"Finally, regarding our departure and retreat. Considering the time and distance, Eel No. 2 and I will be at the station near your house at exactly 4 o'clock in the morning. We will then depart for the Yasaka Shrine." (Manranyama Canglian)
"The reason we are not directly stopping at your house is because we are concerned about Bai Yaxin monitoring you. Therefore, when you leave the Uesugi family in the early morning, please make sure to act as discreetly as possible." (Manranyama Canglian)
"Alright." (Chongzong)
"Mhmm." (Uesugi Yui)
Manranyama Canglian calmly elaborated on the action plan, while Chongzong and Uesugi Yui nodded frequently.
"Our operation is estimated to be completed within half an hour. At that time, we will gather at the designated drop-off point and then leave by car." (Manranyama Canglian)
"If, unfortunately, any unforeseen circumstances occur..." (Manranyama Canglian)
At this point, Manranyama Canglian paused, furrowing his brows, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.
"Then we'll have to adapt on the spot together." (Manranyama Canglian)
"Does anyone have any questions or additional information?" (Manranyama Canglian)
"I have a question." (Chongzong)
As soon as Chongzong spoke, Manranyama Canglian interrupted him and clarified.
"It's Eel Rice Operation, please take note, not Eel No. 1." (Manranyama Canglian)
Manranyama Canglian interrupted Chongzong's statement and gestured for him to continue.
Honestly, Chongzong felt a bit speechless, but he was indeed in the wrong, so he didn't say anything.
"The core objective of our Eel Rice Operation is to obtain evidence of Bai Yaxin's crimes. However, I don't understand the financial-related documents, so how am I supposed to judge them? It's impossible to bring out all the materials." (Chongzong)
"Yes, that's why I arranged for Eel No. 2 to accompany you. Although she is not as skilled in combat as you, she is the best at identifying materials." (Manranyama Canglian)
Manranyama Canglian's answer matched Chongzong's expectations. It seemed that Van was assigned for this specific purpose.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Van - Eel No. 2." (Chongzong)
Almost about to say the wrong thing, Chongzong quickly corrected himself.
"Okay." (Van)
Van nodded lightly in agreement. It seemed casual, but her tone exuded absolute confidence.
With Van by his side, Chongzong felt more at ease. He didn't humbly decline; when it came to financial matters, he was a complete outsider.
"Are there any other questions?" (Manranyama Canglian)
"Well... I also have a question." (Uesugi Yui)
After hesitating for a moment, Uesugi Yui cautiously raised her doubts.
"We've been discussing smoothly, but what backup plans do we have in case of contingencies? PLAN B, PLAN C, and besides the four of us, who else can come to our aid?" (Uesugi Yui)
Upon hearing Uesugi Yui's question, everyone's expressions turned grave.
There were no surprises or astonishment, which meant that everyone had already considered the matter Uesugi Yui was asking about.
However, no one asked, and no one was eager to answer. Their expressions were heavy, indicating that although everyone had thought about it, the answer to this question was not promising.
