Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 422: Intelligence on the Japanese Troop Transport Ship

Zhang Yunhe looked at Yukawa Hidetake, then turned to the two bodyguards and Indian police officer Hasha and ordered, "You guys wait outside!"

"Yes!" Several people agreed quickly.

Yukawa Hidetake then said to Zhang Yunhe, "Director, I have already instructed the waiter to prepare a meal for your entourage. Please rest assured!"

"Well, let's go!" Zhang Yunhe said as he walked into the tavern, and Yukawa Hidetake hurriedly followed and led the way.

When they arrived at the door of a hidden room, Yukawa Hidetake opened the door and invited Zhang Yunhe in.

The room was quite spacious, so both of them took off their shoes when they entered. The tatami-style room looked very clean and tidy, with only a low table placed by the window.

As soon as the two sat down, a beautiful lady in a kimono opened the door and walked in with a tray containing drinks and a few side dishes.

"Please enjoy your meal!" The Japanese woman put down her wine, snacks, and bowls and chopsticks and said this before preparing to leave.

Yukawa Hidetake quickly bowed and said to the woman, "Mrs. Masako, I didn't expect you to come and serve me personally this time. I am deeply honored!"

The Japanese woman quickly bowed in return and said, "You two are both honored guests. It is my honor to serve you. Besides, one of the waiters in the store has taken leave these two days, so I will fill in for two days!"

Yukawa Hidetake introduced Zhang Yunhe to the Japanese woman: "This is the new deputy director of the Concession Police Department, Yamada Youren. Director Yamada is the real guest of honor!"

Zhang Yunhe took a look at the Japanese woman and felt that she possessed a maturity not found in other women. She was the type that became more attractive the more you looked at her. He bowed and said in Japanese, "Please take care of me, Masako-sama!"

The Japanese woman smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "This isn't the first time Yamada-kun has come to my shop. You're very polite!"

Zhang Yunhe was shocked. He didn't expect that Yamada's friend actually knew this Japanese woman. He quickly tried to make amends and said, "As you should!"

The Japanese woman smiled and looked at Yukawa Hidetake and asked, "The girls are ready. Would you like to invite them in to dance?"

Yukawa Hidetake immediately said: "Of course, we can't wait to enjoy the girls' graceful dance!"

Mrs. Masako smiled, nodded, and left the room.

"This is high-quality sake shipped from the country. It is very difficult to get, so I specially asked Mrs. Masako to save it for Director Yamada! Director Yamada, I'd like to toast you, please!" After filling the glass with wine, Hidetake Yukawa picked up the glass and said.

"Okay!" Zhang Yunhe picked up the wine glass and drank it.

The wine was not very strong, and Zhang Yunhe didn't feel anything when he drank it.

He put down his glass and asked, "Manager Yukawa, although I've been here several times, I don't know much about this Mrs. Masako. She's such a beautiful woman, yet she runs a sake tavern in this bustling place, and business is so brisk, yet she hasn't been harassed at all. She must be something special, right?"

Yukawa Hidetake was quite surprised but also very proud when he heard Zhang Yunhe ask him about Masako. He immediately said enthusiastically, "I heard that too. Masako came here with her husband a year ago. Her husband was serving in the army as a brigade commander. He was injured by an artillery shell during a battle and died before he could be sent to the rear hospital!"

Zhang Yunhe frowned and said, "Although her husband held a high military rank, he's dead after all. Masako is so beautiful and charming, I don't believe there aren't people who want to take advantage of her. How can she survive here without being harassed just because her husband is dead? Does she have other connections?"

Yukawa Hidetake smiled and said, "Director Yamada is indeed wise. I heard that Masako's brother is Consul Akamatsu, and her brother-in-law, Suzuki Shinzo, is the vice-chairman of the Naval Club. If ordinary people knew this relationship, they wouldn't dare to have any bad thoughts about her!"

"I said that Mrs. Masako is not an ordinary woman. Turns out that's the case!" Zhang Yunhe said with a smile.

As the two were talking, Mrs. Masako walked in with three girls in kimonos, followed by two musicians.

At Mrs. Masako's signal, the musicians began to play and sing, and the three girls stood in a row in front of Zhang Yunhe and Yukawa Hidetake and began to dance.

Zhang Yunhe was not interested in the musicians' singing, but was quite interested in the girls' dancing. After all, which man wouldn't love to see white and tender beautiful legs exposed?

Although Yukawa Hidetake was stunned, he did not forget the purpose of inviting Zhang Yunhe here today. After the girls danced for a while, he smiled and asked, "Director Yamada, how is it?"

Zhang Yunhe picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and nodded, "Okay!"

"Is the person better or the dance better?" asked Hidetake Yukawa.

"He's a good person, has good legs, and dances well, everything is good!" Zhang Yunhe said seriously.

Yukawa Hidetake chuckled, leaned forward and whispered, "As long as Director Yamada is satisfied, how about we divide the three girls up? You get two and I get one, how about that?"

It was obvious that Hidetake Yukawa had done some research on Yamada Tomoto in advance and knew what his preferences were.

Zhang Yunhe asked, "Are they really girls? Not women?"

Yukawa Hidetake immediately said, "Mrs. Masako promised me!"

Zhang Yunhe glanced at Yukawa Hidetake and asked with a smile, "Let alone the sake, even the cost of these three girls is not a small amount. Manager Yukawa spent such a huge amount to treat me. He must have something to ask of me, right?"

Yukawa Hidetake put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "I do have something I'd like to ask Director Yamada for help with. A batch of my goods was seized by the Concession Police Station's Water Anti-Smuggling Squad. I'd like to ask Director Yamada to do me a favor and have them return the goods to me!"

"Of course, I won't let Director Yamada suffer any loss!"

After saying that, he opened his briefcase, took out a wooden box from it, opened it on the low table, and then pushed it in front of Zhang Yunhe. There were ten small yellow croakers in the wooden box, sparkling under the light.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. After we get the goods out, I'll have a big reward for Director Yamada!"

Zhang Yunhe glanced at the gold bars in the wooden box, reached out to cover the box, looked at Yukawa Hidetake and said, "Go to the water anti-smuggling team tomorrow afternoon to pick up the goods. I will call them and ask them to let them go!"

Yukawa Hidetake was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately picked up his glass and toasted. After drinking, he said, "They all say that Director Yamada is a very easy person to talk to. It turns out to be true!"

"I heard that Director Yamada is a tea lover. I'm going to Lin'an in a couple of days. When I come back, I will definitely bring some good tea for Director Yamada!"

Zhang Yunhe asked casually, "What is Manager Yukawa doing in Lin'an? Does your Mitsui & Co. have a branch in Lin'an?"

"That's not the case!" Yukawa Hidetake shook his head and said, "More troops have been sent here from the country. This time, our Mitsui & Co. freighter has been requisitioned to serve as a troop transport. I'm going to Lin'an to collect some cargo. After the freighter brings the soldiers to Lin'an, I'll arrange for personnel to transport the cargo back to the country so that the freighter doesn't make an empty trip!"

After hearing these words, Zhang Yunhe immediately realized that this was confidential information. It was not surprising that the Japanese were increasing their troops, but in the past, the news of the increase was strictly blocked, and it was difficult for the outside world to receive specific information. Unexpectedly, he heard it by accident from Yukawa Hidetake this time.
