To be honest, this intelligence transaction involving the blueprints was a better opportunity than she had ever had. If the transaction were to succeed, it would be worth more than many years of gains. She pondered for a long time and asked with some doubt, "Mr. Lin, you don't really need to spend this money. If the Germans and Japanese are trying to keep this technology secret and don't want others to get it, why are you being so deliberate? You just need to get the technology."
Ning Zhiheng spread his hands and said helplessly, "Miss Yong, do you think that even if we obtain the technology, what use will it be with our technical capabilities? Can we really build airplanes and warships? To be honest, it's nothing more than using it to trade with Britain and the United States. Therefore, ensuring that the blueprints do not fall into the hands of others is the best way to protect our interests. You'd better reconsider my suggestion, Miss Yong. Opportunities don't come every time!"
Yong Feng took a deep breath and pondered for a long time, but in the end she shook her head.
It still didn't work! This greatly disappointed Ning Zhiheng. He could tell that Yong Feng was willing to agree, but she couldn't bear the serious consequences and ultimately chose to give up.
Ning Zhiheng was secretly anxious, but Hong Kong was not his territory after all. He did not have enough power to restrain Yong Feng, and he still needed to rely on this woman to achieve his goal and find the blueprints. Otherwise, relying on his own strength, the chances of success would be very small.
He could only nod and say, "I understand. I won't force you. Let's stick to the agreement then. Miss Yong, I'll be waiting for your good news."
"Of course, of course! Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Lin!"
The conversation between the two parties came to an end, and Ning Zhiheng did not linger any longer, so he got up to say goodbye and left.
After Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi left, Nie Xin couldn't help but say to Yong Feng, "Miss, why didn't you think it over more? You rejected it so quickly. The price difference is double, a million US dollars! Tsk tsk!"
Yong Feng glared at him and said irritably, "What's the use of making money if you're too dead to spend it? We can't do that, so why would we dare to cheat them? Look at that Mr. Lin, just by looking at his eyes, you can tell what kind of person he is! Besides, they have the Chongqing government behind them. We can't afford to offend them, and we can't avoid them either. We can't just focus on money, or we'll get into trouble sooner or later!"
By the end, Yong Feng's tone had become quite stern. Nie Xin was her assistant, and some things needed to be explained in detail, emphasizing the importance of not making any mistakes.
Moreover, this meeting left a deep impression on Yong Feng regarding the mysterious Mr. Lin. She could tell that he had an unfathomable demeanor and composed manner, and was definitely a high-ranking figure in the Chongqing government. She couldn't afford to offend him, so she decided to avoid any further complications and prioritize safety.
Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi left the George Hotel, and soon the guards came to greet them. When they arrived at the car door, Ning Zhiheng whispered, "Keep an eye on Yong Feng. I need to know her whereabouts."
Ji Hongyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've placed spies around here."
The group got into the car and drove away quickly. Ning Zhiheng sat in the back seat, took out the blueprints and film from the briefcase and examined them carefully. After a long while, he put them back in the briefcase and asked in a low voice, "Hongyi, you've been dealing with Yongfeng for a long time. Tell me, how can a profit-driven intelligence dealer be so unmoved by hundreds of thousands of dollars and repeatedly refuse my offer? Does she really not like money? What is it that makes her so resolute?"
Ji Hongyi thought for a moment and replied, "It is indeed a bit unusual, but it's understandable that she's afraid of being investigated by the British intelligence agency."
"What a joke, would an intelligence broker be afraid of these things?" Ning Zhiheng scoffed. He pondered for a moment, "I don't think it's because she's determined. It's very likely that she can't get her mole to do that. I estimate that this mole has a very high status among the British. If his safety is threatened, Yong Feng is also afraid of jeopardizing her own safety, so she wouldn't dare to take the risk."
Ning Zhiheng was extremely meticulous. From Yong Feng's words and subtle expressions, he quickly found the suspicious points. He said again, "It seems that we can't rely entirely on this woman. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others. We need to follow the clues and find this mole. If all else fails, we'll take matters into our own hands."
