However, after Li Zhiqun returned to Shanghai, several assassination cases began to occur in the city, especially the cases of Chen Jinbao and Fu Shengan, which caused a sensation and made the whole city go crazy.
Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Luo Xingchao became even more uncertain. He said vaguely, "It's all thanks to the director's excellent leadership. I dare not take credit!"
Seeing Fujiwara Tomohito gently questioning Luo Xingchao, Li Zhiqun was secretly surprised. However, getting through this ordeal was the most important thing at the moment. He hoped that Fujiwara Tomohito would not mention the smuggling matter, so he quickly smiled and said, "What you say is true, sir. Director Luo is in charge of the daily affairs of the Special Agent Headquarters. He is shrewd and capable, and is my most capable assistant. He is also a talent valued by General Kagesa and Colonel Haruki."
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Oh! It seems that Li Jun values you quite a bit! Haha, alright, if you need anything in the future, Luo Jun, you can come directly to me, no need to be so polite!"
Upon hearing this, both Li Zhiqun and Luo Xingchao showed expressions of surprise and delight. Li Zhiqun quickly nudged Luo Xingchao, who immediately stood up, bowed deeply, and solemnly said, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, sir. I will certainly do my utmost to serve you and will never fail to live up to your expectations!"
Li Zhiqun was overjoyed at this moment. He had always wanted to curry favor with Fujiwara Tomohito, but this powerful figure had never been fond of him. Unexpectedly, he was quite fond of Luo Xingchao. With this relationship, at least he wouldn't have to worry about him continuing to target the Special Agent Headquarters.
As for whether Luo Xingchao threatens his position, that's something to consider later. In fact, he knows very well that if the Japanese really intended for Luo Xingchao to replace him, they would have done so long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.
Ning Zhiheng made a reassuring gesture, indicating for Luo Xingchao to sit down, then cleared his throat and continued, "Mr. Li, I am very sorry about what happened this time. I was not aware beforehand that this was General Yingzuo's intention, so I acted somewhat hastily. You don't mind, do you?"
"No, no, you're too kind!" Li Zhiqun waved his hands repeatedly in fright, but cursed inwardly. These Japanese were so hypocritical. They were the ones who ordered the military police to kill and rob goods, yet they acted all gentle and refined. Now that they were apologizing, did they think his men would come back to life?
"General Kagesa will communicate with me about the rest, so you don't need to worry about it. However..."
At this point, Ning Zhiheng glanced coldly at Li Zhiqun, speaking in as calm a tone as possible, and said slowly, "This is the last time. If you can't do it, I won't give you another chance. Do you understand?"
"Understood, understood. I guarantee that this will never happen again. Otherwise, you may do as you please without complaint!" Li Zhiqun assured him repeatedly.
The matter was finally over, and Li Zhiqun and Luo Xingchao both breathed a sigh of relief. Since Kageyama Hiroki had already intervened, Fujiwara Tomohito obviously wouldn't hold it against them. As for what kind of agreement these two big shots would reach in private, that was not something for people of their rank to worry about; they would just follow orders from now on.
"Alright, it's getting late, I won't keep you any longer!" Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, glancing at his watch before standing up.
Li Zhiqun and Luo Xingchao quickly stood up, bowed, and watched Ning Zhiheng leave the reception room. At this moment, Kimura Maki walked in and made a gesture of invitation, the intention of which was self-evident.
"Thank you for your trouble!" Li Zhiqun quickly said politely, and the two of them followed Kimura Maki out of the Fujiwara Company.
Only after they stepped out the door and Kimura Maki turned and left did Li Zhiqun and Luo Xingchao finally breathe a long sigh of relief, their tense nerves relaxing instantly.
Li Zhiqun calmed himself down, wiped his forehead, and then said, "We've finally gotten through this. Xingchao, your judgment was right. Fujiwara didn't make things difficult for us. It was a close call!"
Luo Xingchao also gave a wry smile and said, "My palms were sweating just now, I was afraid of handling things wrong. Fortunately, I was lucky. Chairman Fujiwara at least gave General Kagesa face and didn't bother to argue with us, otherwise..."
The two were still shaken. They comforted each other and were relieved to have escaped a disaster. They dared not linger there any longer. They called to the waiting guards, hurriedly got into the car, and left quickly.
