Chapter 480: Chapter 279: i Xiang’s Declaration of Allegiance

Ito walked to the front yard and dialed a number; the call was promptly answered.

“Hello, it’s .”

Ito’s voice was deep, “What’s the current situation with your company’s Watanabe Kazuo?”

A respectful voice ca from the other end of the line: “Minister, you… what do you an…?”

Ito interrupted him impatiently: “Stop playing dumb. I’m talking about the person in charge of the Brazilian Mine, Watanabe Kazuo. I need to know everything about him now, imdiately!”

The other end fell silent for a few seconds, seemingly gathering information, then carefully replied: “Minister Ito, this morning President Xingye brought that Chinese businessman to the company…”

The person gave a detailed account of the event, “Currently, Watanabe Kazuo is handling the matters of the Brazilian Mine, and the board of directors is also conducting an investigation.”

Ito asked again: “Did they find anything?”

The voice beca even more tense: “That… that I’m not too clear, only Hoshino Mika and the board mbers know the specifics…”

“Worthless!”

Ito muttered a curse under his breath,

“What I need are definite news, not this ambiguous rubbish! Keep a close watch on Watanabe Kazuo, and report to imdiately with any developnt! Also, find a way to find out what Hoshino Mika has discovered, understand?”

“Got it…! Minister Ito, I’ll try my best!”

Ito hung up the phone, his face shadowed with a foreboding grimness.

He massaged his temples, weighing his options internally.

If anything significant on Watanabe Kazuo is uncovered, then what i Xiang said just now might beco reality.

Watanabe was like a ticking ti bomb, ready to blow him to smithereens at any mont.

At the mont, the only option for Ito was to use his connections to have the Special Investigation Departnt take Watanabe away before the tropolitan Police Departnt could.

Thinking this, Ito dialed another number, “Kitagawa, it’s , Ito.”

“Minister, good day.”

“Co to the Xingye residence in Shitamachi, I’ll be waiting for you here.”

“Understood, Minister Ito.”

After hanging up, Ito took in a deep breath and tried to settle his inner anxiety.

He knew ti was of the essence, and by getting the Special Investigation Departnt to take Watanabe Kazuo away, he could control the situation and bury any secrets that could implicate him once and for all.

Ito, holding a cigarette in his hand, turned to look in the direction of the tatami room, paused for a mont, and then turned back.

Hoshino Mika and Yahata Reina were still kneeling there, each with a different expression.

i Xiang maintained a calm exterior, but her heart was in turmoil.

She clearly knew that the entire situation’s success or failure now hinged on Ito alone. If he could take Watanabe away, her revenge would most likely be served, and all secrets would vanish like smoke.

Reina appeared sowhat uneasy; she did not understand what kind of agreent had been reached between Ito and i Xiang, but she could feel an invisible pressure bearing down on her.

“i Xiang,” Ito resud his seat, “Deputy Chief Kitagawa from the Special Investigation Departnt will co by later.”

Hearing this, i Xiang finally relaxed.

She gave a slight nod, “Minister, sorry for the trouble.”

Ito waved his hand, his gaze falling on Yahata Reina.

If Watanabe was a ti bomb, then this woman who had witnessed everything was a potential nuclear bomb.

He had to handle her cautiously, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Mrs. Xingye,”

Ito’s voice betrayed no emotion, “Regarding those earlier incidents, I hope you can keep them secret.”

Reina’s body shivered slightly; she understood the implications of Ito’s words.

“I… I know.”

“No,” Ito cut her off, “you don’t know enough.”

He paused, with a heavier tone, “I want you to completely forget this matter, as if it never happened. Can you do that?”

“I… I…”

i Xiang interjected, “Minister, my mother has been devastated by my father’s death.”

Ito looked back at i Xiang, and she continued: “I’ve decided to send her abroad to recover, and she will never co back.”

“She’s leaving today,” she added.

Ito nodded inwardly, feigning importance: “i Xiang, you’ve given this a lot of thought. It’s good for her to have a change of surroundings, it might help her move on from the shadows sooner.”

i Xiang bowed slightly, “Thank you for your concern, Minister.”

Ito waved his hand again, his gaze returning to Reina, his tone icy:

“Mrs. Xingye, I hope you understand i Xiang’s painstaking efforts. Once abroad, just live a good life, and do not co back.”

Reina’s trembling intensified; she clenched her lips tightly, not daring to make a sound.

About half an hour later, a black sedan slowly stopped in front of the Xingye residence, the car door opened, and a burly man stepped out.

Deputy Chief Kitagawa had arrived.

Yatada welcod him inside, and Kitagawa greeted Ito before settling down beside him.

“Kitagawa, I’ve asked you to co today because an economic case has occurred at Xingye Products.”

Ito repeated feignedly, “I hope you can take Watanabe Kazuo away quickly, to prevent the Xingye family from suffering greater losses.”

Deputy Chief Kitagawa nodded slightly, discreetly observing Ito’s expression.

He knew that Ito summoning him here, rather than at the office, was not as simple as it seed on the surface.

“Minister Ito, this Watanabe Kazuo you ntioned, how much money is involved in the case?”

He needed more information to gauge the depth behind this situation.

Ito gave i Xiang a look, and she spoke up: “Deputy Chief, the exact amount is still under investigation, but preliminary estimates suggest at least 300 million yen.”
