165. Auspicious Clouds Head East—How Could a Golden Dragon Be Confined to a Pond

The negotiations between IIC and Honda had essentially concluded, but to give the impression of careful consideration from both sides, the formal contract wasn’t rushed. Instead, they periodically released information about pleasant discussions, which alone caused Honda’s stock price to rise significantly.

Hou Longtao had been quite free these past few days. Besides carousing with women, including the dozen or so “alluring ninja” actresses who had already made a name for themselves, he also preliminarily finalized a plan with Yumi to invest in building a hospital in Beijing. With “Shuntendo” [likely a reference to a powerful or well-connected entity] handling matters on the Beijing government’s side, there shouldn’t be any problems. The scale couldn’t be small, as he already had dozens of Japanese nurses at his disposal, at least on paper…

After a routine meeting on Tuesday afternoon, Hou Longtao was invited into Fukui Takeo’s office alone, while Fang Jie was denied entry.

“What do you need my help with?” Hou Longtao asked, settling onto the large sofa, crossing his legs, leaning back with his arms draped over the sofa back, looking like a triumphant young rogue.

“Since you ask, you must already know what I need.”

“Then what’s in it for me? We have a purely business relationship, so there’s no such thing as helping or not.” Hou Longtao curled his left hand’s fingers towards himself, examining his nails.

“Don’t you want to know who betrayed you?”

“How can you be sure someone betrayed me?”

“You told me that your ninjas were given the weaknesses of the surveillance system, the patrol patterns of the bodyguards, and the location of the air conditioning mainframe. How else would they know these things except through someone on the inside?”

“Heh heh,” Hou Longtao smirked. “Did I tell you that? I’ve forgotten. Anyway, I’m fine, and I’ve gained a lot. Once I sign with you on the 24th, I’m leaving. You can solve your own problems; I’d rather not get involved.”

“There are still almost two weeks left. Aren’t you afraid something else might happen?”

“I’m protected by my ninja corps now, and Xiang Yun is heading east tomorrow. Heh heh, afraid? Toyota can’t exactly bring in the army, can they?”

Fukui Takeo was completely baffled, but one thing was clear: this guy wouldn’t act without seeing some benefit. “How’s the ‘Golden Wing’ production line coming along?”

“Snap,” Hou Longtao clapped his hands and stood up. “Deal.” He knew that for a large company like Honda, having a traitor in a high position could lead to immeasurable losses.

“But you have to take him out.”

“The person you suspect is…”

“It’s an open secret.”

“Then why don’t you just get rid of him yourself? Why do you need me?”

“I need confirmation, and I need to know everything he’s done.”

“OK.” Hou Longtao nodded. Actually, even if Fukui Takeo hadn’t asked, he would have visited Zhang Fujio. He couldn’t let his “beloved” Baihu be an orphan for twenty-one years without knowing why…

On Wednesday afternoon, a luxurious Bentley followed by four black Honda Jeeps stopped at the arrival exit of Tokyo’s Yokota Airport.

Hou Longtao stepped out of the Bentley, leaned against the car door, lit a cigarette, and watched as the passing Japanese people cast envious glances his way.

About twenty minutes later, Feng Yun emerged, wearing black sunglasses, black high heels, leather pants, and a turtleneck sweater. The wind at the entrance blew her unbuttoned long black leather trench coat and hair, making her look incredibly cool.

Behind the beauty were ten sturdy men with sharp eyes, all security guards from the “East Star” factory.

Hou Longtao’s eyes lit up. He hurried forward, grabbed the woman’s waist, lifted her up, spun her around a few times, and then set her down.

Feng Yun smiled at the man and patted his cheek. “Did you wait long?”

“Seeing you makes me realize I missed you more than I thought.”

“Take me back to your place quickly.” Feng Yun’s face suddenly turned a bit red.

“Get in the car!” Hou Longtao waved at the guards and almost dragged the woman into the Bentley.

As soon as they got in the car, Feng Yun immediately hugged the man’s neck and kissed him passionately.

Hou Longtao savored the woman’s fragrant tongue for a while, then pushed her against the back of the seat and began kissing her face and cheekbones, his hands reaching under her sweater to grab her bra.

“Mmm… mmm…” Feng Yun pushed the man away, panting, and nodded towards the driver’s back, giving him a reproachful look.

“What’s wrong? It’s a woman.”

“Still, no.”

“I… I…” Hou Longtao’s eyes widened.

“I’m anxious too,” Feng Yun kissed the man’s lips. “Just bear with it a little longer.”

“I should have taken the extended Lincoln,” Hou Longtao said, slumping to the side.

“What did Yuqian call you?” Feng Yun nestled in the man’s arms. “Rascal, pervert.”

“Heh heh heh,” Hou Longtao took the woman’s jade hand and kissed it. “I’ll endure.”

“My sister told you to take care of yourself.”

“She’s doing well, right?”

“She’s doing well, just missing you, you old rogue.”

“Mm.” Hou Longtao held Feng Yun tighter, thinking his wives must have been suffering during this time, but he had to continue staying in Japan, which was a bit annoying.

“I brought the ten best martial artists. Who wants your life?”

“Oh, Toyota’s people. It’s nothing. I have my own ninja corps now.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.” Hou Longtao smiled mysteriously.

The convoy drove to the “Alluring Ninjas'” residence, stopping among a cluster of two-story villas.

Feng Yun didn’t ask anything, letting the man lead her into one of the villas and straight to the second floor.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Hou Longtao pulled the beauty in front of him, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her lips.

The two twisted their heads, their lips grinding tightly together, their tongues entwining passionately, the sounds of their kissing echoing in the room. They were reluctant to part, having just been “newlyweds.”

Feng Yun’s hands explored the man’s body, trembling as she unbuttoned his clothes. She had missed him terribly.

Hou Longtao grabbed the collar of his wife’s trench coat and roughly pulled it off.

He then pulled her bra out of her pants and pushed it up along with her sweater.

Feng Yun obediently raised her arms, making it easier for the man to undress her. Her breathing was already very rapid, and her breasts, covered by a blue and white lace bra, rose and fell.

Hou Longtao wrapped his left arm around the woman’s waist, and with his right hand, he forcefully grabbed her erect breasts, kneading them along with her bra. His mouth pressed against her other breast, sucking and licking, while his already tented lower body rubbed wildly against her crotch.

“Ah… ah…” Feng Yun closed her eyes and moaned loudly, her soft body bending backward under the man’s pressure. She supported her head with both hands, desperately pushing out her breasts to make them more prominent.

Hou Longtao wrapped his arms around the woman’s slender waist, and with a sudden upward thrust, he tossed her up.

Feng Yun landed back-first on the large bed, bouncing a couple of times. She propped herself up with one elbow, and with the other hand, she popped open the waist of her leather pants with a “snap.” Then, squinting at the man, she slowly lowered the zipper. “Husband…”

Hou Longtao jumped over, pinned the beauty’s legs between his arms, grabbed her pants at her ankles, and in one breath, he stripped them down to her ankles, then yanked them off along with her high heels.

Feng Yun raised her right leg and used her jade foot, clad in a short sock, to open the man’s shirt wider, then rubbed the sole of her foot against his chest. “I missed you so much…”

Hou Longtao grabbed the woman’s slender ankles, twisted her clockwise, and flipped her over. Her blue and white panties had lace on the front and a T-back, completely exposing her round, firm buttocks, with a thin strap digging into the deep crevice.

Feng Yun bent her legs, forming a kneeling position, her full buttocks sticking up. She gently swayed her beautiful buttocks. “Husband, come on…”

Hou Longtao also knelt on the bed, placing his hands on his wife’s hips. He bent down, closed his eyes, and pressed his face against her smooth buttocks, rubbing slowly. After rubbing both sides, he pressed his mouth and nose into her butt crack. “Ah… so fragrant, so fragrant, I missed your scent so much…”

“Ah…” Feng Yun could feel the heat from the man’s mouth and nose penetrating the thin strip of cloth pressed into her butt crack, directly entering her body from her anus and vagina. Her arms suddenly went limp, and her upper body fell onto the bed, panting heavily.

Hou Longtao, like a big dog, stretched out his tongue and greedily licked the woman’s fragrant buttocks, quickly turning the area wet. He repeatedly licked the strip of cloth in her butt crack, finally soaking it with his saliva.

“Mm… mm… husband…” Feng Yun supported herself on the bed with her head, pushing her bra up to her waist, grabbing and kneading her breasts like dough. “I… I want…”

Hou Longtao didn’t immediately satisfy his wife’s request. Instead, he only pulled her panties down to the middle of her buttocks, then spread her butt cheeks apart and began to meticulously lick her anus. His tongue traced every wrinkle around her butthole, and his fingers reached between her legs, gently plucking at her clitoris.

“Mmm, mmm…” Feng Yun restlessly shook her full buttocks,

flinging out the tip of the man’s tongue that had been lightly inserted into her anus. “You damn monkey, are you trying to drive me crazy?”

Hou Longtao still didn’t rush. His left hand supported the woman’s heavy breasts from below, and the middle finger of his right hand slowly pushed into her hot vagina.

Feng Yun suddenly jumped up, turned to face the man, and knelt down. In a few quick movements, she unbuttoned his pants, pulled out his hard penis, and began to suck it desperately.

“Ah…” Suddenly entering a warm, moist cave, Hou Longtao couldn’t help but shudder all over. He supported the woman’s head with both hands and slowly began to thrust.

Feng Yun followed the man, lifting her body up as well, continuing to greedily suck the man’s cock. The familiar masculine scent made her feel a little dizzy.

Hou Longtao bent down, reached between the woman’s buttocks, and hooked two fingers into her vagina, stirring quickly.

“Ah… husband…” Feng Yun stroked the man’s hot penis with her left hand, sucking his testicles while looking up at him with pleading eyes. “Give it to me…”

“I haven’t kissed your little hole yet.”

Feng Yun really didn’t have the patience to continue the foreplay, but her rogue lover insisted on acting like a gentleman at this moment. She suddenly grabbed the man’s right wrist with both hands, twisted her upper body, and used her shoulder to support the upper right side of his chest. With a force in her waist, she gave him a big back carry [a wrestling move].

“So eager?” Hou Longtao lay sprawled on the bed, staring up at the moist crevice between the woman’s legs. “If we wait a little longer, will the juices start flowing out?”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Feng Yun neatly removed her panties, flipped over, straddled the man’s abdomen, tilted her head back, furrowed her eyebrows, and slowly sat down. Halfway down, she began to caress his cheeks, gazing deeply at him with trembling voice, lightly moaning “ah ah,” until the thick, long penis was completely enveloped by the tender flesh inside her vagina.

“Good wife.” Hou Longtao ran his hands through the woman’s smooth hair, pulled her head down, and began to thrust his hips quickly while kissing her.

“Mmm mmm mmm…” Feng Yun had to suck on the man’s tongue and continuously moan, unable to control the abundant fluids in her mouth, letting them flow onto his cheeks.

Hou Longtao slowly sat up, left the woman’s fragrant lips, tidied her disheveled hair, and gazed at her beautiful eyes. “Yunyun, you’re so beautiful…”

“Hoo… hoo…” Feng Yun slowly raised and lowered her full buttocks, carefully savoring the wonderful feeling of the large penis with bulging veins sliding across the inner walls of her vagina. More importantly, she could feel that her lover truly appreciated and cherished her, knowing that her decision to follow him was completely correct.

Hou Longtao hugged the woman’s waist and put a perky nipple in his mouth, sucking it carefully.

“Ah…” Feng Yun hugged the man’s head, the expression on her face was painful, as if she was about to cry, but this was just a manifestation of extreme physical and mental pleasure…

“Confess honestly,” Feng Yun said, lying on the man’s body, pretending to be very serious.

“Confess what?” Hou Longtao lazily reached out from the covers,

grabbed a cigarette from the bedside table, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

“Don’t play dumb. Letting you out alone, you’ll turn the world upside down,” Feng Yun laughed. “Tell me, how many women do you plan to take back to Beijing?”

“Heh heh, you know about the sisters and the nurses, and the others…” Hou Longtao rolled his eyes and thought, “There are six or seventy more.”

“You’re joking.”

“No joke.”

The smile on Feng Yun’s face gradually disappeared, replaced by an incredulous expression, but fortunately, there was no anger in it. “Really?”

“Here’s the thing…” Hou Longtao also felt that he shouldn’t joke about this with his beloved woman. He simply told her about the “Alluring Ninjas.” “It just so happens that my new hospital needs nurses.”

“That’s too weird, right?” Feng Yun didn’t quite believe the story the man told.

Hou Longtao shrugged. “Since it’s already happened, there’s nothing weird or not weird about it.”

“Why do you have to take them back? Wouldn’t it be better to just leave them here?”

“How can I do that? They’ve been waiting for over a hundred years, just waiting for me, the True Dragon, to appear. How can I abandon them?”

“Tch, what True Dragon,” Feng Yun was amused. “You’re clearly just a big pervert. You’re just keeping them around to use them yourself.”

“That’s really not it,” Hou Longtao curled his lips. “I have two purposes in taking them back. They all have martial arts skills, and you never know when they might come in handy. It’ll be too late to recruit them domestically then.”

“What’s going on? Is there anything I can’t help you with?”

“What’s your identity? You’re my wife. There are some things you can’t do. Even if you’re willing to do them, I wouldn’t want you to. Since there are others who can do it for you, why should I let you take the risk?”

“I guess you have a little conscience.” Feng Yun kissed the man. She also knew that some things couldn’t be solved by herself. Instead of having her lover rely on her father’s power, it was better for him to have his own direct troops.

“And I also want to purify their bloodlines. When we get back to Beijing, I’ll let them marry whoever they like, but they can only marry Chinese men.” Hou Longtao wrinkled his nose jokingly. “Isn’t there a gender imbalance in the country now? I’m occupying a dozen of you, so that’s a way of giving back to society, right?”

“Hmph,” Feng Yun lightly slapped the man. “You’re just a horny devil. Would you be willing to give away dozens of beauties?”

“What’s there to be unwilling about? I don’t have any feelings for them. It’s not like I’m treating them like objects to be given away. I want them to find people they like themselves.”

“Then why don’t you let us find people we like ourselves?”

“I thought you already had.”

“Consider yourself lucky.”

Hou Longtao put out his cigarette, wrapped his arm around the woman’s shoulder, turned her over, and pinned her to the bed, gazing at her beautiful eyes.

“What are you doing?” Feng Yun wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.

“I know I’m lucky, so I cherish you even more.”

Feng Yun pulled the man down and kissed him passionately. He cherished her, and she cherished him just as much…

Hou Longtao led Feng Yun to the backyard of the villa,

where the Xingyue sisters were practicing hand-to-hand combat, jumping up and down and fighting fiercely.

“Are those them?”

“Yeah.”

“Their skills are pretty good, not much worse than mine.”

“Oh,” Hou Longtao finally realized that the woman was referring to their martial arts skills. “Are they very good? I think they’re just average.”

“Hmph, what do you know?” Feng Yun glanced at the man.

“They were injured by some Japanese guys with knives.”

“That means the opponents were also very strong. How did they attack?”

“How would I remember? It happened so fast, and it was a while ago.”

“Amateur, you’re just watching the show.”

Hou Longtao didn’t say anything more, but his face still showed a disapproving expression.

“Brother Tao.” The sisters had already seen them coming, but they still practiced until a break before stopping to “pay their respects.” “This is Sister Feng, right?”

“Sister Yun.” Hou Longtao interjected.

“Isn’t there already a Sister Yun?”

“Mm…” Hou Longtao knew they were referring to Ru Yun. “Then Sister Yun is fine.”

Feng Yun didn’t waste any time and immediately began to ask about the specific circumstances of Hou Longtao’s assassination. The three women gathered together, talking and gesturing, and even laughing.

Hou Longtao didn’t quite understand every move his wives made, but he was still very happy. So far, Feng Yun had only established a certain relationship with Ru Yan. She hadn’t even met the others. It would be great if she could get along with Zhiji and Huiji at first sight…

Zhang Fujio and his wife, Reiko, attended a banquet and didn’t return to their residence until 10:00 PM.

A maid came out of the large house to greet them. “Sir, Madam, Mr. Hou Longtao is waiting for you.”

“What?” Zhang Fujio was surprised. This was an uninvited guest. However, since the other party had come to see him so openly, he probably wouldn’t do anything drastic.

Hou Longtao was sitting on the large sofa in the hall. Seeing Zhang Fujio and his wife walk in, he stood up and straightened his suit. “President, you’re very busy, returning so late.”

“Heh heh, Mr. Hou, there was no need for you to come in person. I would have visited you.” Zhang Fujio proactively extended his hand while observing the surrounding situation. The guy had come with four women. Two of them, who looked exactly alike, must be the Xingyue sisters. He didn’t recognize the other two. One was a young woman in her twenties wearing casual clothes, and the other was a woman in her thirties wearing a kimono.

This time, it was Zhang Fujio’s wife, Reiko, who was surprised. Although they hadn’t met in twenty years, she still recognized Tamako. “You…”

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Fujio looked at his wife in confusion.

“She… she is the leader of the ‘Cherry Blossom Alluring Ninjas,’ Sakura Tamako.”

Zhang Fujio didn’t know what to say for a moment. Not only had the other party failed to complete the task he had given her, but she also seemed to have defected to the enemy. With her around, his safety wasn’t as secure as he had thought.

“Is there a place where we can talk?” Hou Longtao broke the deadlock.

“How about my study?”

“Good.” Hou Longtao and Feng Yun followed Zhang Fujio down the hallway.

“Mrs. Zhang, we should also have a good talk,” Tamako said, lowering her eyes and tapping her fingers. “Please, sit down.”

Reiko’s surprise just now was only because of Tamako’s sudden appearance. In fact, she wasn’t flustered at all, because there was no reason to be flustered. She was “indebted” to the other party.

“This sister is…?” Zhang Fujio turned to sit behind his desk, looking at the two young people sitting opposite him.

“She has nothing to do with you. She’s just here to accompany me.” Hou Longtao crossed his legs and looked around the room. “This study is very nice. Yunyun, should I get one like this too?”

“Mr. Hou, you didn’t come here just to discuss interior decoration, did you?” Zhang Fujio didn’t give Feng Yun a chance to answer. He was eager to find out the other party’s intentions.

“Alright, I’ll get straight to the point.” Hou Longtao’s expression was no longer frivolous. He took out a piece of paper from his inner pocket and pushed it to the center of the table. “This is the contact information for ‘East Star’ representatives. I think they will want all the Lexus production lines, at a unit price of three hundred and fifty US dollars, with no room for negotiation.”

“Are you kidding me?” Zhang Fujio knew that the other party was referring to the tailpipe purifier.

“Do you think it’s funny? When it comes to business matters, I never joke.”

“Then are you ordering me? Do you have the right to do so?”

“I am ordering you. As for whether I have the right, hmph…” Hou Longtao didn’t finish his sentence… (How Could a Golden Dragon Be Confined to a Pond)
