The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7032

The police chief was worried that Tawanna might be upset and share the details on social media. If she did, the situation could attract international attention, making it impossible to keep it under wraps.

Tawanna remained calm and nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, Mr. Director. I won’t say anything about this to anyone. Just please don’t involve me in how you handle things from here on out. If anyone tries to drag me into it, I will make sure everyone knows what happened today.”

“Don’t worry,” the police chief replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “We have already arrested the leaders of the Inagawa Club and the Yamaguchi Group. We won’t bring this case up during the interrogation. If this gets out, everyone involved in today’s assassination will face severe penalties, starting with at least twenty years in prison!”

Mitsui Yoshitaka chimed in angrily, “Where is that jerk Nishida Yuhiro now? I told him not to go against the Mitsui family! He dared to defy me, and now I need to take him out!”

The police chief quickly reassured him, “Don’t worry. We have Nishida and Takaoka Machichi from the Inagawa Society under our control. Once they’re in, they won’t get out for life!”

“That’s too easy for them!” Mitsui Yoshitaka protested. “Both are gang leaders. Going to prison is like going to a palace for them! Inside, they will be surrounded by their followers, and they’ll just enjoy their time there!”

The police chief sighed, “I understand, but there’s not much we can do. Their influence in society is strong, and according to tradition…”

In the world they lived in, when someone like the boss went to prison, everyone was expected to show them respect.

“No, I won’t accept this!” Mitsui Yoshitaka said through gritted teeth. “These two people didn’t even come here today. They don’t take the Mitsui family seriously. If I don’t make them pay, how will anyone respect us in the future?”

The police director shifted uncomfortably. “Mr. Mitsui, they’ve been arrested by the special police. With so many officers involved, they have to go through the legal process. There’s nothing I can do…”

Mitsui Yoshitaka was furious. “Then bring them here! Let me beat them up to let off some steam! I’ve never been treated with such disrespect in my entire life!”

The police chief hesitated. “Well… there is a process for detention. If they come back with injuries, we have to report it. Sure, you could beat them, but then I would be in trouble too. If people find out you took someone from the police and hurt them, they’ll say you’re breaking the law. It would be hard for you to handle that…”

Hearing this, Mitsui Yoshitaka grew quiet and muttered to himself, “I can’t kill them, I can’t beat them, and even if I go to prison, I won’t feel better. I’ll be stuck in this mood forever…”

Charlie Wade, who had been listening nearby, felt a headache coming on. He thought about introducing his mother-in-law, Ma Lan, to him. “Mr. Mitsui,” he said, “you’re the head of the family. Don’t worry about these small matters. They’re going to jail. Focus on your own well-being.”

The future relies on how much pressure you put on your successor. If you make it hard for them to sleep and eat, and cause the Yamaguchi-gumi’s businesses to struggle, your successor will have a better life. You might even have the power to eliminate your former boss if necessary, so why not resolve things with some clever tactics?

Charlie Wade’s words suddenly clicked for Mitsui Yoshitaka. The reason was simple, yet he hadn’t realized it before. The respect gangsters receive in prison isn’t based on their status before entering, but rather on their remaining influence once they’re inside.

Once they’re in prison, as long as they apply enough pressure on the new leaders, they can even arrange for an assassination of the former boss. Making Nishida Yuhiro and Takaoka Makoto’s lives miserable would be easy.

With this understanding, Mitsui Yoshitaka felt much lighter. He smiled and said, “Mr. Ye is right. I’ll ignore them for now. Once they are in prison, I’ll have people take care of them slowly!”

Then, he turned to the police chief and said, “Watanabe, the Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa have caused you a lot of trouble this time. You must make them pay!”
