Chapter 89: Kidnapped

  "Sorry, Shusuke. Looks like I've dragged you into this too."

  His face, which was always full of smiles, had turned serious. He pulled Ya Feng behind him and stood in a protective stance before saying, "It's okay, nothing might happen anyway."

  Yafeng was deeply moved by the protection and comfort of Nifu, but this time's kidnapping was something he had mentally prepared for a long time ago. He just didn't expect to involve Nifu as well. Yafeng walked out from behind Nifu and asked the group of thugs: "Are you guys from the Shandong gang?"

  "Yes, our boss wants to invite Ms. Sanada to visit the Yamashita group." A black-faced thug who seemed to be the leader said.

  "This is naturally possible, but the person your boss wants is just me. This friend of mine has nothing to do with you, can't you let him go?"

  "Elegant style."

  Wu Er's disapproving cry was halted by Ya Feng's gaze.

  "Sorry, since you've been spotted, I'm afraid your friend will have to come with us as well."

  Yahiko realized that it was impossible for Nii to escape, so he could only smile apologetically at him and say: "Shusuke, it seems like I can only drag you down with me after all."

  Futaba restored her usual smile and didn't say anything, only gently rubbing Yafeng's hair.

  The top floor of the Tokyo Manzhushahua company office building.

  "President, Yamada Masayuki-san from the Yamashita group has just kidnapped Natsumi Tanaka in the park."

  "Oh, you're starting already?" The middle-aged man with a few similarities to Yafeng asked without raising his head.

  "Yes, but surprisingly, it was Akane Sanada who followed them out voluntarily, and there was also a boy with her."

  "Oh," said Madeleine Bernano, raising her head with some interest, "You say that girl followed them voluntarily, without any resistance?"

  "Yes."

  "Looks like this little girl isn't simple, has guts. Jack, take some men to the mountain pass group and bring over the princess of the Shinoda family. If we let the downhill group find out now, it won't be fun anymore." - Mei De Bernardino

  "Yes."

  Shota didn't see Yafeng and Fei'er after buying the octopus balls, and no one answered when he called Yafeng. After searching around, he still couldn't find them, so he started to get a little anxious.

  "Older brother, where are you now?" Shota asked over the phone to Nintou.

  "At the entrance of Setagaya Art Museum."

  "Has Yafeng and Bu'er arrived?"

  "Isn't Yafeng with you?"

  "I went to buy some Takoyaki and when I came back, they were both gone. Their phones are also unreachable."

  His eyebrows were already completely furrowed, then he said: "Where are you now?"

  "On this side of the central woods."

  "Okay, don't move, we'll be right there."

  After more than ten minutes, everyone gathered near the woods where Shota was.

  "What's going on? Where did Yafeng and Niji go?" Ken asked anxiously, rushing straight to Shota.

  "Yafeng said she wanted to eat takoyaki, so I went to buy some for her and asked Futaba-senpai to take care of her, but after I finished buying the takoyaki, the two of them were gone."

  "Miss Yafeng has been dealing with matters related to Yamashita's group recently, maybe..." said Kaino Shiroba with a pale face.

  Everyone was a bit anxious when they heard this sentence, after all, the Yamashita-gumi, Japan's most notorious yakuza organization, still inspired some fear in everyone.

  After observing the surrounding environment for a moment, he said: "If something really happens, there is only this forest around here that can be used as a hiding place. Let's go in and see if there are any suspicious places."

  They then divided into four groups and searched the entire forest from all directions, and after finding the bracelet that Yafeng deliberately left in the center of the forest, they confirmed the fact that Yafeng and Niji were kidnapped.

  "Yafeng offended the Shanxia group for me, and now she..." Xuelian almost collapsed after confirming Yafeng's kidnapping.

  "It's not your fault, it's not your fault, Yafeng will be fine." Ye Shu comforted Xue Shan, who had already collapsed.

  "Yamashita's group probably just wants to use Akane-san as a threat against the Sanada and Shinoda families, so they won't hurt her for now." Kaoru Kaino also followed up with some comforting words.

  "There are no signs of a fight around here, which means that Akane and Futaba likely left with the group from the mountain on their own accord, 99% probability." Kō said after observing the surroundings.

  "Everyone should just go back home, the Yamada group will definitely contact the Sanada or Shinoda family, if there's any news we'll let you know," Shinoda calmed down and then told Kenyuu and Shouta: "You two hurry back home and tell my parents about this."

  Qian also nodded and then asked: "What about you?"

  "I'm going to the Sanada house with Haino-san and Yukino, they might be able to get in touch with the Sanadas. And also, Noten, please go home and tell your parents and the head family about this, if possible, also inform the Tetsutaka family, since Akane is now the future mistress of the Tetsutaka family."

  "Yes."

  "Emily, shouldn't you be able to mobilize the private investigators of the Tsuba family in Japan?"

  "Okay."

  "Would you mind going to find Tsuba's private investigator for help in finding Yafeng and Niji?"

  "Alright."

  "Alright, everyone can go their separate ways now."

  Yahiko and Kojiro were blindfolded and taken to a remote, run-down villa.

  After entering the villa, Yafeng saw Satou Tae sitting in the hall with a smug face. For this woman who was somewhat clever but had no sense of proportion or vision, Yafeng was completely speechless.

  "Miss, the person has been brought back." The leading man said respectfully to Sato Sayori.

  "Step aside," Sato Sayori said with a smug and arrogant expression as she walked in front of Yafeng after making those people back down, "The most noble little princess of the Tiantian family, how about it? Have you ever thought that one day you would become my prisoner?"

  Yah Feng looked at her and shook his head lightly, then ignored her and said to Niji: "Zhou Zhu, after a long journey, I think you must be tired too. Let's sit down for a while."

  Sato Sayaka got angry, seeing Ya Fu like this without giving herself any face and having no consciousness of being a prisoner. She directly came up and wanted to slap Ya Fu, but unfortunately was blocked by Ya Fu.

  "Ah, I think Miss Sato hasn't quite grasped the situation yet? Right now, it's your Sato family and Yamashita group who are in need of our Toda and Shinotsuka families." With that said, he roughly flung her hand away.

  He had already opened his icy blue eyes when Satō Tae raised her hand, and was about to help Akakaze block the palm strike, but seeing that Akakaze blocked it himself, he let out a sigh of relief. Now, seeing Akakaze shake off Satō's hand, he immediately pulled her behind him, worried that Satō would do something else to harm Akakaze.

  "Good, indeed worthy of being a princess of the Sanada family, as expected you have more guts than others." Along with the voice came an old man in his sixties or seventies but with an extremely strong presence.

  Sato Sayori saw the old man come out and hurriedly ran to his front, crying: "Grandfather, it was this woman who ruined my wedding and forced Dad and Mom's company to go bankrupt. Just now she even wanted to bully me. Grandfather, you must help us take revenge."

  Yah Feng saw Sato Sayori's accusation and sneered, thinking that she had previously said that she was a bit clever to lift her up. She had just warned her so obviously, but she didn't understand it, and now she was still doing something useless to offend people. It's really hopeless.

  "Are you Mr. Yamashita?"

  Yahiko fearlessly walked out from behind Ni, although she was moved by his protection, but since this matter was caused by herself, she still had to face it herself.

  "It is I, old man."

  "Mr. Yamashita, I think you've invited us here this time to use me as a mediator to discuss terms with the Sanada family, don't you?"

  "The little girl's brain is quite clear after all."

  "Of course, if it's unclear, I might not even know how I died myself. However, I'd like to say something to Mr. Yamashita - this time, your decision wasn't very wise."

  "Oh, I'd love to hear more about it."

  "This time, dealing with the Sato family was my one-sided decision, and no one else from the Sanada family interfered. So whether or not to let the Sato family off is also up to me to decide, and no one else in the Sanada family will help me make that decision."

  "Is that so? In that case, you'd better think carefully, little girl. After all, both you and your friend are now in my hands."

  Yafeng smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Shandong, are you joking with me? Do you think the people of the Sanada family will retreat because of your words?"

  Mr. Yamashita looked at Yafeng with a gaze full of appreciation and said, "Good girl," but immediately turned serious and menacing, saying, "However, this time if you don't give me an answer that satisfies me, I don't know what I'll do."

  "Mr. Yamashita, I've already made my conditions and bottom line clear. If the Sato family can return to Setsuko-san the portion of the property that belongs to her, the Sanada and Shinoda families will absolutely withdraw immediately. Otherwise, I don't mind taking a few days off at Mr. Yamashita's place."

  Mr. Yamashita's face turned dark after listening, and he said to Yafeng: "Little girl, it's good to have the courage, but it's not good to do things without leaving any room for maneuver. My Yamashita group is not a place where people can be threatened at will. I'll give you one more night to think carefully." Then he said to the leading man: "Take them away."
