This man was already terrible enough, but now he's even lost the family crest and seal. With such an important treasure lost in his hands, his situation will become even more difficult!
This small courtyard was another place he had previously set up, where some of his operating funds were also hidden. He quickly evacuated the day after the theft and moved here to live!
This is the safest response measure. If it is just an ordinary thief who enters the house and steals the seal and jade, then it is still safe. Ordinary people will not recognize the origin of the seal and will not suspect his identity.
However, Takeda Kaede was an extremely cautious man. Japan had already invaded China. The two countries were deeply antagonistic at both the highest levels and among the general public. If anyone recognized the origin of the seal, they would suspect his identity, which would be extremely dangerous for him!
Especially in China's capital, surrounded by enemies, he was practically living in constant fear! Every wrong step could lead to utter ruin! He had no choice but to be careful!
If someone with ulterior motives stole the seal, then his safety would be even more uncertain! Perhaps it was a good thing he wasn't in the room at the time, otherwise he would have been killed by now.
In short, in either case, he could no longer remain in that house. A wise person avoids dangerous situations; he must evacuate immediately.
Ten days have passed, and the worst has not happened. Now we must find the seal. It is a family heirloom of the Takeda family. Otherwise, he will not be able to explain it to his father when he returns to Japan!
His cover in Nanjing was that of a columnist for the Minsheng Daily, and he had no real power. To help him find the seal in the vast city of Nanjing, he had to seek help! This matter had to be resolved discreetly, as it was proving extremely difficult.
The only help he could possibly seek was from "Black Cloud," the only intelligence agent he could contact in Nanjing.
Wu Yun is Chinese and a member of the Blackwater group just like himself. Moreover, he was personally turned by Wu Yun, which is why Wu Yun knew his identity.
Wu Yun has considerable influence in Nanjing and should be able to retrieve the seal. Although doing so would be a serious violation of the disciplinary regulations for intelligence work, he can no longer afford to worry about such things!
Having thought this through, Takeda Kaede no longer hesitated. He slammed the branch in his hand to the ground, got up, and left!
He went out and hailed a rickshaw. The rickshaw traveled quickly and he got off at the intersection of Gulou Street. He paid the driver ten copper coins and then walked for a while to reach the Minsheng Daily office!
He was always very careful and would never let a rickshaw driver take him directly to the newspaper office where he worked. Instead, he would walk to work from the Gulou Street intersection, which was some distance away from the newspaper office!
Secret agents must be cautious in everything they do, especially in the details!
Upon arriving at the newspaper office, I went up the stairs to the editor-in-chief's office on the second floor and gently knocked on the door.
Soon a voice from inside said, "Come in!"
Upon entering, the editor-in-chief saw that it was Takeda Kaede and said with a smile, "Liqun, did you need to see me?"
After saying that, he kindly gestured for him to sit down. Wu Tianfeng stepped forward with a reserved expression and said, "Editor-in-Chief Wu, I would like to ask for a day off today. I am not feeling well. I had some insomnia last night and have had a headache this morning, so I would like to go to the hospital to see a doctor!"
Upon hearing this, the editor-in-chief quickly agreed, saying, "Liqun, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you're sick, you should go see a doctor right away. You could have just given me a call. Why did you have to come all this way?"
Tian Liqun has been working at the newspaper for a year now. He is hardworking and conscientious, and he is also good at interpersonal relationships. He is well-liked at the Minsheng Daily, and the editor-in-chief values him highly and treats him with kindness and friendliness.
"I think it would be better to ask for leave in person!" Takeda Kaede said apologetically, and the sincere respect in his tone made Editor-in-Chief Wu even more satisfied with his attitude!
"Then don't delay, go to the hospital and get a good check-up. I'll arrange your work at the newspaper for you. By the way, it doesn't count as personal leave, you'll still get paid today. You're just too hard-working! You're not young anymore! Don't stay up late in the future! It's bad for your health!" Editor-in-Chief Wu patted Wu Tianfeng's shoulder kindly, asked him a few more words of concern, and personally saw him out of the office.
