Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 237 Taking the initiative to intervene in the dispute
Fujiwara Masato didn't know the story behind Masaki Aiko's phone call, but from this call, he successfully realized that Uehara Kazuto was in a state of panic.

This is very strange, because of the power of the Uehara family and the old fox who controls this power... Once Uehara Shintaro takes action, the things that Uehara Kazuto encountered will at most waste some of his time and money, and are far from being so embarrassing.

Although it was strange, Fujiwara Masato didn't think much about it. He used a satellite phone to signal Inoshita Daisuke to continue with his revenge plan step by step.

Daisuke Inoshita begins trying to contact Uehara Rui.

It is easy to do this because ever since the last assassination, Uehara Rui has been fond of going to the J Hotel of Hearts. Whenever she stays in Tokyo, she will definitely stay here, and her daily meals are also taken care of in the J Hotel of Hearts.

Because the Red Heart J Hotel is really safe. Not to mention the security, even the waiters are not recruited from outside. They are all members of the poker organization. The chefs are foreigners who do not understand Japanese and never leave the hotel unless necessary.

This basically eliminates the possibility of outsiders wanting to poison or assassinate passengers.

After the safety of the Red Heart J Hotel was personally verified by Uehara Rui, the hotel's business has been getting better day by day. The high price of the hotel is nothing in the eyes of the rich. All they want is safety.

When many wealthy people from other places or gangsters come to Tokyo for business, if they have a choice, they will successfully choose the Red Heart J Hotel, which leads to the hotel quickly breaking even.

This is called the star effect.

Thanks to this, Minako Nakazaki was tactful enough to give Uehara Rui a VIP card. With this card, the latter can stay at the Red Heart J Hotel for free.

When Daisuke Inoshita wanted to contact Uehara Rui, the latter happened to be living in the presidential suite of Red Heart Jack.

In Japan, a modern feudal society, it is very troublesome for strangers to meet each other. It is even more troublesome, especially when the identity of one of the parties involved, Uehara Rui, is very special and she is not an ordinary person.

Inoshita Daisuke did not dare to neglect it. He first wrote a visiting card by hand, which contained thousands of words in Japanese. There were many honorifics and polite words, but the core meaning was only a few dozen words...

I, a cadre of the poker organization, 4 of Clubs, would like to meet with Uehara Rui in three days. The time and place are up to you. If you do not refuse, please reply to let me know. If it is inconvenient, I am sorry to bother you.

Then, Daisuke Jingxia used his cadre authority to ask the hotel waiter to help deliver the letter.

In response, Uehara Rui also wrote a letter back, agreeing to meet at the Red Heart J Cafe at 8 o'clock in the evening three days later.

……

Three days later, at 7:50, Daisuke Inoshita showed up in the coffee shop of the Red Heart J Hotel. According to the rules of the visit, he arrived at the meeting place ten minutes in advance.

At this time, the Red Heart J Cafe had been cleared out in advance for tonight's meeting and was no longer open to the public.

After eight o'clock, Uehara Rui also walked in on time with two bodyguards. Seeing this, Ioshita Daisuke, who was already seated, hurriedly stood up, bowed sixty degrees to greet her, and took the initiative to lower his status.

After a simple meeting ceremony that showed the status of both parties, the two sides formally sat down on both sides of a five-meter-long table.

Sitting at such a far distance from each other, and with the presence of bodyguards behind Inoshita Daisuke and Uehara Rui, basically no one would think that the two were dating in a cafe. Instead, it looked more like two gangster bosses negotiating in a cafe.

"I'm very sorry to bother you tonight. It's mainly because I have a mission and I have to contact you. I apologize for the inconvenience."

"So, it was my brother's idea that you came to see me today?"

Before coming to the cafe, Uehara Rui had also made similar guesses, and she had also heard about what had happened recently between her uncle and the poker organization.

But she didn't know what exactly happened. She just knew that her uncle was a little irritable and suspected that he had a conflict with the poker organization. The reason for the conflict was unknown.

Therefore, during this period of time, Uehara Rui did not dare to return to Uehara Manor. Although that place was her home, due to some things, it was really not safe at the moment.

Many times, a fatal knife attack does not come from the front.

"Hey, this is indeed the task the boss gave me."

"what's up."

"The boss wants to support you to become the head of the Uehara family."

"What!?"

Inoshita Daisuke's straightforward answer scared Uehara Rui so much that she almost dropped the coffee cup in her hand.

"What does it mean?"

She asked hurriedly.

"Literally, Miss Uehara, my boss wants you to become the head of the Uehara family."

Inoshita Daisuke said this very sincerely, and then he spent more than twenty minutes introducing to Uehara Ruei in detail the root cause of the conflict between the Poker Organization and Uehara Kazuto, letting the latter know the main reason for the boss's plan.

"The boss doesn't want to be stabbed in the back by his allies while doing things, so we urgently need stability, and Ms. Uehara is a very suitable candidate in the boss's opinion."

Uehara Rui seemed to be thinking about something, and she had to admit that she was tempted by this matter because she was really qualified to inherit the Uehara family, and she felt that she had no shortcomings in terms of ability. However, there were a few doubts that Uehara Rui still needed to clarify.

"Why did you choose me? As part of the Uehara family, Masato-kun could have taken the top position as well."

"You need to call and ask in person. This kind of thing is not something that a subordinate like me can know."

Daisuke Inoshita respectfully pushed a piece of paper across the table, on which was written Fujiwara Masato's current satellite phone number.

Uehara Ryu picked up the note and took a look at it, then asked her bodyguard to take out her satellite phone in front of Ishita Daisuke and start dialing a number.

"Masato-kun, it's me." Uehara Rui, who was a little anxious, didn't care about telephone etiquette. After Fujiwara Masato answered the call, she immediately asked for the answer she wanted to know.

"Why don't you want to be the head of the Yuan family?"

"I don't want to be one, and I can't be one. The poker organization has its own rules. I'm the head of the Tokyo branch. There are many things I can't tell you, sister..."

Fujiwara Masato's voice was a little strange when he answered the phone, but he still told Uehara Rue very sincerely that he had thought about the reason for a long time, and the real reason was trouble. The Uehara family is an interest group connected by blood ties. It doesn't mean that if you become the head of the family, you will become an emperor and can do whatever you want. To really control this group, you have to spend a lot of energy to plan etiquette, win over factions, and cultivate subordinates within the family.

All in all, it is extremely troublesome, ten times more troublesome than setting up a second poker organization.

If he had any choice, why would Fujiwara Masato jump into this mud pit? Even if there were gold bars underneath the mud pit, there was no need for him to jump into the pit himself. Wouldn't it be better to support an agent?
Uehara Rui is the agent chosen by Fujiwara Masato. However, although she is an agent, he doesn't care whether she will be out of control after she takes the position... As long as she doesn't cause trouble, it's better to talk about interests for other matters.

Uehara Ruei believed what Fujiwara no Masato said.

As an adult and an elite member of a large family, Uehara Rui also has her own judgment and information channels. She is very sure that her half-brother has never thought about the position of the leader of the Uehara family.

Not to mention some of the internal rules of the poker organization that Uehara Rui was not aware of, judging from her behavior, she felt that her brother did not have such an idea.

The latter is not in Japan at all now. You want to run for the position of head of the family. How can you leave Tokyo at this critical moment?
"Sister Liuyi, tell me, has something happened to the Uehara family? Why did Uehara Kazuto suddenly attack me? Although I do have the right of succession, I should be ranked very low in the order of succession. As long as there are no accidents, I should not be a threat, right?"

Fujiwara Masato asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time. Uehara Rui, who was holding the phone, hesitated. She knew a possible reason that might have caused this incident, but she was hesitant whether to say it.

After thinking it over again and again, Uehara Liuyi gritted her teeth and decided that since they were allies, she had to show some sincerity since she had nothing to trade.

"According to a report from a subordinate I arranged in Uehara Manor, our grandfather was very likely ill some time ago... The position of the head of the family will most likely be transferred soon."

"real!?"

On the yacht, Fujiwara Masato straightened his back in the beach chair. This action affected Inoshita Keiko who was eating ice cream, and the latter immediately let out a dissatisfied look.

"Do not be like that……"

"It's true." Uehara Rui ignored the strange voice on the other end of the phone and answered very seriously.

"The position of president of the Chiba Prefecture Agricultural Association is being re-elected. Our uncle is busy with this matter, but the trouble in Tokyo seems to have forced him to be distracted."

Oh no, so Daisuke Inoshita's revenge plan hit the mark unexpectedly, and hit Kazuto Uehara's vital point, making him suffer excruciating pain.

If Shintaro Uehara really fell down, then many things that happened during this period would be explained and the timing would match. It was just that Shintaro Uehara's fall was too sudden, which made Fujiwara Masato feel a sense of unreality.

"Masato-kun, what are your plans now?"

Uehara Rue asked.

"There is no plan. You make your own plan. I will support you, whether it's manpower or money."

"I see. I'll find out the news and contact you later."

"Well, that's it."

After saying this, Fujiwara Masato hung up the phone.

After putting down her phone, Uehara Ryui closed her eyes and began to think about something.

Seeing this, Daisuke Jingxia did not dare to make a sound to disturb her. Instead, he held his breath, sat there motionless, and waited quietly for Uehara Rui.

After waiting for a few minutes, Uehara Rui finally figured out some things. After she came to her senses, she stood up and walked out of the cafe without looking back, without saying hello to Inoshita Daisuke.

It may seem a little impolite, but Inoshita Daisuke doesn't mind at all. How can a lower-ranking person ask a higher-ranking person to be polite to him?
After the meeting in the cafe, Uehara Rui continued to stay in the Red Heart J Hotel, but she contacted her subordinates and supporters within the family through mobile phones, the Internet, and messengers.

Uehara Rui began to take the initiative to inquire about the family's internal intelligence and intervene in this battle for succession.

Within the Uehara family, there are not many people who can compete with Uehara Kazuto for the position. Fujiwara Masato is one of them, and Uehara Rui can only be considered half a person in the eyes of the former.

Now that Fujiwara Masato has left Japan, although this has caused considerable trouble to Uehara Kazuto, it has also successfully made the latter relax his vigilance. Therefore, although a little uncomfortable, Uehara Kazuto did not continue to cause trouble for the poker organization.

On the one hand, Sora was unwilling to take action, and on the other hand, Uehara Kazuto did not want to continue to provoke Fujiwara Masato... Of course, if he knew about Fujiwara Masato's support plan, this cheap uncle would definitely change his mind.

Without Uehara Kazuto being too wary, Uehara Ryue's subordinates quickly found out some useful information.

First, as the head of the family, Shintaro Uehara has not appeared in front of other non-core family members for a long time.

Several famous doctors and nurses from Tokyo Hospital came to visit Uehara Manor before, and they have not left until now. Except for Uehara Kazuto's subordinates, no one knows where they are in Uehara Manor and what they are doing.

Second, Uehara Kazuto knew the Nine of Clubs, a cadre of the poker organization, and preliminary judgment showed that they were friends. Recently, some paparazzi in Tokyo took photos of them meeting in public.

The first piece of information was expected, and obtaining it now only confirmed Uehara Ryou's previous speculation.

The second piece of information made Uehara Rui a little panicked. The poker organization led by her adopted brother was her most important ally at the moment. They had been infiltrated, which was not good news.

Uehara Rui hurriedly called Fujiwara Masato's satellite phone and informed him of the news.

"Oh, thank you very much for your information. I will keep an eye on this matter."

After politely thanking and hanging up the phone, Fujiwara Masato, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, opened the system. Looking at the loyalty value of Taniguchi Kotaro which neither increased nor decreased, he suddenly thought of something.

It seems that Meihuajiu said before that he would investigate the incident in which the police from the branch went to the Joker Pharmaceuticals to smash and loot, but he has not given me a result until now, and I also "forgot" to tell him about the Uehara family and did not ask him to stop.

So, after all this time, did Kotaro Taniguchi find out anything?

Fujiwara Masato began to doubt whether the loyalty value in the system's subordinate interface was reliable?

Need to test it.
