Chapter 372: Retreat
The entire conference room fell silent as Takahashi Ryoken continued speaking.
"Who is in charge here? Stand up!"
When the man with gold-rimmed glasses heard this, he trembled in fear and pushed himself even further into the crowd.
Kato Tiger was not panicking, everything was going according to Zhang Hao's plan.
The people present looked around, looking for the host, the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
But the man with gold-rimmed glasses had changed and disguised himself simply, so it was impossible to find him for a while.
As for Kato Torano, he stayed in the small meeting room from the beginning and did not show up at all, so the people attending the rally didn't recognize him at all.
Seeing that no one said anything, Takahashi Ryoken suddenly raised his voice.
"You haven't realized the seriousness of the matter yet! If any of you deliberately cover up, you will bear the consequences!"
Everyone present wanted to bury their heads in the ground, and some of those who were looking around for the host also stopped.
This is human nature. When the consequences of an event exceed the limit of tolerance, no one dares to step forward and they believe more in the principle of not holding everyone responsible.
Takahashi Ryoken snorted coldly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. What he did just now was just bluffing.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhang Hao took a step forward and stood out.
He suggested to Takahashi Ryoken, "Minister Takahashi, I think there are remnants of the Tanaka Group here. Can you let them line up separately so I can take a look?"
Takahashi Ryoken cooperated and said, "Okay! This is a good idea."
He waved his hand and ordered the guards to drive the people present to line up in a small square and stand in rows.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses was startled. He knew Zhang Hao. It was no exaggeration to say that this man was the nemesis of the Tanaka Group. He didn't expect that he was here too.
Although he was anxious, he still followed the crowd and stood properly.
Although the people present were reluctant, they had no choice but to stand in formation obediently, pushing and shoving each other under Takahashi Ryoken's tough attitude.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses deliberately avoided Kato Tiger and stood in the third row of the team, while Kato Tiger casually stood in the last fourth row.
"Although I know Zhang Hao, he shouldn't know me, right?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses prayed in his heart that he would not be recognized by Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao walked to the edge pretending to be serious and began to recognize people one by one.
When Zhang Hao came to the third row, the man with gold-rimmed glasses' heart began beating uncontrollably.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead. The more he tried to calm down, the more excited his heart became, and the faster it beat.
He could even hear the sound of his own heart beating.
Zhang Hao looked over at them one by one from his right.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists tightly. If he was recognized, he would fight to the death! He would never surrender!
When Zhang Hao stood in front of him, he didn't even dare to look directly into Zhang Hao's eyes.
"It's over, it's over. I know there's something wrong with me. What should I do? What should I do?"
"He seems to have stopped! I must have been recognized! Damn it! Fight!"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses was about to throw a punch. He was ready to run away if he succeeded in striking! Regardless of whether he could escape or not, this was his last chance!
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Zhang Hao walked away quietly.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses felt like he had survived a calamity. He almost fainted and collapsed to the ground.
He dug his big toes into the ground to prevent himself from collapsing.
Zhang Hao turned a corner and came to the fourth row.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses didn't dare to look back. He was still worried that Zhang Hao had already discovered him and would attack him from behind!
After waiting for a while, nothing unexpected happened.
Zhang Hao returned to the front, shook his head at Takahashi Ryoken, and said, "I'm sorry, Minister Takahashi, I didn't realize that they were from the Tanaka Group."
Minister Takahashi retorted: "Well, even if there are people from the Tanaka Group, you may not be able to recognize them. After all, there were so many people in the Tanaka Group at the beginning, and you can't have fought them all. But there must be people from the Tanaka Group here!"
He turned around and faced the crowd.
"Don't think I don't know! There must be people from the Tanaka Group here. Not to mention those far away, let's just talk about the black-robed people from the Tanaka Group!"
"According to our findings, the black-robed man was injected with a high-strength blue serum, which has severe sequelae! The holy water given by the Church of Light claims to be able to cure all diseases! If there are black-robed men among you, how could you miss such an opportunity!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several people in the crowd shuddered.
Takahashi Ryoken noticed the strangeness of these people and snorted coldly! He pointed his finger at several people in the crowd and said, "Him! Him! And him! Catch them!"
The guards immediately stepped forward and carried out the few people pointed out by Takahashi Ryoken.
"You! What do you want to do!?"
"We are not from the Tanaka Group!"
“We know nothing!”
Ryoken Takahashi approached a few people and rolled up their sleeves!
There were dense needle holes on the skin of the arms under the sleeves! They were the needle holes left by the injection of blue serum when these people worked for the Tanaka Group!
"What else do you have to say!" Takahashi Ryoken said sternly!
A few people were still struggling to argue, shouting: "You are wronging us! We don't know about the Tanaka Group!"
Takahashi Ryoken said angrily, "I am accusing you, aren't I? Since you are not from the Tanaka Group, then the needle marks on your hands are from drug abuse! Take them back for investigation!"
Without giving the other party a chance to continue explaining or quibbling, several people were carried out by the guards.
After these people were taken away, some of the remaining people breathed a sigh of relief, while others became even more nervous. They were glad that they had not shown anything unusual just now.
The guards should not have the authority to force everyone present to take off their clothes and check if there are any needle marks on their bodies without any evidence.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not in a hurry. He was not a black-robed character in the Tanaka Group before, and there were no needle marks on his body.
He secretly looked up at Zhang Hao, only to see him walking towards him quickly again.
His heart was in his throat!
Was he discovered?
Zhang Hao didn't stop and just passed by.
Then he heard the sounds of fighting and two people talking behind him.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses was startled, and one of the voices was Kato Tora.
"Kato Tiger! I didn't expect to see you here! You probably haven't forgotten me yet!"
"Zhang Hao! You are so cruel! I didn't expect you to be here today! I won't fight anymore! I admit defeat!"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses listened to the conversation between the two. It seemed that after a brief fight, Kato Tiger gave up resisting.
Fortunately, after this conversation, the two did not continue to communicate, and Kato Tiger showed no signs of voluntarily giving himself away.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses calmed down a little.
Kato Tiger was carried by Zhang Hao and walked past him from behind.
Kato Tora turned his head and glanced at the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses quickly lowered his head and pretended not to know him.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao did not notice the brief eye contact between the two.
Seeing Zhang Hao catch a big fish, Takahashi Ryoken seemed very satisfied with today's actions.
He said loudly: "Seal off this place! The rest of you, go to the police station and give your statements!"
After a pause, he said, "Those who have finished taking the statement can leave! Dismiss!"
The guards retreated quickly and the meeting room became empty again.
Then the people who were still standing in four rows began to move slowly and walk out.
Naturally they dared not refuse to go for the record-keeping, but fortunately they should have escaped.
Alas! I haven't got the holy water that can cure all diseases yet! I'm really in trouble!
