Ning Zhiheng walked out of the office, and at this time, Yi Huaan, the secretary who was guarding the door, greeted him and asked, "President, are you going out?"

Ning Zhiheng shook his head and ordered, "I am a little tired today, so go home and have a rest first."

Yi Huaan quickly said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said again: "No, I just go back by myself, no one needs to follow."

Yi Huaan was stunned. Ning Zhiheng usually has people to protect him. What's wrong today?

But he nodded quickly and turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Now in Shanghai, with the growth of Fujiwara Corporation, it has gradually become a giant ship in the business world. Even if it is not smuggled, even if it is to operate ordinary goods, Fujiwara Corporation has developed rapidly and has quickly become one of the largest trading companies.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the deep background of President Tomohito Fujiwara, so Tomohito Fujiwara can be said to have a prominent position and has a great influence among the top leaders in Shanghai. Especially when his identity is a Japanese aristocrat at this time, it is easy to become the target of attack by Chinese anti-Japanese groups, so he must pay great attention to safety when traveling.

In the past, I traveled in a car, with a driver and a bodyguard accompanying me. Now, every time I enter and exit, I need two cars, two drivers and four bodyguards accompanying me.

As a large chamber of commerce in Shanghai, Fujiwara's own security work cannot be ignored. Ning Zhiheng ordered Hirao Daichi to recruit many young and middle-aged people who have undergone military training and certain skills among the Japanese expatriates, equipped with guns and weapons, and are usually responsible for Fujiwara's safety work.

Ning Zhiheng had six bodyguards with him, and they were carefully selected from them. Each of them had good skills and a certain level of education. They were all trained experts.

Ning Zhiheng's original idea was to use his operational personnel in the intelligence department to be responsible for his escort work, but after thinking about it over and over again, he gave up this idea. After all, the fewer people know about the Japanese identity of Fujiwara, the safer it is. Even the direct descendants around him and the cruel struggle between the enemy and us cannot completely guarantee his absolute loyalty.

There are many conveniences when using Japanese guards. First of all, there is no need to worry about problems in language, and secondly, safety can be guaranteed. After all, in the eyes of these Japanese expatriates, they are a noble class with huge wealth groups and prominent status, which makes them more likely to gain allegiance. They don’t have to worry about leaking their identities. The trade-offs are still more beneficial than disadvantages.

Usually Ning Zhiheng travels with all drivers and bodyguards, but today Ning Zhiheng chooses to travel in a low-key manner. Yi Huaan has always been absolutely obedient to Ning Zhiheng's life without any discount, so he has to obey Ning Zhiheng's arrangements.

Ning Zhiheng did not drive his own car, but walked towards his home.

It was January 1939, and it was the twelfth month of winter. Even though Shanghai was not as cold as the north, the cold wind on the streets was still wet and cold. Ning Zhiheng raised his collar, put on a top hat, and stepped on the streets of Shanghai.

Fujiwara Club is a distance from Ning Zhiheng's villa, and it takes about 40 minutes to walk. His footsteps are very fast. He looked at the pedestrians on the street, carefully observed every house and shop, and came to the entrance of Xinle Park.

Ning Zhiheng came here today to find the traces of farmer Xia Deyan. Xinle Park is the place agreed upon by Ning Zhiheng and the farmer. After the farmer comes to Shanghai, he will open a new bluestone tea house nearby.

Ning Zhiheng chose this location because it is not far from Ning Zhiheng's residence. It is one of the larger scenic spots nearby. If there is important information to be contacted, you can pass it to farmers in time.

Ning Zhiheng looked around the pedestrians, chose a direction, and stepped on the street again to search.

It has been a while since he returned to Shanghai, but he has not found the newly opened Qingshi Tea House near Xinle Park several times.

In fact, Ning Zhiheng also knew that he was a little anxious. The transportation during the Republic of China period was not well developed. It took a long time to travel from Chongqing to Shanghai, especially during the war period, when the firefighting between the two sides occurred frequently, and the area of ​​the occupied areas was changing all the time. The war was in chaos and the road was not safe.

The reason why Ning Zhiheng was able to return to Shanghai quickly was because he had dedicated channels and dedicated personnel escorts, which were much more convenient and safer than ordinary people.

The farmer must have arrived a lot later than himself when he came to Shanghai. Moreover, every inch of land is valuable, renting shops and decoration stores, decorating purchase channels, etc. In short, opening a tea shop is not an easy task.

So Ning Zhiheng estimated the time and took time to come to Xinle Park again today and began to look for the traces of the farmers.

The area near Xinle Park is very large, including three blocks. Shanghai has developed commercial business and various shops are everywhere on the street. Ning Zhiheng walked and looked at it.

Fortunately, he was lucky this time, so he finally saw a brand new store on a street corner where several workers were busy. The signboard of the store had not been hung out yet, and it should be still being made, but he could clearly see Xia Deyan in the store directing the decoration workers to set up the arrangement.

"Put the sign a little more, just right, and then right, right, that's it!"

"Little brother, you have a lighter hand. These are all good tea pots. I spent a lot of money to customize them."

Looking at Xia Deyan's busy figure, Ning Zhiheng finally felt relieved. Xia Deyan had not arrived in Shanghai for a long time. He was still worried about whether there was an accident on the road. Now it seems that everything is going well.

After determining the location of the Qingshi Tea House and the place where the farmer Xia Deyan settled, Ning Zhiheng no longer delayed and turned around and walked towards his home.

Xia Deyan did not notice the situation outside the store. He directed the workers to speed up the construction. He did not go smoothly on the way from Chongqing to Shanghai, and he wasted a lot of time on the road. As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he immediately started to open a Qingshi Tea House so that he could contact the shadow as soon as possible.

"Boss Xia, why do you have to open a back door behind your store? In fact, it is not necessary, but it is easy to attract thieves..." A construction worker walked out of the back room and asked in confusion.

Xia Deyan explained with a smile: "I have been used to it for many years and I like to be transparent from the front and back. Just do what I said!"

In an apartment in the French Concession in Shanghai, Zhang Pu and Liao Qinglin were whispering to discuss with his own information.

"Captain, this time the action was done by our action team? There was no sign of any sign in advance, so I can cooperate!" Zhang Puhe said.

Liao Qinglin smiled and said, "I have not received any notice before the specific action. This action was sudden and has nothing to do with us. Tell me, what is the situation in the French Concession now?"

"The Japanese are negotiating in the French consulate, but they are just official articles. They can't hurt our muscles and bones. I have handed over all the case reports. The Japanese will not gain anything, but the stalker Iwai Nosuke was taken away by the Japanese. I wonder if there will be any trouble in the future?"

Zhang Puhe told everything he knew.

"There is another thing. Sun Guanglin and Tian Anyi, who we monitored, have not taken any abnormal actions until now. The brothers who followed them have not found any contact with anyone. This is not true!"

When Liao Qinglin heard his words, he couldn't help but say in confusion: "After such a big incident, more than a dozen Japanese agents were killed, they should report to their superiors."

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment: "Will it be that our judgment direction is wrong? There may be problems with their identities, but they may not be Japanese agents."

However, Zhang Puhe disagreed with his point of view. He was very confident in his vision. The time when Sun Guanglin and Tian Anyi appeared was too coincidental, which happened to be roughly the same as the time when the Japanese lurked into the French Concession. There were many doubts on them, which needed a reasonable explanation.

Zhang Puhe thought for a while and said, "I still insist that the identities of these two people are problematic. I am wondering now whether they have overlooked an important thing. If these two people are really Japanese agents, they don't have to report to their superiors, because they are very clear that our police station will definitely inform the Japanese of the detailed case to avoid getting into trouble. In this case, it is unnecessary for them to take risks and connect online. Could it be that it is because of this reason that they did not contact online?"

Liao Qinglin nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked again: "Since you insist that these two people have problems, then monitor them for a while and find out which aspects of theirs they are."

Zhang Puhe continued: "When I was chatting with Radaming two days ago, I asked about the details of these two people. He said that Sun Guanglin and Tian Anyi were a friend of Chen Jiaping, who was begging him to introduce him. He was a fellow villager of this woman. I sent someone to inquire these two days. Chen Jiaping played a hot game with a top card in the Shuyuan named An Ruwei during this period. It is said that she spent money to redeem her. An Ruwei appeared in the French Concession for not long, which was more than a month ago. This time was too coincidental. I want to monitor An Ruwei and see what the problem is with this woman?"

Liao Qinglin immediately raised his spirits, and was another doubtful target. He nodded and agreed: "I will arrange this matter. I will report to the team leader immediately and dispatch some personnel to follow An Ruwei."
