Chapter 1602: Chapter 1078: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven (Second Update)

“The cellphone.”

As she was about to leave, Tong Dan suddenly paused, turned around, and reached out her hand.

Lv Kaiyuan, who was stiffly sitting there, forced a smile more painful than a cry. He hurriedly picked up the Apple phone stuck in the ice bucket, wobbled to his feet with the help of his knees, and wiped it on his clothes before handing it over, his temples already overflowing with cold sweat.

Tong Dan cast an indifferent glance at him. Holding the phone, she left with Pan Yang, following the three US Army soldiers who shocked the entire store.

Stop them?

Stop my ass!

The US Army has come.

Go against the US Army?

Didn’t you see even Takagi Shouji was personally seeing them off?

The Yamaguchi-gumi is powerful, but any sane person knows a gang can’t compare to a military force.

Especially when it’s the world’s number one US Army.

As a new colony of the Beautiful Country, not to mention violent organizations like the Yamaguchi-gumi, even the Japan Government has to nod and bow.

“Brother Lv, what’s… what’s going on?”

The thrill was scared away, but the mind was still muddled.

Not until Tong Dan and others walked away did the previously high-spirited Lv Kaiyuan slump down in a chair, lost, staring at the direction Tong Dan left, unable to respond to his deputy’s question.

What’s going on?

How would he know!

Everyone knew Tong Dan knew some high-ranking officials’ children, but damn, this is Tokyo!

What kind of connections could make the US Army intervene to rescue someone?

The more Lv Kaiyuan thought about it, the more he sweated; the clearer he became, the more he involuntarily shivered, his face visibly transforming from flushed to corpse-like pale.

Why do they always say to think thrice before acting?

Impulsiveness is the devil!

If Tong Dan reports them after returning home, losing their jobs is a sure thing, not to mention the possibility of facing jail time for coercing others into drug use!

Lv Kaiyuan covered his heart with his hand, scaring the vice driver beside him, worried that he was overstimulated by drug use, “Brother Lv, are you all right…”

“Bang.”

The door of the military jeep closed.

The US Army lieutenant ignored Takagi Shouji standing outside the car and ordered the subordinate to drive.

The eye-catching military jeep started and drove out of the parking lot.

Don’t even mention a military vehicle,

most people may never even have the chance to sit in a police car in their lives.

Tong Dan was no exception.

Not to mention others, even she was just pretending to be calm when in fact, her mind was buzzing and had long stopped working.

It wasn’t until the US Army lieutenant spoke that she reacted.

“Miss Tong Dan, where to?”

“Oh…”

She turned her head and asked the equally dazed Pan Yang, “Where are you staying?”

“Mitsui Garden Hotel.”

Tong Dan quickly told the divinely descending US Army lieutenant in fluent English, “To Mitsui Garden Hotel, please.”

The US Army lieutenant nodded, sat upright on the seat, and quieted down.

“Miss Tong…”

Pan Yang hesitated, but he wasn’t foolish. He had only taken one puff of marijuana, and the rest burned uselessly while Lv Kaiyuan and the others weren’t paying attention, so the effects had largely faded by now.

Tong Dan knew what he was going to say, “It has nothing to do with me. I’m just an ordinary citizen, not so influential.”

She quickly whispered, also speaking in Chinese to avoid being overheard.

“Then…”

Undoubtedly, everything that happened tonight had been a series of shocks to Pan Yang’s worldview until the appearance of the US Army completely shattered his beliefs.

Is this still the world he knows?

“It should be… my friend called them,”

Tong Dan said softly.

These US Army soldiers were obviously here to rescue her.

Besides Fang Qing and Jiang Chen, she couldn’t think of any other possibilities.

“If I didn’t mistake the rank of that US soldier, he should be a lieutenant. Miss Tong, what does your friend do?”

Pan Yang still couldn’t help but ask.

“Actually, I don’t really know him well either.”

It wasn’t a lie.

It was the truth.

Although they attended the same high school, she actually didn’t know Jiang Chen well after he sent Fang Qing a Maserati; the Jiang Chen she knew was a memory of the past.

After speaking, Tong Dan couldn’t help but pick up her phone.

Being the world’s number one phone brand indeed, its waterproof function was excellent. After being in the ice bucket for so long, it wasn’t affected at all.

The screen lit up, showing all sorts of responses to the group text message she sent.

“I have discovered oil here.”

Tong Dan involuntarily looked up at the living, breathing US soldiers inside the vehicle.

The more she couldn’t figure out the mystery inside.

Soldiers, worthy of being soldiers, remained silent and stern, completing the task of delivering the target to the specified location.

Mitsui Garden Hotel.

Tong Dan and Pan Yang were dropped off.

“Thank you.”

The military jeep drove away under the gazes of passersby.

Standing by the roadside, Tong Dan finally exhaled, feeling much lighter.

“Miss Tong, why didn’t you have them drive you home?”

Pan Yang asked, as he stayed here while she didn’t. He never liked to delude himself into thinking his brave deeds won the affection of others tonight, especially as he was no hero, more like a coward.

“I can take a cab myself.”

The feeling of sitting in a military vehicle was certainly unusual, but it was still uncomfortable. Tong Dan looked at her blind date, pursed her lips, feeling somewhat guilty and self-reproachful, “Sorry about tonight.”

“It’s okay.”

Pan Yang grinned nonchalantly, “Consider it a learning experience. I’d never seen drugs before, now I can at least identify them.”

“Are you feeling okay? Anything uncomfortable?”

Tong Dan asked with concern.

Pan Yang shook his head, “Just a bit of dizziness like being drunk. Otherwise, nothing much. If I feel anything later, I’ll reach out to Miss Tong; you would take me to the hospital if needed, right?”

Tong Dan smiled knowingly, looked at him for a moment, and then extended her pale hand.

“Nice to meet you.”

Pan Yang smiled back, extending his hand to shake hers, “Thanks to Miss Tong for a thrilling night.”

They exchanged smiles.

“Well, you should head in.”

Tong Dan lowered her hand.

If he were a man with high emotional intelligence, he’d probably take the chance to invite her up, but Pan Yang didn’t, missing the opportunity to seize the moment and draw closer, “Alright, let me hail a cab for Miss Tong first.”

While not the most socially adept, he at least understood chivalry.

He waved to stop a cab, only to be repeatedly cut off by others. It took several minutes before he successfully hailed one for Tong Dan.

“Miss Tong, please get in the car.”

He opened the car door.

“If you feel uncomfortable…”

Tong Dan made a phone gesture.

Pan Yang nodded.

Tong Dan bent over and got into the car.

Pan Yang closed the car door and waved from outside.

“Peninsula Hotel.”

The taxi started moving.

Watching the taxi drive off into the distance, Pan Yang lowered his hand, turned around, and walked towards the hotel as his phone started ringing.

“Mom, yeah, I’ve met her. She’s nice, not only pretty but also has a good character. Confess? Mom, you exaggerate! We’ve just met, plus your son might not be a match for her…”

Pan Yang held the phone as he walked into the hotel.

He wondered if he would retreat in the face of difficulties.

But Tong the Beauty’s intention tonight to leave a bad impression was likely a failure.
