The Japanese underworld is different from Hong Kong City. In the Japanese gang system, there is a very strict hierarchy.If the car that picks up Li Jin in the afternoon (afternoon) is of other colors, such as white and silver, then the level must be relatively low.

Last year, the yakuza's revenue reached US$800 billion, equivalent to the annual budget of Thailand.This is largely inseparable from the rigor and harshness of the Japanese.

Just like Eguchi, the agreed time will not differ by a single cent, and we arrived here on time.

After knocking on the door twice, Li Jin said in Japanese, please come in.The woman pouring tea outside the door knelt and bowed to open the wooden door, bowed to Li Jin, and then said to Li Feiyu in Japanese: "Mr. Li, Mr. Eguchi invites you and two guests to the restaurant for dinner."

Li Feiyu relayed it to Li Jin in Chinese, and the three got up and walked through another small garden under the guidance of the woman.The whole hotel is built against the cliff, Li Jin and Ye Ruixin's rooms are on the first floor, with the best sea view, and the restaurant is on the second floor.It can only be reached by stepping on the quaint stone steps on the cliff and a bamboo forest path.

Seeing Li Jin and the others, Jiangkou's subordinates guarding the door all bowed in unison.

Eguchi Junsuke came out from the house.Different from the suits and leather shoes of the past, Eguchi now wears a dark blue bronzing bamboo patterned crane feather, a meticulous hairstyle and a straight waist.

"Ash, welcome!"

Eguchi Junsuke spoke broken Chinese, and stretched his arms to embrace Li Jin who stood up to greet him.

"It's beautiful here, Mr. Eguchi has a good eye!" Li Jin replied in English.

Eguchi Junsuke laughed loudly, and asked everyone to sit down together.When he can communicate by himself, he will speak in English.Eguchi's English accent is very heavy, the usual Japanese accent.When encountering some words that he couldn't explain, he would say it to Li Feiyu and ask Li Feiyu to translate it.

Overlooking the lush and rolling Hakone mountains, taste the orthodox Beijing-style kaiseki cuisine that represents the highest state of Japanese cuisine.Food utensils, seats, gardens, scroll paintings, vases, the beauty of the space created by each detail is pleasing to the eye and the heart.

When Jiangguchi invited Li Jin to Japan this time, he was of course not just for vacation.

Although the Yamaguchi-gumi is a century-old society, there is a saying widely circulated in the organization: the second child who does not want to be the big brother is not a good gangster.

Internal disputes and economic downturn are all undercurrents behind the brilliance.It is impossible for Eguchi to secure his current position, or even rise to a higher level, without relying on the secret help of external forces.

Li Jin's Xinyi Society and Li Feiyu's Tenglong Gang are all external forces that Jiangkou needs.

What Jiangkou wanted, Li Jin knew very well.Similarly, even if Eguchi needs a partner, he will not let himself fall into a disadvantaged position.Listening to the conversation between the two, Ye Ruixin suddenly felt that he was watching the game between the old fox and the wolf, which was quite an interesting scene.

Li Jin won't involve him too much in the affairs of the society, all he has to do is deal with a corporate acquisition in the next few days.As for today, just enjoy the holiday with a sip of sake while looking at the delicately crafted delicacies.

After the exquisite dinner, which lasted for two hours just by passing the dishes, all business matters came to an end first.Jiangkou sent someone to send two bathrobes, asked Li Jin and Ye Ruixin to change into them, and said, "When you come to Izu, you must go to the hot springs. You must enjoy it tonight!"

"Xiaoqi, what Mr. Jiangguchi said is full of masculine charm... what a symbol." Li Jin looked at Li Feiyu, frowning slightly, as if trying to remember, "How do you say that sentence in Japanese?"

Li Feiyu laughed, and slowly said it to Li Jin in Japanese.Following Li Feiyu's words, Li Jin said to Jiangguchi: "Izu is a symbol of fire full of masculine charm!"

If Li Jin really had a talent for languages, it really seemed like that when he said it.

Jiangkou laughed out loud when he heard this, patted Li Jin on the shoulder, and said to Li Jin with the few Cantonese words he knew: "Sharp!"

It has snowed in some parts of Izu in December, but the coastal areas are not too cold.The hot springs here are not like those in China that pretend to be natural springs but use luxurious packaging to deceive people. There are really good ingredients here, so apart from a simple charm, there is no need for other embellishments.

In the square hot spring made of rough raw stone, the spring water here is earthy brown compared to the colorless and transparent hot springs that are common in Japan, and is said to be rich in various minerals.Jiangguchi, Li Jin and the other four enjoyed the pleasure of soaking in the hot springs in winter under the starry sky in Izu.

The air breathed by the tip of the nose is fresh and cold, but the body is in the warm spring water.Every pore on every inch of skin opened in an instant, and my thoughts couldn't help but slacken.Thinking about nothing and doing nothing is the greatest respect for hot springs.

"Xiaoqi is 21 this year?" Li Jin looked at the jade pendant on Li Feiyu's chest and said.

"Yeah!" Li Feiyu nodded.

"Small me!" Li Jin looked at Li Feiyu and laughed, and said, "I seem to be just a pony when you were your age."

"The scar on Brother Jin's back...was it left at that time?"

When taking off his clothes just now, Li Feiyu discovered such a terrifying scar on Li Jin's back.He knew that Li Jin started from scratch, but when Li Feiyu met him, he already looked like a big boss.It wasn't until seeing that scar that he could imagine the days when he used a knife to slash his friends.

"It was scary at the time, wasn't it?"

"If it wasn't for Rui Xin, I would have been hacked to death that day!" Li Jin said.

"Brother Jin rescued by Young Master Ye?"

Li Feiyu was surprised, Li Jin's scar almost ran through his entire back.Ye Ruixin didn't have any injuries on his body, and he didn't look like someone who used a knife or a gun.

Seeing Li Feiyu's curious look, Li Jin became playful, sat up straight, and said, "Hey, brother Jin will tell you the story of our young and Dangerous boy today!"

Ye Ruixin on the side looked at Li Jin as he recounted the events of that year with joy, and his description of that nightmarish past was even more exciting than a movie.But really, he was just telling a story.

Accompanied by Li Jin's voice, Ye Ruixin's thoughts returned to 10 years ago.

Back then, Master Ji asked Li Jin to kill a man named Fei Wei.Li Jin did it beautifully, but he didn't expect that Fei Wei was the illegitimate son of Zhao Huasheng, the spokesperson of Tianxing Society.This incident came out, and Zhao Hua gave birth to the Jianghu hunting order.Li Jin had no choice but to run away temporarily, but he was afraid that Ye Ruixin would be involved, so he asked the water ghost to find someone to protect him.

And the person who protected Ye Ruixin back then was Qiao Jiang.

At that time, Qiao Jiang was a well-known killer, and the money he hired almost cost all of Li Jin's hard-earned savings over the past few years.But in Li Jin's words, nothing is more important than brothers, and Ye Ruixin must not be troubled.As for how Qiao Jiang changed from a lone wild wolf to following Li Jin, that's another story.

After a month like this, Li Jin ran to Taiwan, and Qiao Jiang took Ye Ruixin to hide in a village house.Ji Ye, on the other hand, dredged up the relationship in Jianghu, trying to take responsibility (suppress) for this matter.And just when he thought the limelight was over, Li Jin met Ye Ruixin when he was chased by a dozen young and Dangerous boys with machetes.

Fortunately, with Qiao Jiang around, he let Li Jin take Ye Ruixin to run, and he solved many of them behind him.But there is always a fish that slipped through the net and caught up with the two of them, forcing them into a dead end.

Li Jin picked up the water hose (water pipe) beside the road, protecting Ye Ruixin and prepared to fight to the death.

Sword, light and sword are really not as easy as he portrays now.That knife is trying to slash at you with all its strength. It is a good thing to slash to death, but it is the most terrifying thing to lose your limbs and be permanently disabled.

Ye Ruixin still remembers the moment when the machete was slashed in front of her eyes.The terror of dying, accompanied by the moonlight reflected on the blade, appeared in Ye Ruixin's countless nightmares in slow motion.

And at this moment of life and death, Li Jin rushed over and hugged Ye Ruixin tightly in his arms.In that alley with no way out, I used my own body to protect it.

Ye Ruixin watched the knife slash at Li Jin's back like that, and could feel the force of his body because of the pain, and the painful hug.

Just when the second knife was about to land again, Ye Ruixin took out the pistol that Qiao Jiang gave him.

"Bang!" With a sound, the bullet passed straight through the man's body, and a hole appeared in an instant, and blood kept gushing out.He widened his eyes ferociously, and looked at Ye Ruixin in disbelief, his instinct made him not stop, and he continued to walk forward.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Ye Ruixin closed his eyes and fired three more shots, one shot hit the man's face, the man was beaten beyond recognition.That was a scene that Ye Ruixin would never forget.

Ye Ruixin couldn't remember what happened after that.All he knew was that his whole body was freezing and shivering uncontrollably.After that, Li Jin never mentioned this matter again, and he never expected to hear it from him today.

At this time, Ye Ruixin was like a storyteller, calmly listening to Li Jin talk about the follow-up of this incident.In his description, the protagonists always survived the crisis at a critical moment.Also because of this incident, Li Jin's status in the society jumped up.Everything is as written in the movie script, without any danger.

But for Ye Ruixin, it was another script.

That was Ye Ruixin's first murder. He was 17 years old that year.
