The sampled seawater was sent to the detection center affiliated with Yingdong Electric Power. Jiang Chen originally wanted to follow along to take a look, but was stopped by Fujiwara Reiki.

"It won't yield results in a short time. Once the results are out, I'll notify Jiang-san immediately. There's another place we need to go now."

Jiang Chen was pulled into a car and then dragged to the streets of Fukushima.

The convoy pulled over to the side.

Visible to the naked eye, someone was giving a speech ahead, attracting many residents, surrounded layer upon layer.

In Japan, politicians often hit the streets to campaign for votes, so this scene wasn't unusual. But when Jiang Chen got out of the car and looked closely, he was quite surprised.

The person giving the impassioned speech to the Fukushima people was none other than Prince Wataru Tetsuya.

They had just met in Ginza last night, and now they coincidentally meet here?

"Why is he here?"

Jiang Chen knew it couldn't just be a coincidence.

Watching from a certain distance, Fujiwara Reiki smiled.

"Li Ji invited him."

As expected.

Even though he anticipated it, upon hearing the answer from the person who had graciously hosted him last night, Jiang Chen's heart stirred with slight unease.

"Although an apology statement has been issued, having the Imperial Family's endorsement would reassure the people of Fukushima better. For the Imperial Family, there's no harm, only benefit," Fujiwara Reiki voluntarily explained.

Jiang Chen naturally understood the logic; such a golden opportunity to gain popularity was surely something Prince Wataru Tetsuya was eager for.

"Are you sure the last road assassin was sent by him?"

Jiang Chen inquired.

This was a rather critical question.

"A small impatience spoils big plans, Jiang-san. We need the Imperial Family now. As for the debts, we'll settle them someday."

Fujiwara Reiki looked over.

Though the specific content of Prince Wataru Tetsuya's speech was inaudible, it undoubtedly aimed to inspire the people of Fukushima, promote the latest policies, and encourage trust in the future.

Apart from his perceived flaws, His Highness was indeed commendable in other ways, with outstanding eloquence and charisma, as evident from the audience's continuous applause.

Utilizing every resource available is fine, but this seems a bit insensitive to one's own feelings, doesn't it?

Even if he's not a petty person and has great foresight, the reckoning for grievances should have come from him, not through someone else making such decisions on his behalf.

He hasn't even left Japan yet.

"Didn't you say you'd help me get revenge?"

Jiang Chen reminded.

"When did Li Ji say that?"

When?

Where could he recall?

"Probably before the last meeting."

Fujiwara Reiki tilted her head slightly, her gaze deep and profound.

Though she couldn't remember the exact time, she was certain about the timeframe she mentioned.

The last meeting.

Wasn't it that night best left unmentioned?

"So?"

"So..." Fujiwara Reiki suddenly lowered her voice, "Back then, Li Ji was worried Jiang-san wouldn't trust her, but now, Li Ji and Jiang-san are one. Does Jiang-san still doubt Li Ji's loyalty?"

Straightforward.

Too straightforward!

Indeed.

With changed identities, attitudes surely change as well.

Back then, Fujiwara Reiki's initial problem was winning Jiang Chen's favor, but now, that urgency clearly didn't exist.

Since what she said made sense, Jiang Chen couldn't find words to refute, especially since Tanki Liuli was nearby, which explained Fujiwara Reiki's subdued voice.

Not suitable to discuss inappropriate topics in front of the Taoist nun sister.

Jiang Chen pressed his lips together, silent.

More and more people were drawn to Wataru Tetsuya's speech, but the order remained impeccable, even though there were only a few security personnel, displaying the Japanese people's respect for the Imperial Family.

The same words, spoken by different people, had vastly different effects.

Bringing this prince here served multiple purposes: boosting morale, raising Yingdong Electric Power's reputation in Fukushima, and giving this prince significant human favors, enhancing his prestige.

Such a simple move showcased seasoned skills and profound wisdom, while simultaneously leaving Jiang Chen speechless.

Now, Jiang Chen was somewhat grateful she was a woman.

"What's wrong?"

Turning his head, Jiang Chen looked questionably at Tanki Liuli beside him.

He must not have been mistaken; she seemed to bump his arm just now.

There was no time to wait for a response.

Bang!

A deep gunshot suddenly exploded, shocking everyone's eardrums.

After the shock came silence.

Then chaos.

Jiang Chen quickly turned back to look at the speech site. The crowd, like frightened sheep, scattered in panic.

The gunman in a baseball cap was fearless, continuing to fire wildly.

"Bang bang bang..."

It wasn't about retaliation against society.

The gunman wasn't aiming at the crowd; his target was singular—Wataru Tetsuya giving the speech.

Regardless of composure, anyone facing death struggles with calmness, let alone a prince like Wataru Tetsuya probably experiencing his first close call, his face turned pale, frozen there.

Fortunately, the security was diligent; someone hurriedly tackled him to the ground.

"Aren't you going to help?"

Fujiwara Reiki seemed equally shocked by this incident. Only after Jiang Chen's prompting did she react and immediately ordered her subordinates.

"Rescue Prince Wataru Tetsuya!"

On receiving orders, the men in suits behind them charged out like wolves and tigers, driven by urgency, without much thought, drawing their guns to shoot at the gunman.
