Half an hour later...
Inside the supposed mastermind's house.
"What? Tanaka Haraichi is dead? How is that possible? I just spoke with him on the phone."
"He died right after you hung up the phone."
"Then why didn't you call me sooner? Have you caught the people involved?"
"No, we haven't..."
"Fools, it must be that girl from the Muren family causing trouble. You must find out who killed Tanaka Haraichi immediately."
"Yes, sir..."
After hanging up the phone, the mastermind was quite unsettled, pacing back and forth in the room. Feeling irritated, he had a glass of red wine but realized it wasn't the best idea, so he immediately called the bodyguards downstairs.
He had ordered someone to kill Bai Xue but failed, so Bai Xue would surely retaliate. Since Tanaka Haraichi had already fallen into their hands, he must be extra cautious himself.
"Hello, tell everyone to stay alert during this period. No sleeping during night shifts, or they'll be fired."
"Yes, boss..."
