Ning Zhiheng immediately became suspicious of Su Yue's identity. Was he a member of the underground Communist Party? Ning Zhiheng was unsure, but his cousin Qin Lechi was definitely a member of the underground Communist Party because, as the person in charge, nothing could be hidden from him.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and then instructed, "No, that's not what I meant. On the contrary, when Lehe Trading Company comes to buy goods in the future, we should give them priority. We can give them whatever they need and try our best to meet their requests."
At this point, he added, "Su Yue is, after all, the mayor of Shanghai. We should try to get to know him better!"
Although Yi Hua'an was not clear about the situation for the time being, based on his understanding, even though the other party was the mayor of Shanghai, he was not in the eyes of the section chief. At most, he would give him some face, but he was far from being deliberately friendly with him.
Despite his doubts, he never disregarded Ning Zhiheng's instructions, and immediately nodded in agreement. It seemed he would have to take good care of this Mr. Qin in the future.
Four days later, seeing that the search in the city had subsided, Huo Yueze entered Shanghai and met with Wang Hanmin and Duan Tiecheng again. He arranged for someone to escort Duan Tiecheng out of Shanghai, and then handed over the flour mill to Wang Hanmin.
After the matter was settled, he and Zuo Gang reported to Ning Zhiheng.
"Have all our people been evacuated?" Ning Zhiheng asked. "We need to be careful with anyone who has been in contact with the Shanghai station. They should not be allowed to operate in the western part of the city in the future, and they should stay as far away from the flour mill as possible to avoid any accidents."
Zuo Gang, who was standing nearby, replied, "They've all been evacuated. They've changed their identities and are now stationed at a new base in the north of the city. There won't be any problems."
"This time, headquarters has once again entrusted me with the task of destroying legal tender. We must learn from the lessons of the Shanghai station. When doing this kind of thing, we must never be brute force. We must think of more ways. There are always more solutions than problems. Zuo Gang, you start to arrange personnel to monitor the library building. This is some information left to us by the Shanghai station. You need to refine it further, the more detailed the better, but do not alert the other side."
Zuo Gang took the documents and nodded in acceptance.
Ning Zhiheng then looked at Huo Yueze and nodded approvingly, saying, "You've done a good job eliminating another Japanese infiltrator team this time. You still need to hurry up and try to dig out the last team as soon as possible, otherwise they will be a hidden danger sooner or later. With them around, we can't sleep soundly. Shanghai Station is a lesson from the past!"
"Yes, I will definitely seize this task and do my best to complete it!" Huo Yueze nodded and accepted the order.
After everyone parted ways, they each went about their assigned tasks, while Ning Zhiheng proceeded as usual, following the established procedures.
Time flew by and it was late February. At the Mulan Academy in Shanghai, Yi Hua'an and the staff of the Fujiwara Company were busy working on the instructions of Ning Zhiheng, giving the entire academy a brand new look.
Ning Zhiheng and a group of Shanghai artists rushed to the customs dock to welcome Kanda Yushan.
Takano Takayuki stood beside Ning Zhiheng, anxiously glancing at his watch every now and then.
"Takano-kun, there's still plenty of time before the ship enters port, so don't be too impatient!" Kuroki Takeichi said with a smile, standing in the middle of the group.
Takano Takayuki couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and said with emotion, "The last time I saw you was three years ago, teacher. I wonder how you are doing now. It must be so hard for you to come to this overseas place at your age!"
Takano Takayuki's teacher, Kanda Tamayama, is 65 years old today, which is considered a long life in this era. However, Japanese people generally have a high life expectancy, so he is still in good health!
"Yes, I wonder how long Mr. Kanda will stay in Shanghai?"
"It would be best to stay a little longer; I was thinking of asking Mr. Kanda for a seal!"
Just as everyone was discussing this, another group of people arrived from outside and gathered not far away, waiting for the ship to enter the port.
These people were all dressed in suits, with a protruding waistband indicating they were carrying guns. The leader, however, was a beautiful woman in a women's suit, looking exceptionally dashing, which caught the attention of everyone around her.
"Who are these people? They look like they're here to pick someone up too."
"They don't look like ordinary people!"
While everyone was discussing it, Ning Zhiheng already knew exactly why Kanda Tamayama had come to Shanghai. Others might not know, but Ning Zhiheng knew perfectly well.
These people must be agents of the Special Higher Police, and the beautiful woman in the suit is none other than Yoshiko Kitaoka, the person in charge of the plan to print legal tender.
At this moment, two customs officers quickly approached Ning Zhiheng, bowed deeply, and said respectfully, "Chairman, it's still early for the ship to arrive at port. Please rest in our lounge for a while. We will inform you when your guests arrive!"
As everyone's patron, the chairman of the Fujiwara Company personally came, so how could Yoshida Akimasa, the customs officer in charge, dare to be negligent? Upon hearing the news, he quickly led his men to pay their respects.
Ning Zhiheng has always been kind and approachable to outsiders. Everyone knows that Chairman Fujiwara is gentle and refined, a far cry from his arrogant and domineering manager, Hirao Daichi.
Ning Zhiheng nodded slightly and smiled at Yoshida Akimasa, saying, "Yoshida-kun, you're too kind. Everyone here is a renowned scholar and artist from our country. We are here mainly to welcome Mr. Kanda Tamayama, a master sculptor from our country. We are waiting here to express our sincerity. I appreciate your kindness!"
