Chapter 16 Section five

Heitaro walked towards the house.Since he was a close neighbor, he entered his room in only two or three minutes. Wife is already asleep.It's exactly the same as usual.Indoor lighting is dim.Heitaro glanced at his wife, but since he was not facing this side, it was hard to tell whether he was asleep or awake.His wife didn't notice the noise just now, which made him feel relieved. He came to the living room, sat down in front of the brazier, and took out a cigarette.His mood was still not calm, his heart was beating fast, and he was still in a state of excitement. Thousands of thoughts came to my mind at the same time.

Wenzi's attitude is so tough, never before.Where she's been today, something must have happened.In other words, behind the resolute resistance, the conditions for breaking up with me, Heitaro, at any time have been fully formed. Is the opponent Sugio Renyo?No, that person has no such talent.Of course, he is an authority in the world of modern ink painting, but he may not be able to meet Wenzi's extravagant expenses financially, and he may also lack the courage to take special care of Wenzi, a disciple.The world of painting is very complicated. Even if Lian Yang took Wen Zi as his own, in the final analysis it was just playing behind the scenes.

It seems that the opponent is still Ichisawa Yusuke.That person has both money and status, so it is not surprising that Wenzi is his concubine.It is said that he has a great appreciation for fine arts and antiques, and has many contacts with people in the cultural circles. No, considering these circumstances, it is obvious that Wenzi took the initiative.Wenzi, as she said, has become a prominent figure in the news reporting circle.She is probably thinking about how to consolidate such a position!For this reason, she will throw herself into the arms of the famous socialite Ichizawa Yongliang.That way, the scandal of being looked after by the pinball parlor owner would disappear.She wanted to change course before the press found out.

Heitaro thought to himself, how could she be allowed to do whatever she wanted!Then smoke cigarettes for a day. ——How will she deal with her past relationship?Being insulted by her like this, I will never let it go!If Wenzi really has that kind of thought, I will definitely punish him! Heitaro seemed to see that Fumiko's elastic body, which left an unforgettable impression on him, was being arbitrarily enjoyed by others.A raging rage burned in his heart.This scene turned into a delusion and came to mind.His fingers holding the cigarette trembled involuntarily. What's more, her father, who was originally an ex-soldier, took such an attitude tonight, which was really unexpected.In the past, he was a man who often avoided Heitaro and hid aside.It seems that this old man has long been unbearable to use his daughter in exchange for Heitaro's financial assistance.Heitaro had never spoken to him face-to-face in the past, and Fumiko's mother always spoke on his behalf.

This superficially humble old man confronted Heitaro head-on.It seems that he was not only furious because his daughter was beaten.If his life was still as insecure as before, he would definitely pretend not to see this scene and ignore it.Besides, the quarrel between Heitaro and Fumiko is similar to the quarrel between a son-in-law and a girl. As a father, there is no need to publicly intervene. Judging from his attitude, did the three of them make a plan to transfer to Ichizawa Yongliang's carriage... Just as Heitaro was thinking about it, footsteps sounded in the corridor.The paper door was pulled open.

The wife stood in the doorway in her pajamas.Heitaro was startled. The wife sat down in front of the brazier with a straight face. "Did you just come back?" She stared straight at her husband's face and asked the question knowingly. "what!" Heitaro's anger towards Fumiko's family immediately turned into wariness towards his wife. "Have you been in the store all this time?" "The final cleanup took too much time. There was something wrong with the income, so I rechecked it with Imai from the accountant, so I came back late." "Hmph! It's inevitable that the accounts are wrong, right?"

"what?" "Where did the income money go, I know it all!" Heitaro smoked silently, and if tit for tat confronted, a quarrel would be inevitable.I just had a quarrel at Wen Zi's house, so I feel a little tired at this time. "It's all a lie to talk about staying in Ginza all the time!" "Not only Ginza, but also Shibuya." "Forget it! I'm tired of hearing your flawed excuses. Hmph, you thought I didn't know anything!...Are you still sleeping?" "I want to stay a little longer." "Really, then I'll go to bed first. From now on, you can run to the next door or do whatever you want, as you please! But, that woman is lying to you, don't be too infatuated. You are not young Come on, don't be so embarrassing and noisy!"

The paper door slammed, and the wife walked out.It turned out that she already knew everything.Heitaro sighed and lit a fifth cigarette.He seemed to be sitting on the ground in midsummer, feeling extremely hot all over. The next night, Heitaro was bagging the day's earnings at the Shibuya branch when two young men came in through the back door, bypassing the darkened front shop. "good evening!" "Oh, here we come!" Heitaro smiled at them. It turned out to be Inoue and Okamura, two gangsters from the Ginza area.It was Heitaro who asked them to come to the Shibuya branch in advance.Because the main store in Ginza is too conspicuous.The two of them are responsible for buying prizes in the pinball shop and also serve as personal bodyguards. They are both backbone members of the "North Village Gang".

"Boss, what are your orders?" "Well... I haven't seen you two for a long time. I want to eat yakitori with you guys. Brothers have a party!" "That's great, accompany, accompany!" "The rest is up to you!" Heitaro told the male clerk who was on duty to close the door and other matters, and then took the two of them out. Near the overpass, there is an alley full of snack shops and roast chicken shops. "Hey, Inoue-kun!" Heitaro said after a few rounds of drinking, "Can you do something as I want?" "Hey, what's the matter?"

Inoue threw away the bamboo stick on the chicken and asked while chewing. "Well... there is a guy I hate, I want to show him some color." "Did you kill that kid?" "It's not necessary... it's enough to let him suffer." "Okay. At your service. But, does the other party have any gang?" "No." Heitaro frowned and said, "It's a person." "Ah, it turned out to be a person! I don't know what kind of thing that guy is, but I dare say it's easy!" "I'll give you another reward!" "It's easy to talk about. The boss usually takes care of the brothers, so leave this to us. Hey, Okamura!"

Inoue looked at his accomplice alertly, and then said: "So, it's okay to break that guy's finger?" "Ok!" As the opponent's fighting spirit continued to rise, Heitaro's mood gradually became heavy, and his words became less and less. He wanted them to hurt Wenzi's face, but he couldn't speak.When things came to an end, he couldn't make a final decision. This is not because he is afraid of things being revealed, but because he is still reluctant to part with Wenzi.Although that was the plan he had been thinking about since last night, seeing Inoue and Okamura's straightforward promise, he somehow suddenly had the idea of ​​protecting Fumiko. "However, it's inconvenient to say the name of the other party." Heitaro said weakly, "I won't do it for a while, and now I just want to see your attitude. Once I need you, would you like to help?" "That's fine, anytime!" Inoue's face immediately lost the luster of excitement, and he stared straight at Heitaro.Heitaro felt a bit of contempt in his eyes.Heitaro hurriedly took out the black wallet from his back pocket, and pulled out a 5,000-yen note. "Let's have a good drink tonight!" "Ok." Inoue unceremoniously took the ticket and showed it to his accomplice Okamura, and then stuffed it into the pocket of the brown leather jacket. "Old fan, I'm sorry to often use your pocket money!"
