  The second update is here, seeking collection, recommendation votes, and member clicks... thank you!

  ……

  "Mr. Nakajima, is there a person named Lü Dong who went to your place?" Lü Hòujī asked as soon as the phone was answered.

  "Haha, Mr. Lü Houji, I really have to thank you." Nakajima Kitayama downed the wine in his hand and said: "Mr. Lü Dong is not only powerful, but also knows how to draw talismans. He's absolutely a talent that your Lü family can't afford to lose. Mr. Lü Dong's excellence makes me want to pull him into our camp."

  "Is Lü Dong with you now?" Lü Houji hesitated for a moment, his face looking unpleasant as he spoke.

  "No." Kitajima Kitao shook his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Lü Dong and the Eleventh Master have left the villa to kill Chen Qingdi's bodyguard. The reason why our last operation failed was because Chen Qingdi had a strong bodyguard. Once we've killed Chen Qingdi's bodyguard, Chen Qingdi will definitely die."

  "Go kill Chen Qingdi's bodyguard?" Lü Houji took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Nakajima, contact your people as soon as possible and have them come back. This is a scam."

  "Scam?" Kitajima asked with a puzzled face: "What scam? Mr. Lü said that he and Eleven could kill Chen Qingdi's bodyguard together, how did it become a scam?"

  "Lü Dong is already dead, he was killed a day ago. We just found Lü Dong's body a minute ago." Lü Hou said solemnly: "The Lü Dong you saw was an imposter. As for the specific situation, it's best to ask Ijima Zanju about it."

  Lü Hòujī was furious about this, constantly scolding Nakajima Hokuto in his heart. You guys are stupid, so be stupid then! It's because of you that I got scolded by the young master Bùfán.

  What's wrong with me? How did I end up offending these idiots?

  "Fake? Lü Dong is already dead? Found the body? How could this be?" Nakajima Kitao's whole body trembled suddenly, knowing he had been deceived.

  After hanging up the phone, Kitajima rushed into Inoue's room and said with a gloomy face: "Inoue-kun, what's going on?"

  "What's going on?" Ikegami Kizuki's heart skipped a beat, but his face was filled with puzzlement, as if he didn't know what was happening.

  "What's the story with that Mr. Lü Dong you brought?" Nakajima Kitayama glared at Inoue Zanju and said, "Lü Houji just called and said he found Lü Dong's body, and it was already dead a day ago. Inoue-san, you'd better give me an explanation."

  "Nakajima young master, I...!" Inoue's face changed greatly, he knew that things had been exposed. With a thud, he directly knelt on the ground and said repeatedly: "Nakajima young master, I...I was forced to do this. I was poisoned by that person, he forced me to do this."

  "Poisoned?" Zhongdao Beiguan let out a cold hum and said, "What's going on exactly? Who is that imposter pretending to be Lü Dong?"

  "I don't know who he is, but he must be one of Chen Qingdi's men. It's very likely... it's very likely that he's Chen Qingdi's bodyguard." Inoue Zanju's whole body went limp, and he begged: "Nakajima young master, I was wrong to you, it was my fault. I... I was forced into it."

  "Nakajima-kun, what's going on? Is that Ryū Tō a fake?" At this, the black-clad men twelve and thirteen rushed over quickly, their faces also becoming unsightly.

  It turns out that Black-clothed Eleven went out with Lü Dong to take down Chen Qing Emperor's bodyguard. More importantly, given Lü Dong's strength, Black-clothed Eleven wasn't even a match for him.

  "Ask Iemoto Kojū." Kitajima Hokutō, with a cold face, said in a cold voice: "Iemoto Kojū, I have not been unkind to you. How can you treat me like this? Now tell me what happened."

  "Just yesterday, I went to see Lv Houji and Lv Bohua, the two brothers, then... " Inosuke Ikeda, pale as a ghost, told the truth about how Chen Qingdi had threatened him."

  "Nakajima young master, you might as well kill me. Even if you don't kill me, I've been poisoned and there's no cure." Inoue Zankuro knew that once the truth came out, even if Nakajima Hokuto didn't kill him, he would still be dead for sure.

  You should know that Lü Dong has already said it, the poison he was poisoned with can only be solved by Lü Dong.

  "Poisoned? Let me see." The man in black, number twelve, came to the front of Inoue's remaining men, grabbed his wrist, and after a moment, sneered, saying: "Inoue-san, I think it's not poisoning, but rather you've been bought out by the Chen family from within?"

  "Your meaning is... I wasn't poisoned?" Seeing the black-clothed man nod twelve times, Inoue's face became even more unsightly, and he directly jumped up from the ground, loudly cursing: "Damn it, Lü Dong... I'll curse your whole family, how dare you deceive me, how dare you deceive me..."

  Inoue wanted to scold Chen Qingdi, but he found out that he didn't even know Chen Qingdi's name.

  "You really thought you were poisoned, so in desperation, you cooperated with that fake Ryō Tō?" Kita no Jō felt that Inoue Sanemori wasn't lying, and considering their past relationship, he asked: "Inoue-kun, is it true or not?"

  "Yes, I was poisoned, that's why...I didn't think he would deceive me." Inoue Zanju looked ashamed and dared not look at Nakajima Hokuto.

  "Nakajima's northern pole, how to deal with him, we don't care, now we need to go save Eleven, Eleven is in danger." The black-clothed Twelve glared at Ikuo Nakashima fiercely and said: "If Eleven dies, I will definitely kill you."

  "Wait a minute..." Inoue jumped up from the ground in a hurry and said: "You can't go."

  "What? At this time, you still want to help that despicable person?" Hei Yiren's killing intent surged, and if not for the sake of Zhong Dao Bei's face, he would have already killed Inoue San with one slash.

  "Twelve, don't be impatient, let Inoue-san finish speaking." Nakajima Hokuto, who knew Inoue Sanju well, patted the shoulder of Twelve, dressed in black, and said to Inoue Sanju: "Inoue-san, what do you want to say?"

  "I know, I made an unforgivable mistake. However, you can't go now. Even if you did, it's already been so long... eleven years have passed..." Ikeda took a deep breath and said: "You guys know that Ryō Tō is fake, but he doesn't know."

  "What do you mean?" Nakajima Kitabatake asked repeatedly.

  Inoue Sanemori was the military strategist of Nakajima Hokuzan, and he was able to climb to his current position entirely thanks to Inoue Sanemori's planning. Without Inoue Sanemori, Nakajima Hokuzan would not have been able to rise so high.

  So Nakajima Kitabatake still has great faith in Inoue Shunzui's wisdom.

  "We can't save Eleven now, and we definitely can't alert him that we know he's an imposter, Lu Dong." Jiong took a deep breath and said, "In that case, after he kills Eleven, he'll surely kill us next."

  As they spoke, Yoshioka's gaze fell on Kuroko 12 and 13.

  It is obvious that only these two people can threaten 'Lü Dong', as for others, Lü Dong doesn't even take them seriously.

  "We know he's coming to kill us, but he doesn't know we already know." Inoue smiled wryly and said, "So let's pretend we don't know anything and don't need to be on guard. As long as we know in our hearts, that's enough. When he gets here, we'll turn the tables on him and join forces to cut him down."

  "I think that with the strength of Twelve and Thirteen combined, plus a surprise attack, we can definitely take him down." Inoue Zankyu glanced at the black-clad Twelve and Thirteen, then turned to Nakajima Hokuto: "Master Nakajima, what do you think?"

  "Twelve, thirteen." Kitajima Kitao paused for a moment and said, "I think Inoue-kun's plan can be implemented. Although Inoue-kun made an unforgivable mistake earlier, it was also due to being forced into a corner and not because he really wanted to betray us."

  "Now I know, I wasn't poisoned, it was him who deceived me. I hate him more than you two." Inoue's eyes were filled with intense hatred as he bowed to Kuroko Tetsuya and Kagami Taiga, saying: "Please listen to me once."

  "What's your intention?" Black-clothed man Twelve said with a deep breath.

  "It's been so long since then, and we still don't know where that scoundrel has taken Eleven. With that scoundrel's abilities, Eleven wouldn't stand a chance without any defense, I'm afraid Eleven is already dead." Black-clothed Thirteen's eyes flashed with a hint of sorrow, gritting his teeth as he said: "What we need to do now is kill that scoundrel and avenge Eleven."

  Saying that, the black-clothed man thirteen stared at Iori Mimasaka with a cold gaze and said: "Iori Mimasaka, if you dare to continue deceiving us, I will definitely kill you."

  "I swear in the name of the Emperor that I will never deceive you," said Inoue Zenshō with a serious face.

  "Hmm!"

  The man in black twelve let out a cold snort, turned around and left. The man in black thirteen also didn't stay any longer, closely following behind him, leaving the room of Iori Miki.

  "Inoue-kun, I can only help you this much." Nakajima Kitao shook his head and sighed, saying: "As for what will happen to you with the 12th and 13th, I have no right to interfere."

  Kuroko Twelve and Thirteen were all ninjas from the Yamaguchi-gumi organization, and Nakashima Hokuto was also invited to help out, but he didn't have any control over them. If Kuroko Twelve wanted to kill Izumi Kōji, Nakashima Hokuto couldn't do anything about it.

  At the same time, in Lingwu Mountain, Chen Qingdi hung up the phone in the telephone booth at the foot of the mountain, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent.

  Zhang Shao, Zhang Jingmo was who, in Chen Qingdi's received memories, there wasn't an impression of a pair of eyes, however, Zhang Jingmo's actions touched Chen Dashao's bottom line.

  In Chen Qingdi's view, Zhang Jingmo must die.

  "Huang Ying's mother, there are only three days left, and I'm not clear about the specific situation either. The remaining time is limited, and those Japanese people must be resolved quickly." Chen Qingdi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: "It seems that we can't continue to drag things out with those Japanese people, lest we have too many dreams at night."

  Thinking of this, Chen Qingdi's body moved and he left the Spirit Mist Mountain, took a taxi, and rushed to the villa in the suburbs, to kill all the remaining Japanese people.

  Three hours later, Chen Qingdi arrived at a place one mile away from the suburban villa and got off the car, preparing to walk into the villa on foot.

  "It seems that Iijima didn't betray me after all." Outside the villa, Chen Qingdi was lurking in the shadows, looking at the villa and thinking to himself: "As long as I can ambush either Twelve or Thirteen, I can kill everyone inside the villa in the shortest amount of time."

  "I should make an open and aboveboard entrance, or keep a low profile?" Chen Qing thought for a moment, then said quietly: "They've heard that the eleventh is dead, they'll certainly be on their guard and suspicious, which would not be good."

  At this thought, Chen Qingdi took out a stealth charm, his fingers lightly snapped, the symbol disappeared, and immediately afterwards, Chen Qingdi also disappeared.
