It turns out that after thinking it over for the past two days, Iwai no Suke finally decided to report everything about Kitaoka Ryoko to Chairman Fujiwara.
Keiji Tsuchihara's power within the Tsuchihara Organization is now being tightly suppressed by Hiroki Kagesa, making his days very difficult. As Ryoko Kitaoka's subordinate, Nosuke Iwai can clearly feel a crisis approaching.
Moreover, the Fujiwara Company has now raised the bounty for capturing Hirayama Jiro to 200,000 yen, which is an irresistible sum for Iwai Nosuke. Every time he sees Hirayama Jiro, he can't help but regret that he should have just handed him over to the Fujiwara Company when he captured him to exchange for this huge sum of money. Now he is in a dilemma.
Previously, he was afraid of Keiji Tsuchihara and Ryoko Kitaoka, but with such a huge sum of money dangling in front of him every day, within easy reach, Iwai Nosuke found it hard to control his desires and ultimately chose to betray them.
Moreover, the Fujiwara chairman he was planning to ally with was a top-tier figure with a background even higher than Tsuchihara Keiji. As long as he could win his favor and gain his attention, he would not need to fear Kitaoka Ryoko's revenge in the future.
In the future, whether in the military or intelligence agencies, he would have a powerful backer, which was much better than following Tsuchihara Keiji and Kitaoka Ryoko.
Having figured this out, Iwai nosuke changed his mind almost without any internal struggle and prepared to find a way out for himself in advance.
Ning Zhiheng had some suspicions before, and now that he heard it was indeed this woman, he said coldly, "What has she been investigating?"
"She made me investigate all information about you, and also, Hirayama Jiro, who tried to assassinate you, is now in her hands!"
Ning Zhiheng's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Iwai Nosuke, coldly cursing, "This woman is insane!"
Ning Zhiheng now knew who had gone to the Songlai Hotel in the French Concession to find Miyata Anju; it turned out to be one of Kitaoka Ryoko's people.
Hirayama Jiro is now in Kitaoka Ryoko's hands, which means Kitaoka Ryoko must have learned about Miyata Yasuhisa's whereabouts from Hirayama Jiro, which is why she sent someone to look for Miyata Yasuhisa.
"Why would Kitaoka Ryoko do this? Was Hirayama Jiro's assassination attempt on me orchestrated by her?"
Ning Zhiheng was naturally suspicious, and the fact that Hirayama Jiro and Kitaoka Ryoko were connected made it impossible for him not to be suspicious.
Iwai no Naosuke shook his head and explained, "Kitaoka Ryoko only arranged for me to investigate you and gather some necessary information before the assassination attempt on you by Hirayama Jiro occurred. During my surveillance of you, I discovered Hirayama Jiro and arrested him. I originally intended to bring Hirayama Jiro to you, but Kitaoka Ryoko secretly placed him in a safe house. Later, Hirayama Jiro revealed Miyata Yasuhisa's whereabouts to the Matsurai Hotel in the French Concession, but when she sent people to look for him, they found no one there. Since I wasn't assigned to go, I don't know the specifics. Someone must have found Miyata Yasuhisa beforehand."
At this point, Iwai no Nakaji glanced at Ning Zhiheng. In his opinion, Miyata Yasuhisa should be in the hands of this Chairman Fujiwara at this moment.
Ning Zhiheng remained silent, his attitude neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but simply nodded to signal Iwai nosuke to continue his narration.
Then Iwai Nosuke continued, "In addition, during this period, Kitaoka Ryoko has been frequently visiting the French Concession. Although I don't know her intentions, it should be related to you."
Kitaoka Ryoko's arrangements in the French Concession were kept secret from Iwai Nosuke, but Iwai Nosuke, being observant, was able to guess some of the general situation.
"The French Concession?" Ning Zhiheng immediately became alert.
"Yes, Ryoko Kitaoka has a covert team in the French Concession. More than half a year ago, when Ryoko Kitaoka was first transferred to Shanghai, she arranged for three covert teams to enter the French Concession in order to find the Chinese agents lurking there. I was the leader of one of the covert teams. However, the Chinese agents in the French Concession were very powerful and quickly discovered us. In the ensuing conflict, we suffered heavy losses, and I only survived by chance. In the end, only one team was left. But Ryoko Kitaoka has never gone to the French Concession to meet with them unless necessary. However, recently, they have been meeting frequently. Today, Ryoko Kitaoka went to the French Concession again. So I judge that they must be preparing for a big operation. But she is very tight-lipped, and I never dare to ask her."
Ning Zhiheng was naturally very interested in the undercover team that Iwai no Nakaji had mentioned. This was Kitaoka Ryoko's last undercover force, and Ning Zhiheng had long wanted to eliminate it.
Ning Zhiheng asked, "Do you know the specifics of this undercover team?"
Iwai no Naoki shook his head and explained, "I don't know. At the time, the three infiltration teams were all operating independently and had no contact with each other. It was fortunate that they were like that, otherwise they would have been eliminated by Chinese agents months ago."
Ning Zhiheng was slightly disappointed, but he had guessed this would happen. It seemed that Iwai Nosuke didn't know much either. He smiled slightly and looked at Iwai Nosuke, saying slowly, "Iwai-kun, I'm very satisfied that you told me all this today. I didn't expect Kitaoka Ryoko to be secretly causing me trouble. I will teach her a lesson! But Iwai-kun, what are your plans? Is there anything you need me to do for you? If you have any requests, please feel free to tell me!"
Iwai nosuke quickly bowed and respectfully replied, "This humble servant has long admired Chairman Fujiwara's name. This time, Kitaoka Ryoko actually dared to try to deal with you. She is truly overestimating herself. Of course, I want to abandon the darkness and come to the light. I only ask to serve under you. I have no other request!"
