Chapter 934: Chapter 935 Intimidation

Matsumoto Koji quickly returned to the hotel, pulling two young starlets into the bedroom. After just a little excitement, he noticed a change in his body.

"It’s working! It’s working!" The two starlets couldn’t help but exclaim.

Matsumoto Koji laughed heartily, but after a couple of laughs, his face revealed an expression of fear. He felt an eerie chill in his heart—Song Xiaodong was truly terrifying.

With just a light tap on his body, Song could completely control him. This kind of ability was beyond what any ordinary human could comprehend.

Suddenly, he understood why the Zhou Family and the Qiao Family didn’t dare to confront Song Xiaodong head-on. Clearly, they were wary and didn’t want to provoke him directly. Yet they had pushed him to the frontlines—what a despicable trap.

The two starlets were clinging to Matsumoto Koji, but his face darkened. With a cold gaze, he looked at them and asked, "What’s your relationship with Zhou Zhengfang and Qiao Longyang?"

The two starlets didn’t understand why Matsumoto Koji would ask such a thing. One of them promptly replied, "We work for their entertainment company."

"That’s all?" Matsumoto Koji’s eyes grew even colder.

The two starlets felt a chill run through them. The one who had spoken quickly added, "Mr. Matsumoto, that’s really all. Director Zhou said if we pleased you, he’d promote us when we got back."

"I see..." Matsumoto Koji’s gaze softened slightly. He asked, "Have they asked you about the things that happened these past few days?"

The two starlets hesitated, prompting Matsumoto Koji to glare at them and say viciously, "If you don’t tell me the truth, do you believe I’ll kill you right now?"

"We’ll tell! We’ll tell!" The two starlets were terrified. The round-faced one, named Zheng Rong’er, stammered, "Director Zhou asked us if you were still... not functional. We told him that... you really weren’t, no matter what, there was no reaction."

"Did you mention the reason?"

Zheng Rong’er looked confused and said, "The reason? What reason? We don’t know."

Matsumoto Koji turned to the other starlet named Hua Yuling. Frightened, she quickly said, "I don’t know either..."

Matsumoto Koji sighed in relief and said, "Alright. By the way, did you mention anything about the Su Corporation approaching me?"

"Well... I did," Zheng Rong’er replied nervously.

"Baka!" Matsumoto Koji roared angrily, slapping Zheng Rong’er hard across the face.

"Ah!" Zheng Rong’er fell onto the bed, clutching her face and crying. Hua Yuling turned pale with fear and hastily said, "Mr. Matsumoto, you... you didn’t tell us we couldn’t say anything about it."

Matsumoto Koji’s face contorted with rage. "Now, tell me in full detail what exactly you said."

Hua Yuling quickly said, "Director Zhou just asked if someone from the Su Family had come. I said a young person from the Su Family came, who seemed to be the Family Head, and they wanted you to give an explanation. Other than that, we really didn’t remember much or dare to say anything more."

"That’s really all you told them?" Matsumoto Koji stared at the two of them.

Rising to her feet, Zheng Rong’er said anxiously, "That’s really all, Mr. Matsumoto. We didn’t say anything else."

Matsumoto Koji sighed in relief again. "Alright then... alright..."

Hua Yuling cautiously asked, "Mr. Matsumoto... what about us...?"

Matsumoto Koji frowned as he looked at the two of them and said, "From now on, if Zhou Zhengfang or anyone else asks you anything, you’re not allowed to say a word without my order. Do you hear me?"

"We hear you! We hear you!" The two starlets trembled in fear.

"If you dare to spill a word, I’ll make sure you die. But if you cooperate well, I’ll make sure you’re rewarded. That Director Zhou wants to promote you, right? I can do that too."

The two starlets nodded repeatedly.

Watching them, Matsumoto Koji still felt uneasy. He knew he was an outsider, and these two women were Chinese. Even if they stayed by his side for money, their allegiance would never lie with a foreigner like him—especially a Japanese person, given the deep historical animosity between Japan and China.

"I know that by threatening you like this, you’re bound to betray me someday." Matsumoto Koji’s voice turned cold as he looked at them.

The two starlets’ faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly shook their heads in denial.

"I’m not naïve. There’s no point in denying it. In your hearts, I’ll always be a hated Japanese man," Matsumoto Koji said with a rare bit of self-awareness. He then spoke slowly, "Let me tell you something now. I’m currently working for the Su Family. The Patriarch of the Su Family is an extraordinary man. Think about it—when did my issue start?"

"What?" The two starlets froze. Hua Yuling stammered, "You mean... the young Su Family Patriarch caused it?"

"Exactly. Today, I met him. With just a light tap, he cured me. He’s a man of unbelievable power. It’s no surprise he could become a Family Head at such a young age and treat your Zhou and Qiao families as if they were nothing."

After a pause, Matsumoto Koji continued slowly, "You’re not just keeping secrets for me now—you’re protecting the secrets of the Su Family Patriarch. Someone of his caliber... consider what would happen if you offend him. The consequences won’t just be about being blacklisted from the entertainment industry."

Hua Yuling and Zheng Rong’er were dumbfounded. Matsumoto Koji’s words terrified them even further. They had never imagined Song Xiaodong to be so powerful, capable of even subduing Matsumoto Koji.

Facing the Zhou and Qiao families, at least Matsumoto Koji still maintained his arrogant demeanor.

But in their hearts, they found it somewhat easier to reconcile. Having to accompany Matsumoto Koji was an unpleasant necessity. However, helping a Japanese man deceive Chinese people was something their conscience could not accept.

"Next time I meet the Su Family Patriarch, I’ll bring you two along. Then you’ll see for yourselves that I’m not lying. When the time comes, you’ll realize that compared to the likes of Zhou Zhengfang and Qiao Longyang, the Su Family Patriarch is in a league of his own. You’ll know how to make your choice then, won’t you?"
