You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

At the same time, Tanaka Jiro also arrived at the Yamato Trading Company.

Matsumoto Sōji, Watanabe Inzan, and several key members are discussing how to sabotage the city of Saikyo.

They prepared their troops for battle formation.

The Nine Chrysanthemums School is most skilled in feng shui formations.

But they need to discuss the specifics of Bush's formation.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The group immediately stopped discussing.

Matsumoto Sōji called out towards the door, "Come in!"

Tanaka Jiro pushed open the door and walked in.

"How did the talks with Reina Wada go? Has she agreed to join the Yamato Trading Company?" Sōji Matsumoto asked.

"President, something's happened. I got some news from Tian Lina."

"What news?"

Tanaka Jiro licked his lips: "Tian Lina told me that Bureau 749 has obtained top-secret intelligence. Bureau 749 can confirm that we are an evil faction from Japan. In two days, they will prepare to wipe us out."

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Sōji and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Watanabe Inuma asked, "How did Lina Tian know?"

"Qin Ran told him secretly."

Du Bianyinzhen looked thoughtful after hearing this.

They originally intended to remain in hiding.

It seems there's no hope now.

We must come up with the appropriate solution.

Matsumoto Sōji breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't panic, it's all fake, it's a trap set by Qin Ran."

Everyone looked at Matsumoto Sōji.

"Are you sure?" Tanaka Jiro asked.

Matsumoto Soji sneered, "You're such a pig-brain! You can't even see through this little trick? Qin Ran has already told Tian Lina who we are, so why would she dare to meet with you?"

"After hearing a little bit of news from Qin Ran, the Chu family immediately stopped Chu Wan'er from seeing my son, and they also stopped considering cooperating with the Yamato Chamber of Commerce."

"Under normal circumstances, Tian Lina would avoid us like the plague after finding out, but she still dared to meet with you and discuss cooperation. This is clearly Qin Ran's doing."

"Qin Ran wants to pass this message to you through Tian Lina, causing panic within our ranks so that we'll give ourselves away."

"Besides, our background is top secret, and the people in Bureau 749 won't be able to find out. This is obviously a trap, so don't believe it."

After careful consideration, everyone agreed that Matsumoto Soji's words made sense.

Qin Ran is really cunning; he actually thought of setting a trap.

Unfortunately, his plot will not succeed.

The people of the Nine Chrysanthemums faction are not fools.

It's not that easy to be fooled.

Watanabe Inuma then said, "President, you're so clever; you saw through Qin Ran's scheme at a glance. So, what should we do next?"

"You don't need to do anything. Just pretend nothing happened and continue your business activities as normal."

"If we do nothing, they won't have any evidence. Qin Ran made this arrangement because he had no other choice."

"The 749 Bureau couldn't find anything wrong with us, so they set a trap to make us expose ourselves."

Watanabe Inzan gave a thumbs up: "You are truly wise, responding to all changes with constancy."

Tanaka Jiro then said, "Chairman, this can't go on forever. We're in a very passive position. We have to get rid of Qin Ran."

"I know even if you don't say it, but now is not the time. I'll make the arrangements myself after this period."

Their secret meeting ended quickly.

They left the chamber of commerce one after another.

……

The next day.

When Matsumoto Soji and the others arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, nothing seemed amiss.

They continued their business activities.

It was as if nothing had happened.

10 a.m.

Sōji Matsumoto organized a meeting.

This meeting was for companies that had already joined the Yamato Chamber of Commerce.

They were preparing for a detailed exchange.

Halfway through the meeting, a news item suddenly appeared on the LCD TV.

"According to our station, there will be major military activities in the city over the next two days. All streets will be closed, and all vehicles and pedestrians will be prohibited from traveling."

The businessmen were all surprised when they heard the news.

"What's going on? Why is there such a major military operation?"

"I don't know, it's never happened before."

"The streets are all blocked off, are they arresting someone?"

The group whispered amongst themselves.

Tanaka Jiro swallowed hard.

This has made the news, so it can't be fake, right?

The other Japanese also realized something was wrong.

Even Matsumoto Soji frowned.

He then dismissed the merchants on some random pretext.

Matsumoto Sōji led several key personnel to the office.

"President, it seems your deduction was wrong. What Tian Lina said is true. We need to think of a solution quickly," Tanaka Jiro said anxiously.

"Don't panic, this might just be another trick by Qin Ran. We must remain calm."

"Dad, look! This message is all over the short videos and the headlines. It's obvious they're planning to arrest us." Matsumoto Teru handed over his phone.

Matsumoto Sōji took the phone and looked at it.

He was becoming increasingly agitated.

Is 749 really coming to Xijing in two days?

Tanaka Jiro suddenly realized something: "Chairman, I remember Tian Lina said yesterday that based on her many years of business experience, she felt that we were businessmen, and that's probably why she met with me. Maybe it really wasn't Qin Ran who instructed her."

"I told you, don't panic. The more you panic, the more chaotic things will become. There are definitely many eyes watching us in the dark right now. Remember, don't panic." Matsumoto Soji was panting heavily.

……

Meanwhile, Qin Ran was at home watching various media outlets broadcast the news.

He went to see Qiu Yubin yesterday.

Qiu Yubin's arrangements were indeed spot on.

It's being reported by all the major media outlets now.

Qin Ran knew that after Tanaka Jiro relayed Tian Lina's words to Matsumoto Soji yesterday, he definitely wouldn't believe it.

As for the media reports today that there will be a major military event in Xijing in two days, Tanaka Jiro probably doesn't believe it's aimed at them.

But he would feel uneasy.

He will have doubts and fears.

This wasn't the end of it; Qin had other plans.

He wanted to see how long these old foxes could hold out.

While meditating, Qin Ran dialed Tang Da's number.

"Mr. Qin, what are your instructions?"

"Keep a close eye on those Japanese people, and tell me immediately if there's anything they do."

"Don't worry, I have people watching both the Yamato Chamber of Commerce and their residences, and so far they haven't shown any unusual behavior."

Qin Ran sneered: "It'll be soon. They won't be able to hold out for long with this 'shock and awe' tactic."

Qin Ran hung up the phone after chatting for a while.

Zhu Jiahe walked over: "Your arrangement is really brilliant. If it were me, I would definitely run away."

"Those Japanese are cunning and shrewd. It's not the right time yet, but it won't be long before they lose their patience," Qin Ran said with a smile.

"Do you have any other plans?"

"Of course, they'll be completely exposed once I unleash my ultimate move."

Zhu Jiahe laughed and said, "Then I'll just watch the show quietly."

"Just you wait and see, the best is yet to come."
