Chapter 20 Special Strong Association

When Mi Shan saw the person led by the secretary to the general manager's office, he felt a little relieved. The man was wearing a full suit, and the trouser seams were ironed to a crisp.The leather shoes are also polished very brightly.What he particularly liked was the ordinary hairstyle. This definitely doesn't look like a villain.Yoneyama feels at ease because of this hairstyle.Men with long hair, who are popular nowadays, generally have an aversion to law and order; long front hair, which will cover the eyes as soon as the head is lowered - young people with this hairstyle generally ignore social norms.As for the men with sportsman's hair, it's too naive—the Yoneyama family has such a prejudice against men's hairstyles.

The man who appeared in front of him was about in his 30s or early 40s.It should not be suitable for people of this age to have athlete's head or long hair, right? "Please sit down." When Mr. Mishan invited the guest to sit down on the sofa, he stared at the man with a pair of eyes, expressing that he did not sincerely welcome his arrival. "Excuse me. This is my business card." The other party handed out his business card. Tachida Shigeyuki, chairman of the Special Strong Precision Association. "Huh...? The Special Strong Essence Association...?" While looking at the business card and the man's face, Mi Shan sat down on the single sofa chair. "You said, you came here for Ritsuko Ikemoto's affairs?"

Yoneyama first said what was on his mind. Mishan's policy has always been to never meet strangers who do not bring a letter of introduction.Therefore, he originally wanted to refuse to meet with this person who claimed to be Tachida, but because the other party said on the phone, "This matter is related to Ms. Ritsuko Ikemoto", he temporarily changed his mind and decided to meet with him once. What's more, the call from Litian did not go through the company's switchboard, and only a few people knew the number of his special line. "By the way, general manager, I haven't congratulated you yet."

Litian stood up as if remembering, bowed his waist and said. "Congratulations... what are you congratulating me for?" "General Manager Yoneshan, didn't you decide to take care of Ms. Ikemoto?" "Hey... Is this kind of thing worthy of congratulations?" Mishan smiled wryly. Ritsuko Ikemoto is the lady of a bar in Ginza that Yoneyama sometimes goes to.Ritsuko has been working in this store for five or six years, right?She is quiet by nature, and she doesn't like to talk when sitting with guests, so until recently, Mi Shan didn't pay much attention to her.

One day about a month ago, when Ms. Yoneyama came here, the shop seemed to be very busy, and the girls didn't have time to come over to say hello. As a result, Ritsuko sat next to Ms. Yoneyama.After chatting for a while, Yoneyama was quickly attracted by this Ritsuko. There's no particular reason for this either.If you want to say, it's probably because the Mishan family didn't have a lot of alcohol this day and just wanted to talk to someone?As a result, he found that he and Ritsuko got along very well, so it was very rare for him to chat until closing time. Aged 29 years old, once divorced, but no children.These things are all said by Ritsuko himself.Her frank attitude made Mi Shan feel very satisfied.

As a result of the investigation, it was found that what she said was true—on this day, Yoneyama immediately came to the bar and told Ritsuko. "I don't want to play with you once or twice a month. Let me take care of everything about you, okay?" "Really?" Ritsuko's eyes widened, "Last time you sent me back, I asked you to come to my room and you refused, I thought you didn't like me, the general manager... ..." "So, do you agree?" Ritsuko nodded silently. "I think such things should of course be congratulated!" Litian said solemnly, "There are only men and women in this world, and it can be said that there are very few cases where a man and a woman will truly fall in love with each other. Even if they fall in love with each other, the dream cannot come true due to the obstacles of the environment. There are so many such examples! From this point of view, the general manager and Ms. Ikemoto's affairs are so smooth, isn't it the most appropriate to use the word congratulations at this time?"

"Ha, you can really talk!" Mi Shan smiled and nodded.He felt the same about what Tachida said.However, he didn't get carried away with it.The general manager has been working for a long time, and of course he has seen a lot of flatterers. He will not relax his vigilance towards the other party just because of this. "How do you know the relationship between me and her? Did she tell you?" "How can there be such a thing? She is not such a big-mouthed woman - this point, the general manager, you know best. To be honest, this is the information obtained by our organization network of the Special Strong Essence Association. "

"You mean to say that your intelligence network is very developed? But why do you have such an intelligence network? From the look of you, you don't look like a person who makes a living out of blackmail." Yoneyama said in a tone of overpowering the enemy. "Ha, the general manager really has this kind of suspicion. Wherever we go, we will always be misunderstood at the beginning..." Litian showed a sad look. "You're misinterpreting me. I'm just saying, don't look like a liar." "I don't want to argue with you on this point, because this is what we are destined to do, and we can't argue... Due to the nature of our business, it is not convenient for our association to advertise, so it is difficult for the purpose of the business to be recognized by the general public. I understand. However, those who have used it all praised us, saying that our association has made a great contribution to the development of the Japanese economy.”

"Contributed to the development of Japan's economy? Isn't your boast too big?" "No, this is an absolute fact. Since the members of our association are the general managers and senior cadres of the first-class domestic enterprises, won't satisfying these people mean contributing to the development of the Japanese economy?" "Hey... Are there really so many people participating? Then who am I?" There was dissatisfaction in Mi Shan's tone.Many general managers of large enterprises have joined the association, but no one has come to invite me to join the association. Doesn't this mean that I am underestimated? "No, general manager, please don't get me wrong. Our association has intentionally invited you to join us from the very beginning. However, general manager, you have always behaved like a gentleman, and you have hardly heard of any scandal... Maybe this Is it because our intelligence network is not strong enough and the news is not effective? In short, our association sincerely invited the general manager to participate this time."

"I still don't know. According to what you said, your association only allows people with women or lovers outside to join?" "Yes, you are right. Especially those who have young lovers in the political and economic circles, we sincerely hope that they will join the club." Tachida bowed his waist, and looked at Mrs. Yoneyama's expression as if peeping. Mishan called his secretary and told Litian to bring out black tea.He is interested in Tachida's words, and it can be seen from this. While drinking black tea, Litian explained the purpose of the Strong Precision Association.

——Most of those who are active in the front line of Japanese political and economic circles are people in their sixties or seventies. When these people have a lover outside the family, the first thing they worry about is that the lover will steal chickens and dogs outside. "I'm not saying that Ms. Chimoto would do this kind of thing. I'm just talking about it in general. Please don't pay attention to the general manager..." Litian also added such an excuse in his explanation. "Why are these people so obsessed with it? It's because they don't have enough confidence in themselves. "'This woman has no real feelings for me. She is my lover only for the sake of glory and wealth.' There is such an idea in the hearts of these people, so they are deeply afraid that their lover When meeting energetic young people, they will engage in sneaky activities. "Isn't this a ridiculous thing? As an important person in Japan's political and economic circles, what a charm in terms of characters and insights! No matter how beautiful the little boy is, can he compare with such a person? This is also the case Is it the reason why people can have today's status?...Don't mention the chick who has never seen the world and knows little about life, but the woman who has really had experience dealing with men still doesn't understand the value of these first-class people? So, for this reason Don't worry about it, it should be unnecessary." "But……" Yoneyama didn't understand what Litian said, but he tilted his head and said, "Young people have charms that old people don't have. Knowing she doesn't satisfy her—isn't it?" In fact, this is exactly the voice of Mishan himself.After his wife, who had been married for more than 30 years, passed away two years ago, he did not say that he had never had affairs, but the number of times he had had was few and far between.And it's just a play on the spot, not out of real needs. Therefore, although he decided to embrace Ritsuko Ikemoto as his lover this time, he was not sure whether he could fully satisfy her.My greatest ability is probably once a week, right?At this level, can Ritsuko, who is as young as a tiger and a wolf, still be satisfied? "That's the problem." Li Tian leaned out and said, "If she has the strength to satisfy her, all problems can be solved easily—isn't that the case?" "That being said—" Mishan smiled wryly. "It's already a lot of age. Does this kind of thing mean that you can be strong if you are strong?" "You can't say that. Isn't Chairman D of A Railway Company the best example?" "He...he is a monster, how can ordinary people compare with him?" Mi Shan shook his head and said. The 76-year-old Chairman D of A Railway Company is 10 years older than Mi Shan. It is said that he has four Xiaomis!It is said that he will take three wives with him during his inspection tour, and let them live in a room in the hotel, and his old man will definitely go through the three rooms in one night and "sprinkle the rain".He wasn't just talking in the room, as evidenced by the women's cries that came from each room successively. Chairman D is just such a legendary figure. "Do you think he's a monster?" "It's not a monster, that's weird. The geishas in Shimbashi and Akasaka are proud to have sex with him, and some have actually gotten it." "Then...General Manager, you should follow Chairman D's example, isn't that enough?" "Look up to him...?" Now it was Mishan's turn to speak. "I'm not joking. Chairman D has such energy because he joined our association...I say this, you should understand, right?" "Really?" "Chairman D is just one example. It is the highest principle of our association to keep the names of the participants absolutely confidential—however, I will only disclose one point here for your reference. Except for Chairman D, our association Among the members who join the membership are President C of F Bank, and in the political field, there are Member N who was a minister before, and there are many old Mr. S who is the elder of the ×× party.” Litian lowered his voice whenever a person's name was mentioned. "To be specific, how can I apply for membership in your association?" Yoneyama stood up and walked to his desk, opened the drawer to get a cigar, and offered one to Litian. This cigar is always reserved for special guests only.Such courteous treatment proves that the Yoneyama family is becoming more and more interested in Tachida's words. This should be no wonder, right? Chairman D, President C, Councilor N, Elder S and others named by Litian, although they are over 70 years old, they all have ruddy complexions and great energy.Why wouldn't Mishan not want to make himself like them? "When participating, you have to pay a membership fee of 3 million yuan, and then you only need to pay a monthly membership fee of 20,000 yuan." "3 million yuan...?" Yoneyama repeated the amount the other party said.He seemed to think the number was a little too high. "This amount shouldn't be too high, right? To win the favor of your young lover, don't you spend a lot of money? Mink fur coats, diamond rings... to buy several of these things in a row, 3 million yuan may not be enough. .” "These things don't mean that if you join the association, you don't have to buy them." "Actually, you don't have to buy it for her. Do you know? Why do elderly people with status and financial resources frequently buy mink fur coats, diamond rings and other expensive things to please their young lovers? I don’t have self-confidence in physical strength, and I’m worried that the other party won’t be satisfied. I’m afraid that my woman will hook up with a bad boy, so I want to tie the other party’s heart with a gift—isn’t that right?” "Although it's not completely right, it's partly right." Yoneyama said while blowing the smoke of his cigar to the ceiling. "After joining our association, you will never have such worries again." "why?" "Because women will become afraid of being dumped by men. That is to say, they are afraid of being disliked by men for asking for things-in this way, can't you save a lot of unnecessary expenses? Another point is the problem of women being jealous. In the future , if you meet your lover who is jealous, you can scold her. For fear that your heart will leave her, she will not dare to be jealous again. Doesn’t all this make a man happy?" "Is that really the case?" Mi Shan is still a little dubious. "So, our association only accepts a limited number of people as members. Don't let political and economic leaders be distracted by women's affairs, can concentrate all their energy on their own careers or tasks, and hope to make some contributions to society-this is That is the purpose of our association." "However, I still don't understand the most important point. After joining your association, why do you become so energetic? If you become an energetic person, you can satisfy women, and you don't have to try to please women everywhere. I understand the reason... But, just joining the association doesn't mean you can become a vigorous person, right? Do you teach members special gymnastics or something like that?" "No, how can we teach this kind of gymnastics? These people are already very busy, how dare we take up your precious time by teaching gymnastics? Our basic purpose is to let the celebrities who are active on the front line try their best to Reduce mental and labor waste." "Then... what method did you use?" Mi Shan asked. "This association has always entrusted a large hospital to be responsible for the health management of its members, and the affiliated research institute of this hospital has recently developed a new drug. This new drug is the secret of the energy-enhancing method I am talking about here." "It turned out to be drugs..." Mishan's interest suddenly diminished.How is this any different from a drug Zaire?Yoneyama announced to the other party that the meeting was over. Soon, due to the situation, Yoneyama had to think about Litian. During this time, he had already bought a suite apartment for Ritsuko Ikemoto to live in, and he had also stayed here for a few nights.At this moment, he began to feel uneasy about whether he had not satisfied her completely. So far, he thinks his performance should be pretty good.Compared with other men of similar age, isn't my performance not active and brave enough?However, after all, the other party is a woman who is as young as a tiger and a wolf.She seemed a little unsure. One night, Yoneyama himself had been fully satisfied, and at the same time thought that Ritsuko was also very tired, so he fell asleep peacefully. When he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, he felt that his lower abdomen was a little strange. Could it be that he woke up because of this feeling? "Huh?! What are you doing?" Mishan said.Only then did he realize that his sensations were caused by Ritsuko's hand movements. "Ah! I'm sorry. I'm so embarrassed." Ritsuko immediately covered her face with her hands. "Never mind. But..." "He is so hot that he can't sleep at all! You only come once a week... When you come, can't you serve me a little more?" If only I were five years younger, that would be great.Mi Shan thought to himself.If I were five years younger, just hearing Ritsuko's words just now, I would be brave enough to challenge her again, right?In fact, the Mishan family has more than enough heart but not enough energy.Although the cute Ritsuko desperately moved her slender snow-white fingers, his thing was like a child who was having trouble talking, and he couldn't speak if he couldn't speak. "I'm sorry, I'm having some headaches with my business...and, I have something important tomorrow..." Mishan had no choice but to prevaricate with these reasons. "I'm sorry, I'm too headstrong...I'll just take a cold shower and clear my mind." After saying that, Ritsuko walked out of the bedroom. Mi Shan looked at her back and remembered what Litian said - "Once a person in his sixties or seventies has a lover, the most worrying thing is whether the lover will hook up with a little boy without telling him—" Mi Shan shook his head several times on the bed. Such a situation must be inevitable, right?With my current physical strength, once a week is the maximum limit.But she couldn't be satisfied with this, she couldn't bear it until the next week came, at this time... such a thing is not impossible.At least, it is inevitable that I will suffer from this kind of suspicion. If I had something to do and called her suddenly, if she wasn't there, wouldn't I be suspicious of where she and her young lover were going to flirt?If I become like this, how painful will this day be?Should I join the Special Strong Essence Association?But is this medicine really that effective?Everything waits until the drug is confirmed to be effective.After Yoneyama made such a decision, he immediately ordered the company's investigation department personnel to conduct an investigation.From the sidelines, thoroughly investigate the three people, Chairman D of A Railway Company, President C of F Bank, and Congressman N, to see if they have really satisfied many young women—this is the main point of Mr. Mishan’s instructions. The results of the investigation were presented to the general manager's office a few days later.The three persons who were directly in charge of the investigation reported with amazed expressions how energetic the three old men were. "I'm beginning to feel that life is really interesting." The staff responsible for investigating President C said: "In addition to his wife, this old gentleman has two concubines. In addition, he also has a beautiful secretary, who seems to have a hand with this secretary. The day before yesterday, President C attended a reception in the industrial and commercial circles, and his old man left the bank two hours before the reception, hired a car to M Hotel, got down with Miss Secretary, and went straight into Room 401. I stayed here for about an hour, and when I came out, the secretary frequently combed her hair with her hands, which shows that..." "Hey...it's a good show in broad daylight?" Misan said in a voice from his throat.He seemed to be infinitely envious of such President C. So, it seems that the Association of Extraordinary Essence must join...?But... Mi Shan immediately fell into deep thought.It has indeed been proven that these three celebrities are men of unrivaled energy.However, it remains to be verified whether it is the effect of the medicine of the Strong Essence Association. Fortunately, Mr. Mishan and Congressman N have a good acquaintance.So he decided to call Congressman N and inquire about the Strong Essence Association with a vague attitude. "You mean the organization of the Strong Essence Association...? Maybe I'm also on the list? Many non-governmental organizations often ask me to be listed. I don't know what the actual situation is like." "Is this the only relationship you have with them?" "What... what's the matter? Did something wrong happen to the Strong Essence Association?" "No, that's not what it means." As a result, Mishan did not get any specific information from the phone call. The Mi Shan family is already on the verge of riding a tiger, so they have to figure things out. Anyway, let's ask Tachita for clarification—Yoneyama found out the business card he got before and called Tatsuta, asking him to come to the company. "I expected you to call me sooner or later." When Litian heard that Mishan was going to meet him again, he smiled happily on the phone. Oh shit!Mi Shan clicked his tongue.But, what other way is there at this time? "I want to ask you something more in person—" Mishan could only pretend to be calm and said. "Huh...? Representative N answered you like this?" When they met, Li Tian smiled and said, "Don't you think it's appropriate for him to answer like this? If people in the opposition party knew about this kind of thing, wouldn't Congress be turned upside down?" ?” "Congress turned upside down...? And why?" "The problem lies in the medicines we distribute to members. It's always bad if too many people know about it. So, as I said before, we absolutely keep the names of members of the Strong Essence Association secret." "Why is it necessary?" Compared to last time, Mishan's tone became much more polite.This is not an attitude he forced himself to express, but a natural expression of his heart.It can be seen from this how deep his desire for strong spirits is. "On this point, I will explain the drug we use, and you will naturally understand. Our association calls this drug V-2. The V-1 developed before has been proved to be effective through animal experiments, so Then it is modified to be suitable for the human body—especially for oriental people, this is V-2. The actual product is like this, tasteless and odorless, and very easy to take.” Litian took out a pack of medicine from his pocket, and opened the wrapped paper. "How about you try it?" "Uh, this..." "Are you afraid it's poisonous, aren't you? Don't worry, I'll try it for you." Litian dipped a little white medicinal powder on the ring finger of his right hand and showed it to Yoneyama. Mishan then learned to try it.Sure enough, it's tasteless and odorless, so it should be easy to take. "Let me report something to you..." Litian immediately put the package of medicine into his pocket with an extremely solemn gesture. "Since this thing is so effective, why not create a pharmaceutical company and sell it nationwide under mass production? We are often questioned like this..." "Yeah, isn't this a big, sure-fire business?" "Unfortunately, we can't do such a thing. First, the impact of this thing is too great. Once it becomes popular, we can't even imagine how society will change. Because of the efficacy of this drug It’s too strong! An honest gentleman should not have any big problems if he takes this product, but there are not only honest gentlemen in society. If all sexual perverts have the opportunity to take it, how many women will suffer. Thinking of this, Don't we still shudder? Think about it, the men all over the street are like cats and dogs in estrus. Under such circumstances, wouldn't there be rape cases and social chaos? Besides, several men rob a woman , such things must happen frequently, right?" "Hey... is this thing really that powerful?" Mishan licked his lips.If this thing is so effective, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with Ritsuko in the future?When he thought of this, he seemed to feel that his lower abdomen was congested.No matter how effective the medicine is, I only tasted a little bit just now, so it is impossible for it to work now.This is because it has been a few days since the last time I looked for Ritsuko, and my vitality has roughly recovered, right? "Ha! There is no doubt about that." Li Tian nodded confidently and spoke again. "There are also practical problems. Pharmaceutical companies must obtain a license from the Department of Health for the manufacture and sale of drugs, and as far as V-2 is concerned, this seems to be difficult..." "Does it contain any harmful substances?" "How is this possible?...Do we dare to let the first-class people in the political and economic circles take such a thing? To be honest, the difficulty lies in the problem of raw materials." "I still can't figure it out. Since it doesn't contain harmful substances, what's the difficulty in obtaining permission from the Department of Health? I believe there are some powerful people in the political circle among your members. Asking such people to take care of you, isn't it just a matter of time?" Is it easy?" "In fact, it's not that simple. Once the materials are made public, religious groups will definitely oppose them fiercely, and the opposition party will definitely attack them with humanitarian issues. Moreover, this is not without conflict with the current criminal law..." "Contradicts the current criminal law...?" Mi Shan asked in a low voice. "Isn't there a crime of mutilating a corpse in the criminal law? Article 190 of the Criminal Law stipulates: 'Whoever damages, loses or receives a corpse, remains, hair, or things hidden in a coffin shall be punished with a penalty of not more than three years'." "What?! This thing was originally made from corpses?" Mi Shan's face was wrinkled ugly. "Yes. However, General Manager, you don't have to frown like this. This thing is absolutely thorough in terms of sterilization and disinfection. Isn't the medicine I showed you just now clean enough?" "You really startled me. . . . What part of the corpse did you use?" "Some people use the testicles of fur seals to make medicine. Have you heard of this? Each male fur seal can control several female fur seals. They are extremely energetic. This is the starting point for making this type of medicine. In fact, the fur seals It is not a problem whether the energy is unmatched. As long as it is the testicles of mammals, there is no difference in effectiveness. This has been proved in animal experiments, and another fact discovered by the results of the experiments is: similar animals The testicles are more efficient..." "Similar animals...?" "Yes. Let the male dog eat the dog's testicles, and let the male cat eat the cat's testicles. This is the ideal form we found in the V-1 stage. The inference from this is: for humans, the human testicles are the most ideal form. Effective... What I didn't expect was that the Chinese knew this fact a long time ago. This is the eunuch in their history. Of course you know what an eunuch is, right?" "I know. Didn't this servant exist for the purpose of serving the emperor's concubine in the harem? Because he had to get along with thousands of beauties, and for fear of making mistakes, they were all castrated..." "That's right. However, I heard that the real purpose of castration is not entirely to avoid mistakes, but to use the amputated testicles to make sperm-enhancing medicine for the emperor to take. Because of this, the emperor of ancient China had a way Take turns hugging these three thousand beautiful concubines every night..." "Huh...? Is this the purpose of setting up eunuchs?" Misan said with a voice from his throat.After he mentioned it like this, it seems reasonable! "Therefore, at the beginning, this association had the same idea, preparing to adopt the method of using the testicles of living men. Now in Japan, there are many people who want to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Therefore, there are many sources of testicles. This is our The idea at the time. However, it was later discovered that such a method is still dangerous. Because the secret is likely to be leaked from the mouth of the provider. Therefore, we have to take a step back and use the things of the deceased." "But... although it belongs to the deceased, will the bereaved family agree?" Mishan asked with a sigh.At this moment, he seems to have fallen into this topic. "There is a hospital that has a cooperative relationship with us—do you remember what I said last time? When an inpatient dies, the hospital will request the bereaved family to perform a pathological autopsy on the body. When a traffic accident victim dies, they can find out the cause of death and conduct an autopsy. At this time, they can take the opportunity to cut off the testicles. After the operation, they will stuff cotton into it and sew it up. The survivors will not notice of." "..." Mishan sighed again.This time it was a groan of wonder at such an astonishing event in secret. "General manager——" Litian resumed his original tone and said, "From the above explanation, why we have to keep the V-2 a secret, you should understand the reason?" "Of course I understand. Once such a thing spreads, it's worth it? Also, I understand the reason why the membership fee is several million yuan. This money is more or less like an insurance premium for the purpose of keeping secrets." , isn't it?" "You are all right. Now you agree to sign with us, right? This is not to bluff you. Since we have leaked so many secrets to you, if you still do not want to participate, in order to protect the reputation of our members, we will Something has to be done..." Litian's voice suddenly became menacing. "No, of course I will." Mishan quickly replied. "Then thank you. However, there is one thing I have to declare to you first. Due to different constitutions, our medicine can produce immediate results for some people, but it takes a period of time for some people to take effect. A few people even There will be mild side effects..." "Side effects? What kind of side effects?" Mi Shan felt a little uneasy.This is because of his allergic constitution. "You don't have to worry about this. The degree varies from person to person, but at most it's just a slight dizziness or loss of appetite. And, so far, only four people have this phenomenon. That's all. In some cases, as long as you stop taking it for two or three days, you will be fine." "Why do some people not work for a long time?" "People who have taken medicine indiscriminately in the past will take effect later. However, it will take a month at most. The effect of the medicine will appear naturally, and there will be no problems in the future. Because the medicine will adapt to your body at this time body. You won't have any side effects from now on, and it will happen every day." When speaking, Litian stretched out his right arm and moved his middle finger up and down a few times. "A month at most, isn't it?" "Yes, at most one month. We usually call this period the 'trial run' period. Pay the membership fee, and you can wait until the trial run period is over and you are really satisfied with the efficacy of the medicine before you pay the membership fee." "Hey, your business is quite conscientious." Yoneyama nodded in satisfaction. Readers: What do you think of this article when it comes to this point?Some people's lives are really good. Since this thing is so effective, I will also find a doctor friend to find a way to get a few sets of human testicles-is there anyone who has such a plan?I am here to report another fact—Mishan died before the one-month "test run" period expired. He did not die of acute illness.The cause of death was chronic arsenic poisoning. As a result of the diagnosis, it was found that he took arsenic acid (a colorless and odorless substance) in a very small amount each time for a long time, and the gradual accumulation of this substance in the body caused him to die. However, why does Mishan take arsenic acid?Had he been tricked into taking this stuff unknowingly?These things are never known. As for who Litian is, even the author doesn't know.It is not out of the question that as the general manager of a large corporation, he unknowingly makes enemies.One of these enemies hired Tate - isn't there a possibility?
