Miao Yongyi took it, wrote down the specific address, then took out a box of matches, lit a match, and burned the paper clean.
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I have personally surveyed the terrain there. It is right opposite the main gate of the East Courtyard. There are many stalls and houses for doing business. Send someone to take one over and have them disguise themselves as merchants to wait there."
Then buy the best camera and start taking pictures of people entering and exiting through this gate. Don't be afraid to spend money; take as many pictures as possible. Remember, pay special attention to those in plainclothes. These people should understand Chinese, so they are more likely to be sent to Chongqing or Changsha. I need to gather information about them in advance.
Miao Yongyi looked at Ning Zhiheng in surprise, feeling a little ashamed. He hadn't expected that Ning Zhiheng would obtain so much important intelligence as soon as he arrived in Wuhan, while he himself had been lying in wait in Wuhan for nearly a year without achieving anything. The difference between the two was simply too great.
He nodded emphatically, then asked, "Where should I send the photos?"
"Send someone to Chongqing to deliver the completed film rolls, and personally hand them over to Deputy Director Wei. After that, deliver them every so often, the exact timing is up to you, but it's best not to exceed half a month. As for when to stop, I will let you know!"
"Understood!"
After the two of them had arranged everything, Ning Zhiheng solemnly said, "Yongyi, my mission in Wuhan is over, and I'm about to return to Chongqing. This is the end of our brotherhood, and we don't know when we'll meet again. You'll be staying behind enemy lines, so please take good care of yourself."
Miao Yongyi forced a smile. He was also extremely reluctant to part with Ning Zhiheng. The war was ongoing and he didn't know when it would end. Both of them were living with their lives on the line, and it was really hard to say what would happen in the future. He didn't expect to see Ning Zhiheng again soon. He would be very fortunate if he could see him again someday.
He stepped forward and held Ning Zhiheng's hands tightly, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. You take good care of yourself too. Oh, and please take good care of my family for me. It's a pity I don't know when I'll be able to see them again!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded in agreement: "I'll take care of everything. Your parents and siblings live with my family, so you don't need to worry. Just take good care of yourself!"
Although the two brothers were reluctant to part, they hugged and then went their separate ways.
The next day, at the Hankou Wharf, Ning Zhiheng and Yamada Nobuyuki bid each other farewell.
Ning Zhiheng smiled and said to Yamada Nobuyuki, "Yamada-kun, I was really worried about things in Shanghai, so I had to leave in a hurry. Thank you for your hospitality this time. I hope you will have the opportunity to come to Shanghai. Please let me know so we can have a good get-together!"
Yamada Nobuyuki looked regretful. He hadn't expected that Ning Zhiheng wouldn't stay even a day after hearing the news from Shanghai.
He advised, "Sir, it wouldn't be too late for you to stay a few more days and leave after General Uehara returns."
Ning Zhiheng sighed and said, "I'd better not wait any longer. There are too many things to do at the Chamber of Commerce. Now that the situation in Shanghai has improved, I'm really eager to go home. When my uncle comes back, you can explain to him for me."
Yamada Nobuyuki had no choice but to nod in agreement. The two waved goodbye, and Ning Zhiheng and the others boarded the passenger ship, heading towards Nanjing.
The return journey was a day faster than the outward journey because it was downstream. After arriving in Nanjing, he transferred to a train and finally made it back to Shanghai two days later.
