He originally wanted a group of underlings who could be at his beck and call and provide him with intelligence.
But now, looking back, the longing and hope in the eyes of those who shaved their heads and ultimately stayed in the group were so heavy; it was the life of a person, so profound.
And now, he is their leader.
I have to take responsibility and can't keep letting these kids run wild like this.
From an adult's perspective, Dou Tang felt it was necessary and his duty to lead this group of delinquent teenagers.
With a serious attitude.
“Yangping.” Dou Tang suddenly looked up.
Yangping, who was sharing funny stories from the group with Doutang, looked at Doutang with a puzzled expression. "Hmm? Kiryu-nii, what's wrong?"
“Let’s take over Tokyo,” Dou Tang suddenly said.
Hinata was stunned.
"To conquer all high schools, rule all delinquents, beat up all biker gangs and become a legend in the delinquent world, and ultimately, live our lives to the fullest without regrets."
Dou Tang spoke with utmost seriousness, enunciating each word clearly.
Yangping stared at him blankly, seemingly lost in thought, when suddenly, two streams of tears welled up in her eyes.
"Ah...ah, Kiryu-nii, okay, I'll do whatever you say!"
Dou Tang stood up, looked at Yang Ping, and smiled, "I want to help you graduate from being delinquents and become real, upright people who can live a good life from now on."
"If your parents can't give you encouragement, then we can. If your teachers don't approve of your future, then we'll prove them right."
"Delinquent teenagers who suffer endless scorn can still live a happy life; that's our next goal."
Dou Tang reached out his hand.
"Let's work together as my assistant."
"If I represent force, then you are the central figure responsible for maintaining everyone's order. Thank you for your hard work."
Yangping reached out and tightly grasped Doutang's hand, his eyes already brimming with tears.
"Yes... Kiryu-nii, we definitely, we definitely can."
"So... what do we do next?"
Dou Tang sneered: "Of course, it's to solve the immediate crisis."
Yangping wiped away his tears: "A headless dog?"
“That’s right.” Dou Tang nodded. “No matter what, they’re causing trouble under my name. I didn’t have time to deal with them before, but now that I have the time, of course I can’t let those guys get away with it!”
"So, what does Kiryu-nii plan to do?" Yohei asked curiously.
"I'm going to get some information on the headless dogs, at least to find out how many squads they have and how many captains they have. In the end, I'll catch that bastard who's impersonating me and make their act of bullying others completely fall apart."
After Dou Tang finished speaking, he nodded to Yang Ping, indicating that she should lie down and rest, and then took out his phone.
He called, and the phone rang for a while before it was answered.
The person on the other end of the phone said directly, "You haven't contacted me for over a month. I thought you had died in Puan City."
"I've watched the videos online too... those things are real, right? It's terrifying that such things actually exist in the world."
Dou Tang smiled.
"Star Man... I need your help with something."
Xingyi on the other end of the phone said helplessly, "You're calling me, is there nothing else you want besides asking for my help?"
Chapter 159 A mundane life
after an hour.
When Dou Tang went upstairs, he saw that the door to Xing Yiren's office had been replaced by an ordinary glass door, no longer the heavy vault door it used to have.
He pushed open the door and went in, and saw Xingyi sitting in a chair looking very melancholy, smoking a cigar.
"Why do you look so bitter and resentful? Don't you want to see me?" Dou Tang asked.
"How could that be—I'm so happy you came back alive from Urayasu!" Hoshino said sarcastically, then added, "What worries me is that Tokyo is getting more and more chaotic lately, sigh."
"Take a look at this." He pushed a newspaper towards him.
Dou Tang picked up the newspaper and looked at it, and found that it was almost entirely filled with criminal cases. In the past month, the number of murders and disappearances had almost doubled.
Dou Tang frowned.
Xingyi sighed and said, "Let's get down to business. What was it that you asked me to help with before?"
"I need information on the headless dog, as much as you can, the more detailed the better," Dou Tang said bluntly.
Xingyi's eyes lit up: "Oh? You just got back and you're already going to deal with the headless dog? That's great news..."
"So, the rumors that you are the leader of the Headless Dogs are false?"
"Of course it's fake," Dou Tang said unhappily.
“Okay, I’ll help you with this, but…” Xingyiren said halfway through, his eyes giving a meaningful look.
"Just say what you want to say." Dou Tang understood that he was trying to negotiate with him, so he waved his hand.
"Help me handle some small matters at hand." Xing Yiren took out a few sheets of paper and handed them to Dou Tang.
Dou Tang took it and saw that it contained several addresses.
"These were provided by the girls who work under me. Some are the girls' own addresses, and some are their friends' addresses."
"What's wrong with these people?" Dou Tang asked curiously.
“These people all say they’ve seen ghosts and are possessed by evil spirits.” Xingyi pointed at Doutang. “I immediately thought of you. You’re the most reliable exorcist I know, and most importantly, you’re not a fraud.”
"So, could you do me a favor and take care of these trivial matters? Of course, there's no rush; it can be done after the headless dog incident."
Dou Tang folded the paper, put it in his pocket, and nodded: "Evil spirits that don't cause sudden death are generally not serious. I'll deal with it as soon as I finish dealing with the headless dog. It'll be quick."
Xingyi smiled and took out a USB drive, placing it on the table.
Dou Tang picked up the USB drive, realizing it might contain information about the headless dog. He frowned and looked at Xing Yiren, saying, "You were prepared all along? Why would you collect information about the headless dog?"
Hoshino Yoshito shrugged and said, "Get this straight, I also have businesses in Ikebukuro. Since those guys are so arrogant, of course I have to keep an eye on them."
"Even if you and those bald guys didn't make a move, the Morning Star Group was already planning to teach those guys a lesson. They needed to make them understand the difference between the Yakuza and the biker gangs, right?"
"So you got this for free?" Dou Tang raised one eyebrow.
“That’s right, exactly.” Xingyi took a puff of his cigar and added, “By the way, kid, welcome back… Shall I throw a banquet to welcome you back?”
"I'll also introduce you to some of the team members, since we'll have many opportunities to work together in the future."
Dou Tang shook his head decisively: "No need, I don't want to get too involved with the extreme sects. You alone are enough."
"You bastard, you really think I'm your intelligence broker?!" Hoshino said with a laugh.
Dou Tang stood up with the USB drive in his hand, shook it, and said, "It's not that bad, but I really'm not in the mood to meet any more people right now. Okay, I'm leaving now."
Xingyi muttered a couple of things and continued smoking his cigar.
When Dou Tang was almost at the elevator, Xing Yiren said again, "Hey kid, be careful, don't get hurt."
Dou Tang waved his hand without saying a word and entered the elevator.
………………
Back downstairs at his apartment building, Dou Tang's phone suddenly rang.
Incoming caller ID: Kyoko Tominaga.
Ms. Kyoko... Damn!
I've been skipping classes for over a month now! And at this hour... Halloween has just passed, and exams are just around the corner!
Dou Tang was immediately taken aback in Bengbu.
Living in a different world, and still having to cram for exams... This life is too tough!
Dou Tang answered the phone helplessly, saying, "Teacher Xingzi..."
"Kyoko-sensei? You still remember I'm a teacher, right? Kiryu-kun?"
Ms. Kyoko on the other end of the phone was clearly a little angry.
Dou Tang said dryly, "Um... Ms. Xingzi, please believe me, all of this can be explained."
"Explain?" Ms. Kyoko's voice rose several octaves: "Fine, explain to me what you've been doing for the past month and a half?"
Dou Tang swallowed hard, a plan forming in his mind. He pinched his throat, feigning pain, and said, "Teacher Xingzi... I didn't want to either, I..."
I was scammed when I went to Pu'an City to work!
"Urayasu City was so chaotic, I almost got caught up in a murder case! The police protected me for a long time, and I've only now returned safely to Tokyo!"
Ms. Kyoko, on the other end of the phone, was taken aback and stammered, "Ah, ah? Really?"
"Kiryu-kun, are you alright? Did the police say anything? Are you and your sister okay?"
"Uh, it's okay, Ms. Kyoko. We're home safely now. We'll be going back to school soon after we finish cooperating with the police's final investigation. I promise!" Dou Tang said as he went upstairs.
"Eh, is the police still investigating?" Ms. Kyoko seemed a little surprised. "Then, could this cause trouble..."
"How about this, Kiryu-kun, I'd like to make a home visit to your house soon, okay?"
Dou Tang was a little confused. The bald delinquents had encountered many teachers who were just going through the motions, so why was the one they had encountered so dedicated?
"No, no need, teacher..."
"No, it's settled then. Let me take a look... Hmm, this Saturday will do! I'll come to your house for a home visit this Saturday! Kiryu-kun, I'll contact you then!"
Just as Dou Tang was about to stop her, he heard a voice calling from the other end of the phone. Kyoko-sensei responded and then hurriedly said, "Alright, Kiryu-kun, I have to go to a meeting. Wait for my call later! Don't you dare not answer my call this time!"
After hanging up the phone, Dou Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief, arrived at his front door, and opened it to go inside.
He was speechless as soon as he entered the room.
In the living room, Mikazuki and Kaine, both wearing only their underwear, faced off, each wielding a wooden sword they had bought sometime during the night. They were drenched in sweat and engaged in a fierce sparring match.
The wooden knives clashed together, making a crackling sound.
Looking at the scene before him, Dou Tang suddenly realized something: Mikazuki wouldn't be able to explain it then!
Hmm... I guess I'll just have to let her go out for a while.
Chapter 160 Iwabuchi Mei Encounters Danger
When Dou Tang got home, he cooked for the two girls, then took out the laptop he had gotten from Lu Zizhen and plugged in the USB drive to watch something.
The intelligence contained here is incredibly detailed, including both photos and text. It includes not only numerous secretly taken photos but also files entered into the official system, indicating that many members of the Headless Dogs gang have criminal records.
The Headless Dogs are divided into five squads: Squad 1, Squad 2, Squad 3, Squad 4, Squad 5, and Squad 6.
Among them, Yagino and Yagino are brothers. Yagino is currently the backbone of the headless dog. At the same time, there is also a mysterious... unknown so-called Kiryu Toudou.
The intelligence report stated that Kiryu Toudou would attend every gathering, but he never revealed his true identity, making him extremely mysterious.
Dou Tang felt relieved, at least no one actually appeared who looked exactly like him. If a real and fake Dou Tang had appeared, Dou Tang thought he might have been so angry that he would have killed someone in public.
Huaiyin leaned her little head closer, sniffed Doutang first, and said with some disgust, "Ugh, you smell like a cigar, where did you go, brother?"
"Find someone to buy information," Dou Tang said, scratching his head.
Looking at the computer in front of her, Huaiyin pouted and said, "Bōsōzoku... they look so fierce, but they don't seem as scary as before."
Dou Tang said, "Now that you're an exorcist who can fight evil spirits all by yourself, of course you won't be afraid of ordinary people."
"Is brother going to deal with them?" Huaiyin's eyes lit up. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Dou Tang gave her a rather strange look: "What do you want to do? Go and fight with me?"
Huaiyin nodded excitedly.
Dou Tang stuck out a finger and poked her head, saying, "Impossible. I don't want you to become a delinquent or anything like that. Don't give me that."
"I've broken the law many times, but you can't."
I've made too many mistakes...
Huaiyin, who could already roughly understand some Chinese slang, felt rather helpless.
"Alright then... I won't care about you anymore, brother."
