Yuan Ye thought for a while and quickly thought of a way to find out the addresses of these technicians. The mint moved to the mountain city, and these technicians were originally employees of the mint. The mint should know their addresses in Shanghai, so this information could be obtained through the mountain city headquarters.

It was already past six o'clock when Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao finished the meeting. As soon as the meeting was over, Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao rushed to the office. Seeing Yuan Ye and Tokugawa Mitsuko, he said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I had a meeting just now that lasted a bit long. I kept you waiting."

"You're busy with work, so it's okay for us to wait a while."

Yuan Ye expressed his understanding and looked reasonable.

I thought to myself, if you hadn't held this meeting, I wouldn't have known about your conspiracy.

Tokugawa Mitsuko ignored all this and complained with a pout:

"I've been waiting for an hour, and my stomach is growling."

Kagesa Tadaaki laughed heartily.

"Look, our photons are all starving. It's my fault. Let's go eat now.

I asked the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal, please eat more later."

The three of them came to the private room in the cafeteria. Yuan Ye saw two strangers there. Judging from their voices, they should be Yamamoto Senzo and Inoue Kawa. It seems that in order to ensure their safety, Yingzuo Zhenzhao let them live in the Plum Agency.

Kagesa Tadaaki gave the introduction.

"This is Yamamoto-kun and Inoue-kun. They just came from Tokyo and are my guests."

Because these two people had not eaten either, Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao called them together to welcome them.

He also introduced Tokugawa Mitsuko and Yuan Ye.

"This is my cousin, Ms. Tokugawa Mitsuko, and this is Director Yuan Shikai of the Political Security Department of the Shanghai Municipal Government, who is also my friend."

When the two heard that the beautiful woman in front of them was Tokugawa Mitsuko, they knew of course that she was not ordinary. She was the eldest daughter of the top aristocratic Tokugawa family. Her grandfather, Tokugawa Kada, was the Speaker of the House of Peers. Even the Prime Minister had to bow to him. They had never seen Tokugawa Mitsuko before, and they did not expect to see her today. So they quickly stood up and bowed:

"It's really an honor to meet Miss Guangzi. Miss Guangzi, please take care of me!"

This is not just a compliment, Sanben Senzo and Inoue Kawa really think so.

Tokugawa Mitsuko smiled slightly and said nothing. She had heard such words too many times and had become accustomed to them.

She was actually a little unhappy in her heart. Why did her cousin invite two unrelated people to have dinner together? To be honest, she didn't like this kind of occasion.

However, she believed that her cousin did not do this on purpose. It was probably because they happened to be together and it was difficult for him to arrange them separately.

Besides, she had her own purpose for coming here. Shi Kai must have offended many people because of the incident at the municipal government, and someone would definitely take revenge on him. She also wanted to ask her cousin to provide some protection for Shi Kai.

Yamashita Senzo and Inoue Kawa did not dare to express dissatisfaction with Tokugawa Mitsuko's reserve. Instead, they felt it was normal. Shouldn't the eldest daughter of a top aristocratic family be high and mighty?

The two of them then bowed to Yuan Ye and said nice to meet each other.

They had just arrived and did not know Yuan Ye, let alone heard of him, but they were a little curious. This Chinese man attended the banquet with Miss Guangzi, so he must have a very special position in General Yingzo's heart.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao casually asked about the handling of the murder case of Su Xiwu. Yuan Ye told him the result and expressed his gratitude to Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao for his support again. Then he told Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao about the assassination attempt against himself.

Before Kagesa Tadaaki could speak, Tokugawa Mitsuko said anxiously:

"Cousin, Shi Kai has offended so many people. His life is in danger at all times. You must think of a way to ensure Shi Kai's safety."

As she spoke, the care and concern on her face was evident. Yamashita Xianzang and Inoue Kawa also noticed that Miss Guangzi and Yuan Shikai had a special relationship. Combined with the expressions they had observed between the two while drinking, and Miss Guangzi's frequent servings of food to him, even a fool could see that the two were clearly in a romantic relationship.

This made both Yamashita Senzo and Inoue Kawa feel incredible that the eldest daughter of a top aristocratic family actually fell in love with a seemingly ordinary Chinese man.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

Since his cousin had spoken, Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao naturally had to express his opinion. He could also see that his cousin really loved Yuan Shikai.

He thought for a while and said:

"Such a thing actually happened. Shi Kaijun's safety is indeed worrying.

I think this is how it will work. In a couple of days you will accompany me to inspect the city government. I will let everyone know about our relationship, and see who dares to have bad intentions towards you. Otherwise, they will be the enemy of our Great Japanese Empire.

Shi Kaijun, if you feel it is necessary, I will send two more capable men to protect you personally."

After saying this, Kagesa Tadaaki said to Tokugawa Mitsuko:

"Guangzi, what do you think of my arrangement, cousin?"

"Okay, thank you so much, cousin. You love me the most."

Tokugawa Mitsuko said happily.

Yuan Ye felt that this was a good thing. Yingzuo Zhenzhao's personal accompaniment to the city government inspection was undoubtedly a declaration that Yingzuo Zhenzhao, the most powerful man in Shanghai, was his backer. All traitors, big and small, even Wang Jianming, had to be wary of him and dared not offend him easily.

This can be considered as using a big banner to cover up one's own shortcomings.

But sending two people to protect him would make it difficult for him to move freely, so Yuan Ye said:

"General Yingzuo, thank you for your concern. If you go to the city government to inspect, no one will plot against me again.

In that case, there's no need to send two people to protect me. I don't think it's necessary. It's a waste of your manpower, and I also feel a little uncomfortable with it.

Besides, I have a guard battalion under my command, which should be able to protect my safety.

If I really need you to send someone to protect me in the future, I will ask you again."

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao felt that what Yuan Ye said made sense, and nodded.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later if we need anything. How about this, I should be free the day after tomorrow morning. Come to my place early in the morning and accompany me to the city government for an inspection. I'll call Mayor Su."

"Cousin, I want to go too."

Tokugawa Mitsuko interrupted.

"This is official business, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going!"

Tokugawa Mitsuko said with a pout, looking unreasonable.

"Okay, go if you want."

Kagesa Tadaaki couldn't persuade Tokugawa Mitsuko, so he had no choice but to agree.

Yamamoto Senzo and Inoue Kawa watched from the side and could not get a word in. They could also see that General Yingzuo and Miss Mitsuko had a very good relationship as cousins, so they did not dare to look down on Yuan Shikai and they drank a lot of wine with each other.
