YM778.TV Chapter 1998: He's the One Who Attacked You
Looking at the blade against his neck, Yoshitomo Kyomoto felt the coldness projected from the blade.
The threat of death seemed to have turned even the blood in his body cold.
“You, what exactly do you want to do?” Yoshitomo Kyomoto was not flustered, staring intently at Lin Yi. “If you dare to lay a hand on me, neither of you will leave here alive.”
“Can’t leave?” Lin Yi’s expression remained calm, showing no reaction.
“How do you know there are only the two of us? Couldn’t there be people lying in ambush outside?”
“You…”
These words made Yoshitomo Kyomoto unable to maintain his composure.
If Taro Karasawa’s men were waiting outside, things would indeed be troublesome.
Mina Ito, standing nearby, glanced at Lin Yi secretly and found that this man’s resolve was incredibly strong.
Clearly, there were only two of them, but from his tone, it seemed as if he was speaking the truth.
“At this point, there’s no need to say anything else,” Lin Yi said.
“You belong to the Mitsubishi Group, so I want to know if this matter was ordered by them. You have three seconds to think about it. Don’t make me wait too long.”
“Yes.”
Yoshitomo Kyomoto did not resist, saving Lin Yi a lot of time.
“The Mitsui Group and the Mitsubishi Group have always coexisted peacefully, with the former even being somewhat stronger than the latter. Where does the Mitsubishi Group get the confidence to provoke the Mitsui Group?”
This was Lin Yi’s question. Finding the Mitsubishi Group’s motive could solve many of their issues.
“I don’t know that either. I only received instructions to arrange a car accident for Caie Mitsui. As for the rest, I know nothing.”
Lin Yi’s eyes shifted slightly, not doubting much.
Yoshitomo Kyomoto only appeared to be in a strong position but was actually insignificant.
Given the scale of the Mitsubishi Group and its global influence, they could contend with even a fully powered Yamaguchi-gumi, let alone Yoshitomo Kyomoto, who led only a part of its forces.
From the current situation, Yoshitomo Kyomoto was just a pawn and naturally wouldn’t know much.
“Who instructed you to do this?” Lin Yi asked quietly.
“This…”
Yoshitomo Kyomoto hesitated, unsure how to respond.
“You have three seconds to think about it. I hope you cooperate, as one only has one life,” Lin Yi said calmly, then began counting down, “Three, two…”
“Wait!”
Yoshitomo Kyomoto hurriedly stopped Lin Yi, cold sweat already seeping from his forehead.
“It was Iwasaki Masataka, the second son of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu.”
Yoshitomo Kyomoto trembled, “I’ve told you everything I know. Can you put the sword down now?”
“Putting it down is not possible. You’re coming with us. You still have some use,” Lin Yi said.
“Of course, if you don’t want to come, I can deal with you right now.”
“No, don’t!”
Yoshitomo Kyomoto, fearing for his life, said, “I’ll go with you, just don’t kill me.”
“Let’s go.”
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Yi restrained Yoshitomo Kyomoto, then got into his car without being noticed.
After the car left the manor, Lin Yi called Caie Mitsui and informed her of the situation, preparing to discuss the next steps upon his return.
…
Caie Mitsui was eating in the Mitsui family’s manor.
But after the call, she lost her apetite. She planned to wait for Lin Yi to come back.
“Make another one. I’ll eat in half an hour.”
“Understood, Miss.”
Knowing that Lin Yi was coming back, Caie Mitsui’s mood improved.
She went to the courtyard alone and prepared to feed the fish in the pond.
About ten minutes later, Kenji Nakada walked toward Caie Mitsui and whispered in her ear,
“Miss, Iwasaki Masataka from the Mitsubishi family is here.”
“What’s he doing here?”
Caie Mitsui looked disgusted when she heard the name.
“I don’t know exactly, but his car is right outside.”
“I don’t have time to see him. Have him leave,” Caie Mitsui said coldly.
“That’s what I said earlier, but he said that if Miss didn’t give him a chance to meet, he wouldn’t leave, so…”
“Damn it!”
After cursing, Caie Mitsui said helplessly, “Let him in.”
“Got it.”
A few minutes later, a man in a white shirt and dress pants, accompanied by two bodyguards and carrying flowers and a gift box, walked up to Caie Mitsui while smiling.
“Miss Mitsui, I heard you were injured last night. I came to check on you.”
Iwasaki Masataka looked proper and young, looking to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. In front of an imposing woman like Caie Mitsui, his presence seemed lacking.
However, his face bore a hint of roguishness, as if he didn’t take Caie Mitsui seriously.
“The news has been sealed, yet you still managed to find out. You must really care about me.”
Iwasaki Masataka shrugged. “What can I do? I’ve always admired you, so I naturally care more. But what concerns me more is that such a large enterprise of the Mitsui family falls on your shoulders alone. Isn’t it too burdensome?”
“I’m holding up. If conditions allow, I could handle the Mitsubishi Group’s business as well,” Caie Mitsui said.
“If Mr. Iwasaki feels tired of his work, I’d be willing to help out.”
Iwasaki Masataka’s expression changed slightly, looking displeased.
“Why such hostility? I was merely expressing my concern. As for the future, I can only wish you good luck, hehe…”
Iwasaki Masataka didn’t stay long and prepared to leave.
His visit today had no special purpose other than to gloat and kick someone while they’re down.
Having achieved his goal, he naturally wanted to leave.
But as Iwasaki Masataka was about to depart, Mina Ito drove in from outside and stopped beside the two.
“Mr. Lin.”
Seeing Lin Yi return, Caie Mitsui’s expression brightened, like a girl in love.
Iwasaki Masataka took note of this scene.
He was curious to know who this man, referred to as Mr. Lin, was.
After getting out of the car, Lin Yi also noticed Iwasaki Masataka.
“Who is this?”
“Iwasaki Masataka, the second son of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu.”
“So, that’s him.”
Lin Yi chuckled, feeling it was too coincidental. He had planned to rest for a while before going to find him, but now Iwasaki had delivered himself.
“You know him?” Caie Mitsui asked, surprised.
“He’s the one who attacked you. How could I not know him?”
