No matter how much he treasured Meng’er, no matter how much he could not bear to part with her, Meng’er would eventually get married and become someone else’s family. Bullsh*t!
Just as Skinny was about to speak, Elder Liu interrupted him and said to Chen Meng’er, “Girl, can you not get married in the future?”
“Huh?” Chen Meng’er and Skinny were shocked by Elder Liu’s words. One of them could not help but open his mouth slightly, while the other almost spat out the food in her mouth.
“Sir, what do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you want Little Miss to be an old spinster for the rest of her life?” After Skinny heard his boss’s words, he had long forgotten his purpose of coming here excitedly.
“Whatever!” Elder Liu gave Skinny a fierce glare.
Skinny felt wronged and didn’t dare to speak.
“I want to find a husband for Meng’er. What are you thinking?” Elder Liu glared at Skinny who obviously had a misconception.
“Oh, is that so? Sir, your idea is good.” When Skinny heard Elder Liu’s words, his eyes were full of mirth.
“Right? I also think my idea is good. It seems that I can start to find a partner for Meng’er earlier.” Elder Liu, who received Skinny’s agreement, instantly became complacent.
On the other hand, frown lines appeared on Chen Meng’er’s forehead. She clearly wasn’t old enough for such things!
However, Chen Meng’er wouldn’t say this out loud.
She didn’t want to continue this topic forever. Chen Meng’er wisely chose to change the topic. “Uncle Skinny, what good news do you have?”
“Oh, look at my brain.” Skinny patted his forehead and put on an excited expression, he said, “I just received news that Yamaguchi Yuan’s 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 Takagi’s will, some support Watanabe, and some support Yamaguchi Naoya. In any case, the Yamaguchi-gumi is like a plate of loose sand now. It’s a mess.”
Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu had already expected such a situation after Yamaguchi Takagi’s death. However, they didn’t expect the battle to begin so soon.
“Who do you think will emerge the winner?”
“I think you already know, Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er covered her mouth and said with a smile.
Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding. However, this made Skinny puzzled. “Sir, Little Miss, why can’t I understand what you’re saying? What kind of riddles are you playing?”
“We’re not playing riddles. It’s just that you haven’t thought things through properly.” Elder Liu said as he glanced at Skinny.
Chen Meng’er looked at Skinny with a confused expression, she kindly explained to Skinny, “Actually, 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-gumi’s vitality?” Chen Meng’er asked in return.
When Skinny heard Chen Meng’er’s words, he came to a sudden realization. “Is that so?”
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.
“Uncle Skinny, you still have more good news, right?” Chen Meng’er asked confidently.
“Hey, Little Miss, how did you know?” It was unknown whether it was because he slept too late last night or because he smoked too much, but Skinny’s reaction today was slower than usual.
“I’m clairvoyant.” Chen Meng’er was in a good mood and joked with Skinny.
“Hehe.” Skinny giggled foolishly.
“Don’t just laugh. Hurry up and get down to business.” Elder Liu shook his head.
“Oh, and the current head of the Hongbei family, Hongbei Liang, suddenly fell ill last night. He’s lying in bed, unconscious. Therefore, the Hongbei family held an emergency meeting early this morning. The Hongbei family’s Council of Elders decided that the Hongbei family’s second son, Hongbei Ye, would be the temporary head of the family.” Skinny told them the news. Then, Skinny couldn’t help but ask, “However, in the information we received… There was no mention of the status of Hongbei Liang’s two sons, Hongbei Yongye and Hongbei Yuanye. There was also no mention of their Hongbei family’s ninja secret manual.”
After hearing Skinny’s words, Chen Meng’er didn’t answer him. Instead, she said, “So it was the second brother who plotted against Hongbei Liang.”
