Ning Zhiheng waved his hand. He didn't want someone constantly watching his movements, as it would be very detrimental to his actions and could easily expose his weaknesses.
So he declined, saying, "I just found a job and want to get along well with my colleagues. I usually have a drink with them in the evenings and get back very late. I'd better not trouble Kumiko, otherwise I'll feel too bad!"
Ning Zhiheng's words disappointed Kumiko somewhat, but she quickly smiled and said, "It's alright, but Fujiwara-kun, you can't always drink on an empty stomach like this. Eating a full meal is the most important thing!"
Kumiko's words startled Ning Zhiheng. He seemed to have thought of something, but couldn't remember it for a moment, so he remained silent in a daze.
Kumiko, seeing Ning Zhiheng staring blankly, thought she had said something wrong and quickly asked, "Fujiwara-kun, did I say something wrong?"
These words immediately brought Ning Zhiheng back to his senses. "Ah, ah, it's nothing. Kumiko is right. I'm full. Thank you for your hospitality, Kumiko. I'm sorry for troubling you. I'll go back and rest now!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up. Since Japanese men were of a much higher status than women, he did not express his gratitude in words, but simply nodded slightly.
"Hi, please get some rest!" Kumiko bowed and watched Ning Zhiheng walk out of the room.
Soon, the Yoshimura couple poked their heads out from the next room. Yoshimura Yuta looked at the empty plates on the table and said, "I say, this young man has a good appetite. I thought he would leave me some!"
Mrs. Yoshimura said with a smile, "It's good to eat well and stay healthy. No wonder you're so tall. Kumiko, he really likes your sweets. That's a good thing!"
While the family was chatting and laughing, Ning Zhiheng returned to his residence. He tidied up briefly and went to rest, but he felt that there was something he couldn't let go of, so he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Tonight, he was preoccupied with how to deal with the four traitors, but he couldn't come up with a good solution. The four were heavily guarded the whole time, and he couldn't find a way to break through. What should he do?
Kumiko's words today made Ning Zhiheng feel like he had grasped something. What was it?
Right, Ning Zhiheng suddenly remembered, it was that saying, "Eating your fill is the most important thing!"
Yes, I should work on this. The four traitors will meet at the Suzhou Bridge at 5 PM and then return to the safe house. So where will they have dinner?
Of the four traitors, only the surveillance point at the Baidu Bridge was in a restaurant; the other three were in residential houses or coffee shops. These locations did not provide a place to eat dinner, and they left a little too early, not during dinner time.
After the four of them gathered, they rushed back to the courtyard together, and dinner was always eaten there.
I don't have the ability to attack this safe house, but if I can find a way to prevent them from eating there, they will definitely find somewhere to eat dinner. Where will that be? Anyway, it will be more convenient to act than in the safe house, or I can do something sabotage, or even poison them. Yes, that's it, let's give it a try!
As long as there is a breakthrough, it is possible to successfully complete the mission and eliminate all four targets. Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng felt a glimmer of hope!
The next day, Ning Zhiheng ate breakfast at Yoshimura's house as usual. Yoshimura Masakazu said to Ning Zhiheng, "Fujiwara-kun, you need to be careful when you come home at night these days. A lot of people like to cause trouble when they drink a little, and get into fights. The other night, there was a kid who drank some alcohol at a bar and ended up getting seriously injured by two other drunkards on his way home. These days, guys dare to act recklessly after drinking a little alcohol, so you need to be careful."
Ning Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, feigning curiosity, "Are these kinds of things common? Isn't the security here pretty good?"
Yoshimura Masakazu stuffed a rice ball into his mouth and said dismissively, "We have troops stationed here, so the general security is guaranteed. However, fights and brawls, especially drunken disturbances, are common. Just don't come back too late."
Kumiko, standing nearby, added anxiously, "Yes, Fujiwara-kun, don't go to the bar tonight. It's not safe to stay out too long!"
But as soon as she spoke, Yoshimura Yuta and Yoshimura Masakazu both frowned. Yoshimura Masakazu said unhappily, "Kumiko, Fujiwara-kun knows what he's doing. Don't say anything more."
Women in Japan had a very low social status during that era. What Yoshimura Masakazu could say to Ning Zhiheng, Kumiko could not say.
However, Ning Zhiheng still smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Kumiko. I will try to come back as soon as possible!"
