Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Before coming to the slums, I had planned to capture a few core members and interrogate them for information about Huang Ruo. I could just make up the rest of the background information.

Later it was decided to change strategy.

Sneak into the Shanhai Gang and wipe out the entire organization while searching for Huang Ruo, so there must be a convincing reason.

"I joined your Shanhai Gang for a purpose."

He Yuzhu said calmly, "I just want to make some money, lots of money."

"Liu Bo told me that if I joined your Shanhai Gang, I could earn enough money in a year to buy a house in Edo City. That's why I joined. It doesn't matter if you don't want to, after all, I haven't taken a penny from you so far. I believe I have enough ability to leave here at any time, and no one can stop me."

As for being able to speak three foreign languages, it was actually quite easy. "I learned it from others. Maybe I have some talent for languages, so it was easy for me to learn it. I didn't find it difficult at all. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"If you think I have any bad intentions towards you, I can leave now."

In the domestic environment,

How can you say you can easily learn three foreign languages?

This explanation,

Assistant Ye naturally didn't believe it. But looking at He Yuzhu's calm expression,

This made him hesitate again.

Is this guy really a language genius?

If this is true, then the next question arises.

He admitted so frankly that he only went to elementary school, it didn't seem like he was lying.

Since you have the conditions to hire a private teacher to learn a foreign language, why not just study for a few more years?

Thinking about it,

Assistant Ye was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, all kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart.

At first, I didn’t think too much about asking about Wang Xuan’s specific background.

Originally, I just planned to expose his fake information.

I would just pretend to believe whatever story he told.

Because believing or not believing does not affect the overall situation.

But strangely,

He couldn't help but want to know more.

Before I knew it, I started asking a few more questions.

This has never happened before.

This is also the first time I am so interested in a person's history.

After realizing this,

Assistant Ye adjusted his mindset slightly and did not continue to ask questions, because he realized that those questions were not critical.

Checked the data,

Assistant Ye picked up a photo, walked towards He Yuzhu in high heels, and said coldly: "I think you should have heard that we have a special task waiting for you to complete. Look carefully at this photo."

Is that all?

All the reasons I prepared in advance were completely useless.

He Yuzhu glanced at her in surprise, feeling something was very wrong. He looked down at the photo handed to him and took it.

It was a picture of a young woman.

She looked to be about 23 or 24 years old, with a standard oval face, very beautiful looks, and the unique temperament of an oriental woman.

"Her name is Yukiko Nakamori, and she is the fiancée of a famous detective in Edo Castle, Yamamoto Keiichi."

"This Yamamoto Keiichi has been targeting our Shanhai Gang and causing trouble for us recently, which is not good for us. Your mission is to kidnap his fiancée as a warning."

After briefly introducing the situation, Assistant Ye said coldly: "According to your profile, you should be a good fighting expert. It should be no problem for you to deal with such a weak woman. Of course, you can choose not to accept this mission."

He Yuzhu looked at the photo in his hand and frowned slightly.

I never expected that the "special mission" would turn out to be a kidnapping operation...

Subconsciously, he wanted to refuse.

It is difficult for a beautiful woman to remain intact when she falls into the hands of a ruthless gang like the Shanhai Gang.

If you really do it, you will be aiding and abetting the evil.

But he changed his mind and realized that even if he didn't intervene, the Shanhai Gang would find someone else to do it, and the result would remain the same.

He Yuzhu prefers to get involved himself to protect this woman.

Moreover, if you reject this proposal, the previous plan to infiltrate the Shanhai Gang and completely destroy them will be ruined. Don't think that this kind of criminal organization is easy to deal with. Once they know your true purpose, they will never let you get away with it.

After thinking for a while, He Yuzhu said concisely: "I am not familiar with the environment of Edo City, so I will leave the time and place to you."

"I heard Liu Bo mention that this kind of mission is rewarded. I want to know how much it is."

Assistant Ye glanced at him, then turned to the table, took out a cigarette, removed one side of his mask, smoked it skillfully, and said in the rising smoke: "I will inform you about the time and place of the operation later."

"As for the money you mentioned, we will know the amount after the matter is completed."

"Please believe me, I will never treat you unfairly."

Looking at the woman opposite, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel curious about the scar on her face.

But she had no intention of turning to him.

With just a simple "Go back and wait", the conversation ended abruptly.

Leave the South Group and return to the ground floor residential area.

Looking back at what Assistant Ye said and his attitude, He Yuzhu felt that something was not right.

They didn't even ask about their background? This is extremely rare in a strictly managed illegal group.

What even makes people wonder is: Is there no one available in the Shanhai Gang?

Such an important mission was actually given to a newcomer who had just joined the team.

The most outrageous thing is that after informing them of the mission details, they did not take any extra precautions and just let them go home and wait for news. This clearly shows that they were not afraid of anyone leaking the news!

Think of these anomalies.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh.

Damn it, they are trying to frame someone!

For the Shanhai Gang, what matters is not one's kung fu or foreign language ability, but the fact that one's new identity just happens to meet the conditions needed to divert suspicion.

Once the kidnapping plan is carried out, it will be easy to get rid of it later; in more vicious cases, they may even kill the witnesses directly! It is for this reason that they are indifferent to the history of the members.

As for being ordered to return waiting for the message.

He Yuzhu could strongly feel the distrust and even hostility hidden therein.

This was done to prevent the other party from immediately informing the outside world and to let him go away first.

If you reveal the inside story, your life will be in danger;

If he remained silent and completed the mission, then the Shanhai Gang would be safe and sound. It was obvious that the other party was testing the possibility of an undercover agent.

At this moment.

I can only hope that all this is just my excessive speculation.

If the facts really develop as speculated, then my career as a spy may have come to an end.

After completing this kidnapping, there probably won't be any good results waiting for him.

……

Return to your home in the slums.

Liu Bo asked hurriedly: "Brother Wang, the special mission you mentioned..."

"It would do no good to know."

He Yuzhu stopped him with his eyes, "Of course, if you want to know, I can tell you, but this mission involves..."

"No, that's enough..."

Liu Bo hurriedly shook his head and bowed, smiling and explaining: "Oh, Brother Wang, you misunderstood me! I'm really not curious about this matter, I just want to know when this mission will start."

"Didn't I tell you a few days ago that I wanted to arrange something interesting for you?"

Liu Bo showed a smile that all men understand.

"I wanted to get it done for you today, but I didn't expect a task to come up suddenly."

"If the mission is not urgent, we can arrange it today. Brother Wang, I promise you that this is definitely the type you like and will make you not want to leave after having so much fun."

Seeing Liu Bo like this,

He Yuzhu knew that the so-called "interesting" was definitely not that good, and he had no interest in it at all.

However, he was really concerned about another thing.

"I don't know how long this mission will take, so let's wait for news. Let's forget about that arrangement for now. Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask you. Do you know Yamamoto Keiichi?"

"Brother Wang, you are pushing me into the fire pit..."

Liu Bo's face suddenly turned serious. He was no fool. Hearing He Yuzhu suddenly asking about Yamamoto Keiichi, it was obvious that the mission was related to this person.

If this fails or something goes wrong, those who know about it will probably be caught in the act.

"What do you mean by harming you?"

He Yuzhu pretended to be confused. "I just heard Assistant Ye mention that there is a guy named Yamamoto Jieyi who often plays tricks on our Shanhai Gang. I specifically want to know his background to see if we can get into trouble if we retaliate!"

Liu Bo's face turned pale and blue, and he sighed helplessly and said, "Brother Wang, I didn't hear anything you said."

"But speaking of this Yamamoto Keiichi, he is a somewhat famous figure in Edo Castle!"

"He is the best detective among the younger generation, and there are almost no cases he cannot solve. Many years ago, a Chinese family was wiped out before their daughter got married, and the murderer has not been found until now. Yamamoto Keiichi may have been bored, so he recently started to re-investigate the case. The media are following the report, and many people are paying attention..."

According to Liu Bo, Yamamoto Keiichi is not only intelligent and handsome, but also an idol-level detective in the eyes of the public.

Although he already has a fiancée, he is still the prince charming in the hearts of many girls.

Of course,

The reason he became such a star detective is not only because of his strong personal abilities, but also has a lot to do with his background.

At present, most of the criminal cases in Japan involve gangs, and those without a strong background would have been badly dealt with long ago.

Yamamoto Keiichi is a member of the Yamamoto family, one of the five major political families.

Although he is not a direct relative, with such a background, he can naturally investigate any case with confidence.

In addition, Japan is very particular about matching up with others.

His fiancée Yukiko Nakamori is also extraordinary.

The Nakamori family is a large family with a long history and is very prestigious in the local area.

Liu Bo hurriedly introduced Yamamoto Keiichi's situation and then slipped away.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything else. He went back to the room, took out a piece of paper, wrote down the names "Yamamoto" and "Nakamori", and drew some circles next to them.
