Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1022 Step 2 Plan

In the headquarters of Pu Yu, in a luxuriously decorated but depressing office, Hong Yuzhang was roaring in anger. The "Justice Daily" in his hand was like a death warrant, and he threw it fiercely in Asanogawa's face.

"Waste! You are all waste!" Hong Yuzhang's voice echoed in the office, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness, "Where on earth did this Justice Daily come from? What do the people at Pu Yu do for a living? They allow such disturbing tabloids to emerge one after another!"

Asanogawa lowered his head, enduring Hong Yuzhang's anger. There was no expression on his face, only deep apology. "Sir, please calm down. We will investigate the source of this "Justice News" as soon as possible and will never let such incidents happen again." He whispered, his tone full of respect and determination.

Hong Yuzhang gasped, as if trying to calm himself down. He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. The anger in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by calmness and contemplation. "Asanogawa, what do you think of this? What is your judgment on the mastermind behind the Justice Daily?"

Asano Gawa raised his head slightly and met Hong Yuzhang's eyes. "Sir, it's hard to judge the truth now." He pondered for a moment, then continued, "There are two possibilities. The first is that our previous judgment may have been biased. The mastermind behind the Kyoto Secret Report and the Justice Secret Report is not the Fujita family. We may have checked the wrong direction. The second possibility is that in order to put pressure on us and rescue Fujita Ying, the Fujita family deliberately raised Fujita Ying's status in the hearts of the people and made him a belief and hero of the people."

Hong Yuzhang listened to Asanogawa's analysis with a frown on his face. He knew that both possibilities existed and were extremely tricky. "If it is really the Fujita family behind this, then they are extremely cunning." He snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain and anger, "However, no matter who is behind this, we can't just sit back and do nothing. You must immediately organize people to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out the truth. You must not allow this kind of tabloid to spread recklessly and shake the people's faith!"

"Yes, sir!" Asanogawa responded. This was not just a battle about tabloids, but also a battle about power and faith. He had to go all out to live up to Hong Yuzhang's trust and expectations.

With Asanogawa's departure, the office fell into silence again. Hong Yuzhang sat alone at his desk, his eyes full of contemplation and worry.

In the headquarters of Qinghe Chamber of Commerce, in an elegant and solemn conference room, Xiong Chang was sitting in the main seat, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring closely at his subordinates' reports on the current situation. As the reports went deeper, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on Xiong Chang's lips.

"Very good, your operation was very successful." Xiong Chang's voice was steady and powerful, and his tone was full of praise and affirmation for his subordinates. "Fujita Ying's status in the hearts of the people is already at its peak. He has now become a god-like hero. Our plan is moving in the expected direction."

Mitsui Hisashi, the representative of the Mitsui family sitting next to Xiong Chang, also showed a proud smile at this moment. He gently patted the documents in his hands, as if they were his trophies of victory. "Yes, Chairman Xiong Chang, our actions have achieved remarkable results. The image of Fujita Ying has been completely reshaped in the hearts of the people. He is now the embodiment of justice and the faith of the people. We can proceed to the next plan."

Xiong Chang nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Very good, Mitsui Shou, your plan is excellent. However, we still need to be cautious. Justice Tabloid has successfully attracted the attention of Pu Yu, but we can't let them find any clues. Therefore, I decided that after the last issue of Justice Tabloid is printed and distributed, all traces will be destroyed immediately, and Pu Yu must not be left with any traceable clues."

Mitsui Shou immediately nodded in agreement. "Chairman Xiong Chang, you are very thoughtful. I will immediately arrange for personnel to ensure that the last issue of Justice Tabloid can be printed and distributed smoothly. At the same time, after the mission is completed, all relevant evidence will be immediately destroyed to ensure that our actions are impeccable."

Xiong Chang looked at Mitsui Shou, his eyes full of trust and expectation. "Very good, Mitsui Shou, I believe you can complete this task excellently. However, I have to remind you that Pu Yu will definitely pay close attention to the slightest movement in Kyoto. Their intelligence network is very powerful, we must act carefully and must not allow any problems to occur."

At this point, Xiong Chang's tone became extremely serious, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination. "Our plan has reached the most critical step, and we cannot be lax or careless. Every detail must be perfect, and every action must be carefully considered. Only in this way can we ensure the final victory."

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the ancient streets of Kyoto, the whole city did not usher in the tranquility and harmony of the past, but was shrouded in an extremely tense atmosphere. The officials of the Public Security Bureau were dressed in neat uniforms, with serious expressions and vigilant eyes as they patrolled back and forth in crowded places. Their every move revealed their high alertness to potential threats.

At the entrance of the market, a team of soldiers from the Public Security Department were conducting strict security checks. Holding spears and with sharp eyes, they carefully examined every person who tried to enter the market. Every backpack, book, and even small items carried by pedestrians were strictly checked to ensure that they did not carry any suspicious items, especially the dreaded "Justice Daily".

"Stop, open your backpack!" a soldier shouted, his voice was particularly harsh at the entrance of the noisy market. A young woman was stopped, her face full of panic and confusion. The soldiers skillfully opened her backpack and began to search carefully. Fortunately, there was no contraband in her backpack except daily necessities. The soldiers nodded and signaled that she could pass.

On the other side, an old man was holding a heavy book and preparing to enter the teahouse. However, he was also stopped by the soldiers. "Please open your book, we need to check it." The soldier's tone was firm and unquestionable. The old man shook his head helplessly, but still opened the book as he was told. The soldiers carefully flipped through every page, fearing that they would miss any possible clues. In the end, they confirmed that there was no trace of "Justice Daily" in the book, and then let him go.

Such inspections were being carried out in every corner of Kyoto. The soldiers of the Public Security Bureau worked tirelessly, their figures shuttled among the crowd, like an invisible net, tightly covering the entire Kyoto. They knew that the spread of "Justice Daily" was a huge threat to the royal family, so they had to go all out to fundamentally prevent its spread.
