At this moment, the two people huddled together, whispering to each other. Just then, the door opened, and a graceful young woman appeared in the doorway. The room fell silent instantly.
Her long, black hair was tied in a bun, simply adorned with a white hairpin that swayed gently. Her face was fair and delicate, with long, beautiful eyebrows. She was quite stunning. This was none other than Yong Feng, whom everyone had been anxiously waiting for.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention, especially Anderson and Huo Yueze, who almost simultaneously stood up and went to greet her.
Huo Yueze took a few quick steps, getting ahead of Anderson, and came to Yong Feng. He gestured for her to enter and said with a smile, "Miss Yong, I've been waiting for you. Shall we have a talk?"
Yong Feng smiled slightly and nodded. This "Old Chen" in front of her was a big spender in the intelligence market and had always been her regular customer. She dared not offend him easily, so she gladly accepted his invitation.
Anderson, standing to the side, looked rather grim as he watched Huo Yueze take the lead. However, the rules of the intelligence market had always been like this: unless Huo Yueze and Yong Feng finished their deal, he could not forcefully intervene. He shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to step aside and wait for their conversation to end.
Yong Feng followed Huo Yueze to his seat, and they sat opposite each other. She went straight to the point and asked, "Miss Yong, you must have heard the news. I won't say anything else, but it's about the information on the blueprints. If you have it, I will offer the highest price to buy it."
Upon hearing this, Yong Feng quickly waved her hand and explained, "Old Chen, the blueprints are definitely not in my hands. I can't take on this hot potato."
Yong Feng had just arrived from Hong Kong. Now that the British had seized the Nottingham passenger ship and were just short of conducting an open search, she naturally knew about the missing blueprints.
Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disappointment. Yong Feng was the most likely person in the room to know the whereabouts of the blueprints, and her categorical denial left the two of them quite frustrated.
Just then, Yong Feng continued, "The whereabouts of the blueprints are currently unknown, but I've figured out some of the specifics of the matter. Old Chen, how about it, are you still interested in discussing this?"
"Let's talk!" Huo Yueze said without hesitation.
The next day, Huo Yueze went into the city again and secretly met with Ning Zhiheng to report on the results of the gathering.
"Chief, we've figured it out. The British were indeed behind this, but for some reason they didn't succeed!"
In Huo Yueze's narration, the whole incident gradually came to a clearer picture. It turned out that the technical exchanges between the Germans and the Japanese had long been observed by the British intelligence. After extensive investigation, their transportation channels were gradually taken over by the British. So when Naoto Yanagawa and others who were transporting the blueprints boarded the ship at the French port, they were targeted by the British.
The Nottingham sailed across the ocean for a considerable time, during which time Naoto Yanagawa quickly met a beautiful white woman, and the two became very close. This was, of course, a deliberate act by British intelligence.
Despite her best efforts in searching after meeting Naoto Yanagawa, the beautiful woman was unable to find the documents and blueprints they were carrying.
Naoto Yanagawa, being an intelligence elite, was wary of such casual relationships and left no stone unturned in his precautions.
Finally, on the night before the Nottingham was about to arrive in Hong Kong, with the voyage nearing its end, the British lost patience and directly attacked Naoto Yanagawa. However, Naoto Yanagawa was decisive and committed suicide by poison just as he was about to be defeated.
As a result, Naoto Yanagawa's three companions also noticed something was wrong. When they came to investigate, they found Naoto Yanagawa's body. All his belongings were missing, leaving nothing behind, including the blueprints.
The three companions were naturally terrified. Someone was definitely after the blueprints. This operation to transport the data was top secret, so they couldn't make it public. Moreover, the situation on the Notting was unclear, and they didn't know how many people were secretly watching them. They had no choice but to hold back for the time being.
The captain of the Notting also preferred to avoid trouble, so he claimed that Naoto Yanagawa had committed suicide by poisoning himself and did not ask any further questions.
As soon as the Nottingham arrived in Hong Kong, the three companions disembarked with Naoto Yanagawa's body and immediately notified headquarters, causing an uproar within the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
