He nodded and said, "Keep a close eye on these two people, especially Yong Feng. If these two blueprints really fall into their hands, we need to talk to them in advance and tell them that as long as they have the blueprints, the price is negotiable. We will offer a high price to buy them, definitely higher than other buyers."
At the same time, we must keep a close eye on Phillips and Anderson; they are likely the ones who need these two blueprints the most. If Yong Feng and his group are to trade the blueprints, they will probably prioritize the British or Americans.
Because of its limited power, the Chinese government had no need for these two blueprints. Phillips was an American diplomat and Anderson was a British businessman. Both of them had backgrounds with national intelligence agencies and were the best buyers for these two blueprints.
Huo Yueze quickly agreed, "I will definitely contact these two people in advance, and also send people to follow Phillips and Anderson. As long as they make contact, they will not escape our eyes."
Ning Zhiheng nodded, then solemnly instructed, "Also, the Japanese have noticed this as well. They also believe that the blueprints may enter the intelligence market in Shanghai, so they will investigate the intelligence market from multiple angles. You should be more careful when you meet with others during this period, and don't be like last time, where you were photographed without even realizing it!"
Huo Yueze was immediately embarrassed and nodded repeatedly in agreement. Next, Ning Zhiheng explained the specific details of the counterfeit money plan. The two talked for a long time before ending the meeting.
At 12:20 a.m. that night, Ning Zhiheng, as usual, took out his radio in his study, put on his headphones, tuned the radio channel, found the wavelength with practiced ease, and then waited quietly.
This was something he did every night: receiving radio signals from the Shanghai underground party organization at 12:30 sharp. However, even after returning to Shanghai for so long, he hadn't received a single radio signal.
This was, of course, Lin Hanwen's deliberate choice. The importance of the Shadow was self-evident, and he would never use this trump card lightly unless it was an extremely important operation.
To Ning Zhiheng's surprise, when the time reached thirty minutes, a clear signal came through the earphone, which made him tense up immediately. He quickly wrote down the digital information on the paper with his pencil until the reception was complete, and then he took off the earphone.
This was the first time he had received a radio signal from the underground party organization. Ning Zhiheng knew that something important must have happened. He dared not delay and quickly took out his codebook, translating it word by word. Soon, a complete telegram appeared before his eyes.
The contents of the telegram stunned him for a moment; it mentioned the two sets of blueprints.
It turned out that the Red Party had also learned from Soviet intelligence about the sudden loss of the blueprints. Just as Ning Zhiheng had thought, although the Red Party itself had no use for them, the Soviet Union desperately wanted to obtain the two blueprints, especially the blueprints for the G-type engine. Therefore, the Red Party headquarters ordered local party organizations and intelligence agencies in South China and Central China to do their utmost to find the blueprints. The Shanghai underground party organization, as the organization most likely to have access to the blueprints, was specially instructed to do everything in its power to find them.
After receiving the order, Lin Hanwen knew it was of great importance, so he sent instructions to all his intelligence agents. Shadow, as an elite agent, was naturally the first choice, which led to this initiative to contact him.
Lin Hanwen knew that Shadow's intelligence capabilities were extraordinary, and no one could say for sure how far they could go. However, the abilities Shadow had demonstrated so far were enough for him to place high hopes on. Therefore, in the telegram, he asked Shadow to do everything in his power to find the whereabouts of the blueprints.
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. He hadn't expected that the two sets of blueprints would involve such a wide range of people, including the Japanese, the British, and probably even the Soviets, as well as various other parties hiding in the shadows. They were all using every means at their disposal to participate in this intelligence contest. It would be quite difficult for him to stand out and profit from it!
