The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7025

The police director looked at the two men and said in a cold voice, “I will give you 10 seconds to call out all your people! Everyone around you must drop their weapons. Stop resisting, raise your hands, and come out one by one. Anyone who tries to fight back or poses a threat to our special police will be shot on the spot!”

Nishida Yuhiro quickly replied, “Director Watanabe, my people can surrender anytime. Honestly, I’ve realized my actions were wrong and I don’t want to bring shame to our great Japan. I stopped my men before I saw the American woman. I already told them to leave immediately.”

Then, he glared at Takaoka Machi and shouted angrily, “My men called me and said it was Takaoka Machi who blocked their escape and wouldn’t let them leave! If anything happens tonight that embarrasses Japan, it will be Takaoka Machi’s fault!”

“You’re lying!” Takaoka Machi shot back, equally furious. He knew what was happening from his own men, so he quickly responded, “Your people were the first to attack the American woman, and you probably succeeded in the assassination! You just want to escape, but my men stopped you because they wanted to hold your gang of criminals until the police arrived! It’s the right thing to do!”

“You… you…” Nishida Yuhiro couldn’t believe Takaoka Machi could be so shameless. He had come to take what was hidden, but now he claimed he was doing the right thing. Trembling with anger, Nishida shouted, “Do you really believe that?”

“Can anyone believe this? You shameless coward! When did you, Daochuan, ever care about social responsibility? The lives lost tonight are on your hands, the Inagawa Society! This violence could have been avoided, but you, the greedy fool, pushed them to it! My men killed them all! That’s why we’ve been stuck in this deadlock! If it weren’t for you, Director Watanabe wouldn’t have come here personally!”

“Baga!” Takaoka Machi shouted back, clearly upset. “You’re just talking nonsense! You’re lying!”

The two men argued fiercely, their faces flushed with anger. The police chief, fed up with their bickering, stepped in. He slapped Takaoka Machi, then turned and slapped Nishida Yuhiro. “Enough, both of you!” he yelled. “You share equal blame for what happened today. No one is getting away from this! I just learned there are over a hundred casualties tonight. As the leaders of these gangs, you are both responsible. You’ll face the maximum penalty short of death—life in prison! And I can request that you be assigned to the same prison, even the same cell. You can argue for the rest of your lives!”

Hearing that there were over a hundred casualties and that they could both be sentenced to life in prison filled them with dread. Their faces turned pale, and they slumped in despair.

For years, they had not been involved in the gang’s daily operations. Their subordinates handled everything. Even when trouble arose and legal consequences loomed, it was always the younger members who faced the punishment. As bosses, they had managed to avoid the law.

danger?

Takaoka Machichi quickly tried to defend himself, saying, “Director Watanabe, this has nothing to do with me. It was all my subordinate, Vice President Itagaki’s idea. You should arrest him instead!”

Nishida Yuhiro jumped in, “Yes! It was my subordinate Matsushima who did it! If you need someone to blame, it should be him, not me!”

The police chief replied coldly, “Don’t worry, it’s not just you who will be arrested. If this is as serious as it seems, many high-ranking officials from both sides will be going down with you.”

Just then, a desperate voice cried out, “Director Watanabe, what’s happening with my brother and niece? I need to see them!”

Everyone turned to see Mitsui Yoshiyasu from the Mitsui family, rushing towards them in a panic.

Takaoka Machichi and Nishida Yuhiro exchanged worried glances, both sensing the same fear in each other’s eyes.

What did this mean?

If Mitsui Yoshiyasu was worried about his brother, Mitsui Yoshitaka, who ran the Mitsui family, did that mean he was involved too? And what about his daughter, Mitsui Shinmei? Was she in trouble as well?

“Maybe both of them are dead?”

This felt like a blow to the heart, as if Japan’s sky had shattered.

At that moment, the police chief’s words plunged them into despair.

He sighed and turned to Mitsui Yoshiyasu, who rushed over with a look of shame on his face. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Mitsui. We have received confirmed news that your eldest brother and niece have been killed.”
