He had no choice but to patiently say, "Director Duan, Station Chief Wang, your operation is not actually secret. Before you entered Shanghai, the Japanese had already discovered your whereabouts. Our intelligence department has already sent a telegram to headquarters to remind you, but it did not attract your attention. Since you entered Shanghai, you have been within our sight. Besides, your actions are so big. To be honest, with the capabilities of our intelligence department, finding you is not a difficult task."
There are still more than three hours until dawn. You can't hesitate any longer; you must evacuate immediately. Delaying any longer will be too dangerous. Please make a decision as soon as possible.
Zhou Hao's words, though neither humble nor arrogant, carried a hint of dissatisfaction. Despite being the lowest-ranking official, they made Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin blush.
Only then did they realize that the warning telegram from headquarters had originated from the Shanghai intelligence department, but they had failed to take it seriously and acted recklessly, resulting in such a huge loss.
Wang Hanming didn't say anything more, and looked at Duan Tiecheng, saying, "Brother Tiecheng, we must move now. Staying here will only mean waiting to die!"
Duan Tiecheng knew that he had no other choice. If he insisted on staying here, he would only be waiting to die. No matter what the other party's intentions were, the situation would not be worse than it was now.
In fact, from the moment the other party mentioned the warning sent by headquarters, Duan Tiecheng already understood that Zhou Hao's identity was not in question, and he must be one of their own.
He immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's move immediately!"
Zhou Hao was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly nodded, saying, "We have prepared two container trucks, enough to fit everyone. Let's go now, please follow me."
The group quickly arrived at the gate with Zhou Hao and his men. After Zhou Hao opened the gate, he took out a flashlight and shone it three times in the darkness. Soon after, two container trucks drove up.
Without a word, everyone boarded the car, closed the door, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Early the next morning, Ning Zhiheng rushed to Shanghai Boli Hospital to visit Hirao Daichi, who was suffering from a gunshot wound.
Hirao Daichi was shot in the shoulder. The location of the wound wasn't serious, but the power of the long gun bullet was far greater than that of the pistol bullet, resulting in a more severe injury. He will probably need to rest for a while.
Ning Zhiheng gently comforted Hirao Daichi and arranged for someone to take care of him. He also instructed the hospital to use the best wound medicine, sulfonamide, for treatment. Hirao Daichi was naturally extremely grateful.
Back at the Fujiwara Company, Ning Zhiheng instructed his bodyguard leader, Kimura Maki, to collect a large sum of money from the finance department and send it to the families of the five bodyguards who had risked their lives to protect him the previous night.
"Kimura-kun, I'm entrusting the funeral arrangements for Ohara and the others to you. They lost their lives protecting me, and their families must be provided for. Each of them will receive a compensation of 50,000 yen. Please personally deliver this to their families. I will be present at the memorial service. Please accept my deepest condolences!"
At that time, 50,000 yen was a huge sum of money for ordinary people, enough for the families of these bodyguards to live a worry-free life. Ning Zhiheng made this generous move in order to win people's hearts.
Kimura Maki was extremely grateful. They were just ordinary people who could hardly earn so much money in their entire lives. The chairman was too generous!
Kimura Maki bowed and withdrew, then Yi Hua'an knocked on the door and entered.
"Is everything arranged? Did they cause any trouble?" Ning Zhiheng asked in a deep voice.
He naturally inquired about the relocation of Duan Tiecheng and the others.
Yi Huaan nodded and said, "Everything went smoothly. They all know their situation and have no other choice."
"That's for the best! I don't want to fall out with them either!" Ning Zhiheng nodded and said.
He wouldn't take action against Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin until the very last moment. After all, they were the Director's trusted subordinates. As a member of the Baoding faction, if he were to kill them, it would be difficult to explain. Given the Director's character, it would likely cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, letting the Director deal with them personally was the most appropriate solution.
