Chapter 221: You don't want to lose the initiative, do you?

"They also said…" Fujiwara Kinta wanted to speak but stopped.

Tsuchihara Ji asked: "What did they say?"

"If you still want the drawings, you can buy them again." Fujiwara Kinta said.

Upon hearing this, Tsuchihara Ji's nose almost twisted with anger.

Those German bastards are going too far.

They actually want to squeeze them for more money?

But he couldn't find an excuse to blow up at the Germans.

After all, the sinking of the ship had nothing to do with them.

The drawings, which were so hard to obtain, had no effect at all and sank completely to the seabed, utterly a blemish on his career.

"Really, can't we salvage it?" Tsuchihara Ji wanted to struggle a bit more.

Fujiwara Kinta shook his head: "The wreck lies in extremely deep water, and it's also a reef area; not to mention the difficulty of salvage, even if we could raise it, the drawings might not be usable…"

Seeing Tsuchihara Ji's face darken, Fujiwara Kinta instantly felt uneasy.

Although Tsuchihara Ji had agreed to the night voyage, the one who proposed the suggestion was himself; now that this mishap occurred, he might end up taking the blame.

Thinking of this, Fujiwara Kinta, before Tsuchihara Ji could lose his temper, immediately said: "General, I've received the latest news: Kageyama's work has made new progress."

"Mr. Wang is very interested in the terms we offered and is preparing to send a representative to Songhu for negotiations."

"What?" Tsuchihara Ji's eyes lit up: "Yosshi, our long efforts have finally paid off; did they say when they're coming?"

"For now it's still being discussed in secret; I believe we'll have a result soon." Fujiwara Kinta said hurriedly.

Tsuchihara Ji continued: "How about Imai's work?"

"He is also proposing peace suggestions; the National Government is very interested in our peace theory, they haven't refused, and compared to us, they fear the Red Party more." Fujiwara Kinta also said.

"Yosshi." Tsuchihara Ji pondered: "Remember, this must be kept strictly secret, ensure their safety, and best to turn that Mr. Wang over!"

"This guy's position is not low; if he's willing to join us, he will surely deal a heavy blow to the National Government's resolve to resist up and down!"

"Hai!" Fujiwara Kinta straightened up and bowed deeply.

Tsuchihara Ji waved his hand.

Fujiwara Kinta quietly let out a breath, gave a slight bow, and quickly left Tsuchihara Ji's office; the matter of the sunken ship was finally brushed over.

That evening.

After returning home, Fujiwara Kinta also didn't sleep.

The National Government side was about to send people for negotiations; if they could successfully turn Mr. Wang over, the Tsuchihara agency would surely achieve great merit, and then he could also bask in some reflected glory.

Fujiwara Kinta couldn't help feeling somewhat pleased with himself.

Ding ding dong~

A burst of knocking sounded.

"Who?" Fujiwara Kinta stopped writing.

"Kinta, it's time to take your medicine."

Hearing that voice, Fujiwara Kinta couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.

Here it comes again.

I had thought Rinna would calm down these past two days, but I didn't expect it to start again.

The knocking sounded like a summons to death; thinking of his recent behavior, Fujiwara Kinta had no confidence left and helplessly said: "Come in."

The door was pushed open.

Fujiwara Rinna walked in wearing a sexy nightgown, holding a bowl of medicine, swaying her waist.

"Kinta, try this; it's a court secret recipe I had someone find."

"It's said that the emperor himself relied on this medicinal diet to strengthen his body."

Fujiwara Rinna inadvertently glanced at the documents on the table with the corner of her eye, and while speaking, she brought the bowl to Fujiwara Kinta's lips.

Medicinal diet? Hearing Fujiwara Rinna's words, Fujiwara Kinta's expression eased a little.

The smell was not bad.

"Rinna, you've worked hard." Fujiwara Kinta lifted the bowl, swallowing both broth and food: "Rinna, I still have work to do; you should rest early tonight."

Fujiwara Rinna feigned disappointment, cleared the bowl and left, pondering the information she had just obtained.

Is someone else coming to Songhu again?

Mr. Wang's friend?

Kinta seems to value him highly.

Hmm…

I must tell this news to Chen Sang so he pays more attention to this guy.

This time, Chen Yongren came again to the Huamao Hotel.

He had left Nuolan waiting for two days, and figured the time was about right.

Of course.

Another reason was to give them ample time to screen the intelligence.

To prepare for slaughtering them later, he laid the groundwork.

Chen Yongren first printed a photo of the weapon blueprint, preparing to blackmail Nuolan and company heavily.

After making preparations, Chen Yongren, putting on the same face he had when he met Nuolan, came again to the vicinity of the Huamao Hotel.

So that the Black Widow wouldn't recognize him.

"Where exactly did that guy go?"

"He doesn't show up when he should, and pops out unexpectedly when he shouldn't, just to scare people."

The information provided by the godfather, after verification, is basically confirmed to be true.

But who exactly is he, who does he serve, and how could he obtain this information?

The War Situation Bureau investigated for two days but still couldn't find any information related to him.

……

Where did the guy who met with Nolan earlier go?

It's been several days; why hasn't he appeared yet?

The team leader told me to find a way to make contact, but we also need to know where the person is.

……

It seems not only Nolan, but the Black Widow also wants me.

Chen Yongren quickly walked into the hotel.

Nolan was looking around, and upon seeing Chen Yongren enter, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went up to greet him.

The Black Widow also turned her gaze toward Chen Yongren.

Ignoring the Black Widow's gaze, Chen Yongren followed Nolan into the room.

"You finally came!" Nolan said respectfully: "The information you previously provided, we are very satisfied with; the goods you need, we have also prepared and are ready for pickup at any time."

Chen Yongren nodded in satisfaction.

"Godfather, can we now discuss what terms exist between the German and Japanese sides?" Nolan said in a respectful tone.

"Of course, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

"This is strategic-level information." Chen Yongren said calmly: "Fixed price: 100,000 US dollars."

"100,000?" Nolan shook his head: "Impossible, the price is too high."

"You're right, now it's 200,000 US dollars." Chen Yongren was not used to it.

"How much are you saying?" Nolan exclaimed.

"300,000 US dollars, any other questions?" Chen Yongren also said: "The Tripartite Alliance, who exactly are they trying to guard against, what is their bottom line, don't you want to know?"

"If you know their bottom line, you can gain greater benefits at the negotiating table."

"You say this piece of information worth 400,000 US dollars, is it excessive for me to sell it to you for 500,000?"

Nolan was dumbfounded, never expecting the information price to keep rising.

The price of 100,000 US dollars is already outrageous.

Now the price has actually reached 500,000 US dollars.

"Godfather, your price..." Seeing Chen Yongren about to speak, Nolan hurriedly said: "Please don't raise the price again; the information industry has never seen information sell for 500,000 US dollars."

"Today you will see it." Chen Yongren smiled: "With this information, the money you can earn will definitely exceed 500,000 US dollars."

"Mr. Nolan, you also don't want to lose the initiative at the negotiating table, right?"
