Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Takeda's military rank was major. He used to be a colleague of Tasaki Genichirō. They worked under the same boss and had a good relationship.

Just because of family reasons, Takeda was promoted faster. However, even though the two now have different military ranks, they have not become estranged because of their military ranks.

When Takeda learned about Tasaki Genichirō's fishing operation, he readily agreed. He also wanted to take this opportunity to investigate in Nanjing whether there were any spies in the puppet military government.

Takeda bowed gently to Gu Xiaoman and Li Ningyu with a smile, and said in an authentic colonel accent, "This time, I will rely heavily on you two ladies to crack the ciphertext."

Gu Xiaoman took out a cigarette and took a puff. "The ciphertext is not that easy to crack. Without the code book, it would be a pipe dream to crack it."

"Everything depends on human efforts. I believe that with the participation of Miss Gu and Miss Li, the secret code can be successfully deciphered this time." Takeda Kyoko said.

"Then..." Gu Xiaoman raised her chin and pointed at Wu Zhiguo, "Then what is he here for?"

"Captain Wu is here to protect you two. After all, although the Magic City is a prosperous place, it is also chaotic. There are all kinds of people. With Captain Wu's protection, I think it will be safer."

Gu Xiaoman held the cigarette, looked at Wu Zhiguo and then rolled her eyes, "Can we change people?"

"Well." Takeda continued with a fake smile, "I'm afraid it's not possible. It's almost the New Year and everyone has a mission. I really can't spare the right people to protect Miss Gu."

After taking another puff of his cigarette and extinguishing it in the trash can beside him, Gu Xiaoman said helplessly, "Then let's just make do with it, but."

Gu Xiaoman looked at Wu Zhiguo, "Deciphering the ciphertext requires absolute silence. I hope Captain Wu will not disturb Ning Yu and me at will."

Wu Zhiguo frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Gu Xiaoman nodded gently. Wu Zhiguo's attitude was within his expectations.

She picked up the empty cigarette box and threw it into the trash can. She fiddled with the lighter in her hand and looked at Wu Zhiguo, "I'm out of cigarettes. Go buy me a pack."

Wu Zhiguo's face darkened again and he wanted to get angry.

But before Wu Zhiguo could speak, Takeda spoke first, "This is a secret mission. Anyone who enters this hotel cannot leave at will."

As soon as these words came out, the brows of the other three people present all frowned at the same time.

"So when can we go out?"

"After deciphering the code, we can get out in one more day."

"Without the code book, who knows when it can be cracked. If it can't be cracked in a month, then won't we have to stay here for a month?"

"It won't take that long. If we still can't decipher it in three days, then we'll consider this mission a failure. I won't keep you here. The Imperial Army's military budget is also very tight and we can't afford such a hassle."

Takeda continued to speak politely, but his smile was chilling.

"What if I lose my eyes?"

"Miss Gu, you can ask the waiter. This hotel has most of the brands of cigarettes in Shanghai."

"Today is the 30th! There is only one day left until New Year." Li Ningyu said in a low voice, as if reminding Takeda.

"I have certainly considered this. I will be there tomorrow and will be with you all to welcome the New Year." (End of this chapter)
