During the banquet, everyone chatted happily until they left satisfied. Kanda Tamaki and Takano Takayuki were very pleased with Ning Zhiheng's warm hospitality. Takano Takayuki, in particular, was greatly pleased and grateful to Ning Zhiheng.
After the banquet, Kitaoka Ryoko personally led a group to pick up Kanda Tamazan, and then went to hand over the responsibilities to Takeshita Shinya.
Ning Zhiheng stared blankly at the plate of teriyaki fish fillets on the table. Kanda Yuzan hadn't touched any other dishes today, only this one. There wasn't much fish in the plate, and Kanda Yuzan had eaten almost all of it. Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment before turning to leave.
In a room inside the library building, He Siming handed a metal box to Kanda Tamayama. Kanda Tamayama took the box, took out a package, opened it, and took out the coin engraving. It was a copper engraving. Kanda Tamayama carefully examined it under a microscope before nodding to indicate that there were no problems.
After He Siming finished the handover, he bowed and took his leave. After watching He Siming leave, Kanda Yushan put away the woodblock and placed it in the safe next to him.
After leaving the library building, He Siming immediately returned to the headquarters of the Special Higher Police Division to report to the division chief, Taro Sagawa.
Taro Sagawa was already aware of the arrival of the three experts, including Kanda Tamayama, and was very pleased. If all went well, the Eclipse Project would be completed soon. If completed, this project would have a huge impact on the entire war against China, and its power would be no less than that of several divisions.
"Takeshita-kun, you've done a great job. The arrival of Mr. Kanda and the others has been a great help to us. I will apply for a commendation for you immediately. I believe your promotion order will be issued soon. You must continue to work hard!" Sagawa Taro said with a smile.
"Hi, thank you for your guidance, Section Chief!" He Siming bowed and replied. He then took out a letter and handed it to Sagawa Taro. "During my trip back to Japan, I made a special visit to Mr. Otani Hitoshi. He had a very good impression of you and asked me to bring you a letter. Please take a look!"
"Oh! That's wonderful!" Sagawa Taro immediately stood up and solemnly accepted the envelope. "Takeshita-kun, thank you so much. You must be tired from your journey. Go back and rest early. I'll let you know if anything comes up!"
"Hi!"
He Siming bowed and left the office, then went to visit his teacher, Akita Akihito, before finally returning to his own office.
He turned around and closed the door tightly. He quickly went to his desk, picked up paper and pen, and carefully recalled what he had seen and heard in the library building that day. Then he began to sketch on the paper, drawing a simple interior diagram. He drew the layout of the fourth floor of the building, as well as the interior layout of the vault containing the legal tender, in detail.
After finishing the drawing, he carefully checked it again to make sure it was correct before folding and putting it away. He needed to contact Ning Zhiheng as soon as possible to report on the progress of the mission.
The next day happened to be Friday, the day he and Ning Zhiheng had agreed to meet. He Siming went to Nanwu Library early to wait for Ning Zhiheng's arrival.
Since seeing He Siming yesterday, Ning Zhiheng knew that He Siming would be waiting for him at Nanwu Bookstore at nine o'clock this morning, so he quickly arrived at Nanwu Bookstore as well.
As usual, Ning Zhiheng and He Siming exchanged a few pleasantries after meeting, and Ning Zhiheng invited him upstairs for a chat. The two entered Ning Zhiheng's room and sat facing each other.
"Is there anything important going on this trip to Japan?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
He Siming shook his head and said, "No, this trip to Japan went very smoothly. I even took the time to visit Hitoshi Otani. We had a good talk, and he even wrote a letter to Taro Sagawa, asking him to take good care of me!"
"Well done! Hitoshi Otani is your greatest asset. You must keep in touch with him; it will greatly benefit your future work!"
"Haha, isn't my greatest asset you, Director?"
The two men exchanged a smile, and Ning Zhiheng then asked, "How is the woodblock printing going?"
"It's almost finished. Kanda Tamami said that the final engraving work will be completed in a month at most, which means they can print this batch of legal tender in another month!"
"One month!" Ning Zhiheng said, frowning. "We must act quickly, or it will be too late!"
