“Yes, in the past six months, our agents have suffered heavy losses. Our old adversary, the Chinese military intelligence investigation department, has suddenly become unrecognizable, using some unknown method, and has repeatedly succeeded in our operations. There must be a major secret behind this, and our mission is to find out that secret!” Takeshita Kenji said helplessly.
At this moment, a team member handed over the documents in his hand: "Team leader, these documents have been compiled. Among them is the information on our most important target, the Operations Section of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. This is also the most active department of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department in the past six months. Almost every operation against us was initiated by them. Team leader Yuji Imai also specifically instructed us to do so."
Kenji Takeshita quickly took the document and began to sort and organize it. He soon stopped and asked in confusion, "The information on the main officers of the Operations Section has been collected, but there is so little information on the leader of the Fourth Operations Group. There is only one name: Ning Zhiheng!"
He looked up and asked doubtfully, "The information says he's only twenty-one years old this year. Could there be an error? He's so young to be a military commander, and he's only graduated six months ago. Haven't we been able to collect his photo yet?"
Ohno Seihei quickly replied, "This information was collected by me. Ning Zhiheng is indeed a recent graduate of a Chinese military academy, but he is highly regarded by the higher-ups. In just half a year, he has been promoted one after another and is now one of the most powerful figures in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department."
Unfortunately, the insider we bribed wasn't high-ranking and could only provide us with some basic information. As for Ning Zhiheng, because he rose to power so quickly and rarely interacted with outsiders, we knew very little about him and could only rely on hearsay. More detailed information would take time.
As for photos, that's even more difficult. Ning Zhiheng is very careful; he never takes photos with anyone, let alone any photos at all. It's very difficult for us to collect them. However, Ikeda and Yamauchi have been looking for opportunities to photograph all the officers entering and leaving the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau these days. If we can get our informant to identify them, we should be able to find his photos.
Kenji Takeshita was still somewhat dissatisfied. He knew that Seihei Ohno had bribed an informant in the military intelligence investigation department these past few days and had made quite a profit.
He then asked, "Okay, could you have your insider provide some more specific information, such as the officers' hometowns, their family situations, their financial circumstances, and so on, the more detailed the better."
Ohno Seihei said with a wry smile, "This guy has a huge appetite. He's already spent three thousand dollars. If he wants more detailed information, he's asking for five thousand dollars. We don't have that much money on us!"
“Then let’s agree to his request for now. Money is not a problem. I’ll figure out a way. As long as he dares to accept it, he won’t be able to do what he wants in the future. Being able to plant a mole in a department like the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, Ohno-kun, your achievement this time is enough to make you rise to the top.” Takeshita Kenji said seriously.
"Understood, I will contact him immediately and arrange the next transaction!" Ohno Seihei was overjoyed to hear Takeshita Kenji's words. He hadn't expected to have such a fruitful trip to Nanjing. This was an excellent opportunity for him.
These people were exchanging information and organizing data in the warehouse, completely unaware that the entire cotton mill was now surrounded by their adversaries, and an elite team of agents had already infiltrated their ranks.
Ning Zhiheng waited patiently in the darkness, having enough confidence in Sun Jiacheng to believe he wouldn't let him down.
As he expected, his extremely sensitive hearing quickly picked up on a strange sound coming from the wind, which was coming from a rooftop on the west side.
Sun Jiacheng quickly returned, nodded to Ning Zhiheng, and the dagger in his hand still had bloodstains on it.
Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed. He turned around and waved to those behind him. Immediately, all the team members dispersed under the cover of darkness and silently surrounded the old warehouse. Twenty snipers with long guns occupied the nearby high ground.
The operation is now largely complete. The entire old warehouse is under control. If these spies dare to break through, not to mention the numerous team members, these twenty rifles alone can riddle them with bullets!
