I would like to request a day off. Please approve!

Chapter 1,396

Intelligence gathering is complete.

Now it's time to unleash the full force.

Chen En checked the information he, Kusakabe Makoto, and Akai Shuichi had collected one last time to make sure there were no errors or omissions.

He then decided on the objective of this operation.

It's time to close the net.

Logically speaking, these members of the shadow cabinet might be allowed to stay longer.

After all, they were already able to monitor the internal communications of the Shadow Cabinet members and thereby obtain subsequent intelligence about the Shadow Cabinet.

But Chen En felt that this was unrealistic.

As the saying goes, delay can lead to unforeseen changes.

If he delays taking action against the Shadow Cabinet members, it may lead to other unforeseen events.

For example, the existence of Shuichi Akai and Makoto Kusakabe might be exposed as a result.

Furthermore, he also confirmed one thing through the meeting's content: the Shadow Cabinet actually only stipulated the scope of the assassins' actions.

The killer's specific plan has not been determined.

In other words, even if the shadow cabinet members were allowed to stay longer, it would be impossible for them to discuss the specific plans at the meeting.

They are a bunch of laymen.

Moreover, these laymen know they are novices in this field, so they won't offer guidance to the experts.

Therefore, in Chen En's view, delaying the resolution of the Shadow Cabinet members would not bring him any additional benefits.

It will only make things more complicated.

Make a decisive move when necessary, and resolve the issue swiftly.

Chen En made up his mind.

The list was immediately copied and sent to the Japanese Public Security Bureau and intelligence organizations such as the FBI.

He took action immediately.

Suddenly, the optically stealthy Bat fighter jet accelerated.

They moved quickly toward their target location.

……

Meanwhile, at the United States military base.

The high-ranking officer at the military base whose identity was discovered by Shuichi Akai and who has been captured.

At this moment, he slowly woke up.

After being alerted by Shuichi Akai, FBI agents arrived at the military base and, after reporting the situation, prepared to arrest the suspect.

The senior officer at the military base remained calm, but he knew he probably had no chance of escaping.

But who exactly is the person who interrogated him about the Shadow Cabinet's plans and knocked him unconscious...?

He already knows.

It was probably a senior FBI investigator who, after discovering his suspicious behavior, specifically infiltrated the base.

We're just waiting for him to participate in the internal meeting.

Take this opportunity to find his weakness and capture him directly...

FBI members then pushed the door open and entered.

Their gaze fell on this high-ranking officer at the military base, and after comparing his appearance with a fax, they immediately prepared to take him away.

The high-ranking officers at the garrison base also lunged to the side without hesitation.

Such resistance is clearly futile.

Two FBI agents immediately stepped forward and pinned him down, preparing to take him directly back.

However, what they didn't discover was...

Hidden within the rooms of high-ranking officers at the military base is a special device for making calls.

The actions of the high command at the garrison base were not an attempt to rebel, but rather an attempt to inform other members of the Shadow Cabinet about the emergency situation.

He wasn't worried about being caught by the FBI.

Because he is a member of the Shadow Cabinet, as long as the Shadow Cabinet exists, he will be bailed out sooner or later, just like Takahashi was bailed out.

After all, if they can avoid rescuing him, a high-ranking officer at the military base, they won't bother rescuing anyone else later.

But if the FBI is targeting the entire Shadow Cabinet...

If he doesn't inform the Shadow Cabinet about the crisis now, and the Shadow Cabinet is wiped out, he'll be finished too.

When the high-ranking officers at the military base were being forced to move out of the base by other FBI members.

I couldn't help but think about it.

Hopefully, the other members of the Shadow Cabinet will react more shrewdly this time.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

……

The captured high-ranking officer from the military base immediately transmitted the information.

Other members of the shadow cabinet, who had just finished their meeting, also immediately noticed the signs of an impending crisis.

For a moment, they were taken aback.

Takahashi hasn't been released yet, so how come another member of the Shadow Cabinet is facing an emergency for unknown reasons?

Could it be that someone is specifically targeting members of their shadow cabinet?

The other members of the Shadow Cabinet immediately prepared to mobilize their forces to investigate what was going on at the military base.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

Tonight, their acquaintances brought the news, informing them that the Japanese Public Security Bureau had begun operations.

It's as if they've obtained some reliable information.

The members of the shadow cabinet then realized...

They have probably been exposed.

The Japanese Public Security Bureau's deployment this time is most likely aimed at them!

We must take immediate action.

Although the Japanese Public Security Bureau, as the country's intelligence organization, has never needed any reason to arrest people.

And in this country, everyone is equal.

Given that the Japanese public security officers were coming to arrest them, they should have had no choice but to surrender...

But reality doesn't always follow reason.

In this country, the vast majority of ordinary people are indeed equal, but the powerful and wealthy are even more equal than those ordinary people.

Each member of the shadow cabinet is at least a high-ranking official in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and they are all powerful figures who can mobilize their influence.

How could the Japanese police arrest someone just like that?

Although it is now too late to hold another meeting and contact other shadow cabinet members.

However, each of them has enough personal connections and relationships to get through the upcoming hurdle of dealing with the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

However, what they didn't know was...

As an official organization of the country, Japan's public security bureau can indeed be easily bypassed.

But what about the Dark Knight of Tokyo?

……

At the home of a member of the shadow cabinet, he picked up the phone and quickly explained his situation to an official he knew.

The official on the other end of the phone took on all the responsibility.

I agreed immediately.

He had already received the promised benefits from this shadow cabinet member, so he would naturally do his utmost to help.

Isn't it just that the Japanese police want to arrest people?

If it's something serious, then he probably can't really help.

However, the Japanese Public Security Bureau reportedly only received information from an informant whose name and information could not be revealed.

There is absolutely no concrete evidence.

If they want to arrest someone under these circumstances, they have every means to intervene.

For these officials, it was an extremely simple matter.

However, just as this member of the shadow cabinet was beginning to feel at ease.

He felt that his connections and relationships should be able to resolve the matter directly.

But what he never expected was...

A figure had already quietly appeared behind him.

This shadow cabinet member was just about to hang up the phone and then go have a few glasses of red wine to enjoy a high-end lifestyle.
