Chapter 220: Chapter 218: You’ll Know When You See It! Regarding going to Japan, Xiao Tian had also come to terms with it. Waving his hand, he said, "No problem, let’s do as Director Bai suggested!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Tao nodded in relief, then pointed to Yu Ningxue beside him, saying, "This time, Ningxue will accompany you. Usually, she’s your partner. The schedule is tight, so we won’t select anyone else. Plus, you can be impulsive sometimes, so I’ll feel more reassured if Ningxue goes with you."
Yu Ningxue cautiously looked at Xiao Tian upon hearing this. When she saw Xiao Tian nod, she felt a lot more at ease.
Bai Tao finished speaking and glanced at his watch, he had another meeting to attend. He directly said, "The schedule is tight; your flight is arranged to leave at three in the afternoon. In the meantime, take them out for a meal, show some hospitality. The bill’s on me!"
Xiao Tian nodded and led Mo Fei and the other two out of the police station.

At this moment, in the capital city, at the Zhong Residence.
All of the Zhong Family’s buildings were in the ancient Huaxia style. To others, the Zhong Family was a very mysterious presence. The courtyard wall of the Zhong Family’s compound was a full two meters high, all painted red, with guard posts set up everywhere.
And outside the gate of the Zhong family, there were soldiers with guns at the ready standing guard.
A sign reading "August 1" hung on the door, seemingly narrating the background of the Zhong Family—a super family!
Inside the study of the Zhong Family, Zhong Aiguo was practicing calligraphy. His strokes seemed to be guided by divine will, with no hesitation, the ink flying.
"Report!" Lin Gang shouted at the door.
"Come in."
After entering, Lin Gang straightened his posture and said, "Chief, the people you instructed are ready to go anytime."
Zhong Aiguo paused his writing, nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Hmm... Zhanhong has executed many special missions before, rarely failing, and has even operated in Japan previously. I feel reassured sending him... Remember, this document is very important, it must be retrieved before Japan fully analyzes it. It must be foolproof!"
"Understood, Chief, I’ll relay the instructions right away!"
Lin Gang finished speaking and left Zhong Aiguo’s study.
Zhong Aiguo sat on his chair, no longer in the mood for calligraphy. If the results of this military research were mastered by the Japanese, it would have a huge impact on the entire country!
Now he could only hope everything went smoothly.

At three in the afternoon, at Shanghai City’s international airport, Xiao Tian, Yu Ningxue, and three Americans boarded the specialized plane provided for them by the Shanghai Beijing Opera.
Before the plane took off, Xiao Tian called Lin Bingxuan. He informed her of the urgent matter requiring him to go to Japan first and agreed to meet once Lin Bingxuan arrived. Lin Bingxuan gladly agreed.
Two hours later, the plane stopped at Tokyo International Airport.
As it was a police plane, it parked directly in a dedicated area in the north of the airport. Accompanied by a not-so-loud roar, the plane finally came to a slow stop.
Xiao Tian, Yu Ningxue, and Mo Fei got off the plane to find a group of Japanese police officers waiting below. In the distance, there was also a luxury car specifically meant to welcome guests.
"Ah, finally you’re here!" The one welcoming them was a deputy director from the Japan Guard Bureau, named Matsushita Daiku.
It’s said that Japanese people’s English is quite unique, but this particular officer spoke fluent English, probably to increase the Americans’ sense of recognition.
These American detectives were always revered as "god-like" figures by the Japanese. Relying on them for previous actions, when these Americans came, the bureau’s director personally instructed to entertain them well and to ensure they enjoyed their time in Tokyo!
As for the Huaxia police, the higher-ups suggested they just be entertained casually.
Matsushita Daiku approached Mo Fei, directly introducing, "First time in Japan, right? The bureau has arranged everything in advance, hot springs, Kobe beef, and..."
Seeing two women onboard the plane, Matsushita Daiku leaned closer to Mo Fei and softly said, "Also some authentic Japanese women."
"Hahahaha!!" Mo Fei, with an understanding look, patted Matsushita Daiku on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I’m sure we’ll have a pleasant collaboration this time."
"Hahahaha." Mo Fei, satisfied, laughed and directly got into the luxury car with Lann and Sofia.
"Servile." Yu Ningxue couldn’t help but mutter a word upon seeing the eager Matsushita Daiku. Xiao Tian gave a helpless smile, directly pulling Yu Ningxue down the gangway.
"You’re the Huaxia police, right?" As Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue stepped off the gangway and were about to get into the car meant for them, Matsushita Daiku unexpectedly stepped forward to stop them.
In contrast to his earlier conversation with Mo Fei, Matsushita Daiku’s tone was now quite indifferent, a major shift in attitude.
Xiao Tian nodded, replying in perfect English, "Yes, we’re here for the joint arrest operation. Huaxia Police, Xiao Tian."
"Yu Ningxue."
"Oh."
Upon hearing Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue’s self-introductions, Matsushita Daiku only nodded indifferently, clearly not giving them much regard.
Matsushita Daiku then smirked and said,
"This VIP car is specifically prepared for these three officers. You two should sit in the car behind!"
Following Matsushita Daiku’s gesture, Xiao Tian looked over to see that behind the luxury car meant for the Americans was a dilapidated black van!
The van was completely black and extremely shabby, like a car that had been abandoned for many years and was simply repaired before being put on the road.
If this car were in Shanghai, it wouldn’t even be able to get a license plate!
Seeing Xiao Tian and the others dumbfounded, several surrounding Japanese police officers immediately started to snicker.
A Japanese officer beside them laughed, "Please, both of you, don’t delay the meeting schedule."
After the officer finished speaking, he gave a mischievous smile, "But I’m sorry, the van driver just had an issue and left. I’m afraid you’ll have to drive this vehicle back to the bureau with us."
"You!" Yu Ningxue looked at the shabby van, who knows what kind of mess it might be inside?
Upon learning that she was going abroad with Xiao Tian this time, she had specifically changed into this dress worth over 30,000.
