared angrily at the two female masseuses who had just massaged him, but they kept their heads down, silent.
"This isn\'t mine! Those two women must have planted it in my clothes!" Liu Yun shouted in horror.
"You say it\'s theirs, so it\'s theirs? Why would these two masseuses randomly want to harm you, and do they even have the ability to get such a large quantity?" Eiwataro sneered.
One of the masseuses raised her head sharply and said in a shrill voice, "Sir, you can\'t slander us! We don\'t even know you!"
Liu Yun was furious. Thinking back, those two women didn\'t flirt with them to seduce them, but to distract them and plant the substances in their clothes!
Such a deep calculation—what mattered wasn\'t just the plan itself, but that someone could execute it so flawlessly!
Cold sweat broke out on Liu Yun\'s forehead. Who had he offended? Why did this happen at such a critical moment?
"I need to make a phone call!" Seeing several people about to grab him, Liu Yun shouted loudly. He needed to report to his father, Liu Kangbo, only his father could possibly help clear his name.
Unexpectedly, Eiwataro snorted coldly, "Mr. Liu, you\'ve already deceived us once. Do you think we\'ll continue to be deceived? Take them away!"
Liu Yun\'s phone was snatched away by a female member of the group, and even his assistant\'s belongings were thoroughly searched and taken.
The Yamaguchi-gumi members forcibly escorted Liu Yun and his assistant, gagging them with duct tape. They marched out of the upscale club and into a white Toyota business van.
After about twenty minutes, the van doors opened again.
There stood Liu Yun and his assistant, impeccably dressed, walking calmly back towards their car. However, their two bodyguards were nowhere to be seen.
On the sparsely populated street, amidst oblivious passersby, no one noticed anything out of the ordinary.
