Urban Most Awesome Dad

Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Sold_1 Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Sold_1 The four major families of today, bolstered by their abundant capital and tremendous energy, have already flourished, deeply embedding themselves in various industries.

The complexity of their interpersonal relationships can be described as tangled and deeply rooted.

With their abilities, they could easily protect someone.

This fact also irked Li Fuqiang, but his responsibilities ultimately lay elsewhere, leaving him with good intentions but powerless to act.

Now, the Xu Family and the Qin Family are provoking Xu Fan, yet they remain blissfully unaware, persisting in their arrogant ways – which plays right into his hands, letting Xu Fan startle them into awareness.

Of course, he had other considerations as well.

The current state of the four major families might be sullied, whether infiltrated by the Black Blade Organization or if they had proactively connected with the Black Blade Organization themselves.

In any case, he had already detected these evildoers lurking within the ranks of the four families.

He wanted to use Xu Fan to beat the grass and startle the snake, to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.

After much contemplation, Li Fuqiang finally corralled his myriad thoughts into calmness and chose to tell no one.

…

Chen Zhen’er and Jiang Qianqian didn’t chat long inside Starbucks before Jiang Qianqian invited Chen Zhen’er to her home, praising Yano Shisuke’s culinary skills to the skies and declaring that she must have him cook to properly treat Chen Zhen’er.

Chen Zhen’er happily agreed.

While Chen Zhen’er visited Jiang Qianqian’s home, the gangs outside began a widespread search for someone.

Jiang Qianqian and Yano Shisuke were already living together, in a four-bedroom, two-living room residence located within a high-end neighborhood, designed in a Nordic noble style, highly luxurious.

It seemed that Yano Shisuke’s family was quite wealthy.

The time reached 5:30 p.m.

As the two women watched TV and caught up on old times in the living room, Yano Shisuke was cooking in the kitchen, his phone beside him.

Suddenly, the phone’s screen lit up, and a ticking sound started incessantly.

Yano Shisuke frowned, picked up his phone, and saw that it was a group chat.

He couldn’t help but take a closer look.

“Holy shit, the chairman of Qiujukai, Matsushita Kobasa, has led his entire gang out.”
“Qiujukai is nothing compared to Inagawa-kai and Sumiyoshi-kai.

Haven’t you noticed the streets are full of their people now?”
“I heard Hongmen has joined the search too.

Who the hell is it that’s got so many gangs moving?”
“Inside sources say the target is a young girl from Yan Country.”
“Yeah right, I don’t believe it.”
“Pfft, believe it or not, I’ve seen the photo.

This girl’s identity is very special; she’s very important to the gang leaders.”
“Pics or it didn’t happen.”
“Fine fine fine, I’ll let you all see the photo.

I’m not kidding – this chick is super hot.

I looked at her and thought I’d give up ten years of life for one night.”
Then, that person uploaded a photo.

“Damn, she’s really something…

that beauty, tsk tsk tsk…”
“That little face isn’t even as big as my palm, can I just pinch it whenever I want?”
“Now I get it, she’s so pretty, she must be the daughter or goddaughter of some big shot.”
“…

Ew!”
And then, the group chat turned into a lewd discussion, its content quite offensive.

When Yano Shisuke saw the photo, he was completely stunned.

Even though the name on the photo said Xu Yue, the girl in the picture was none other than Chen Zhen’er, who had been invited over by his girlfriend and was currently chatting in the living room.

Combined with Chen Zhen’er’s escape from her wedding, he became even more certain of her identity.

For a moment, he felt bewildered and worried.

“Qianqian’s friend really does have…

quite a background.”

Now, countless gangs across Dongjing were mobilizing en masse to find Xu Yue, apparently connecting her to an important figure or a significant incident.

Alas…

What to do now?

If the matter of Xu Yue being at his place was discovered, the consequences would likely be severe.

After much thought, Yano Shisuke finally made a decision.

He went to the restroom, locked the door, and made a phone call.

As soon as the call connected, a brash voice came through, “Moshi moshi, who’s this?”
“Big brother Hao Hong, remember me?

I’m Yano Shisuke,” Yano Shisuke spoke softly.

“Shisuke?

I know you,” Hao Hong said impatiently.

“Speak up if you’ve got something to say, I’m busy here.”
“Yes.

I heard that you’ve sent out a large group, Big brother Hao Hong, all to look for a girl from Yanjing?” Yano Shisuke inquired.

“That’s right, it’s an order from above, and we’re searching the whole streets for her.”
Hao Hong changed his tone and asked, “Why the sudden call, lad?

Don’t tell me you’ve found that girl?”
Yano Shisuke hesitated for a few seconds before responding, “Yes.”
“Where did you see her?” Hao Hong asked loudly and eagerly.

As a minor middle-rank member of Sumiyoshi-kai, securing this achievement would surely get him significant recognition.

That could mean takeoff time for him.

However, Yano Shisuke did not reply.

Hao Hong immediately understood that the other party must be angling for a reward and said, “Shisuke, this girl is incredibly important.

If you can help us find her, you’ll definitely get a substantial reward.”
“Big brother Hao Hong, how do I put this…

The girl, Xu Yue, she is a very good friend of my fiancée….” Yano Shisuke stopped there, but the implication was clear.

The girl wasn’t just anyone; she was his fiancée’s friend.

Without a sizable incentive, he wouldn’t be willing to betray her.

“Haha, I understand, Shisuke,” Hao Hong replied.

Hao Hong pondered for a few seconds and continued, “This credit will be yours and mine.

Bring Xu Yue to me, and you will earn the friendship of Sumiyoshi-kai.

You should know that Sumiyoshi-kai always keeps its word and treats friends sincerely.”
Upon hearing this, Yano Shisuke let out a sigh of relief, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

With this promise, should his family face any trouble or want to expand their business in the future, they could rely on Sumiyoshi-kai’s help to resolve any issue smoothly.

This favor was indeed quite lucrative.

“With you saying so, Big brother Hao Hong, I can rest assured,” Yano Shisuke said.

“Come to my place now.

I live in Fuyue Neighborhood, Building 9, Unit 3, Room 302.”
“Alright, I’ll be there immediately.”
Just after he hung up the phone, someone “thumped” on the restroom door, startling Yano Shisuke so badly he almost dropped his phone.

“Shisuke, how much longer will you be?” Jiang Qianqian’s voice came through.

“I’m done, just give me a second,” Yano Shisuke said, then flushed the toilet.

Soon after, Yano Shisuke composed his expression, cracked a slight smile, and stepped out the door.

Jiang Qianqian rolled her eyes and pinched his arm, complaining, “What’s taking you so long in there, man?

Are you constipated or something?”
“Qianqian, my stomach does feel a bit off,” Yano Shisuke explained, then added, “I’ll go back to cooking.”
As he passed by the living room, he couldn’t help but glance at Xu Yue, who politely nodded and smiled at him.

Yano Shisuke felt a flush on his face and his heart rate increase, accompanied by a twinge of guilt.

Almost half an hour later.

The doorbell rang.

Yano Shisuke instantly perked up, hurried out, and said to Jiang Qianqian as she got up, “I’ll get the door.”
