Part 11 Domineering and Overlord Chapter 1 [Hongling and Reunion] (Three)

"Uncle Liang! Can you stop joking now?" Xiao Yu didn't expect that Zhao Jinliang could bring out the legendary characters at this time.

Zhao Jinliang explained seriously: "What I am talking about is not a legend. The god of gambling Gao Jin is indeed a true person."

When Xiao Yu saw his serious expression, he didn't seem to be a joke and stopped laughing.

"Gao Jin is a legend in the 1990s. He once swept across Asia alone and was listed as an unpopular person by many of the largest casinos in the world." Zhao Jinliang tells about Gao Jin's glorious achievements in the past.

Chen Jintang sighed: "But the Gao Jin you mentioned had died on the high seas more than ten years ago!"

Zhao Jinliang shook his head: "Gao Jin is not dead!"

Chen Jintang asked strangely: "Why are you so sure?"

"Gao Jin was chased by many casinos back then, and it was Mr. Zhuo who helped him escape from Hong Kong..." Zhao Jinliang paused for a moment and looked at Xiao Yu: "I was the one who was responsible for sending him out of Hong Kong at that time!"

Xiao Yu became very interested in Gao Jin: "So, Uncle Liang, you should know Gao Jin's whereabouts!"

Zhao Jinliang sighed: "I just know that he went to Japan, and I don't know the specific whereabouts..."

Chen Jintang couldn't help but say, "It's just like not saying anything. I can't find Gao Jin. Is it useless to say so much?"

"Gao Jin left Hong Kong to join his best friend Lin Zufan. I think as long as I find Lin Zufan, I will definitely know Gao Jin's whereabouts." Zhao Jinliang said loudly.

Chen Jintang smiled and said, "Old Zhao, Lao Zhao, are you confused? Lin Zufan, the land of the Qinglong Gang, has been out of the world for more than 20 years. Japan is so big, where can we find his whereabouts?"

Zhao Jinliang decided: "I want to prove that Gao Jin is still living in this world!"

Xiao Yu and Hu Zhongwu looked at each other, and a hint of joy emerged in their hearts. It turned out that Lin Zufan and Gao Jin had such a deep friendship. As long as they could motivate Lin Zufan, it should not be difficult to ask Gao Jin to come out again.

Xiao Yu stood up and said, "It seems we need to prepare. Go to Japan right away!"

Zhao Jinliang and Chen Jintang were both surprised: "Are you really planning to find Gao Jin?"

"Why not go? Only by finding Gao Jin can we win the championship of this Gambling King Competition and successfully defeat the conspiracy of these people to jointly deal with us."

"I'll go with you!" Hu Zhongwu volunteered.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I plan to go to Japan alone!"

"What?"

Xiao Yu said: "Now all Asian gangsters are staring at our every move. Yamaguchi Group is very likely to attack Fanny again. She needs you to be responsible for her safety."

He turned to Zhao Jinliang and Chen Jintang again: "You two seniors, you want to stay in the back for me to save Fang Tianyuan from any abnormal movements. Besides... I don't want too many people to know about my trip to Japan. If they realize that I was going to invite Gao Jin, they would definitely obstruct them on the way!"

Hu Zhongwu reminded Xiao Yu: "After this incident in Macau, the Yamaguchi group has hated you to the core. Is it too dangerous for you to go to Japan alone?"

Xiao Yu laughed: "I'm going to find someone, not fighting with Yamaguchi. What's the danger? Don't worry, I will protect myself."

Xiao Yu flew to Kobe that afternoon. According to his original intention, he wanted to visit Lin Zuhan in Rokka Mountain that night. However, when the plane arrived over Kobe, it encountered heavy rain, which was more than an hour later than the expected landing time. When Xiao Yu arrived at Kansai Airport, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

He was still staying at the New Kobe Oriental Hotel last time. Just after taking a shower, Hu Zhongwu called from Hong Kong and asked if he had arrived in Japan safely. Xiao Yu explained to him some things about the casino before hanging up the phone.

He had already digested all the food he ate on the plane. Although there was room service in the hotel, Xiao Yu considered it and chose to go out for a late-night snack.

There is a food street not far from the hotel. Although it is close to midnight, the entire street is still brightly lit, and the Japanese's preference for nightlife is second to none in Asia.

Xiao Yu walked into a small shop called "Haya and Hiewe Sushi". The store is a typical Japanese Edo-style building. Although it is not too big, it is very elegantly decorated and full of a strong Japanese style.

Anyone who has been to Japan or who is interested in Japan will probably know sushi from books or from other people's conversations: sushi is to cut tuna or bonito into small pieces that can be eaten in one bite, and then hold it on the rice ball with your hands... In fact, sushi has unexpected historical and cultural factors. It is difficult to simply explain it clearly in one or two sentences.

There are many types of sushi in Japan. After years of development and evolution, most of its shapes are completely different from traditional sushi.

This sushi restaurant is run by an elderly couple. The host is busy making sushi in the semi-open kitchen. When watching him cut, pinch and decorate a sushi, it seems that he is not just a chef, but more like a beautiful performer, to entertain customers.

The hostess was introducing the origin of sushi to several Chinese tourists in a stiff Chinese language.

Xiao Yu sat aside with interest and listened to the old man's story. The old man seemed very kind and smiled and said: "The historical origin of sushi is not long. During the Yenbao period of the Edo period (1673 to 1680), the Kyoto doctor Shinfu Matsumoto soaked various seafood in vinegar overnight and then ate it with rice. It can be said that this was a new attempt to preserve food at that time. After 150 years, a man named Kaya and Hiewe lived in Edo Castle. In the sixth year of Fumimasa (1823), he simplified the preparation and eating of sushi, clasped the rice and seafood soaked in vinegar, named it "Yihei Sushi", and it was sold publicly. This is the prototype of sushi now, and this statement has long been concluded."

At this time, the old man began to deliver the sushi ordered by everyone one by one. Sushi is not just food, it is also a exquisite art. The beauty of fish, the harmony of colors and the creative combination of platters make you have a great appetite just by seeing them. The old woman helped put green mustard and other seasonings on the table.

Through the introduction of the old woman, diners learned that sushi was originally a food that tends to be sweet, so the history of eating green mustard and sushi rice balls is also very shallow. This is to use the spicy of mustard to keep the sushi ingredients fresh.

Xiao Yu ordered another bottle of sake and started eating it happily. The sushi here is indeed very good, mixing the fresh aroma of different seafood, and the glutinous and refreshing taste of the rice itself makes people feel endless aftertaste.

Because this place is very close to Kitanopo Kabukicho, Kabuki will come here to ask for takeout from time to time. Xiao Yu suddenly remembered the scene when he happened to meet Kaori Misa in Butterfly Kabukicho when he came to Kobe last time. A sense of unspeakable nostalgia surged into his heart.

After leaving the sushi restaurant, Xiao Yu walked along the street towards Kitanopo. The street after the rain was washed very clean, and the air was filled with a sense of desolation. Perhaps because the heavy rain had just stopped, Kitanopo's business seemed much lighter. Kabuki, which was seen everywhere on the road, can only be seen in front of the gate.

According to his original impression, Xiao Yu quickly found the Kabukicho named "Butterfly House". What surprised him was that the door of Butterfly House was tightly closed, and a lot of dust was accumulated on the door lock. It seemed that he had been closed for a long time.

After asking Xiao Yu, I learned that the owner of Butterfly House, Momoe Akagawa, transferred the place a year ago, and no one knew where she is now.

From time to time, Kaori Misa's beautiful smile appeared in front of Xiao Yu's eyes. She should have left Kobe with Akagawa Momoe. This strong girl will never surrender to fate at any time.

The next morning, Xiao Yu rushed to Mount Liujia to visit Lin Zufan very early. I remember that last time he came with Song Laohei to invite Lin Zufan out of the mountain and revitalize the Qinglong Gang. Now Song Laohei has passed away, and he has long since disconnected from the Taiwanese gangs and became the new leader of the Hong Kong Triad. It is really unpredictable that so many changes have occurred around him in less than two years.

When Xiao Yu came to Lin Zufan's residence, he was fiddling with his flowers and plants in front of the door.

"Uncle San!" Xiao Yu shouted respectfully.

Lin Zufan obviously did not expect that Xiao Yu would appear in front of him. He wiped his hands covered with mud and showed a kind smile: "Xiao Yu!"

He came to Xiao Yu, stared at Xiao Yu and took a closer look, then said, "It's really you!" He hurriedly invited Xiao Yu to the grass pavilion in front.

"Last year, someone from the Qinglong Gang came to Japan and said you were dead in North Korea..." Lin Zufan didn't know Xiao Yu's recent situation.

Xiao Yu smiled and put the tea specially prepared for Lin Zufan on the table: "My life is too hard, and the King of Hell is unwilling to accept me, so I will continue to live in the world for two more years."

Lin Zufan also laughed. He looked at the tea brought by Xiao Yu: "You are very good at choosing gifts in Hangzhou. Is this tea probably valuable, right?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars per liang, is it worth the price of Uncle San worth it?"

"Okay! I'll try it right away!" Lin Zufan got up to prepare the tea set.

Xiao Yu took the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment here. Everything was like before. Except for the flower bed that had just been repaired in front of the door, there was no change here.
