Chapter 153 Yingzuo is coming
"Consul Kuroda, is what Special Assistant Chen said true? Did you really apply for the order from the Ministry of the Army without communicating with Special Assistant Chen?" Li Xianshu's face suddenly darkened.
Seeing this, Kuroda Yusuke quickly said: "Mrs. Yamamoto, I can explain this matter..."
Chen Yang sneered: "Explain? Explain what? Explain that you didn't trust me and thought I would be detrimental to the empire, so you applied for a warrant from the Ministry of the Army..."
"Now that something has gone wrong, you want me to take the blame."
"Okay, even if you really don't believe me, let me ask you, where is Lieutenant Colonel Ishii now? Where is Major Kawasaki, the squad leader you sent to protect Lieutenant Colonel Ishii..."
"Is he a ghost from your consulate..."
"No, it's impossible." Kuroda Yusuke was a little confused by Chen Yang's pressure, and shook his head repeatedly: "Kawasaki-kun is loyal to the empire and will never do anything to betray the empire..."
"Impossible?" Chen Yang sneered, "Colonel Fujiwara, please show the evidence to my wife."
Fujiwara Shizuka took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Li Xianshu.
Li Xianshu put on her reading glasses, looked up and down, and with a "pa" sound, she threw the note directly at Kuroda Yusuke's face.
"Kuroda-kun, these are your subordinates."
"Colluding with the Military Control Commission for a mere $30,000?"
"What? Impossible?" Kuroda Yusuke's face changed instantly.
He picked up the note tremblingly, and on it was a deposit and withdrawal receipt from Citibank.
The payee was a Chinese, but the depositor's name was Takuya Kawasaki.
Fujiwara Shizuka said slowly, "Lieutenant Colonel Koizumi of the Special High Section Information Investigation Division confirmed this with Mr. Robinson, a director of Citibank in the International Settlement."
"The money was transferred away shortly after it was deposited. Although the person did not reveal his identity, it can be confirmed from the intercepted voucher and the description of the staff."
"That person should be the missing Major Kawasaki..."
"This..." All the evidence pointed to Major Kawasaki of the consulate. Even if Kuroda Yusuke refused to believe it in his heart, he could not produce any evidence to defend him at this time.
"Kuroda-kun, notify the Special High Section and have them keep a close eye on Major Kawasaki's family in the mainland."
"If you find any problems, no matter the reason, arrest them first."
"Hi, ma'am." Yusuke Kuroda bowed and was about to leave.
Chen Yang raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute..."
Kuroda Yusuke was slightly stunned and stopped.
"Consul Kuroda, I can't control your internal affairs, but your consulate should compensate for the loss of the warehouse at the material transfer center..."
"This is the inventory of supplies that I asked Lieutenant Nitta to compile."
"If the consulate doesn't pay, I can only ask my wife for it..."
Yusuke Kuroda took the list of supplies from Chen Yang's hand with a gloomy face, and the next second, he shuddered.
"Two million, seven hundred and eighty thousand? Chen Yang, are you burning a warehouse or a gold mine?"
"Do you know how much our consulate spends in a year?"
"More than two million. The annual budget of all our consulate staff combined is not that much..."
Chen Yang spread his hands and sneered: "You don't have to give it to me. Haha, even if you give it to me, I may not want it."
"Do you know that even if you give me money, can I still buy these supplies back at the same price?"
"Don't you know that the price of goods in the market changes every day?"
"I have to pay to clean up your mess, who do you think you are..."
Kuroda Yusuke was suddenly speechless and could only look at Li Xianshu in despair.
Li Xianshu rubbed his brows and said calmly: "Okay, okay, stop arguing."
"Kuroda-kun, you and Iwai-kun should go first."
"Go back and check the consulate yourself to see if there are any omissions."
“I don’t want this to happen again.”
"Chen Yang, please stay. I have something to tell you..."
When Kuroda Yusuke heard this, he was so delighted that he left without even having time to salute...
The room returned to silence. Li Xianshu pointed to the chair in front of her and said, "There are no outsiders here. Please sit down."
Chen Yang thanked him and sat down as he was told.
Li Xianshu smiled faintly and said, "You are really bold, you dare to ask for two or three million for a warehouse of supplies."
"You'll try to kill Kuroda if you get the chance."
"Why? Are you short of money now? Or is it because of the medicine in England?"
"Hehe," Chen Yang laughed dryly and said, "I still can't hide it from my aunt, but you are only half right."
"The drug is still in the research and development stage, so it doesn't matter whether it's worth money or not..."
"I just can't stand this old guy being so defensive against me."
"You know, in order to avoid suspicion and embarrassment for you, I don't ask about intelligence or anything like that."
"Even so, they still don't trust me and have to find fault with me."
"Did you know that he put a nail in my material transfer center..."
"If I don't find a chance to teach him a lesson, he'll really think he has me in his grasp."
Li Xianshu shook her head and said, "You are just young and energetic."
"Offending so many people will not be good for your future."
"Ha, what good can these characters do?" Chen Yang said with a smile, "These people are just sitting there doing nothing and have made no contribution to the empire. They only know how to do some mean things. What's the big deal if a few of them are gone?"
"Besides, I am only managing my own little piece of land. If you ever get upset with me, I will just walk away."
"Okay, stop saying such angry words." Li Xianshu said helplessly: "I know that you have hooked up with Yoshikawa and others now, and the material matters are under your control."
"But you have to know that sometimes it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain."
"Kuroda is a scholar, he wouldn't have any bad ideas."
"If you do this again in the future, I'm worried that you will suffer a great loss."
"What harm can I suffer?" Chen Yang said with a smile: "I still have my aunt to watch over me..."
Li Xianshu shook her head and said, "I, an old woman, am destined not to stay for long."
"The reorganization plan of the Chinese Affairs Department is imminent."
"I will have to hand over my power sooner or later, but you don't have to worry. Even if I'm not in this position, as long as no one has something to hold against you, no one can do anything to you."
Hearing Li Xianshu's words, he was stunned for a moment, and his heart moved slightly. Chen Yang asked carefully: "Aunt, did something happen?"
Li Xianshu glanced at Chen Yang approvingly and said, "You are really smart."
"It's much easier to talk to you than to Kuroda..."
"The Cabinet recently received top-secret intelligence regarding problems within the Kwantung Army."
"Someone reported to the Cabinet that some high-ranking members of the Kwantung Army were colluding with the Nationalist government."
"The cabinet has sent a special envoy who will arrive in Shanghai in three days. I will accompany him to the Northeast to investigate."
"Special envoy? Who?" Chen Yang couldn't help but ask.
Li Xianshu frowned, and after a while, she finally uttered a name.
"Deputy Commander of the Chinese Garrison Army, Chief of the Chinese Affairs Section of the General Staff Headquarters, Kagesa Masaaki..."
p.s., after some statistics, the current reward value is not that much, only about 20 to 30 a day. Hehe, I only owe one chapter, which will be made up on June 1st.
