"Yes, General Nakamura Kōtarō. Originally, General Nakamura served as the Commander of the Korean Army and later became the Commander of the Eastern Army. This year he was transferred to the reserve and now he is about to return to his hometown in Honshu, so tomorrow I will represent Lieutenant General Hata Shunroku to see him off." said Takada Kō.

  "What time is it exactly?" asked Mu Yang.

  "It's scheduled for 11 o'clock at noon, right at the Shanghai dock. Before that, a simple farewell ceremony will be held on the other side. Kurita-kun, are you going to take this boat back together?" Takada Kō asked.

  "Time is a bit rushed, I still have some things that haven't been done, maybe it will take one or two more nights."

  "In that case, you can follow the ship that will be coming from Southeast Asia in three days. At that time, Lieutenant Commander Kōtōjima will also be returning together with it, so he should be able to take care of you."

  Muyang heard this and matched what Jiang Tingdao said earlier. It seems that the ship from Southeast Asia should be the one carrying these antiques and treasures. Muyang clenched his fist excitedly.

  "I wonder if this ship is just passing by?" asked Mu Yang.

  "This is something that can be said to you, the military department's order to plunder valuable materials from Southeast Asia and China, I believe Kurita-san also knows about it."

  Muyang nodded in agreement.

  "This ship is the one that's fully loaded with Southeast Asian goods, it will make a brief stop in Shanghai, load up on goods from China and then transport them all to our island together. Mr. Kōtō has been transferred to the Army Headquarters this time, so he also became the person in charge of Chinese goods for this treasure escort mission."

  Mu Yang nodded, but in his mind he was extremely excited. He had finally obtained the exact information about this batch of antiques. Although it seemed impossible to intercept them in Shanghai now, he could still chase after them. Even if he had to go all the way to Japan, he would get them back.

  "This timing is quite suitable, so please arrange for me to take this ship back to Tokyo with General Terauchi. I've been out for many days and if I return late, I'm afraid I'll be exposed." He said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

  "Young people, it's normal to have fun, but be careful tonight." Takada Kō wore a mysterious smile on his face.

  "What's wrong?" Mu Yang was taken aback.

  "I heard you've got a female agent from the National Party. The woman herself isn't much of a problem, but you'd better be careful - these women are all trained operatives, and if they resist, it's very possible they'll hurt you." Takaeda Kō sneered.

  Mo Yang put his heart at ease, and cooperated with a sly smile: "Don't you think it's more interesting this way? If it were that kind of obedient woman, there are plenty of those around. I just want to try something different. What would be the taste of a woman in this situation, and what would her reaction be? Besides, I have confidence in myself."

  "Hahaha, being young is great! I'm too old to play around like that now." Takaeda Kou let out a hearty laugh.

  Muyang also smiled along with him.

  He got the antique information he wanted, and also received an additional piece of information about a Japanese general. Mu Yang felt very satisfied. It was getting late, so Mu Yang bid farewell and left, with Takada Kō sending him off all the way to the door before returning.

  This time it was a lieutenant colonel who sent someone to escort Mu Yang back, and also brought four Japanese soldiers as his guards.

  The lieutenant colonel aide named Kikuta Seiichirō was dispatched to be in charge of the defense of Muyang for these few days. Takada still didn't feel at ease about Muyang's safety, and could only add more personnel. He had told Kikuta that it was just protection, not to obstruct any actions of Muyang, if they were to leave, then to keep a distance, not to pry into Muyang's actions or secrets.

  Kikuta Seiichirō said respectfully at the door, "Kurita-san, we are right across from your room. If anything happens, please call out loudly and we will be there in an instant."

  Mu Yang furrowed his brow after hearing his words and said: "Do you think I can't even handle a woman?"

  "Oh no, it's not like that, I didn't mean it that way. What I meant to say is, if you encounter any danger, we will protect you."

  "Suit yourselves," Mu Yang said with a wave of his hand, "but without my permission and orders, you can't easily enter my room."

  "Hello, Kurita-san."

  Mu Yang opened the door and the first person he saw was not Qin Huaiyun, but Liao Yahui, which made Mu Yang furrow his brow.

  Liao Yahui saw Mu Yang enter, and quickly stood up from the sofa, respectfully saying: "Commander, you're back. I've followed your orders and sent that woman over, she's on the bed in the room."

  Mu Yang looked around and asked, "Is there anyone else besides you?"

  "No, they are not allowed to enter your room. I'm here mainly to wait for Lieutenant Commander and to report to you." Liao Yahui replied hastily.

  Mu Yang looked up and down at the female special agent wearing a military uniform, feeling that this set was quite stylish, and walked forward to shake hands.

  Liao Yahui's instinct was to dodge.

  "Don't move, or you'll regret it." Mu Yang warned.

  Liao Yahui pursed her lips and stood still, not daring to move.

  Mu Yang's hand continued to stretch forward, almost touching the woman's chest. At this moment, Liao Ya Hui had an urge to close her eyes. Suddenly, Mu Yang's hand changed and only stretched out one index finger, which began to touch the sign on the woman's chest.

  "Is this the insignia of your military rank? How is it divided specifically? What's the difference with our Great Japanese Empire's military rank insignia?" Murai said with a hint of jest.

  Mo Yang was obviously teasing this female spy intentionally.

  Liao Yahui felt indignant and humiliated, thinking to himself: You're a lieutenant in the Japanese Army Ministry, can't you even recognize a badge?

  "Yes, Lieutenant Colonel, the insignia on our military uniforms are roughly the same as those of the Imperial Army, indicating rank, seniority and years of service." Liao Yahui said with a straight face.

  "Hey, if your chest was a bit bigger, I think this badge would look even better on you."

  Liao Yahui was so angry she almost gnashed her silver teeth to pieces.

  "Haha, you can go now."

  After hearing Mu Yang's words, Liao Ya Hui finally felt relieved and quickly walked towards the door.

  When your hand touches the door handle, Mu Yang's voice comes again: "I will stay in Shanghai for a few more days, but I don't want to see any more flies flying around me. If you want to live well, it's best to be sensible."

  Liao Yahui's body trembled and she quickly opened the door and walked out.

  When she opened the door, however, she saw Kikuta Seiichirō Shōsa standing outside, and Liao Yahui hastily saluted.

  "This doesn't concern you anymore, you can leave. Also, Mr. Kuriita's safety is our responsibility, he doesn't like people from 76, so don't appear in front of him again, got it?" Kikuta Seiichiro warned.

  "Yes, Lieutenant Colonel, I guarantee that I will never appear beside Lieutenant Colonel Rintarou." Liao Yahui hastily replied.

  As soon as Liao Yahui got into her own car outside the international hotel, she still felt her heart beating wildly and said with hatred: "Follow him? Who would want to see that perverted dead ghost again, today is really unlucky."

  Then shouted at the driver in front: "Drive, what are you waiting for."
