The Villain's Wife

After planning for the food that they will have for their picnic the next day, Zhou Jingren and Lily had dinner. Then Lily went to bed while Zhou Jingren finished his paperwork. However, Bei Tian's sudden arrival made him halt everything that he was doing.

"Did something happen?" Zhuo Jingren asked when he saw the dark look on Bei Tian's face.

"Remember the Inagawa's?"

Zhou Jingren frowned as memories of what happened more than seven years ago resurfaced in his head. "How could I forget?" he asked.

"Their heiress is still alive. Ruokia Inagawa. She survived with the right hand man who is now her father. He adopted her after the incident. They are now using the last name Su."

"Su? As in Su Mingyu?"

Bei Tian nodded. "She goes by that name now. She infiltrated the security company years ago. And is now filing a case against us." He clenched his jaw. "We need to get rid of them."

Zhou Jingren's lips thinned as he stared at Bei Tian's face. He then stood from his seat and stared at his bookshelf that was full of Japanese books from his adoptive father. He closed his eyes as he recalled the dark memories of what happened in the past. Fire and death, blood and screams. Old and young, male and female. He never considered any of this when he had asked his people to kill them as revenge for the death of his adoptive father.

"Where did you get this information?" he asked after a few minutes of silence.

"That Su Mingyu was really suspicious. Qin Yuanfeng was reading her file when he noticed that her finger prints did not exist until six years ago. He did a little research and realized that she never had a fingerprint as they burned. So we tried to search her facial features and immediately found out that she had plastic surgery done in Thailand. When we traced it back, we discovered that it was because of severe burns on her body. Long story short, we were able to trace her DNA to the Inagawa's in Japan. Took us a long time but at least it's there. Qin Yuanfeng never had any idea who they were. He sent me the files the other day. When I read it, I immediately rushed here to inform you."

Zhou Jingren nodded. "I see." Both his Tanaka Clan and Inagawa Clan were well known Yakuzas in Japan. However, unlike the Tanaka's, the Inagawa never stopped their illegal activities. Instead, they increased the scope of their business into other south eastern asian countries such as the Philippines. Gambling, drugs and human trafficking. All this made the Inagawa's one of the biggest organized crime groups in Asia.

At first, the Tanaka's never cared about this. At that time, the old patriarch, Zhou Jingren's adoptive father and his wife Ida Tanaka, Zhou Jingren's adoptive mother, had already decided to register their business of lending money. With Zhou Jingren and Bei Tian, they started the Tanaka Capital. The rivalry between the clans only started when the Inagawa clan also started to lend some money to the people who gambled in their underground casinos.

Slowly, the Inagawa aimed to monopolize the business. They started sending death threats and destroying the properties of Tanaka's. Then they started sending their people to terrorize people who were associated with the Tanaka Capital. Because of this, Zhou Jingren's adoptive father started to increase the security of his business. He tapped into the Tanaka clan's secret army and retaliated. They started destroying the Inagawa clan's casinos and drug dens.

It was complete chaos.

The Inagawa's took this as an attack and started attacking the Tanaka's. This time, they did not hesitate and started killing people from the Tanaka Clan. Of course, Zhou Jingren's father retaliated. After all, he was born from a Yakuza family. Did the Inagawa's really think that they could scare the patriarch with these petty tricks?

To Zhou Jingren, something like this was normal for a family associated with the Yakuza. However, instead of spending his time planning against them, his father urged him to manage the family business. He then told Zhou Jingren to change the name to Zhou Capital. This was to symbolize that the Tanaka Family were already on the right path. So he let his father and Bei Tian take care of the violence while he… he took care of the business. He started traveling and meeting people. That was until someone killed his father.

At that time, the business was already doing well. They had plans to move to China or Hong Kong and even planned to branch out to Taiwan and Tokyo. Everything was doing so great that Zhou Jingren had never even imagined that it was only the calm before the storm.

After his father's death, he took an oath of vengeance.

And he burned them all. Everyone in the Inagawa Clan— every last one of them.

It was one of the most devastating news that shook the whole of Japan and Asia. How could a powerful clan like the Inagawa just disappear in one night?

Zhou Jingren never looked back. To him, killing the man who saved him and Bei Tian was enough to warrant the death of the whole clan. Who would have thought that this past would come and haunt him now that he was ready to settle down with his own family? Something sinister flashed in his eyes. "Do you know where this Su Mingyu is?"

"We have her location. As well as her father's."

"Are they planning something?"

"Probably. Jingren… I suggest— "

"I will personally kill them." Zhou Jingren uttered. There was no way that he would give the two some time to plan against him and Lily. Especially now that Lily was heavily pregnant. "Tomorrow is a holiday." He uttered. "I will take care of it."

Bei Tian stared at Zhou Jingren's back for a few seconds before he nodded. "Good. I will asked Yuanfeng to come here and prepare our men so we could— "

"No." Zhou Jingren said. "We let them come to us." He added. "Su Mingyu and her father will come to us." This time, the Inagawa clan will perish forever, he thought inwardly.
