The matter was of great importance, so Ning Zhiheng dared not waste any time and hurried to Zhao Ziliang's office.
"Section Chief, Yong'an Bank is in trouble!" Ning Zhiheng quickly reported to Zhao Ziliang.
"Speak quickly!" Zhao Ziliang's eyes narrowed upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
Ning Zhiheng hurriedly replied, "Just now, Wang Shucheng, who is in charge of monitoring Yong'an Bank, called. Our biggest suspect, Geng Boming, the assistant manager of Yong'an Bank, has suddenly disappeared, and we can't find him!"
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Zhao Ziliang felt a pang of pain in his heart. This was the news he least wanted to hear. The feast he thought he was about to enjoy had vanished without a trace!
He calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and picked up the phone to call Gu Zhengqi.
"Old Gu, I just received news that Geng Boming, the assistant manager of Yong'an Bank, has suddenly disappeared. He was the target of your intelligence department's own investigation, and you should know that his identity is the most suspicious! This matter is too serious, and I have to report to the section chief. Make your own preparations!"
There was no response on the other end of the phone. Zhao Ziliang hung up, stood up, and said slowly, "What's meant to be will be! Let's report to the section chief!"
At that very moment, in a spacious office of the Special Higher Police (THP) in Shanghai, the newly appointed head of the Shanghai THP, Taro Sagawa, was sitting upright in his chair.
He picked up a coded telegram and coldly asked his subordinate, Yuji Imai, who stood respectfully before him, "Have the informants at Yong'an Bank been evacuated?"
“I’ve already notified him, and he should have evacuated by now!” Yuji Imai replied cautiously.
Yuji Imai was the head of the intelligence team responsible for liaison with the intelligence organization in Nanjing. After receiving a notification from Taro Sagawa, he learned that Yong'an Bank, the main channel for his financial operations in Nanjing, had been exposed to the sight of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, the highest intelligence organization in China. He was immediately terrified and quickly took emergency measures.
Sagawa Taro remained expressionless, and Imai Yuji had absolutely no idea what his new boss was thinking.
"Mr. Imai, what are your thoughts on the changes that have occurred in Nanjing recently?" Sagawa Taro continued to ask.
Upon hearing Sagawa Taro's question, Imai Yuji hesitated for a moment before answering, "Are you referring to the severe damage our organization in Nanjing suffered?"
Seeing Taro Sagawa nod, Yuji Imai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "The situation is not good. We have suffered huge losses in the past six months, which was unimaginable before, but we have not been able to find the specific reason!"
If it weren't for your tip, I wouldn't have known that Yong'an Bank, which had always operated smoothly, had made a major mistake and fallen into a trap set by the cunning Chinese. If you hadn't discovered it in time, we would have suffered a devastating blow!
Taro Sagawa waved his hand, not wanting to hear his subordinate's flattery. He asked, "Black Fox's coded telegram mentioned that the entity that has caused us significant losses in the past six months is the Action Section of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department of the Chinese intelligence agency. Are you aware of this?"
"We have some understanding. As far as we know, the department under the Military Intelligence Investigation Service that targets our intelligence personnel is mainly the Intelligence Section. This department has never posed any threat to us in our past encounters."
However, in the past six months, their other department, the Operations Section, has been unusually active. Almost all of our losses have been caused by this department. The Shadow Team and the Blackwater Team have been almost completely wiped out. However, we lack sufficient understanding of this department. We are currently working hard to gather information and information about them, but this will take time! " Yuji Imai replied respectfully.
At this time, they had not yet received news that the snow mountain spy team had also been captured, but this could not be kept secret for long. The news would come back in a few days, and at that time, Yuji Imai would probably have a different expression!
“Section Chief, we don’t have any sources of information in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. Many things are just rumors and not credible. It would take too long to find out more specific details. I wonder if Black Fox could give us some help in this regard?” Imai Yuji asked cautiously.
Given his position, he knew the codename "Black Fox." As far as he knew, it was an important pawn hidden within the Chinese intelligence organization, having transmitted several crucial intelligence reports that were highly valued by the Special Higher Police. It was one of the high-ranking spies personally overseen by the former head of the Shanghai Special Higher Police.
Taro Sagawa shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Black Fox is our dagger closest to the enemy's heart. Its role is extremely important. It should only be used at the most critical moment. Your pointless orders will only expose it to the enemy's sight too early!"
He didn't want to discuss Black Fox too much. The intelligence Black Fox had provided this time was extremely important. He had pulled the Japanese spy network in Nanjing back from the brink of disaster in time, which was enough to prove that Black Fox's role was strategic. He was also one of the most valuable intelligence agents left to him by his predecessor, and he would never use him lightly!
"I'd like to know which intelligence teams are involved in the financial transactions through Yong'an Bank? How do you plan to handle this matter in the future?" Sagawa Taro asked.
Yuji Imai's face fell, and he said helplessly, "Yongan Bank is our most important channel for fund transfer. All four groups are using this channel. Our only course of action now is to abandon this important channel, put all groups that have used this channel into a state of infiltration, temporarily cut off all contact, and then see how the situation develops and wake them up at the appropriate time!"
