Nakamura Shunsuke looked frustrated. He lowered his head and sighed heavily: "Yes, General. I understand your decision. I will arrange everything as soon as possible."

Zhou Zhengqing looked at Shunsuke Nakamura's departing back and felt a little relieved.

Sakurako stared at Zhou Zhengqing's back with a strange smile on her lips.

Master.

Chinese! Japanese!

There is still a long way to go. When the kindness in your heart is worn out, can you really stick to this principle? I really look forward to that day.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Only when Zhou Zhengqing walked away did Nakamura Shunsuke breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yingzi, what should we do now? Should we give up?"

"Hmph, Nakamura-kun, why are you so timid? Didn't I tell you that the young master's knowledge level is very limited? Unless you go to the scene, you can't tell anything just from the drawings! Why are you so easily frightened?" Sakurako snorted in dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Shunsuke Nakamura was speechless and didn't know what to say.

He wanted to hold on, but the problem was that Zhou Zhengqing put too much pressure on him.

As he experienced more and more things, the pressure Zhou Zhengqing emanated from also increased day by day.

On the surface, Zhou Zhengqing was still the same as before, and he would occasionally joke with them.

But Nakamura Shunsuke could still sense that Zhou Zhengqing’s eyes were becoming more and more indifferent and cold. . . .

"We have to give up here for now. Let's transport the things to the safe house first. We'll sneak there..."

"What! How can this be possible? The general has already banned it!" Nakamura Shunsuke was shocked.

"Hahaha, Nakamura-kun, do you want to be alienated by Itai Yudai and the others? Think about it, even if you don't do this, will Itai Yudai give up?

Don't forget, he has very ambitious ideals, do you want to be a stumbling block for him?" Yingzi said with a smile.

Hearing what Sakurako said, Nakamura Shunsuke instantly thought of the madness of Itai Yudai and the others, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. After thinking for a while, he said firmly: "Then I'll arrange it. I don't feel comfortable leaving such a dangerous matter to Itai Yudai and the others.

However, if the general investigates this matter in the future, I'm afraid I'll be finished!"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. The general is quite merciful. Even if he finds out about it later, he will most likely not do anything to you."

Merciful? Merciful enough to hang the man on a flagpole to dry!

Nakamura Shunsuke curled his lips. He didn't want to get involved, but the key point was that he had already joined. If he wanted to get out, it depended on whether Sakurako and Itai Yudai were willing to let him go.

. . . . . . . . .

Here, Zhou Zhengqing slowly returned to the office with a complicated mood.

The heavy footsteps, as if carrying countless worries and thoughts, made a dull sound on the ground, as if even the air became a little oppressive.

"Qi, has Lingzi returned to Tianjin?" Zhou Zhengqing suddenly stopped before stepping into the office, turned slightly, and asked Qi who was standing straight beside him.

"Not yet. The eldest lady has already sent a telegram. She has arrived in Lushun and will take the cargo ship of the Yingqi family from the mainland to return to Tianjin." When Qi heard Zhou Zhengqing's question, he immediately straightened up, bowed respectfully and answered.

"Oh..." Zhou Zhengqing couldn't help but let out a long sigh after hearing Qi's answer.

Seeing this, Qi couldn't help but frown, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He didn't understand why Zhou Zhengqing was sighing like that, so he asked doubtfully: "General, is there something wrong? Since the young lady is not here, I can do it for you."

"You?" Zhou Zhengqing glanced at Qi sideways, with a barely perceptible scrutiny in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I'll give you a task. Keep an eye on Nakamura Shunsuke and also keep an eye on Sakurako to see if the two of them are doing anything."

"Yes, General." Qi responded respectfully and bowed his head slightly to show that he accepted the order.

After receiving the order, Qi turned around and was about to leave, but stopped at the moment of turning around and asked in confusion: "General, did the second lady make any mistakes?"

How few mistakes has he made?

Zhou Zhengqing rolled his eyes secretly in his heart and thought helplessly.

"Sakurako and Shunsuke Nakamura came up with a dangerous plan, but I stopped them. I'm worried that they might pretend to obey my orders but actually go against their will, so you go and keep an eye on them." Zhou Zhengqing briefly explained the reason, his eyes still solemn.

"Dangerous plan?" Qi repeated this sentence subconsciously, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He frowned and thought, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said quickly, "Are you talking about the underground laboratory?"

"Uh, you know that too?!" Zhou Zhengqing was surprised. He raised his head with disbelief in his eyes.

"Of course, I'm not the only one who knows. Many people in the headquarters know about it, and even many of the military police working on the construction know about it." Qi Laoshi answered honestly. There was no artificiality in his expression, and his words revealed a sense of naturalness.

"I..." Zhou Zhengqing couldn't help but want to swear in his heart, an indescribable anger spread in his heart.

He tried his best to control his emotions, clenching and unclenching his fists several times. The urge to find someone to slap in the face kept rising in his heart, but he finally suppressed it.

Who just swore to keep it strictly confidential? The project hasn't even been completed yet, but the news has spread everywhere. Zhou Zhengqing secretly made a note of Nakamura Shunsuke.

"Then do you know what that laboratory is used for?" Zhou Zhengqing asked again without giving up, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if hoping to get some different answers from Qi.

As the question was asked, Qi was obviously a little hesitant, and finally hesitantly said: "I heard that they are conducting some bloody and secretive experiments." After that, he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look Zhou Zhengqing in the eye.

Zhou Zhengqing completely gave up hope, and his trust in Shunsuke Nakamura completely collapsed at this moment.

He secretly vowed that he would never believe anything Shunsuke Nakamura said again in his life.

On Qi's side, he was secretly thinking in his heart that Miss Sakurako was actually going to build a laboratory for her skinning business. No wonder the young master got angry, it was really a bit too much.

Miss Sakurako's mysterious smile and her seemingly weak but ruthless methods emerged in my mind, and a chill ran down my heart.

However, Zhou Zhengqing and Qi did not realize that they were not talking about the same thing.

This was actually what Shunsuke Nakamura did intentionally.

There were many military police involved in the construction of the laboratory, and with so many people talking, it was almost impossible to maintain complete confidentiality.

Shunsuke Nakamura understood this, so he simply spread the word that the laboratory was built for Sakurako.

In this way, the audience was cleverly confused, allowing others to focus their attention on Sakurako and reducing their speculation about the true purpose of the laboratory.

It can also prevent the military police from asking too much about the laboratory because of their fear of Sakurako.

After all, Sakurako's skinning technique had already spread throughout the army, and no one wanted to bring disaster upon themselves due to excessive curiosity. This strategy of killing two birds with one stone was a well-intentioned move.

But he never expected that when it came to Zhou Zhengqing, due to the confusion and misunderstanding of various information, it turned into a big misunderstanding, which indirectly made Zhou Zhengqing doubt and distrust him.

. . . . . . . .

After sending Qi away to carefully arrange the surveillance, Zhou Zhengqing felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

When Zhou Zhengqing entered the office, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away. He just wanted to lie down on the soft sofa to rest and relax his tense nerves.

However, this rare comfort did not last for a moment, as the office door was knocked hurriedly again.

"Who is it? Come in." Zhou Zhengqing shouted dissatisfiedly. He had no choice but to sit up straight and cheer himself up again.

The door opened, and Zhang Xiaolan slipped in extremely quickly, then closed the door with her backhand.

Zhou Zhengqing inadvertently caught a glimpse of the door being closed. The guard outside subconsciously turned his head to look inside, and an indescribable mean smile appeared on his face. This made Zhou Zhengqing speechless, and he secretly complained in his heart, what kind of people are his men? They all seem to be out of character.

He raised his hand and patted his forehead to dispel the helplessness and irritability in his heart, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Zhang Xiaolan who came in.

This sight made him couldn't help but frown.
