"Yes, I'll take care of it right away!" Kitaoka Ryoko replied with a bow.
At the same time, Ning Zhiheng also received a report from Yi Huaan, learning about the progress of the matter.
"Chairman, our people discovered that Special Higher Police agents captured Yamada Shinsaku. Today is the eighth day. It seems that Kanda Tamazan's body must have developed symptoms, which is why they followed the clues to find Yamada Shinsaku. Our plan has succeeded!" Yi Huaan said with a smile.
Ning Zhiheng was also delighted. The plan was progressing smoothly. His move had dealt a heavy blow to Sagawa Taro. At least in the short term, the Japanese would not be able to make any progress, and the printing of legal tender had been postponed for a long time.
“Well done. Now we need to see their reaction. If they send another master sculptor to Shanghai, we can continue to look for opportunities to make a move. I don’t believe the Japanese won’t reveal any flaws.”
Ning Zhiheng was quite satisfied with the success of his plan. The advantage of doing this was that he took the initiative, launched the attack while the other side was on the defensive, broke through their weaknesses by focusing on one point, and gained the greatest benefit at the lowest cost!
"President, what should we do with Yamada Shinsaku's family?" Yi Hua'an asked with difficulty.
After all, these were two innocent lives, and Yi Hua'an still couldn't bring himself to take action.
Ning Zhiheng was also quite troubled upon hearing this. Although he was ruthless, he still had a bottom line: he would never kill women and children.
"Give them some money and two boat tickets, and put them on a ship back to Japan. That's all I can do. I've done my best!"
"yes!"
Yi Hua'an was quite surprised to hear that Ning Zhiheng had spared Yamada Shinkaku's family. In his memory, his superior was Ning Yanwang, known for his iron-blooded and cold-faced nature. He would kill a Japanese man or two without batting an eye. He never expected that he would actually spare this mother and son.
Have they seen our personnel's faces?
"No, they've been blindfolded since the arrest, and they don't know where they're being held, so there's no risk."
"Okay, arrange for them to leave as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Just two days later, at 9 a.m. on the following Monday, Ning Zhiheng and He Siming met at the Nanwu Library.
"Is there anything important happening today?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
He would usually show up at Nanwu Library at nine o'clock every Monday and Friday morning. If He Siming had important information to report, he would meet with him at Nanwu Library at this time.
If He Siming does not arrive at this time, it means there is nothing important to report, and this meeting will be canceled.
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, He Siming nodded and replied, "Yesterday, Sagawa Taro arranged for me to return to Japan again. I heard that Kanda Tamayama is quite old and suffered from acclimatization issues after arriving in Shanghai, causing his eyesight to deteriorate rapidly, making it impossible for him to complete the engraving. Therefore, Sagawa Taro ordered me to send Kanda Tamayama back to Japan to recuperate and to bring back a new master engraver."
He Siming recalled the conversation he had with Taro Sagawa in his office the day before and recounted the contents of the conversation to Ning Zhiheng.
So that's how it is! Ning Zhiheng finally understood the cause and effect of everything. His actions were successful, but Kanda Tamayama held a prestigious position in the country and had the support of that Vice Minister Takeda behind him. In order to evade responsibility, Sagawa Taro deliberately concealed the truth about Kanda Tamayama's injury.
"Sagawa Taro also asked me to find Otani Hitoshi after I returned to Tokyo, hoping that Otani Hitoshi could put in a good word for him on this matter. He was afraid that the Vice Minister of Home Affairs, Takeda Hitoshi, would be angry with him, so he chose me to escort Kanda Tamayama back to Japan."
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "No wonder that's the case. Kanda Tamayama holds a highly respected position in Japan. This time, he was injured in Shanghai, and Sagawa Taro and Kitaoka Ryoko are largely to blame. So they want to use your connections to smooth things over. You must take action in this matter. Once this is covered up, your major rank will be a sure thing, and according to your rank, you can also serve as the head of intelligence!"
He Siming knew that he could not refuse this matter. Sagawa Taro had always taken good care of him, which was why he was able to thrive in the Special Higher Police. This time, it was time for him to repay him.
