Five hourster.


    The sky is gradually brightening.


    In Tokyo, a hint of white light spreads across the horizon.


    A new day is dawning. While many people are waking from their deep slumber, countless others have not slept at all.


    Last night, Tokyo experienced a chaotic upheaval.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department mobilized all avable resources, even calling in reinforcements from nearby cities. They uncovered a shocking situation in the heart of Tokyo, resulting in the closure of all roads leading out of the city. Checkpoints were established to inspect every vehicle, all aimed at uncovering the whereabouts of the Banks siblings.


    For the entire night, Tokyo was effectively under martialw!


    The vignt media quickly caught wind of the news: the eldest grandson and granddaughter of China’s first family had been kidnapped in Tokyo, with dozens of their entourage tragically killed.


    This kind of news is unprecedented!


    Although Tokyo has faced terrorist attacks and serious crimes in the past, nothing has ever been this severe!


    After all, the Banks Family is the wealthiest and most influential family in China.


    The gravity of this criminal incident in Japan surpasses even the notorious kidnapping of Bill Gates in Tokyo.


    The Banks Family had spent half the night in Tokyo, not only backed by hundreds of skilled operatives but also with Zayne personally involved.


    The presence of Zayne was taken very seriously by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, leading the director to invite him to the station for a briefing on the ongoing investigation.


    This so-called investigation process, however, primarily involved bringing in Machi Takahashi and Yuhiko Ito for questioning.<fn5c40> The rightful source is Find~Novel</fn5c40>


    In the eyes of the police, both were considered suspects.


    Moreover, both men believed the other was trying to frame them.


    Yuhiko Ito suspected that Takahashi was using this incident as a ploy to tarnish the Ito family’s reputation, hoping to eliminate thempletely in the eyes of the Banks Family.


    Conversely, Maki Takahashi believed Yuhiko Ito was trying to manipte the situation to his advantage, leaving behind a ninja dart belonging to the Tenglin family as a means of framing him.


    The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department found themselves in a quandary.


    Despite the apparent motives of the two suspects, the police were unable to find any concrete evidence linking them to the crime.


    The only piece of evidence was the ninja dart found at the scene.


    This dart indeed belonged to the Tenglin family, known to be associated with the Takahashi family, a fact well-known among Tokyo’s elite and, of course, to the police.


    However, this evidence raised questions.


    No one was injured by the dart, and the perpetrator had skillfully eliminated over a dozen victims without leaving any witnesses. Why would such a skilled killer leave behind a useless dart?


    This could very well be a red herring meant to mislead the investigators.


    Consequently, the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department addressed Zayne: “Mr. Banks, we must continue our investigation. Relying solely on the ninja dart is insufficient; it’s likely a decoy designed to misdirect us.”


    Zayne, with a stern expression, responded to the director: “I don’t care if it’s a decoy! If the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department can locate my son and daughter within 24 hours and ensure their safety, I won’t pursue this matter further. However, if 24 hours pass without results, or if any harmes to them, I will make this situation public and ensure the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department faces severe repercussions!”


    The head of the Metropolitan Police Department felt the weight of the world on his shoulders.
