Hearing that Imai Yuji was so nervous, Wen Hao hurriedly assured him repeatedly that he would not touch any of Fujiwara Company's interests, which finally put Imai Yuji at ease.
At this moment, Wen Hao changed the subject and said, "I have another request to make."
"Speak!"
Wen Hao organized his thoughts and continued, "Although we wiped out the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CIS) in Nanjing, as you saw, they quickly rebuilt themselves. The new district chief of the CIS's Shanghai-Suzhou region, Shen Le, is my former superior. I've been searching for him for some time now, but he's too cautious, and there's been no progress. However, I heard that there's a man named Luo Jiana being held in the Shanghai Special Agent Headquarters. He was Shen Le's confidant and worked for him for a long time. He's very familiar with Shen Le and his people. I'm thinking of transferring Luo Jiana to me to help me track down CIS personnel. It will be very useful."
After listening, Yuji Imai thought for a moment and said, "Where did you get your information? How did you know about Rogera?"
Wen Hao had already prepared an explanation for this, and quickly said, "As you know, when I left Shanghai, I didn't take some of my old subordinates from the Detective Bureau with me. I deliberately left some informants at the Special Agent Headquarters. Moreover, Luo Jiana has been arrested for several days, so there are some things that can't be kept from me. Section Chief, this person has no intelligence value left at the Special Agent Headquarters, but if he is transferred to Nanjing, he will be of great use to me. Now Li Zhiqun is extremely hostile to me, so I have no choice but to ask Section Chief to put in a good word for me!"
Yuji Imai was well aware of Wen Hao's situation. He was a shrewd and experienced man, so it was not surprising that he could do this. He nodded and agreed, "Alright, this is easy. I will call Li Zhiqun to ask for the man. I don't think he would dare to refuse."
Wen Hao's eyes darted around, and then he asked softly, "Section Chief, I heard that Li Zhiqun has not had an easy time since he took over as Minister of Police. He is very isolated in the Nanjing government, and people from all levels are somewhat hostile towards him. Do you think he can hold on as Minister of Police for long?"
"What, you're also interested in competing?" Imai Yuji looked at Wen Hao with a half-smile.
“Section Chief, to be honest, I joined the Empire much earlier than Li Zhiqun. I believe my abilities and loyalty are no less than his. He was able to take the path of a secret agent and become the Minister of Police, so there's no reason why I can't. Besides, his influence is in Shanghai and Nanjing…”
"Alright!" Imai Yuji waved his hand to interrupt him. He knew that Wen Hao was seeking his support and trying to replace Li Zhiqun. In fact, Imai Yuji also wanted to support Wen Hao, which would also benefit himself.
However, he knew very well that his influence was far from sufficient to accomplish this task, so he said, "I know that Li Zhiqun is quite ostracized in the Nanjing government, but that's not important. What's important is that he has the support of General Yingzuo behind him, so his position as Minister of Police is as secure as Mount Tai. However, your idea is not without merit. I think we can find a ministerial title to transition in the meantime, and perhaps there will be opportunities in the future!"
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he continued, "I heard that Mr. Fujiwara was almost affected by this turmoil. Several military generals went to visit and offer their condolences. I had met Mr. Fujiwara a few times when I was in Shanghai, so we have some history. I was just about to take this opportunity to visit him. Why don't you come with me? If you can gain his approval, your future development in Nanjing will be much smoother."
"That's wonderful, thank you for your guidance, Section Chief!" Upon hearing this, Wen Hao was overjoyed and quickly bowed.
Back in Shanghai, he had always wanted to get in touch with this top tycoon, but due to the vast difference in their status, he could only do some security work outside these high-level gatherings and couldn't even get a word in edgewise. Now that Imai Yuji was specifically promoting him and paving the way for him, Wen Hao naturally understood Imai Yuji's good intentions and immediately nodded in agreement.
