Chapter 1229: Soft-Hearted
Although the Shinkansen was slower than high-speed rail, it was still considered one of the fastest trains around.
After the incident where a carriage had become infected, perhaps because everyone had become more vigilant and the protective measures had improved, nothing else happened along the way.
The train's rerouting had also gone smoothly. After five silent hours, they finally arrived in Tokyo!
Tokyo station was packed with guards.
It seemed that not only the police had been mobilized—security personnel and even gang members had been called into action.
After witnessing the pathetic performance of those Self-Defense Forces soldiers on the train, almost everyone had subconsciously realized that gang members might actually be more reliable...
The news had already been put under control, and the station screens were filled with warning notices.
Everyone had to undergo inspection one by one to see whether they had been infected. No one, including Xu Yue, was exempt.
After the inspections were finished, several Self-Defense Forces members came directly over to their group.
"All young and able-bodied men, step out! These are extraordinary times. Everyone has to work. We don't feed idlers here!"
"Uh, I don't need you to feed me. I have business in Chukashiro City. You carry on."
Xu Yue raised a hand in dismissal, leaving the Self-Defense Forces officer who had spoken utterly dumbfounded.
Inspector Tanaka hurried forward at once and whispered something into the officer's ear, making the officer's face darken completely.
"Hmph! Chink, get the hell out of here!"
In peacetime, even if he had thoughts like that, he would never have dared say them to someone like Xu Yue.
But at a time like this, he no longer had any scruples.
He looked at Xu Yue provocatively, fully savoring the pleasure of humiliating a wealthy man.
