The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 773: Chapter 749:

"It’s claimed as a means to find a solution, but it’s really just delaying time," the team leader had no way to know whether Ye Chen had already escaped, he being from the Hechuan Liu Family naturally understood the relationship between the Hechuan Liu Family and Ye Chen. To buy enough time for the Hechuan Liu Family, he quietly waited, hoping to let Ye Chen escape in time.

About half an hour later, the team leader had gone through half a pack of cigarettes and eventually issued the search order. The Iga Clan Leader hurried out to explain, but the team leader, after all, was on official duty, and both were from the Hechuan Liu Family; they cooperated with each other. The Iga Clan Leader said with a light smile, "Go ahead and search, as long as you can prove the innocence of our Hechuan Liu Family!"

"Iga Clan Leader, then we will be proceeding!" the team leader bowed.

"It’s okay, it’s service to the country, after all!" The Iga Clan Leader chuckled.

Subsequently, over a hundred people conducted an extensive search of the Hechuan Liu Family’s mansion. After more than two hours of searching, they ultimately found no traces of anything suspicious. The Hechuan Liu Family opened all their cellars and dungeons, fully cooperating with the Self-Defense Force’s search.

In the end, they couldn’t find a damn thing, and the Self-Defense Force left with their tails between their legs. The news reached the ears of Miyazaki Yama, who frowned and said, "Strange, why didn’t they find anything? Could it be it wasn’t the Hechuan Liu Family’s doing?"

"Hmph, it would be easy for the Hechuan Liu Family to send someone away!" an assistant snorted lightly.

"What do you mean?" Miyazaki Yama asked curiously.

"The Hechuan Liu Family is so influential, it’s easy for them to protect one or two people!" The assistant sighed and said, "Perhaps, during our search for the Black-clothed Man, the Hechuan Liu Family had already sent Ye Chen away!"

"Hmm, it’s not impossible!" Miyazaki Yama nodded.

"So, we should now give up the search. Maybe, by now, Ye Chen has already reached China!" The assistant smiled faintly.

"Damn it!" Miyazaki Yama suddenly became furious, every time watching Ye Chen slip away right under his nose — the last time when Ye Chen was being escorted to court for trial, he was intercepted along the way, and so many soldiers were killed. Now, just as they had finally located Ye Chen, this guy had escaped once again.

Just as Miyazaki Yama was about to erupt in anger, a phone call came in. The assistant answered the call, then respectfully said, "Hi, Prime Minister, I’ll pass the phone to the Minister!"

Once Miyazaki Yama heard this, he roughly understood it was a call from Noda. He took a deep breath to steady his emotions and then took the call. Noda instructed Miyazaki Yama to come to his office to discuss some matters. Miyazaki Yama nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Miyazaki Yama immediately headed for the Kyoto office.

Upon arriving at Prime Minister Noda’s office, there was already a gathering of some individuals, all bigwigs from within the Kyoto office: the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Finance... and other important figures. When Miyazaki Yama entered the office, everyone stood up to greet him — after all, they were colleagues, and their statuses were all very special.

"Mr. Noda, what did you want to see me about?" Miyazaki Yama asked curiously.

"Hehe, come, sit down first!" Noda immediately beckoned Miyazaki Yama to sit down.

Miyazaki Yama sat next to the Minister of Defense and greeted him amiably. After Miyazaki Yama sat down, Noda finally began to speak. Noda was a middle-aged man with a round face, and his voice was quite amiable. He scanned the room and said, "Gentlemen, now that everyone is here, I’ll make it short!"

Prime Minister Noda immediately began speaking, initially about matters involving Japan’s internals like the economy, politics, and residents’ lifestyle... a series of routine matters. Then he turned the discussion over to the ministers, with certain aspects requiring reform and others needing gradual correction. After more than an hour of contention, the meeting seemed to slowly draw to a close.

Just as it was about to end, Noda suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Next, there’s an important matter — of course, first I must declare, this has nothing to do with national affairs; it’s just for us here to discuss!"

"Prime Minister, what is it exactly?" the Minister of Finance asked curiously.

The Minister of Finance was too sensitive. No matter what, he was always on high alert, fearing that everyone would come to him for money. It was excruciating for him, especially now that Japan’s economy was so tense and he was managing a country’s coffers. If he were not careful, he feared the pot would shatter, and he would become a failed minister, ridiculed by future generations for breaking their financial backbone.

"Heh, rest assured, it’s not about asking you for money!" Mr. Noda chuckled. Upon hearing this, everyone immediately burst into laughter. Miyazaki Yama chided the Minister of Finance, "You, always so afraid of people asking you for money. After all, the money in your pocket is the nation’s, not your own. Why do you guard it so tightly?"

"Ah, you really are a layman!" The Minister of Finance glared at Miyazaki Yama and said, "As the Minister of Finance, I’m guarding a nation’s wealth. Do you think I should squander it wantonly? Even for you all, that wouldn’t be acceptable. Let me tell you. Getting even one yuan from me would require you to submit an effective proposal. There must be oversight for these funds, and taxpayers’ money absolutely cannot fall into the pockets of parasites!"

"Hmm, well said!" Mr. Noda nodded in agreement and said, "As the ruling party, we must elevate our own quality. We cannot leave an image of corrupt officials behind; otherwise, such a party will not last long. However, what I want to discuss today is unrelated."

"Then... what does the Prime Minister wish to discuss?" The Minister of Finance asked curiously.

"Well, today’s topic is a private matter, just something for everyone to hear," Mr. Noda said with a smile. "Has anyone heard of the Church Court?"

Upon hearing Mr. Noda’s words, everyone was momentarily taken aback. The Church Court? Who wouldn’t know about it? Especially high-ranking officials like them were bound to know, even figures like Xiong Tai had heard about it, so naturally, they had some knowledge. Seizing the moment as everyone was stunned, Mr. Noda immediately divulged, "The Church Court intends to collaborate with us!"

"No way, how can we join hands with the Church Court?"

"That’s right. Obama had harshly criticized the Church Court. If we work together with them, wouldn’t that be the same as telling Obama we’re opposing you?"

...

As soon as the ministers heard about collaborating with the Church Court, they all rebelled for no other reason than the US Government’s opposition to it. So they felt obliged to stand with the American people. Mr. Noda crossed his arms and watched as the ministers in the conference room were torn in their discussions. Of course, some supported Mr. Noda, such as Miyazaki Yama, who was the first to stand up and back him.

"What’s wrong with the Church Court?" Miyazaki Yama stood up coolly and said, "I think the Church Court is great. At least, one of its main goals is to target the Rothschild family, aiming to kill Ye Chen. I’m all for it. The Church Court controls two major Hidden Families, and I believe that in the future, we will no longer be subject to the Rothschilds family’s threats. By allying with the Church Court, we can strengthen ourselves. The Americans might not be able to handle the Church Court, so I believe siding with them means no one will call us ’American dogs’ anymore!"

Miyazaki Yama’s speech left everyone stunned. They all turned to look at Mr. Noda. Prime Minister Noda smiled faintly and said, "The Minister of Defense is quite right. I think so too!"

"But how can we explain ourselves to the Americans?" they asked, utterly astounded.

"Do we need to explain?" Mr. Noda, with a sly smile, said, "Our initial cooperation will be covert. Once we gain significant benefits from the Church Court, I believe we won’t need to fear the United States. Besides, the US is now unable to extricate itself from its crisis; how could it come after us?"

...

In Kyoto City, Mr. Noda and his ministers were discussing how to collaborate with the Church Court. Meanwhile, in a mansion in Tokyo, a red-clothed woman stood by a floor-to-ceiling window, her beautiful eyes gazing at the bustling city outside, while a white-clothed girl beside her glanced around with agile eyes. She looked at the red-clothed woman and asked, "Sister, why have you been standing there for half an hour?"

"I can’t feel his presence in this city," sighed the red-clothed woman, then took soft steps to sit down on the plush sofa next to her, saying, "But, I can sense the aura he has left in this city."

"Sister, have you fallen in love with him?" the white-clothed girl asked curiously.

"Child, what do you know about love?" the red-clothed woman glanced at her.

"Of course, I know!" the white-clothed girl giggled, "Like you, Sister, lost in thought over him every day, definitely smitten, otherwise why would you lose your appetite over him? Hee hee, I say, Sister, just tie him up and then you can watch him every day!"

"Humph, child, always spouting nonsense!" the red-clothed woman snorted lightly, then stood up from the sofa and said, "I wonder if this trip to Japan will go smoothly. Do you think the Japanese will agree to collaborate with us?"

"It doesn’t matter if they agree or not, Grandma said we must be unscrupulous!" the white-clothed girl suddenly revealed her sharpness, "If they don’t agree, then we’ll make them agree. They’d better behave and obey; otherwise, I wouldn’t mind taking a few more lives!"
