No matter how much he treasured Mengâer, no matter how much he could not bear to part with her, Mengâer would eventually get married and become someone elseâs family. Bullsh*t!
Just as Skinny was about to speak, Elder Liu interrupted him and said to Chen Mengâer, âGirl, can you not get married in the future?â
âHuh?â Chen Mengâer and Skinny were shocked by Elder Liuâs words. One of them could not help but open his mouth slightly, while the other almost spat out the food in her mouth.
âSir, what do you mean by that? Donât tell me you want Little Miss to be an old spinster for the rest of her life?â After Skinny heard his bossâs words, he had long forgotten his purpose of coming here excitedly.
âWhatever!â Elder Liu gave Skinny a fierce glare.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Skinny felt wronged and didnât dare to speak.
âI want to find a husband for Mengâer. What are you thinking?â Elder Liu glared at Skinny who obviously had a misconception.
âOh, is that so? Sir, your idea is good.â When Skinny heard Elder Liuâs words, his eyes were full of mirth.
âRight? I also think my idea is good. It seems that I can start to find a partner for Mengâer earlier.â Elder Liu, who received Skinnyâs agreement, instantly became complacent.
On the other hand, frown lines appeared on Chen Mengâerâs forehead. She clearly wasnât old enough for such things!
However, Chen Mengâer wouldnât say this out loud.
She didnât want to continue this topic forever. Chen Mengâer wisely chose to change the topic. âUncle Skinny, what good news do you have?â
âOh, look at my brain.â Skinny patted his forehead and put on an excited expression, he said, âI just received news that Yamaguchi Yuanâs lawyer is fighting with the government over the ownership of the Yamaguchi-gumi. The government wants to take over the Yamaguchi-gumi and appoint Watanabe as the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi. However, Yamaguchi Takagi left a will for his grandson Yamaguchi Naoya to inherit his position. The Yamaguchi-gumi is now divided into three groups. Some support Yamaguchi Takagiâs will, some support Watanabe, and some support Yamaguchi Naoya. In any case, the Yamaguchi-gumi is like a plate of loose sand now. Itâs a mess.â
Chen Mengâer and Elder Liu had already expected such a situation after Yamaguchi Takagiâs death. However, they didnât expect the battle to begin so soon.
âWho do you think will emerge the winner?â
âI think you already know, Grandpa.â Chen Mengâer covered her mouth and said with a smile.
Chen Mengâer and Elder Liu looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding. However, this made Skinny puzzled. âSir, Little Miss, why canât I understand what youâre saying? What kind of riddles are you playing?â
âWeâre not playing riddles. Itâs just that you havenât thought things through properly.â Elder Liu said as he glanced at Skinny.
Chen Mengâer looked at Skinny with a confused expression, she kindly explained to Skinny, âActually, no matter who wins this battle, the Yamaguchi-gumi will definitely suffer a great loss. And who will benefit the most from the loss of the Yamaguchi-gumiâs vitality?â Chen Mengâer asked in return.
When Skinny heard Chen Mengâerâs words, he came to a sudden realization. âIs that so?â
In fact, the final winner was not any of the three parties. Instead, it was the Green Gang, who had always been at odds with the Yamaguchi-gumi. The officials of the Japanese government were also aware of this. However, it was inevitable that they wanted to take down the Yamaguchi-gumi.
âUncle Skinny, you still have more good news, right?â Chen Mengâer asked confidently.
âHey, Little Miss, how did you know?â It was unknown whether it was because he slept too late last night or because he smoked too much, but Skinnyâs reaction today was slower than usual.
âIâm clairvoyant.â Chen Mengâer was in a good mood and joked with Skinny.
âHehe.â Skinny giggled foolishly.
âDonât just laugh. Hurry up and get down to business.â Elder Liu shook his head.
âOh, and the current head of the Hongbei family, Hongbei Liang, suddenly fell ill last night. Heâs lying in bed, unconscious. Therefore, the Hongbei family held an emergency meeting early this morning. The Hongbei familyâs Council of Elders decided that the Hongbei familyâs second son, Hongbei Ye, would be the temporary head of the family.â Skinny told them the news. Then, Skinny couldnât help but ask, âHowever, in the information we received... There was no mention of the status of Hongbei Liangâs two sons, Hongbei Yongye and Hongbei Yuanye. There was also no mention of their Hongbei familyâs ninja secret manual.â
After hearing Skinnyâs words, Chen Mengâer didnât answer him. Instead, she said, âSo it was the second brother who plotted against Hongbei Liang.â
