"Yes, sir! I will do my best to fulfill your request, please rest assured." Hirao Daichi bowed again and replied, gently taking the banknotes. They were all brand new US dollars. He felt his heart pounding. This time he had met a really important person. Which ordinary businessman would directly use US dollars to tip?
Hirao Daichi respectfully left the room and quickly went downstairs. He went to the counter and whispered to Ikemoto Yujin, "Ikemoto-kun, thank you very much this time. I will definitely reward you handsomely after the matter is settled."
Yujin Ikemoto glanced at Daichi Hirao with surprise, and replied softly, "I'm not wrong, am I?"
Hirao Daichi nodded slightly and said with emotion, "They must be from the Fujiwara family of Kyoto. Their generosity is astonishing. I'll get to work right away. Thank you so much this time!"
After saying this, he nodded slightly and quickly left the hall. Ikemoto Yujin's eyelids twitched. A noble scion of the Fujiwara family? He had actually overlooked this. How could he have been so careless!
After watching Hirao Daichi leave the room, Ning Zhiheng turned around and began to carefully inspect the entire room.
Although it is unlikely, the Spring Hotel was the most upscale hotel in the Japanese-occupied area. If it were targeted by the intelligence department, it would not be impossible for them to install some eavesdropping devices. In fact, many such eavesdropping devices were installed in the various businesses that Ning Zhiheng owned.
Ning Zhiheng was an expert at searching for traces, and he quickly searched the entire house. In the end, he found nothing and was relieved.
He tidied up the room, set up warning signs, turned around and went out the door. He walked into the hotel lobby and strolled to a separate seat in the lounge area.
At this moment, waiter Ikemoto Yujin saw Ning Zhiheng come downstairs, quickly placed a drink on Ning Zhiheng's table, and then respectfully withdrew.
Ning Zhiheng nodded slightly and picked up a newspaper to read. It was a newspaper founded by the Japanese in the occupied area of Shanghai. The whole thing was full of articles advocating Japan's invasion of China. There were a lot of commercial advertisements in one of the supplements. He glanced at it and didn't find any valuable information.
At this moment, not far from Ning Zhiheng, sat several Japanese men. His hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he could clearly hear two middle-aged men talking in hushed tones.
He listened carefully and realized it was just two cloth merchants exchanging information. He shook his head, thinking he should go out and observe the situation in the occupied area again, so he got up and prepared to go out.
Just as he was about to walk out of the hall, he saw the hall door be pushed open and several men walk in, led by a Japanese officer and flanked by two men in suits.
"Fujiwara-kun!"
"Ishikawa-kun!"
The two met face to face and recognized each other at the same time, their faces showing surprise and delight.
It turned out that the young officer who had just walked in was none other than Ishikawa Takeshi, an old acquaintance of Ning Zhiheng.
When Ning Zhiheng first visited Uehara Junpei at the Japanese military headquarters, he met Ishikawa Takeshi, the officer on duty at the time.
Later, the two even made a special invitation to go out for drinks a few times. They got along very well and had a very good relationship.
"Ishikawa-kun, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you've already been promoted!" Ning Zhiheng pointed at Ishikawa Takeshi's shoulder insignia and asked in surprise. At this moment, Ishikawa Takeshi was wearing the rank of major.
"Haha, Fujiwara-kun is also in high spirits. It's clear you've been doing well lately!" Ishikawa Takeshi also noticed the difference in Ning Zhiheng today, which was obviously quite different from before.
After exchanging pleasantries, Takeshi Ishikawa said to Ning Zhiheng, "Fujiwara-kun, please wait for me. We've been apart for a long time. Let's go have a drink together."
He knew about Ning Zhiheng's relationship with General Uehara Junpei, the head of the military intelligence department, so he had been deliberately trying to befriend him. Moreover, Ning Zhiheng's cover was that of a member of a branch of the Fujiwara family, while he himself was a member of a branch of the Ishikawa family. The two had similar identities and got along very well, thus forging a good friendship. Naturally, they had to get together this time.
