Tang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed these Japanese were really capable of causing trouble. They could even get their hands on such secret things from the military; it showed just how well they had infiltrated.
Tang Yue's consciousness directly covered the entire ship. It was fortunate that she came today, otherwise the formula for the truth serum would have been leaked.
At that moment, Kao Jie was whispering to one of his best friends. The two had been sent to China together, but because of their different specialties, they were assigned to different areas of infiltration.
Unexpectedly, they were able to return to China together, and both were overjoyed to have returned home alive. They began to chat about their experiences in China. Tang Yue listened with a mixture of emotions. However, the man named Kao Jie remained silent, refusing to say a word. Tang Yue grew anxious.
She was considering whether to go over and confront that guy right now. Just then, she heard her friend ask in a low voice, "What's truth serum? Is it really like the name suggests?"
Kao Jie raised an eyebrow. "Indeed, I've heard it's incredibly effective. Once you drink it, there's no question no one can ask you."
His friend was incredulous. "My God, what an achievement! Do you know the person who completed this mission? I'd love to meet him and learn from him. If I have the chance to come to China again, I'll definitely complete such an outstanding mission."
Kao Jie sighed slightly, "After making inquiries from various sources, all I know is that a woman named Aoi is responsible for taking that thing back to Japan for research. But I don't know Aoi."
His friend became interested and gestured towards Kosei with a glass full of champagne. "Kosei, I don't think this is difficult. We can get to know each lady. That way, we're sure to find the beautiful Aoi."
Tang Yue found the way these people spoke strange; they made a perfectly normal sentence sound so mushy.
"Aoi?" Since they didn't recognize her, she'd better look for her herself. Many people had already returned to their cabins. After all, just a few days ago they were scattered across various parts of China, rushing from different places to catch this ship. Some were truly exhausted and just wanted to rest.
Tang Yue's consciousness swept over everyone, but she didn't hear the name Kui. She then searched each room one by one. It's true what they say about the Japanese being open-minded; they had only been on the ship for less than an hour, and many had already returned to their cabins with the geishas provided on board.
Tang Yue always remembered that she was still a child; she had no particular fetishes and didn't want to offend her ears. She basically avoided rooms with unpleasant noises.
Anyway, the ship can't dock in a day, so she has a day or two to find someone. Truth serum is definitely a very important thing, and they absolutely cannot ignore it.
Just as Tang Yue was thinking about whether to call it quits for tonight, she caught a voice in her mind, and the voice was very familiar.
“Mr. Gao Qiao, please prove your identity, otherwise I cannot hand over the items.”
“Ms. Maki, I also need you to prove that you are the real Aoi.”
Maki stared intently at the man before her. They had exchanged a secret signal when they boarded the ship. However, having found common ground, they took care of their physical needs in their room before deciding to get down to business.
Shota Takahashi dressed slowly and deliberately, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket with some Japanese writing on it and casually handed it to Maki.
Maki simply put on a coat, stretched out her arm to take the paper, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing its contents. "Okay, Mr. Takahashi, we now know each other completely."
After speaking, she put her arms around Takahashi's shoulders. Takahashi pulled her arms down, "Ms. Maki, I think it's time for us to get down to business."
Maki looked indifferent. "No, Mr. Takahashi, I'm not happy right now, so I don't want to talk about serious matters."
She was smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Takahashi looked directly into Maki's eyes. "Ms. Maki, you know that what we're doing now is against the rules. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Maki pressed herself against him again, but Takahashi pulled her away once more. He hadn't expected this woman to be so thirsty, and at the same time, he regretted that he shouldn't have been lustful when he first met her; he should have taken care of things first.
God knows how happy he was when he received this assignment; he was almost ecstatic. He had been researching various medicines for nearly 30 years, and apart from germs, no other medicine had ever had such miraculous effects.
To obtain the samples as soon as possible, he traveled to China by ship, hoping to quickly analyze the components and expedite production. The sooner they had a finished product, the sooner they could control those they wanted to control.
But just now, as if bewitched by the beautiful woman before him, he led his men in a fierce and exhilarating battle. Yet now, this man doesn't want to hand over the item.
Seeing the woman in front of him acting indifferent, Takahashi Shota narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, and grabbed Maki by the neck.
"Ms. Maki, I think you've got our location wrong. You're just here to deliver something to me. What? Are you putting on airs? Do you know what kind of attitude you're displaying?"
Maki struggled for a moment when her neck was grabbed, then she stopped moving and smiled while staring into Shota Takahashi's eyes.
Shota Takahashi was furious; he felt like he was making a fool of himself. "What are you laughing at?"
Maki struggled to hold onto Shota Takahashi's neck. She couldn't speak because her neck was being squeezed, but she still tried her best to bring her mouth close.
