In just one hour, three deputy directors and the financial supervisor of the First Pharmaceutical Factory were arrested. The factory director escaped a similar fate by not showing up.
Bai Gou sat in the car, feeling a bit frustrated. He had planned to get four people, but one hadn't shown up.
"Hurry up and find out where that old devil Watanabe is," Bai Gou said to a subordinate.
Bai Gou's subordinate didn't speak, just nodded, pulled open the car door, and got out.
The First Pharmaceutical Factory was located in the West District. Bai Gou's subordinate was quite familiar with its operations.
Soon, someone arrived near the villa of Watanabe, the director of the First Pharmaceutical Factory. Others went to several of the women he frequented to gather information.
It didn't take long before they found Watanabe at one of the women's homes. The man had drunk too much at a bar the previous day and had stayed at this woman's place instead of returning to his villa.
Having found Watanabe, Bai Gou and his men drove to the woman's building.
It was an ordinary residential area with not very tight security. Driving in was largely unmonitored.
Bai Gou got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Who's going to handle this job?"
Two young men got out of the car and said, "Brother Gou, leave this to us."
Bai Gou nodded and asked, "How do you plan to do it?"
"Catch him in the act, beat him up, and then say we made a mistake."
Bai Gou shook his head and said, "That's not good. Get a delivery uniform, say they gave us a bad rating, and go straight to the door."
The two young men nodded and replied, "Alright, Brother Gou."
The two young men got out of the car and waited by the entrance of the complex for a while. They spotted a delivery man, a middle-aged man, and stopped him.
"What do you want?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Take off your clothes."
The middle-aged man hurriedly covered his chest and said, "Brothers, I'm male."
"What are you thinking? How could I be interested in you? I just need to borrow your clothes."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem. I thought you were going to steal my delivery."
The middle-aged delivery man obediently took off his upper garment. One of the young men put it on and headed straight for the woman's apartment.
*Tap, tap, tap.* The young man in the delivery uniform knocked three times.
He expected someone inside to ask who it was. He had already prepared his answer. To his surprise, the door suddenly opened, and a woman in a bathrobe stood before him.
She wore a pink bathrobe, and the air around her carried a scent of perfume and tobacco. Her face was flushed, and she looked at the delivery man with a confused expression.
"Why are you here? I didn't order any delivery. Did you make a mistake?" the woman asked.
The delivery man pushed the woman aside and said, "No mistake. We're looking for that old devil inside. The old bastard dared to give us a bad rating, I'll kill him."
The woman's face took on a schadenfreude expression, and she shouted, "Watanabe, two delivery people are looking for you."
Seeing the woman's expression, the two young men found it strange.
The young man in the delivery uniform went inside first. The other young man asked in a low voice, "Big sister, why do I feel like you're gloating?"
The woman quickly whispered, "Keep your voice down. The old devil has sharp ears. Don't let him hear you."
The young man lowered his voice and asked, "Big sister, do you really hate this old devil?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, I hate him. He killed my husband and took me over. But as a weak woman, there's nothing I can do."
The young man chuckled in a low voice, "What's so difficult about that? Send the old devil to prison, and you'll be free."
The woman said happily, "If you can really send the old devil to prison, I'll spend a month with you."
"You mean it?" the young man asked.
The woman nodded and said, "Of course. Although I, Hong Mei, am not innocent, I never break my word. I do as I say."
As they were talking, they heard a loud bang from inside the house, followed by another crash.
The young man felt something was wrong. He rushed into the living room and saw his companion lying on the ground, spitting blood.
"This has gone too far. Call the police quickly," the young man shouted as he fumbled for his phone.
Old devil Watanabe had a pair of triangular eyes and stood about five feet tall. He wore a loose-fitting bathrobe, revealing his thick calves.
"You dare to call the police? I'll kill you right now," Watanabe snarled.
The young man backed away while connecting Bai Gou's call.
"Brother Gou, our judgment was wrong. The old devil is quite strong. The two of us can't beat him."
"I'm coming up now. Protect yourself first."
Bai Gou went upstairs, saw the door ajar, and rushed in.
Both of his subordinates were lying on the ground. One was spitting blood, and the other was unconscious.
Bai Gou looked at Watanabe and asked, "Old man, did you injure my two brothers?"
"They're your men? Truly overestimating yourselves, daring to provoke my Yamato Overseas Development Company is simply seeking death."
Bai Gou said fiercely, "I think it's you who is seeking death."
Watanabe thought Bai Gou was about to attack. To his surprise, Bai Gou took out his phone and directly called the police, reporting a murder.
"Who killed anyone? They're not dead."
Bai Gou looked at his two subordinates and said, "If I say they're dead, they're dead."
Watanabe looked at Bai Gou with cold eyes and said, "Even if I kill you, your Chinese police won't be able to do anything to me."
Bai Gou chuckled and said, "You don't have the strength to kill me."
Watanabe suddenly attacked, his soft, pale hands moving with incredible ferocity, aiming for Bai Gou's eyes.
Bai Gou didn't dodge. He met Watanabe's hands with his head. As the hands were about to reach his eyes, he tilted his head back and opened his mouth to bite Watanabe's right hand.
Watanabe had never seen such a fighting style and was so startled that he quickly retracted his hands.
Bai Gou didn't stop. He lunged forward and kicked Watanabe in the stomach.
With a *bang*, Watanabe was sent tumbling backward, landing on his back.
Bai Gou laughed heartily and said, "This move is called 'Old Dog Eats Shit'."
"You dare to insult me? I'll kill you," Watanabe jumped up, cursing, and charged at Bai Gou.
Bai Gou fought with grabs and bites. The woman watching from the side was laughing heartily. She had seen many fights but never one that involved biting.
Although Bai Gou's strength was inferior to Watanabe's, his peculiar fighting style left Watanabe unable to defend himself.
They fought to a draw. After more than ten minutes, both were panting and retreated. The sound of sirens appeared in the complex.
Several police officers rushed upstairs and saw two people lying on the ground. "Who called the police?"
Bai Gou turned around and said, "I did."
Upon seeing Bai Gou, the officers smiled and said, "It's Brother Gou. Did this islander beat up these two young men?"
Bai Gou nodded, pointed at Watanabe, and said, "Yes, this old devil beat them up."
The officer took out handcuffs and said, "Let's go. You need to come to the station for questioning."
"I am a Japanese national. I am a foreign dignitary. I protest," Watanabe shouted loudly.
"Protest is invalid. This is China. Anyone who comes to China must abide by Chinese law," one of the officers said.
