Chapter 225: Wants To Pimp Me!
“Sorry, this isn’t about money.”
Cao Weida ruthlessly rejected her request, saying coldly:
“Also, you’ve got one thing wrong. I’m just a subordinate working for Ono-kun and Fujita-kun. Don’t mix up the relationship.”
“Since that thing is so precious, I’m even less likely to help with this. I wouldn’t dare get Ono-kun and them into trouble on my own.”
Kawashima Yoshiko clearly hadn’t expected Cao Weida to react this way. She thought he loved money, and as long as she offered enough, he would definitely help.
But obviously, the result wasn’t what she wanted.
“Cao Ye, hear me out. I really have no other way. Please help me!”
Kawashima Yoshiko said anxiously, suddenly grabbing Cao Weida’s hand tightly and pressing it hard against her gender-distinguishing feature,
“As long as you agree, I’ll do anything you want!”
Urp~
Cao Weida disgustedly yanked his hand back and kept wiping it on his clothes. His face was full of contempt and disgust.
Mama’s kiss, don’t you even look at yourself—what kind of mess you are, old, ugly, and full of buck teeth.
You really have no self-awareness at all!
For trash like you, even if you paid me, this old man would still despise it!
I damn well suspect you’re drooling over my male charms, so you want to pimp me!
“Sorry, Miss Fangzi, I’m just a lackey. For this kind of thing, I’m powerless.” Cao Weida firmly refused.
What a joke. Leaving aside that this matter was already related to him and he wanted to avoid it at all costs, how could he stupidly rush into it.
Even stepping back, this scum Kawashima Yoshiko from China should have gotten her retribution long ago. Seeing her in trouble made him happy—he wouldn’t possibly lend a hand.
Hah, you previously aided and abetted the little devil soldiers in doing evil deeds. Now this fate of yours is what you brought on yourself!
Cao Weida secretly gloated in his heart, shook the clothes on his body, and prepared to leave.
But Kawashima Yoshiko clearly had no intention of giving up just like that. Seeing Cao Weida’s firm refusal, resentment instantly filled her heart.
She darkened her face and ferociously called out to Cao Weida who was about to leave: “Cao Weida, do you know how important the thing the Empire lost this time is?”
“You want to know what was lost? I’ll tell you.”
Cao Weida’s expression changed. Just as he was about to interrupt, there was a ‘bang’ and the room’s door was violently pushed open from outside.
The huge noise also abruptly interrupted Kawashima Yoshiko’s unfinished words.
The two turned to look and saw Kawamoto Yoshitaro appearing at the door with a grim face, his eyes fixed deadly on Kawashima Yoshiko, his gaze fierce like a demon.
Kawashima Yoshiko, being stared at, trembled all over, fear rapidly expanding in her eyes.
“Men!”
“Hai!”
“Gag her mouth and take her away!”
“Hai!”
Seeing two Japanese soldiers step forward to control her, Kawashima Yoshiko cried out in terror: “Officer Kawamoto, you can’t do this to me! Officer Kawamoto, wuwu”
Fear filled Kawashima Yoshiko’s eyes, and her heart was interwoven with despair and darkness. A strong resentment also arose spontaneously.
But it was unclear who this resentment was directed at—was it Cao Weida? Or the little devils?
Kawashima Yoshiko, with despair in her eyes, had her mouth gagged by two soldiers and was dragged away by force. Seeing this, Cao Weida felt a burst of relief in his heart.
Damn, that damned Kawashima Yoshiko actually wanted to drag me down!
Good thing Kawamoto Yoshitaro this little devil interrupted in time. She really deserves to die!
However, from the situation just now and Kawamoto Yoshitaro’s expression, he knew Kawashima Yoshiko wouldn’t have a good end.
“Officer Kawamoto.”
“Mm,” Kawamoto Yoshitaro responded faintly, then said meaningfully: “Mr. Cao, I hope you forget everything that happened today, especially what Kawashima Yoshiko just said.”
Cao Weida nodded hurriedly: “Yes, yes, yes. I wasn’t here today. I stayed home sleeping all day.”
“As for any Kawashima, I’ve never even seen this person!”
“Yōshi, Mr. Cao, you’re indeed a sensible person.” Hearing this answer, Kawamoto Yoshitaro smiled satisfiedly, then waved his hand:
“Alright, Mr. Cao, you can leave now.”
“Yes, then I won’t disturb Officer Kawamoto anymore. This subordinate takes his leave.”
With a smiling face and two bows, Cao Weida decisively walked away.
After Cao Weida left, Kawamoto Yoshitaro came to the room where Kawashima Yoshiko was held, his face full of grimness.
He looked at Kawashima Yoshiko, his eyes full of contemptuous disdain.
In his heart, he had always looked down on cowardly Chinese people, especially Chinese women!
A cowardly Chinese woman being given the rank of major was simply an insult to Imperial soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire!
Just now, if he hadn’t organized in time, this damned woman would have leaked the Empire’s secret!
Although this secret wasn’t something that absolutely had to be kept secret, it concerned the Empire’s prestige!
Sure enough, he knew Chinese people, especially Chinese women, couldn’t be relied on!!
This bunch all deserve to die!!
“Miss Fangzi, Kwantung Army Headquarters asked me to bring you a message: commit seppuku!” Kawamoto Yoshitaro said coldly.
Hearing this bad news, Kawashima Yoshiko’s body trembled violently, her face instantly turning pale.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, staring fixedly at Kawamoto Yoshitaro, as if hearing the most unbelievable thing in the world.
“Whwhy…” Kawashima Yoshiko’s lips trembled nonstop. “I’ve done so much for the Empire, earned so much merit…”
Kawamoto Yoshitaro sneered disdainfully: “Miss Fangzi, you are an Imperial soldier, and as a soldier—or rather an agent—you should know that failure means death!”
“Moreover, you’ve caused such great loss to the Empire. Giving you the chance to commit seppuku is already the Empire’s face-saving gesture to you!”
“If you don’t want to be decent, then we’ll have to make you decent!”
“What about them!” Kawashima Yoshiko roared unwillingly: “I’m just an insignificant part in executing the plan! This matter has nothing to do with me!”
“Are you going to kill everyone involved in this?!”
“I refuse!! Just because I’m of Chinese blood?!”
Kawamoto Yoshitaro quietly watched the hysterical roaring Kawashima Yoshiko, his face showing no fluctuation.
“Done talking?” Kawamoto Yoshitaro looked at her faintly, his face expressionless, but the disdain in his eyes was unmistakable.
“Since you’re done, choose your way to go.”
Without giving her a chance to refuse, he directly raised his right hand and beckoned with his index finger.
The next moment, a little devil soldier dragged a tray over.
The tray was padded with white cloth, and on it were three things: a dagger, a white silk ribbon, and a bottle of potion.
“You’re of Chinese blood. I’ve studied your history. These three things are prepared according to China’s history.”
“Choose one of these three yourself. Of course, you can choose all. I’ll give you five minutes.”
“After five minutes, I’ll come back in. If you haven’t chosen by then, I’ll have to help you.”
With that, without paying her any mind, he got up and left the room.
In the room, Kawashima Yoshiko slumped powerlessly onto the chair, staring blankly at the tray on the table, her eyes lifeless.
After a while, she suddenly gave a bitter smile: “In the end, even in death, it’s still in a Chinese way… So, I’m not even worthy of the Empire’s way of martyrdom.”
They say when a person is about to die, their words are kind. Facing death soon, she recalled her absurd and ridiculous life, and a thick regret suddenly arose in her heart.
She thought, forget it. She didn’t want to think anymore.
Her trembling fingers picked up the potion from the tray, paused for a moment, then poured it into her mouth without hesitation.
Not long after,
“Puff~~”
Kawashima Yoshiko spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her body falling powerlessly to the ground, eyes wide open, just staring at the ceiling.
On the tray, the white silk ribbon stained red by the spat fresh blood stood out strikingly.
Not long after, Kawamoto Yoshitaro walked in, bent down to check Kawashima Yoshiko’s body, confirmed she was dead, then waved his fingers, signaling the soldiers to carry away the corpse.
And so, the notorious Kawashima Yoshiko, who committed countless crimes in China, ended her evil life in such a hasty manner.
During this, no one mourned for her, no one prepared her body. She was buried hastily. At least not left to rot in the wilderness—that was the last bit of decency given.
On the other side.
Old Luo, receiving the notice, was naturally anxious in his heart. Although he guessed there might not be too big a problem, no one could guarantee the outcome.
After all, that was the Bamboo Agency!
Just as he found an excuse and brought two people to the outside of the Bamboo Agency office building, before they could find a concealed spot to observe, they saw Cao Weida striding out boldly.
Old Luo’s eyes scanned his body, hands, neck, and other exposed areas, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed this time it really was a false alarm.
“Withdraw.”
At Old Luo’s command, the three hurried back the same way without stopping.
Cao Weida, out of the Bamboo Agency building, looked back once, stretched lazily, and was about to hail a rickshaw to head to the Police Station.
He was out, so he needed to let the brothers know first, or they wouldn’t be at ease.
Just as he raised his hand, he saw Little Ear rushing out from the side with a few people.
“Cao Ye! Are you alright!”
“Why are you here?”
“We were worried about your safety, so we came to keep watch.”
Hearing this, Cao Weida felt warmth in his heart. At the critical moment, Little Ear and them stepped forward, not hesitating to confront the armed little devils, and now they came to watch over his safety out of worry. With such loyalty and righteousness, he wasn’t heartless—how could his heart not stir?
Cao Weida patted himself down and smiled: “Relax, I’m fine. I told you, I came to assist with the investigation—just a simple questioning.”
