"Don't worry, the provincial leadership doesn't want the regiment commander to die unnaturally either. Therefore, the provincial hospital will cooperate fully in issuing a normal death certificate. Not only that, but they will also meticulously transform the gunshot wound into a surgical trauma."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"This is possible too?"
The deputy regiment commander felt dizzy.
"In the arena of power, it's very normal."
Chen Feng replied with a smile.
"Chen Feng, I've truly witnessed something today. I never imagined the arena of power to be like this. It's too astonishing."
The deputy regiment commander sighed.
"Wherever there are benefits in the arena of power, you can't think of many things with normal logic,"
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Chen Feng, don't worry. Although I don't know how to navigate the arena of power, with a seasoned expert like you, I have nothing to fear. I'll do as you arrange."
The deputy regiment commander said excitedly.
"Alright, then you hurry and do as I said. I'll go find the princess."
After speaking, Chen Feng went to find the little Japanese princess.
"What? You killed the regiment commander?"
The little Japanese princess asked in astonishment.
"I didn't intend to kill the regiment commander; dealing with the aftermath would have been too troublesome. But the problem was, the regiment commander was dead set on killing me, so I had no choice but to kill him."
Chen Feng explained truthfully.
"Self-defense, it's not a big problem. But the issue is, the regiment commander wasn't an ordinary person. Now that he's dead, how do we handle the aftermath?"
The little Japanese princess asked worriedly.
Chen Feng didn't keep her in suspense and directly explained his method.
"This can be done. Chen Feng, honestly, you're too calm. If it were me, and I had killed the regiment commander, I would have been in a complete panic."
The little Japanese princess looked at Chen Feng with admiration.
"Your Highness, my calmness isn't innate; it's something I've developed from spending a long time in the arena of power. But speaking of which, Your Highness, I thought you would be very angry when I told you I killed the regiment commander, angry that a Chinese man dared to kill a Japanese person."
Chen Feng said with a serious expression.
"Chen Feng, although I'm young, I have normal values. The regiment commander not only wanted to kill the deputy regiment commander but also wanted to kill you. Such a person dying is fitting retribution. However, to be honest, when you first told me you killed the regiment commander, I was really panicked. The regiment commander was no ordinary person, and without a very good reason, it would be hard to explain. Fortunately, you've already found a solution, and the stone in my heart has finally been lifted."
The little Japanese princess continued to look at Chen Feng with admiration.
"Your Highness, the matter of the regiment commander has been well resolved. In a few days, you can return to Japan. However, before returning to Japan, we still need to put on a show."
Chen Feng said, seizing the opportunity.
"A show? The regiment commander's matter is resolved, so why do we need to act?"
The little Japanese princess asked, perplexed.
"There are two reasons. First, the regiment commander's death must not let anyone know that you and I are on very good terms. Otherwise, they will easily suspect that the regiment commander might have met an unnatural end, and then you would have helped me clear my name. Second, the Japanese Imperial family must also not know that you and I are on very good terms, otherwise, the royal family members will constantly trouble you. Therefore, we must act as if our relationship is very strained."
Chen Feng patiently explained.
"Chen Feng, you truly are someone who has been through the wringer in the arena of power; your thinking is so thorough! As long as Japan knows our relationship is strained, they won't have any doubts about the regiment commander's death. By the way, Chen Feng, do you have any ideas on how to make people believe our relationship is strained?"
The little Japanese princess asked excitedly.
"It's simple. Tomorrow, the provincial city will host a farewell banquet for your Japanese investment delegation. At the banquet, just find an excuse to publicly humiliate me, the harsher the better. This way, everyone will instinctively believe that our relationship is very strained."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Do we really have to do this?"
The little Japanese princess asked with a pang of reluctance in her heart.
Although due to the political marriage arranged by the Japanese Imperial family, she and Chen Feng could not be together, Chen Feng was her first man. She couldn't bear to curse him even a million times, let alone do it for a show.
"Your Highness, I know you are beautiful and kind, and you find it hard to do this. But it's necessary. Otherwise, with the regiment commander's death, you won't be able to escape suspicion. Although I am not qualified to marry you, you are my woman, and I cannot bear to see you suffer any harm, nor will I allow it."
Chen Feng said with sincere honesty.
"Chen Feng, you're too foolish. I'm not your wife, so is it necessary to protect me like this?"
The little Japanese princess was deeply moved.
Chinese men are indeed ten thousand times warmer than Japanese men.
Japanese men are notoriously direct.
"Your Highness, didn't I say before? Although we can't become husband and wife, you gave me your most precious body, and you are my woman. Since you are my woman, I have the responsibility to protect her. By the way, Your Highness, to make the act more convincing, you not only have to scold me at the banquet but also slap me."
Chen Feng said earnestly.
"What? Slap you too? No, absolutely not. I can't even bear to scold you, let alone slap you? Chen Feng, your intention is more than enough for me. You really don't need to sacrifice so much for me."
The little Japanese princess said, her voice choked with emotion.
"Your Highness, your status is noble, and your future is boundless. You absolutely cannot be implicated by me. If you don't agree, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Chen Feng continued to explain sincerely.
"Alright, then I'll slap you lightly."
The little Japanese princess said, deeply touched.
"You can't slap me lightly. There will be so many people at the banquet. If you slap me lightly, everyone will see that we're acting. This way, people will suspect even more that you're involved in the regiment commander's death."
"But you are my man, the only man in my heart for a lifetime, and I truly can't bear to hit you."
The little Japanese princess continued to say, her voice choked.
"Since you can't bear to do it, then let your bodyguard hit me."
Chen Feng said, using a tactic of advancing by retreating.
"What? Let the Japanese Imperial guards hit you? That's definitely not possible. Forget it, I'll hit you."
The little Japanese princess was stunned for a moment, then still reluctantly made a decision.
She was a woman; no matter how hard she hit, it would only be that much.
However, if the Imperial guards were to act, it wouldn't be just a slap; it would likely mean losing half her life.
To compensate for slapping Chen Feng tomorrow, the little Japanese princess decided to sleep with this excellent Chinese man again before returning to Japan.
This time sleeping together, they likely wouldn't see each other again in their lifetime.
Chen Feng did not refuse. For a noble woman like the little Japanese princess to proactively suggest sleeping with you, refusing would be very hurtful to her.
Time passed quickly. The next day, the farewell banquet hosted by the provincial city for the Japanese investment delegation was held as scheduled.
According to the plan, Chen Feng deliberately bumped into the little Japanese princess.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness."
Chen Feng apologized, feigning a trembling demeanor.
"No..."
She subconsciously prepared to say it was alright, but Chen Feng quickly gave her a look.
"How could you be so careless? My very expensive evening gown is ruined by you..."
The little Japanese princess pretended to be very angry and rebuked Chen Feng.
"Your Highness, I am truly sorry. The evening gown is ruined, I will compensate you."
Chen Feng continued to apologize, feigning a trembling demeanor.
The little Japanese princess was hesitating whether to slap Chen Feng as planned when suddenly, a Chinese man from her side darted out and, without any preamble, slapped Chen Feng...
