Yahiko's words alerted Charlie.
He asked, "Mr. Ito, do you know the Nippon Steel President well?” 1
"Yes!" Yahiko answered seriously, "The name of the Nippon Steel President is Watanabe Shinwa, and we have a deep friendship."
Charlie nodded and said, "Can you ask whether he has worked together with any Oskian companies recently? If yes, please ask him for the name of that company."
Yahiko immediately replied, "Alright, Mr. Wade. I’ll ask him now."
Jasmine hurriedly asked Charlie, "Master Wade, do you think that there's something wrong with Mr.
Watanabe?"
Charlie shook his head and answered, "One is Watanabe Shinwa, the other is the vice president who asked you to meet Watanabe. Both of them are suspects. However, I'm not sure who it is. It could also be that both of them are innocent, or both of them are guilty."
Jasmine gently nodded her head and did not say much.
This was because she was very clear in her heart that
this situation was not within her control. Since Charlie had come to Japan because of her, she would listen to him and follow his arrangements.
When Yahiko heard that there might be a problem, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Mr. Wade, I know Watanabe very well. Although he is sly in business dealings, he has integrity. I believe he has no connection to the attempted murder of Ms.
Moore." 1
Charlie smiled and replied, "Mr. Ito, I trust you. However, many lives were lost in this accident. Thus, we need to be more careful. Please help me ask Mr. Watanabe. Also, be natural when you're asking him about this. Don't let him know your intentions." 5
Yahiko nodded and took out his phone. He found Watanabe’s phone number and called him.
The call went through swiftly, and a lazy voice was heard, "Hey, Ito, you b*stard, why are you calling me at this hour?"
Yahiko chuckled, "Then, let me thank you in advance first. How about Hashimoto? Has he decided on a working partner? If he has already decided, it won't be appropriate for me to suddenly interfere.”
Watanabe didn't care and replied, "You don't need to worry about Hashimoto's side. He is indeed a high-ranking employee. If I don't intervene, he’ll make the decisions. But if I do intervene, he'd still need to obey _ . H me.
Yahiko laughed, "Alright, I know. Let me ask my friends first. If there's a need, I will keep in touch with
you.” 2
Watanabe uttered, "Anything else? If not, I'll hang up the phone and continue my sleep!"
"Okay, go ahead and sleep!" i
After hanging up the phone, Yahiko said to Charlie, ”M r. Wade, it looks like Watanabe doesn’t know about this. He didn’t even ask about the partnership discussion between Ms. Moore and Hashimoto. How could he be part of a plan to murder Ms. Moore, then?"
