Then he turned to look at Wang Hanmin, who seemed somewhat at a loss, and asked again, "And this gentleman is...?"
Li Zhiqun hurriedly gestured and introduced, "This is my deputy, Wang Hanmin, deputy director of the Special Agent Headquarters!"
"oh!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded suddenly, as if he remembered something, and then said slowly, "I have heard about it! Mr. Wang has abandoned the darkness and embraced the light; he is indeed pragmatic and has done a good job!"
Wang Hanmin had by then recovered from his shock. Reason told him that the Fujiwara Chairman in front of him could not possibly be Ning Yanwang from the Military Intelligence Bureau!
The reason is simple: what is Fujiwara Tomohito's identity? Ever since Wang Hanmin took over as the head of the Shanghai station, this name has been a household name in Shanghai. He is a top Japanese nobleman, the helmsman of Shanghai's largest commercial ship, the behind-the-scenes kingpin of Shanghai's smuggling kingdom, and the one who controls the Japanese military...!
In short, each of these titles represents an unparalleled status and immense power behind it, which no one else can impersonate.
Moreover, he knew very well that Ning Yanwang had left Shanghai more than a year ago and returned to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters to serve as the director of the Second Action Division, holding real power to supervise the military. He had now become the number three figure in the Military Intelligence Bureau, holding a high position and great power. He was one of the few top secret agents in the Military Intelligence Bureau. At this time, he was still thousands of miles away in Chongqing, the wartime capital. How could he possibly appear in Shanghai?
Hearing Ning Zhiheng speak to him, he immediately snapped out of his daze, bowed his head again, and replied respectfully, "This humble servant will follow Mr. Fujiwara's teachings and will certainly do my utmost to serve the Empire and the new government with unwavering loyalty!"
Ning Zhiheng simply smiled indifferently; given his status, he naturally didn't need to pay too much attention to Wang Hanmin.
At this moment, the people behind Ning Zhiheng also looked at Li Zhiqun. Among them, Qingqing Zhengliang said in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, Chairman Fujiwara's safety has been arranged. You did a good job in the security work for today's banquet, but you must not slack off. Check it again in a while to ensure that there is no safety to worry about!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin quickly lowered their heads again and nodded in unison to accept the order.
Ning Zhiheng's gaze sharpened. He looked at Wang Hanmin, who bowed his head in response, and said no more. He waved his hand and stepped out of the hall.
The others escorted Ning Zhiheng to the hotel entrance. Kimura Maki had already arranged a vehicle and led a group of people to help Ning Zhiheng into the car. The convoy quickly drove away, and everyone then turned back to enter the hotel to continue attending the party.
Meanwhile, in the hotel lobby, Li Zhiqun frowned slightly and said to Wang Hanmin, "These Japanese nobles are not easy to deal with. They don't even bother to give us a second glance. Let's think of something else later!"
Wang Hanmin didn't say much, he just nodded silently.
"What's wrong? You seem a little distracted," Li Zhiqun asked curiously.
Wang Hanmin was so frightened by what he had just witnessed that he broke out in a cold sweat, and a layer of sweat seeped out on his forehead, which was particularly noticeable under the light.
Upon hearing Li Zhiqun's question, Wang Hanmin forced a smile and explained, "I was startled by a gust of cold wind when the door opened, but it's nothing!"
Li Zhiqun had a sharp eye and could see that Wang Hanmin's eyes were shifting and that he was not being entirely sincere. However, he did not press him further. With their experience, if they were unwilling to tell him, no amount of questioning would make them tell the truth. So, he naturally would not force them.
Li Zhiqun smiled slightly, patted Wang Hanmin's arm, and said, "Your body is indeed a bit weak right now. Go find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take good care of you."
Wang Hanmin had no choice but to nod in agreement. The two of them checked the time and, as Qing Qingzhengliang instructed, went off separately to check their respective posts.
Watching Li Zhiqun leave, Wang Hanmin then went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, bent down and filled his hands with cold water, repeatedly splashing it on his face. The icy water stimulated his skin, his nerves tightened, and his brain instantly cleared up, allowing him to calm down quickly!
He thought quickly, his mind in turmoil from today's events, and it took him a long time to sort out his thoughts.
It's unbelievable that there are two people who look so alike, even with almost the same height and build!
If there are any differences, it is that Ning Yanwang speaks faster, has shorter hair, sharper eyes, and a more aggressive and intimidating aura!
Fujiwara Tomohito speaks a little slower, in broken Chinese, with a steady yet slightly arrogant tone. His hair is also longer and styled smoothly, giving him a gentler and more refined air, a quality that Ning Yanwang lacks.
Wang Hanmin carefully compared the differences between the two men in his mind. His experience and reason told him that Chairman Fujiwara and King Ning were two completely different people, because they could not possibly overlap in terms of their respective statuses in China and Japan, or in terms of the specific time they appeared.
Wang Hanmin was at a loss for what to do and couldn't make a decision!
