Du Fei stared at the photos he had just taken in his camera, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"That's what the police are saying, how could this news be false?"
Lu Erhao, standing to the side, was also still in shock from the news.
At this moment, He Shuhuan, who had been silent until now, suddenly recalled something.
"What was that gunshot? Was anyone injured?!"
Upon hearing this, the two people beside him also realized what was going on.
It was almost time to leave, and many guests were already gradually walking out of the hall.
The murmurs of the crowd reached the ears of the three of them.
"Miss Lu Ruping is really unlucky."
"Yes, who would have thought that we would overhear Mrs. Yokota's words?"
"What if I'm unlucky..."
Although the voice was soft, Du Fei, who was closest to the guest, had already heard Ru Ping's name. He immediately rushed forward and asked her.
"Are you talking about Ru Ping? Is Miss Lu Ru Ping injured?"
Seeing the departing guests nod, Du Fei immediately rushed into the hall.
Lu Erhao and He Shuhuan followed closely behind, which led to the scene described above.
At this moment, Du Fei looked at Ru Ping, whose forehead was wrapped in gauze, and his eyes were full of heartache.
"How serious is Ru Ping's injury?! It's wrapped in such a thick layer of gauze, she'll need to rest properly from now on!"
"I never imagined that this damned Mrs. Yokota was actually a Japanese spy!"
Du Fei was still indignant, while Lu Ruping looked at He Shuhuan, who was looking at her.
For some reason, Lu Ruping subconsciously compared He Shuhuan in front of her with Ye Bai from just now.
Previously, Shu Huan was considered perfect in his eyes.
But at this moment, compared to Ye Bai, she seems to be inferior in every way.
In comparison, Ye Bai's image immediately filled Lu Ruping's mind, and she subconsciously spoke up.
"We really have to thank Mr. Ye this time..."
Upon hearing this, the three people in front of him were all taken aback.
What? !
We actually have to thank that damned Ye Bai?!
Meanwhile, Ye Bai also sneezed.
At the same time, wave after wave of electronic sounds rang in my mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 1,000 points of He Shuhuan's defense penetration value!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 1,000 points of Du Fei's defense penetration value!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 1,000 points of Lu Erhao's defense penetration value!]
...
A hint of doubt flashed in Ye Bai's eyes.
Are these three teaming up to give me free defense penetration points too?!
Chapter Sixty-Four: Liu Ming of Jingwu School Infiltrates the Prison at Night!
At this ball, Du Guosheng and the top behind-the-scenes bigwigs did not show up, but they all sent a generous gift to show their respect for Ye Bai.
Despite the incident involving Mrs. Yokota, the Paramount Ball truly achieved its intended effect.
The following day, newspapers of all sizes in Shanghai published news about the Paramount Ball.
The news that Mrs. Yokota was a spy, Yoshiko Yamaguchi, even appeared on the front page of major newspapers.
No major media outlet used the word "shocking" to describe this news.
Meanwhile, the majority of the report focused on Ye Bai, the organizer of the ball!
At the young age of twenty, he had already achieved great influence and connections in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
With no ties to their name, they quickly amassed top-tier power in Shanghai.
Through this ball, Ye Bai came into the sights of top-tier powers.
He wields countless riches, and his factories and shops rake in money every day—an astonishing amount of wealth!
They wiped out the Four Seas Gang and the Axe Gang without lifting a finger—an astonishing feat!
With such a series of achievements, how many people in the Shanghai Stock Exchange could achieve such success in their early twenties?!
Only Ye Bai!
In no time, Ye Bai's reputation soared, and his businesses seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious aura!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Tianlong Society...
In a small tea room with a four-and-a-half-tiered floor, dim light streamed in through two sliding windows. At that moment, the teapot sat on the stove, its lid half-open, gurgling as water flowed.
A man dressed in a gray and black kimono with a topknot saw the information in the newspaper and suddenly knocked the things on his desk to the ground.
"What on earth is going on?!"
The attendant beside him bowed respectfully in response.
"It is said that Ye Bai, the person in charge of the Paramount, pointed out Miss Fangzi's identity on the spot!"
Ye Bai...
Mr. Oshima, sitting in the main seat, silently repeated the name, a hint of malice and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
With a sudden burst of force, the teacup in his hand shattered.
The attendants standing nearby were trembling with fear and dared not utter a sound, terrified by Mr. Oshima's anger.
At this moment, Mr. Oshima's eerie voice continued to ring out, like a highly venomous snake spitting its silk in the distance.
"Have you found Miss Fangzi's place?"
The attendant's voice grew increasingly cautious.
"Reporting to Mr. Oshima, Miss Yoshiko is currently being held in the police station's jail."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Oshima suddenly turned around.
The dim light shone on Mr. Oshima's face, making him look exactly like the King of Hell.
"Do you know what to do?"
The voice was calm and peaceful, but at this moment it felt like the scythe of death held to the attendant's neck.
Large beads of cold sweat had appeared on the attendant's forehead as he answered in a trembling voice.
"We will definitely bring Miss Fangzi back tonight."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Oshima did not immediately show a satisfied smile, but suddenly asked a question in return.
"What if there isn't one?"
These few words conveyed extreme ruthlessness and threat.
With a thud, the attendant immediately knelt down, his head almost touching the ground as he respectfully said.
"We...will commit seppuku."
Meanwhile, outside the police station on the other side.
"Brother Liu, are you really going to kill Madam Yokota?"
The person he called Brother Liu was Liu Ming from the Jingwu School.
Liu Ming, dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, carefully put away his gun, his expression solemn.
When asked a question by his junior, Liu Ming recalled the scene from before.
At that time, he and his master were surrounded by thugs sent by the Japanese.
The enemy outnumbered them, and he and his master managed to escape with great difficulty.
Seeing his master about to get into trouble, he remembers shouting loudly at his master at that time.
"Master, you should hurry up and go."
Little did he know that this would be the last time he saw his master.
When he found his master Zhao Jingyuan again, he saw an old woman with a hunchback pull out a knife and kill her master.
Just as he hurriedly stopped the old lady, he realized that the person opposite him was not an old lady at all.
She's clearly Kaori Yamaguchi in disguise!
The golden bell in his hand was irrefutable evidence from that time!
