Chapter 761 Meet Him

The same night.

Tokyo, on the top floor of a building.

A woman in a black dress is overlooking the night view of Tokyo. The lights of thousands of high-rise buildings are reflected in her eyes. This woman is standing there quietly, and no one knows what she is thinking at this moment.

Suddenly, there were several knocks on the door.

From the amplitude and volume of the knock on the door, it was clear that the person outside was extremely afraid of this woman's identity.

"Come in." The woman arrived.

The door handle turned and opened.

A middle-aged man walked into the room. He was Ueno, a capable man under Eriko. A former senior executive of the Tokyo Central Bank and also a member of the original industry faction. In the previous bank purge, he was convicted and imprisoned for illegal loan issuance. Later, he followed Eriko to run an underground industry.

It can be said that Ueno is the prime minister of Eriko's underground industrial empire.

Ueno's steps became hurried:

"The latest situation! Shirai has been suspended. I don't know why, but I know something seemed to have happened at the bank's board meeting that day."

Ueno was very anxious. He was a person who had a morbid pursuit of strict implementation of plans. According to Eriko's previous plan, after this board meeting, Shirai should become the official president. The Tokyo Central Bank will once again become the world of the industrial group.

However, the expected situation has not occurred.

Shirai, whom he and Eriko had spent so much effort to support, was suspended after the board meeting.

Ueno had no idea what had happened at the board meeting that day that led to such a sudden turn of events.

"I understand." The woman said lightly.

The woman's reaction was extremely flat.

It seemed like he didn't care at all about what Ueno said.

Ueno swallowed and continued, "Besides, Nakano is back. The Financial Services Agency didn't conduct a thorough investigation into the Fukuba Real Estate incident!"

This former bank employee, a member of the original industrial faction, certainly did not want to see this scene at this time. However, he had no idea why things had changed so drastically. Originally, everything was running normally on track, and they were about to succeed completely, but now they suddenly failed.

"What on earth happened?!" Ueno couldn't help but ask again.

The woman continued to gaze calmly at the night view of Tokyo outside the window.

"Board of directors, who are attending?" her voice rang out.

"In addition to the regular staff, there are also the Deputy Director of the Second Sales Department, Naoki Hanzawa, and Member of Parliament Narita," said Ueno.

"Could it be that Hanzawa?!" Ueno suddenly realized, "He has been ordered to investigate the Yoshizawa Trust case. Could it be that he really got to the bottom of it and might have found us? So, Shirai was suspended?!"

"But this is not right!" Ueno continued, "Hanzawa was already led to investigate the Fukumoto Real Estate case. He fell into our trap. Why did he suddenly come to his senses?!"

The woman still didn't speak.

Here she stands.

It was as if what Ueno said was not a big deal at all.

"Could it be Congressman Narita?!" Ueno seemed to be asking and answering himself, hoping to attract the woman's attention, "Could it be that Congressman Narita interfered with the board of directors?! Such a sudden 180-degree turn, I'm afraid only Congressman Narita could have intervened!"

The words fell.

The woman looked out the window and said calmly:

"Are you sure you didn't miss anyone on the board?"

Ueno was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the woman in front of him to say that. He immediately began to think hard. Who could attend the board meeting? Aren't they just directors, shareholder representatives, and the usual candidates? Who else could it be?

Wait, now it seems that I really missed someone.

Ueno heard that a lawyer had attended the board meeting. No... Could it be this lawyer?!

Ueno couldn't believe it in his heart.

Then he said, “It seems that there is a lawyer who is also involved in the board of directors.”

"What's your name?" the woman asked immediately.

This formed a stark contrast to his previous cold attitude.

Ueno couldn't believe the reaction of the woman in front of him. She was so concerned about the actions of a lawyer. Could a lawyer really have such great power to cause such a situation? !

"Okay...I think his name is Kitahara."

The woman nodded, rarely, to show that she understood.

"Is this...this lawyer Kitahara really that important?" Ueno became confused.

“He is very important,” the woman said. “I have read all his information.”

"Why, what's so special about him?"

“He must be coming towards me,” the woman said.

Ueno was a little bit unbelievable. A lawyer was coming for the woman in front of him.

That must be crazy!

Only the craziest lunatic in the world would want to mess with the woman in front of him.

"Oh, right!" Ueno continued, "We received a message from Shirai. He wants to meet you recently. We also think it would be a good idea to meet. Such a big thing has happened at the Tokyo Central Bank, and we need to get a detailed understanding of the situation from Shirai. Let's see what happened at the board meeting that day."

"If there is no problem, let's meet at the same place in three days," said Ueno.

"How do you know it was Shirai who sent the message?" the woman said suddenly.

Ueno was shocked when he heard the woman say that. If it wasn't sent by Shirai, then who else could have sent it?! If it was sent by someone else, wouldn't that mean that all our connections with Shirai were exposed?!

"Anwen is correct," Ueno said. "I understand that meeting Shirai now is of course risky. But we can make appropriate arrangements to help Shirai avoid possible tracking."

"Not Shirai," the woman said.

She once again rejected Ueno's point of view.

Ueno was also stunned for a moment.

The woman in front of him emphasized to him twice that this was not a message from Shirai.

Why can women be so confident?

However, as he said, if it weren't for Shirai, all of his forces would have been exposed.

If it wasn't Shirai, that would mean the meeting was a trap.

"Understood, I will cut off contact with Shirai as soon as possible." Ueno said. He decided to completely cut off any contact channels with Shirai to prevent any accidents.

"But I will go to see you." said the woman's voice.

Ueno was completely confused by the woman's attitude. "If it wasn't a text message from Shirai, then this meeting must be a trap. Why did you go? The sender of this text message could be the Financial Services Agency or the police. If you go to meet, the risk is too high!!"

"I know who it is."

"Who is it?!" Ueno asked.

"It's him." A woman's voice sounded.
