Since the bankruptcy of Takeda Pharmaceutical, the Mitsui Consortium fell from the top three of the first-tier consortiums to the ranks of the second-tier consortiums. If it weren't for the ancient surname of Mitsui, the head of the Mitsui family wouldn't even be qualified to sit with Jiang Chen and the other big shots at the state banquet.
However, when Takeda Pharmaceutical was facing an auction, Mitsui Hiroto made a move and bought the problematic servers with a shell company. At that time, he didn't think too much. He just wanted to leave a backup plan for the future. After all, Takeda Pharmaceutical spent a lot of money on research and development for these formatted virus data.
But not long ago, the CIB found him and suddenly asked about the servers.
Thinking of the recent international situation, Mitsui immediately understood what the CIB was planning to do, so he gladly stated that he was the owner of the servers. At the same time, he politely expressed that he was willing to donate these servers and was even willing to help the CIB, which was now in an awkward position in Nippon, transport these servers out of the country.
Relying on the CIB was a gamble.
Just like when he bet on Jiang Chen and believed that Celestial Trade could clean up the Kurofune, he did not hesitate to hand over the list in his hand in exchange for Jiang Chen's promise to let him go.
If he stood on the side of the UA on this matter, with the support of the Capitol, the Mitsui family might be able to make a comeback. What's more, he himself was very disgusted with the current practice of the Nippon authorities. He was a firm supporter of the UA and Nippon alliance, and his own political views were to the extreme. Otherwise, he would not have invested in Tanaka's project and helped the Abe government develop the "T virus" designed against Hua.
Early the next morning, Mitsui called the CIB early in the morning.
"… Last night, I saw Sumitomo Kenichi get into Jiang Chen's car —"
"Last night? Fu * k! Why are you calling me now?! " The man on the other end of the phone was very angry. He interrupted Mitsui's words and said in stiff Japanese, "You actually let Sumitomo Kenichi stay with that man for a night!"
The person on the phone was the head of the CIB in Nippon, named Frank. Under normal circumstances, Sumitomo Kenichi's vicinity would be monitored by the CIB, but last night was an exception. Wherever Jiang Chen appeared, Ghost Agents would be on standby nearby. Sending people to the area near the new Otani Hotel was no different from suicide, so he asked Mitsui Hiroto.
As the head of the Mitsui Group, Mitsui Hiroto was certainly qualified to attend the state banquet, and he could sit at the same table with Jiang Chen and Sumitomo Kenichi. What's more, Mitsui Hiroto was also involved in the smuggling of the server.
Mitsui Hiroto's expression was a little awkward when he heard Frank's accusation.
Last night, he did want to call the CIB to tip them off, but on his way home, he suddenly received a call from the company, so he had to change his schedule and go to the company to deal with it. As a result, he forgot about it and only remembered it this morning.
"I didn't stay for a night. I followed them for a while, and finally, Sumitomo Kenichi got off the car halfway." Hiroto Mitsui coughed softly. "Maybe he didn't reveal the secrets of those servers. As the heir of the Sumitomo Consortium, he doesn't need to take risks for something that has nothing to do with him."
After a pause, Mitsui Hiroto continued.
"And like I just said, he didn't ask Jiang Chen to drop him off at the door last night. If he foolishly chose to tell the truth, he certainly wouldn't get off the car without a bodyguard and take a taxi home. What they talked about in the car was probably just business. At the state banquet, Sumitomo said he planned to import a batch of medical drones from Celestial Trade. "
Just as Mitsui Hiroto excused his mistake, Frank on the other end of the phone was furious. His hand holding the phone couldn't stop trembling, and he almost threw the phone at the wall.
[You actually followed Jiang Chen?
Do you think you're 007?
I don't need you to analyze who is suspicious for me.]
There was no need to guess at all. On Jiang Chen's side, Mitsui Hiroto's identity related to those servers was already confirmed. Unsurprisingly, the conversation just now had even been monitored by the Ghost Agents. No matter how far the little mouse hired by Sumitomo Kenichi investigated, once Ghost Agents accepted the case, they would definitely follow Mitsui Hiroto's lead.
Yesterday, he was not caught on the spot by Ghost Agents because of this reason.
[What a stupid teammate!]
Frank cursed the old man ten thousand times in his mind. Finally, he took a deep breath, calmed his mind and tone, and continued to speak.
"… It's hard to say if Sumitomo Kenichi leaked the secret. We can't take this risk, and we can't afford to take this risk. Continuing to wait will only make us more passive. We must ship the servers out of the country as soon as possible. I already have a plan here, but I need your cooperation … Come to Ginza immediately, and we'll meet at the old place. "
"I'll head out immediately." Mitsui Hiroto nodded.
After he hung up the phone, Frank didn't hesitate. He immediately looked at the assistant next to him and ordered coldly.
"Mitsui Hiroto has been targeted by Ghost. Send someone to kill him. His identity is a bit sensitive. Remember to do it cleanly. "
"Roger!" The assistant nodded and immediately walked out of the office.
…
After he hung up the phone, Mitsui Hiroto immediately left the office, found his butler, and ordered.
"Prepare the car immediately, I'm going out."
The car was quickly prepared.
Without even eating breakfast, Mitsui Hiroto rushed downstairs to the garage. Without waiting for the bodyguard to open the door for him, he opened the door and got in.
At this moment, all of Mitsui Hiroto's thoughts were on the servers. He didn't notice that just as his car left the mansion's gate, a black car followed him unhurriedly.
Gill followed Mitsui Hiroto from a distance and maintained a relatively safe distance. She freed her right hand that was holding the steering wheel and gently pressed on her collar.
"The target has left the residence. Team B and C, follow up."
"Roger."
Two clear replies came from the side.
The car that was on standby two streets next door also slowly started its engine and followed on both sides of Gill's car.
Perhaps to prevent being tracked by Celestial Trade's servers, Mitsui Hiroto drove a pure gas-powered car without magnetic levitation function. Gill and the others didn't start the magnetic levitation device on the car and mixed into the less dense traffic on the street.
Gill's eyes were locked on Mitsui Hiroto. In order to prevent losing him, she gestured to her teammate in the passenger seat, released the drone in her backpack, and sped along the bottom of the maglev lane.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred …
