The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 151: I Hope to Talk to You About Our Heavenly Father

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao furrowed his brow thoughtfully, the more he thought, the more it made sense.

On the other side, without noticing the boy's psychological activities, Feng Zhaobai pondered for a long time, and his eyes moved.

"There's a silver mission suitable for you!"

"What mission?"

"Do you remember the head of the Japan Intelligence Class you took down earlier?"

"Hara Hao Yi?"

"Yes, his successor has rebuilt the East China intelligence network, but this time they've learned their lesson, very low-key and cautious, we haven't been able to track his whereabouts."

"So just find him and finish him off?"

Hearing this, Feng Zhaobai smirked and grinned.

"That's right, in theory, the task is very simple, but the key is how to find him from the vast sea of people!"

"To be honest, three people have taken on this mission before, but they couldn't find him and so it timed out and returned to the task pool."

"Are you sure you want to take this task?"

Upon hearing Feng Zhaobai's inquiry, Zhu Haomiao recalled his "believers" spread throughout both the underworld and the law-abiding community, and decisively nodded.

"Yes!"

In terms of intelligence networks, I'm afraid I'm stronger than the entire [Yanhuang Armory]!

After all, each of my "believers" is a talent!

People from all walks of life, heroes from China and abroad, are almost everywhere in Shanghai!

As long as they all move, it's hard for anyone in the East China region to escape this huge net!

.........

"Chief."

"Fool! Use my alias when on a mission!!"

"Yes! Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. your mother!"

Ishida Youji slapped the subordinate, causing him to stagger, and glared at this rookie through gritted teeth.

Realizing his mistake, the rookie didn't care about the burning slap mark on his face, and stood upright tremblingly.

"Sorry! Mr. Zhang Zeyuan!"

Hearing his perfectly articulated Chinese, Ishida Youji slightly suppressed his anger, picked up the binoculars again, and looked towards the distant military port.

In his view, several towering and majestic steel warships were docked at the pier, with thick gun muzzles and sharp rams resembling the claws and fangs of a beast, making one's heart palpitate.

Can the Empire's navy really defeat such powerful battleships?

Even if they are defeated, as long as the Qing Court stubbornly refuses to surrender, with Japan's foundation, it won't last long!

The body of the Heavenly Dynasty is too vast, vast enough to despair!

It's said that the Empress Dowager's garden money reaches tens of millions of taels of silver, even higher than the Empire's military budget!

This is a gamble of national fate, hoping that the Qing Court is really as weak as the headquarters propaganda, otherwise if they grit their teeth and hold on for a while, the Empire can't afford it, and might even collapse first!

However, if a piece of such a huge Heavenly Dynasty, even just a small bite, could be bitten off, it would save the Empire from struggling for decades!

Licking his lips, Ishida Youji suppressed the greed in his heart, put down the binoculars, and looked at the rookie subordinate with bowed head and lowered eyes.

"What's the matter? Why are you urgently looking for me?"

"There's news from Shanghai, they've already made contact with the target, they hope you can go back to oversee the work."

"Oh!"

Ishida Youji's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist excitedly.

He spent over a year to painstakingly rebuild the East China Intelligence Department's network, and today it finally starts to pay off!

"I'll return to Shanghai immediately, Weihaiwei will be handed over to Deputy Chief Sato, make sure to find out the actual situation of the Qing Court Navy, the headquarters has already been impatient!"

"Yes!"

Instinctively bringing his legs together, standing upright and saluting, as he saw Ishida Youji's murderous gaze, the foolish rookie immediately realized he made another mistake.

"Uh... yes, Mr. Zhang Zeyuan."

Narrowing his eyes, staring at the rookie who was sweating profusely, Ishida Youji gritted his teeth, squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"If I hear one more word of Japanese from your mouth, tie up a stone and jump into the sea yourself."

"Yes... yes..."

Glaring fiercely at the sweating rookie, Ishida Youji got into a black car, heading straight to the civilian pier.

.........

"My lord, the fish has returned to Shanghai, and will be entertained by a fellow tonight."

While appreciating a group of scantily clad ladies dancing gracefully, a faint whisper directly sounded in his mind. Zhu Haomiao slightly curled his lips, silently responding to Wilson's prayer.

"Bait the hook, in a few days I'll personally go and collect."

"As you command."

After cutting off the connection, Zhu Haomiao smiled, enjoying the light music and dance of the ladies, while his consciousness had long drifted far away.

Originally he planned to take down the target on the spot, but that would expose one of his dark lines, and the Japan Intelligence Class would become more cautious in the future.

So, it's better to mark the target, and after some time take him down, so that they won't even know how they died!

While Zhu Haomiao was secretly contemplating, in a luxurious courtyard in Shanghai, Ishida Youji met the big figure he had been yearning for.

"Mr. Fang, I've longed for this meeting for so long!"

"Mr. Zhang, please sit."

Fang Guangzhong greeted indifferently, displaying utter arrogance.

But the more he looked like this, the more enthusiastic Ishida Youji was in his heart.

To open up this line, the entire intelligence department had expended countless manpower and resources!

"Mr. Zhang, I wonder what important matters you have for seeking multiple meetings?"

"It's like this, I heard that you have extensive connections within the navy, I have some business that I'd like to cooperate with you on."

Upon hearing this, Fang Guangzhong, who was sipping tea lightly, narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Who told you such rumors!"

Ishida Youji's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly smiled apologetically.

"It was introduced by Qiu Zhan Yong, Mr. Qiu, I hope you can take good care of me, Mr. Fang."

Saying so, Ishida Youji discreetly slipped a stack of silver notes into Fang Guangzhong's hand, full of sycophantic flattery.

"Oh... it's introduced by Old Qiu, then alright..."

Glancing at the value on the silver notes, Fang Guangzhong finally showed a satisfied smile and nodded.

With silver notes paving the way, Fang Guangzhong finally stopped probing and began discussing some substantial content, implicitly touching on some intelligence within the navy.

Upon hearing the information unintentionally revealed by the other party, Ishida Youji's heart was filled with joy.

The Qing Court Navy is slack in armament, and internal corruption is shockingly evident!

Meanwhile, Fang Guangzhong glanced at Ishida Youji faintly, picked up the tea cup for a sip, while his lowered eyes concealed a dark light that others couldn't observe.

After a round of "host and guest delighted" talks, Ishida Youji happily took his leave, setting the next meeting time.

Before leaving, as if he remembered something, Fang Guangzhong held Ishida Youji's hand with a smile.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I wonder what are your thoughts on faith?"

"Ah?"

Ishida Youji blinked puzzled, unable to comprehend why the other suddenly brought up such unrelated matters.

Ignoring Ishida Youji's polite yet awkward smile, Fang Guangzhong, like an enthusiastic missionary, spoke excitedly.

"I wish to talk to you about our Heavenly Father, the only savior - [Primordial Sin]."
