Ning Zhiheng's lips curled into a playful smile, and he continued, "With Kitaoka Ryoko killed, the Tsuchihara Agency will definitely investigate her whereabouts today. She came to the Mulan Society, and there are witnesses to her coming and going. I'm not worried about that. But when you left the Tsuchihara Agency together today, you were Kitaoka Ryoko's driver. I'm sure someone from the Tsuchihara Agency saw that. If they ask you, how will you answer?"

Ning Zhiheng's question surprised Iwai nosuke. He said, "I have considered this as well. After I sent Kitaoka Ryoko to the Muran Academy, she asked me to leave on my own. I don't know anything about what happened after that."

This explanation was somewhat far-fetched, but Iwai nosuke had no other choice but to stick to his guns. He glanced at Ning Zhiheng, carefully considered his words, and spoke again: "However, I think you must have considered this, Chairman. Kitaoka Ryoko is a student of Tsuchihara Keiji, and General Kagesa has always been very hostile towards her. You also have a good relationship with General Kagesa. As long as you put in a word with General Kagesa, given your reputation, the Tsuchihara Organization will not investigate this matter further."

Ning Zhiheng slowly shook his head upon hearing this and said in a low voice, "You see, the whole thing started with you. Although I could talk to General Yingzuo, that would leave a trace and let him realize that Kitaoka Ryoko's death must be related to me. This person is hoping that I will fall out with Tsuchihara Keiji and then use me to help him completely control the Tsuchihara Agency. But I hate giving others a handle to use against me, so I don't plan to ask. What do you think I should do?"

Ning Zhiheng's words left Iwai no Naosuke completely speechless. The implication was that he was no longer involved and would have to face the Tsuchihara Agency's investigation alone, which was completely unexpected.

His mouth moved for a long time, and looking at Ning Zhiheng's cold gaze, he finally stammered, "Please rest assured, Chairman, I, I will definitely keep the secrets strictly, and under no circumstances will I do anything that is detrimental to the Fujiwara Company."

Looking at Iwai nosuke's tense expression, Ning Zhiheng slowly revealed a half-smile and said in a low voice, "Why go through all this trouble? Don't you know that only the dead can keep secrets? You also said that you would be loyal to me from now on, even unto death, so I will grant you your wish!"

Upon hearing this, Iwai Nosuke felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Just moments before, he had suddenly acquired a fortune and was feeling quite pleased with himself, but in the blink of an eye, his new master wanted to kill him to silence him.

He saw Ning Zhiheng holding a knife in front of him, his eyes filled with murderous intent. However, the powerful and influential Ning Zhiheng made Iwai nosuke dare not be the slightest bit presumptuous. At this moment, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

This must be President Fujiwara testing me!

Otherwise, if the two of them are alone in a room, and he threatens her with his precious status, aren't you afraid that if you push her too far, she might hurt him?

It should be noted that Iwai nosuke was extremely confident in his skills, not to mention that he was carrying a gun. If a fight broke out, he was confident that he could kill Chairman Fujiwara in a short time.

But what happened next made him completely give up any remaining hope.

Chairman Fujiwara continued, "Iwai, when you cracked the Shanghai military intelligence station, twenty-seven brave men sacrificed their lives and thirty-two were arrested overnight, either dying or betraying the station. The entire intelligence station suffered a devastating blow. I later killed Cui Guangqi to commemorate the martyrs, and now you're the only one missing!"

Upon hearing this, Iwai no Naoki suddenly realized what Kitaoka Ryoko had said to him earlier that day.

At the time, she said that the Fujiwara Company was connected with the Shanghai Intelligence Section, but I didn't take it seriously and thought it was just Kitaoka Ryoko's nonsense. Now it seems that it was actually true!

His eyes widened in shock as he stared intently at Ning Zhiheng, pointing at him with his left hand and stammering in terror, "You, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, his right hand swiftly drew his sidearm from his waist and raised it to fire.

But an unbelievable scene unfolded before his eyes. The person opposite him suddenly moved like a ghost, and in that split second, took a big step and came close. A cold light flashed, and a sharp silver gleam swept past.

"hiss!"

A line of blood appeared on Iwai nosuke's neck. He felt as if his body was an inflated balloon that had been suddenly pricked with a needle, and he instantly lost all his strength!

Ning Zhiheng watched as Iwai nosuke clutched his neck, blood gushing out, before collapsing limply to the ground. He then raised his hand to wipe the blade of Yun Congtai's sword and remarked in praise:

"What a fine knife!"
