When the 6th Destroyer Squadron launched an attack on the warehouse, Chen Yu was watching Inomata Naoki walk into the alley, heading toward Minami's small shop.
Seeing him enter the shop that emitted a dim yellowish glow, only then did Chen Yu start his car and leave the area.
The provocation against Inomata Naoki today was somewhat coincidental, but also inevitable.
It was coincidental because Chen Yu hadn't planned to talk about this with Inomata Naoki today; their encounter was purely accidental, a mere happenstance.
But even though it wasn't something Chen Yu intended to discuss today, the matter between Inomata Naoki and Minami, which Chen Yu had been scheming about for so long, had clearly reached the point where it was time to reel it in. At such a moment, Chen Yu's words were meant to provoke Inomata Naoki, to make him realize his feelings for Minami—an action Chen Yu was bound to take sooner or later.
The only difference was timing, but the outcome remained unchanged.
