Old A was first slightly startled, then burst into laughter: "Haha... Kid, do you think you're Superman or something? Dodging bullets?"
"Just give it a try!" Lin Chuan said, laughing disdainfully.
In such an open environment, with no complex affairs to affect himself, ten meters separating the two, and considering that the revolver's speed and power were clearly not as great as other pistols – it posed no threat whatsoever to Lin Chuan.
"Damn it, so arrogant!" Old A roared angrily.
He gritted his teeth and pressed the trigger resolutely.
"Lin Chuan, be careful!" Qingzi exclaimed from not too far behind.
Bang...
As the hammer of the revolver struck down, bullets shot out with bursts of flame, the heat from the immense flare scorching the gun's barrel.
Lin Chuan's eyes were almost entirely fixed on that revolver. As Old A squeezed the trigger, Lin Chuan was already dodging. Lin Chuan's muscles exploded into action at that instant.
Screech...
The shoes left a mark on the ground from the friction. His body almost ejected to the left, and after landing, Lin Chuan swiftly rolled several times across the ground. Then, standing up, Lin Chuan let out a breath of foul air and said, "You lost."
Old A was dumbstruck, stammering in amazement, "No, it's impossible, this can't be."
Lin Chuan grinned and said, "What's impossible in this world? Everything is possible as long as you're willing to believe."
"I'm going to kill you!" With that, Old A immediately raised his gun.
Click...
Suddenly, a cold gleam flashed by, and a dagger in the assailant's hand knocked the gun out of Old A's grasp. A blade, thin as a cicada's wing, stabbed into Old A's wrist.
Hiss!
Old A immediately clutched his arm and turned to run.
"Think you can run? Not so easy," Lin Chuan was about to give chase when Qingzi already blocked Old A's escape route, drawing a Japanese sword from her back and smiling, "Old A, your time is up today. No escape for you."
"Don't kill me." Old A pleaded desperately.
"You have no choice but to die." Finishing her words, Qingzi harshly stabbed her knife into Old A's heart.
Splat...
Abundant blood sprayed out along the groove of the Japanese sword, splashing all over Qingzi's face.
"You... you..." Old A gritted his teeth, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Even if you kill me, it's futile, haha, the intelligence will still be successfully sent to the Yamaguchi Group, your mission has failed, failed!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately panicked, rushing forward to grab Old A's collar and roaring, "Tell me who has the intel now. Speak up!"
"Heh, you... you've failed," Old A laughed heartily, then his head tilted, and he breathed his last.
Lin Chuan stood up, feeling helpless.
Qingzi said with an embarrassed expression, "Lin Chuan, I... I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to play such a trick. He actually handed the intel to someone else."
"It's not your fault," Lin Chuan shook his head.
"It's all my fault." Qingzi hung her head, filled with self-reproach.
"Really, it's not your fault," Lin Chuan cupped Qingzi's face, "Don't blame yourself too much. There's nothing we can do about it, who knew the guy still had an ace up his sleeve."
"Do you really not blame me?" Qingzi looked up at Lin Chuan.
"Of course!" Lin Chuan nodded.
"What do we do now?" Qingzi stared at Lin Chuan, "If the intel has fallen into the hands of the Yamaguchi Group, wouldn't your mission be truly a failure? That would be a huge insult to you, Lin Chuan..."
"It's fine," Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Doesn't the No. 5 of the Yamaguchi Group have a meeting at the Kyoto Conference? It was originally Old A who was supposed to deliver the intel at the venue. Since Old A has transferred the intel, we can ambush at the meeting site. I believe they will definitely show up."
"Okay," Qingzi nodded.
Afterward, the two drove back.
Not long after they left, police cars quickly arrived at the scene. Gunfire had occurred here and the public quickly reported it, prompting the authorities to swiftly seal off the area. Forensic experts arrived at the scene to investigate the cause and time of the deceased's death. Lastly, the body was placed into a body bag and taken to the mortuary.
............
Qingzi was driving through the overpasses of Tokyo, familiarly navigating every road. Lin Chuan was not in a good mood, as it had been difficult to finally track down Old A. He thought he could complete the task smoothly, but the outcome turned out to be unexpected, something that Lin Chuan found hard to accept. He could have lived with the man being dead, but the fact that the opposition had left a contingency plan was something he couldn't stomach.
"Lin Chuan, you seem really unhappy?" Qingzi asked.
"I…" Lin Chuan laughed: "I'm thinking about how to find the person with the information."
"Didn't you say Number Five would have a way?" Qingzi smiled.
"Now we are still two days away from the fifth," Lin Chuan sighed: "If we can find him within these two days, maybe we can return to the country earlier. I forgot to search Old A's room just now; there might have been useful clues."
"But it's all too late now." Qingzi looked helplessly at Lin Chuan.
"Yeah." Lin Chuan managed a smile, then scratched his head in frustration.
The situation had developed in a way Lin Chuan didn't like. He would have preferred to solve trouble in one go and then leisurely return home. Now, not only was he constantly on guard against the Yamaguchi Group getting the information, he also couldn't sleep peacefully.
"I'm sorry, okay." Qingzi took Lin Chuan's hand with her right hand and said coquettishly: "Worst comes to worst, I'll work harder to take care of you tonight. Or, you can play with me however you like."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan felt the temptation and the impact of her words. He felt like his pants were about to burst. At this moment, Qingzi giggled and actually grabbed Lin Chuan's crotch, gently pinching it, making Lin Chuan feel his 'little brother' swell up even more.
"I'll take you somewhere." Qingzi giggled again.
"Okay." Lin Chuan took a deep breath.
Qingzi immediately drove off the overpass and headed to Tokyo's Ginza.
Ginza, one of the three major sights symbolizing Japan's nature, history, and modernity (Mount Fuji, Capital City, Ginza), is as renowned as Paris's Avenue of Champs Elysees and New York's Fifth Avenue, making it one of the three bustling centers of the world. Ginza was gradually formed by continuous land reclamation. It is the birthplace of many century-old shops and local brands. The Central Avenue that runs through Ginza from block one to block eight has been designated as one of Japan's Hundred Notable Roads. It is also Ginza's busiest main street. On Sunday afternoons, traffic control is implemented on the whole of Central Avenue, making it a pedestrian paradise.
After finding a parking lot and squeezing the car in, Qingzi excitedly pulled Lin Chuan to start wandering amidst the hustle and bustle of Ginza.
Without a doubt, Tokyo's Ginza was indeed prosperous, with towering buildings on both sides sporting signs of century-old brands. The crowds were like a tidal wave, and among them, Lin Chuan could hear many people speaking Chinese. There were even tour guides leading groups of tourists passing by.
"Don't you usually shop here?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Occasionally." Qingzi smiled and said: "I rarely come here. It's boring to shop alone, I'd rather stay at home."
"No wonder." Lin Chuan nodded.
Qingzi was in a great mood today. Although she had accidentally killed Old A in the morning and caused some trouble for Lin Chuan, it didn't affect her enthusiasm for shopping in the afternoon at all. Excited, she shuttled through various department stores and excitedly purchased various fashionable clothes, designer bags, and glasses.
Whether she could use them or not, she bought them excitedly.
For the wealthy, the thrill of shopping is about the pleasure rather than the items themselves.
Although it was not Lin Chuan's first time in Ginza, this was the first time he strolled through it as a tourist and shopper.
The crowd was thick, and Qingzi was extremely excited; she seemed completely immersed in the sea of shopping. Lin Chuan's hands were already full of items. Qingzi's hands were also holding a lot of things, from big-brand clothes to designer bags and shoes… everything you could think of.
Shopping continued until after 6 in the evening, but Ginza was still far from fully explored. Qingzi showed no signs of wanting to stop. Lin Chuan helplessly said: "Qingzi, shouldn't we get going?"
"Where to?" Qingzi asked curiously.
"Isn't it time for dinner?" Lin Chuan said with a wry smile.
Perhaps this was a woman's nature, Lin Chuan thought, to shop so engrossedly that even dinner was forgotten. The idea that one could forget to eat amused him. Upon hearing this, Qingzi suddenly came to a realization and said: "Oh right, we haven't eaten yet."
"You didn't forget, did you?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.
"Almost forgot." Qingzi laughed awkwardly.
"Aren't you hungry?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Of course not!" Qingzi giggled: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place."
After saying that, Qingzi took Lin Chuan's hand and quickly returned to the parking lot, got the car, and headed straight for another place.
Near Ginza, there's a place called Yuting Street. This place is where the Japanese go to drink and socialize. The street exemplifies the tradition of Japanese culture. Along this street, there are many small Japanese bars, and inside these bars, there are plenty of geishas.
When they arrived at this street, the electronic parking spaces on both sides of the road were almost full. After finally finding a parking spot to dock the car, Qingzi and Lin Chuan got out and entered one of the bars.
Inside, there were already quite a few people gathered together. On the stage ahead, several heavily made-up geishas were performing. They played and sang, showcasing a variety of talents. Several Japanese men below were drinking, some even visibly excited in the company of young and beautiful women, engaging in merry drinking.
