Seeing the changes in Ning Zhiheng's expression, Kitaoka Ryoko knew that she had finally grasped his weakness. This so-called Mrs. Tan must be Fujiwara Tomohito's woman, and also the key figure in handling Fujiwara Tomohito's smuggling channels.
"You're familiar with Mrs. Tan, Fujiwara-kun, but I don't know who her husband is. Now, Fujiwara-kun, I'd like to ask for your support. You won't refuse me this time, will you?"
At this moment, Ning Zhiheng no longer harbored any illusions. He never expected that Kitaoka Ryoko had already investigated Zuo Rou.
This suggests that their intelligence network may have also fallen into the enemy's sights, as this is their long-established stronghold.
Ning Zhiheng could no longer suppress his murderous intent. This woman was too dangerous! She had managed to sneak up on him without a word.
Kitaoka Ryoko must die!
Even if it means facing Tsuchihara Keiji head-on, Ning Zhiheng's decision will not be changed in any way.
Kitaoka Ryoko continued, "Please forgive me, but I had someone investigate some of Fujiwara-kun's situation before. What has always puzzled me is that since Fujiwara-kun came to Shanghai and established the Fujiwara Company, he has always been single. You have a prominent position and a noble status. You can have any woman you want with just a word. But even now, you don't have a single woman by your side. Even when you attend high-level banquets, you are alone. This makes me very curious. But when I met this Mrs. Tan, I learned the real reason."
At this point, Kitaoka Ryoko stared intently into Ning Zhiheng's eyes and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Your Chinese alias is Tan, is that correct?"
Kitaoka Ryoko's guesses were completely correct, especially the last sentence, which gave Ning Zhiheng a jolt!
He looked at Kitaoka Ryoko, and the coldness in his eyes startled her. Her intuition told her that he intended to kill her.
Although Kitaoka Ryoko had already mentally prepared herself, this time she was going all in and fighting to the death to see Ning Zhiheng, but seeing Ning Zhiheng's sharp gaze, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine, and a cold sweat broke out all over her body!
I seem to have overlooked something crucial. What exactly is it?
Her thoughts raced, and she immediately grasped that sliver of doubt in her mind!
My third undercover team had been working very well for more than half a year, and only recently began to fully investigate the Fujiwara Company's smuggling channels. Could it be that they lost track of each other during this work and were thus targeted?
Everything was fine before, but after I made contact with Mrs. Tan, the key figure in the Fujiwara Company's smuggling operations, a tragedy occurred that very night. I suffered a merciless blow, and all the members of my team were killed. Why is that?
There is no doubt that the infiltrator team died at the hands of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau. Their methods of operation, combat style, and the evidence they collected were exactly the same as the previous two times.
This makes it even harder to explain why the undercover team's investigation target was the Fujiwara Company, and they contacted Fujiwara Tomohito's agent, but in the end it was the Shanghai Intelligence Department that killed the undercover team members.
Wait a minute! Could the Fujiwara Company be the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau?
This thought suddenly appeared in Kitaoka Ryoko's mind, and once it appeared, it could not be erased or dispelled. She was even startled by her own wild and imaginative thoughts!
How is that possible?
That's impossible!
One is the largest Japanese trading company headed by top Japanese nobles, based in Shanghai in the Far East, controlling the smuggling kingdom in Central China, and a group with enormous influence in all sectors of Japanese society.
One is the most mysterious and unpredictable intelligence department in China's intelligence organization, known for its decisive actions and superior tactics. It is a powerful elite special agent force that has repeatedly dealt heavy blows to Japanese intelligence agencies and has maintained an undefeated record.
They are two completely unrelated organizations!
This idea is insane!
However, once Kitaoka Ryoko's suspicions arose, she could no longer calmly face Ning Zhiheng's scrutinizing gaze.
Ning Zhiheng stared intently at Kitaoka Ryoko for a long while before finally speaking: "Miss Ryoko, you have greatly disappointed me. I originally thought we could be friends, but it seems you don't have that intention. I think there's nothing more to discuss between us. You can leave now!"
Ning Zhiheng was a decisive and ruthless man. Once he had the will to kill, he would not hesitate and would immediately issue an order to leave.
Upon hearing this, Kitaoka Ryoko was extremely disappointed. She had not achieved her goal. The other party's attitude was firm and unmoved, even though she held many trump cards.
However, she cannot actually use these trump cards at this stage unless it's a matter of tearing each other apart and having a face-to-face confrontation, and Kitaoka Ryoko doesn't have that kind of confidence.
This time, I have finally suffered a complete defeat. It seems that I was too naive. Moreover, Fujiwara Tomohito is clearly intent on killing me. I must leave here as soon as possible.
Fortunately, she had made preparations beforehand, specifically choosing the Mulan Academy, a public clubhouse, and deliberately spreading the news that she was coming to meet with Chairman Fujiwara, making him hesitant and cautious. She figured Fujiwara Tomohito wouldn't act rashly.
She nodded respectfully in agreement and began to quickly pack up all the documents and photos, then put them into her briefcase. Ning Zhiheng watched her movements coldly, without making any move to stop her.
Of course, he wouldn't rashly kill Kitaoka Ryoko here. Everyone here knows that Kitaoka Ryoko entered his room and didn't come out again, which would be impossible to explain to outsiders. Besides, he had already prepared backup plans.
