Neither Ryoto Matsumoto nor Machi Takahashi could figure out what happened in Kyoto.
However, Matsumoto Ryouto is far smarter than Takahashi Machi.
When he couldn't contact Iga Jonin, even though he couldn't figure out why, he subconsciously realized that something was probably going to go terribly wrong.
When he thought of this, he immediately called other members of the Iga family. As soon as the call came through, he immediately asked them about the situation of the Iga jounin.
But the people of the Iga family also knew nothing about what was happening in Kyoto.
They also couldn't contact Iga Jonin and didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
At this time, Matsumoto Ryoto was really panicked.
He paced nervously back and forth in the living room at home, his brows furrowed all the time, and even the hand holding the cigar was trembling uncontrollably.
His younger brother Matsumoto Ryosuke saw that he was extremely nervous and hurriedly comforted him: "Brother, don't panic yet. If you panic, we really don't know how to deal with it next!"
Unlike Takahashi Machi, Takahashi Machi's target is Ito Nanako and has nothing to do with the Su family, so it doesn't matter even if his motives are exposed.
The strength of the two families is basically evenly matched, so he is not afraid of Takehiko Ito.
However, Ryōto Matsumoto knew very well that if his motives were revealed, he would not only have to face the behemoth Su family, but also the Ito family and the Takahashi family.
So, he took a puff of his cigar and said to Matsumoto Ryosuke: "The card I played almost put all our chips on it. If I win, the Matsumoto family can become the top in Japan; if I lose,
, the Matsumoto family will be ravaged to death by the three big families, the Su family, the Ito family and the Takahashi family!"
As he spoke, he couldn't hide his nervousness and said: "Right now, Iga jounin can't be contacted, and Su Zhifei and Su Zhiyu don't know whether they are alive or dead. I don't know yet whether our motives have been exposed. If they haven't been exposed, it doesn't matter."
, at best, the plan to frame Takehiko Ito is in vain, but if it is exposed, then we will basically have no way to survive."
Matsumoto Ryosuke hurriedly asked: "Brother! We don't know if we have been exposed now, so are we just waiting here for the verdict? That would be too passive, right? Even if we are bound to die, we must find a way to struggle and resist.
Never give up just like that!”
Matsumoto thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Of course we have to resist! Since we don't know whether we will live or die on the first hand, let's bet on the second hand!"
Matsumoto Ryosuke asked: "Brother, how do you bet on the second hand?"
Matsumoto Ryoto said sinisterly: "I bet our motives against the Su family have not been exposed yet! In this way, we will go all out to kill Takahashi Machichi and Ito Takehiko first! Kill them, and we will have a chance to become
No. 1 in Japan!”
"Ah? Kill them both?" Matsumoto Ryosuke asked in surprise: "Shouldn't we find a way to deal with the Su family?"
Matsumoto Ryouto shook his head: "It is wishful thinking to deal with the Su family. With their strength, as long as they target us, we have no power to resist."
Saying that, Matsumoto Yoshito added: "However, Takahashi Machi must be at his weakest now. He has killed several ninjas and lost his son. Now is a good time to kill him! Let the Iga family continue
Send a few ninjas to kill him! Anyway, the Iga ninjas are already on the same boat with us now!"
Matsumoto Ryosuke asked again: "What about Takehiko Ito? How to kill him? He doesn't seem to have lost much strength!"
Ryoto Matsumoto gritted his teeth and said: "Then we can only outwit him! He kidnapped the families of several police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and then forced these police officers to come to the house. He asked Takehiko Ito to return to the Metropolitan Police Department to assist in the investigation of the Su family brothers and sisters.
Regarding the disappearance, as long as he leaves home, we will have a chance to take action!"
Matsumoto Ryosuke continued to ask: "Brother, what if the Su family knows about us?"
Ryoto Matsumoto said with a sinister expression: "If they really knew, they would be dead no matter what, then why not drag Takahashi Machichi and Ito Takehiko into the water?"
"Okay!" Matsumoto Ryosuke said with a ferocious expression: "Even if we die, there will be someone to die with us! Anyway, we won't lose even if we win or lose!"
...
At this moment.
After Ye Chen set fire to the two-story building, he returned to the Ito family's mansion.
He entered Nanako Ito's courtyard via the original route.
At this time, Nanako Ito was sitting in front of the tea table, eyes slightly closed, gently twisting a string of Bodhi beads with both hands, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures, and praying for Ye Chen.
Buddhism is not only popular in China, it has also been popular in Japan for a long time. Ever since Master Jianzhen came to Japan, Buddhism in Japan has developed rapidly.
Although there are some differences between the two countries' Buddhism, there is almost no essential difference between believers in the two countries when it comes to chanting sutras and praying.
After thinking silently for a long time, the incense in the incense burner had burned to ashes, and she felt the fragrance dissipate. When she opened her eyes and wanted to light another plate, she found that Ye Chen was already sitting opposite her.
Ito Nanako was frightened, covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Ye Chenjun, you...when did you come back?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Just now, five seconds ago."
"Ah?" Ito Nanako said in disbelief: "Why didn't you notice any movement?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Because I think you seem to be chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name, so I don't want to disturb you."
Ito Nanako blushed and said softly: "Nanako was praying for Ye Chenjun just now, hoping that the gods would bless Ye Chenjun for his safe return..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Thank you!"
Ito Nanako smiled unnaturally and said: "Ye Chen-kun, you saved my life, why do you need to thank me for such a small thing..."
Ye Chen said seriously: "I saved you out of my heart, and you praying for me are also out of your heart. Everyone's starting point is the same, so naturally it doesn't matter how big or small."
Nanako Ito couldn't help but sigh: "Ye Chen-kun, you are really the only gentleman I have ever seen in my life. You always consider others..."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "I'm not much of a gentleman, so don't praise me randomly."
After saying that, Ye Chen hurriedly said: "By the way, give me your hand and I will check your injuries."
Nanako Ito asked shyly: "Ye Chen-kun, do you want to take my pulse?"
"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said, "Don't you want to go for a walk in the snow? I'll help you heal your injury quickly. Let's go for a walk on the snow in the yard. If you're not satisfied,
I’ll take you outside for a walk!”
"Ah?!" Ito Nanako asked dumbfounded: "Ye Chenjun, you mean you can cure my injury soon? Before the snow melts?"
Ye Chen said seriously: "You don't need to wait for the snow to melt. Just cooperate with me and we can go for a walk in the snow together before the snow stops."
