Living in the Republic of China era, from undercover agent to immortality

With eyes blazing with fury, Suzuki Chida pointed his gun at Military Police Captain Takeda Ichiro, about to pull the trigger.

At that moment, Li Changfeng swiftly raised his gun.

"boom--"

He already had the Browning pistol in his hand, and shot the female agent Suzuki Chida straight through the back of the head.

The bullet pierced his cheek, drawing a smear of blood, and landed on a nearby pillar.

The light in Suzuki Chida's eyes disappeared, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.

"what--"

Junko Oshima gasped and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Takeda Ichiro, standing to the side, was pale-faced, and had just drawn his gun.

He was drenched in sweat.

If Li Changfeng had been even a fraction slower, he would have been the one to die.

"Thank you so much, Takeuchi-kun!"

Seeing Li Changfeng slowly put his gun away, the military police captain, Takeda Ichiro, immediately bowed and thanked him.

He had just saved Li Changfeng, and now the other party had saved him again.

At this point, his trust in Li Changfeng had reached its peak.

"Takeuchi-kun, to express my gratitude..."

“I have decided to transfer 25 percent of my shares in the black market to you.”

"And I will also entrust the future collaboration with Mr. Oshima to you."

Takeda Ichiro glanced very seriously at Oshima Saburo beside him and said with a sincere expression.

Saburo Oshima nodded.

"Thank you, Takeda-kun, for standing up for Junko. It's the least I can do."

Saburo Oshima was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, the problem that her daughter Junko couldn't solve changed because of this incident.

His ambition was not only to expand his business to Shanghai, but also to Beijing and his home country.

With Takeuchi's support, everything went smoothly.

"Mr. Takeda, you're too kind. This woman came here specifically for me."

"Miss Junko was implicated because she was trying to save me."

Li Changfeng waved his hand and said very politely.

“Takeuchi-kun, don’t be modest. You represent His Majesty the Emperor.”

"This woman dared to assassinate you; she deserves to die a hundred times over."

“I immediately notified the military police to take her body back for examination.”

"Could you please see Mr. Oshima and Ms. Junko off for me?"

Ichiro Takeda bowed slightly and said with a serious expression.

Saburo Oshima, who was standing to the side, also nodded.

“Takeuchi-kun, this woman has spoiled my mood tonight.”

"Come to my house later, we'll talk about business."

"Junko's mother was also from Xinjing and was an old acquaintance of Mr. Ito."

"You two could have a more in-depth discussion..."

Saburo Oshima looked at Li Changfeng and said with a serious expression.

These words startled Li Changfeng, who couldn't help but nod.

"Okay, this journey isn't very safe."

"I'll just see Miss Junko off."

With that, he led the way downstairs.

As the gunshots rang out, some Japanese soldiers patrolling nearby arrived.

Military Police Captain Takeda Ichiro personally negotiated with them and escorted the three away.

He stayed behind to assist the patrol team in sealing off the area.

........

Two hours later, at the Black Dragon Society's stronghold.

When Chairman Toyama received the phone call, he was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand to pieces.

"Baka! The military police are truly lawless."

"Miss Chida was killed and labeled as an anti-Japanese element."

"Commander Matsumoto wants to summon me for questioning."

"How could this happen...?"

This happened right after General Doi-mado's funeral.

Touyama felt like his head was about to explode.

Chida Suzuki was a close confidant of Ichiro Harada and a member of Special Section 1.

How am I supposed to explain this to Major Kawashima and Section Chief Kawashima?

"President, don't worry."

"Major Harada has just left with the general's ashes. We must wait patiently."

"General Okada has ordered Miss Kawashima to come to Shanghai to handle the Bai Mansion matter."

"I believe she will be able to find the murderer who killed the General."

The intelligence chief, Yui Iceland, spoke up.

She was Harada Ichiro's confidante and, like Suzuki Chida, belonged to Special Division 1.

Seeing that Chairman Toyama was having a headache, he immediately offered some words of advice.

“Miss Iceland, I understand.”

"In that case, I will go and explain the situation to Commander Matsumoto."

"To clear Ms. Chida's name..."

With that, he walked out the door with a confident look on his face.

They got into a jeep and headed towards the Shanghai headquarters.

........

On the other side, Li Changfeng was riding in Saburo Oshima's car.

It took about an hour to get to the outside of a villa in Hongkou District.

"Takeuchi-kun, come in and have a cup of tea."

"Let me tell you about some business matters."

“Our Oshima Trading Company has close ties with the Osaka Division and the embassy in the concession.”

"Now that you are a shareholder, it is essential for you to understand this."

Saburo Oshima stopped the car and looked at Li Changfeng.

Chunzi, on the other hand, held Li Changfeng's hand the whole way and buried her head in his chest.

Like a frightened little rabbit, it looked reluctant to leave.

Li Changfeng estimated that he wouldn't be able to leave until he got the little rabbit home.

He then sighed and nodded.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave."

With that, he opened the car door and carried Junko Oshima out of the car.

Holding her hand, he followed Saburo Oshima into the courtyard.

A few minutes later, the three of them went upstairs.

Saburo Oshima woke his wife up and whispered some instructions in her ear.

Chunzi also brought hot water so that Li Changfeng could wash his face.

Everyone then entered the living room, where Saburo Oshima's wife had already prepared tea.

The fireplace in the room was burning bright red, driving away the cold outside.

Although it is springtime, the weather is still a bit chilly.

However, Saburo Oshima's home was very warm.

"Your Excellency, please make yourself at home."

"The room has been cleaned and the bedding has been changed."

"Let's have a good talk, and then Junko will take care of you so you can rest."

Saburo Oshima poured Li Changfeng a cup of tea and said it very warmly.

Li Changfeng nodded, picked up his teacup, and began to slowly savor the tea.

"Excellent, fine tea!"

As the two were talking, Saburo Oshima's wife had already pulled Junko up to the bathroom on the second floor.

Hearing the sound of running water from upstairs, Li Changfeng immediately felt relieved.

Saburo Oshima took out two contracts and placed them on the table.

“Takeuchi-kun, these are the shares we are giving you after discussing them with Takeda-kun.”

"Once you sign here, you will become a shareholder of the Oshima Chamber of Commerce."

"To be honest, Mr. Fujita from the Mei Agency is also one of them."

“Oshima Trading Company is my family business, but it has grown bigger and bigger since the war started.”

"It involves many industries, and many of them are orders from the Ministry of the Army."

"The profits are quite substantial, and I believe you will be interested."

As he spoke, Saburo Oshima pushed the contract towards him.

Li Changfeng thought for a moment, then checked it and signed his name on it.

Seeing that Li Changfeng did not refuse, Oshima Saburo smiled slightly.

He carefully put the contract away and left a copy for Li Changfeng.

“Takeuchi-kun, I have transferred 30% of my shares to Junko.”

“If you get married, Mr. Takeuchi will be the chairman of the Shanghai branch.”

"You will have control over the black market in Zhabei, the trade in the concessions, and the oil business in the port."

Saburo Oshima continued, "This is an enormous temptation."

These deals combined are worth tens of millions, but they represent a huge investment.

"Oshima-kun, I need to think about it carefully."

"I really like Miss Junko, and I hope you can give me some time."

Li Changfeng did not refuse directly, but thought about it and said.

This Oshima Chamber of Commerce is practically a chaebol.

No wonder they're trying to curry favor with me; it seems they're after my relationship with Ito Hirobumi.

Li Changfeng dared not agree rashly and could only wait and see.
