Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious now. Thank you for your concern, Miss Liangzi."
He paused slightly at this point, then asked casually, "I wonder if Miss Ryoko is getting along well with everyone at the Muran Academy?"
Kitaoka Ryoko smiled and said, "It's wonderful. It feels like being with a close friend. I really like it here."
“That’s wonderful. By the way, I had a little unpleasantness with General Tsuchihara this time. Miss Ryoko, could you please put in a good word for me with General Tsuchihara and say that I was inconsiderate and ask him to forgive me?” Ning Zhiheng said to Kitaoka Ryoko.
Looking at Ning Zhiheng's sincere face, Kitaoka Ryoko knew perfectly well that this Fujiwara Tomohito was excellent in both singing and recitation and had an elegant demeanor, but he probably didn't take it seriously at all. If he were really sincere, why would he need her to relay his message?
Kitaoka Ryoko smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured, Fujiwara-kun, I will definitely explain things to the teacher for you. If you and the teacher have a chance to get together and exchange ideas, there won't be any misunderstandings. Ryoko also hopes to get along well with Fujiwara-kun. Please take good care of me in the future!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng laughed and said, "Miss Liangzi is too kind. However, let's not meet. Actually, I know that General Tsuchihara was very unhappy that I refused his kindness many times before. If we meet again, it will inevitably bring up the past, which will be awkward for everyone. I believe Miss Liangzi would not want that either!"
Kitaoka Ryoko was taken aback. The other party seemed to be implying something, and she didn't know how to respond. The car quickly took Kitaoka Ryoko back to her residence.
Kitaoka Ryoko got out of the car and turned to invite Ning Zhiheng, but Ning Zhiheng didn't even get out of the car. He just nodded slightly at the car window, and the two parted ways.
Watching the car drive away, Kitaoka Ryoko couldn't help but frown. The other party remained very calm throughout, showing no signs of the admiration a young man should have for a beautiful woman like her. His words were filled with wariness, clearly indicating that this carefully planned meeting had not achieved the desired effect.
Although she had previously judged that Fujiwara Tomohito was not someone who could be easily manipulated or influenced, his calmness and composure still gave Kitaoka Ryoko a sense of frustration. It seemed that the task assigned by her teacher was not easy to complete.
Late at night, outside a casino in western Shanghai, a man in his thirties dressed in black silk and satin walked out of the gate looking dejected. He searched through his pockets but couldn't find a single cigarette. He cursed under his breath and walked listlessly toward home.
Before long, he returned to his home, took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.
But when he turned on the light, he saw a figure sitting upright on the broken chair in his own house. He was so frightened that he jumped up and frantically tried to draw his gun.
"Old Fan, don't be nervous, it's me!"
The sound startled the man. He looked up and realized that the person who had broken into his home was Luo Xingchao, the head of the intelligence section of the First Division of the Special Agent Headquarters.
"Section Chief Luo, what an honor to have you here! What brings you to my dilapidated temple?" Fan He, the squad leader of the Special Agent Headquarters Guard Brigade, asked curiously, but his hand was still on his waist. He couldn't figure out the other party's purpose for coming so late at night, and he was always uneasy.
Luo Xingchao ignored his question, instead glancing around Fan He's house. He couldn't help but curl his lip and drawl out, "Old Fan, you're supposed to be a big shot in the Green Gang, how come you live in such a dilapidated house? I've been looking for you for ages!"
Fan He was somewhat bewildered when he heard Luo Xingchao talking to him about these irrelevant things. He had been involved in gangs since childhood and had picked up a lot of bad habits, including drinking, gambling, whoring, and gambling. He would throw any money he had into the casino. If he hadn't been a brave and ruthless person and a big shot in the Green Gang, he would have been hacked to death in the street by the casino people long ago.
He had always been under Li Yunqing's tutelage. Later, Wu Shicai also joined the gang, and Li Yunqing arranged for him to follow Wu Shicai. Wu Shicai was a gun repairman in the Green Gang. The gang's old guns would be handed over to Wu Shicai and his men for repair. After repairing them, they would go to the outskirts to test the guns. Over time, several of Wu Shicai's men became skilled marksmen. This time, Ding Mo and Li Zhiqun from the Special Agent Department asked Li Yunqing for people, so Li Yunqing gave these capable and aggressive men to Ding Mo. Thus, Fan He transformed into the action captain of the Special Agent Department.
