At noon, at the Shanghai Customs Wharf, Yi Hua'an, along with Kimura Maki, the head of the Fujiwara Company's security team, and a group of bodyguards, quietly waited for the passengers on the passenger ship to disembark.
They soon spotted Ning Zhiheng, and Yi Dong'an and Kimura Maki quickly stepped forward.
"President, you must be tired from your journey!"
Ning Zhiheng smiled and nodded without saying a word. Kimura Maki took the suitcase from Ning Zhiheng's hand, and Yi Hua'an turned around and led Ning Zhiheng to the convoy.
Once seated in his car, Ning Zhiheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The car started and drove home.
Looking at the scenery flashing past the car window, Ning Zhiheng finally spoke after a long while: "Shanghai is still the most bustling and prosperous city. It feels like I've been away for a long time since I left here more than a month ago."
Yi Dong'an said meaningfully, "Chairman, although you were gone for a short time, Shanghai has changed a lot. Without you here, everyone was uneasy. Now that you're back, everything is fine!"
Ning Zhiheng understood what Yi Dong'an meant. The situation in Shanghai was more difficult than ever before, and everyone was waiting for him to return and take charge. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, our Fujiwara Company is not a small boat. No matter how big the waves are on the Huangpu River, we won't capsize."
The conversation between the two left Kimura Maki, who was sitting in front, somewhat confused. However, he didn't need to worry about these things; he just needed to do his job and follow the chairman's instructions.
The convoy soon arrived home. Ning Zhiheng went upstairs, took a comfortable hot shower, ate a simple meal, and went to his study. Yi Dong'an followed closely behind. After closing the door, Yi Dong'an began to give Ning Zhiheng a detailed report on everything that had happened in Shanghai during this period.
Ning Zhiheng was far away in Chongqing and learned about many things from telegrams. Now, hearing Yi Dong'an's personal report, he finally understood the specific situation.
Ning Zhiheng asked, "How are the personnel at Shanghai Station doing now? Have they been settled?"
Yi Dong'an nodded and replied, "They've all been settled. Section Chief Huo has chosen two separate villas for them, with our eyes and ears and surveillance points all around. The defenses are tight, so there won't be any problems. Their wounded have also received timely treatment and are all fine now."
Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "The intelligence from Muyu mentioned that the failure at the Shanghai station this time was mainly because Luo Zidong cooperated with No. 76 to find the Shanghai station's foothold?"
Yi Dong'an nodded and said, "Yes, according to his investigation, the cause was that Li Zhiqun colluded with Luo Zidong through Li Yunqing's connections. That Luo Zidong is indeed quite capable, and he managed to find a foothold in Shanghai Station in a short period of time, which ultimately led to the current situation."
Ning Zhiheng smirked and said with resentment, "If only we had eliminated him and Lu Tianqiao together back then! They've become a major threat after all! We need to be careful that this guy doesn't cause any more trouble!"
Yi Hua'an nodded and said, "Section Chief Huo has already begun preparations to eliminate Luo Zidong. However, you instructed that when you are not around, we can only conduct intelligence activities and cannot take any armed action without authorization, so we are waiting for your instructions!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment. Of course, Luo Zidong had to be eliminated. However, before he returned this time, the Director had instructed him to eliminate Wang Hanmin as soon as possible to prevent Wang Hanmin from continuing to undermine the Military Intelligence Bureau's organization. Therefore, his primary target was Wang Hanmin. If Luo Zidong were killed first, it would inevitably alert Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin. So, he had to deal with Wang Hanmin first. As for Luo Zidong, he could let him live for a few more days.
However, Wang Hanmin is currently hiding in the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, under the tight protection of the agents. The location of the Special Agent Headquarters, Jessfield Road, is almost entirely occupied by No. 76 departments, making it a veritable den of dragons and tigers. Forcing his way in is absolutely impossible.
He needs to thoroughly and in detail understand the specific situation before he can formulate a suitable action plan.
Ning Zhiheng was known as the top operative of the Military Intelligence Bureau because he never acted rashly. He always did his homework before each operation, finding the most suitable action in a complex situation, and acting decisively and accurately.
Then he remembered something else and asked again, "By the way, Muyu said there's an opportunity to advance further soon and become the head of the First Division of No. 76?"
Yi Dong'an nodded. He also took this matter very seriously. Mu Yu was his most important intelligence agent, and several major intelligence reports were delivered by Mu Yu. He replied, "Mu Yu's work at No. 76 is very effective. He plans to take advantage of the conflict between Ding Mo and Li Zhiqun to do some work. If he can gain even more power, it will be very beneficial to our work."
Ning Zhiheng paced back and forth in the room several times. He also felt that Mu Yu's intelligence was becoming increasingly valuable, and he should strengthen his contact with him. Besides, he was going to personally oversee the assassination of Wang Hanmin, which required Mu Yu's help. So he said, "Tell Mu Yu that I want to see him in person!"
Ning Zhiheng's words startled Yi Dong'an, but he didn't say anything more. The director had his reasons for making this decision, and his subordinates always carried out Ning Zhiheng's decisions thoroughly without any discount.
Yi Dong'an nodded in acceptance and turned to go out and make the arrangements.
In the senior cadre apartment next to the No. 76 government building, Wang Hanmin was embracing his family and weeping bitterly. The arrival of his wife and son finally put his mind at ease, and Wang Hanmin couldn't help but shed tears.
His wife, Ren Yiwen, sobbed softly, “At first, we didn’t know what had happened. They said you had sought refuge with Wang Tianhai in Shanghai and asked them to come and pick up our son. How could I believe it? In the end, they killed Old Li and his wife. I was afraid they would hurt Hao’er, so I had no choice but to escape with them. I was on tenterhooks the whole way. Seeing you today, I can finally relax.”
