Chapter 1023: They haven't squeezed us dry yet, we can't let him die.
I'm more worried about this problem than anyone else.
"Don't you think I should be worried?" Zhou Weiguo asked rhetorically.
Asaka Shurei didn't react immediately, and the butler next to her also felt that something was wrong.
The son-in-law has always hoped that the Empire wouldn't be too ruthless towards the mountain city. Now, the Empire is planning to abandon its attack on the mountain city and maintain the current situation. So why is the son-in-law unhappy?
"Young master, isn't this what you wanted to see?"
Zhou Weiguo turned to look at him and said, "I hope to see you, but I don't want you to go and die now."
If I'm going to die, I'll make sure everyone else is completely drained before I die.
Attacking now would mean ending the war prematurely, something he neither wants nor will allow.
"What I want is long-term, to maximize and realize your value, not to send you to your deaths right now."
At this point, Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath and said, "If we take action against the Northern Soviet Union now, the Northern Soviet Union will definitely mobilize its forces quickly and take back everything you have that you are proud of."
Understood.
The steward shuddered. He understood what his son-in-law was thinking: to turn the empire into a huge vortex, wreak havoc on the enemies in the mountain city, and then they would have a greater chance.
“What the son-in-law says is true. Actually, the master didn’t want things to turn out this way either. However, it seems that both the headquarters and the Prime Minister’s office have been provoked by the victory in the south, and they…”
Seeing the passersby, Asaka Shurei coughed and said, "Now is not the time to discuss this issue. Let's get rid of Kawai Jiro first, and then go back and talk about other things."
This is definitely not the place to talk. Zhou Weiguo put down his teacup and looked into the distance.
There were still no signs of any vehicles passing by.
Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath and said, "I can't wait any longer, butler, you should go back first."
go back?
The butler, momentarily stunned, asked, "Young Master, you want me to go back?"
I followed the master's orders and went with you.
“Waiting like this isn’t a solution. I’ve decided to wait at his house. After all, the three of us have been wandering around here for two days. If we keep going, the locals will probably recognize us.”
Knowing herself and Asaka Shurei has nothing to do with each other, since she is a stranger and knowing her won't affect anything. But the butler is different; he is a well-known figure. Once the Special Higher Police draw a portrait based on the description, then things will get complicated.
Knowing the abilities of the two people in front of him, and genuinely worried that doing so would affect the master, the butler left without hesitation. After drinking tea, Zhou Weiguo and Asaka Xiuling went into the apartment building, opened the door, and entered the small room.
The room was very basic, containing only a desk, a bed, a cabinet, and a chair for dining. There was no kitchen, suggesting that Kawai Jiro had eaten out before returning.
"Let's rest for a while. According to the housekeeper, he'll probably be back very late," Zhou Weiguo said to Asaka Shurei after looking around the room.
Asaka Shurei looked around the room, then went to lie down on the sofa next to her; "I'll take a nap first."
Around 8 o'clock, the sound of leather shoes outside made Zhou Weiguo put down his wine glass and go to the door.
Not long after, the sound of a key opening the door came from outside. Zhou Weiguo glanced at Xiang Xiuling, who had sat up, and gestured for her to hide to the side before preparing to pull her away.
A creak.
The door was opened.
A foot reached in, and Zhou Weiguo saw that the man was wearing an army uniform with the colonel's collar insignia. He reached out and pulled the man in, then slammed the door shut, threw him to the ground, and took out a dagger, holding it to his waist. "Do you want to live or die?"
Who would want to die if they could live?
As Kawai Jiro stared at the cold dagger pressed against his neck, he sized up the person in front of him. Seeing the murderous intent in that person's eyes, he knew very well that if he said no, he might lose his life immediately.
He nodded, let Zhou Weiguo pat him on the shoulder, then pulled him up, put his arm around his shoulder, and led him to the sofa.
Asaka Shurei had no opportunity to use her skills, so she comfortably made herself a cup of tea and sat down opposite her.
Seeing her husband's posture was rather unseemly and uncomfortable, she chuckled and said, "Lord Uei, if I'm not mistaken, you have two daughters and a son, right? I heard that one of your daughters is at Kyoto Girls' High School, and the other works at Kyoto Hospital. Your son seems to be an excellent student as well, and in another six months, he will have a very comfortable job. I also heard that your wife, thanks to your hard work, is pregnant with your child again. I think you wouldn't want them to follow in your footsteps just because of your complaints and loyalty to the Empire."
"idiot."
Snapped……
Zhou Weiguo slapped Uejiro across the face; "Speak more politely."
You're going to harm my family, and you're telling me to be polite? You're bullying me like this.
Kamii Jiro wanted to curse, but in the end he swallowed his anger.
These two menacing-looking guys, who clearly spoke with Tokyo accents, had already investigated everything about him. He wasn't sure what would happen if he were to say something that wouldn't please them.
He was trying hard to recall if he had offended anyone somewhere.
That shouldn't be the case. He hasn't offended any of those underworld figures or gangsters. Those two people...
"Who exactly are you two? Where have I offended you?" Kawai Jiro's voice softened considerably.
He simply couldn't understand where he had offended these people.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled twice; "You've offended me in many ways."
what?
Kawai Jiro looked bewildered. He had always been kind to everyone, so how could he have offended so many people? This was completely unreasonable.
"Could you explain it more clearly? I think there's some kind of misunderstanding between us."
Misunderstand?
Zhou Weiguo put the dagger away. He had already figured out from Shangjing Jiro's words that this guy wouldn't dare to do anything reckless.
"Do you think it's a misunderstanding? If it were a misunderstanding, why would we come to you, the Chief of Operations at the Army General Staff Headquarters and a senior staff officer, instead of looking for other people? Do you think we would risk being killed to come to you for such a thankless task?"
this?
Kamii Jiro fell into deep thought, and as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stood up, pointed at the two people in front of him, and shouted towards the door, "Someone come here!"
