Chapter 104 Seeking Help

Subsequently, with the covert assistance of the Japanese, Su Yu was promoted further, becoming the deputy director of the second section of the planning department within the fourth bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing government. At just over thirty years old, achieving such a high position was considered a smooth and successful career!

This club was a place Su Yu frequented. Since successfully turning Su Yu to the side, Takeda Kaede had gradually reduced the number of times he came here. According to the rules, unless there are special circumstances, even a group of two intelligence agents are not allowed to make horizontal contact.

“I knew you would come here every weekend, so I came to see you today!” Takeda Kaede took a sip of orange juice, put down the glass, and said calmly.

“Takeda-kun, you’ve been a bit rash this time. We shouldn’t have too much interaction; it’s against the rules!” Su Yu said in a low voice.

"That was under normal circumstances. Now I'm having some difficulties and need your help! I think you, my old classmate, won't refuse my request, right?" By the end, Takeda Kaede's tone had become increasingly fierce, clearly using his power to intimidate him!

Su Yu felt a sudden headache coming on. Wu Tianfeng held some of his secrets, which was one of the reasons why he was able to successfully turn Su Yu against him two years ago.

Speaking to him in this tone now is clearly a threat. Considering his illustrious background and the immense power of the Takeda family, he cannot afford to resist in the slightest!

Su Yu grinned with a wry smile and said in a low voice, "Of course, I can't refuse Takeda-kun's request. Tell me, what do you need my help with!"

Seeing Su Yu's expected submission, Wu Tianfeng smiled with satisfaction and said, "One of my hideouts was burgled, and a lot of things were stolen. I want to find the thief and get the stolen items back!"

"What are all these things?" Su Yu asked.

After a moment's hesitation, Takeda Kaede decided to tell Su Yu, since he still needed Su Yu to find the seal, and he couldn't hide it from him anyway. So he said directly, "Some cash and gold bars, that's nothing, they're gone! But... but two of my treasured jade artifacts are also missing! One is a jade magatama that my father gave me as a coming-of-age gift, and most importantly, the Takeda family crest seal is also gone!" After saying that, a flash of anger appeared in Takeda Kaede's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and his calm expression returned!

"What? You lost something so important?" Su Yu was shocked. He had studied in Japan and knew that Japanese nobles often had heirlooms passed down through generations.

The seal of the Takeda family crest must be a very important token. I didn't expect things to be this serious. No wonder Takeda Kaede disregarded the organization's rules and came directly to us for help. Come to think of it, I'm the only one in Nanjing who can help him now! The forces behind him are too far away to reach him!

However, since it is the crest of the Takeda family, wouldn't it be recognized? If someone is interested, they will definitely notice. You know, the relationship between China and Japan is tense right now, and there is a lot of hatred towards the Japanese. Doing this would obviously carry the risk of exposure. Su Yu sensed the danger involved.

So he refused, saying, "Takeda-kun, this is too risky! It's like playing with fire; it will burn us both to ashes!"
