Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2431 - 2495: The Real and Fake Mu Fei

"Yifei, I just received an email from Mr. Mu Fei," Aoki Reiko took the initiative to find Li Yifei to tell him the news.Li Yifei nodded and asked, "What did he say?"

"Mr. Mu Fei said he happened to have a few days off, took a flight to Japan, and is now in Tokyo," Aoki Reiko said excitedly. Li Yifei could feel her heart and breathing speeding up, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. She continued, "I’m a bit excited, I’ve been waiting so long, can I really meet Mr. Mu Fei?"

Li Yifei chuckled faintly, thinking, "Is she going to cast a net early? Is there some suspicion?" The other person’s profession is computers, and he knows something about hacking technology; otherwise, how could he hack into Aoki Reiko’s computer? Therefore, if his own computer was tampered with, he would also be alert.

Li Yifei was not surprised by the actions of that exchange student Zhang Dabao, especially since he was already going to trouble him; now that the person came out on his own, it saved Li Yifei the effort to catch him.

Aoki Reiko was observing Li Yifei’s expression changes and seeing that he didn’t reply, she asked, "Yifei, are you... worried about something?"

Li Yifei smiled and said, "I was thinking he’s not on a mission, why suddenly come over, after all, this is not his country."

"Oh, he explained in the email that there was an opportunity, and he had a few days off to move freely. Plus, he contacted me, so he especially wanted to come over and see me, although I said there was no need, in case it violated some regulation, but he’s already in Tokyo, so he can’t just go back!"

"So what’s your decision?"

"I think... I’ll set off in a bit and rush back with Kawako!" Aoki Reiko said brightly, adding, "I also want to invite you, Yifei, to go back with me to meet Mr. Mu Fei. You are experienced and can help me distinguish."

"You’re not afraid I’ll expose him as a fake?" Li Yifei deliberately asked.

Aoki Reiko lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then looked up at Li Yifei and said, "If he’s fake, then... it proves I don’t have fate with Mr. Mu Fei. I haven’t thought that far yet. If he weren’t Mr. Mu Fei, how would he know so much secret?"

Silly girl, you wrote it yourself. Don’t say it’s him; anyone who sees those diaries could know, Li Yifei thought with a bit of mixed feelings, sighing how naive this girl is while also saying, "All right, I’ll go with you!"

"Thank you, Yifei. I know this isn’t very good, as you have your things to do, just... now, I don’t know who to ask for help," Aoki Reiko said. To her, Li Yifei has a unique significance, so she came to find him. Otherwise, she could call hundreds of bodyguards without any difficulty.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "No need for courtesy, I’ll pack up and go back to Tokyo with you all."

Several hours later, the four returned to Tokyo. Along the way, the person claiming to be Mr. Mu Fei, namely Zhang Dabao, made a call telling Aoki Reiko the hotel he was staying in and asked her to find him at the hotel. The other party’s plan was good, directly asking her to come to the residence, which is a secluded place without outside disturbance. He shows his true self and says he used a disguise at the time. This guy reads novels a lot and is good at making up stories, already preparing a whole set of explanations.

Moreover... he even brought some agents, prepared to have Aoki Reiko submit through these if she noticed anything. At that time, even though she might deal with him after the fact, it would be too late; he would have taken advantage. It’s heard that Aoki Reiko never had a boyfriend, if he could become her boyfriend, wouldn’t he be the husband of the Aoki Group’s only legal heir, enjoying endless wealth for the rest of his life?

This is a risk worth taking, so Zhang Dabao even prepared for a desperate gamble, took out his savings from these years, went to a top hotel, and booked a top room. Anyway, it’s just two days; he’s put it all on the line.

Such an opportunity, such a woman, to encounter once in a lifetime, is a decisive adventure. If he doesn’t grasp it, Zhang Dabao might think of cutting himself several times.

Of course, this is just his one-sided idea. Aoki Reiko hesitated when she heard the suggestion to go directly to the hotel; it’s not appropriate for a woman to go to a man’s place, especially when meeting for the first time. Besides, Saint Mary, Li Yifei, and good friend Suzuki Kawako are all there; they can’t go to the hotel to see Mr. Mu Fei.

Of course, Aoki Reiko is not foolish; even if the person is Mr. Mu Fei, even if she can’t contain her feelings for Mr. Mu Fei, she wouldn’t just go meet him. So Aoki Reiko rejected the proposal and suggested a place for the meeting, where they could have a meal and chat.

About Aoki Reiko’s suggestion, Zhang Dabao was naturally displeased, as it increased the variables. However, after thinking about it, he agreed to the suggestion and promised to head there now.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dabao slapped the bed, returned the prepared agents to his suitcase. It’s better not to use them if possible; after all, it’s a last resort. The best plan is to win her over directly. Given Aoki Reiko’s obsession with Mr. Mu Fei, it shouldn’t be too difficult, right? What’s necessary is to act reasonably, and cover any inconsistency smoothly, explaining excuses clearly.

Zhang Dabao has decent looks, about 179cm tall, a squared face, specially designed a hairstyle with a bit of a fierce feel, somewhat resembling a warrior. His physique is also fine. For chasing girls during school, he went to the gym often, not excessively muscular but nicely built, with six-pack abs and adding some credibility to his appearance.

He found a set of high-priced suits bought earlier from the suitcase. Zhang Dabao put them on, along with leather shoes, ties, and even took out an imitation high-end watch for looks.

Before going out, he hesitated a bit and returned to take off the suit and remove the watch, suddenly realizing someone like Aoki Reiko would likely have seen all sorts of luxury goods. Donning such attire felt mismatched, better to wear casual sportswear for comfort. So, a few minutes later, Zhang Dabao went out wearing a Nike tracksuit, AJ basketball shoes, and a baseball cap, full of athletic vibes.

Meanwhile, Li Yifei and others arrived at the dining place first. It was a high-end club, but to the four, not an unusual place. Any of them could dine at such a place without trouble.

For Zhang Dabao, who spent years studying in Japan, even dining with mentors and partners, he’d never been to such a high-class place. When he took the taxi to the dining place and saw the setup, Zhang Dabao couldn’t help but clench his fists. This is real life, dining like this can be a few months or even a year’s salary for ordinary people.

"I must seize this opportunity, win over Aoki Reiko, and become a man above men!" Zhang Dabao told himself before entering.

"Sorry sir, this is a private club, do you have a membership card issued by us?" An impeccably dressed servant appeared before Zhang Dabao, blocking his way and politely asking.

Zhang Dabao stopped abruptly, slightly taken aback, instinctively feeling a bit guilty. His parents had some money, enough for studying and going abroad, but dining tens of thousands or more was impossible. After years in Japan’s socially stratified society, he was influenced, instinctively wanting to turn and leave.

Saying, "Sorry, I..." halfway through, Zhang Dabao suddenly remembered he was here to dine, meet Aoki Reiko, find the heir of one of Japan’s wealthiest families. So why should he leave?

After gathering his emotions, Zhang Dabao gained confidence, considering Aoki Reiko’s longing and affection for Mr. Mu Fei, coming to such a place, he could straighten his back, dismissing any concerns.

Therefore, Zhang Dabao puffed his chest, looked at the servant, and said emphatically, "I don’t have your membership card, but I’m invited by a friend to dine!"

When the servant heard, he quickly replied, "Sir, may I ask your friend’s name, we have records here!"

"Aoki Reiko," Zhang Dabao replied. Upon hearing this, the servant immediately changed his expression, smiling, and said, "Hello sir, indeed Miss Aoki Reiko is dining inside. However, we have a rule, so you need to wait a moment, I’ll let someone inform her."

"What’s this service of yours? If it weren’t for Reiko asking me to come here, I’d never come, yet you keep the guest waiting at the door, it’s really..." Zhang Dabao immediately said discontentedly.

"Sir, don’t be angry, it’s the rule, I can’t help it," the servant explained apologetically.

Zhang Dabao hummed a few times and waved, "Hurry up, give you a minute, or I’ll tell Aoki Reiko not to come here again." The servant quickly promised, although Aoki Reiko might not dine here once a year, her membership grade is the highest. As one of Japan’s wealthiest, this private club dare not neglect. Her visit is a huge endorsement, spreading in top circles, advertising Aoki Reiko often dining here is a great promotional effect.

Zhang Dabao touched his pocket, he’s a smoker, but to prevent dislike, he hadn’t smoked since waking up today and brushed his teeth four times for fresh breath.
