130 Starting Point 1 (2/2)
Ta glanced at Tu, nodding slightly while he was heading outside of the room. The door closed, Tu walked to Han's side and whispered to him in his right ear.
Han listened closely to his report, he chuckled and then suddenly burst to laugh, he sarcastically said, ”He actually did it! Good, good. Did you find him and his companion now?”
Tu was quite confused from Han's nonchalant attitude. Inside Tu's heart was panicking for the future of Asuzawa Group. But, why his boss was laughing happily?
Tu retorted, ”Mr. To was keeping watch on Mr. Rei Ishii, we found out about his collaboration with Mr. Gua from Lotus Corp. So, what should we do with this crisis, Sir? Asuzawa group was having drastic decline from profit, three of our main factories were caught in a fire, our company account was being hacked. We couldn't access to the source of our product. If we keep this longer, the company will be bankrupt!” He explained anxiously to Han.
Han nodded to his statement, ”Don't you have other important things to report?”
”I-Important? S-Sir! We are landing on a crisis! In three days Asuzawa Group will be having backslashed. It will not end well if we don't act immediately. Sir, why are you so calm?!” Tu roared enthusiastically. He couldn't accept that his boss was still sitting on his chair while twirling with his pen.
Tud! Han pressed the tip of his pen to the table. He glanced sharply to his secretary, ”I said, don't you have 'other important things' to report? I know it's a crisis. But you must stay calm, I don't like you to disturb my mind. Don't worry, everything is under control, I'm thinking about the solution.” Han persuaded Tu to trust him. Han stood up from his chair and walked to one of his bookshelves.
In front of the books, there was an old picture in a small black frame. Two little boys and one girl in the middle. It was him, Stevan and Laura. Han held it and noticed little Stevan was glancing angrily at Laura, while she was staring lovingly to Han. In her left side, little Han with his big smile on his face was looking at the camera in front. It was their childhood photo.
He didn't know why he had this photo in the first place, but it was a rare photo he took back when he was a child. He didn't have the heart to throw it. So, he placed it in this frame as one of the memories. Although their friendship was ambiguous because of his contradicting personality, yet the time when they play together as former Hanzo was joyful.
Han eyes suddenly dimmed, he told his secretary without looking at him directly, ”Tu, give my message to To and told him to bring that black envelope to Rei Ishii. My hunch is right,'he' will eat me slowly these upcoming weeks. So, I must prepare and welcome him.” He ordered with a firm tone.
Tu blinked his eyes and felt confused, ”Sir, 'he' you mean is Mr. Rei Ishii? If we do what you say to give that message to him, isn't that mean will be exposing that we followed him?”
Han turned his body and looked at him, he folded his arms in front of his chest and asked him, ”You're a really curious person, aren't you? Didn't you use your brain all this time together with me? Where did you hide it? And, do I have to explain everything to you again?”
Tu suddenly realized his own words were stupid. Why did he forget about those 'two men' relationships?
Tu thought about Han's presumption at that time when they were in the office. Tu was unsure to believe his words. It couldn't be, right? But his boss wasn't joking at all. He stared at Han with a difficult expression, ”Sir, you didn't mean...Mr. Suzuki.” He nervously said.
”Yes, It was the last option I want to guess. Sadly, it's true.” Han muttered with a shaky voice. ”'This is only the beginning. I don't know what his motive to do this, but he bit me first, so I will bite him back twice. Although once I consider him as a friend in the past. But now, we are enemies. Prepare my hidden force to keep watching closely to the people around me, especially my wife and son.” He clenched his palm into a fist.
”I don't want him to hurt my family, this time I swear I will protect my loved one.” He stated. Tu was nodding and kept his voice wordless. Han took a quick breathe and commanded Tu, ”Call Kei Ono, Jo Miura, and Satoru to my house now. Tell them it's an emergency meeting.”
