Chapter 462: 411 Fax

"Mr. Jiang, the chairman is currently in a meeting, please wait for a moment,"

After Miss Shi became the acting chairman, the original chairman’s secretary, Secretary Ma, naturally became her secretary as well.

Jiang Chen was directly invited into the chairman’s office.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Just plain water is fine."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Jiang Chen sat down on the sofa.

He had been to this office before, but since the change of its occupant, there hadn’t been a single alteration to the decor.

Perhaps it was a semblance of hope that her father would wake up soon.

Shi Zhenhua was no longer in Hancheng; he had moved to the Capital City and was admitted to the best hospital in the country.

Meng Meiling stayed by his side without leaving.

The heavy responsibility of Jin Hai was almost entirely on Shi Qianxi’s shoulders.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chen, who had become bored enough to refresh news on his phone, saw Miss Shi finally come in through the door.

"If you were in a meeting, why did you urgently ask me to come over?" Jiang Chen put down his phone.

"How would I have known you would arrive so quickly?"

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words, looking at her haggard appearance he didn’t quibble with her.

"What happened?"

A flash of anger crossed Shi Qianxi’s eyes as she sat down on the sofa.

"Sagan Nobuo is dead."

Jiang Chen was caught off guard and showed a look of astonishment.

"How is that possible? Wasn’t he under strict police surveillance? How did he die?"

"The medical examiner determined it was poisoning."

"Poisoning?" Jiang Chen was taken aback.

Because he was severely injured, Sagan Nobuo had been staying in the hospital for treatment these days but, as a major suspect, the police had placed him under high-level monitoring, with someone watching over him 24 hours a day. Normally, no one should have been able to even get close to him, let alone poison him.

"I didn’t expect these Dongying people to be so malicious, so cruel even to their own."

"It was the Dongying people who did it?"

"Who else could it have been?"

Shi Qianxi said with hatred, "The only ones who had contact with Sagan Nobuo were from the Dongying embassy, and the police couldn’t stop them. According to the autopsy results, it was Acacia poisoning. By the time the police realized something was wrong and called a doctor, his organs had already started to fail massively; there was no way to save him."

"Acacia?"

"Yes, the ’Acacia beans’ in ’Throughout the ages, counting on red beans, Filled with deep love you may not know.’"

"That thing is poisonous?" Jiang Chen was surprised.

Shi Qianxi said somberly, "I didn’t know either before. According to the doctor, the toxicity of this stuff is no less than that of agricultural pesticides like arsenic; once ingested in excessive amounts, not even a god can save you."

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.

No wonder the ancients said, ’Among the three thousand woes of life, aging and sickness one might endure, but lovesickness forever remains without cure.’

"...So what do we do now?"

"What can we do?"

A mix of anger and helplessness intertwined on Shi Qianxi’s face.

Jiang Chen also quickly realized that the most likely outcome for this matter was that it would simply fade away.

The man was already dead.

Death without testimony.

Without absolute evidence, Dongying could easily shrug it off with a claim of ignorance.

Once it escalated to the level of international relations,

A single spy, insignificant in the grand scheme.

Officially, it was improbable to jeopardize relations between two countries over an agent like Sagan Nobuo.

A simple and brutal silencing.

But you are powerless to change it.

"Before he died, did he divulge any useful information?" Jiang Chen asked.

Shi Qianxi shook her head.

Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised.

It was obvious.

If Sagan Nobuo wasn’t prepared to cooperate voluntarily, it was impossible for him to die so silently.

Expecting such a person, willing to die on his own terms, to speak up was nothing short of wishful thinking.

"I’ve already started preparing to conduct background checks on department managers and above, starting from headquarters. If any Dongying people are found, they will be immediately dismissed,"

Miss Shi quite aptly illustrated what it means to be ’once bitten, twice shy.’

With Sagan Nobuo’s death, she could only resort to such a foolish method, no matter how time-consuming and laborious it was.

For a large corporation like Jin Hai, with a diverse staff, there could be people from any country, and not every Dongying person was necessarily a spy like Qiu Zhaobin.

But Jiang Chen was also aware that at this moment, the lady’s mentality was probably that she would rather wrongfully kill a thousand than let one go.

"Right."

Shi Qianxi suddenly stood up, walked over to the desk, picked up a piece of paper from the desk, and then walked back.

"Take a look."

She handed the paper to Jiang Chen.

"What’s this?"

Jiang Chen took it and looked down to see two similarly shaped flowers printed on the paper.

"These were faxed to me by the police this morning. They’re the tattoos found on the bodies of Meiko and Sagan Nobuo."

Shi Qianxi sat back down.

Tattoos?

Jiang Chen examined them carefully.

"They look a bit like the cherry blossoms that are the national flower of Dongying, but they seem a little different." After receiving the fax, she had studied it for quite a while but hadn’t been able to make sense of it.

Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed, and he said with slight hesitation, "I think I’ve seen this pattern before."

"You’ve seen it?"

Shi Qianxi was surprised.

Although many people have the habit of getting tattoos, it should be more than just a coincidence that two spies like Sagan Nobuo and Meiko had such similar markings on their bodies.

"Where have you seen it?"

Shi Qianxi asked eagerly.

Jiang Chen raised his head.

"On a teacher at our school."

That’s right.

Even if it was just a fleeting glimpse at the time, the tattoo on Koda Kaoru’s lower back indeed bore a strong resemblance to the two patterns on the paper.

"A teacher at the Capital University?"

Shi Qianxi was caught off guard.

"Hmm."

Jiang Chen put down the printout.

The last time Luo Peng and Koda Kaoru had a "date," it seemed to be at the Peninsula Izakaya.

As a result, Luo Peng ended up unconscious from drinking, and it was Jiang Chen who had to carry him.

Adding to that were the times Koda Kaoru appeared and left.

All of this, could it really just be a coincidence?

"Where is that teacher now?"

Shi Qianxi asked seriously.

No matter whether it was a misunderstanding, bringing the person in for questioning would make things clear.

"She has already resigned and left the school."

"Gone where?"

Jiang Chen looked at her, "She went back to her country."

"..."

Shi Qianxi suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Chen thought about reaching for his cell phone to ask around, but then he remembered Luo Peng saying that the other party’s number was no longer reachable.

"Since the person has already left, let’s not think about it for now."

Shi Qianxi exhaled.

"There’s another thing. I need to make a trip to Hancheng."

"Hmm."

Jiang Chen replied absentmindedly.

Shi Qianxi looked at him and added, "You’re coming with me."

Jiang Chen’s attention snapped back, puzzled, "What for?"

"I don’t have a single person I dare to trust by my side right now."

"..."

"I agreed to be the acting chairman because of what you said,"

Miss Shi continued.

Jiang Chen was momentarily at a loss for words.

"When?"

He rationally gave up on resisting.

"Tomorrow morning, I’ll send a car to pick you up from Capital University."

"No need."

Jiang Chen immediately said, "Which airport? We can just meet up at the airport."

"Why worry, Li Zhurui has seen me before."

"Li Shuru."

"Oh, Li Zhurui."
