Chapter 1013 Igniting the Fire

The process of borrowing people from Xu Baichuan went smoothly.

After all, it's a matter of state and official business.

Xu Baichuan did not take the opportunity to make any demands.

Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if he brought it up.

The external branch, within the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, wielded considerable power, easily ranking among the top five.

However, their rights were concentrated in the occupied areas of the Nationalist government.

Insufficient monetization ability.

Aside from profiting from smuggling, there are almost no other ways to make money.

This was clearly not enough for the many bigwigs of the Military Intelligence Bureau. After all, each of them had their own way of making money, and their wealth was immense.

Only Ye Shaohong didn't care about this.

The Ye family's immense wealth gave him the confidence to take on this important responsibility.

After leaving Xu Baichuan's office, Ye Shaohong returned to his own office.

He also needed to arrange for the newly selected undercover agents to go to various places in batches.

This task is a long-term endeavor.

It's impossible to let those undercover agents set off together.

This increases the likelihood of exposure.

This is a meticulous task, and Ye Shaohong needs to work on it slowly. According to his estimate, it will take at least ten days to complete the entire task.

He was busy. Just as Ye Shaohong was racking his brains over this, Luo Wa, far away in Shanghai, also encountered difficulties.

That little Japanese devil, Fukugen Saburo, he's a real piece of work.

He's a complete beast.

After a chance encounter at a cabaret sparked his interest in Luo Wa, Fukugen Saburo immediately took action.

The next day, Fukugen Saburo arranged for Japanese ronin to block Luo Wa's path on the street.

Intending to provoke and create trouble.

As for Fukugen Saburo, he hid in a street corner, intending to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.

Showcase your bravery and prowess.

But Fukugen Saburo's scheme this time was clearly doomed to fail.

Because Luo Wa was out today, she had two unfamiliar guards with her. These guards, of course, were hired by Tian Yu Fan.

He used the excuse that Luo Wa was alone in Shanghai and her safety could not be guaranteed, so he transferred two people from the Tian family's guard team to protect Luo Wa closely.

It was a kind intention, after all.

At the same time, it also demonstrates his protective nature as the eldest son of the Tian family.

Even with good intentions, things can sometimes turn out badly.

Faced with the Japanese ronin's ambush, the Tian family's guards, despite being armed, dared not step forward to stop them.

We can only try to dissuade them.

This makes things complicated.

Luo Wa couldn't show off her skills in front of others, so she could only pretend to be timid and hide in the car.

Zhang He, the old butler who accompanied her, was an extremely shrewd and calculating person.

Sensing something amiss, he immediately searched around. Soon, he found the Japanese soldier, Fukugen Saburo, at the street corner.

It is indeed an old man left over from the Qing Dynasty.

As one gets older, one's mind becomes increasingly alert and sharp.

Zhang He almost instantly guessed the truth of the matter and saw through the true nature of the world.

He thought about it and finally made a decision.

That means we can't let Luo Wa have any contact with Fukugen Saburo so easily.

For men, things that are too easily obtained are often not cherished.

A beast like Fukugen Saburo would become extremely insane, which would obviously be detrimental to the smooth implementation of Project Mountain Eagle.

So Zhang He took action.

He patted the driver in the driver's seat while he was in the car, telling him to get out.

Then…….

Zhang He then sat in the driver's seat.

Remind Rova to hold on tight to the back of the chair.

With the roar of the car engine, the old butler Zhang He abandoned the entourage outside the car.

He stepped on the gas and drove off.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, the Japanese ronin blocking the road was stunned, and the Tian family's guards were dumbfounded.

They clearly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

And what about Fukugen Saburo, who went into hiding?

He was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed loudly.

His entire face was twisted and deformed, and his narrowed eyes were filled with intense, violent emotions.

After leaving the scene of the incident, Luo Wa and Zhang He had a brief conversation in the car.

He recounted what had just happened and the true story behind it.

Zhang He was about to drive back to the hotel immediately to avoid the limelight.

Luo Wa, however, offered a different opinion.

She felt this was a golden opportunity that she couldn't afford to miss.

Luo insisted that she drive to find Tian Yufan immediately and tell him about the matter.

Expressing grievances.

It must be admitted that Luo Wa's approach was a smart choice.

By doing this, she could show Tian Yufan her vulnerable and helpless side.

This further deepened my impression of Tian Yufan.

At the same time, she can also use her vulnerable demeanor to fuel Tian Yufan's protective instincts, thus gaining control over his heart in the shortest amount of time.

In addition, there is another benefit.

That is, unrequited love can further fuel a person's possessiveness.

This person was none other than the Japanese soldier, Saburo Fukugen.

Wasn't he planning to take action secretly? Wasn't he trying to snatch himself away from Tian Yufan?

You can just let that bastard continue watching her and Tian Yufan being all lovey-dovey and showing off their affection.

The closer they became, the more interested Fukugen Saburo became in her.

The more intense the heat.

Only when this possessive sentiment reaches a certain level can they smoothly launch the Mountain Eagle Project.

At this point in time, we cannot let our enemy, Fukugen Saburo, take control.

In order to take the initiative, it must be in her hands.

After listening to Luo Wa's thoughts, Zhang He thought for a moment and then understood everything.

He agreed.

The car turned around and the two immediately drove towards the Tian Mansion.

At the Tian family mansion, Luo Wa met Tian Yu Fan, who had just woken up from a night of heavy drinking.

I also met Madam Tian.

At first, Madam Tian was very unhappy about Luo Wa's arrival.

She thought that Luo Wa was one of the women Tian Yufan was messing around with outside, and that she had come to his door to take advantage of the situation.

But this misunderstanding only lasted for a brief moment.

When Old Madam Tian heard the old housekeeper Zhang He's self-introduction and learned about Luo Wa's cover identity, she realized she had made a mistake.

Luo Wa was misunderstood.

While feeling guilty and remorseful, I was also filled with joy.

I'm so glad my eldest son has finally behaved himself for once, unlike before when he was causing trouble outside.

Could it really be love at first sight?

Thinking of this, Madam Tian grew to like Luo Wa more and more, wishing she could treat Luo Wa as her daughter-in-law.

After learning about Luo Wa's ordeal, Old Madam Tian was also furious.

In Shanghai, the Tian family was not a rootless duckweed.

Even now, with the Japanese occupying the Chinese-controlled areas of Shanghai, the Tian family still has powerful backers and something to rely on.

They are not to be trifled with by a few Japanese ronin.

In order to avenge Luo Wa, Madam Tian displayed the formidable demeanor of a powerful local matriarch of this era, showing no sign of fear or apprehension.

She immediately arranged for people to search the streets for any Japanese ronin who dared to intercept Luo Wa.

They planned to kill them secretly at night when all was quiet.

The Tian family has the ability and the confidence to do so.

The operation that night went very smoothly.

They're just two Japanese ronin. Don't be fooled by their loud and arrogant manner in front of ordinary people.

Ultimately, they were just unemployed vagrants of the Japanese.

They were no different from the thugs and hooligans in Shanghai.

It's just that their identities are different.

If you kill, you will kill.

Neither Old Madam Tian nor Tian Yufan took them seriously. The only one whose feelings differed was Fukuhara Saburo.

Those two ronin were his henchmen, who had helped him do many bad things in secret.

Now that his men are dead, Fukugen Saburo isn't stupid; how could he not know what happened?

How could they not guess who was behind this?

He wanted to be angry.

They wanted to take revenge on the Tian family.

But now the Tian family are leaders in Shanghai's financial industry, and Shanhe Bank plays a stabilizing role in Shanghai's economy.

This is not someone that Fukugen Saburo can easily deal with.

Given his personal relationship with Tian Yufan, Fukugen Saburo could only suppress his anger after a bout of impotent rage.

But his possessiveness towards Luo Wa, just as Luo Wa had anticipated, grew increasingly frantic and intense. It had reached the point where he wanted nothing more than to immediately seize control of her and torment her at will…
