Chapter 1003 Never Compromise
The atmosphere became extremely tense again, and the confrontation between the two sides seemed to have reached a critical point. Lingjiang Xu and the guards of Fujita Trading Company all held their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any possible conflict at any time.
The unpolished jade people were on high alert, with grim looks in their eyes.
At this moment, San Yangzhong spoke again, his voice filled with urgency and pleading. "Everyone, please listen to me. What happened tonight has been a big enough incident, and we cannot let the situation escalate further. As a cabinet minister, I guarantee that I will handle this matter fairly and impartially. Please believe me, and believe in the fairness of the law."
His words seemed to have some effect, and the confrontation between the two sides eased slightly.
But even so, the air was still filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, as if a fierce conflict could break out again at any time.
Asanogawa's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He slowly turned to Sanyang Zhong, and his voice was full of unquestionable majesty: "Lord Sanyang, you should be very clear about how much the Prime Minister attaches importance to this matter. Fujita Ying, as the biggest suspect at present, not only did he not cooperate with our investigation, but he also violently resisted law enforcement. If this behavior were to get to the Prime Minister's ears, I'm afraid you would be implicated as well."
Sanyang Zhong was shocked when he heard this. He knew the Prime Minister's temper and methods very well. If the matter got out of hand, he would be in trouble. He thought to himself that Asano Gawa was right. If the matter was brought to the Prime Minister's attention, he would suffer a lot.
For a moment, Sanyangzhong's expression became solemn. He began to weigh the pros and cons and look for the best response strategy.
"Mr. Asano, I understand your concerns." Sanyang Zhong's voice was filled with compromise and helplessness. "But Fujita Ying is the heir of the Fujita family after all. His safety is directly related to the stability and future of the Fujita family. If we take him away by force, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."
Asanogawa sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "Trouble? Humph, if the Fujita family really falls apart because of this incident, it can only mean that there are problems with their internal management. And we, Pu Yu, are just fulfilling our duties to maintain the security and stability of the country."
San Yangzhong took a deep breath. He knew that at this moment, he had to stand up and act as a mediator between the two parties.
Sanyang Zhong turned and looked at Fujita Ying: "Mr. Ying, I understand your position and concerns. But please believe that I will do my best to protect your rights. If the stalemate continues now, once the two sides really come into conflict, it will not only have serious consequences for you personally, but also have a serious impact on the entire Fujita family. Please think twice."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Fujita Ying's eyes. He stared at Sanyangzhong, struggling fiercely in his heart.
At this moment, his deputy Xiao Lin leaned close to his ear with an anxious look and said in a very low voice: "Mr. Ying, you have to think twice. The Uncut Jade Facility is a place that is difficult to get out of once you enter. I heard that people inside will be tortured inhumanely, and all kinds of means will be used to the extreme. Now San Yangzhong's words are nice, but if his words have no effect after entering, then we will be really finished. If we are really tortured, we will never be able to clear our name even if we jump into the Yellow River."
Kobayashi's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Fujita Ying's heart hard. He couldn't help but think of the rumors about the unpolished jade mechanism, those stories about cruel methods and torture, each of which made him shudder.
Those horrible images began to appear in Fujita Ying's mind, and he couldn't help but shudder. Yes, Kobayashi was right. What if Pu Yu wanted to frame the Fujita family for this matter? Wouldn't he be used as a scapegoat?
Thinking of this, Fujita Ying's eyes became firm. He shook his head slowly: "Master Sanyang, I appreciate your kindness. But I can't just follow Pu Yu's people. What if they really want to torture me into confessing? Where is my innocence? Where is the honor of the Fujita family?"
Seeing this, Asanogawa's face darkened instantly. He said coldly: "Fujita Ying, are you challenging our patience? It seems that you are going to drink the wine for punishment if you refuse our toast." His voice was full of threats, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
Seeing this, Sanyang Zhong became even more impatient and continued to persuade him: "Fujita Ying, calm down. I promise that as long as you are willing to cooperate with the investigation, the people of Pu Yu will never use any illegal means against you. I am also a cabinet minister, and my words still carry some weight. Moreover, if you are really wronged, I will do my best to redress your grievances. However, if you continue to resist law enforcement like this, it is really unreasonable."
Fujita Ying listened to Sanyang Zhong's words, but his heart was full of doubts. He knew very well that in this vortex of power struggle, any promise might become a piece of empty paper. Moreover, he had heard about the methods of the Uncut Jade Organization. Once he got in, it would be really difficult to get out.
"Master Sanyang, of course I believe in your promise." Fujita Ying's voice was filled with helplessness and bitterness, "But I can't just leave my fate to others. I must ensure my own safety and ensure that the honor of the Fujita family is not tarnished. Therefore, I can't follow Pu Yu's people."
Asanogawa sneered, "Fujita Ying, I'll give you one last chance. If the Pu Yu headquarters doesn't get our report within half an hour, I can guarantee that more people will come. By then, all the consequences will be borne by you, Fujita Ying. You should be aware of our Pu Yu's methods and capabilities, so don't let yourself reach a point where you can't recover."
A hint of determination flashed in Fujita Ying's eyes, and he met Asanogawa's gaze without flinching: "Asanogawa, I, Fujita Ying, have never easily compromised with anyone in my life. Today's matter is even more so. If Pu Yu really wants to frame you, then I, Fujita Ying, will not let you succeed even if I risk my life."
Seeing this, San Yangzhong hurriedly prepared to persuade again, hoping to calm the storm.
However, at this moment, Xiao Lin suddenly stood up, his voice filled with anger and disdain: "Sanyang Zhong, you old thing, you usually get so many benefits from the Fujita family, but at the critical moment, you are of no use at all. If we really listen to you and follow the people of Pu Yu, then we will really be finished. People like you are not trustworthy at all."
Xiao Lin's words were like a sharp knife, piercing San Yang Zhong's heart. San Yang Zhong was shocked and angry, his face turned livid in an instant, and he shouted angrily with a trembling voice: "Xiao Lin, you ignorant fellow, how dare you talk to me like this. I warn you, don't think you can say whatever you want just because you are a little smart."
However, Xiao Lin did not back down because of San Yang Zhong's scolding. He looked at San Yang Zhong coldly and continued, "San Yang Zhong, don't use your status to pressure me. Although I, Xiao Lin, am not a big shot, I also know what is justice and what is fairness. If Pu Yu really wants to wrongly accuse Lord Fujita, then I would rather die here with Lord Fujita than let you succeed."
When Fujita Ying heard this, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Xiaolin deeply, then turned to Sanyang Zhong and said, "Lord Sanyang, I appreciate your kindness. However, as Xiaolin said, I can't just follow the unpolished jade. I want to ensure my innocence and ensure that the honor of the Fujita family is not tarnished. So, please stop persuading me."
