Chapter 690: Encountering Murderous Intent on the 8th Floor of the Hotel
"Gunfire? Where’s that gunfire coming from?""Could it be that our identities have been exposed? Are enemies coming for us?"
"Impossible. Our whereabouts are extremely secretive. There’s no way they could be leaked."
At this moment, Qiu Wen, Du Xueqi, and Shen Yaqing crowded around Ye Fan and Mengyao, having already planned the strategy to bloodily cleanse Blood Rose Base One. The sudden gunfire made them doubt.
The possibility of identity exposure is very small, but if they haven’t been exposed, where is this gunfire coming from?
Even if enemies are really coming for them, they naturally don’t care; their strength now is formidable, how could they worry about such a minor trouble ahead?
Thus, none of them showed any worry, just a hint of surprise.
"Don’t get flustered. Let’s listen to the commotion first, then decide." Ye Fan said calmly.
"Should we postpone the plan to cleanse Blood Rose Base One?" Du Xueqi asked in a low voice.
"If it’s enemies really coming for us, there wouldn’t be such dense gunfire; they’d directly attack us. Finding our room is easy; there’s no need for random gunfire. So, I suspect there’s another situation happening. We’ll temporarily put our actions on hold; there’s no need to alert the snake. Once this change calms down, we’ll devise a plan." Ye Fan said without question.
To ensure nothing goes wrong, the later their identities are exposed, the better.
Ye Fan has his own plan and does not want to lure enemies out. It’s best to annihilate them in their lair.
"Master, what should we do now? If enemies are coming for us, we’re not afraid, but if they aren’t enemies, we might be affected. Leaving now will certainly make us encounter the attackers, as then a conflict will erupt. If we don’t act, it’s fine, but if we do, we’ll definitely reveal our strength." Qiu Wen asked seriously.
"You go outside to scout the situation. Act according to the circumstances, and remember, try to hide your strength as much as possible. If there’s no need to expose, don’t expose it." Ye Fan instructed.
"Yes, Master." Qiu Wen exited the room.
Ye Fan and Mengyao sat down, completely ignoring the dense gunfire outside.
Du Xueqi and Shen Yaqing, with a mindset of caution, stood guard around the door, observing the situation outside.
"Japan is truly chaotic. Just moved into the hotel, haven’t rested peacefully a night yet, and heard so much gunfire." Mengyao gave a wry smile, helplessly said.
"Exactly." Ye Fan said casually.
Ye Fan and Mengyao chatted while sipping on red wine.
Mentioning Japan, everyone’s first impression would be a few men and women, at least two, more could be added judiciously takes just such a few people filming love action films naked. Surely, they are the guides to happiness for many.
"Master and the President truly have the leisure. Gunfire outside like thunder, yet they can leisurely drink and chat." Shen Yaqing said with sparkling eyes.
"Precisely." Du Xueqi echoed cheerfully.
...
In the hotel lobby, a group of well-trained assassins rushed in, carrying lethal weapons and recklessly firing.
It was nighttime, those few guests staying at the hotel were victimized, their lives were devoured by merciless bullets.
Screams echoed through.
Panic surged.
Miserable cries rose and fell.
"Go to the eighth floor of the hotel, slaughter everyone inside, especially the target cannot be spared, other floors can randomly kill some people." A leading man chattered in gibberish, then the group split into three teams. The leading man stayed in the lobby, sealing the exit, while the other two teams focused on killing the target. Another small group randomly invaded other floors to casually eliminate some people.
The purpose of this is naturally to mislead, creating the appearance of a terrorist attack.
This is all orchestrated by the grim man outside the hotel, Akiyama Shoichi. The assassins entering the hotel are sacrificial pawns, he’s not planning to let them live. Only by having them die can they permanently remain silent.
This is a big affair; if mishandled, it will undoubtedly cause immense trouble. To avoid attracting trouble, the blame must be shifted away. As long as no trace is left, all is well.
Akiyama Shoichi’s identity is not simple; he’s a member of the Akiyama Family, one of the two major families controlling Wanpu Company.
Wanpu Company is controlled by two families, the Akiyama Family and the Sato Family.
In Ba Country, Okamura Jiro, who died at the hands of Ye Fan, and Yamada Taro, who recently died, were Akiyama Family’s aces. The loss of these two aces dealt a heavy blow to Akiyama Family, hence Sato Family harbored ambitions to annex Akiyama Family and monopolize Wanpu Company.
Thus arose this murderous intent.
Sato Family’s Patriarch’s daughter, Sato Miyabi, is on the hotel eighth floor, so the eighth floor is about to become Hell, for everyone on this floor will die, and more innocent people will be caught in the crossfire. To shift the blame onto terrorism, Akiyama Shoichi meticulously planned, not only contacting terrorists but also having prominent victims in the hotel to cover the true intent behind the targeted killings.
Although the Sato Family is weaker, it cannot be underestimated by the Akiyama Family.
To suppress this close ally, Akiyama Family is committed to it.
Coincidentally, Ye Fan and Mengyao are also residing on the hotel eighth floor. This coincidence places them amidst crisis. Of course, these minor crises pose no concern for Ye Fan and his companions, but if identities are compromised, it becomes problematic. It’s best to keep hidden if possible.
Once engaged, Ye Fan and his companions would certainly not surrender; they’d inevitably counterattack, which would put them directly at odds with the Akiyama Family.
The main issue is, Ye Fan and his companions cannot quickly discern the internal conflict between the Akiyama and Sato families. Having already planned the strategy to cleanse Blood Rose Base One, any further developments would be unfavorable.
Currently, the hotel serves as a base for Ye Fan and his group. In Japan, they would from this location execute a series of operations. Exposing themselves so soon and abandoning this place is unfavorable from any perspective.
Had they known the adversaries were on the brink of conflict, perhaps there would be different considerations.
But now, they don’t know the situation at all.
Not taking action also isn’t feasible, as someone could directly target them, suffering undue calamity is a reality.
But taking action isn’t what Ye Fan and his companions want either.
