Chapter 1,336 Takeda Pharmaceutical’s Server

At the entrance of the New Otani Hotel, well-dressed guests were leaving one after another.

Many people were glowing because they had signed a big deal, and many were upset that Jiang Chen left too quickly. Under the streetlight outside the main entrance, Mitsui Hongyuan stood next to the black car like a sculpture, squinting and staring in the direction where the Star Ring trade convoy left.

The bodyguard opened the car door for him and stepped aside respectfully.

Standing behind Mitsui Hongyuan, the secretary wearing black-rimmed glasses saw that his boss had not moved for a long time, took half a step forward, and reminded him softly.

"President, the car is ready for you."

The silence lasted for a while, until the few car lights disappeared at the end of the street. Mitsui Hongyuan seemed to have made up his mind and nodded slowly.

"Um."

…

Being targeted by someone from CIA?

A look of interest appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.

For what reason would the CIA waste its energy on the eldest son of a consortium? Although the Sumitomo Foundation cooperates on global power grid projects, it is purely an economic transaction. He does not think there is anything worthy of attracting the attention of Americans.

"Keep talking." Jiang Chen leaned on his seat and said softly.

Taking a deep breath, Sumitomo Kenichi sorted out the words in his mind and spoke.

"Remember the disaster two and a half years ago?"

"Of course," Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said softly, "I'm afraid no one in this world will forget the disaster that day."

Two and a half years ago, a biochemical crisis broke out in Shinagawa District, Tokyo. Hundreds of thousands of people were directly or indirectly infected by the TT virus and became the living dead. Following the Cagayan City tragedy, it once again set off a global panic.

It was also from that time that the word Takeda Pharmaceuticals and the Japanese authorities were pushed to the forefront of public opinion. Abe, who was still seeking re-election through constitutional amendment, took the blame and resigned and was imprisoned a year later. Especially the speech of Tanaka, the leader of the Black Ships, made the whole world recognize the word "Black Ships" and made the word surpass the Taliban and become the world's number one terrorist organization.

Later, that incident and the previous massacre in Cagayan City, as well as the subsequent Finnish Brood Incident,

Together they are generally considered to be the third unpleasant encounter between earth civilization and extraterrestrial civilization. To a certain extent, it indirectly promoted the establishment of the Earth Defense Alliance.

"That's exactly what I want to say," Sumitomo Kenichi looked at Jiang Chen solemnly and recounted the whole story, "Just two months ago..."

Here's the thing.

Just two months ago, a Sumitomo Group cargo ship that was about to be shipped from Nagasaki Port to Los Angeles was detained by customs at the Nagasaki Port on the grounds that suspected goods that were listed as prohibited items were found on board. Sumitomo Kenichi, who was in charge of handling this matter at the time, felt very strange because after being the president of Sumitomo Line for so many years, this was the first time he heard that his freighter had been detained by customs due to transporting embargoed items.

It wasn't until he went to the scene later to learn about the situation that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"What exactly is in the container that was found to be problematic?" Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.

"It's just a bunch of old servers, but the problem lies in these servers." At this point, Sumitomo Kenichi's expression was a bit dumbfounded. "Those servers are none other than one of the assets that were sold off by banks when Takeda Pharmaceutical went bankrupt. According to reliable information, these servers come from a laboratory code-named 'Dark'. I believe you can guess where that place is without me saying more."

"The 'birthplace' of the T-virus?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

"That's right." Sumitomo Kenichi nodded with difficulty.

At that time, Kurofune issued a declaration of war on all mankind. In order to prevent Takeda Pharmaceutical from producing antidotes based on his research results, Tanaka formatted all the servers in the laboratory after taking the virus samples away from the laboratory.

At that time, due to various reasons such as the chaotic management of the Tokyo city government and the resignation of the ruling party, after Takeda Pharmaceutical was seized, these servers were inexplicably labeled as auction assets together with other things. They were used by a company engaged in import and export trade two years ago. After buying the company, it disappeared as if it had evaporated.

Sumitomo Kenichi never imagined that these servers would appear on his own freighter.

"Why are the Ccia people targeting you?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.

"At that time, I thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing, so I bribed the customs. Before the customs reported the goods involved, I unpacked the container and replaced it with a new server that had no problem, and prepared to mix in the batch of old ones. The server handled it. But I didn't expect..." At this point, Sumitomo Kenichi's smile showed a hint of bitterness, "I escaped the prosecution of the customs, but I did not escape the eyes of the CIA."

After listening to Sumitomo Kenichi's description, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

Strictly speaking, these servers must be harmless, after all, all data has been formatted. However, there is still a hidden danger here, that is, if someone uses special technical means to try to restore the deleted data in the server, there is still a certain probability that the data can be recovered.

Now, someone has mixed this batch of servers on a freighter sent by the Sumitomo Group to Los Angeles, which is a bit worth pondering.

The Black Ship Organization has been reduced to little shrimps fighting on their own. They are like rats crossing the street under the demands of various countries and ghost agents. They cannot protect themselves. Jiang Chen does not believe that they still have such powerful abilities and is trying to revive with the help of the legacy left by Tanaka.

As for another possibility...

This batch of servers that was supposed to be sent to Los Angeles was originally the work of CIA.

"Where are these servers now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It has been taken away by people from CIA." A bitter smile appeared on Sumitomo Kenichi's face, "Originally, I thought that they would just take away the server, but I didn't expect that not long after, my bodyguard was there. Bugs and locators were found in my bedroom and car. I don’t know what they wanted to do, but I dare say they definitely didn’t intend to do anything good..."

"That's right," Jiang Chen smiled and said in a teasing tone, "I bet that if you were just a little-known person, you would have been fished out of the stinking ditch by the Tokyo police."

"This joke is not funny." Sumitomo Kenichi said with an ugly face.

"I'm not kidding you," Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a smile, "If I were the CIA, you might have been silenced... So, are there any other clues?"

"When I first discovered the bugs, I hired a private investigator to trace the origin of those servers. I wanted to know who mixed those things in my container, and in the end I found something unexpected."

"what have you found?"

"Lu Chuan Electronics, sent these servers to the supplier in Los Angeles," Kenichi Sumitomo took a deep breath. "When the private investigator I hired investigated their assets, they found that the people behind them were——"

"It's the Mitsui Consortium, right?" Jiang Chen grinned.

Sumitomo Kenichi's eyes widened and he looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"Jiang Chenjun, you are——"

"You want to ask me how I know, right?" Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, raised his chin, and pointed to him in the direction of the rearview mirror with his eyes, "Don't think I'm just a businessman, I've experienced so much Well, I think my anti-investigation capabilities are quite strong."

This Mitsui Hongyuan's mentality is good enough, and he dares to follow him?

As he spoke, Jiang Chen reached out and clicked on the holographic screen of his watch, edited a text message and sent it to Hill, the person in charge of Ghost Agent in Japan. At the same time, he said to Sumitomo Kenichi who was restless at the side, "Starting tomorrow. At first, I will send people to protect your safety secretly. As for the rest, you don’t need to do anything for the time being. When I need you, just cooperate with me."

"Thank you." Sumitomo Kenichi said gratefully.

"You're welcome," Jiang Chen smiled and said softly, "Where you want to go, if it's not far, I can ask my driver to give you a ride. Of course, if I were you, I would choose to be here immediately get off."
