As for the present, the Military Intelligence Bureau's influence in Qingdao will inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and the attempt to disrupt the tripartite talks is certainly now a pipe dream.
Unfortunately, he was all alone in Qingdao, with no one he could rely on and nothing he could do. This shows that his intelligence and operational capabilities were severely limited after leaving Shanghai.
Now he has no choice but to back down. Fortunately, he can still steal the high-level secrets of the meeting through He Siming, so he has gained something. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. He Siming is also entangled in the tripartite meeting and is limited by the conditions, so he cannot help him collect more information about other aspects.
Just then, Ning Zhiheng's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the commotion downstairs.
Just now, two cars sped into the gate of the Huiying Hotel. Several men got out of the cars and walked quickly into the hotel. Two of the men even jogged along the way, looking like they were in a hurry!
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a little strange. These men were all wearing armbands with the character "Xing" on them, clearly indicating that they were newspaper reporters. Why were they rushing to the Huiying Hotel like this? Had something happened? Ning Zhiheng sensed something amiss!
He quickly returned to his room, opened the door, and called Kimura Maki in. He whispered, "Take a few people and go down to the conference hall. See what those newspaper reporters are up to, listen carefully to what they're saying, and then come back and report to me."
Kimura Maki hurriedly nodded in acceptance, called out several shrewd guards from the next room, and then quickly went downstairs.
Watching them leave, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but shake his head, feeling rather helpless. He never imagined that he would one day be so desperate as to have to rely on these guards to gather intelligence.
Since he wove a vast and tight intelligence network in Shanghai, extending his tentacles to every level and corner of the city, no matter what the slightest movement in Shanghai was able to escape his notice. This made him accustomed to controlling everything and feeling invincible.
But once he arrived in Qingdao, he felt like a dragon separated from the sea or a tiger without the mountains and forests. He was deaf and blind, and lost his former confidence in everything he did. This passive feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, Kimura Maki returned quickly, knocked on the door and entered, followed by Matsudaira Hidemi.
Before Ning Zhiheng could even ask, Matsudaira Hidemi spoke first, his voice urgent: "Fujiwara-kun, something terrible has happened!"
"What is it?" Ning Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw Matsudaira Hidemi's anxious expression and solemn tone.
Matsudaira Hidemi continued, "I just received news that today, two former high-ranking officials of the new government, Gao Zhiwu and Tao Chengyuan, published an article on the front page of the Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao. They actually revealed the secret agreements between the new government and the Empire, and the contents of all the major secret agreements were made public."
"What?" Ning Zhiheng was also startled and stood up abruptly.
Is the news accurate?
"It's absolutely true. Newspapers in North China have already sent the details, including the article 'Outline for Adjusting New Sino-Japanese Relations,' which is very detailed and even includes a photo of the original Japanese document."
This is nothing short of an earthquake, causing a huge uproar. All the major news outlets are mobilized. When I came up, the meeting hall was in complete chaos. I'm afraid Mr. Wang of the new government doesn't know how to handle this situation!
It is conceivable that this time, the secret traitorous treaty signed between the puppet government and the Japanese has been made public. The only fig leaf on the puppet government has been completely torn off. This Mr. Wang has been exposed in front of the people and the public, and has been slapped hard in the face. His ugly face as a traitor has been exposed to the fullest extent. Now, he probably wants to crawl into a hole in the ground!
This time, Gao and Tao chose the right time. At this crucial moment of the tripartite talks, they dropped this bombshell, leaving everyone stunned and causing a huge stir!
