The Mufengyuan Tavern is not large and business is so-so, but Daichi Watanabe believes that it is close to the headquarters of the Special Higher Police and there are patrol teams passing by, so there must be no safety problem. That's why he always chooses to have dinner here.
They entered the hall as usual, and to their surprise, the tavern was doing quite well today, with all six tables in the hall occupied by customers.
Judging from their clothing and attire, most of them were Japanese, so Watanabe Daiji didn't pay much attention. After all, this location was very safe.
They led everyone into the reserved private room. As before, two agents led Yan Kaiding and Xing Shengrong into the adjacent private room.
Soon, the tavern owner came over with a smile, looking at Watanabe Daichi with a fawning smile and saying, "Watanabe-kun, you've had a hard day. I've got everything ready, I'll serve you the food right away!"
Watanabe Daiji said with a smile, "Kurihara, your business is doing well today!"
Kurihara nodded with a smile and said, "Business has been really good these past few days, all thanks to your help!"
After exchanging a few words of laughter, Kurihara quickly ordered the dishes to be served.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the outer hall, Sun Jiacheng, dressed in a kimono, lowered his head slightly, trying to hide his face from everyone.
He never expected that the leader of these Japanese agents would be Ding Dahai, the Japanese spy whose photos were circulated all over Nanjing and who was wanted throughout the city.
Sun Jiacheng had a memory of Ding Dahai, having met him twice at banquets, and Ding Dahai's photos were being circulated throughout Nanjing. So when Watanabe Daichi entered the Mufengyuan Tavern, Sun Jiacheng, who was discussing things with Ji Hongyi, immediately recognized him. He hurriedly hid in a corner and lowered his head immediately, only raising it slightly when Watanabe Daichi entered the private room.
Fortunately, he arranged for the team members to stay in another private room; otherwise, it's uncertain whether Ding Dahai would have recognized them.
Ji Hongyi, who was also dressed in a kimono beside him, noticed his unusual behavior and quickly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Sun Jiacheng nodded and replied in a very low voice, "I know the leader of the agents. He is a spy who escaped from Nanjing. I didn't expect him to appear here. He may very well know me."
Ji Hongyi glanced towards the private room and said coldly, "That's perfect! Since we're not going to leave anyone alive today anyway, let's eliminate this future threat together!"
Sun Jiacheng nodded and said decisively, "He knows the team leader! We absolutely can't let him get away!"
At this moment, the guests at the other tables in the hall glanced at the two of them. The two indicated that there was no problem, and then everyone turned their heads back as if nothing had happened.
Before long, more and more guests entered the tavern, but seeing that there were no empty seats, they had no choice but to leave.
Time passed slowly, and Sun Jiacheng looked at his watch; it was already 6:30.
Meanwhile, Zuo Rou was still carefully applying makeup to Ning Zhiheng. The whole process was very tedious and required a lot of time and patience. Fortunately, Zuo Rou had already carefully studied Ogawa Akihito's appearance and knew what to do, so her hands moved very quickly.
She even took out a gelatinous substance and slowly padded Ning Zhiheng's rather thin and sculpted cheeks, making Ning Zhiheng's face immediately appear fuller.
Finally, Zuo Rou stopped and said with a smile, "It's finished, young master. Are you satisfied?"
She took out a hand mirror and held it up to Ning Zhiheng's face. Ning Zhiheng looked at it carefully and was immediately startled.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Zuo Rou's ingenious technique. The middle-aged man in the mirror looked almost exactly like the surgeon, Ogawa Akihito!
The wrinkles on his brows and around his eyes were naturally formed, and the gel on his face was tightly adhered to his skin, with no trace of it showing at the joint. After a moment, Ning Zhiheng said with emotion, "You say it's 70 or 80% similar, but I'm afraid you're being too modest! I think it's at least 90% similar."
Zuo Rou chuckled softly, "The time was too short, and there are still some flaws in the details. However, if it's just dealing with people who are not familiar with him, this level should be enough."
Ning Zhiheng was already very satisfied with this level of skill. He now truly felt that Zuo Rou's incredible ability would definitely be his most valuable assistant in his espionage career.
If we had known her disguise skills were this good, we wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to find a double when we were baiting the Japanese capture team. We could have just found an operative who looked similar!
He glanced at his watch and said to Zuo Gang, "It's almost time. Let's go to Boli Hospital right away."
Zuo Gang quickly started the car, and it slowly drove towards Boli Hospital. Soon, it arrived at the designated location and parked the car in a secluded spot.
Zuo Gang stopped the car, turned around and looked at Zuo Rou with a worried look in his eyes. He then turned to Ning Zhiheng and said solemnly, "Young Master, you must be careful. We'll wait for you here!"
Zuo Qiang, who was standing to the side, moved his lips but ultimately did not speak. He just looked at his sister with concern.
Ning Zhiheng patted the two of them on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry, our plan is thorough and nothing unexpected will happen. It's 7 p.m. now, and if all goes well, we should be out in half an hour."
However, anything can happen. If we haven't come out by 8 o'clock, or if the Japanese sound an alarm, you must evacuate immediately. Get to the riverbank as fast as you can, abandon the vehicle, and cross the Suzhou Creek!
