The venue of the dance party is in Shangfengtang, a place that everyone in Shanghai fears like a tiger.

Yun Chu followed behind Ju Guangzhi again, looking at Shangfeng Hall with interest. It was different from the gloomy and cold appearance he had imagined. Perhaps because of the ball, the whole hall was brightly lit, with dazzling chandeliers and neon lights everywhere.

The death of Nozawa Oota will not affect the Japanese people's holding of a dance party tonight to welcome the children of the Fujiwara family.

As the host, Tachibana Hirotomo was about to marry into the Fujiwara clan, so he was naturally the most important person tonight. As soon as he entered the door, a colleague in a suit came to greet him and said jokingly: "You, the host, are really late."

The next moment, someone answered the conversation in an ambiguous tone, "Haha, the section chief is obviously going to pick someone up."

"Chief, you really hide such a beautiful girl!" Someone who was familiar with Ju Guangzhi looked at Yun Chu's face for a few circles, then nudged Ju Guangzhi with his shoulder, making gossipy faces.

Tachibana Hirotoshi frowned, looked at the few people, and said calmly: "This is my second daughter, Tachibana Kayaka."

The fact that Tachibana Hirotoshi had someone bring his daughter back was kept very secret, and almost no outsiders knew about it. There was no fanfare after the daughter was brought back, so that even when the dance started tonight, no one knew that Tachibana Hirotoshi's second daughter was back.

"You brought her back from Green City?!" This really surprised everyone.

Tachibana Hirotoshi said a few simple words, then turned around and looked around, frowning even more tightly: "Tachibana Kawana hasn't come yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a Monzuki hakama came over and said, "Colonel Nozawa was assassinated last night. The matter was handed over to Shofudo to investigate. Team leader Kawana is concentrating on the investigation and hasn't come yet. The Fujiwara clan's people should be here soon, right?"

Yun Chu also keenly noticed that when this young man approached, Ju Guangzhi's face visibly darkened.

He probably didn't have a good impression of this young man, but he was considered tall among the short guys, and he had a handsome face. She couldn't understand why Tachibana Hirotoshi was so disgusted with him, and she took him to heart for a moment.

Anything special about the Japanese may be important information that can be discussed for value.

This was the purpose of her coming here tonight. Firstly, to get some information, and secondly, she wanted to see the so-called Fujiwara clan. If such important nobles died in Shanghai, it would be bad news for Japan, right?

Yun Chu curled her lips again, and her delicate face became even softer, making people unconsciously look at her.

The young man in front of her also looked at her, but there was no surprise in his eyes. Instead, there was wariness and vigilance, and even a hint of imperceptible disgust. This was completely different from the gentleness he showed when he mentioned Tachibana Kawana.

So, this person likes Tachibana Kawana? What he just said is also a different kind of provocation?

Because Tachibana Kawana went to investigate the assassination of Nozawa Oota, she was unable to attend the ball to welcome the Fujiwara family in time. For Tachibana Hirotomo, he would be disappointed with his daughter, but for those who already liked Tachibana Kawana, it was a good thing.

When Yun Chu was thinking again, the young man spoke again.

With a smile on his face, he performed a very formal Japanese etiquette towards Yun Chu: "Ms. Ayaka, the younger sister of Team Leader Kawana, I have heard of your name a long time ago. I never thought that such a weak girl could come to Shanghai alive."

A dark light flashed across Yun Chu's eyes again. This man really did not hide his hostility at all, and he started by showing his power to others with his very opening words.

Tachibana Hirotoshi could naturally see Nagasawa Yuzuki's hostility, and he said in a serious tone: "Nagazawa-kun, please be polite to my daughter! She is not Kawana, and she is not someone you can tease at will!"

Nagasawa Yuzuki sneered: "What the section chief said is interesting. From what you said, it seems that you have a lot of opinions about Team Leader Kawana. Is it because she didn't come on time and used her as a bargaining chip to curry favor with the Fujiwara family, so you are angry?"

Yun Chu looked at Nagasawa Yuzuki in surprise again. This man was so arrogant that he even dared to shoot at Tachibana Hirotoshi head on.

However, the fact that he was so angry did confirm her guess that this man admired Tachibana Kawana and must have a good background.

"I still have to go to the door to greet Team Leader Kawana, Section Chief, excuse me." Nagasawa Yuzuki looked at the gloomy expression of Tachibana Hirotoshi, not caring at all. He lightly bowed to Yun Chu as a gentleman, then turned and left.

"Father, who is he? Why is he like this..." Yun Chu asked again in a low voice.

Tachibana Hirotoshi's eyes were heavy, and he said nothing. He only called his adjutant and said, "I still have things to do. You follow Ayaka."

"Yes, section chief!"

Yun Chu blinked again and watched Ju Guangzhi stride up the stairs.

Shangfeng Hall is four stories high. It is pitch black up there and you can't see anything. People should be forbidden to go up there.

"If Miss Ayaka is hungry, you can go over there and have some cakes." The adjutant was very polite, but there was also a strong sense of surveillance in his tone. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he would not intend to leave at all tonight if Tachibana Hirotomo did not give the order.

Yun Chu didn't care. He walked in the direction he pointed and picked up some pastries on the plate.

She asked, "Who exactly is that Changze-kun? Why are he and my father looking so tense?"

"Tachibana Kayaka" was just a college student who had never experienced anything. When she encountered something like this, she would naturally ask questions. Moreover, she was indeed very curious about Nagasawa-kun. She always felt that this marriage with the Fujiwara clan would be more lively with him involved.

The adjutant looked at Yun Chu's curiosity on her pretty face and said, "Changze-kun is the deputy leader of the Seventh Action Team of the Special Agents Department. However, he is also the only son of the head of the Intelligence Department, so he is naturally a little arrogant."

"Head of the Intelligence Department?" Yun Chu was slightly surprised again. Shangfengtang has several departments. Ju Guangzhi is in charge of the Special Agent Department, which is very outstanding in mobility and even assassination. As for the Intelligence Department, it is the real central department.

No wonder Nagasawa Yuzuki dared to speak to Tachibana Hirotomo like that. However, as a young master, he was willing to be the deputy team leader of the Seventh Action Group of the Special Service Department. It can be seen that he liked Tachibana Kawana with all his heart. The internal conflicts in Japan are quite interesting.

Yun Chu ate with gusto again. After a while, a group of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners also entered the ballroom.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the foreigners thoughtfully, and asked her adjutant, "Are they from France?"

The adjutant looked at her in surprise and nodded: "Indeed, he is the Special Inspector General of the French Concession."

Yun Chu lowered his eyes again. The French Concession is now an isolated island in Shanghai. Next year, when the puppet government takes control of Shanghai, the puppet regime will be handed over and it will officially step out of the stage of history. There is nothing to be afraid of.

However, since the people from the French Concession can come here tonight, it shows that they want to show goodwill to the Japanese.

If the Special Inspector General of the French Concession died at a Japanese banquet, there would inevitably be riots in the French Concession, and there might even be a conflict and trouble of varying degrees. She would be happy to see that happen.

As for whether the Inspector General is innocent or not, since he chose to come to the Japanese banquet, it is not her fault.
