Chapter 368: 0367 Advancing into Western Countries

Due to the involvement of the local government, the Hou River mining area was temporarily closed, prompting numerous scholars and experts to rush there to study the blood-red soil and the matter of innumerable buried bones.

Consequently, raw stone trades were forced to a halt. Some merchants who arrived at Hou River mining area later sighed and returned empty-handed, while others had already made a fortune.

Within a few days, the bodies of Ozawa Ichiro and his five bodyguards were discovered by the scholars, causing quite a stir.

When Du Hao heard that Ozawa Ichiro had been dead for several days, the first person who came to his mind was Ye Qiu, the youth who couldn’t be stopped by bullets.

"It must have been you. You were the only one who came out alive that day. Who else could it have been?" Du Hao muttered to himself. However, a moment later he felt relieved, thankful that Ye Qiu hadn’t attacked him at the time; otherwise, he might have ended up like Ozawa Ichiro.

"Since you won’t help me make money, don’t blame me for being ruthless, huh, I don’t need the Li family, I, Du Hao, can still make something of myself." Du Hao decided to disclose Ye Qiu’s information to the island nation to get what he wanted.

In reality, Ozawa Ichiro’s identity was extraordinary in the island nation. He came to Myanmar under the guise of a businessman, but his purpose was very specific. Yet, such an old master from the island nation was killed abroad, which left the samurai of his country in an uproar.

A master in the later stages of True Qi, who could be considered a founder of martial arts schools in the island nation, had died just like that.

The island nation demanded a thorough investigation to give them an explanation. Myanmar naturally did not want to offend the island nation and had to comply. The investigation revealed the involvement of a Chinese person, but unfortunately, this person had disappeared. The Myanmarese government then informed the island nation of the fact, and the island issued a statement demanding that China hand over this individual.

China’s response was simple: "This is a baseless accusation."

The island nation was furious but, unfortunately, due to a lack of evidence and the highly secretive nature of Ozawa Ichiro’s real identity, the matter had to be dropped in the end.

The death of Ozawa Ichiro was very likely the work of a Chinese martial artist. Why then had they fought each other?

Some masters in the island nation speculated that, based on the fatal wounds of several individuals, they were caused by a sharp weapon. Could it be that Ozawa Ichiro had found the Kusanagi Sword, leading to a battle between them?

This speculation found agreement among many people. Some young enthusiasts were eager to infiltrate China to find the martial artist who killed Ozawa Ichiro and retrieve the Kusanagi Sword.

The Kusanagi Sword, being a Divine Artifact of the nation, should not fall into foreign hands, and most importantly, it must not be allowed in the hands of the Chinese.

Usually, conflicts between martial artists are seldom discussed openly, and some people even tacitly allow it as an established rule. However, this time the approach of the island nation was somewhat unseemly. It was only with China’s repeated counteractions and the ensuing quarrels that the matter finally subsided.

Ye Qiu’s killing of Ozawa Ichiro caused quite a stir. Even he hadn’t anticipated it, with many people secretly seeking information about Ye Qiu, intending to retrieve the Kusanagi Sword.

By then, Ye Qiu had already left Myanmar, boarding a cruise ship and standing at the bow with the slanting sun, heading toward a Western country.

China.

Li Jinglong learned of this news immediately, and the online discussion about Ozawa Ichiro’s death, claiming it was inflicted by a Chinese person, became a popular topic.

"Brother Ye, was it really you who did it?" Li Jinglong was shocked. Soon, his father called him over because his father knew he had gone to the Hou River mining area in Myanmar.

After leaving his father’s room, Li Jinglong took a deep breath. It seemed his father was also very interested in Ye Qiu. Thus, it would be much simpler for him to continue helping the Longjia Company and win Ye Qiu’s favor.

Longjia Group was escalating its commerce wars with Yamato Group and Rongda Group.

Zhao Jun had received information from Huang Ya and thus intensified Yamato Group’s moves against Longjia Group. After consulting with Ye Qiu, Shen Mengchen deliberately leaked information to give those who were sabotaging from the shadows an opportunity.

Seeing Yamato Group closing in step by step, Huang Ya finally confirmed that the information had leaked from her, never imagining that Zhao Jun would be the person involved.

Huang Ya felt she had betrayed Shen Mengchen’s trust. Shen Mengchen did not blame her too much and allowed her an opportunity to make amends.

Huang Ya broke off her connections with Zhao Jun and worked fervently.

As for the figures in her mind, they still flashed occasionally, but the workload stripped Huang Ya of most of her time. Like Shen Mengchen, she became a workaholic.

Wang Jianguo had been missing for a long time, and Shen Mengchen had almost forgotten this character. However, Wang Jianguo was enjoying watching Yamato Group and Longjia Group duke it out, occasionally stabbing Longjia in the back to make their situation even more difficult.

With Wang Jianguo, the person who understood Longjia best acting like a think tank, Wang Chenghu and Ruan Guotao revived Rongda’s fortunes. Although it had not yet returned to its former glory, it was certainly a great achievement for the current Rongda.

Wang Jianguo’s only goal was to destroy Longjia. What he couldn’t have, he didn’t want anyone else to have either.

This extreme idea was deeply rooted in Wang Jianguo’s mind, just waiting to burst forth one day, and make a spectacular entrance before Shen Mengchen.

He was preparing a grand move, considering even Yamato Group a pawn in his game. Wang Jianguo certainly hadn’t forgotten the day Sato Tsuru had refused him, making him feel like a dog without a home. Now, having gained status and recognition within Rongda, he was determined to trample upon or destroy everyone who had looked down on him!

The slanting sunlight filled the sky.

The sea breeze, carrying the salty scent of the ocean, caressed the face. Several seagulls soared above the water, occasionally swooping down to clamp a fish in their beaks before rising into the air, causing the surrounding seagulls to squawk.

Ye Qiu had already been standing at the bow of the ship for an hour, continuously staring ahead.

The scenery before him was truly beautiful, and with Ye Qiu’s level of eloquence, he might say something like, "The setting sun and the solitary wild duck fly together; autumn waters share the same color as the long sky."

But at this moment, he really couldn’t enjoy it, because Ye Qiu had discovered that he, of all people, was seasick!

A late-stage True Qi Martial Artist, just one step away from reaching the peak, was actually seasick. If word got out, many would likely laugh uproariously.

The reason Ye Qiu had been standing for so long was partly because seasickness made him not want to move, and partly because he was trying to overcome the symptoms of seasickness.

Unfortunately, Ye Qiu found that seasickness was truly not easy to overcome.

Just then, a clicking sound of high heels approached.

Unable to resist, Ye Qiu turned around and saw a girl in a white dress, her hair fluttering in the wind.

She had a face that was fresh and vibrant, full of life and spirit, looking back at Ye Qiu!
