The weather in Tokyo changes suddenly. When Chu Zihang woke up and opened the curtains in his room, he almost thought he had overslept and slept until the night again.

It was raining heavily on Kabukicho Street outside the French window. The black cloud curtain wrapped in the sky seemed to be pressing down on the roof of the building. There were almost no people on the street in the heavy rain. Only a few neon lights illuminated the puddles on the street and reflected colorful light.

There were still few people on the street. Even businesses would choose to close their shops and not do business in such heavy rain. Occasionally, a few passers-by holding white umbrellas hurriedly passed by. Except for the hand holding the umbrella, they wanted to stuff the rest of their bodies into the waterproof windbreaker. The leather shoes splashed colorful water in the puddles.

Chu Zihang, with his upper body naked, stood in front of the French window and was controlled by the heavy rain outside the Kabukicho street scene for about half a minute. Until he heard the movement of Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian in the living room of the suite outside, he reached out and grabbed the clothes on the sofa, put them on, and walked to open the door.

"Awake?" Caesar was tying his shoelaces on the edge of the coffee table. He was wearing a black windbreaker. Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei were wearing the same outfit. The black windbreaker was lined with white lining, and the exposed white collar was neatly trimmed. It didn't look like he was going to a meeting, but more like he was going to chop people while it was raining and leaving no traces. It was a typical gangster style.

Chu Zihang looked at the clothes hanger beside him. There was also a black windbreaker on it, probably prepared for him. Lin Nian followed his gaze and said, "The Sheqi Eight Families usually have dress requirements for meetings, just like Shilan High School requires school uniforms for flag-raising morning exercises, or Michelin three-star restaurants require sleeved clothes to enter."

"I heard that the Japanese underworld is very particular about rituals. I look forward to seeing someone contradict the head of the Sheqi Eight Families at the conference table, and then have his head chopped off by a knife." Caesar tied his clothes and checked his clothes in front of the floor-length mirror to ensure that he would not lose face for the Italian Mafia in front of the Japanese underworld.

"Chairman, have you watched too many Kill Bill movies? No matter how crazy the Japanese branch is, they won't choose to use people as sacrifices when they are in a wartime crisis and are short of people, right?" Lu Mingfei complained as he tried to tie his tie in front of the mirror.

"It's hard to say. Have you forgotten that we still have the task of catching the traitor today? If we can successfully identify who the traitor is at the conference table, then maybe we can really recreate the famous scene in that movie." Lin Nian couldn't stand the way Lu Mingfei tied his tie clumsily into a knot, so he pulled his tie and forced him to bend down, tied it for him in no time, and then pushed it away by pressing his forehead.

Chu Zihang put on a windbreaker that fit him perfectly. He didn't choose to wear a tie, but simply buttoned the windbreaker. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the conversation in the room suddenly stopped.

After Lin Nian and the others looked at each other for a few seconds, they looked at Chu Zihang who was close to the door. Chu Zihang nodded and walked over to put his hand on the door handle and pressed it, then opened it. After a second, he made way.

Standing outside was Okubo Ryoichi. Caesar and Lu Mingfei had seen this man who spoke for Lin Nian at the hearing, and temporarily let down their guard. Lin Nian also stood up and walked towards Okubo Ryoichi at the door. The two didn't say anything, but just raised their hands and held them together, slightly touching shoulders and then separated.

"Did you rest well?" Okubo Ryoichi nodded at the several people in the reception room who were already dressed neatly.

"The view is good, the room is soundproof, and there is nothing to complain about except that you can't see the Tokyo Tower." Caesar gave his own fair evaluation directly.

"I'm sorry, if you have a crush on Tokyo Tower, maybe after the meeting, I can report to my family and drive you there. But the weather is not very good today, which may affect the view from Tokyo Tower." Okubo Ryoichi looked at Caesar and nodded slightly.

"Oh? Is there a part of touring Tokyo? Can we go to the Electric Street on the way to Tokyo Tower?" Lu Mingfei poked his head and was a little surprised. He originally thought that they came here to be cattle and horses, but he didn't expect that cattle and horses could also have a chance to go out.

"The Electric Street on rainy days may not be as prosperous as you think. When it rains heavily, the business districts and stalls at tourist attractions in Japan are basically closed." Okubo Ryoichi looked at Lu Mingfei and explained.

"If they don't open, what will they eat? No business when it rains? Are the Japanese so lazy? At least they have to close when there is a typhoon." Lu Mingfei scratched his eyebrows.

"The national conditions are different. The rent in Japan is expensive, and the hourly wage for hiring shop assistants is also a considerable expense. The number of tourists will be greatly reduced on rainy days. If we open the store as usual, we may not be able to make back the labor cost in a day, so it is better to close the store and wait for the weather to be more crowded before opening the store." Liangyi patiently explained to Lu Mingfei until Lu Mingfei showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face.

"I like your friend." Caesar tilted his head slightly to Lin Nian and said bluntly.

"That's because you haven't seen him before. He was so annoying before." Lin Nian laughed softly and patted the shoulder of the man in front of him who also showed a faint smile. "He stood me up the first time he met me and went to chase the fugitive alone - if I have to say, I still saw his person when I got off the plane. A little finger that was cut off to apologize and placed in an ice bucket?"

"I like it more." Caesar smiled even more, walked up and took the initiative to shake hands with Okubo Liangyi and introduce himself. Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang also walked up to shake hands.

"If there is nothing else, please move to the car. The weather outside is not very good now. If there is a traffic jam on the road, it may delay the meeting." Okubo Ryoichi walked out of the door and bowed slightly to make a gesture of invitation.

Ryoichi led the way, and the four people went down the elevator to the first floor of the club. There was a black Mercedes-Benz parked in the rain at the door. The waiter in front of the club held an umbrella for them one by one to get in the car. Finally, he nodded to Ryoichi who opened the driver's door to signal a safe journey and then retreated under the eaves, bowed, and finally bent over and looked up to see the red taillights of the Mercedes-Benz disappear at the end of the main street of Kabukicho in the heavy rain and turn into the main road.

Mercedes-Benz drove on the main road of Tokyo in the heavy rain, with vehicles on both sides. The upside-down tram whizzing overhead always made people worry whether it would fall down when passing by, but just when this thought came up, the lights of the tram had disappeared in the misty rain in the distance.

It must be said that Okubo Ryoichi's skills as a driver are excellent. He is very quiet. If no one in the car asks him questions, he can always hold the steering wheel and look forward. Even the sound of his breathing will not be noticed by the people in the back seat.

Secondly, he drives very fast and steadily. Lin Nian also asked about this in the car. According to Ryoichi's answer, he has been working beside the head of the Inuyama family for many years. He is almost inseparable from Inuyama He. The most thing he does is to drive for the head of the Inuyama family. He also needs to follow him when he goes to various occasions. It can be seen that his friend has been upgraded from a handyman in the Inuyama family to a role closer to the center of power. The thing he holds most often in his hand has changed from a knife to a steering wheel, and the blood on his clothes has become filth on the wine table. It is hard to say whether this is a bad thing or a good thing.

Now the whole city is covered by a black cloud. It is only a little after noon, but it is already as dark as the middle of the night. The tall buildings are forced to light up, and the red lights on the roofs of the buildings are flashing. If you look down from a high place, you will find that the whole Tokyo is shrouded in the dim flickering lights. The weak frequency seems to be the city's breathing in the wind and rain.

Lin Nian, the co-pilot, looked out the window at the people on the street outside. In order to avoid the traffic jams in the main urban area, their driving route deliberately bypassed the prosperous areas. In addition to the high-rise buildings and various neon lights unique to Tokyo, Lin Nian also discovered another side of Tokyo that he had never seen before.

In the dark alleys between the city buildings, many homeless people can be seen suddenly. In front of the homeless people in the cardboard boxes, there are wet paper shells with the words [HELP] written on them in English. Some people who don’t know if they are mentally broken stand at the zebra crossing in the heavy rain with things with the words [The Last Day of the World] written on them. Passers-by pretend not to see them and walk away with their heads down.

Mercedes-Benz drove past the intersection. The people holding the signs raised their heads and watched the luxury car passing by. While silently lip-syncing to the people in the car, they kept tapping the words on the signs they held. The eyes covered by the hair under the wet woolen hat were so deep that they made people feel scary.

Mercedes-Benz suddenly stopped suddenly. Lu Mingfei in the back seat hit his head on the front seat and made a sound of ouch. Chu Zihang and Caesar were as steady as a rock.

The red taillights of the car ahead were stained red in the rain. There was a traffic jam on the road ahead, and the Mercedes-Benz was forced to stop. The heavy rain washed the windshield, and the wipers were humming at different frequencies. Even though the car had good sound insulation, the noise of the traffic jam ahead could still be heard through the rain. People could also be seen vaguely blocking the overpass ahead, seemingly arguing about something.

Rainy days are prone to making people anxious. The damp feeling and the air with some sharp smells after circulating back and forth through the air purifier in the car can easily make people feel uncomfortable.

"Everyone stay in the car and wait. I'll go down and take a look." Liang Yi opened the door, pulled out an umbrella from one side and held it up, and walked into the heavy rain ahead.

"Is there anything wrong?" Chu Zihang in the back seat looked at the direction Liang Yi left and the crowded crowd ahead and asked in a low voice.

"Not necessarily, wait for him to solve it first, he can do it." Lin Nian signaled them to be patient.
