Ning Zhiheng was startled upon hearing this, straightened up, and quickly asked, "The British succeeded? Which blueprint?"

"They are blueprints for aerial torpedoes."

Thank goodness! Ning Zhiheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Things hadn't gotten to the worst point yet. Of the two sets of blueprints, he was most worried about the G-type engine blueprint, which was his real target. As for the other set of blueprints, the aerial torpedo blueprint was relatively less valuable. It would be best if he could get it, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't.

He asked again, "Could you tell me the specifics?"

"certainly!"

Yong Feng didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "The British found a roll of film with blueprints among Naoto Yanagawa's personal belongings, but after inspection, they discovered that it was just blueprints for an aerial torpedo. The blueprints for the new engine were still missing."

Unable to make any progress, the British set a trap, deliberately withdrawing the personnel guarding the Nottingham cruise ship to lure the Japanese into a trap. Sure enough, in the early morning of four days ago, the Japanese sent men into the dock to search Naoto Yanagawa's room, only to fall into an ambush. All five agents were captured, three dead and two wounded. However, after interrogation, it was discovered that the Japanese themselves did not know the exact whereabouts of the blueprints.

Ning Zhiheng was aware of this news, but he knew far less about the specifics than Yong Feng. He had been worried that if the Japanese succeeded, the blueprints would eventually fall into the hands of the British. Now, hearing Yong Feng's news, he felt a little relieved.

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Miss Yong is really well-informed. It seems that the whereabouts of the engine blueprints are still a mystery, and we still have a chance."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Is that all? Miss Yong has been managing the South China region for so long, and Hong Kong is your territory. I imagine Miss Yong must have gained something else, right?"

Yong Feng smiled rather reservedly, "That's true. Besides, since Mr. Lin has personally appeared today, I can't be so stingy with my offering. To be honest, I got some microfilm of aviation torpedo blueprints from the British. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi were both quite excited. They had never expected that this meeting would yield such a result.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but take another look at Yong Feng. This woman seemed frail and petite, but her strength was beyond his imagination. She was able to get the blueprints and film from the British in such a tense situation, which really impressed him.

"Miss Yong, you have excellent skills!" Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised softly. "Of course I'm interested. I've said before that as long as we can find the blueprints, the price is negotiable. Just name your price, and I won't haggle!"

Yong Feng's eyebrows immediately curved into a smile as she said happily, "Mr. Lin is so magnanimous. He truly deserves to be called a big boss. To be honest, in the intelligence community, I admire your Chongqing government the most. You have vision, courage, and you act decisively and efficiently."

After thinking for a moment, she quoted a price: "Fifty-five thousand US dollars!"

$150,000! Ning Zhiheng looked at Yong Feng with some surprise. To be honest, compared to the technology of aerial torpedoes, the price Yong Feng offered was very reasonable.

He asked softly, "Miss Yong, this price is indeed very reasonable, and I have no problem with it. However, I need to know, is this a copy of a backup drawing?"

Yong Feng nodded and said, "It is indeed a copy of the blueprints and film. The British have the original."

No wonder, Ning Zhiheng immediately understood. The blueprints in Yong Feng's hands were copied from the British by some means, which reduced the value of the blueprints by half.

This is somewhat contrary to Ning Zhiheng's original intention. His best plan was to obtain exclusive blueprints so that he could use them to negotiate prices with the British government. If the British had the original version, what price would there be to negotiate?

Seeing Ning Zhiheng's disappointed expression, Yong Feng continued to explain, "Mr. Lin, I also paid a huge price for this copy of the blueprints. If the originals were really stolen, the British intelligence agencies would not let it go. I still have to make a living here, so I have no choice but to do it!"

Ning Zhiheng immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I understand Miss Yong's predicament. Don't worry, this will not affect the transaction at all. I agree to this price."
