Chapter 1157 No matter what, we must get our hands on this gold.
Zuo Mingyue sat beside Cuicui, occasionally feeding her small amounts of water from the spirit well. Cuicui had lost too much blood; her pale cheeks had only a trace of color left, and it seemed it would take her some time to wake up.
Seeing that Zuo Mingyue looked tired, Da Bao told her to go ask the little bear cub for some grilled fish. All the animals in the space were intelligent, but when it came to intelligence, the little bear cub was the smartest.
As for why the bear cub would grill fish? It's simply because it's greedy.
Zuo Mingyue was also a little hungry. She smiled, took a few steamed buns, and left the courtyard.
Da Bao picked up a sketchbook. He was going to draw the Japanese woman from memory. This skill was no problem for him. For a master sculptor, sketching was the most basic skill.
After drawing more than a dozen pictures, Zuo Mingyue returned, holding a grilled fish in her hand. Da Bao quickly ate the fish from her hand. Strangely enough, the little bear cub's grilled fish was even better than Da Bao's, especially the seasoning, which was sprinkled very evenly.
Da Bao told Zuo Mingyue his plan, and Zuo Mingyue looked at Cuicui and said.
"How should we tell Uncle about Cui Cui's injury? Should we reveal the secret of the space?"
Da Bao shook his head. The more people who knew this secret, the greater the risk of it being leaked. Wenwen and Niu Niu were still children, and even if they told others, no one would believe them.
Cui Cui is currently unconscious. Once she recovers from her injuries, she will also have to leave the space. It's not that Da Bao doesn't trust his family, but this secret is too heavy for him to bear.
“Tell your uncle that I’m taking you to Licheng for the New Year these next few days, and he won’t suspect anything.”
……
Da Bao was trying to figure out how to find the woman when he didn't expect her to have already arrived in the square. She stood at the back of the crowd, looking like an innocent young girl watching the excitement.
It has to be said that this "blind spot" approach was indeed very effective. Even Da Bao guessed that she was going to seek help in remote and impoverished areas, but unexpectedly, she went the opposite way and came to the place with the most people.
The woman's Chinese wasn't very good; it was somewhat halting, so she tried to remain silent. Whenever someone greeted her, she would simply smile and nod.
Her name is Fujiwara Shizuka, the second daughter of the Fujiwara family, the most prominent family in Japan. Her older sister is already married to a prince, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will marry a descendant of a daimyo—a political marriage between equals.
Among the top aristocracy in Japan, clan consciousness is extremely strong. If a legitimate daughter wants to marry a commoner, it is wishful thinking. In Japan, there is no Cinderella and prince story.
This Fujiwara Shizuka, although she is only 1.47 meters tall, has ambitions that are 2.86 meters high. She is not content to be a marriage partner, to contribute to the family, and to live out her life as a wife and mother.
Her dream is to become the first female prime minister of Japan. To this end, she has gathered many ronin samurai and joined the Yamaguchi-gumi, the number one yakuza group in Japan. She is now the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi.
She's the third-in-command in the group, in charge of the execution department. Her risky infiltration of Taiwan this time was to obtain gold; the fleeing army of yesteryear had taken almost all of the country's gold reserves.
Moreover, those high-ranking officials also plundered the wealthy on a massive scale, seizing an astonishing amount of wealth. In particular, Mao Rengui, the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau at the time, used his power to confiscate property, exterminate entire families, and seize five tons of gold.
However, none of this gold was transported to Taiwan. Instead, it was hidden in a mysterious place. The treasure map was kept in a safe deposit box at HSBC Bank in Hong Kong.
Ten days ago, Mao Rengui suddenly fell ill and died despite all efforts to save him. Before his death, he entrusted this secret to his son, Mao Jing. Mao Rengui, a cunning and calculating man, never imagined that the closest servant to his son was actually a Japanese spy.
This Japanese spy wasn't affiliated with either the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Home Affairs; he was a servant in the Fujiwara family. He risked his life to transmit this intelligence back to Japan.
After the war, both the Fujiwara family and the Yamaguchi-gumi faced financial difficulties and urgently needed funds. Upon learning this, the Fujiwara family considered sending someone to Taiwan to obtain the HSBC bank safe deposit box combination from Mao Jing.
This was no easy task, and everyone was stumped. Using force to kidnap someone was definitely not a good idea. Mao Rengui had been a secret service chief his whole life; wouldn't he care about the safety of his family?
Even if he dies, the subordinates he promoted are still around. It's impossible for people's hearts to change so quickly in just ten or eight days, so a direct attack is impossible; we can only outsmart them.
The head of the Fujiwara family convened a meeting and announced publicly that whoever, regardless of gender, was a direct descendant of the Fujiwara family and brought the gold back would be the next head of the family.
Fujiwara Shizuka volunteered, and with no one else responding, the head of the Fujiwara family agreed to let her go to Taiwan to uncover the secret. For the head of the Fujiwara family, the family's inheritance was the most important thing, and whoever had the ability should go, regardless of gender. If this gold could be unearthed and fall into the family's hands...
If the Fujiwara family can get orders from the Americans, then they will develop rapidly.
Fujiwara Shizuka prepared to set off with three subordinates. She planned to use her beauty to her advantage, believing that no man could resist her petite figure and charming face.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the group leader Ishihara found her again. Fujiwara Norika used all her skills to serve Ishihara all night. Only then did Ishihara tell her the truth: the Yamaguchi-gumi also wanted this gold and hoped that she would hand it over to the group after obtaining the password.
Fujiwara Shizuka then realized that one of her most trusted confidantes was a mole from her own clan. After much deliberation, she understood that the Yamaguchi-gumi was the Army's front man, with intelligence networks spanning across Asia. She made a request: she would hand over two tons of gold, but she needed the support of intelligence networks in Taiwan and China.
After much deliberation, Team Leader Ishihara realized that if he pushed Fujiwara Shizuka too hard as the family heir, it would only lead to disaster. So he agreed to her request.
With the support of the Yamaguchi-gumi's intelligence, Fujiwara Shizuka's progress in Taiwan went very smoothly, and she finally became Mao Jing's new favorite. Don't think that Fujiwara Shizuka only has a beautiful face; in fact, she is a hypnosis master who returned from studying in Germany, and that is her real advantage.
Using a combination of drugs and hypnosis, Fujiwara Shizuka not only learned the HSBC bank safe deposit box combination from Mao Jing, but also discovered another secret: Mao Rengui not only possessed five tons of gold, but also had five million US dollars in a Swiss bank.
Swiss banks only require an account number and password to withdraw funds, which is a pleasant surprise...
