Seeing that Kuroki Gakuichi was determined to leave, Uehara Junpei could no longer persuade him to stay and could only get up to see him off.
Junpei Uehara escorted the two men to the door. At that moment, Taro Sagawa and Yuji Imai were waiting in the corridor outside the door for General Uehara's summons. They happened to see their superior, General Uehara, seeing the two guests out the door.
They couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The General Shangyuan Jiang they knew was a stern and unsmiling official who rarely showed a smile. But at this moment, he was all smiles as he saw the two guests off to the door. They really didn't know who these two guests were.
The two of them couldn't help but turn their gazes to Kuroki Yueyi and Ning Zhiheng. At the same time, Ning Zhiheng also wanted to see Sagawa Taro's true colors.
The group exchanged glances and memorized each other's appearances. Sagawa Taro and Imai Yuji quickly bowed and gave a slight salute to General Uehara's distinguished guests. Kuroki Takeichi and Ning Zhiheng also nodded politely before leaving.
In an instant, the top intelligence chiefs from both China and Japan inadvertently made their first face-to-face contact! Who knows if such strange things will happen again in the unpredictable and mysterious confrontations that follow!
Kuroki Yue and Ning Zhiheng arrived at the entrance of the headquarters, greeted Ishikawa Takeshi again, and then left the garrison headquarters, got into a car, and drove all the way back to Nanya Library.
In the car, Kuroki Gakuichi said to Ning Zhiheng in a deep voice, "Fujiwara-kun, Uehara Junpei is a friend you can make, and an elder you can rely on. This is your best opportunity, and you must seize it. In this era, it is impossible to truly live a secluded life in a small bookstore! We can only find a small boat to keep ourselves afloat in the tide of this era!"
"Yes, I understand what you mean!" Ning Zhiheng nodded solemnly in reply.
Back at the library, Kuroki Yueyi instructed Ning Zhiheng and several staff members that Ning Zhiheng, also known as Fujiwara Tomohito, would no longer participate in daily work. He had been given an office, and his only task was to organize the original manuscripts in his hands. He would be in charge of his own working hours.
Ning Zhiheng was extremely satisfied with this arrangement, as it gave him both a job to conceal his identity and ample free time to adjust his course of action at any time.
As for Uehara Junpei's original manuscript, Ning Zhiheng would naturally do his best to complete it. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to make contact with high-ranking Japanese intelligence officials, and he had to seize it firmly.
Once he entered his private office, the first thing he did was to draw the face of the Special Higher Police chief he had met that day. Because memories fade over time—a natural part of the human body, even Ning Zhiheng was no exception—only through repeated drawing by his own hands could he retain the memory for longer.
Ning Zhiheng locked the office door from the inside and carefully sketched the two figures he had seen at the door of Uehara Junpei's office earlier that day on his desk.
The one positioned in front must be Taro Sagawa, the head of the Special Higher Police, and the one behind him must be his assistant, who should also be a spy chief. You should remember the faces of these two people.
After a long time, Ning Zhiheng finally completed the portraits of the two men. After careful revisions, the images of Sagawa Taro and Imai Yuji were presented before him in perfect harmony.
Ning Zhiheng carefully tucked the portrait close to his body, only then realizing that it was getting late and it must be time to get off work.
He quickly packed his belongings, then took Uehara Junpei's manuscript with him, intending to take it home that evening to work on it. He then pushed open the office door and went out.
Just then, everyone was getting ready to leave work. When the staff saw Ning Zhiheng come out, they quickly bowed and greeted him warmly. They already knew that this young man had won the favor of the library director, Mr. Kuroki, and they also learned from Mr. Kuroki that Ning Zhiheng was of noble birth. Naturally, they treated Ning Zhiheng with great respect.
Ning Zhiheng returned the greeting politely, then quickly left Nanwu Bookstore and headed to Huimin Grain Store to meet Ji Hongyi!
