Urban Most Awesome Dad

Chapter 567: Chapter 567: The Theory of Gangs_1 Chapter 567: Chapter 567: The Theory of Gangs_1 Despite Xu Qiyin’s introduction, Li Luyuan still showed him some respect, smiling as he greeted Oda Chihide.

Wang Renzhong, however, kept a straight face.

Though not showing dislike, his attitude was so cold it was written all over his face.

The reason for Wang Renzhong’s expression was not directed at Oda Chihide; he simply loathed people from the Island Country.

Aside from Cultivation, he particularly enjoyed watching anti-island country war dramas, and the more he watched, the more he despised the islanders, wishing he had been born in that era to take them down like chopping vegetables.

Oda Chihide seemed to notice this but didn’t take it to heart.

Soon, the three of them were seated in a high-end restaurant in the city center.

After ordering, they got down to business.

“Mr.

Xu, did you come to Dongjing for travel or for business?” Oda Chihide asked straightforwardly.

“Ah…

just mentioning it gives me a headache,” Xu Qiyin rubbed his forehead and lamented with a sigh, “Family disgrace, an ugly incident has happened…”
“Oh?

What happened?

If it’s convenient to tell me, and if I can help, I will do my best!” Oda Chihide immediately perked up.

“How should I put it?”
Xu Qiyin thought for a moment and worded carefully, “A few days ago, my father took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance to the Qin Family, and they agreed.

Now, the Qin Family’s suitor is about to return to Yanjing to see the girl, and if he likes her, they will immediately get engaged.

But then, the girl, my sister, she ran away.”
“So, I must bring my sister back within three days, or else the Xu Family will not only fail to account to the Qin Family, but we will also be ridiculed by other families, a great loss of face indeed.”
“Such a thing happened?”
“Could it be that your sister has run away to Dongjing?” Oda Chihide understood immediately, but he no longer brought up the offer to help.

Because his father had said that in such a situation, one must never offer assistance proactively; firstly, it lowers your value, and secondly, you might end up working for nothing.

If the other party asks for help, you have the choice to agree or refuse, which leaves room for retreat.

If you agree, it also appears more gracious.

As Oda Hironobu’s only son, the entire Oda Family would eventually fall into Oda Chihide’s hands.

So, naturally, he had to tutor him in everything he needed to know, to make Oda Chihide into a competent successor as early as possible.

Although Oda Chihide wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, having been influenced by his father over a long time, he was skilled at understanding the basics of these situations.

A hint of surprise flickered in Xu Qiyin’s eyes, and he continued, “You guessed right, Chihide.

My sister took the eight o’clock flight this morning; she has not long landed, and she must still be in Dongjing City.”
Right after, Xu Qiyin, with a smile in his eyes, gave Oda Chihide a thumbs up and flattered him, “The Oda Family is a top-tier clan in the Island Country, flourishing like the midday sun.

That’s why the first person I thought to ask for help was you, Chihide.”
Having finished, Xu Qiyin stood up with a light chuckle and poured wine for Oda Chihide.

Oda Chihide accepted it naturally, his eyes narrowing into slits, and he said at ease, “You’re absolutely right, Mr.

Xu.

However, even if the Oda clan is strong, we must face reality.

Dongjing is after all an internationally renowned metropolis with as many as thirty-eight million people; it’s truly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even if you and I hit it off at first sight, and I wish to help, it’s beyond my ability.

Mr.

Xu, I think that the police are the ones who are better equipped to handle such matters.”
Xu Qiyin mentally cursed, thinking how he had flattered him to his face, and now Oda Chihide was dodging the request.

But when seeking help, one must still lower their head when necessary.

Xu Qiyin kept up the flattery with a smile, “As everyone knows, your family’s influence is the most substantial in your country.

If your family can’t do anything, then other families or the police are even less likely to manage.

I’d like to ask for your assistance, Brother Chihide.

Regardless of the outcome, the Xu Family will always remember this favor.”
After saying this, Xu Qiyin raised his glass with both hands and toasted to Oda Chihide.

The latter smiled indifferently, raised his glass too, and moved it forward with a light clink, drank up, and could not help but exchange a smile with Xu Qiyin.

In that moment, Oda Chihide remembered the affair in Zhonghai, where under Xu Fan’s coercion, he betrayed Xu Qiyin’s hiding in the restrooms.

This matter…

Xu Qiyin naturally harbored resentment against himself.

But the times are more powerful than people, and Xu Qiyin not only refrained from taking revenge, but now he even had to swallow his pride and flatter me with praise, which must be quite uncomfortable for him.

But hasn’t it always been this way since ancient times?

Those who seek help occupy a lower position!

Oda Chihide couldn’t help but feel a bit smug inside, his self-esteem immensely satisfied.

He rhythmically tapped his fingers on the tabletop, a smug smile appeared on his lips, and after a light chuckle, he said with a nonchalant air:
“Mr.

Xu, since you’ve put it this way, as a friend, of course I want to help you.

So, send me your sister’s identity information and physical characteristics, and I will do my best.

As long as your sister is still in Dongjing City, by this time tomorrow, I will make sure she is delivered into Mr.

Xu’s hands.”
“Haha…

With Chihide-san’s involvement, success is certain.

Thank you for your trouble!” Xu Qiyin, showing a look of joy, quickly said with a clasped hand gesture.

“Haha, Mr.

Xu, you are too kind!” Oda Chihide waved his hand, feeling even more pleased with himself.

This matter was but a trivial effort for him, but its effect was profound, enabling the Oda Family and the Xu Family, two behemoths from their respective countries, to begin formal exchanges.

How far off then, was future cooperation?

In short, the more friends you have, the more pathways you have, and having more powerful friends yields even greater profits.

“My sister Xu Yue, just turned 21,” Xu Qiyin said as he sent over Xu Yue’s personal information.

When Oda Chihide saw the photo of Xu Yue, his eyes glued to the screen, he licked his lips subconsciously, his fingers caressing the photo on the screen as he sincerely admired, “Mr.

Xu, the beauty of your sister is so astonishing that I’m amazed by just one glance.”
Seeing his reaction, Xu Qiyin immediately felt uncomfortable.

Despite his incompatibility with Xu Yue, after all, they were both from the Xu Family, and it was unpleasant for anyone to have their cousin disparaged in their presence.

But at this moment, having to ask for help, no matter how unpleasant he felt, he had to endure it, forcing himself to laugh awkwardly.

“Mr.

Xu, I have arranged everything to search for your sister.

Please, wait a moment,” Oda Chihide said, having tapped on the screen for quite some time.

“Many thanks!”
“No need to mention it!”
“Brother Chihide, if I may ask one more question,” Xu Qiyin, knowing the gravity of the matter, did not dare to be careless.

It was his first time asking Oda Chihide for help, and he was somewhat uneasy, so he couldn’t help but inquire, “May I ask what methods you are using to search for my sister?”
“You ask a good question, Mr.

Xu.

Ɲ0νǤ0.ƈο

Haha, let me tell you, I have made use of the power of the underworld.

Don’t worry, the underworld in the Island Country is legal!” laughed Oda Chihide.

“Uh…” Xu Qiyin’s face fell slightly.

Underworld forces searching for someone?

That didn’t seem very reliable.

“Looking at Mr.

Xu’s reaction, it seems that you do not have much confidence in our country’s underworld, perhaps because you don’t know much about it,” Oda Chihide chuckled.

“You are right, Brother Chihide.

I only know that your country has countless underworld groups, more than three thousand in number, and the largest in terms of membership are the Inagawa-kai, Sumiyoshi-kai, and Yamaguchi-gumi.

Could it be that you have entrusted these three major syndicates for help?”
“Hehe…

not entirely.”
Oda Chihide laughed and said, “The Yamaguchi-gumi’s influence in Dongjing City isn’t that substantial, seeking their help would be better than nothing, so there’s no need to trouble them.

However, both Inagawa-kai and Sumiyoshi-kai have their headquarters set up in Dongjing.

They are the most populous here, with a formal membership of twenty thousand.

The various associations under the two major syndicates include a vast number of peripheral members.

These people are spread out in every corner of Dongjing, and they have all sorts of identities, constituting a very complete intelligence network.

Even the Dongjing police rely on their assistance to provide clues for solving cases.”
Immediately, he smiled proudly, puffing out his chest and said, “Not to hide from you, Mr.

Xu, the leader of Sumiyoshi-kai is my father’s sworn son.

And the leader of Inagawa-kai visits my family at the beginning of every month.

I’m sure Mr.

Xu understands what I mean by that.”
“Haha…

I understand, I completely understand!” Xu Qiyin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, expressing his delight.
