Counterattack!?
After Scout agreed, the four of them followed Hoshiguma and her group out the door.
Hoshiguma arranged for the Guard Department personnel to block off the entrances and exits of the nearby slums before driving the four of them to a villa.
"Goodness, this villa isn't cheap... Is it Old Chen's private residence or Sister Shi's place to stay?"
After getting off the car and looking at the villa's gate, Suika could think of only two people in Lungmen City who could afford to live in a villa and Hoshiguma knew and could borrow.
"What 'Sister Shi'? My surname Swire, okay? You can call me either Swire or Beatrix, it's fine with you!"
The little tiger's voice came from not far away, sounding somewhat speechless.
"Isn't that just not authentically Lungmen style? Long time no see, Swire!"
Seeing the blonde beauty approaching, Suika reached out and waved.
Swire walked over to Suika and pinched her cheek.
"You're a natural troublemaker."
He didn't come back at all, but when he did, he made a name for himself.
I don't recall ever seeing the entire Guard Department mobilized like this more than a few times in my memory.
"It's not my fault, it's all the world's fault. If it wasn't her, then it's Tokiomi's fault." Suika said, indicating that she wouldn't take the blame.
After all, she didn't want to be a troublemaker.
"World? Tokiomi? What the hell!" Swire naturally didn't understand Suika's joke, but she still let go.
"This villa is my private residence. You and your friends can stay here without worry during this period of time; you won't be disturbed."
"And just two blocks away is the back entrance of the Guard Department; you know what would happen if we encountered danger."
Swire pointed to the way she had come from and said.
"You're here. I'll leave this to you now. I'll go back to work." Hoshiguma said goodbye and left upon seeing Swire's arrival.
Suika let Scout and Misha go inside first. After seeing Hoshiguma off, she stood at the door and chatted with Swire.
"Thank you for your help."
"This is no trouble at all. Compared to how you helped Elisa in Victoria, he told me everything." Swire smiled sweetly at Suika Xiang.
"That was Elisa's own achievement. I just mentioned it casually. If it weren't for her skills, she wouldn't have been able to do this." Suika was quite self-aware.
There wasn't much Victoria could do. If it weren't for Elisa's skillful methods, which allowed her to lead the Swire Clan people to willingly evacuate from Londinium, even if Victoria slapped Sarkaz in the face, given the Victoria's feelings for Londinium, no one would be willing to leave.
After all, based on what she knew, even though Sarkaz openly appeared in the city of Londinium, you didn't see many people in the city running away.
"But didn't you save her life later?"
After Swire finished speaking, he looked around and, finding no one nearby, continued...
"This matter is far from simple. Governor Wei was in a rage when I arrived, and it's likely that quite a few people are involved."
"Ah, it's not just our side that was attacked?" Suika exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course not, the entire slum is in turmoil, otherwise why would I say that the Guard Department has been almost entirely mobilized?"
Before I arrived, I saw the Rat King enter the Governor's Mansion, and he was covered in blood. This must be something serious."
Swire whispered to Suika.
"But that doesn't make sense either. I'm sure those guys who stopped me weren't just rioting aimlessly; they had a very clear purpose."
After recalling her experiences in the slums, Suika said with certainty.
"Are you sure?" Swire frowned after hearing Swire.
"Of course, if it were indiscriminate, then after I dealt with that initial group and realized that Scout and I were not to be trifled with, those people should have gone after other weaker individuals instead of constantly coming to swarm and kill Scout and me."
After hearing Suika's account of the slums Swire's brow furrowed even deeper.
"So, this isn't just a simple riot; there's a mastermind behind it... This information you've given me is very important; I need to go back and report."
"Their objective is very clear: me and Scout. I suspect it's related to Ursus."
Suika reminded Swire something as he was about to leave.
Because in her mind, this period of time was related to her and Scout, and the fact that they were able to cause such a big commotion to surround and kill her was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
However, the opponent underestimated his own fighting strength; if it were someone else, his plan might have actually succeeded.
Chapter 382 Counterattack!?
On the other side
Inside the Governor's Mansion
Wei Yenwu and Lin Ge Rui were discussing the matter.
"You said your people discovered on the other side that Suika and that Rhodes Island person were also attacked?"
Lin Ge Rui took out a piece of intelligence.
"According to my information, the two of them went there to retrieve weapons that the Rhodes Island personnel had sent there for maintenance."
This happened after I went out.
"Do you think this matter is related to them?" Wei Yenwu looked at the Rat King not far away.
"I don't know, but isn't it too much of a coincidence?" Lin Ge Rui didn't answer directly, but his meaning was clear: this was definitely not a simple gang riot.
Just then, the phone in front of Wei Yenwu rang, and the two people who were talking stopped.
After finishing the call, Wei Yenwu looked at Lin Ge Rui.
"Old Lin, you're right, there are quite a few people involved behind this..."
The Guard Department sent word, obtained from Suika, that those people were deliberately trying to kill her and the Rhodes Island operators.
That's why she deliberately made a big fuss about it.
"So, those riots were to stop me... to create such a huge commotion just to kill that girl?"
"This loss is too great!"
Lin Ge Rui realized it immediately, but precisely because of that, he felt it was unlikely.
After all, turning so many gangs against their will at once would require a considerable amount of resources and the number of informants previously deployed.
In his view, this investment and effort were completely disproportionate.
"If only one company participates, then this investment is indeed a losing proposition."
But what if there's more than one company involved?
As Wei Yenwu spoke, intelligence reports were passed into his hands from the darkness.
"Not just the Ursus people? That Miss Suika has quite a few enemies!"
Lin Ge Rui thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Hmph, the planners, the participants, the troublemakers, the opportunists, the instigators... Interesting, very interesting..."
You've been in Lungmen for so many years, and these demons and monsters haven't made a move.
But when a tiny creature arrived, they all sprang to life.
They really don't take me, the governor, seriously."
Wei Yenwu threw the intelligence report in front of Lin Ge Rui.
Lin Ge Rui's pupils contracted after taking a look.
"How long do you need?" Wei Yenwu picked up his pipe and tapped it on the table.
"If it were just a slum, I could resolve this today, but with others involved... I'll need three days."
"Then I'll give you three days..."
The stability of Lungmen must be consolidated...
After all, neither of us wants to hand over Lungmen to the next generation as a mess, right?
After Wei Yenwu finished speaking, he lit a tobacco leaf, and soon the smoke filled the room.
Lin Ge Rui stood up and swayed as he walked out the door.
Here, Suika walked into the villa.
Scout looked at her
"Things don't seem to be very stable here in Lungmen."
"With such a large and successful business, there must be many people who are envious."
However, Wei Yenwu is no saint. He's caused such a commotion in Lungmen; it's likely that the next few days will see a real bloodbath Lungmen."
At this moment, Suika looked outside and seemed quite happy.
Now that she and her companions were safe, she was ready to stir things up; after all, simply taking a beating without fighting back was not in her nature.
As for who the opponent is?
Where are they? That's not important.
As long as he's in Lungmen, these things will definitely not be kept from Wei Yenwu.
Moreover, the fact that the other party made such a big fuss is just a blatant slap in the face to Wei Yenwu, the Governor of Lungmen.
So as long as she keeps an eye on Wei Yenwu, the mastermind behind this will naturally be found with his help.
What do you want to do?
Scout, sensing Suika's thoughts, tried to stop her.
Just as Suika was about to speak, she saw a slender figure.
"Wait a moment, I'm going out for a bit."
"Well..."
Before Scout and Misha could react, Suika had already disappeared from the house.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!" Seeing the woman about to turn the corner, Suika had no choice but to use the legendary, top-tier Pause Method that contained the law of causality.
"Huh?" The woman was startled when she saw Suika suddenly appear in front of her.
"May I bother you for a moment?" Suika, opening her arms to indicate that she posed no threat to the somewhat suspicious woman.
"Who are you, and why are you stopping me?" the woman asked warily, taking two steps back.
"My name is Suika, Ibuki Suika. I'm a friend of Chen Hui-chieh and Swire."
A glint of light flashed in the woman's eyes after hearing the three names Suika mentioned.
"You're Ibuki Suika? What are you doing here?"
Suika pointed to the villa not far away.
"I brought some friends here for a short stay; they're staying in this villa that Beatrix lent me."
"That guy was willing to lend you this villa, so it seems like you two are really close."
But what does that have to do with me?
The woman nodded Suika recounted the attack on her group and the information she had received from Swire.
"You are the daughter of the Rat King. I bet your father and Governor Wei will not let this go so easily after such a big commotion."
"I also want to find the mastermind behind this, so I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate." The woman who was stopped by Suika was none other than Lin Yuhsia, the only daughter of the Rat King.
"How do you want to collaborate?" Lin Yuhsia asked Suika.
"My strength is still decent, so if the Rat King is going to take action, I hope to get involved."
Then Suika shared her opinion.
"After all, this matter seems to have something to do with me, and since others have already crossed me, wouldn't it make me look incompetent if I didn't fight back?"
Lin Yuhsia nodded, then exchanged phone numbers with Suika before disappearing into the street.
"What is her relationship with that Rat King?"
Back at the villa, Scout was standing on the balcony packing up his weapons.
"Oh, you can tell?"
