You were asked to keep a low profile and lie low, so you became the chief of a special high-tech dep

"I'll give you an explanation, but who will give us an explanation? One of our British businessmen and a Chinese woman died tragically on their way home. While trying to catch the murderer, three of our policemen died and two were injured. All this was because of you Japanese. Shouldn't you give us an explanation and an explanation?"

When CEO Evan heard what Tian Chaoyang said, he retorted angrily.

In the past, there were constant cases in the International Settlement, but ever since it became associated with the Japanese, the order in the International Settlement began to become chaotic.

Upon hearing this, Sato Ichiro glared at Mr. Evan like a ferocious monster and said angrily:

"What does your death and injury to the police have to do with our Great Empire of Japan? If you enforce the law in a civilized manner, present the facts and reason, would our three Japanese be willing to risk their lives with you?"

"Civilized law enforcement? Commander Sato, the fact that you can say this is like a huge joke to me."

Sato Ichiro retorted shamelessly, "What a joke! Didn't Captain Shimabashi convince people with reason when he searched Johnson's opium den? Did he use force on Mr. Johnson? Did our great Japan torture Johnson from beginning to end? But wasn't the truth of the case still known to the world? I said you enforced the law in a barbaric way, am I wronged?"

Upon hearing this, Keiko Tanaka, Ryosuke Hihara, Chaoyang Tokita, and Li Qun all gave Sato Ichiro a big thumbs up.

Even when Jiang Yifan was translating to General Manager Evan, a smug smile appeared on his face.

When Director Evan heard this, his face suddenly turned awkward, and for a moment he couldn't find any reason to refute.

Just as Richard was about to speak, a stormy roar suddenly sounded downstairs:

"Down with little Japan!"

"Resolutely drive the Japanese out of the International Settlement!"

"The Japanese must pay with blood!"

"Return Mr. Johnson's guns, ammunition, and opium!"

"The Japanese are bandits!"

"Drive the Japanese out of China!"

Hearing the shouting downstairs, the Japanese and British leaders in Shanghai, who were engaged in a verbal battle, hurried to the window and looked out. What they saw was that the streets were full of British people.

They raised their fists high, shouted slogans, and their angry expressions were about to explode!

Seeing this scene, Keiko Tanaka, Ichiro Sato, and Chaoyang Tokita all looked at Li Qun at the same time.

Li Qun was stunned!

What does it mean that they are all looking at me? They didn't say there would be a demonstration today?

This, this, this can't be blamed on me, right?

But before Li Qun could react and figure out how to explain, he suddenly heard earth-shaking shouts from the direction of the gate of the International Settlement.

"Severely punish the perpetrators!"

"Severely punish the perpetrators!"

"The British must hand over the International Settlement!"

"The British must hand over the International Settlement!"

"The British want to murder high-ranking Japanese officials with Chinese agents, but we will never agree to it!"

“…We absolutely refuse to agree to this!”

"We firmly oppose the British turning the International Settlement into an anti-Japanese base!"

"We firmly oppose the British turning the International Settlement into an anti-Japanese base!"

Hearing the slogans echoing downstairs and in the distance, Consul Richard immediately looked at Tokita Chaoyang and said:

"Consul Tokita, this is probably another action you have been planning for a long time. Do you really want to be our enemy?"

Before Tokita Chaoyang could speak, Sato Ichiro answered:

"You are covered in white hair, but you call others monsters. Why don't you say that the slogans downstairs were planned by you for a long time? Are you allowed to set fires, but we can't light a kerosene lamp?"

When the translator finished translating Sato Ichiro's words, Richard couldn't help but applaud Sato Ichiro:

"I didn't expect that the Commander is an expert on China and knows Chinese allusions very well. Your senior officials from Shanghai are all here today, so just speak frankly. What exactly do you want to do?"

As soon as he saw that they were going to talk about serious business, Sato Ichiro stopped talking, because diplomatic language is very changeable. The same sentence can be understood as moving forward or backward. Sometimes, retreat is progress, and sometimes it is progress is retreat.

This involves the art of language, but Ichiro Sato doesn't have this ability.

He would be straightforward and to the point.

Tokita Chaoyang immediately replied:

"Consul Richard, we don't actually have any major conflicts. Why do we always fuss over small things? We have no desire for the International Settlement. We sincerely hope to have good relations with Britain, but in fact, this place has become a refuge and umbrella for anti-Japanese forces. In the past, they assassinated pseudo-senior officials and Chinese who were friendly and harmonious with the Japanese, but now it has evolved into a plan to murder all senior officials of the Empire of Japan in Shanghai. Can we blame the Empire of Japan for this?"

Having said this, Tokita Chaoyang paused for a moment, then continued:

"Especially now, among British businessmen, there is a phenomenon of hatred towards the Japanese, which is growing at an absurd rate. This is not a good thing. Do you really want to go to war with the Empire of Japan? Now, we are paying close attention to the development of the situation in the Hua Man Lou Nightclub. We have suspected that they are colluding with Chinese agents. But we are concerned about evidence. Therefore, I hope that the International Settlement will not restrict all actions of the Japanese intelligence department in the International Settlement, and if necessary, give strong support and help, which is in line with the common interests of our two countries!"

Jiang Yifan was really shocked when he heard this!

It seems that the Japanese have already suspected that there are traces of Chinese agents in Huamanlou Nightclub. Perhaps Jia Xiaolin and the Japanese ronin are in this small building to monitor the suspicious people in Huamanlou Nightclub, but they are the only ones who are kept in the dark.

The cunning Keiko Tanaka is really good at playing tricks!

We must find a way to notify Xiao Yunlong and have the National Salvation Army evacuate Hua Manlou as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to leave.

After listening to the translation, Richard answered casually:

"Excuse me, Consul Tokida Chaoyang, I admit that many incidents that endangered the interests of the Japanese Empire occurred in our International Settlement, but did it not happen in the French Concession? Did it not happen in the Chinese Concession? Didn't your Japanese Concession also have constant vicious cases? Is this something that our International Settlement can control? Therefore, your statement is completely untenable. However, since the current situation is somewhat complicated, I will report your statement to the British Foreign Office. So I still hope that you will go back and wait patiently for our reply. For your safety, I suggest that you leave the International Settlement now."

"Okay! Consul Richard, we are waiting for your reply. However, you must ensure our safety before we leave the International Settlement." Tokita Chaoyang looked at Sato Ichiro, Hihara Ryosuke, Tanaka Keiko and Li Qun and asked.

"That's no problem. I'll ask Dean Adams to get you out of the concession safely." Director Evan assured casually.

"Who will guarantee the safety of the Japanese in the Youzi Ballroom in the International Settlement?" Jiang Yifan asked Mr. Evan without losing any opportunity.
