Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

At this time, Toyokawa Shoko also reacted and realized how ridiculous the words she had just blurted out were.

Toyokawa Kiyoshi...her father was a very kind person in normal times and there was no way he could be involved with the underworld.

"Who is he talking about...?"

Kujo Renji cursed in his mind, never expecting this misunderstanding to be so ridiculous.

"I don't fucking know."

Jiujo Renji responded in his mind, his tone full of helplessness

"I think I've beaten this bastard into a pulp."

The muzzle of the gun was still firmly against Ishikawa Shunya's temple, and Kujo Renji, who was pressing on the other party, had a complicated expression.

Regardless of whether Ishikawa Shun is really ill or is just trying to deceive him, the top priority now is to control the situation.

Ishikawa Shunya was lying on his back on the ground, still with that almost fanatical smile on his face.

Even with the muzzle of a gun pressed against his temple, the look in his eyes as he looked at the girl was filled with a strange sense of comfort and relief.

"What are you talking about?"

Kujo Renji spoke, his voice steady and cold.

Ishikawa Junya coughed, still smiling:

"Your disguise is good... but it's unnecessary for me. Those movements, those reactions, even the way you draw your gun... no one can teach such tacit understanding."

Toyokawa Shoko's brow furrowed, a wave of confusion forming in her heart. This man didn't seem to be talking nonsense; instead, he seemed to genuinely believe in something.

"Who did he mistake you for?" Toyokawa Shoko asked herself again in her mind.

"The daughter of some important person, probably."

Jiujo Renji answered perfunctorily, with impatience in his tone.

"Don't be distracted, focus on the present moment."

Ishikawa Junya seemed to notice the girl's hesitation, and his eyes became more certain:

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. I will take this secret to my grave. No one will know...about your true identity."

Jiujo Liansi suppressed the confusion in his heart and said coldly:

"I don't know what crazy shit you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure I'm not some 'big boss's daughter'."

As soon as she said this, she could feel the temperature in the air suddenly drop.

Ishikawa Shunya's expression froze slightly, but then he returned to his knowing smile.

"I understand. I won't mention this to anyone else."

His tone was full of respect, as if the conversation just now was just a tacit performance:

"The security of your identity is the most important thing right now."

Damn, this is ridiculous.

Of course, Kujo Renji had no intention of revealing his true identity in front of the other party.

He hasn't fully trusted Ishikawa Shunya yet.

He slowly rose from Ishikawa Shunya, but kept his gun in a guarded position.

She gestured for the other person to stand up, take a few steps back, and keep a safe distance.

Ishikawa Shunya stood up and dusted off his suit, his posture calm and respectful. He adjusted his tie, his eyes never leaving the girl's face, as if he were admiring some precious work of art.

"I think you understand my sincerity."

Ishikawa Shunya spoke in a low and firm voice:

"From now on, all my resources, including myself, will be at your disposal."

As he said this, his eyes were firm and his posture was humble, like a knight swearing allegiance to his monarch.

"He seems to think we are someone's children?"

Toyokawa Shoko carefully speculated in her mind

"The leader of an underground organization?"

Shoko Toyokawa felt absurd for a moment, but she was keenly aware that this might be an opportunity that could be exploited.

This man clearly had considerable resources and a near-religious devotion to her—or rather, to whom he mistook her.

But after a moment, she thought with some doubt

"Is there such a good thing? Is he pretending to be crazy to deceive us?" She hesitated for a moment before asking, "How should we deal with this?"

"Accept his loyalty first, and we'll talk about it later." Kujo Renji answered succinctly.

Kujo Renji looked at Ishikawa Shunya. There was a strange tension in the air. The unconscious Tsuda Seiichi was still lying on the sofa, like a lifeless prop.

"I'll... believe you for now." Kujo Renji finally spoke, with a hint of reluctance in his voice.

He looked around the mess in the apartment - overturned furniture, broken lamps, bullet holes in the wall, and scars on Seiichi Tsuda's body, each of which was potential evidence.

"Clean this place up first."

Kujo Renji ordered, his voice calm and unquestionable: "Nothing happened tonight."

Ishikawa Shunya's eyes flashed with admiration: "You are indeed thoughtful and cautious, just like that person..."

"Shut up."

Before he could finish his words, Jiujo Renji interrupted him coldly, a trace of anger flashing in his amber eyes:

"Stop bringing up those idle speculations."

Ishikawa Shunya's expression froze instantly, and then he lowered his head deeply: "Yes, my rudeness."

He immediately took out his cell phone and quickly made several calls, short and intensive instructions coming out of his mouth.

In less than twenty minutes, three men in suits quietly appeared at the door of the apartment, carrying various tools and equipment.

Renji Kujo stood quietly on the balcony, looking at the night view of Tokyo, allowing Shunya Ishikawa to direct his men to carry out professional "on-site cleanup".

Toyokawa Shoko whispered in her mind:

"They're really professional... Have they done this kind of thing many times?"

"certainly."

Jiujo Renji answered in his heart, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone

"This is the specialty of the underworld."

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a while, then asked:

"Are you really planning on taking advantage of this misunderstanding? Pretending to be... someone's daughter?"

Kujo Renji didn't answer immediately. The lights of the tall buildings in the distance were dim in the rain, just like his complicated mood at the moment.

An hour later, the apartment was restored to its original state - a new floor lamp replaced the broken one, and all surveillance was eliminated, including the surveillance in the building's elevator.

Ishikawa Shunya's men worked with astonishing efficiency and their movements were eerily skillful.

Finally, the still unconscious Seiichi Tsuda was carefully carried away by two men.

Ishikawa Shunya signaled his men to leave first, and he stayed until the end.

He took out a black business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it respectfully to Kujo Renji with both hands.

"This is my personal contact information, direct line, available 24 hours a day."

He lowered his head and said, his voice full of respect: "Whatever you need, you can always contact me."

Kujo Renji took the business card and put it in his pocket without even looking at it.

"besides..."

Ishikawa Junye hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Can I... take you back personally? Considering safety factors..."

Jiujo Renji glanced at him and said, "No need."

This was a harsh remark, but Ishikawa Shunya didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he seemed to feel strangely familiar and at ease with this attitude. He nodded respectfully:

"Yes, please take care."

Ishikawa Shunya took a few steps back, bowed deeply, and then turned and left.

The moment the door closed, Director Kujo Renji breathed a sigh of relief and his body relaxed slightly.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, took out Ishikawa Shunya's business card and looked at it carefully under the light.

This is an extremely simple business card with only a name and a phone number, without any company or position information.

But behind such an ordinary business card lies the vast resource network of the entire Canglong Society.

"Have we... gotten into some serious trouble?"

Toyokawa Shoko's voice sounded in his mind, with a hint of uneasiness.

Kujo Renji sighed. "Trouble? I thought so before I came here, but now I'm not sure."

In fact, his attitude towards Ishikawa Shunya is also due to this reason.

After experiencing betrayal, he couldn't easily trust his former "teammates" again.

Who knows if Ishikawa Shunya is pretending?

"I feel like they are more dangerous than Yamamoto." Shoko Toyokawa was still worried.

Kujo Renji put the business card into his pocket, stood up and walked towards the bedroom:

"Don't worry, I know how they operate better than anyone."

This sentence made Toyokawa Shoko even more confused, but she did not continue to ask.

Tonight's events had been complicated enough, and she needed time to process it all.

Shoko Toyokawa recalled every detail of tonight.

First of all, Ishikawa Shunya was convinced that she had a relationship with the "boss", and this conviction seemed to be based on her words and actions - those fighting techniques that she was not familiar with, and those underworld knowledge that she did not understand.

"These are not my abilities..." she realized, "but come from..."

Her thoughts suddenly stopped.

These abilities and knowledge all came from another consciousness—the one that shared her body...

Combined with the fact that the other party avoided talking about his past, as well as his understanding of underworld affairs, the inside story he knew, his style of doing things, his methods, and his skills.

The more she thought about it, the more evidence emerged into her consciousness.

Even Ishikawa Shun's sudden attack on her seemed to be some kind of test rather than real hostility.

His words "She is worthy of being the eldest brother's daughter" and his subsequent actions all showed that he believed she inherited someone's abilities and temperament.

——Could this boss be Kujo?

Thinking of this, she recalled Kujo Renji's reaction just now.

It wasn't just anger, it was more like...

Angry out of shame?

Outside the window, the rain gradually subsided, but the night in Tokyo was still dark.

After coming to this conclusion, Shoko Toyokawa did not feel fear... Logically speaking, she should be afraid that the person occupying her body is actually a gangster boss.

But she didn't.

On the contrary, the feeling that emerged in my heart was more like...relaxation?

There was also a little bit of joy after mastering the secret of "Jiu Tiao".

Combined with the "story" mentioned earlier by Jiu Tiao.

A bold and complete story gradually took shape in her mind.
