Capítulo 81: TTW Chapter 81: Aftermath (2)
Upon hearing these words, everyone was taken aback by Lin Yi's audacity.
Lin Yi's statement was nothing less than a call to cleanse all government high officials and parliament members.
"I agree!"
Breaking the silence, the first one to raise his hand was unexpectedly Marude. He didn't look well, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for days. The incident with Yoshitoki had also dealt a heavy blow to him.
"There's no longer anyone trustworthy in the parliament. No matter how the public views us, at this moment, we are the last line of defense for the entire nation. Only we can do this," Marude said with determination. "Regardless of who the Washuu Clan really is and what their intentions are, letting them take root in the government, the parliament, and even possibly hiding within the higher ranks of the CCG is a betrayal to the people. They must be completely eradicated."
"But, Marude-boy, won't this be equivalent to..." Mougan Tanakamaru's voice began, but he hesitated, leaving his sentence unfinished.
Equivalent to rebelling? He completed the thought in his mind.
"Then let's vote. Those who agree with my plan, please raise your hands." Lin Yi decisively concluded, glancing across the room and raising his own hand first.
Marude immediately raised his hand, and Shinohara Yukinori and Iwao Kuroiwa exchanged glances before also choosing to trust Lin Yi.
After much hesitation, Kiyoko Aura and Mougan Tanakamaru also raised their hands in agreement.
"Unanimously passed. Now, I will temporarily take over as CCG Director. I ask for your assistance in resolving this matter completely," Lin Yi spoke with unwavering confidence. When Kiyoko Aura and Mougan Tanakamaru raised their hands, it was equivalent to acknowledging Lin Yi's authority.
Everyone responded in agreement.
Lin Yi continued, "Regarding the protests outside, I will handle them and call a press conference to directly expose the evil deeds of the Yoshitoki family."
"Mr. Yukinori. Mr. Marude."
Lin Yi suddenly called out their names.
The two stood up and respectfully bowed to Lin Yi.
"You two should immediately gather your respective teams and surround the parliament. Based on the information provided by Arima, detain all individuals related to the Washuu Clan and subject them to thorough investigations."
"Yes."
The two agreed and swiftly left the meeting room.
"Miss Aura, please continue your previous work to ensure the smooth operation of the headquarters. Additionally, conduct a strict review of all departments. From now on, every CCG member must undergo three reviews to ensure that no one slips through the cracks."
"Understood," Kiyoko Aura nodded.
Lin Yi's delegation of tasks was well thought out. Marude's deep-seated hatred for the Washuu Clan and Shinohara Yukinori's loyalty to his friends made them the most suitable candidates for such critical missions.
"The rest of you, return to your respective branches and conduct thorough investigations to prevent any infiltration. Maintain the status quo."
Lin Yi concluded with these instructions before adjourning the meeting.
Everyone immediately took action. Some were not entirely without guilt in breaking the law but were hesitant to face the consequences.
With the reputation of Shinohara Yukinori and Marude, who had participated in numerous significant battles throughout CCG's history, their words carried great weight.
With their call, even without official orders from the parliament, all investigators at the headquarters were willing to follow them.
This demonstrated Lin Yi's talent in utilizing people effectively.
Now, Lin Yi had replaced Arima and become the most powerful force in CCG. However, being strong did not automatically make him trustworthy; he was still too young. In the eyes of CCG's investigators, he couldn't compare to someone like Shinohara Yukinori, who had been a Special Class Investigator for over a decade and was trusted.
But Lin Yi had gained popularity among the masses.
Outside the CCG headquarters, thousands of people had gathered with protest banners and signs, throwing vegetables and garbage at the gates, demanding explanations from CCG.
However, as soon as Lin Yi stepped out, everything fell silent.
Akira, acting as his secretary, held a file folder and followed closely behind him.
Once Lin Yi stopped, Akira handed him a microphone.
In front of thousands of people, Lin Yi announced that he was temporarily taking over as the CCG Director and would cleanse the organization from within and restructure the parliament. This announcement put an end to the matter completely.
To everyone's surprise, instead of causing an uproar, it led to unexpected cheers.
This was the kind of influence Lin Yi had now.
Seeing thousands of people cheering his name, Lin Yi could somewhat understand why some celebrities in his previous life had so many passionate fans.
It could only be said that CCG had utilized media manipulation to portray him as the people's guardian, and this had proven to be incredibly crucial.
The two major forces controlled by the Washuu Clan were the clandestine organization "V" and the public organization CCG.
But now, CCG had completely rebelled, and both of "V's" strongest members, Kichimura Washuu and Kishou Arima, had perished.
Faced with Lin Yi's powerful authority to investigate, there was no significant resistance. Any minor attempts at resistance were quickly suppressed.
This event could be described as completely reshuffling the political high-ranks of Tokyo. Without exception, Lin Yi replaced officials and parliamentarians with those who were loyal to him.
In other words, people who had already sided with him during this major purge.
With Lin Yi temporarily serving as the CCG Director, he directly entered the parliament and became one of the CCG Parliament members. However, it was more like a one-sided decision.
