But without him, what would I do, Takao Hirano?
Chapter 251, The End of the Road
Of course Iwasaki Kuranosuke is not stupid, he understands the situation in front of him.
The statement of the head of the Yantian family shows that the other core families in Mitsubishi have already reached an agreement with other consortiums.
No wonder the monitoring of Sumitomo's dynamics this time and the layout of the Mori Group have progressed so smoothly.
But now that the picture is poor, they all want the Iwasaki family to be the scapegoat.
"It's been 11 years..." Iwasaki Kuranosuke's eyes passed between Tao Zhiming and Ueda Masahiro, and stared directly at the head of the Yantian family and the head of the Takehara family. Enjoy the benefits of it! If we do this well, we will reach new heights in the coming year. Why? Why do you do this kind of collusion with other people for the sake of the narrow position of president?"
The head of the Yantian Patriarch's face remained calm: "Your method is getting more and more dangerous. We didn't know about it from the beginning. However, when Ueda-kun clearly stated to us that he will fight you to the end, we have to Don’t face this fact. Iwasaki-kun, since you will make a huge miscalculation with Ueda-kun, it means that the mistake was buried at the very beginning. If we don’t choose the current position, the entire Mitsubishi will be led into the abyss by you.”
"Hehe... So, you didn't find out after what happened last night." Iwasaki Kuranosuke sneered, "After all, isn't it because of what I said? Each of you..."
"I think you are the one who likes to be an actor."
What Iwasaki Kuranosuke was about to say was interrupted by him again, his emotions were destroyed, so he turned his head and glared.
"Do you think that there are so many patriarchs today, and everyone is not busy? Do you sit here because you want to listen to your lyricism?" Tao Zhiming squinted at him, "Do you have a nice voice, or are you handsome?"
Iwasaki Kuranosuke was devastated, staring at him and gasping for breath: "You can take care of what's going on now? What kind of thing are you?"
"What am I?" Tao Zhiming smiled, "Look, do you know the difference between us? I really want to make friends, and I think about everyone. Has Master Ueda ever had any contact with me? No, but Ueda-sama has long since accepted me sincerely. I was considered an enemy of the Mori family at the beginning, why is the Mori family willing to stand with me? What am I, you should think about it carefully."
Tao Zhiming waved his hand and made a gesture: "Why do I have more and more friends, why are you deserted now? Look at the left and right sides, are they very scared now? What am I, you think about it carefully." Think about it."
Iwasaki Kuranosuke pursed his lips tightly and took a deep breath. He didn't need to look, he knew that Takao Hirano and Tokuo Suga were about to collapse.
"What am I?" Tao Zhiming smiled casually, "I am a good thing, but you are not."
He pinched his thumb and index finger: "The layout is too small. In your capacity, you actually managed the national railway reform like this. Do you know that only people who can't bring huge benefits to others , I just think about how to care about the existing interests every day. So don’t brag and criticize, if Mitsubishi has not been in your hands for 11 years, maybe today’s achievements are far more than that.”
Iwasaki Kuranosuke's face and eyes were blood red from suffocation, and he was mad with anger.
His contemptuous gesture and eyes of pinching his fingers, and that mocking tone hit the most unquestionable point in Iwasaki Kuranosuke's heart: How could he deny his achievements and ability in the past 11 years like this?What does it mean that it is not in my hands? Mitsubishi's achievements are far more than that?As if it would be better for anyone to do it!
"It is inevitable for you to become this situation now." Tao Zhiming continued to output without mercy, "You are too used to using such disgraceful means to achieve your goals, but people have feelings! Have you been obsessed with interests for too long, so that you feel that after brother Xiufeng and I were almost killed by your bombing, we would still look forward to the future pie you drew? Even with harsh conditions, we can only suppress our dissatisfaction and show gratitude?"
Tao Zhiming looked at Takao Hirano, Tokuo Suga and his guard, and said sarcastically: "Is it the person closest to you who has let you immerse yourself in this emotion for too long, making you think that everyone is like this?" Do you think we would wag our tails happily when we found out that we could be your dog? Even if we were hit hard first, we would still wag our tails?"
After staring at Iwasaki Kuranosuke, Tao Zhiming sneered: "If you are not stupid, then you are crazy. When a few normal people are going to win over future leaders, they must first blow up others. Test the sincerity, luck and ability of others? If you play with fire, you will set yourself on fire. Do you think everyone is doing it for the benefit of the Iwasaki family? No, everyone does not want to see you, a lunatic, continue to stay in such an important position! Stay in that position, you have to It's a normal person!"
Tao Zhiming walked up to him with steady steps, looking down at him who was much taller than him, he said calmly: "Iwasaki Kuranosuke, think about your family's reputation and future. Do you want to continue Struggling like this, or can you wake up a bit now and become a normal person?"
Ueda Masahiro also came over and said calmly: "Oro is right, today's incident is inevitable. In fact, if Otoro hadn't persuaded me, I would have risked my life and beheaded you with my own hands. "
Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked at him right in front of him, his pupils shrank suddenly.
Then he raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "You guys also said that this wasn't a very early plan!"
"Are you really crazy?" Tao Zhiming laughed hahaha, "Are we gods? Can you guess that you, Lord Iwasaki Kuranosuke, would want to blow us up and murder Morijiro?"
"Hehe." Iwasaki Kuranosuke grinned, "Okay, you don't need to create psychological pressure on me anymore. Failure is failure, and there is nothing to say."
Tao Zhiming looked at his expression and raised his eyebrows, why did his mood suddenly change?
Iwasaki Kuranosuke stood up, walked to the partition between the two rooms, looked at the people inside, glanced around and asked, "You guys, have you discussed all the follow-up plans?"
No one answered.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke laughed at himself: "Shiota-kun, Takehara-san, what if I must resist?"
"Iwasaki-kun, Mr. Iwasaki founded Mitsubishi back then, and it has been passed down to this day. Now overseas capital is coming aggressively. At such a critical moment, do you hope that Mitsubishi can only become a name in history?"
Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked at the youngest person in this room but kept silent all the time, and asked with a smile, "Matsuyong-kun, what is it that you have to witness?"
"...Sorry, Iwasaki-san." The man bowed his head, then straightened his body and said, "But I believe that the Iwasaki family will get better and better."
Iwasaki Kuranosuke smiled: "Is anyone from our Iwasaki family here? Where is it?"
There was silence in the room for a while, and then a person opened the door and came in, looking directly at him.
"Ryunosuke?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke smiled when he saw him, "Is it you who everyone chose?"
The 30-year-old Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked at him and bowed, and said calmly, "Master Patriarch."
"Patriarch? No, no, no...you are the patriarch they chose..." Iwasaki Kuranosuke mocked and pointed at these people in the room.
But Ryunosuke Iwasaki bowed to everyone, and then said, "I'm sorry."
It seems to be apologizing for Iwasaki Kuranosuke.
"Iwasaki-kun, how to solve this matter, please take a seat!"
There were still three vacant seats in the room inside, but the one they invited was not Iwasaki Kuranosuke, as if he Iwasaki Kuranosuke did not exist.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke suddenly remembered what Tao Dalang said just now: Without you, it is very important to everyone.
"Are you kidding... What are you kidding... What are you kidding!" Kuranosuke Iwasaki was furious, "Even if you want to keep the puppet of the Iwasaki family, why don't you tell me in detail what you are going to do to my family?" What things do you want me to succumb to? What are you kidding!!!”
Iwasaki Ryunosuke walked up to him slowly, and said calmly: "The Iwasaki family is not being treated as a puppet. Kuranosuke, you should wake up. You should think about how to help me and protect the Iwasaki family better, no? ?"
"That's my responsibility! Mine!" Iwasaki Kuranosuke grabbed his shirt, "How many things have you experienced? Can you have the talent and stamina to protect the Iwasaki family?"
Iwasaki Ryunosuke's calm eyes gradually softened, and he said softly, "Trust me, brother."
The eyes of the two brothers intertwined, conveying information.
Iwasaki Ryunosuke said solemnly: "You should know how difficult the situation is. Brother, let me go on a better path."
Iwasaki Kuranosuke's eyes gradually dimmed.
He slowly let go of his hand, and after looking at the people in the room again, his eyes sharpened: "Is this just my personal enmity with them?"
"That's why we need their understanding on this matter!" Patriarch Yantian said solemnly, "This is your personal behavior, and it cannot affect the entire Mitsubishi!"
"Sure enough, I'm still very important to Mitsubishi." Iwasaki Kuranosuke grinned.
Afterwards, he turned around and came out from the inside, his eyes glanced over Ueda Masahiro, Mori Yakichiro, Kinoshita Hidekaze, and finally stayed on Tao Zhiming's face: "Four, please stand together."
"Master Iwasaki!" His guard couldn't help standing up while supporting the table.
Takao Hirano and Tokuo Suga looked defeated, guessing what he was going to do.
Mori Taikichiro restrained his excitement and stood up, Kinoshita Hidekaze also widened his eyes, unable to believe that he gave in like this.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "I, Iwasaki Kuranosuke, will be responsible for the many incidents that were done by Mitsubishi in the past out of personal interests! Now, I will The position of head of the Iwasaki family is handed over to my younger brother Iwasaki Ryunosuke!"
There is no ceremony, no explanation, only the testimony of everyone present.
"Now, in my personal name, I, Iwasaki Kuranosuke, I would like to sincerely apologize to the four of you. This is my sincere attitude!"
Iwasaki Kuranosuke fell to the ground with one knee first, and then quickly knelt down with his teeth gritted. His head, which was high above the ground before, fell to the ground: "To everyone! I am very sorry for the trouble you have caused!"
There was silence in the room, his guard sat down limply, and Takao Hirano stuck his fingers into the hair entangledly, grasping in pain.
Ruined.
And Iwasaki Kuranosuke breathed heavily, and it took him a long time to raise his head.
He knew it wasn't over yet.
But the attitude these people need has been seen.
He Iwasaki Kuranosuke gave up his resistance to this general trend, for the future of the Iwasaki family.
But he knows that they need themselves today and never leave here again.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke smiled desolately: "It's decent..."
Sumitomo Naruya and Mitsui Shinichiro looked at each other with emotion and then stood up: "Atsushi, you guys leave first. Next, we have to discuss how to deal with the aftermath."
Kinoshita Hidekaze moved his feet first, but none of the three of them moved, so Kinoshita Hidekaze moved his feet back.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke's dignity was shattered, and he knelt there blankly.
After a while, Ueda Masahiro handed over the knife in front of him, and said calmly: "You should have awakened, right?"
Kinoshita Xiufeng was taken aback, and looked at Tao Zhiming.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice, "Of course."
Then, he slowly took the knife in his hand.After slowly looking at it for a long time, he raised his head to look at Tao Zhiming, and said, "You are too tall."
Tao Zhiming laughed dumbfounded, and invited him to the table where he was sitting at the beginning.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke propped up the floor with the scabbard, and walked over there calmly.
At this moment, Sumitomo Naruya and Mitsui Shinichiro had already entered the room over there, and closed the door again.
And here, except for Tao Zhiming and the four of them, everyone else left first.
After Iwasaki Kuranosuke sat down quietly, he first said to Mori Taikichiro: "Do you want to see my last ugly appearance?"
Sen Taijiro glanced at him wistfully, and said softly: "You are indeed a lunatic."
Then, he left first.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked at Kinoshita Hidekaze again: "Why do you play with him when it's such a dangerous thing?"
Kinoshita Hidekaze was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Actually, if Dalang didn't exist, you would have shot at me, right?"
Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded calmly: "But it has nothing to do with my question."
"Related, this is not playing with him, this is the future path I choose." Kinoshita Hidekaze said seriously, putting away her smile.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded: "I have some questions, I want to ask Ueda-kun and Tao-kun alone."
Kinoshita Hidekaze sighed: "I want to hear it."
"...Whatever." Iwasaki Kuranosuke stared at Tao Zhiming for a long time, and then asked, "What if I didn't arrange for someone to assassinate you to make the situation clearer?"
Tao Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "There are no assumptions in life."
Iwasaki Kuranosuke smiled: "Yes, but you are indeed a lunatic. Now, you have also chosen your future path."
Tao Zhiming understood what he was talking about, and having participated in such an event, how would his existence be viewed by other big financial groups?
"I said, I'm a good thing." Tao Zhiming smiled casually, "I don't have the heart to harm others, but I have the heart to guard against others. I think more and more people will like me."
"So, how are things going to end now?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke asked.
Tao Zhiming said relaxedly: "Those have nothing to do with us. In short, we just want the suspicion to be cleared, and Ueda-sama just wants no more guilt in his heart."
Iwasaki Kuranosuke stared at him deeply: "Didn't you want to benefit from taking such a big risk and spending so long?"
"Some things, if you insist on fighting, you will make mistakes. If you don't fight, it will happen naturally." Tao Zhiming smiled slightly, "This is my wisdom."
Iwasaki Kuranosuke understood and nodded suddenly.
"Ueda-kun, you didn't bring Wakizawa, did you?"
Ueda Masahiro shook his head silently.
"...Unfortunately, it's not decent enough." Iwasaki Kuranosuke slowly drew out the knife, looking at himself reflected on the blade, he was a little stunned for a while.
But why did everything I did not succeed this time?
Iwasaki Kuranosuke was a little puzzled, so he murmured, "Tao Dalang, where did I make a mistake this time?"
Tao Zhiming thought for a while, then said, "Probably this is fate."
"So, in fact, you didn't expect to win?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke laughed at himself, and then looked at him with bright eyes: "The plan you told me was actually your own idea. Or did those guys like Sumitomo Narumi come up with it?"
Tao Zhiming didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
There is a long table on one side, separated by two sides.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke raised the long knife, admiring its texture, and his eyes were full of love: "The appearance of that plan after the success is exactly the fruit that I, Iwasaki Kuranosuke is entitled to enjoy because of my status! It happens to be a little bit more attractive than I thought before, and it only costs a small price..."
A wooden door separates the inside and the outside.
Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked deeply at Tao Zhiming, and then shouted deeply: "Ryunosuke! Remember your words, guard! Attack, be careful!"
Then, he suddenly crossed the knife and wiped it vigorously across his throat without any hesitation.
Only those who have created so much despair for others clearly know that the road ahead is the end of the road.
The name here is: Zhanyue.
Now that the moon has been cut off, the stars will shine brightly afterwards.
