CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300 I AM MR. GU’S MAN

"Stand a bit more in the middle. Yes, right there. Okay, I’m taking the shot!"

Outside Tokyo Airport, Zimei held up her phone with enthusiasm, carefully adjusting Ji Wei’s pose. The two of them looked like cheerful sisters on a trip to Tokyo, stopping at the airport entrance to snap a tourist photo.

Click—

The moment froze on Zimei’s phone screen.

Ji Wei was dressed in a simple long-sleeved plaid shirt and dark jeans, her expression moderately serious. Behind her, the Tokyo Airport signage stood out, clear and unmistakable.

"OK." Zimei gave Ji Wei a thumbs-up.

Ji Wei walked over with confusion. "Boss Zi, we’re not here to travel or vacation. Why are you taking photos of me?"

"Well, since we’re here, why not treat it like a rare chance to take a break?" Zimei replied with a smile, her easygoing demeanor betraying nothing unusual.

Ji Wei: "..."

After the photo was taken, the group boarded a white van that had been prepared in advance.

Ji Wei noticed the driver showed no intention of starting the car and couldn’t help but ask the woman beside her, "Boss Zi, aren’t we leaving?"

They knew the address—heading directly there seemed logical.

Zimei finished editing a message and sent it without any noticeable reaction, then said calmly, "Someone’s coming to pick us up. Let’s wait."

"Is it one of your people?" Ji Wei asked, surprised.

Zimei paused and replied with an ambiguous tone, "You could say... someone on our side."

Ji Wei didn’t fully grasp her meaning, assuming Zimei had prearranged airport pickup personnel. She didn’t ask further.

Quietly, Ji Wei swapped her phone’s SIM card for a local Japanese one, slipping her original card into her jeans pocket.

The wait made Ji Wei restless. She kept glancing out the window, resisting multiple urges to ask Zimei how much longer the pickup would take.

What Ji Wei didn’t notice was that Zimei’s alluring eyes were also tense, her long nails repeatedly tracing faint marks across her phone screen.

Would he come after seeing the message?

...

Not long after this thought arose, Zimei caught sight of the tall figure she’d been longing to see.

With uncontrollable excitement, she eagerly opened the van door and stepped out.

Ji Wei followed Zimei’s trajectory with her gaze, and in that moment, her expression froze.

The man Zimei was walking toward was Ye Cheng!

Why was Ye Cheng here?

Ji Wei didn’t have time to process her thoughts as the van door beside her was suddenly yanked open. A lean, stern-faced man appeared before her.

Ji Wei was startled to see the man staring intently at her, as if trying to confirm something. Nervously, she spoke up, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Several of Zimei’s subordinates in the van reacted instantly. They got out and surrounded the lean man.

After confirming that Ji Wei was indeed the person he was looking for, the lean man abruptly reached out and tried to pull her out of the van, ignoring the black-clad men encircling him.

Panic-stricken, Ji Wei hadn’t yet figured out who he was. She struggled desperately to break free. "Let me go!"

"I work for Mr. Gu," the man replied suddenly in Mandarin that was slightly stilted.

Ji Wei’s struggles came to an immediate halt.

Was Gu Moqian the one who sent someone to pick her up?

But how did they know she was already in Tokyo? Could it be that...

Ji Wei instinctively glanced in Zimei’s direction and quickly understood the situation.

She stopped resisting. The lean man turned and started walking, but Zimei’s subordinates were not about to let him leave so easily.

"Let her go," one of the black-clad men commanded as he drew a handgun from his waistband and pressed it against the lean man’s back.
