Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System Chapter 543 - 358: News from De Gaulle

In the courtyard, Hatoyama Yuchi arrived late, wearing pajamas.

He glanced at the ninja on the ground, whose head was already disfigured, with a dark expression.

"What’s going on?"

Beside him, another ninja lowered his head and respectfully replied, "Soone just broke in and was discovered by Murakami."

He paused, his gaze turned towards the corpse on the ground, "That person was very strong, but he killed Murakami and also got injured himself. He was hit by my dart while escaping, and probably hasn’t run far. Our n have already gone after him."

"Bang, bang, bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of intense gunshots erupted outside in the alley, breaking the night’s silence.

The few people in the courtyard instantly froze, the ninja who replied jerked his head up, looking outside the courtyard.

The gunfire didn’t last long, just about ten seconds, followed by the harsh screech of tires on the ground, and then the sound of a car engine roaring away.

Soon, a subordinate ca running to report, "Soone was waiting in the alley, they helped him escape."

Hatoyama Yuchi’s face turned completely dour, with a streak of fierceness in his eyes, thinking about how many years it’s been since anyone dared to provoke the Hatoyama Clan.

"Go and bring all these people back!"

His subordinate sensed Hatoyama Yuchi’s anger and did not dare delay, imdiately leaving to make arrangents.

Not far away in the room, Yamamoto Ichiro withdrew his gaze from the open door gap.

He sank onto the ground, face pale, his back soaked with cold sweat staining his pajamas.

He faintly guessed that the commotion outside was definitely brought by Qi Yun.

He knew well that Qi Yun asked him to guard that old house in the morning because of the concern that rescue personnel would arrive and discover the existence of the hidden compartnt.

Although he didn’t understand why Qi Yun didn’t take those two treasure swords when he left, choosing to hide them in the compartnt instead...

But now it’s no longer important, having stolen the items himself, Qi Yun definitely won’t let him off.

This instilled a sense of fear within him...

Qi Yun being able to track his location in just a few hours showed that their real capabilities were far beyond what he had learned.

If even hiding in Hatoyama Yuchi’s territory wasn’t safe, how could he be sure to safely leave Japan even if he got the money?

...

On the street, an old Crown and a Civic were racing along.

Inside the Civic, Da Pao drove while anxiously checking on Chen Wei’s condition.

"How is it? Did it hit any vital spot?"

Chen Wei’s left hand clutched his abdominal wound, right hand trembling as he reached for his back where a dart was lodged, shot by a ninja when escaping over the wall, half embedded in the muscle, the other half protruding through his clothing.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and grabbed the tail end of the shuriken and yanked fiercely!

"Mm!"

Chen Wei’s body shuddered violently, cold sweat instantly covered his forehead, and he couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

As the dart was pulled out, the wound on his back seed to tear open, and blood spurted out quickly soaking most of his shirt.

Chen Wei glanced at the dart, then tossed it out the window.

"No poison, not a major problem."

As soon as he said that, he couldn’t help but cough.

Pulling out the dart too forcefully had aggravated the knife wound on his abdon, causing it to ooze blood again, the pain from multiple wounds intertwining, making his face even paler.

Seeing his state, Da Pao was imdiately anxious, almost pushing the accelerator to the gas tank.

About ten minutes later, the two cars turned into a secluded alley, stopping at the entrance of a building.

Not daring to go to the hospital, they had to let De Gaulle’s people take them to the nearest base to treat Chen Wei’s wounds, or excessive blood loss could be problematic.

Da Pao helped Chen Wei inside to lie down, then took over the first aid kit and needle found by De Gaulle’s n, imdiately starting to stitch Chen Wei’s wounds.

No anesthesia was available, he could only bear it.

After stitching several wounds, Chen Wei felt like he’d just co out of a steam room, he spat out the towel he’d been biting on, gasping heavily.

"Call... Call the boss."

Da Pao nodded, took out his phone, dialed Qi Yun’s number, and told him the situation in detail.

On the other end of the call, Qi Yun leaped up from his chair upon learning that Chen Wei was seriously injured.

"How is he?"

"The wounds have been treated, no major issues for now, but..." Da Pao hesitated, glanced at the weakened Chen Wei, "he still needs to get to the hospital quickly."

"Those people are definitely searching for us outside..."

Qi Yun pondered for two seconds, then instructed, "Stay put there for now, I’ll have soone co pick you up shortly."

After hanging up, he furrowed his brow and paced back and forth in the study.

The developnt of events was sowhat unexpected; he had thought with Chen Wei and Da Pao’s skills, plus the help from De Gaulle’s n, retrieving items from Hatoyama Yuchi wouldn’t be difficult.

But unexpectedly, the opponent had a batch of skilled ninjas under their command.

His own experience was still too shallow, knowing too little about those ancient families, leading to this negligent decision.

"Really shouldn’t underestimate these ancient families..."

Qi Yun internally cautioned himself to never again be so careless.

After taking a deep breath, he picked up the phone and called Ge Dabao, instructing him to contact colleagues in Japan for Chen Wei and his team to be taken to a safe place.

Once that was done, he imdiately dialed De Gaulle’s number.

The other party had already received reports from their n, so no further explanation from Qi Yun was needed.

"What do you plan to do?" De Gaulle asked thoughtfully.

Qi Yun held the phone, his tone icy, "I won’t hide it from you now, the person I asked you to investigate stole two very important things from ."

"Since he’s hiding in Hatoyama Yuchi’s territory, that ans my items are also there."

"I must retrieve the items, and have him handed over."

There was a brief silence on the other end before De Gaulle spoke again, "When I was in Japan, I had dealings with the Hatoyama Clan, I can share so of their secrets with you."

Qi Yun nodded, "Please go ahead."

He had heard Ge Dabao talk about so of the Hatoyama Clan’s situation, but he only knew the general picture.

"You should be aware that their clan once had a Japanese Pri Minister, the most recent being Hatoyama Norio."

"Though that was over ten years ago, and now their clan is inevitably declining in politics, they still wield considerable influence."

"His son Hatoyama Kiichi is now a mber of Japan’s House of Representatives, belonging to the right-wing D-faction, and has close ties with many high-ranking officials in Japan."

"The Hatoyama Yuchi you ntioned is his cousin, in Huaxia’s terms, he is Hatoyama Kiichi’s right-hand man."

"As Hatoyama Kiichi gradually rises, their clan has also faced internal conflicts, due to differing political views, splitting into two factions."

"So follow the lead of the old Family Head, Hatoyama Norio, adhering to rules, standing against war and confrontation, and leaning more towards peaceful coexistence with Huaxia."

"The rest follow Hatoyama Kiichi."

"You should know the stance of the right-wing D-faction, their actions are always aggressive and overbearing, lacking rcy."
