Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

At that moment, a respectful young man in a black suit quickly walked onto the ring, holding a vibrating, expensive-looking black satellite phone in his hand.

"Brother Tora-Tora," the younger brother said with a hint of awe and nervousness, "Your call... is... is from an unfamiliar encrypted number."

Bai Shihu also picked up the phone, glanced at the unfamiliar, unmarked number on the screen, and frowned slightly.

At this point in time, who would contact him in this way?

He wiped the blood off his hands with a towel, pressed the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and said "Hello" impatiently in a low and hoarse voice that seemed to still carry the aftermath of the fight.

"...who?"

Bai Shihuye's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fatigue and undisguised impatience after just experiencing a fierce fight.

He hated being disturbed when he was "relaxing", especially using such an unfamiliar encrypted number.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, as if trying to determine his identity. Then a middle-aged male voice came, sounding slightly cautious but trying to remain calm:

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Shiraishi Toraya?"

"It's me." Bai Shihuye's tone was still unfriendly: "If you have to fart, fart quickly."

The person on the other end of the line seemed choked by his rude attitude, but quickly recovered.

"Mr. Shiraishi, excuse me for disturbing you. I'm Toyokawa Hidehiko."

"Toyokawa Hidehiko?"

Bai Shihu also frowned and searched for the name in his mind.

He didn't care much about business matters, but the surname "Toyokawa" still had some weight in Tokyo.

He seemed to have a vague impression?

It seems to be the guy who controls Star Entertainment?

"Oh, I remembered it."

He grinned. "It's that boss Fengchuan from the entertainment company. What's up? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

His tone was full of contempt for the hypocrisy and dirty tricks of these "upper class" people.

"I'm contacting you this time because I want to talk to you about something that concerns our common interests."

"Common interests?"

Bai Shihu also raised his eyebrows, showing some interest: "Tell me about it."

Toyokawa Hidehiko took a deep breath, as if considering his words, and then lowered his voice:

"Mr. Bai Shi, I know that your relationship with some of your colleagues within the Canglong Society doesn't seem to be harmonious."

Bai Shihuye's eyes instantly became sharp: "Are you trying to sow discord?"

"Don't dare!"

Toyokawa Hidehiko quickly denied it. "I just wanted to provide some information. Some information about your 'colleagues' who have recently done something that is detrimental to the overall interests of the Soryukai."

"Oh?"

Bai Shihu also narrowed his eyes, his fingers unconsciously stroking the short, hard stubble on his chin.

He probably guessed what the other party wanted to say.

It seems that someone wants to use him to deal with someone in the gang?

This kind of thing is not uncommon within the Canglong Society, which is now full of factions and internal strife.

"Go ahead."

His tone was still cold.

Toyokawa Hidehiko was silent for a few seconds, then slowly uttered a name:

"Kimura Seiichiro."

When he heard the name, the nonchalant and ruffian look on Bai Shihu's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Seiichiro Kimura.

Among the several young assistants of the Soryukai, the one that Bai Shihu dislikes the most is this Kimura Seiichiro!

The reason is simple, it's just pure disgust!

Bai Shihu also believes in fists and strength, and he values ​​being straightforward and taking revenge on the spot!

And what about that guy Kimura? He always has a smiling, friendly face and looks harmless, but who knows what conspiracy he is plotting in his heart!

The kind of guy who says one thing in public and another in private, who always talks about "rules" and "the overall situation" but is actually more insidious and cunning than anyone else, is the kind of person that Bai Shihu hates the most!

Every time in a meeting, seeing Kimura’s hypocritical smile and listening to his high-sounding and roundabout words, Bai Shihu felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to rush up on the spot and smash his hypocritical face with one punch!

It's a pity that Kimura is a slippery guy, and he himself is not good at playing power games and conspiracies, so although he is extremely unhappy, he has never found a good opportunity to completely bring that guy down.

And now...

This guy named Toyokawa actually came to me and said he wanted to provide some "dirt" on Kimura?

Bai Shihuye's mouth once again opened into a malicious smile:

"Tell me more about it."

Toyokawa Hidehiko was vague, obviously not wanting to reveal too many details:

"He's recently used a lot of resources for an unrelated outsider, even going so far as to bring disaster upon himself and implicate many innocent people and companies. I believe this kind of behavior is definitely not what the Canglong Club would like to see, right?"

Although Toyokawa Hidehiko's words were vague, Bai Shihu probably understood them.

Most likely, Kimura did something shady behind the scenes again and offended this guy named Toyokawa.

But none of this matters!

The important thing is!

This is a great opportunity to defeat Kimura!

He stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "What do you want me to do?"

When Hidehiko Toyokawa heard his straightforward answer, he was delighted, knowing that his plan was half successful!

"It's very simple," Toyokawa Hidehiko lowered his voice, with a hint of viciousness in his tone: "I need Mr. Shiraishi to help me with something."

He paused, then offered a more tempting offer:

"Of course, I won't let Mr. Shiraishi's efforts go to waste. After the matter is completed, I can use the resources of the Toyokawa family to 'help' Mr. Shiraishi take over those plots of land in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro smoothly."

"Boss Fengchuan, you are very sensible!" Bai Shihu also laughed wildly, very satisfied with Fengchuan Hidehiko's "knowledge of the times":

"Okay! I'll take this 'business'!"

He didn't even bother to investigate whether the information provided by Hidehiko Toyokawa was true or false, nor did he think about the possible risks and traps behind it.

For him, as long as there is a chance to kill that annoying guy Kimura and grab the territory...

That's enough!

As for the rest?

Let’s fight again!

"Tell me everything you know."

.....

PS: I promised to update 8,000 yesterday, but I haven’t updated it yet. Just think of it as me owing 8,000 more. I’m really sorry.

This chapter is 9,500, which can barely be considered a five-in-one?

Chapter 93 Oh My God, Mr. Xiangzi

Cicada——Cicada——

The chirping of cicadas in late summer arrives with the last breath of summer heat.

At this moment, the five members of Ave mujica gathered together again to discuss the relevant matters of the next "unveiling" performance.

On the whiteboard, each member's code name, topic direction and approximate time schedule were marked with markers of different colors.

Today's topic is about the location of the second performance - the unveiling performance centered around bassist Timoris.

"I think... Tokyo would be better, right?"

Sanjiao Chuhua was the first to speak. She gently fiddled with the tablet in her hand, which displayed information on several alternative venues:

"Tokyo is our home turf after all, with a more solid fan base and more concentrated promotional resources."

Her voice was as gentle as ever, and her analysis was clear and coherent.

"Yeah, I also think Tokyo is more suitable."

Yutenji Wakamai rarely made a fuss, but instead thought carefully before agreeing:

"Although the Osaka show was a success, it was an away game after all. It's better to be cautious with the second show. Also, it would be easier for us to prepare if we hold it in Tokyo."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Jiujo Renji who was sitting in the main seat, as if wanting to see the other person's reaction.

Hachiman Kairei herself didn't say anything, just leaned coolly against the wall, holding her bass, as if the location had nothing to do with her.

Mu still sat quietly in the corner, his eyes blank, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiujo Liansi tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if weighing the pros and cons.

He does prefer to hold the second show in Tokyo.

Tokyo's venue resources, media attention, and the "gray forces" that can be mobilized to deal with emergencies are far beyond Osaka's reach.

Moreover, fixing the performance venue in Tokyo will also help further consolidate the band's core influence in the metropolitan area.

"Then let's set it in Tokyo." He finally decided:

"I will finalize the venue and specific performance content as soon as possible."

The discussion came to an end and everyone started packing up and preparing for today's daily rehearsal.

At this moment, Yutenji Wakamugi once again "seized the opportunity" and approached Kujo Renji with her signature sweet smile on her face and a cautiously expectant tone:

"Um...Xiao Xiang...after we finish rehearsal...would you like to...go out for dinner together? I know a new dessert shop, and their matcha parfait is super-delicious!"

Here she comes again.

Kujo Renji sighed helplessly in his heart.

This Miss Ruomai is really...persistent in her obsession with having a "date" with him alone.

"Next time."

He still declined in a relatively gentle tone:

"I have things to do after rehearsal."

“Ah…I see…”

Ruomai's smile fell, and her eyes were filled with visible disappointment. But she quickly pulled herself together again:

"N-Never mind! Next time! Next time I'll definitely have a chance..."

Kujo Renji didn't respond to her and walked straight to the keyboard.

Looking at Ruomai's deflated look, Toyokawa Shoko in his mind couldn't help but snort, with a barely perceptible hint of... gloating?

Maybe there are some other emotions?

......

The rehearsal is proceeding step by step.

However, in addition to the band's affairs, another matter that is crucial to the identity of a "student" has also been quietly put on the agenda.

That is - the final exam.

Although the school spirit at Yugaoka Girls' Academy is relatively liberal and encourages students to develop their individuality, the academic requirements are not easy.

The final exams, in particular, are not only related to the overall evaluation of the semester and the assessment of scholarships, but are also a crucial link for students like Kujo Renji who aim to attend top universities.

In addition to traditional written tests, the examination may also include various assessment methods such as classroom performance, short essays, experimental reports, etc., which is highly comprehensive.

For Kujo Renji, who has been busy with band operations, dealing with various "off-field troubles", and even having to distract himself to deal with potential crises within the family, this is obviously something that is worth spending time to deal with.
