He Siming looked troubled and said again, "Please forgive me, for now I can only keep it safe. You can discuss it with Mr. Kanda when he returns. This is the only way for now!"
Kitaoka Ryoko was somewhat discouraged, so she said, "Alright then, Takeshita-kun, you can't go back to the Special Higher Police with the engraving. I'll take you back to the base to rest first, and you can hand over the work when Mr. Kanda returns!"
He Siming quickly replied, "Yes, I understand!"
So Kitaoka Ryoko sent He Siming's men back to the Special Higher Police headquarters, while she, along with He Siming and two other experts, returned to the library building.
The group arrived at the library building, where a team of special agents were on guard at the entrance. Seeing Kitaoka Ryoko's car return, they quickly opened the gate to let the convoy in.
He Siming got out of the car carrying a suitcase, looked up at the building, and couldn't help but say, "So the base is here. It's not far from headquarters!"
Kitaoka Ryoko knew that Takeshita Shinya never cared about field missions and had no prior knowledge of Project Eclipse. To be honest, after the ambush more than ten days ago, most of the Special Higher Police agents now knew the location of the printing base. In other words, Takeshita Shinya had just returned from Japan and was still unaware of these matters.
Although Kitaoka Ryoko looked down on Takeshita Shinya's work ability, she never doubted his loyalty and reliability.
If there's anyone in the Special Higher Police Department she can truly trust, it's definitely Takeshita-kun, who's indifferent to everything, lazy, and prone to shirking responsibility.
“Takeshita-kun, this place is no longer a secret. Even our enemies know about this base,” Kitaoka Ryoko said, nodding.
After saying that, she gestured to her subordinates to bring the other two experts into the building, and He Siming followed her into the building.
As they walked, Kitaoka Ryoko said, "We originally thought leaving the base was very secret, but we were still discovered by Chinese agents. Just twelve days ago, Chinese agents organized over a hundred people to launch a forced attack on this base, which we wiped out. So now it's no secret to either side!"
He Siming was shocked to hear this. How could such a thing happen? Fortunately, he knew that the task of destroying the legal tender was not in the hands of the intelligence department. He also saw Ning Zhiheng safe and sound at the customs dock today, so he was relieved.
"Team leader, now that this place is known to both the enemy and ourselves, why not move to another location?" He Siming couldn't help but ask.
Kitaoka Ryoko smiled confidently and said calmly, "I want the enemy to know about this place. I'm going to use it as a trap to lure our biggest rival and have a showdown with them here!"
"The biggest rival?" He Siming looked puzzled.
"Haha, Takeshita-kun, this is not something for you to worry about. Please come with me!" Kitaoka Ryoko said with a smile.
She didn't want to say much to this subordinate. If the woodblock printing plates weren't currently in his hands and she wasn't unable to hand them over, Kitaoka Ryoko wouldn't have allowed Takeshita Shinya into the building.
He Siming followed Kitaoka Ryoko into the lobby on the first floor. He Siming looked around and secretly memorized everything he saw.
The base was indeed well-prepared, with an iron gate guarding each stairwell and two officers behind each gate, as well as personnel on duty in each stairwell.
They were all taken aback when they saw He Siming. They glanced at Kitaoka Ryoko and, after receiving her approval, opened the iron gate and let them in.
They went up to the fourth floor. The iron gate at the top of the stairs was completely sealed, and only Kitaoka Ryoko had the key. Kitaoka Ryoko stepped forward and opened the iron gate. Several figures flashed out from the doorway, all of whom were Kitaoka Ryoko's own trusted confidants.
He Siming carried the metal box and followed Kitaoka Ryoko into the fourth floor. He then discovered that this floor was very different from the other three floors. It must have been renovated a lot later. Several rooms inside had been opened up and a large set of machinery had been installed.
“Come here!” Kitaoka Ryoko gestured for He Siming to come to a thick iron door on the east side, took out a special key, and slowly pushed the door open.
He Siming followed her into the room and was immediately stunned by what he saw!
