Chapter: 6702

"Fee Kanxin's words immediately made Tavanna feel anxious and she seemed lost in thought."

"At this moment, Shimizu Ryokichi's assistant came over again and whispered to him at his ear: 'Mr. Shimizu, someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has arrived. They brought a few American people with them. It seems they're special CIA agents sent here.'"

"What are they doing bringing CIA people here?' Shimizu Ryokichi furrowed his brow, confused. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for international affairs, and it's strange that they would bring Americans along with CIA agents."

"His assistant was equally puzzled and asked: 'I've already checked their credentials, but there seems to be no problem. However, when I asked them what they're doing here, they just said it involves classified information and can't be disclosed.'"

"Shimizu Ryokichi muttered to himself: 'Maybe they came for me. Let me ask them carefully.'"

Assistant nodded slightly and immediately walked out.

Very soon, several well-dressed Japanese men accompanied by a few white-collar males wearing black suits and sunglasses entered the room.

The Japanese man leading the way walked quickly and handed his ID to Shimizu Ryokichi with both hands, bowing respectfully: "Shimizu-san, I am Hasegawa Ichiro from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These CIA agents are sent by the American Embassy and would like to clarify something with Tavanna Svit."

Shimizu Ryokichi was taken aback that these people were looking for Tavanna and hadn't had time to react yet, when a cold-faced white male agent stepped forward and said to Tavanna: "Good day, Miss Svit. I am CIA Agent Pete Rogers. We need you to come with us to the Embassy right away as it's urgent."

Tavanna didn't expect the CIA would come to Japan looking for her, and she was taken aback, subconsciously retreating her body while asking: "What do you want from me? I don't think I've done anything illegal, have I?"

The agent spoke coldly: "I'm sorry, Miss Svit. We're not saying you've done something illegal. It's just that we received an order from our headquarters and need your cooperation to investigate some important matters."

Tavanna said: "How do I know you're really the CIA? At least let me call my lawyer and have him confirm it for me first."

The agent immediately pulled out relevant identification documents and several files, placing them on the desk and speaking coldly: "These are my personal ID and a fax from the FBI headquarters, containing a summons letter for you. There's also an authorization letter from the American Embassy in Japan and a memo from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which should be enough to prove our identities."

Tavanna said, "Then I have to call my lawyer and let him know about this situation!"

"It's no good." The agent spoke coldly: "Due to the seriousness of the matter, in order to prevent perjury, from now on you are not allowed to make any phone calls, and as of now, you cannot touch your phone until the investigation is concluded."

As he was speaking, the agent whispered: "You should know that some internal issues have arisen, and some people are currently being investigated by the FBI. The FBI knows about you in Japan, so they have entrusted the CIA stationed in Japan to bring you to the embassy for remote questioning. This matter has already received permission from the White House, and there is no room for delay."

Tavanna heard this and her entire body became visibly more tense, she hurriedly said: "Uh... I'll be performing in a few hours, with tens of thousands of audience members waiting..."

The agent said: "As long as you cooperate well at the embassy, the investigation will conclude quickly, and then we will send you back."

"No!" Tavanna's expression was apprehensive, she blurted out: "Tens of thousands of fans are waiting for opening night, if I'm late or unable to perform, they will definitely be very disappointed! If you need me to cooperate, at least wait until the concert is over before saying anything."

The agent shook his head and said: "Ms. Svitova, Washington is waiting for us. To ensure that both sides of the investigation are synchronized, we must take you to the embassy within an hour."

As he was speaking, the agent again said: "Ms. Svitova, if you cooperate with us, we will strive to conclude the investigation as quickly as possible and send you back, and try not to delay your performance. However, if you refuse to cooperate, and we have to forcibly take you away from here, then the entire process will be more complicated, time-consuming, and our attitude will not be as friendly as it is now."

Crief immediately stood up and said: "We have a lawyer accompanying us this time, although he's not here at the moment. Just wait for a minute, I'll call the lawyer and get him to come over as quickly as possible!"

The agent nodded and said: "You can notify the lawyer, but Ms. Svitova must follow us immediately if she refuses to cooperate. If she refuses to cooperate, then we can only forcibly take her away from here."

Miyamoto Ryōkichi saw that these people wouldn't budge unless they took Tavanna away, so he immediately approached a few Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials and said: "I don't know if anyone can communicate with them, but it would be best not to disrupt Ms. Svitova's performance."

One of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials shook his head and said: "This is an American matter, brought to us by American agents, and we're only investigating an American citizen. The U.S. Embassy in Japan has also asked us for assistance, so we have no authority to interfere." JrNovels.com
