Even after the banquet ended, security measures on the streets near the villa remained in place, with Shinya Takeshita and his detectives maintaining a vigil until all the guests had left.
As the last car slowly pulled up beside Takeshita Shinya, the window rolled down, and the intelligence team leader, Imai Yuji, poked his head out.
"Takeshita-kun, you've worked hard. The banquet is over, let's call it a day!"
Upon hearing Yuji Imai's order, Shinya Takeshita and Wen Hao and the others beside him breathed a sigh of relief. The security mission had finally been successfully completed. Under the personal leadership of Wen Hao and Cui Guangqi, the Detective Division had not made any mistakes, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, please be careful on your way, section chief and team leader. We'll arrange to wrap up right away!" Takeshita Shinya said, bowing.
Yuji Imai nodded, rolled up the car window, and the car slowly started moving. Several cars behind him were special agents from the Special Higher Police Headquarters escorting them away.
Watching the convoy drive away, Takeshita Shinya turned back and said with a smile, "Everything is safe and sound, everyone is happy. Directors, let's wrap up quickly!"
Wen Hao also said with a smile, "Takeshita-kun, we haven't even had dinner all night. How about I treat you to something at that restaurant we went to last time?"
Takeshita Shinya hesitated for a moment. He usually liked to freeload, since he figured he might as well eat it. But today?
He glanced at his Japanese captain's uniform, shook his head with regret, and said, "Let's skip it today. It's too late, and besides, my uniform is too conspicuous. I might become a sitting duck for Chinese agents. Everyone has to be careful these days. I just escaped death, so I can't take any more risks!"
Shinya Takeshita's words sent a chill down the spines of those around him; he was right.
Wen Hao also knew that the anti-traitor team of the Party Affairs Investigation Department was looking for an opportunity to eliminate him, so he couldn't be careless at all.
As for Cui Guangqi, there's no need to mention him. He had just survived an assassination attempt and was in a state of extreme tension, so naturally he dared not linger outside.
All three were worried about being shot, so they lost their appetite and went their separate ways.
Cui Guangqi watched Takeshita Shinya get into the car, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. He wanted to speak several times, but seeing Wen Hao beside him, he ultimately remained silent.
The next day at noon, on a street in Wuhan, several cars were driving smoothly. The two directors of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department were sitting side by side in the back seat of the middle car. The director and Huang Xianzheng had just returned from a meeting at the General Headquarters.
With a beaming smile, the director said to Huang Xianzheng with a hearty laugh, "Zhongxin, our Military Intelligence Department has once again made a name for itself. The case of Li Jiangguan in Guangzhou has greatly pleased the principal. Fortunately, our Military Intelligence Department discovered Li Jiangguan's defection to the enemy in advance and handled it properly and promptly, otherwise it would have been a huge problem!"
At today's military conference of the General Headquarters, the Director reported that the case of the defection of the local army in Guangzhou had been successfully resolved. Several Central Army units were quickly deployed and restrained Li Jiangguan, who dared not make any rash moves and obediently surrendered. Bian Ze's trap also yielded results, capturing Li Jiangguan's younger brother and sister-in-law, as well as a Japanese spy group. This achievement made him very proud in front of the leader, who publicly praised him, calling the Director a sharp sword in his hand. After leaving the General Headquarters, the Director was so proud that he walked with a swagger.
Looking at the smug look on the director's face, Huang Xianzheng smiled slightly and said, "This is all thanks to Zhiheng. If it weren't for his timely intelligence, if we had waited for things to happen, we wouldn't have received any reward. We would probably have been severely punished!"
The comrade was taken aback. Huang Xianzheng's words had left him with lingering fear. The case in Guangzhou was too big. If the Japanese succeeded and cut off Guangzhou's economic lifeline, it would be a major earthquake for the Chinese military. To put it bluntly, without the material support from Guangzhou, the upcoming Battle of Wuhan would be a disaster. The General Headquarters would not repeat the mistake of the Battle of Shanghai and send its elite troops to fight against the Japanese army's planes and artillery with their own flesh and blood. Wuhan would not be able to be defended, and another major retreat would be inevitable.
As the chief military intelligence officer, I am bound to bear responsibility for this incident and will certainly be punished.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say with emotion, "That's right. Zhiheng's intelligence gathering work is indeed outstanding. He has made a great contribution again this time and must be commended. The case in Guangzhou has now been successfully concluded. Have him write a report on his merits immediately. I will certainly reward him handsomely!"
This time, in front of many military leaders, he received the leader's affirmation and was even awarded the title of "sharp sword." The comrade was in an extremely good mood and was naturally very satisfied with the performance in Shanghai.
Upon hearing the Chief's words, Huang Xianzheng quickly said, "Chief, Zhiheng's performance over the past six months has been remarkable, especially the recent major intelligence reports. Everyone knows how valuable they are. They have made the General Headquarters and the Chairman look at our Military Intelligence Department with new respect. This time, we can't just give him another medal to settle things, can we?"
Upon hearing this, the chief was speechless. This intelligence was of great value and had indeed brought great benefits to the entire war situation and the military intelligence department, especially to himself. He originally planned to apply for another second-class medal for Ning Zhiheng, but the shrewd Huang Xianzheng plugged this loophole as soon as he opened his mouth.
Now that the full-scale War of Resistance against Japan has been underway for a year, many heroic deeds have emerged on the battlefields across the country, and the military has been awarding medals in large numbers. Although meritorious service deserves recognition, the sheer number of people receiving medals has indeed made them less precious and rare than before.
