Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Prying Open the Mouth
Cherish Turner closed her eyes, gently stroking the cover of the notebook, her fingers feeling slightly cold.
The car slowly turned at the intersection ahead, and the residence of the man they sought was down the alleyway in front of them.
“We’re here,” Tanigawa Kenichi said softly, sowhat reluctant to wake her up.
Cherish opened her eyes, and the sunlight streaming in was sowhat dazzling.
Looking around, the facade of the house seed old and the door was shut tight.
Cherish got out of the car and walked to the door with Tanigawa; he knocked, but there was no response from inside.
“It should be here. That’s what the address says,” Cherish looked at the address, puzzled.
Tanigawa knocked again and this ti, finally, soone ca out to open the door.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses and an overcoat, looking sowhat haggard, squinted up at them and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
“Sorry to disturb you, may I ask, is this the residence of Mr. Chen ZiWang?”
The man sized up Cherish and cautiously replied, “It is, and I am he. What do you want with ?”
–
In the cramped room, the noon news was being broadcast, a black cat circled around Chen ZiWang’s feet, still unfed.
Instant noodle wrappers were strewn all over, and the entire room was rather untidy and unsanitary. It seed that Chen ZiWang’s living conditions were not good.
Cherish told Chen ZiWang that she was from Haicheng and wanted to know about the Kyoto Turner Family.
Chen ZiWang looked wary, and carefully asked Cherish, “What is your relationship with the Haicheng Griffith Family? Why do you want to know about the Turner Family?”
“You know the Haicheng Griffith Family? Mr. Chen, you must know about the Turner Family back then, right? Please, tell !”
Cherish was a bit anxious, making Chen ZiWang even more fearful. He avoided her gaze and waved his hands repeatedly, “I don’t know, I really don’t know. I was just talking nonsense earlier. The Haicheng Griffith Family is such a famous family that nobody doesn’t know about.”
But he had ntioned both the Griffith and Turner families. Could this really be just a coincidence?
Cherish still refused to give up and implored him to tell her sothing, but Chen ZiWang wouldn’t budge.
Seeing the situation, Tanigawa pondered for a mont and then said, “Mr. Chen, I imagine your life must be rather difficult at the mont. At your age, you should have a wife and children, but they don’t live with you. You must not feel comfortable living in this cramped apartnt, either. Don’t you want to improve your living conditions? As long as you tell us about the past dealings between the Griffith and Turner families, I can give you a sum of money, enough to improve your current situation.”
As he spoke, Tanigawa took a business card from his pocket and handed it to him.
Chen ZiWang accepted it and saw that the man was Japanese.
But there were also Chinese annotations on the card, so he roughly knew who Tanigawa Kenichi was.
From the looks of the card, this man seed to be quite influential, and his words should be true.
Could he really live a better life? Since his company went under, he hadn’t had a single peaceful day, dodging debts and struggling to make ends et.
“Alright, tell
first, how much money can you offer ?”
Tanigawa finally smiled. It seed that money could indeed loosen this man’s lips!
