The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"Public Security Bureau?" Zhang Yuze looked at Zhou Jie with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "The Public Security Bureau is useless. This involves diplomatic matters. Even if we hand them over, the most likely outcome is that they'll be sent back to handle it themselves. But do you think that would be useful?" Zhou Jie's expression changed upon hearing this. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had to acknowledge that this was the reality. Although Donghua's international standing was growing stronger and its influence was deepening, Donghua still adhered to a policy of forbearance in international affairs. Zhang Yuze didn't necessarily think this strategy was wrong. After all, many countries surrounding Donghua had formed a strategic encirclement, and a move in one area could affect the whole situation. Donghua's strategy was, to a large extent, a necessity. However, many times, Zhang Yuze felt a surge of anger in his heart. The more you tolerate some enemies, the more they will think you are easy to bully, and this is unacceptable. So now that the little devils were bullying him on his own turf, he felt very unhappy. He, Zhang, was not a pushover. If someone gave him ten punches, he would definitely return ten punches and ten kicks.

"But Boss, if we catch them and don't release them, what if the state investigates?" Zhou Jie frowned, looking at Zhang Yuze with some concern.

Before Zhou Jie could finish speaking, Zhang Yuze quickly waved his hand and said, "What 'what if'? Did you see any little devils here? I didn't see any."

Upon hearing Zhang Yuze's words, Zhou Jie was first stunned, then suddenly realized what Zhang Yuze meant. He nodded to Zhang Yuze and exclaimed, "Boss, you are so clever! I admire you!"

On the third day, major news outlets in Japan began reporting that several Japanese tourists had gone missing in Donghua. The Japanese Communist News Agency reported that four Japanese citizens had disappeared in Donghua.

The Japanese ambassador had already negotiated with the Chinese side, asking them to hand over the people. Although the Chinese side agreed to help search, the search lasted only a few days and was perfunctory, claiming that these people could not be found within Donghua's borders.

Although some informed people in Japan knew what was going on, they couldn't bring this dirty business out into the open. They could only keep urging the Japanese side to put pressure on the Chinese side. However, after several strong pressures from Japan, the Chinese side seemed to be provoked and became increasingly tough, eventually ignoring the Japanese demands.

Although the Japanese side's attitude started out very tough, they knew their own situation. They couldn't truly offend this powerful neighbor just for the sake of a few Japanese people. If they really offended Donghua, it wouldn't be beneficial to them at all. Japan was a resource-poor country, and they still had to rely on Donghua in many matters. So in the end, this matter could only be dropped.

In Nanmin National Security Bureau, the director of the National Security Bureau, Lian Sheng, stood in front of the window, his brows furrowed, obviously encountering something difficult to handle.

"Chief, what's wrong?" Ling Wei looked at Lian Sheng, who looked unwell, and asked him with concern.

"What exactly is this person trying to do, capturing the Japanese? What good does that do them?" Lian Sheng turned around, looked at Ling Wei, and shook his head helplessly. (End of this chapter)
