Everything went smoothly. Ning Zhiheng put down his camera and said with a smile, "Yasuda-kun, from now on we're on the same side!"
Looking at the officer's kind smile, Yasuda Seiji felt as if his heart had sunk to the bottom, with no hope left.
The officer's meaning was very clear: he possessed the photograph, the handwritten confession, and the telegram records. If he dared to waver or have any regrets, sending these three items to the Japanese intelligence department would be enough to put him to death.
Thinking about that time, not only would his own life be in danger, but his parents and relatives back in Japan would also be implicated and fall into an abyss because he had become a Chinese spy. Yasuda Seiji couldn't help but feel a chill run through him.
He replied, his face pale, "From this day forward, Yasuda Seiji is willing to serve you with utmost loyalty and will never dare to harbor any disloyalty!"
With a smile on his face, Ning Zhiheng approached Yasuda Seiji and said, "Yasuda-kun, you flatter me! From now on, we're comrades in arms. You can trust me completely. Now, let me introduce myself. I am Ning Zhiheng, the head of the action team of the Chinese Military Intelligence Investigation Department. From today onwards, I will be your only contact person!"
Seiji Yasuda quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, I understand. Please take care of me from now on!"
Ning Zhiheng looked at Yasuda Seiji with great satisfaction. He knew that Yasuda Seiji was a coward who feared death, but the more someone knew fear, the easier they were to control. As long as he had evidence that could kill him, he could firmly grasp this important pawn and use it for his own purposes!
"Yasuda-kun, from now on, you will only accept my orders. You cannot trust anyone unless you see me in person!" Ning Zhiheng ordered in a deep voice. Such an important inside man must be controlled by him personally, and he would never entrust him to others.
"Yes, I understand!" Yasuda nodded in agreement.
"Your current task is to return to the military intelligence headquarters, carefully lie low, do nothing, and keep everything as before. Don't let anyone notice anything unusual until I meet with you personally and appoint you," Ning Zhiheng continued.
"But sir, the Tanikawa Battalion has been wiped out. If I return to the military intelligence headquarters, they might have some suspicions about me." Yasuda Seiji still had some concerns.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, explaining that he had already considered this matter and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Although the fire at Caopingbang wiped out the Tanikawa Brigade, more than ten members still escaped. Like you, they disappeared into the reeds and their whereabouts are unknown. I believe they will eventually escape back to the military intelligence department, which can provide you with cover. Moreover, all the Japanese members captured with you have been killed. No one in Japan knows about your surrender. As long as you handle it well, you can easily gain their trust. After all, as far as I know, the Japanese intelligence department still trusts its agents quite a bit!"
After careful consideration, Yasuda Seiji realized that it was indeed true; the Japanese side had no way of knowing that he had surrendered, and only then did he feel relieved.
"I'll take you out in a bit." Ning Zhiheng took out another set of old clothes belonging to ordinary people and placed a stack of legal tender on the clothes. "From now on, you'll have to rely on your own strength. I won't provide you with any help."
Ning Zhiheng quickly led Yasuda Seiji, dressed as an ordinary citizen, out of the guard post before signaling him to leave.
Watching Yasuda Seiji's figure disappear, Ning Zhiheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest gain from this trip to Pudong was that he had successfully driven two spies into the Japanese intelligence organization, preparing for future intelligence work. Thinking about it, he would be the only person to establish an intelligence source within the Japanese intelligence agency. Ning Zhiheng felt that this trip to Pudong was worthwhile.
The telegram from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department headquarters has not yet been received, but Ning Zhiheng must be prepared to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.
However, the current battle situation is unfavorable, and the entire Shanghai battlefield is struggling to hold on.
It is conceivable that the new task assigned to him by the Chief of Staff must be very difficult. The worst outcome would be being sent to the battlefield, and he must figure out how to deal with it.
The most effective method is to invest heavily. As far as he knows, the Director loves power first and money second. Ning Zhiheng once bribed the Director with a large sum of money through Huang Xianzheng, and the results were very good. Hopefully, this move will also yield good results.
Speaking of money, I recently transported a large amount of medicine and supplies across the river. You Laoliu, as the person in charge, transported a large amount of supplies into the French Concession. The profits from this were considerable. Now that the money is in Ji Hongyi's hands, I can use it to give to the director. This way, I can take the opportunity to report the Pudong warehouse matter and also seek a good outcome for my future arrangements.
It seemed necessary for him to return to Nanshi to do some preparatory work. Having made up his mind, Ning Zhiheng did not hesitate any longer. That very night, he crossed the Huangpu River on a small boat transporting supplies and landed at Sanyue Bay.
Ji Hongyi and You Laoliu, who had already received the notification, were already waiting there and quickly came forward to greet them.
"Team leader!"
"Captain!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded, turned around and watched the team members and boatmen busily unloading cargo from the ship, and said in a deep voice: "Sixth Brother, a large amount of supplies will be transported over in the coming period. You need to increase the transportation efforts. We are racing against time now, and every second is money!"
