240: Chapter 240 Trip to Shanghai

Liu Yuan was a bit displeased upon hearing Qin Jiazheng's words. "Help you catch killers? What if my husband is in danger? You know how ruthless those people from the Japan are!"

"Some of my own men have died under their blades!"

Su Nange remained silent; his good wife was clearly looking out for his interests.

Sure enough, Qin Jiazheng looked a bit troubled and embarrassed; Liu Yuan was clearly not as easy to talk to as Su Nange.

He also couldn't afford to offend the eldest miss of the Liu Family.

"Miss Liu, I know that having Nange face the killers involves a certain amount of danger. But this time, we only want him to help investigate the internal situation and pinpoint the killers' exact location."

"There's no need for a direct confrontation. Our special forces will handle the detailed arrest operation."

"That's still not okay. You make it sound so easy, but that building is full of hidden dangers. My husband would be isolated and without help. What if something happens?"

Liu Yuan's point was valid; if anything happened to Su Nange, how would she go on?

Moreover, it was likely that the Zhou Family and Liu Family would both hold Qin Jiazheng accountable.

Director Qin was suddenly a bit dazed, realizing he hadn't thought things through properly.

Who was Su Nange now? He was an entrepreneur leading the way in new technology, a relative of the Zhou Family, and the son-in-law of the Liu Family.

He was no longer the small agent who used to cooperate with the police.

Su Nange laughed, "Yuan, stop teasing our Director Qin."

"The police and the public are one family; we should help each other in times of trouble. Director Qin, I accept your request. It's just a building belonging to people from the Japan; it shouldn't be allowed to become a fortress for criminals."

Qin Jiazheng immediately poured himself a full glass of wine. "Nange, you're a true friend!"

Liu Yuan thought to herself, 'You really took all the credit for being the hero!'

On the way back, Liu Yuan had a stern face. "So, you get to be the good guy, and I have to be the bad one?"

Su Nange chuckled, "Hehe, my wife seems to have gotten even prettier lately."

"Where were you last night? You didn't come home, and you didn't go to Tingting's either."

"Wife, have you lost weight again?"

"Answer my question! Did you hook up with another woman again?"

"Wife, did you change your lipstick shade? Mmm, this color is very nice; it really highlights your elegance."

"Su Nange, I... damn it! I didn't change my lipstick!" The eldest miss kicked him. Su Nange was fine, but the driver was nearly scared to death.

Su Nange wondered why this tactic didn't work on Liu Yuan.

"Hehe, I've just been too busy. I was at the company all night. If you don't believe me, check my DingTalk!"

"Check your head! I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Su Nange sighed; luckily, he had escaped from Tang Li's room at noon. He really had to step up his game tonight.

Su Nange felt quite frustrated.

Liu Yuan had such a fiery temper, lacking any of the classical grace of a Xizi woman.

Wanqing was even worse, giving him a rap on the head whenever she felt like it.

Sister Ding was becoming more and more like an elder, constantly disciplining him now.

It was still better with my Tingting and Yaoyao.

As for Tang Li and Qianqian? Su Nange was a bit afraid of being drained dry.

Oh, and there was also the intoxicatingly fragrant teacher, Xu Zhiyi. Su Nange admitted he couldn't beat her; she might be the one at the highest level.

However, the eldest miss was a woman of many faces, no matter how much she bickered with Su Nange.

She truly cared for Su Nange deep down.

When she needed to be strong, she was like a queen; when she played the little woman, she was incredibly sweet.

And now, she was acting like a caring older sister, showing an indescribable concern for Su Nange.

She let Su Nange rest his head on her lap, cleaning his ears as she asked, "So you really agreed to that Japan woman's invitation to attend a banquet in Shanghai?"

Su Nange had a look of pure enjoyment. "Why not? It just so happens that Director Qin has a request as well."

"Those people from the Japan are very vicious and highly ambitious. Perhaps they invited us over this time just to pull us in to deal with those people in Shanghai."

"As expected of my wife, your insight is spot on. So, there won't be any risk this time. They are the ones extending an olive branch."

"We need to go and see what they're really up to."

The next afternoon, Su Nange and Liu Yuan, accompanied by two young ladies from Black Kite in plain clothes, set off on their trip to Shanghai.

This wasn't Su Nange's first time at the Katana Building.

However, no matter how he looked at it, this building made him feel uncomfortable.

Its roof had a unique design, resembling two blades supporting the sun.

Especially when the sun was setting, its shadow looked like a real katana cutting right through the middle of the Shen River.

Su Nange also couldn't understand how such a building had been allowed to be constructed here.

Saionji Sawa placed great importance on Su Nange's group.

She was formally dressed today in a precious kimono, with her long hair exquisitely styled.

The naturally fair skin of Japan women was even more pronounced on her face.

She made a point of using the Chinese language she wasn't fluent in: "Welcome Miss Liu, Mr. Su."

"Miss Liu, you are the most beautiful Chinese woman I have ever seen."

This wasn't just flattery from Saionji Sawa. Liu Yuan's beauty was top-tier wherever she went.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to keep Su Nange so infatuated.

Especially now with the help of black technology, she was even experiencing reverse aging. This was why Wanqing was willing to spend a fortune on artificial cell injections.

She didn't want to lose to her Best Friend.

Saionji Sawa apologized to Liu Yuan again, stating that her previous recklessness had caused her great losses.

Furthermore, she had her top subordinate, Himura Ryusai, kneel before Su Nange.

Himura Ryusai was originally a representative of the Japan's Bushido spirit; life and death meant nothing to him.

But Su Nange was different; he had made him wish he were dead!

Now, seeing this roguish man again, he recalled the terror of that night. He knelt without a word of complaint.

However, there was another Japan man beside Saionji Sawa with a sinister look, appearing somewhat defiant.

Su Nange noticed this but didn't say anything.

Saionji Sawa led Su Nange and Liu Yuan to a restaurant with a cherry blossom-themed ambiance.

All the tables and chairs in the restaurant had been removed, leaving only three counter seats.

This was the highest level of hospitality Saionji Sawa offered her guests.

She introduced the three chefs standing before them to the two guests, all of whom came from Michelin 3-star Restaurants. They had studied under the Sushi Master, the Tempura Master, and a Kobe Teppanyaki Master, respectively.

Although Su Nange wanted to laugh at how much the Japan loved these titles...

...it was certainly eye-opening. One had to admit that the Japan really knew what they were doing when it came to cuisine.

Liu Yuan rolled her eyes at him, seeing his unsophisticated appearance.

However, when a serving of charcoal-grilled Kinki Fish was presented, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up.

This was indeed the best Kinki Fish she had ever tasted.

As expected, Saionji Sawa understood Chinese people well; as long as you conquered their stomachs, everything else was easy to discuss.

Su Nange didn't care about appearances; he ate one piece of tuna belly sushi after another and then downed the sweet and refreshing sake in one gulp.

It was pure enjoyment.

After the meal, Saionji Sawa took the two of them to a tea room and personally demonstrated the Japan's tea ceremony.

Su Nange watched her technique and found it hard to distinguish whether she or Qianqian was superior.

Liu Yuan nudged him, meaning: 'If you keep looking, I'll kill you!'

The eldest miss also hadn't expected this natural Japan woman to be so beautiful.

Moreover, she was the same type as herself—incredibly pure with a hint of allure.

This time, she had truly met her match.

However, Su Nange was concerned with the fact that Saionji Sawa certainly hadn't invited them just for a meal.

But he held back and said nothing; whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, Saionji Sawa, whose patience wasn't as deep as Su Nange's, finally spoke: "Miss Liu, Mr. Su, there is an old Chinese saying: 'Make fewer enemies and more friends.' Please let me toast you with tea once more. We can consider ourselves friends who met through a conflict, and I hope we can turn our swords into plowshares."

Su Nange took a sip of the matcha; it indeed had a sort of Zen-like quality of finding joy in bitterness.

"It seems Miss Sawa knows many ancient Chinese sayings; you must really like our culture."

Saionji Sawa nodded. "I like it very much. China is my second home."

Su Nange continued to drink his tea without replying.

He was waiting for those two words.

As the host, Saionji Sawa had to be the first to clarify: "But..."

"Many people do not welcome us."

"Many people? I don't understand who Miss Sawa is referring to."

"For example, the Ouyang Family, who provoked the conflict between us this time."
