He Siming led Wen Hao to the door of the Special Higher Police Section Chief, Taro Sagawa's office, where the guards and secretary were already waiting.
Seeing the two people enter, Wen Hao turned around and opened the office door. He looked at He Siming, who smiled helplessly and gestured for him to go in. With the status and position of an ordinary agent like He Siming, he was not qualified to have an audience without Taro Sagawa's permission.
Wen Hao paused at the door, straightened his clothes slightly, and then stepped into Sagawa Taro's office.
Upon reaching the center of the office, he looked up and saw a square-faced Japanese officer with thick eyebrows sitting opposite him, staring at him with a deep gaze.
Is this Sagawa Taro, the head of the Special Higher Police (THT) in East China? Although Wen Hao knew the name Sagawa Taro, he had never seen a picture of him before. This time, he finally saw the true face of this spy chief!
Wen Hao quickly adopted Japanese etiquette, bowing deeply and saying, "Wen Hao greets Section Chief Sagawa!"
Sagawa Taro also carefully examined Wen Hao, and had to admit that Wen Hao was indeed a handsome man.
Taro Sagawa nodded slowly and asked softly, "Are you an agent of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department of the Chinese government?"
"Yes, I am Wen Hao, the head of the intelligence group of the Nanjing Investigation Office of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department!" Wen Hao quickly replied.
Head of the intelligence group at the Nanjing Investigation Office? The Central Party Affairs Investigation Department has investigation offices in various provinces and regions across China, but to be able to serve at the Nanjing headquarters as the head of the intelligence group definitely qualifies one as a high-ranking agent.
Taro Sagawa nodded and then asked, "Akita-kun greatly admires your talent and has spoken up for you. Out of respect for him, I can give you a way out, but you must personally arrest the undercover team you mentioned. Otherwise, we will find it hard to trust you. Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Hao hesitated. His lips moved, but he ultimately remained silent. He knew this was the price he had to pay to save his life, and if he dared to refuse, his fate would be tragic.
"You're unwilling?" Sagawa Taro's tone clearly carried a hint of murderous intent, and the coldness in his eyes sent chills down Wen Hao's spine.
"I will follow the section chief's arrangements!" Wen Hao could only say with a stiff upper lip. Although he was unwilling to face his former comrades and colleagues, who were his old subordinates for many years, he couldn't care less about such things when faced with life and death. As the saying goes, once a person loses his principles, he loses his bottom line.
Taro Sagawa nodded in satisfaction and turned to Akita Akihito, saying, "Akita-kun, since you recommended Wen Hao, I'll leave the arrangements to you from now on."
"Yes, sir! Please rest assured, Section Chief." Akita Akihito nodded in agreement.
He had been in contact with Wen Hao for a period of time before and knew that he was a very capable and excellent agent. He himself had worked in Taiwan for many years, far away from the mainland, and had dealt with Chinese people for a long time. In fact, he did not reject Chinese people, nor did he have the contempt and disdain that Japanese people usually have for Chinese people.
Just like his treatment of He Siming, in his mind, he did not think that He Siming was any different from other Japanese students. In fact, because he had watched He Siming grow up, he was even closer to him. From this point of view, Akita Akihito was also an outlier among Japanese soldiers. It's just that he usually hid it well and no one noticed!
For him, joining the Special Higher Police to fight against the Chinese was a job, not a career. Therefore, he did not look down on Wen Hao, the Chinese agent, but rather valued him quite a bit.
Sagawa Taro wasn't truly unwilling to accept Wen Hao's surrender. Back when he was trying to win over Yu Li, he had already intended to establish an intelligence agency primarily composed of Chinese people. After all, using Chinese to control Chinese was a crucial method for the Japanese to rule China, and Yu Li was the best pawn in his hands. However, before he could put his plan into action, Yu Li was eliminated by Chinese agents.
For a long time, he had been looking for such a person. This person had to have sufficient seniority in the Chinese intelligence department, be willing to serve the Japanese, and at the same time, have enough ability to help the Japanese rule. Now he was paying attention to Wen Hao. If Wen Hao's performance in the future satisfied him, then he could entrust him with important responsibilities.
In the following days, several newspapers in the French Concession published articles with similar content, all exposing the traitorous behavior of certain businessmen in Shanghai. Some well-informed sources even named names, saying that a certain tycoon surnamed Fu frequently conducted business with the Japanese, worked for the Japanese, collected strategic materials for the Japanese, and made a fortune from the national crisis.
These articles greatly angered Fu Yaozu, who had just begun his acquisition campaign. While reading the newspaper in his office, he tore the newspaper in half, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it on the ground.
He cursed loudly, "These bastards, they're spouting nonsense with their pens, they're practically putting up slogans on my doorstep! They even called me a traitor to the Republic of China, all I did was sell some things to the Japanese! They're trying to ruin my reputation!"
Manager Tian, who was standing to the side, was also very nervous and said repeatedly, "Sir, there are many people outside who are saying that the supplies we have purchased are all going to be sold to the Japanese. Our warehouse is also being targeted, and the supplies have not been delivered to the Japanese for a long time. What do you think we should do now?"
Fu Yaozu was also a little anxious, but after all, he was a man who had weathered many storms and overcome countless difficulties, so this setback was nothing to him.
