The police officers who were monitoring the area near the Zhang family's house saw the gate open, and a man walk out, looking around furtively. He then quickly disappeared from the Zhang family's doorway.
The police quickly gave chase, but they couldn't keep up with the man from the Zhang family and soon lost him. Surrounded by darkness, the man had vanished without a trace. The officers on surveillance had no choice but to return empty-handed and report to their superiors.
The man who came out of the Zhang family quickly headed up the mountain. He relied on the moonlight to move around in the village, but when he reached the foot of the mountain, he took out a flashlight to light the way.
He didn't actually know he was being followed; he was simply moving fast. When he reached his destination, a man in military uniform was already waiting for him.
Sato-kun, the man in black bowed respectfully to the man in military uniform. The beam of the man in military uniform's flashlight shone on the face of the man in black.
The face of the man in black was revealed under the light; it was Zhang Yizhu from the Zhang family. Standing in front of Zhang Yizhu was the Japanese man from Japan who had spoken with Zhang Yizhu deep in the mountains that day.
Zhang Yizhu, the man in military uniform called Sato-kun, spoke in broken Mandarin as Zhang Yizhu. We're preparing to take action against that old bastard surnamed Huang.
Go back to your village and check if there's anything unusual about that old man's house. Then find a way to lure him to your house. I'll arrange for someone to hide there, and once the old man is inside, my men will capture him and take him away.
The day after tomorrow, you make your move. Tomorrow night I'll arrange for someone to enter your house. Don't underestimate that old man; he's an outstanding military medic in the Chinese army. Remember that, I want everything to be foolproof.
"Yes, Sato-kun, I'll take care of things. Please rest assured." Zhang Yizhu lowered his posture and adopted a sincere attitude.
Alright, Yamamoto Isshu-kun, you are a loyal subject of my Sakura Empire. I will speak on your behalf before the Emperor of the Sakura Empire. From now on, we will bring you and your family to the Sakura Empire.
We'll let you live a dream life, with money and status, and enjoy the treatment of princes.
Yes, thank you for your high regard, Sato-kun. I, Yamamoto Kazuki, will swear to serve Sato-kun, the Sakura Empire, and the Emperor with my life.
Haha, Yamamoto Kazuhiro is indeed a pragmatic man. Go back and do a great job on the mission.
After leaving the mountain, Zhang Yizhu returned to the Zhang family home. Once home, he changed his clothes and hid somewhere. Returning to his room, he saw his sleeping wife and went to bed as well.
Zhang Yizhu was lost in thought. He had learned at the age of sixteen that his father was a descendant of a citizen of the Sakura Empire. His grandfather was from the Sakura Empire, and his grandmother was from China.
Grandpa came to China and fell in love with Grandma. Soon after, they held a wedding ceremony at Grandma's house. After Dad was born, Grandpa returned to the Sakura Empire to visit relatives and was never heard from again.
Later, a severe drought struck, and the villagers fled in all directions. My grandmother and father also fled with the villagers, but my grandmother fell ill and died on the way.
Only my father, a boy of about ten years old, was left, and he eventually ended up in Sujia Village. Later, after my father got married and had children, my grandfather somehow found a place for him to stay.
Someone was sent to fetch Father, and Father and Grandpa recognized each other. Father became a subject of the Sakura Empire and served the Emperor.
