Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 624 What are we going to Japan for?

But Gao Shiwei was genuinely worried about Jiang Nian as he kept bringing things back.

"It's nothing, just some extra income. I'm going to Japan soon, so you can arrange for someone to meet me there."

Jiang Nian naturally didn't care about Gao Shiwei's concerns. He was a man of principle. The things Gao Shiwei worried about were nothing to Jiang Nian.

What are you going to Japan for?

When Jiang Nian mentioned going to the Cherry Blossom Country, Gao Shiwei subconsciously assumed that Jiang Nian's current organization had sent him on a mission.

“I received information that Japan is plotting something behind the scenes. I plan to go and investigate. Moreover, once Japan gets its hands on this batch of weapons, they will find that they are useless. As long as they continue to plot against China, they will inevitably have to buy more weapons. At that time, I will squeeze another sum out of them.”

Jiang Nian said a few words briefly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Shiwei didn't know what else to say.

He knew that Jiang Nian had her own ideas. And he obviously couldn't stop Jiang Nian from doing these things.

"Thanks a lot."

In the end, all the words I wanted to say were summed up in this one sentence.

"Alright, boss, stop reminiscing. I have things to do, I'll hang up now."

Seeing that Gao Shiwei's eyes were red, Jiang Nian didn't want to coax an old leader, so she decisively hung up the phone.

Early in the morning, Zhou Zhou appeared at Jiang Nian's room door with three other people.

"Mr. Jiang Nian, we've arrived."

After pressing the doorbell, Zhou Zhou spoke first.

Jiang Nian hadn't expected Dark Eagle to send Zhou Zhou directly. But then he thought about it, and Zhou Zhou was an old acquaintance, so he would be very convenient to use.

"Get ready, we're going to Japan in a week!"

Jiang Nian did not let Zhou Zhou and the others into his room. He calmly walked out of the room, stood in front of them, and said with a serious expression.

"???"

Zhou Zhou, along with the other three, looked completely bewildered, unable to understand why Jiang Nian would suddenly want to go to Japan.

"Mr. Jiang Nian, is there some mission you need to carry out in Japan?"

Since he was closest to Jiang Nian, Zhou Zhou had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.

Zhou Zhou hadn't heard Dark Eagle mention going on a mission to Japan lately.

"We're arms dealers, so naturally we're going to Japan to sell weapons. Have your people in Japan keep a close eye on things; as long as someone wants weapons, we can make a deal!"

Jiang Nian looked at Zhou Zhou with a disappointed expression. He thought, Zhou Zhou was quite smart back in the border town, so why had he become so dull-witted here? Could it be that the food at the base was making people stupid?

Feeling the speechless look in Jiang Nian's eyes, Zhou Zhou didn't know how to react in a way that wouldn't make him seem clumsy.

"Mr. Jiang Nian, are you planning to do business with the Japanese military?" Zhou Zhou wasn't stupid after all, and he quickly understood after Jiang Nian's explanation, but he was still a little confused.

Previously, Japan had purchased a large quantity of weapons from them. Although Japan didn't know that King of Domination and Shadow were the same organization, how could someone who had just bought so much weaponry possibly buy more?

Zhou Zhou knew that the batch of weapons that Japan bought had fallen into the sea, but Japan still spent a lot of money to get the necessary permits from China and salvage the weapons.

If that's the case, then Japan did obtain that batch of weapons. So why is Jiang Nian so certain that Japan will buy more weapons?

Zhou Zhou has more contact with the Japanese.

He knew perfectly well that Japan had suspended its series of conspiracies against China. Therefore, there was no need for so much weaponry. At the very least, the Japanese military's own arsenals produced enough weaponry.

Unless—unless there's something wrong with the batch of weapons Japan bought!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou almost abruptly looked up at Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian couldn't possibly have known the future, unless something went wrong with this batch of weapons, in which case Jiang Nian would have been behind it!

From the very beginning, Jiang Nian had planned all of this!

If it weren't for the accidental discovery of the Shadow Organization, Jiang Nian would probably have already taken action against the Japanese side.

"Zhou Zhou, why are you looking at me like that? We'll be heading to the Land of Cherry Blossoms in three days. At the same time, you need to spread the word about Bharata's two transactions internationally!"

Seeing the astonishment on Zhou Zhou's face, Jiang Nian suddenly laughed.

He knew that Zhou Zhou had figured everything out. But what could he do even if he did? Dark Eagle had already delegated power to him, so even if Zhou Zhou had his own ideas, he wouldn't dare to scheme against him.

Zhou Zhou was speechless.

He knew that Jiang Nian was now in a leadership position, while he was just a subordinate.

Jiang Nian's status was already quite special after joining the organization. Now, even Dark Eagle, who had always disliked Jiang Nian, has chosen to back down. For some reason, Zhou Zhou had a feeling that the three leaders in the organization would soon be replaced.

Who will Jiang Nian replace and truly rise to power?

Nobody knows until the results are in.

"Yes, I understand. I'll arrange it right away!"

In the end, Zhou Zhou only said this one sentence.

Everyone else just followed Zhou Zhou. Jiang Nian assigned the task, and Zhou Zhou agreed; all they had to do was follow along and carry it out.

Zhou Zhou and his men left.

Jiang Nian stood at the doorway of the room, watching Zhou Zhou and the others walk away.

Jiang Nian waited until he could no longer see anyone before turning around. He didn't go into his room, but went to An Yang's place instead.

An Yang was sitting with An Ye at that moment.

They had already read the report in their hands.

He recognized every single word, but when they were put together to form a sentence, he felt his brain wasn't working properly and he couldn't understand it.

"This sniper rifle shows no signs of modification, yet its performance has been improved by at least 30%. Are these figures really accurate?"

He gently rubbed his temples and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with this report. You've already called several people from the lab over and asked them several times; there's no way it could be wrong."

Faced with An Ye's extremely hoarse and even somewhat confused question, An Yang sighed softly before explaining helplessly. Previously, when they saw the report, neither he nor An Ye had taken it seriously. After all, An Yi had personally taken the sniper rifle; even if Jiang Nian had modified it, it wouldn't be a major alteration. How much could it possibly change?

However, after carefully reading the examination report, An Yang felt a sudden jolt of surprise.

Dark Hawk's intuition was truly exceptionally accurate—this sniper rifle underwent a qualitative change in Jiang Nian's hands.

If An Yang hadn't spoken with the lab staff individually, he wouldn't have believed such a report was real.

How could the performance of a sniper rifle that hasn't undergone any modifications suddenly improve?

Jiang Nian is truly terrifying!

In an instant, this thought flashed through An Yang's mind.

What a person fears most is not being able to see through another. And Jiang Nian, even standing right in front of them, they still couldn't see through him.

They thought they had torn off one layer of the other's outer garment, but they found that the other was still wearing countless layers underneath, which they could never completely remove.

"Should we still keep Jiang Nian in the organization?"

After a long silence, An Ye spoke again. This time, however, his tone was full of solemnity.

He began to wonder if it was a mistake to have targeted Jiang Nian in the first place.

Is such a mysterious and unpredictable person really someone they can control?

"Heh, do you think we dare to let Jiang Nian leave like this?"

An Yang suddenly sneered at An Ye's question.

He did want Jiang Nian to leave, but unfortunately, Jiang Nian already knew the exact location of their base. Even if the Chinese side couldn't pinpoint the location for the time being, with Jiang Nian there, as long as Jiang Nian returned to China, it probably wouldn't be long before they found this place.

What if Jiang Nian were to make a move and try to wipe out the entire organization? Would they really be able to escape?

"As the three leaders of the organization, I always thought that no one was out of our control. But now that I've met Jiang Nian, I've realized that he is really unfathomable. We can't see through him, and we can't control him."

The darkness didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

They've always been the ones in control. This time, although Jiang Nian hasn't made any other moves yet, Dark Night already has a feeling—it won't be long before they're under Jiang Nian's control.

"One wrong step can lead to eternal regret. At least for now, Jiang Nian has no intention of leaving the base. Let him do what he wants, without restricting his actions. When Jiang Nian was in Bharata, his decision to sell weapons to anti-government forces was definitely not just about making money. As a soldier of China, everything Jiang Nian thinks and does is for China. Staying in the organization will give him another identity on the international stage, making his actions much easier."

An Yang finally said this.

He had no other choice. All he could say was, let Jiang Nian do whatever he wanted; they dared not, and could not, interfere.

"What about Dark Eagle? I've noticed a bit of tension between him and Jiang Nian. If he knew we were giving Jiang Nian so much authority, I'm afraid he'd cause a scene."

An Ye had no objection to An Yang's arrangement, but he still thought of something else. An Ying and Jiang Nian had always been at odds; if An Ying knew that Jiang Nian wielded so much power, would he be dissatisfied?

Appeasing Dark Hawk is no easy task.

"Dark Eagle's injury this time is probably related to Jiang Nian. He probably won't go looking for trouble with Jiang Nian for the time being."

An Yang said slowly.

He had already learned the specifics of Dark Eagle from Shen Feng. Within this organization, An Yang couldn't think of anyone other than Jiang Nian who could evade all surveillance and attack Dark Eagle.

An Yang and An Ye finally reached a consensus.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Upon turning on the monitor, An Yang and An Ye simultaneously saw Jiang Nian standing at the door.

Why would Jiang Nian come looking for him (An Yang) at this time?

The same question flashed through the minds of An Yang and An Ye at the same time.

Finally, after hesitating for a moment, An Yang opened the door.

"Jiang Nian, what brings you here at this hour?"

After Jiang Nian walked in, An Yang spoke first.

An Ye's gaze also fell on Jiang Nian, full of scrutiny.

"Have you been doing anything lately?"

Jiang Nian naturally noticed An Ye's gaze on him, but he didn't look at An Ye. Instead, he asked An Yang very seriously.

Anyway, An Yang was her boss, and Jiang Nian didn't care about anyone else. As long as An Ye didn't bother her, Jiang Nian would just ignore him.

As for the report that An Yang and An Ye had placed on the table, Jiang Nian already knew its contents, but he did not intend to explain anything.

"Your revised drawings are perfect. There's really nothing I need you to do lately. So, do you have any ideas of your own?"

Although Jiang Nian wasn't previously confined to the base, the base's location on the sea made travel inconvenient, so unless there was a specific reason, An Yang wouldn't allow Jiang Nian to leave the base.

"Here's the thing, I'm planning to go to Japan in three days. Could you help me make the arrangements?"

Jiang Nian said casually.

Since I'm not in any trouble and I'm not a criminal or anything, I figure I can go do something else without anyone objecting.

"You're going to Japan? What are you going there for at this time of year?"

An Yang was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Jiang Nian would say he wanted to leave the base and go to Japan.

Although China and Japan appear to be on good terms, those who truly understand both countries know that the animosity between them runs deep.

Moreover, Japan has always closely followed the US and acted as its henchman, having previously researched numerous conspiracies targeting China.

Jiang Nian wouldn't go to Japan for no reason.

An Yang racked his brains, trying to recall if there had been any open conflicts between China and Japan recently. Could it be that China was going to send Jiang Nian to Japan on some mission?

"I recently learned divination, and I just did a quick divination. I found out that Japan needs to buy weapons again. Our operation in Bharata has been publicized, and there must be many forces or countries in the international community that want to do business with us. Isn't it profitable to do business with anyone? So I plan to take a trip to Japan, sell them some weapons, and make a fortune."

Jiang Nian had anticipated that An Yang would ask for the reason, so he explained it directly.

Selling arms to Japan?

As soon as Jiang Nian finished speaking, both An Yang and An Ye wore expressions that were hard to describe.

The money earned from the arms deal between Wang Ba and Japan was taken by Jiang Nian and delivered to the Chinese military.

Dark Ocean and Dark Night knew that the final batch of weapons ended up in Chinese and international waters. This entire operation was orchestrated by Jiang Nian. (End of Chapter)
