Central is the political and commercial center of Hong Kong. Not only are government departments such as the Governor's House and the military headquarters located here, but banks, shopping malls and hotels are also scattered throughout the area, making it the most prosperous district in Hong Kong.
George Hotel is one of them, and it is also one of the most upscale and luxurious hotels in Hong Kong.
At 9 p.m., two black cars slowly pulled up at the entrance of the George Hotel. The doors opened, and several security guards got out first, followed by Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi.
Leaving the others behind to keep watch and guard the vehicles, the two of them stepped into the hotel, and under the guidance of the staff, they walked through the lobby and went up the stairs.
At that moment, a man in the corner of the lobby watched their backs, then immediately stepped forward, went to the service desk, picked up the phone and dialed. The call was quickly connected, he whispered a few words, and then hung up.
On the other end of the phone, also in a deluxe suite at the George Hotel, a burly man put down the phone and turned to report to Yong Feng, who was sitting on the sofa: "Miss, the guests have arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Yong Feng got up and went to the window. She looked around before turning to her assistant, Nie Xin, and asking, "How many people have come?"
“There were only two people, but they left someone else outside,” Nie Xin replied.
"Two people?" Yong Feng nodded and sat back down on the sofa.
Nie Xin thought Yong Feng was worried about safety, so he said in a low voice, "Miss, I have arranged enough people around here, so there will be no safety issues."
Yong Feng smiled slightly and waved her hand, saying, "I don't need to worry about that. I've been dealing with Lao Chen and his team for so long, and we've sold most of our intelligence to them over the years. To be honest, their credibility is absolutely unquestionable, and their prices have always been fair. Besides, this time they're the ones asking me for a favor. I'm just a little surprised that I only arranged to meet one person on the phone, Lao Chen's assistant. Why is there another person now?"
“The other one might be his bodyguards. Hong Kong is not Shanghai after all; this is our territory. It’s understandable that they would be cautious,” Nie Xin guessed.
The two were talking when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
A bodyguard led Ning Zhiheng and his companion in, and then left at Yong Feng's signal.
Yong Feng stood up and looked at the two people in front of her. She was stunned. It turned out that Ning Zhiheng was standing in front of Ji Hongyi, facing her directly. Obviously, this was the person she was meeting.
She turned to look at Ji Hongyi beside her and couldn't help but ask, "Old Zhao, may I ask who this gentleman is?"
These intelligence brokers certainly wouldn't use their real names. Even "Yong Feng" was just an alias. Ji Hongyi also always used "Old Zhao" as an alias when he was active in the intelligence market.
Upon hearing Yong Feng's question, he quickly stepped forward and introduced, "Miss Yong, this is my boss, Mr. Lin! He came to visit you personally this time without prior notice, please forgive him!"
“Mr. Lin?” Yong Feng’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but take a closer look at the man opposite her.
The man before me was in his thirties, tall and thin, with black-rimmed glasses and a neat short beard. At first glance, he looked like a schoolteacher, but his eyes were sharp as knives, flashing with a piercing light that sent chills down one's spine.
She was also a veteran in the intelligence market, and they were all well-informed. She was also familiar with the name "Mr. Lin".
In fact, these intelligence brokers all knew that the leader of these Chongqing agents was not "Old Chen." "Old Chen" and his assistant "Old Zhao" were merely representatives of this faction.
Behind them is an even more mysterious figure, who goes by the alias "Mr. Lin" and is the real person in charge.
However, this Mr. Lin has always been elusive, rarely appearing in the intelligence market unless it involves the trading of particularly important military intelligence. So far, only Phillips and Anderson have seen him; other intelligence dealers have only heard of him but never seen him, making him extremely mysterious.
Yong Feng hadn't expected that this mysterious figure would suddenly appear and make direct contact with her today, which made her a little nervous. She calmed herself down, realizing that the Chongqing government attached great importance to the blueprints, which was why the behind-the-scenes boss had personally shown up.
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly, nodded, and said gently, "I have long admired Miss Yong's name and have wished to make her my acquaintance. Please forgive my intrusion today!"
Yong Feng quickly made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I have long heard of your reputation, and it is an honor to finally meet you in person today. Please have a seat!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they took their seats. Ning Zhiheng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Miss Yong, you know why I'm here. I wonder if there's been any new progress on your side regarding the investigation of the blueprints? If so, please let us know. The price is negotiable!"
Yong Feng was naturally prepared. She nodded and said, "Mr. Lin is very straightforward. Alright, I won't waste any more words. I have indeed made some gains in the few days I have been back in Hong Kong. As soon as I had the news, I immediately made a deal with you."
Ning Zhiheng's spirits lifted upon hearing this. Just as he had expected, there had indeed been new progress on Yong Feng's side. He smiled and said, "Miss Yong is truly resourceful. I'm all ears!"
Yong Feng continued, "Here's what happened. Our intelligence was a bit behind schedule. After I returned to Hong Kong and continued to investigate, I learned that the British operation wasn't entirely fruitless; they did manage to obtain one of the blueprints."
