Lin Wan went to wash up first, changed her clothes, and before Lu Zheng could ask anything, she mounted him without a word.
After venting fiercely, Lin Wan finally felt relieved.
“What happened?” Lu Zheng asked. “So unhappy? Someone plotted against you?”
Lin Wan nodded.
This time, it was because of a financial case involving connections between China and Japan. The Japanese side had requested assistance from the action team, specifically naming Lin Wan.
After she went over, she and a Japanese colleague tracked the targets. During the surveillance, the two targets entered a nightclub together, so Lin Wan and her colleague followed.
Then, they walked into an ambush.
Tranquiliser guns, machetes, handguns, dozens of gang members swarming in.
In the end, they were all taken down by Lin Wan, but the key point was, just as she was about to fight her way through alone, her colleague turned traitor, pulled out his gun, and shot at her.
Naturally, he missed. Lin Wan bundled him up with the gang leader, interrogated them, but they did not know much. It was just a trap to kidnap Lin Wan.
“Why?” Lu Zheng’s eyes narrowed.
“I do not know either,” Lin Wan said. “But I found out their superiors: one is the deputy head of the Interpol Tokyo branch action team, and the other is the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi Chiba branch.”
“The action team’s deputy head? Then can you still go back?” Lu Zheng asked.
“Of course I did not go back. Instead, I went straight to that Yamaguchi-gumi head,” Lin Wan exhaled. “After finding him at the branch, I learned the one targeting me was Ito Tansi.”
“Who is Ito Tansi?”
“A big shot in Japan’s media industry. Most importantly, his Zhen Duan Culture is one of the directors for overseas Japanese schools and a major shareholder in the Haicheng Japanese School.”
“What the hell!?”
Lu Zheng was stunned. He had not expected it to be this matter.
“I reported it directly to the Haicheng branch,” Lin Wan said. “Then, through Interpol headquarters coordination, the Japanese embassy in Tokyo detained that deputy head.”
“And then?”
“Then?” Lin Wan sneered. “Then they told me the case I was handling was closed. They would look for evidence on Ito Tansi and continue investigations, so I was sent back.”
Lu Zheng, “…”
“The other side did not make further moves?” Lu Zheng asked.
Lin Wan shook her head. “No. From what I observed, the head of that Tokyo office is not Ito Tansi’s man.”
Lu Zheng scoffed. “But he might not pursue this case either, right?”
Lin Wan nodded calmly. Of course.
If the office head was determined to go after Ito Tansi, he would not have phrased it that way to her. This sounded more like brushing her off, then negotiating a deal with Ito Tansi.
“But Ito Tansi definitely cannot spare attention to retaliate against me soon,” Lin Wan said.
Lu Zheng’s mouth curved slightly. “Yes, he has to smooth this over first.”
Lin Wan nodded. Indeed.
So…
“Ito Tansi, Japanese school?” Lu Zheng nodded. “Good, very good. I followed the rules, just asked you to shut it down, and you started breathing down my neck.”
Lin Wan was no longer the naive rule-follower. On the surface, she had to uphold her police duties without giving anyone leverage, since she still had her dream of being a police officer.
So during her time in Japan, she did not go on a killing spree but followed all regulations, even considering the bigger picture and leaving the Japanese soil with grievances.
However, her dream was to be a good Chinese police officer, but on Japanese soil, well…
“I have leave days off. I want to go too!” Lin Wan’s eyes sharpened.
“Good! Let’s go!” Lu Zheng agreed immediately.
If Lin Wan were just an ordinary person, the outcome of her kidnapping would be obvious.
Since that was the case, Lu Zheng would not stop her from taking revenge personally.
“Japan is not far from Haicheng. Actually, you can still show up at work during the day,” Lu Zheng said, holding Lin Wan and smiling.
Lin Wan shook her head. “Showing up at the unit would be too deliberate, and I did suffer grievances. Let’s just go shopping and watch movies. There will be plenty of alibi evidence.”
“Fine, whatever you want,” Lu Zheng said indifferently. As long as Lin Wan was happy. “When? Depart tonight?”
Lin Wan frowned. “So soon? Would not that be too obvious?”
Lu Zheng shrugged. “Revenge should not wait overnight. The question is, if we delay, will he have other ways to target you?”
Lin Wan’s eyes flashed. “You are right. As long as Ito Tansi dies within half a year, I cannot escape suspicion. In that case, no need to worry so much.”
“No, no, no. Ito Tansi might not die unnaturally,” Lu Zheng laughed. “By the way, how old is Ito Tansi?”
“Over sixty.”
“There you go,” Lu Zheng nodded seriously. “At that age, a sudden heart attack or cerebral haemorrhage is perfectly normal, right?”
Lu Zheng was a pragmatist. As long as the grudge was settled, especially since Lin Wan had become a target, what if dragging it out implicated her?
Lu Zheng continued, “What about the other shareholders of the Japanese school?”
Lin Wan shook her head. “The others probably did not join in plotting against me.”
The overseas Japanese school system worked like this.
First, several Japanese conglomerates and business tycoons formed a company, but this company mainly served to unify and coordinate, providing daily management and such.
The actual establishment of Japanese schools worldwide was funded by individuals or factions within the company, becoming major shareholders, while the company held only a small share.
This way, everyone had their own territory, and the company made money from management and its minor shares, creating common interests.
Of course, if one school had issues, it was that school’s problem alone. The company would not step in directly, as that would make too many enemies.
And the Haicheng Japanese School had only one major shareholder: Ito Tansi.
But…
“Since we are making a move, taking out just one Ito Tansi would be too petty,” Lu Zheng said coldly.
Lin Wan nodded, got up, and pulled a file from her briefcase on the dining table.
“What is this?”
“The list of all conglomerates, factions, and shareholders involved in overseas Japanese schools.”
Good grief! Lu Zheng was impressed!
This was the benefit of having an insider in the police. Such confidential documents could be obtained on demand.
Lu Zheng took the file. “Alright, Ito Tansi is first. The others, we will take one by one. Consider it weekend entertainment.”
