Propelled headlong into the relentless currents of history, Ji Yu finds himself transplanted to the tumultuous prelude to WWII.
Once an ordinary civil servant in his modern existence, Ji Yu i...
Kitaoka Ryoko put away her briefcase, stepped back to the edge of the tea table, put on her military boots, stood up, bowed, and said again, "I'm sorry, Fujiwara-kun, I apologize for disturbing you this time, but I would like to ask you to reconsider. I look forward to your reply!"
Ning Zhiheng's face was ashen. He looked at Kitaoka Ryoko and said solemnly, "Miss Ryoko, please reconsider. If you take this box of US dollars, we can still be friends. But if you insist on going your own way, once you step out this door, we will be enemies. And I never show mercy to my enemies!"
The chill in her tone made Kitaoka Ryoko feel as if the temperature in the room had dropped several degrees; this was an unbridled and forceful threat!
She had finally come to this point, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful for her rash decision. But she still wanted to take a gamble, hoping that Fujiwara Tomohito would eventually give in and accept her terms.
Kitaoka Ryoko gritted her teeth silently, turned around and walked towards the door, opened the door, and left.
Kimura Maki, who had been waiting at the door, entered the room and looked at Ning Zhiheng. Ning Zhiheng nodded to him with a deep gaze. Kimura Maki immediately bowed and left.
Watching them leave, Ning Zhiheng picked up his teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and spoke with murderous intent.
Those who disturb my peace of mind must not be allowed to live!
The teacup slammed heavily onto the table!
The negotiation between Kitaoka Ryoko and Ning Zhiheng did not last long. When they left the room, there were still quite a few people lingering in the club. They smiled and greeted Kitaoka Ryoko as she walked quickly away.
"Miss Ryoko, you're leaving so soon!"
"Yes, Miss Ryoko, you should come here more often when you have time. I'm so tired of seeing these old men all the time, haha!"
Kitaoka Ryoko forced a smile, exchanged a few pleasantries, and quickly left. She didn't want to stay there for even a second longer and had to get out as soon as possible. If the negotiations broke down, Fujiwara Tomohito would definitely take measures against her, and she had to prepare a countermeasure!
She quickened her pace, exited the gates of the Mulan Academy, glanced around, and arrived at her car. Iwai no Nakasa leaned out and asked, "Team leader, how's the situation?"
Seeing that Iwai nosuke was unharmed, Kitaoka Ryoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Fujiwara Tomohito still had some reservations and would not immediately make a move against her.
"Let's hurry, let's get out of here!"
Kitaoka Ryoko opened the back door and got into the back seat of the sedan. Iwai Nosuke immediately started the car and asked, "Team leader, where are we going? Back to headquarters?"
Kitaoka Ryoko thought for a moment and said, "The negotiations have failed! Let's go to the government office first, and I'll wait for him for a few more days. If Fujiwara Tomohito changes his mind, we still have a chance."
Kitaoka Ryoko kept pondering in her heart, still harboring a sliver of hope for Fujiwara Tomohito, hoping that he could change his mind.
If it turns out that Fujiwara no Tomohito will not agree to support her, she will release Hirayama Jiro to assassinate Fujiwara no Tomohito. At that time, the Fujiwara Society will be leaderless and in chaos, and naturally no one will still care about causing trouble for her.
If things go smoothly, once Hirayama Jiro kills Fujiwara Tomohito and Kagesa Hiroki, and then I silence Hirayama Jiro, all the problems will disappear!
As Kitaoka Ryoko secretly planned her next move, she looked back through the rear window to observe the situation behind her car. She soon discovered that two cars were following her car at a distance.
Kitaoka Ryoko was startled. Someone was following her at this time. Judging from the tracking skills, the person was not an experienced expert. It must be a bodyguard sent by Fujiwara Tomohito.
Kitaoka Ryoko warned Iwai Nosuke, who was driving, "Iwai-kun, someone's following us!"
Iwai no Nakaji quickly turned to look in the rearview mirror, nodded, and said, "I'll shake them off!"
After saying that, Iwai Nosuke stepped on the gas and sped up. The car drove quickly down the street, and the two cars behind him also sped up and followed without any attempt to hide their actions.
Kitaoka Ryoko sensed something was wrong; the other party's actions were definitely not stalking, but rather a move to take something more direct.
"Quick, they're trying to attack us! Shake them off!"
Iwai no Naosuke said, "There are a lot of vehicles and pedestrians on this road, so we can't pick up speed. I know a shortcut that can shake them off."
Kitaoka Ryoko was overjoyed and, without suspecting anything, nodded and said, "Great! You know the local roads so well, let's go!"
Kitaoka Ryoko had only been in Shanghai for a little over six months and was not familiar with these alleyways, while Iwai Nosuke had been in Shanghai for many years and was far more familiar with the area than Kitaoka Ryoko.
Iwai nosuke looked at the roadside, finally selected an alley, turned the steering wheel, and the vehicle quickly turned into it.
After entering the alley, the vehicle turned east and west, and soon arrived at a secluded road with few pedestrians in sight.
But soon Kitaoka Ryoko realized something was wrong. Iwai Nosuke's speed hadn't increased much, but the road was becoming increasingly remote. She quickly asked, "Iwai-kun, where are we?"
As he asked the question, his hand reached for the pistol at his waist.
But the vehicle suddenly braked hard, catching Kitaoka Ryoko off guard. Before she could react, her body was suddenly thrown forward.
Just as she regained her balance and was about to look up, a gun was pressed against her forehead!
"Don't move!" Iwai nosuke's voice rang out as he slowly pressed the muzzle of his gun against the back of Kitaoka Ryoko's seat. "Hands up above your heads, team leader. You know my skills; you can't be faster than me!"
