Jing Tian Xiaocijiro went mad overnight, which shocked everyone. And there was even better news: the other party requested to renegotiate.
"Hua Thirty-Five! This is your masterpiece, isn't it?" the ambassador asked suspiciously.
"Ambassador! I didn't even leave the embassy last night. Besides, I don't even know where Xiaocijiro lives. What could I have done?" Ye Shisan shrugged.
"Never mind that. This is a good thing for us. This negotiation might succeed!" the old man said with a slight smile, glancing at Ye Shisan. Who would believe it was a coincidence? Moreover, he guessed that this negotiation would go smoothly.
As expected, negotiations resumed soon and went very smoothly. They negotiated in the morning and returned by plane in the afternoon.
"Young man! You are promising." On the way back, Lu Fan received a meaningful compliment. This made Hua Liu and others envious. This kid had made a great contribution on his first mission. He would surely be rewarded handsomely upon his return.
Especially Hua Liu and Hua Jiu, who were the earliest veterans in Ronghua Mansion, were extremely impressed by Lu Fan's performance.
Indeed, as soon as everyone returned to Ronghua Mansion, Hua Laoda personally led them out to greet them. However, Lu Fan noticed that Hua Twenty-Three was still sitting there drinking tea. Seeing Lu Fan's gaze, he waved his hand in greeting.
"Hua Thirty-Five! You've brought honor to Ronghua Mansion this time. You've received praise from above. These Qi and Blood Pills are specifically for you and will be very helpful." Hua Laoda took out a small bottle containing five pills, Qi and Blood Pills. It was said that they could quickly restore stamina during combat.
Those around immediately cast envious glances. This was essentially a full recovery, a chance for rebirth. When injured or exhausted, one pill would instantly bring them back to life, as if resurrected from the dead. Even in Ronghua Mansion, they were very precious!
Lu Fan took the pills, opened the small bottle, sniffed them, and casually handed them to Hua Liu: "The mission was done together, and the credit belongs to everyone. Take them and distribute them among everyone."
Everyone around was stunned.
"Really... really?" Hua Liu asked in surprise. This precious item, and this kid was giving it to everyone to share? Was this kid still half asleep?
"Of course, it's true! I'm giving you my share." Lu Fan said and then left.
"Arrogant! Too arrogant! He doesn't even care about Ronghua Mansion's Qi and Blood Pills." Someone nearby said indignantly.
"That's because he has something better than this. Humph!" At this moment, Hua Twenty-Three, who had been drinking tea in the pavilion from afar, spoke up.
"He has something better than Qi and Blood Pills?" Hua Laoda's eyes widened in surprise.
"He didn't want Ronghua Mansion's Guben Pills or Qi and Blood Pills. Because he has something even better, a pill that can improve one's cultivation level," Hua Twenty-Three said calmly. He had taken the pills Lu Fan gave him and knew their marvelous effects. Those pills were incomparable to the ones from Ronghua Mansion.
Lu Fan ignored the discussions around him and returned to his small courtyard. He changed out of his mission clothes, put them on the bed, and then put on his own clothes. He then left the courtyard again.
"Hua Thirty-Five, are you going out again?" Seeing Lu Fan about to leave, everyone standing at the door asked.
"Of course, I'm leaving! I'm only twenty years old. Am I supposed to stay here and enjoy my old age with you hundred-year-old folks? Humph!" Lu Fan said and strode away.
"Twenty-Three! Twenty-Three! Quickly tell us, what good things does this kid have?" Swish... a group of people surrounded Hua Twenty-Three and asked him incessantly.
Lu Fan paid no attention to this. He left Ronghua Mansion and drove straight to the provincial capital. The car sped along, and by the time they reached the provincial capital, it was already midnight. Lu Fan headed straight for the provincial airport. Liu Ruyan was waiting there.
"Xiao Fan! Here are your passport and plane ticket." Seeing Lu Fan, Liu Ruyan directly shoved a packet of things into his hand.
"Ruyan! Thank you for your hard work." Lu Fan said, looking at Liu Ruyan.
"It's you who's working hard, returning just to rush off again. Do you really have to do this?" Liu Ruyan said with some concern.
"Some things must be done. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You can drive my car back now." Lu Fan said and then entered the departure hall with his passport and ticket.
Liu Ruyan watched Lu Fan's figure disappear before turning to drive Lu Fan's car back.
At this moment, Lu Fan had already boarded the plane to Japan.
Lu Fan had not told the ambassador the truth. Jing Tian Xiaocijiro was not the person he truly wanted to find. The person he wanted to find was Tanaka Meizi. While searching for Jing Tian Xiaocijiro's information, Lu Fan accidentally came across the name Tanaka Meizi. This woman was Xiaocijiro's wife.
However, from the attack by a strong individual as soon as he arrived at the airport, then encountering eight strong individuals attempting to assassinate him at night, and finally the convoy being surrounded... regarding these incidents, Lu Fan had doubts about the ambassador's attitude or capabilities. Therefore, he did not tell the truth, only using Xiaocijiro as a test.
Lu Fan's return this time was to find Tanaka Meizi and see if he could find that list.
On the plane, Lu Fan had transformed into someone else, a slightly hunched old man. With the Yan family's Breath Concealment Art, no one would have thought that such an old man could be Lu Fan.
By the time the plane landed, it was already morning. Lu Fan got off the plane and walked out of the airport with a shaky gait. He then waved for a taxi and told the driver his destination in Japanese, which he had only recently learned.
In the taxi, the driver was talkative, but Lu Fan leaned back in his seat and fell asleep, pretending not to hear anything the driver said. Because even if he heard it, he wouldn't understand it.
When the car stopped, Lu Fan was woken up by the driver. Lu Fan immediately came to his senses, took out the Japanese yen prepared by Liu Ruyan, paid the fare, and got out of the car.
There was still some distance to Jing Tian Xiaocijiro's large villa, but Lu Fan knew he had to find a way to get there. Not only could taxis not get close, but even approaching was difficult.
Lu Fan put on a new human skin mask, instantly transforming into a middle-aged man around fifty years old, and walked towards Jing Tian Xiaocijiro's large villa.
At Jing Tian Xiaocijiro's residence, people were coming and going continuously. After an incident involving someone of his stature, things naturally wouldn't be calm. Lu Fan didn't hesitate and followed a group of people into the villa.
