As the two walked and talked, Yuji Imai asked, "When do you plan to search Dong'an Town? Have you figured out the situation there yet?"
Wen Hao appeared confident and replied with a smile, "I want to observe for a couple more days. We have already discovered a stronghold in Dong'an Town, which is a dyeing workshop. The workers there are all young and strong men. The owner and his employees all came to Dong'an Town within the last six months. I am certain that these people are members of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Nanjing Station. However, this is only a part of them. I want to investigate for a while longer. After all, Dong'an Town is not a small town; it has thousands of people. If we understand the situation better, we will be more confident in taking action and prevent any from escaping."
Wen Hao is a veteran in intelligence work, and he is extremely thoughtful. He was an outstanding action expert in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, so he can handle these tasks with ease and skill.
Yuji Imai didn't ask any more questions. He knew Wen Hao's abilities and believed that Wen Hao would make proper arrangements. He didn't need to worry about these trivial matters.
"Alright then, just let me know when you need the military police's cooperation, and I'll visit Mr. Koda in a bit to clear up the previous misunderstanding in person. Mr. Fujiwara is right, it's most important for everyone to be on good terms."
Yuji Imai was not a narrow-minded person. He knew that Kanan Koda did not have any ill intentions, and he had no reason to hold a grudge. After all, from Kanan Koda's perspective, she had not done anything wrong. So he decided to go to her in person to reconcile.
Wen Hao overheard the conversation between Imai Yuji and Ning Zhiheng yesterday and knew that something must have happened. However, he was too proud to ask for details due to his position. Now that he heard Imai Yuji bring it up, he followed up with some curiosity and asked, "What exactly happened that caused you to clash with Commander Koda, and I heard that one of your men was injured?"
Although Yuji Imai trusted Wen Hao, he was unwilling to say much about the matter. The Special Higher Police went to monitor a suspicious target, but were led into an ambush by the target, resulting in the loss of two lives. It was not a glorious thing to talk about.
"There's not much to say. Actually, the whole thing has nothing to do with us. It's a case transferred from China, but it's caused us a lot of trouble," Yuji Imai said sullenly.
Seeing that Imai Yuji was clearly not in a good mood, Wen Hao didn't dare to ask any more questions. The two walked out of the station and came to the parked car. Wen Hao opened the car door for Imai Yuji, helped him into the car, bowed deeply, and then gently closed the car door.
After seeing Imai Yuji and his group off, Wen Hao was about to turn around and get into his car when a sedan sped up, braked sharply, and stopped at the side of the road. A young man in a Zhongshan suit pushed open the car door and jumped out.
Wen Hao recognized him immediately as Ren Qingsheng, his team leader. Ren was a trusted confidant Wen Hao had brought from Shanghai and was his best action expert. It was Ren who had tracked down Wen Hao's whereabouts after the Nanjing assassination.
Upon seeing Wen Hao, Ren Qingsheng hurried over and reported urgently, "Director, the personnel from Jiangbei have returned and reported that our reconnaissance team has gone missing."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Wen Hao felt his eyelids twitch and realized something was wrong!
In the private compartment of the train, He Siming and Ono Matsunaga were having a friendly conversation.
Unlike his previous trip from Shanghai to Nanjing, this time Ono Matsunaga changed his arrogant attitude and became respectful and obsequious towards He Siming.
The reason is simple. Ever since they arrived in Nanjing and saw Imai Yuji personally greet them at the station and treat Takeshita Shinya, the liaison officer, with such kindness and enthusiasm, they realized that their previous judgment was wrong. Later, during a conversation, Imai Yuji, also to give them a warning, emphasized Takeshita Shinya's situation. Only then did the two realize that this friendly and approachable young man actually had such a powerful background. Not only did he have the support of the top Japanese conglomerate, the Otani family, but he also had a deep relationship with the Fujiwara family's direct descendants. Such a person naturally had a bright future and unlimited potential. How could they, as intelligence personnel from common backgrounds, possibly reach that level?
Previously, the two of them had been quite unfriendly to He Siming for various reasons, including caution, wariness, and disdain. Fortunately, He Siming did not show any displeasure. On the contrary, he always treated them with friendliness and politeness, which made them feel ashamed. So when they heard that He Siming was going back to Shanghai, they simply asked to go back with him, intending to get to know this Mr. Takeshita properly.
Ono Matsunaga bowed deeply and sincerely apologized to He Siming, saying, "Takeshita-kun, I was being overly cautious before and my attitude towards you was too rude. Please forgive me!"
He Siming, however, did not care at all. He was tactful and diplomatic, and could be described as a master of social skills. He was very good at making friends and had dealt with all kinds of intelligence personnel every day in Shanghai's intelligence circle. He had seen many people like Ono Matsunaga.
"Ono-kun, you flatter me. We are both intelligence officers, so it's natural to be cautious in our dealings with others. I understand completely, so please don't worry about it. By the way, I was thinking of inviting you to tour the sights of Nanjing together, but you were both so busy. It's such a pity."
Hearing He Siming's sincere reply, Ono Matsunaga secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Thank you for your understanding, Takeshita-kun. Alas, this trip to China has indeed been too rushed. I haven't had a moment's free time these past few days, and I have failed to live up to your kindness."
He Siming nodded in understanding and said gently, "Ono-kun, it's rare for you to go abroad. Take some time out of your busy schedule and I'll show you around Shanghai. It's the largest metropolis in the Far East, and its prosperity is beyond your imagination."
