Kuroki Yueyi happened to be out on business these past two days and didn't come to work at the library, which conveniently made it easier for Ning Zhiheng to carry out his plans.
He then went to the reading area, looked at his colleagues, and said with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard. It's my turn to work the night shift today. You should all go home and get some rest!"
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, several colleagues quickly chimed in, "How can we let Fujiwara-kun go through all that trouble? Let us take the night shift!"
These colleagues all knew Ning Zhiheng's aristocratic status. The Japanese people have a deep-rooted concept of this hierarchical system, so they naturally treated Ning Zhiheng with great respect. They hadn't originally planned to have Ning Zhiheng work the night shift with them, but Ning Zhiheng kept emphasizing that he was also a library employee and that everyone should be treated equally. He insisted on taking turns working the night shift with everyone.
At this moment, Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "Let's do as we agreed before. Actually, I can rest there by myself. I can better complete the work of organizing the manuscripts in the library. Please don't refuse, let's leave work a little earlier today!"
Seeing Ning Zhiheng say that, everyone readily agreed. In fact, who wouldn't want to go back to their own home and have a comfortable night's rest?
Fukui Yuuma said, "We're about to leave work, so thank you for your hard work, Fujiwara-kun!"
With Kuroki Yueyi absent, Ning Zhiheng held the highest position here, so everyone was willing to listen to him and go home to rest early.
Watching everyone pack up their belongings and leave the South House Library one after another, Ning Zhiheng checked his watch. He had deliberately left work early today, and it was still quite early, around 5:30.
He arrived at the library's main entrance and looked outside, where he saw a car parked not far away.
At this moment, the driver's side window rolled down, revealing Zuo Gang's face. Ning Zhiheng nodded, then turned around and went back to the library, quickly checking every place and closing the doors and windows.
He then went outside, locked the library door, and, seeing that no one was around, quickly went to the car and got inside.
At this moment, a slightly plump woman was sitting in the back seat of the car. She looked exactly like Jiang Chuanqingzi. Ning Zhiheng knew that Zuo Rou had completed her disguise. He looked at her carefully and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so similar! How did you do it?"
Zuo Rou smiled and pointed to her face, saying, "The more effort you put in, the better. This makeup alone took me more than an hour. Young Master, you don't have much time for makeup, so we need to get started quickly!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Let's begin now!"
Zuo Rou began to lay the foundation for Ning Zhiheng's appearance, carefully applying makeup.
It was six o'clock in the morning when six cars slowly pulled up to the Mufengyuan Tavern and stopped by the roadside.
The doors of three of the cars opened, and ten Japanese agents, led by Watanabe Daichi, along with Yan Kaiding and Xing Shengrong, got out.
Watanabe Daichi hurried over to the other three cars. The window rolled down, and a man leaned out and smiled at Watanabe Daichi, saying, "Watanabe-kun, that's all for today. See you tomorrow!"
Watanabe Daichi quickly said, "Akagi-kun, you've had a great day! If you don't mind, come in and have a drink with us!"
Akagi was an action team leader who worked specifically with Watanabe Daichi. He would lie in ambush and, once the two Chinese agents he had recruited discovered any suspicious individuals, they would quickly launch an attack to make an arrest.
Unfortunately, nothing has happened in the past few days, and we have gained nothing so far.
However, this is a long-term task, and at least for now, Chinese agents in Shanghai dare not easily infiltrate Japanese-occupied territories to carry out espionage activities.
Captain Akagi shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "We still need to go back and report on the progress, so we won't keep you company any longer. Watanabe-kun, please don't drink too much either. See you tomorrow!"
After saying that, he nodded slightly to Watanabe Daiji, closed the car window, and the three cars drove away quickly.
Watanabe Daiji was rebuffed and quite displeased. He had been working undercover in China for many years and had almost no connections within the Japanese intelligence agencies.
He had hoped to make friends with these veteran agents, but he found that they were not easy to approach and did not respect him at all.
He pursed his lips, turned around and waved to the team members behind him, and the group stepped into the Mufengyuan Tavern.
I'm shamelessly asking for monthly votes again! I'm really going all out for the Rookie of the Year award. I promise that starting today, I'll add one extra chapter for every 2000 monthly votes I get! I hope you all will support me! Thank you!
