Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, sighed, and said, "No need. I was just asking casually. I'll find out about the situation at No. 76 through other channels. You just need to do your job."
Ning Zhiheng only has Muyu as his mole at No. 76. Muyu only sends back intelligence when he obtains important information. Ning Zhiheng has not received any news from him yet, so he is probably unable to contact the arrested people.
The agents in No. 76 are no longer as easy to deal with as they were at the beginning. With the increase in professional agents, they have gradually taken control of key positions. The security system of No. 76's headquarters has become increasingly tight, and its implementation has become more and more thorough. No. 76 has now fully acquired the characteristics of an intelligence agency. Ding Mo and Li Zhiqun are building and improving the headquarters of the agents in accordance with the model of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
Muyu no longer has as easy access to classified information as before, and Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed by this situation.
For a long time afterward, the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters gradually took over the intelligence work in the puppet government area, and its influence spread throughout the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, becoming the number one enemy of China's intelligence agencies in Central China.
Ning Zhiheng secretly pondered that it seemed he needed to plant more spies in No. 76, and couldn't rely solely on the wooden fish as a single thread.
Ning Zhiheng and He Siming continued to exchange information. It was becoming increasingly difficult for the two of them to meet, mainly because He Siming's work had suddenly become much busier after becoming the liaison officer of the Special Higher Police. This was a far cry from his previous leisurely and carefree lifestyle. He was now working alongside Taro Sagawa and had to be ready to be dispatched by him at any time. He was also responsible for liaison work between the Special Higher Police and various other parties, and dealing with all sorts of people. It was becoming very difficult for him to find a fixed time to report to Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng checked the time, stood up, and said, "From now on, let's meet every Friday! In case of emergency, please use a public phone to notify me. The phone at the Fujiwara Company office is a dedicated line I set up; it's very secure, but try to use it as little as possible!"
He Siming nodded in agreement, and the two ended their meeting.
Ning Zhiheng left Nanwu Bookstore first, intending to return to Fujiwara Company, but his escort convoy was blocked by a large crowd of people and vehicles when it reached a street.
Kimura Maki immediately got out of the car with two guards to investigate the situation, and returned shortly afterward.
"President, there was an explosion in the block ahead twenty minutes ago, which killed and injured many people. The people from number 76 are currently investigating the scene. We need to take another route back."
Ning Zhiheng frowned and waved helplessly, so the vehicle turned around and changed course. Ning Zhiheng then asked, "Are people from Number 76 investigating the scene? Were the dead people from the new government?"
Sitting in the front seat, Kimura Maki quickly replied, "I asked around, and it turns out it was a deputy minister in the new government's information department. Someone planted explosives in his car, and he, along with his bodyguard and driver, were all killed in the explosion."
Looking out the window, Ning Zhiheng calmly said, "These people have gone mad for the sake of becoming officials. They worked so hard to come to Shanghai, and before they even took office, they lost their lives. It's truly pitiful!"
It turned out that during this period, Wang Hanmin and Wu Huarong's assassination attempts on Wang Tianhai had repeatedly failed and they suffered heavy losses, so they turned their attention to those important officials who followed the puppet government.
These traitors, who had already flocked to Shanghai to join the Wang Jingwei regime, were basking in their dreams of high-ranking positions and lucrative salaries when they were assassinated by agents from the Military Intelligence Bureau.
These people didn't have the same security treatment as their masters. Their protection was limited to a few bodyguards at most. The action team from the Shanghai station was quite capable of dealing with them, and this future deputy minister of the new government's information department was one of them.
Ning Zhiheng leaned back in his seat, a worried look on his face, and instructed Kimura Maki: "It seems that the Chinese agents are getting more and more active. Everyone needs to be on high alert during this period. I don't want to become someone else's target again."
"Yes, sir!" Kimura Maki quickly nodded in agreement!
"Shanghai is getting more and more chaotic!"
