Tawanna was taken aback when Fei Kexin initiated a conversation about charity. Assuming that her connection with Charlie Wade might be the reason, she spected that Fei Kexin intended to target her. However, feeling hesitant to confront Fei Kexin, she replied awkwardly, “Yes… I’ve participated in some charity activities… but I didn’t do it very well. It’s not impressive enough to be highlighted… I apologize for possibly embarrassing you, Miss Fei…”
Fei Kexin regarded her with seriousness and said, “Miss Sweet, I have a suggestion for you. Would you be willing to listen?”
Tawanna quickly responded humbly, “Please proceed, Miss Fei. I’ll make sure to listen attentively and learn from you.”
Fei Kexin replied calmly, “It’s not so much about learning; it’s merely my personal reflection.”
She continued earnestly, “From my experience and observations over the years, I believe the most effective way to engage in charity is to let your actions speak louder than your words.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Tawanna interjected curiously, “Actions speak louder than words? What exactly do you mean by that?”
Fei Kexin rified, “It’s rather straightforward. As the old Chinese proverb states, it’s better to talk less and act more. If you aim to advocate for a particr group, it’s often more impactful to contribute quietly rather than to dere it loudly. Because when things go awry, the person who shouted the loudest is usually the first to be implicated.”
Tawanna grasped Fei Kexin’s underlying message. She was subtly being reminded that she had perhaps spoken too freely.
Although she felt a surge of indignation, she refrained from arguing with Fei Kexin and instead responded with a respectful demeanor, “Miss Fei, you are absolutely right. I truly appreciate your wisdom!”
Fei Kexin nodded and casually yet pointedly remarked, “The current situation in the country is quite precarious for those who have been a bit reckless. I’ve heard that some individuals are hesitant to return home. Miss Sweet, you should also exercise caution.”
Fei Kexin’s words left Tawanna feeling anxious, as she began to ponder their implications.
At that moment, Mitsui Yoshitaka’s assistant approached again and leaned in to whisper in his ear, “Sir, representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have arrived. They’ve brought along several Americans, reportedly CIA agents dispatched specifically for this asion.”
“What reason could the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have for bringing the CIA here?” Mitsui Yoshitaka frowned, puzzled. The Ministry is primarily focused on diplomatic matters. What urgent case required the involvement of CIA agents?
The assistant, equally baffled, replied, “I’ve verified their credentials, and everything checks out. However, when I inquired about their purpose, they stated it was ssified and refused to borate.”<fn85ad> ?????? ???? FιndNovel</fn85ad>
Mitsui Yoshitaka murmured, “Perhaps they’re here to discuss something with me. Have theme in; I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
The assistant nodded and quickly exited the room.
Momentster, a group of well-dressed Japanese individuals entered, apanied by several white men d in ck suits.
The lead Japanese official promptly approached Mitsui Yoshitaka, bowing slightly as he presented his credentials. “Mr. Mitsui, I am Hasegawa Ichiro from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These CIA agents have been sent by the U.S. Embassy to seek out Miss Tawanna Sweet for some inquiries.”
Mitsui Yoshitaka was taken aback, realizing that the visitors were there to speak with Tawanna. Before he could process it further, a stern-looking white man stepped forward and addressed Tawanna, “Hello, Miss Tawanna Sweet. I’m CIA agent Pete Roger. We need you to apany us to the embassy for a matter of urgency. Time is of the essence, so it would be best to leave right away!”
