Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 343 Midnight Changes

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang did not stop his actions, continuing to manipulate Yamamoto Buryo's fingers. Yamamoto Buryo howled in pain, his voice no longer sounding human.

"No, no! Please let me go! I'll tell you everything, just release me!" Yamamoto Buryo cried out hoarsely, his face twisted in a grotesque mask of pain.

Witnessing this, Li Rongzu and the others were visibly shaken. They found it difficult to stomach Yamamoto Buryo's tortured state. It was as if they could feel the pain in their own bodies—an incredibly uncomfortable sensation. Moreover, they were once again confronted with Lin Kuang's ruthlessness. He was a genuine executioner!

"Very good. Wouldn't it have been better to be this compliant from the start? Why seek out suffering unnecessarily?" Lin Kuang asked with a smile as he stood up.

Hearing this, Yamamoto Buryo didn't respond. He just panted heavily, his expression a mask of pure agony.

"Alright, speak. Why did you want to kill Zhang Guodong? What is your objective? Where is your meeting point? Who is your leader?" Lin Kuang asked Yamamoto Buryo coolly.

"Because… because we were collaborating with Gao Zhanchun. We planned to smuggle drugs, weapons, and other contraband into Nanjing, so we needed to work with someone on the inside. The person we cooperated with was Gao Zhanchun. The precondition for our cooperation was that we had to eliminate Zhang Guodong. As for why, I'm not clear on that myself. I was just following orders.

"Our leader is Yamamoto Saku, the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi's Asia operations. Our current meeting point is the Glorious Hotel in Nanjing. The hotel is a Yamaguchi-gumi property."

Yamamoto Buryo didn't dare to withhold a single detail, carefully recounting everything he knew.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang couldn't help but frown. The matter actually involved Gao Zhanchun. Although Lin Kuang wasn't based in Nanjing, he knew Gao Zhanchun was the city's mayor. Furthermore, the Yamaguchi-gumi was involved. The key question was whether the Yamaguchi-gumi was acting alone, or if the military of the Island Country was pulling the strings from behind the scenes. After all, the Yamaguchi-gumi had always maintained a very close relationship with the Island Country's military.

As he considered this, Lin Kuang's deep, cold eyes bored into Yamamoto Buryo. He asked again, "You're a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi? Then let me ask you this: Was this an act carried out by the Yamaguchi-gumi, or were you following orders from the Island Country's military? Do you have any other bases in Nanjing?"

At these words, Yamamoto Buryo was visibly startled. "This… I don't know. I only know about the Glorious Hotel. I'm just a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi. I really don't know anything about military matters," he said with a pained expression, his gaze filled with confusion and supplication. He truly didn't know.

Observing Yamamoto Buryo's eyes carefully, Lin Kuang sensed that the man wasn't lying.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang turned to Song Tao. "Let's leave it at that for today."

"That's it? How can that be?" Qian Zhou couldn't help but cry out. "They're at the Glorious Hotel, aren't they? We have to send people to capture them! And that Gao Zhanchun, he should be arrested too!"

"Fine. You go, then," Lin Kuang said with a dismissive glance at Qian Zhou.

"You!" Qian Zhou glared fiercely at Lin Kuang but didn't dare say another word.

"We can't touch Gao Zhanchun for the time being. We have no evidence, so even if we arrested him, it would be useless, and it would also likely tip off our real targets. But why don't we surround that Glorious Hotel?" Li Rongzu asked, suppressing his anger.

"Why?" Lin Kuang shot him a look and said coldly, "If the enemy isn't as stupid as you are, they left that hotel a long time ago."

Hearing this, Li Rongzu's face grew even uglier. He's right. With Yamamoto Buryo gone for so long, his associates would have assumed he was in trouble and evacuated at the first opportunity. Even if we caught the hotel staff, what good would it do? They wouldn't know anything important. At this thought, Li Rongzu's expression soured further.

Lin Kuang paid him no further attention. He simply instructed Song Tao to have someone monitor the hotel and Gao Zhanchun, telling him to report immediately if any clues surfaced.

Song Tao nodded in acknowledgment and turned to leave. Seeing this, Lin Kuang also turned and walked out, leaving Li Rongzu and his four men alone in the interrogation room.

"Let's go!" Li Rongzu said angrily, then spun around and left.

After leaving, Lin Kuang did not return to Zhang Guodong's home, staying at the military base instead. He now had a basic understanding of the situation, but he still lacked proof of Gao Zhanchun's collusion with the people from the Island Country.

It seems I still need some evidence. These Yamaguchi-gumi guys have the audacity to strut around our country. It looks like none of you should plan on leaving! Lin Kuang thought with a cold smirk.

However, he also knew that finding those people from the Island Country wouldn't be easy. With Yamamoto Buryo having disappeared, they would surely be on high alert. That meant their only point of contact would be Gao Zhanchun. It seemed all the primary clues led back to him. But why would Gao Zhanchun want to kill Zhang Guodong? What is going on here?

Lin Kuang pondered silently. There has to be something I'm missing. Otherwise, there would have been no reason for Gao Zhanchun to eliminate Zhang Guodong.

Forget it. I'll think about it tomorrow. Getting anxious won't help.

With that thought, Lin Kuang sat cross-legged on the bed to rest. It was already past eleven at night, nearly midnight.

Time crept by. Soon, it was one-thirty in the morning. This was the hour when sleep was heaviest and people were at their most exhausted. The entire military base was silent, utterly still. The only sound was the faint scuff of boots from the occasional soldier on patrol.

At this moment, Lin Kuang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open. He detected the faintest of footsteps in the corridor outside. The steps were incredibly light, like those of a cat. If his hearing hadn't been so sharp, he might have missed the sound entirely.

Who is this? They deliberately muffled their footsteps… It looks like they're heading for the interrogation room where Yamamoto Buryo is! Okamoto Daiki was killed the exact same way. This person must be here to eliminate Yamamoto Buryo!

At that thought, Lin Kuang's expression changed abruptly. He had chosen this room, just two doors down from the interrogation room, precisely because he was worried someone might try to assassinate Yamamoto Buryo. It seemed his concerns were entirely justified.

With that, Lin Kuang slipped out of bed, a murderous glint in his eyes. You're not getting away this time!
