As he said this, he gently raised his hands and clapped them together, and immediately a young and strong man walked in.
Gu Xuan introduced with a smile: "This is my disciple Ji Hongyi. I'll leave the information gathering to him. You can contact him directly afterward. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Brother Ning, you can just tell him!"
Ning Zhiheng also bowed and greeted Ji Hongyi. Then, Ning Zhiheng got up and left the room with Ji Hongyi, and went to a room next door where the two sat facing each other.
Ning Zhiheng didn't stand on ceremony and directly handed a file to Ji Hongyi.
“Brother Ji, these are the five members our intelligence station needs to find. Among them, Yu Li is definitely a traitor and our main target. The other four members were captured four days ago, and we also need to find out about them. If they have defected to the enemy, we will also eliminate them!” Ning Zhiheng explained simply.
After opening the materials and carefully reviewing them, Ji Hongyi smiled and said, "No problem. I will immediately mobilize the brothers on the north bank to find their whereabouts and hideout. Actually, if it weren't for my family's situation, I would also like to fight the Japanese with you."
Ning Zhiheng could tell that Ji Hongzhi was speaking from the heart, so he smiled slightly and said, "As long as you have this intention, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
After pausing, he continued, "There's one more thing. Our final operation will be carried out within Japanese-controlled territory. I'd like to familiarize myself with the terrain there, which requires entering Hongkou District and settling down there. I wonder if Brother Ji has any good ideas?"
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Ji Hongyi hesitated for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Brother Ning!"
“Just call me Zhiheng, Brother Ji, I am Shiduo!” Ning Zhiheng said, waving his hand.
“Okay, Zhiheng, it’s easy to just enter Hongkou District. Although it’s the main residential area for Japanese expatriates, there are also many Chinese working and living there. However, their status is lower than that of the Japanese, and they are often bullied by the Japanese.”
"But settling down there won't be easy. It's currently a predominantly Japanese-controlled area with strict household registration, making it difficult to settle down," Ji Hongyi explained.
“Your Northern Jiangsu gang has been operating there for many years. You just need to find a place to settle down. There should be a way!” Ning Zhiheng said with a smile. He knew that as long as it was in Shanghai, with the power of the Green Gang, there would always be a way. It just depended on how much you were willing to pay.
“Zhiheng is really shrewd,” Ji Hongyi said with a smile. He thought about it carefully. “There is a way, but it depends on how you want to settle down. However, there is one more thing I need to remind you. The Japanese are very wary of Chinese people, and your activities will be very inconvenient. When you walk on the street, there will often be Japanese police and soldiers who will check and question Chinese people. It will be quite difficult to settle down.”
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng thought for a long time before saying, "I know some Japanese, so let's find a Japanese identity, then find an inconspicuous house to live in, observe the surrounding terrain, and make it easier to formulate an assassination plan."
Ning Zhiheng's Japanese improved rapidly, and his writing and listening skills were perfect. However, his Kansai dialect was still not up to par. But that didn't matter. As long as he spoke less, his simple spoken Japanese wouldn't give him away. He could pretend to stutter or even be mute and get away with it.
“Zhiheng, you speak Japanese? That makes things easier! Our Northern Jiangsu gang has some connections on the north bank. As long as we bribe the Japanese, we can get genuine Japanese immigration status. We're not afraid of being caught. It's just that the price is very high, so we usually don't use it,” Ji Hongyi said with a smile.
"Get real Japanese citizenship?" Ning Zhiheng asked in surprise. Did the Subei Gang really have such connections?
"Wrong, it's genuine Japanese immigrant household registration! There's a big difference here. When Japanese expatriates arrive in Shanghai, they can register at the household registration office using their previous household registration records from Japan and obtain a new household registration certificate. It's possible to manipulate things along the way!"
