Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 653: A sigh of relief

"Since Miss Yuriko is so worried about Mr. An and wants to see him, then I will reluctantly help you contact him for your sake. Please wait a moment."

Zhou Zhou turned around and went back to her room. Soon after, she came back with a phone, which was already connected.

Yuriko's eyes lit up when she saw the phone in Zhou Zhou's hand—pretending to be weak was indeed more effective; at least Zhou Zhou had actually helped her contact Mr. An.

"Miss Yuriko, is there something you need?"

Sure enough, Mr. An's gentle voice came through the microphone.

Hearing Mr. An's voice, Yuriko truly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't even understand whether she felt relieved because Mr. An answered her call or because of some unknown secret in her heart.

However, at this moment, Yuriko had no mind to think about so many questions.

“Mr. An, I heard from Takeshi Tano that there’s a conspiracy behind your deal with Takahashi Suki. You must be careful when you do business with him.”

If, if Takahashi Somoku really attacks you, I hope you can guarantee your safety and come back alive.

Because Yuriko will be here waiting for you, always waiting for you.

In front of Zhou Zhou, Yuriko's gaze still held a faint tenderness. Her tears did not stop, and she continued to lower her head, her voice filled with sobs and a hint of expectation.

Yuriko spoke these words slowly and deliberately to Jiang Nian on the other end of the phone.

Seemingly completely unprepared for Yuriko's response, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long pause, Jiang Nian finally spoke slowly: "I'm sorry to have worried Miss Yuriko. I'm fine."

Judging from what Ms. Yuriko said, it seems that your relationship with Mr. Tano Takeshi has improved somewhat.

If Miss Yuriko wants to return to the Tano family, please tell Zhou Zhou, and he will make arrangements for you.

With Zhou Zhou by your side, I believe no one from the Tianye family will dare to say anything, and Tianye Wu won't dare to bully you either.

Hearing that Mr. An was still concerned about her at such a time, Yuriko felt a surge of anxiety.

She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't utter a single word.

"Alright, Miss Yuriko, I have some things to attend to here, so I'll take care of them first. Your matter is more important, so remember to have Zhou Zhou accompany you, that way no one will dare to bully you."

After giving Yuriko a few more instructions, Mr. An hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Yuriko burst into tears.

Zhou Zhou watched this scene without saying anything, only looking at Yuriko squatting on the ground crying, and then put his phone away.

After a long while, Yuriko finally raised her head again. She remained squatting on the ground, but her tone had become firm: "Mr. Zhou Zhou, is there no way to guarantee Mr. An's safety right now?"

You don't need to answer my question right away. I know Mr. Dark must have told you not to tell me whether he's safe or not.

But my heart tells me that Mr. Darkness is not safe right now.

Takahashi Suki will absolutely not let Mr. An off so easily. Once he gets his hands on the missile, he will make his move against Mr. An.

I can't let Mr. An get into danger. I... I need to go back to the Field Family now.

Before Zhou Zhou could answer Yuriko's question, she started talking to herself. As she spoke, her tone became increasingly firm.

Yuriko stood up, looking at Zhou Zhou with a determined expression—she had made her decision.

? ? ? ? ?

Zhou Zhou's forehead was full of question marks. He felt that Yuriko wasn't quite right in the head—why was she asking him when she had already made her own decision?

More importantly, they were trying to stop Takahashi Somoki's deal with Mr. An for the sake of the Tano family.

Yuriko, however, put on a righteous and awe-inspiring act, as if she were truly concerned for Mr. An's safety.

Do Yuriko and Takeshi Tano really think they're fools? Takahashi Suki wanted to buy missiles from Mr. An, and he's not stupid, so why would he dare to attack Mr. An?

I'm afraid Takahashi Suki is too busy currying favor with Mr. An.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou sneered inwardly—women, they seem to love someone wholeheartedly, but who would have thought that they only want to use this man?

"Mr. Zhou, what are you thinking about? Can I go to Tian Ye's house now? Would you like to come with me?"

Yuriko stared blankly at Zhou Zhou. She couldn't understand why Zhou Zhou hadn't reacted or said a word for so long after she finished speaking.

This made Yuriko anxious. "Could it be that Mr. Zhou Zhou isn't worried about Mr. An's safety at all?"

She couldn't help but ask a question.

If Zhou Zhou really doesn't care about Mr. An's safety, then wouldn't her plan really be impossible to complete?

"Oh? Miss Yuriko, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else. Are you on your way to the Tano family's place?"

Startled by Yuriko's shout, Zhou Zhou snapped out of his reverie. A slight smile played on his lips as he asked the question.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, I'm going to the Tianye family now."

After all, Mr. An's safety is of paramount importance, and I cannot allow anything to happen to him.

I know Mr. An is very powerful, and you are all very powerful, but this is the land of cherry blossoms.

You have no idea, but Takahashi Somoku has always been a despicable person, and this is his territory.

If he really does harm Mr. Dark, even if it is him, you might not have time to make any preparations.

The only person who can stand up to Takahashi Somoki right now is Tano Takeshi.

Although I don't want to go to them, for Mr. An's sake, I'm willing to humble myself and apologize to Takeshi Tano, just to ask him to save Mr. An.

Upon hearing Zhou Zhou's explanation, Yuriko didn't say much, but frowned and said anxiously.

“Alright, since Miss Yuriko says so, I will arrange for Jeremy to accompany you to the Tano family.”

I have other things to take care of, so I won't accompany you.

With Jeremy there, I'm sure Miss Yuriko will be able to reach the Tano family smoothly.

Zhou Zhou nodded, indicating that he understood what Yuriko meant, and said calmly.

Upon hearing Zhou Zhou mention that Jeremy would accompany her to the Tianye family, Yuriko's expression wasn't particularly pleasant.

But she immediately showed gratitude without saying anything more before looking at Jeremy.

In Yuriko's view, although Jeremy's status was much lower than Zhou Zhou's, as long as he could achieve his goal, everything else could be put aside for now.

She winked at Jeremy, who had been standing to the side listening to their conversation, and said, "You accompany Miss Yuriko to the Field Family."

After saying this, Zhou Zhou turned and went into his room. Whether Tian Yewu could snatch those two missiles from Takahashi Sumu depended on Jiang Nian's arrangements.

Zhou Zhou is finding it increasingly interesting to see who will ultimately get their hands on these two missiles; he simply can't guess.

After Jiang Nian and Zhou Zhou parted ways, Jiang Nian did not go anywhere else, but went to an address that Gao Shiwei had given him before.

This is a base.

Soon, Jiang Nian arrived at this place.

It must be said that the concealment effect is quite good.

This place is very remote, and there's an ordinary restaurant there.

More than an hour had passed since Jiang Nian entered the restaurant, but not a single customer had come in.

There were quite a few people walking by, which only shows that this shop's business was really bad.

However, Jiang Nian didn't react much to this. He was just looking for someone, and other matters were not within his consideration.

"Comrade Jiang Nian, hello, I am Wei Tao. I will be working with you for the next period of time."

Just as Jiang Nian was stroking her chin, thinking about something else, a man in a beige trench coat sat down next to her, extended his hand, and spoke with a smile.

Being able to call out his own name directly, and with the other person's self-introduction being exactly the same as the information Gao Shiwei had given him, Jiang Nian's face showed a rare hint of relief.

"I am Jiang Nian. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Their hands clasped together. They looked at each other and smiled.

"I wonder what Comrade Jiang Nian plans to do next?"

Wei Tao asked directly.

His task was simply to cooperate with Comrade Jiang Nian's actions, but he really had no idea what Comrade Jiang Nian was planning to do.

Wei Tao found it very strange that Comrade Jiang Nian suddenly came to this place to find him.

You see, he had known the name Comrade Jiang Nian for quite some time, but the other party had never contacted him.

Wei Tao almost began to doubt whether the task assigned to him by his superiors was a fake one.

Otherwise, why have I been staying here all this time without anyone contacting me?

Now that Jiang Nian has finally shown up, it means there's a mission. Wei Tao's eyes gleamed as he looked at Jiang Nian; he couldn't wait to get started.

"I need to see Maki Ishida. Please make arrangements for me, preferably before 10 p.m. tonight."

Since he had come to find Wei Tao, Jiang Nian didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.

Is it time to meet Maki Ishida?

After hearing Jiang Nian's words, Wei Tao's smile froze, replaced by a troubled expression.

"What's wrong? Is this task difficult to complete?"

Seeing Wei Tao's conflicted expression, Jiang Nian frowned as well. He suddenly regretted that he had been too hasty in coming to find Wei Tao.

Perhaps I could approach Maki Ishida under a different identity, instead of necessarily going through Wei Tao.

"No, no. Comrade Jiang Nian, it's not that this task is too difficult. Please wait a moment, I'll go and contact someone to see how they can arrange it."

Seeing Jiang Nian frown and look unwell, Wei Tao was startled.

His superiors had repeatedly instructed him that no matter what happened, he should prioritize Comrade Jiang Nian's opinion and do his best to meet any requests made by Comrade Jiang Nian.

Right now, Comrade Jiang Nian just wants to see Maki Ishida as soon as possible; it's not a big deal.

Even though he thought this way, Wei Tao couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Hearing Wei Tao say this, Jiang Nian's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

In any case, once I met Maki Ishida, many things became much easier.

Wei Tao naturally couldn't understand Jiang Nian's thoughts; he simply went to arrange other things as quickly as possible.

It took Wei Tao about two hours to make this arrangement.

Sitting there with only a glass of water in front of him, Jiang Nian began to feel a little impatient.

He felt he should have informed Wei Tao sooner.

Now, it seems we're still a bit anxious.

When Wei Tao reappeared in front of Jiang Nian, he had a faint smile on his face.

Seeing Wei Tao's expression, Jiang Nian knew that he had completed the task he had asked him to do.

With this in mind, Jiang Nian finally felt completely relieved.

"Comrade Jiang Nian, I've made all the arrangements. I'll accompany you to see Mr. Ishida Maki around 8 p.m.

Wei Tao felt that completing this task was extremely difficult, but at least he had met Comrade Jiang Nian's requirements.

"By the way, let me ask you something. If Takeshi Tano and Suki Takahashi's forces were to fight, without our intervention, how confident do you think Maki Ishida is in seizing the item from both sides and completely suppressing them?"

Although he would be able to see Maki Ishida that evening, this matter was extremely urgent. Jiang Nian didn't know much about Maki Ishida, and he was too lazy to have the system retrieve her information, so after thinking for a while, he directly asked Wei Tao.

After all, Wei Tao was in Japan preparing for a mission, so he was quite clear about the power structure there.

Jiang Nian was already silently pondering this question in his mind.

If Maki Ishida isn't confident he can completely suppress both the Takahashi and Tano families, then he'll have to take action secretly again.

In any case, tonight's transaction at sea, in this hidden battlefield, can only be won by Maki Ishida; no one else can.

Wei Tao stared wide-eyed at Jiang Nian in disbelief.

He couldn't understand what Jiang Nian meant by asking that question.

This is Japan, after all. Although they are in a very safe place and can guarantee that their conversation will not be known by anyone, is it really appropriate to openly discuss the two major families of Japan, and involve the power of another family?

"What, do you not have enough information to analyze the outcome of this battle?"

Seeing that Wei Tao was just staring at him with wide eyes and hadn't said anything for a long time, Jiang Nian frowned and asked in confusion.

This shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, Wei Tao, having stayed in Japan, should be very familiar with these forces.

It's just asking him to analyze the current situation, not to start a fight right now. Surely he can do something as simple as that?

Touching his chin, Jiang Nian began to have doubts—why did they all look a little silly? (End of Chapter)
