Chongzong's sincere apology was met with laughter and forgiveness.
"Ahem, well, Chongzong, this is really the last time, it won't happen again." (Uesugi Yui)
Uesugi Yui looked at Chongzong with a stern face, who was still kneeling and dared not get up.
"I'll emphasize again, the last time." (Uesugi Yui)
"Chongzong, you have a history." (Uesugi Yui)
"Don't trample on our trust again..." (Uesugi Yui)
What started as just a few words of reprimand turned into a relentless pressure weighing heavily on Chongzong's mind.
This made his attitude quietly change.
He no longer resisted.
They were not trying to obstruct him, they were worried about him.
And their concerns were not unfounded.
He was just a young man who could fight better than average, not a war god who could vanquish a thousand foes.
"I'm sorry, I understand, I won't do it again." (Chongzong)
"Okay, let's continue~" (Uesugi Yui)
"From what you just said, Chongzong, do you already have a plan in mind?" (Uesugi Yui)
"Well, my current plan is to find out about Kuroda's schedule, get his photo, sneak in, create a situation where Kuroda is alone, and then extract information from him." (Chongzong)
After hearing Chongzong's answer, everyone fell into deep thought.
Soon, Yuki raised her hand to ask a question.
"Brother, if you manage to catch Kuroda alone and face him one-on-one, how can you be sure you can defeat him? What if he catches you instead?" (Yuki)
As expected of Yuki, she raised a very crucial question.
"Yes, I was thinking the same thing." (Uesugi Yui)
The sisters were united, and Uesugi Yui immediately agreed.
"Well, for a gang leader like Kuroda, aren't they usually weak?" (Chongzong)
Chongzong asked incredulously.
"Like Kuroda? You haven't even met him, how can you make that judgement?" (Uesugi Yui)
"Although I haven't met him, from the intelligence we have, he is the cunning type of leader who hides in the shadows, relying on his men to protect himself, isn't he?" (Chongzong)
"As a gang leader of a district, he doesn't even dare to show his face, always hiding in the shadows, keeping such a secret schedule." (Chongzong)
"Well, what you're saying makes sense, but Yuki's possibility isn't entirely zero. There are all kinds of abnormalities in the underworld, so we can't rely on common sense." (Uesugi Yui)
After a discussion, Chongzong felt he was being led into Usugi Yui's trap. While it's good to be cautious and mitigate risks, he also shouldn't stop himself from taking necessary actions. It's true that Hida might pose a formidable threat, but staying idle at home could be just as dangerous. Without a safer alternative, taking risks was necessary.
Chongzong decided to break free from Usugi Yui's mental trap.
"The main reason we're discussing this is because we don't understand Hida, and getting to know Hida is a crucial part of my plan," said Chongzong.
"I've thought about how to obtain information on Hida myself, but I couldn't come up with a good method. I'd like to enlist everyone's help in brainstorming if there's a way to get Hida's information," Chongzong proposed.
The clever Chongzong refrained from mentioning involving the police and instead posed an open-ended question. He knew that if he directly asked Usugi Yui, she would resist. Allowing her to suggest it herself would reduce that barrier of resistance.
