Chapter 411: Operation 372 Decapitation_2

"Are you sure?"

A lazy voice rang out, its simple intonation enough to stir one’s heartstrings.

"Pretty sure."

"Then is Jiuding’s cooperation with Jinhai beneficial or harmful to us?"

The woman continued to ask.

For a moment, no one answered.

"Qing Ye, you have lived in Shenzhou all this time; give us your opinion."

The woman’s gaze fell on Qiu Zhaobin.

Qiu Zhaobin lifted his head, hesitated for a long time, and then, bracing himself, said, "It’s a mix of both."

"What are the benefits? And the disadvantages?"

The woman, whose eyes and brows oozed a rich allure, casually rested her elbow on the low table, propped up her chin, revealing her curves, and was full of charm. Yet, Qiu Zhaobin dared not look directly at her.

"The benefit is that if we collaborate with Jiuding, Jinhai can enter this project smoothly, making it convenient for us to steal information. The disadvantage is that Jiuding is, after all, a leading super-corporation in Shenzhou. By cooperating with it, Jinhai will inevitably become a vassal, perhaps only getting some leftovers. At that time, it may be very difficult for us to steal core secrets."

"What was your initial plan?"

Qiu Zhaobin looked towards the manager of the izakaya.

Sagan Nobuo, who had been feigning ignorance the whole time, had to speak up.

"Adapt as the situation requires."

"Adapt as the situation requires."

The woman repeated to herself, "So now, how should we adapt?"

Qiu Zhaobin kept his head down, silent.

"Miss, I think we absolutely cannot let their cooperation succeed. Shenzhou’s military technology is nothing to speak of. The powerful Meilijian can crush them easily! Our most important task should be to disrupt their internal harmony, thereby hindering the economic development of Shenzhou."

Sagan Nobuo clenched his fists, speaking with emphasis and modulation.

"Well said."

The woman nodded.

"So how do we disrupt?"

Sagan Nobuo’s eyes flashed fiercely, making people’s hearts palpitate.

"The best way is a decapitation strike!"

"What do you mean?"

Qiu Zhaobin frowned at him.

"Our previous plans were too mild and too slow, so we never achieved the desired effect. There is an old saying in Shenzhou, ’One cannot catch the wolf without risking the sheep.’ Just imagine, if something were to happen to Shi Zhenhua at this critical moment..."

Qiu Zhaobin’s eyes wavered, and he couldn’t help but blurt out in reprimand, "You’re insane!"

Sagan Nobuo’s expression did not change, his face dark and sinister, meeting Qiu Zhaobin’s gaze unflinchingly.

"Qing Ye, don’t forget who you are. Even if you have lived here for many years, deep down, you are still one of us from the Great Dongying Empire. You may have been recognized by Jinhai’s top management and lead a very good life, but the blood flowing in your veins is the same as ours."

Qiu Zhaobin’s expression was as still as water.

"I have never forgotten that, and I have always cooperated faithfully with your plans. Do you know how much effort I have put into climbing to this position? Now you want to assassinate Shi Zhenhua, which would render my efforts futile!"

"Your efforts? Are you referring to that useless Director Meng? Qing Ye, don’t be naïve. As long as Shi Zhenhua is alive, he will never allow outsiders to touch Jinhai’s core power. Only if he is gone will your plan be possible. So, we are helping you."

"Nonsense!"

Qiu Zhaobin turned to the woman and lowered his head, "Miss, please give me a little more time, I beg of you!"

"More time? How much longer?"

Sagan Nobuo said coldly, "Until Shi Zhenhua dies of old age? Or until you die of old age? Qing Ye, have you become infatuated with your comfortable life and don’t want to give it up? Don’t forget, the life you are enjoying now was made possible by the sacrifices of countless others."

"Let’s not talk about others. Meiko, do you think you have lived up to her? Chen Zhou was the one you recommended to us, assessing that he was a corruptible subject. But what was the result? He’s a lunatic! He almost blew our cover and buried us all with him. Qing Ye, now that I think about it, I’m starting to wonder if you did it on purpose? If we died, you’d be free of bonds and could live carefree for a good while longer."

Qiu Zhaobin, with a sales background, was naturally never short of words, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but turn his head to the side, teeth clenched, and say, "No one is crazier than you! A decapitation strike? Do you know what would happen if it fails?"

"Then we just have to eliminate the possibility of failure. Shi Zhenhua will never expect someone to lay a hand on him. As long as we are fully prepared, it will surely be foolproof. Once he’s out of the picture, Qing Ye, you’ll have the stage to perform."

Regardless, Sagan Nobuo had one point that was indeed correct.

Having lived in Shenzhou for so long, day after day, Qiu Zhaobin’s personality had inevitably been influenced.

Of course.

His loyalty to the Great Dongying Empire might not have changed, but he undoubtedly became more "cautious" and unwilling to see events unfold that he could not control.

"Miss, I strongly disagree with this plan!"

"Miss, now is the perfect opportunity. Given Shi Zhenhua’s influence, if something were to happen to him, Shenzhou would certainly experience considerable unrest. At that time, forces with interests tied to Jinhai would all become suspects. If everyone began to doubt each other, the harmonious development of Shenzhou would surely be effectively disrupted. Isn’t that our goal?"

Sagan Nobuo stated every word clearly, but his eyes flickered with an almost mad intensity.

"Creak."

The wooden door creaked open.

Meiko walked in.

The woman yawned.

"I get your point, that’s enough, you can go out now, I’ll think it over."

"Yes!"

Both of them bowed simultaneously to take their leave, yet avoided eye contact with each other.

"Sit."

The woman said to Meiko.

"Miss."

Meiko knelt half-sitting on the floor.

"Are you and Jiang Chen close?"

The woman looked at her.

"Not really, just because I saved Princess Jin Hai before."

The woman of course knew about that incident.

"Didn’t you follow him for a while after that?"

Meiko nodded.

"Tell me what you think of him as a person."

Meiko didn’t ponder too much.

"He’s a very outstanding man."

"Outstanding? Why do you say that?"

Meiko bowed her head, "Miss, you were at the same school with him, so you should understand this better than I do."

The woman smiled.

"Indeed outstanding, but whether he’s worthy as a man is open to question."

A flicker of surprise crossed Meiko’s eyes.

"Miss hasn’t succeeded yet?"

The woman’s charming face betrayed a hint of indescribable embarrassment and annoyance.

Indeed.

Strike after strike, each time the cost was greater than the last; any other man would most likely have already become her submissive vassal by now, complying and at her beck and call.

But that young man, like a slippery loach, still showed no progress up to now.

The most infuriating part was, he hadn’t let any advantage he could gain slip by.

The woman, who had never doubted her allure to men, now felt an unprecedented sense of defeat for the first time.

Even under this unfamiliar sensation, it seemed that the main reason for her visit to Shenzhou was no longer quite that important.

Such is a woman.

Emotion always prevails over reason.

"Do you think I could succeed?"

She asked.

Meiko didn’t just flatter as expected but fell silent instead, her face, still painted with eerie makeup, was startlingly pale.

"Miss, this young man is different from the other men I’ve encountered. Mysterious, cautious, intelligent, and he possesses a level of maturity beyond the ordinary..."

"You could have just said you’re not sure instead of beating around the bush with so many words," the woman laughed.

Meiko lowered her head.

The woman propped up her chin and sighed.

"Do I really need to sleep with him to achieve this?"

Meiko looked up.

The woman mumbled to herself, shaking her head.

"He definitely wouldn’t pass up such an opportunity, but after sleeping together, he’d probably just pull up his trousers and leave. Wouldn’t I be at a complete loss then?"

However, thinking of all the advantages he had already taken, the woman’s face involuntarily revealed a resentful expression. She propped her chin on one hand while the other lay on the table, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the surface.

"If we’re really going for a beheading operation, might as well castrate him while we’re at it..."

She murmured under her breath.
