Chapter 361: Retribution for Greed

When Sakurai Hatsune heard that Chen Qingdi was going to attend her concert in Ushinato, she was overjoyed and immediately kissed Zhang Feng on the cheek.

“Yay! Master, you’re finally willing to come to my concert! I don’t care what it takes, I want you to have the best seat up front. My ultimate dance and my most ethereal song will be dedicated to you and you alone!”

Chen Qingdi nodded. “I hear tickets are impossible to get right now. Can you give me a special insider’s discount?”

Sakurai Hatsune looked at him in disbelief.

“You need a ticket to attend my concert? I’ll have my bodyguards escort you inside in a fleet of luxury cars!”

Chen Qingdi said to her, “Actually, I came here for two reasons. First, to attend your concert. Second, to inspect the Yamaguchi Group’s business operations.”

Sakurai Hatsune hummed in acknowledgment. “Is there anything Hatsune can do to help?”

“Just get me an internal ticket so I can get inside. Also, keep an eye out for Yamaguchi Seiko of the Yamaguchi Clan. Find out where she’s sitting and send the info to my phone as soon as you have it.”

As a famous singer who had dedicated her entire being to her music career, Sakurai Hatsune didn’t pay much attention to the gossip columns, so she was unaware of Yamaguchi Seiko’s recent activities.

Upon hearing her master’s command, she agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that the concert was about to start, Sakurai Hatsune reluctantly left Chen Qingdi’s room. A short while later, she sent the seat locations for Yamaguchi Seiko and Hundred Slashes Spring Ox to Chen Qingdi’s phone.

Chen Qingdi’s brow furrowed into a knot. He then dialed Shuang’Er’s number.

It was Li Shuang’Er who answered. “My sister and I have arrived in Ushinato. We were afraid of running into old acquaintances and exposing the master’s plan, so we’ve both disguised ourselves.”

Chen Qingdi nodded. “Have Gu Shuang’Er find Hatsune and be one of her backup dancers. Later, at the concert hall, I need you to find a way to lure Hundred Slashes Spring Ox to the restroom. I’ve arranged for someone to ‘treat him to a big meal’!”

Li Shuang’Er agreed, then added, “We miss you. When can we see you?”

Chen Qingdi smiled. “After this is over, find Liu. He’ll bring you to my room.”

Chen Qingdi dressed as inconspicuously as possible, drove an unremarkable car, and took the VIP ticket Hatsune had sent him. Just as he arrived at the concert venue, he saw Yamaguchi Seiko and Hundred Slashes Spring Ox entering the hall, talking and laughing together.

Veins bulged on his forehead. If not for the fear of exposing his identity, he would have stormed over and given that bastard a savage beating.

However, because Hatsune’s concert was a high-end affair, the two of them used the regular entrance, while Chen Qingdi entered the venue early through the VIP access.

A little while later, with the concert about to begin, Hundred Slashes Spring Ox was just about to start fawning over Yamaguchi Seiko when a young, beautiful girl suddenly approached him.

“Excuse me, are you the famous actor, Mr. Hundred Slashes? A distinguished guest has requested that you come with me.”

Hundred Slashes Spring Ox glanced at the beautiful girl. ‘She isn’t the most gorgeous woman here,’ he thought, ‘but she has youth on her side. Still makes a man want to get his hands on her.’

He took the gold-stamped business card she handed him and saw the name on it.

Tanaka Tomoko, President of Tanaka Corporation, invites you to the VIP section for a chat.

The Tanaka Corporation was actually quite influential in Japan.

And this Tanaka Tomoko was a well-known female entrepreneur—and a former major client and financial backer of Hundred Slashes Spring Ox.

Noticing that Yamaguchi Seiko looked a little displeased, he gave her a gentle smile.

“I went to Spring City to discuss some business; my new TV series needs investment from the Tanaka Clan. Don’t worry, I’ll just be five minutes and then I’ll be right back.”

Yamaguchi Seiko grunted in response. Hundred Slashes Spring Ox followed the young girl, leaving his seat and walking down the aisle to head toward the back, aiming for the VIP section.

The young girl was innocent and charming as she spoke with him. He deliberately made a few flirtatious remarks, and not only did she not object, she seemed to tacitly accept them.

Just as he was about to whisper some sweet nothings, the girl said softly,

“Sir, you have something on your face. Why don’t you go to the restroom and wash it off?”

An idea suddenly sparked in Hundred Slashes Spring Ox’s mind. He deliberately said, “This venue is so big, I can’t find the restroom.”

In the dim light, he saw that the girl’s smile was incredibly gentle. ‘And she seems so concerned about me,’ he thought.

“Sir, please follow me.”

At that moment, everyone was eagerly awaiting Sakurai Hatsune’s appearance, leaving the restroom area deserted. A scene was already forming in Hundred Slashes Spring Ox’s mind.

He and this pure and beautiful girl, alone together in this deserted space, would share a memorable time.

Not only would he be thrilled, but she would surely consider it the pride of her life.

In that moment, he felt as if he were the legendary romantic, Prince Genji.

‘Is this girl before me my very own Zi’Er?’

Soon, they reached the restroom. Hundred Slashes Spring Ox checked himself in a nearby mirror and found that he was as handsome as ever.

His heart began to race. He turned to the girl and said, “Look at me. Handsome, right?”

The girl suddenly appeared shy. She gave him a captivating smile, then pointed to the door of a private restroom beside them and went inside.

A tall giraffe was painted on the wall next to this restroom. Hundred Slashes Spring Ox hesitated for a moment, then, realizing no one was around, he gave a knowing smile and followed the girl inside.

He immediately entered a small stall and found the girl waiting there. He quickly shut the door, but just as he did, he felt a heavy fist slam into his stomach.

He clutched his stomach and doubled over.

The girl’s demeanor changed completely. Like a predator stalking its prey, she drove a vicious kick straight into his groin.

His mouth opened wide to scream, but before any sound could escape, a small hand clamped over it.

Unable to scream through the pain, the expression on his face was a sight to behold as he heard the girl’s cold voice.

“You damned scumbag! Who the hell do you think you’re messing with? Today, I’m going to show you what I’m made of!”

She landed several more heavy blows. Only then did Hundred Slashes Spring Ox realize how badly he had misjudged the situation. Suppressing the pain, he began to beg her for mercy.

The girl pointed to the water in the nearby toilet bowl. “Take a drink, and I’ll let you go.”

“I…”

Before he could finish, someone grabbed the back of his collar and shoved his head down toward the bowl.

“You piece of trash! I’ll teach you to be a homewrecker! I’ll teach you to have such filthy fantasies! You wanted to follow me in here, right? Well, get your fill!”

The man’s head was indeed large; she had to struggle to shove it completely into the water.

The man struggled desperately, but couldn’t break free. She gave his ass a few more hard kicks before tossing her hair and walking out of the stall as if nothing had happened.
