"Well, I have some information about Hirayama Jiro that I'd like to share with you. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
Kitaoka Ryoko knew that Fujiwara Tomohito was on guard against another assassination attempt by Hirayama Jiro. The fact that the bounty on Hirayama Jiro kept increasing showed how nervous he was about him. She knew that as long as she brought up the matter, Fujiwara Tomohito would definitely meet with her.
Sure enough, the person on the other end of the phone quickly agreed.
"I see. Okay, then I'll be waiting for Miss Ryoko's visit anytime!"
Kitaoka Ryoko smiled and said, "Fujiwara-kun, I think we should meet somewhere else. I haven't been to the Muran Academy in a long time. How about we meet there?"
Kitaoka Ryoko was also uneasy. She held so much incriminating evidence against Fujiwara Tomohito, and if he became enraged during negotiations, it was possible that he could really turn the tables on her.
The Fujiwara Society was Fujiwara Tomohito's territory. Entering it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, leaving her at their mercy. If something went wrong, it would be too late to regret it. Therefore, just in case, she chose to meet at the Muran Society.
Mulan Academy was a gathering place for Japanese scholars and artists in Shanghai, and many people usually gathered there. In such a public place, Fujiwara Tomohito would not do anything to harm him, and his safety was guaranteed.
Kitaoka Ryoko was meticulous and had already made her own plans. Ning Zhiheng was well aware of this when he heard the suggestion. Kitaoka Ryoko was clearly wary of him, which also showed that she must have a lot of evidence against him and was afraid that he would kill her.
So what kind of evidence does she actually possess? What if it's evidence that poses a real threat to him? Ning Zhiheng felt he should be prepared; if things got out of his control, he would have no choice but to take drastic measures.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng readily replied, "Alright, then let's do as Miss Liangzi says. We'll meet at Mulan Academy in half an hour!"
"Alright, see you there!"
After hanging up the phone, Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment, his fingers lightly tapping the table as his mind raced. Soon after, he slammed his hand on the table, strode out of the office, and led his men to the Mulan Academy.
After hanging up the phone, Kitaoka Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief and called Yoshimoto Ichiro and Iwai Nosuke to her office.
"I'll meet with Fujiwara Tomohito in a bit and have a good talk with him to try and get his support!" Kitaoka Ryoko said.
Iwai no Suke's mind was stirred. He hadn't expected Kitaoka Ryoko to act so quickly. He had just reported Kitaoka Ryoko's secret investigation to Chairman Fujiwara yesterday, and today Kitaoka Ryoko was going to confront him. What was going on?
Yoshimoto Ichiro said with some surprise, "Team leader, isn't this a bit rushed?"
Kitaoka Ryoko shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Nakajima-kun's undercover team has all been killed, and the investigation into the Fujiwara Company can no longer proceed. Even if we drag it out any longer, there will be no progress."
At this point, she hesitated for a moment, then whispered again, "I don't feel very confident this time, so I have to take a gamble. If I don't come back, release Hirayama Jiro and give him some help so that he can assassinate Fujiwara Tomohito and Kagesa Hiroki, and stir up the situation in Shanghai. Then we'll wait for you to come back and clean up the mess."
Kitaoka Ryoko's words caused Yoshimoto Ichiro and Iwai Nosuke's expressions to change drastically. They had not expected Kitaoka Ryoko to be so resolute. If either Fujiwara Tomohito or Kagesa Hiroki were to die, the entire city of Shanghai would be plunged into disaster.
In particular, Fujiwara no Tomohito was a direct descendant of the Fujiwara family who was highly valued and loved by Duke Fujiwara no Hirofumi. If he were assassinated, the Duke Fujiwara’s wrath would surely be directed at all the high-ranking officials in Shanghai, and the responsible persons of various departments would be involved and everyone would be held accountable.
Meanwhile, Tsuchihara Keiji, who was not in Shanghai but far away in North China, might easily escape this disaster and become the final winner. Kitaoka Ryoko's plan can only be described as ruthless.
It was only then that Iwai Nosuke remembered something Chairman Fujiwara had said the day before.
"This woman is insane!"
