"Since the British have taken away all the belongings and personal belongings of Naoto Yanagawa, the drawings must have fallen into their hands. How can they say they are not successful?" Ning Zhiheng asked.

Huo Yueze explained: "According to Yong Feng's news, this time, the British did not succeed. As soon as the Notting passenger ship was docked, it was seized by the British garrison on the grounds of safety hazards. It was taken to the dock and conducted a carpet-style search. The search has not been completed yet. It can be imagined that the drawings should not be obtained yet.

Moreover, even the passengers on the Notting had been searched to varying degrees after getting off the ship. The British made great moves this time, and they obviously had a little hasty response."

Ning Zhiheng immediately understood that if the British succeeded, they would naturally leave quietly and make a fortune in silence. They would never do so obviously. Making such a big noise would be a breakup.

He thought for a moment and asked another possibility: "You said, will the drawings still be on the three companions of Naoto Yanagawa, and the Japanese are calling for catching the thief, so they set up a suspicion array?"

Huo Yueze shook his head and said, "I don't think it should be. The technical transactions between the Japanese and Germans are very hidden. If the drawings were not lost, the Japanese would not have reacted so much.

Besides, Naoto Yanagawa is the leader of these people. If it were me, it would never be possible for me to hand it over to others for safekeeping. Moreover, when these three Japanese spies were disembarked by the British garrison for a period of time. They were carefully searched, but later they were found to be fruitless, so they were released."

Huo Yueze's quick thinking and thoughtful and meticulous consideration of problems made Ning Zhiheng very satisfied.

"Well, it makes sense!" Ning Zhiheng nodded slightly and frowned, "That's strange. The British have put in such great strength and even show off their cars and horses with the Japanese, but in the end they have found nothing. Did these two drawings grow wings and fly by themselves?"

Huo Yueze quickly said: "Yong Feng is also very surprised by the performance of both parties. According to her judgment, the loss of the drawings is likely to be a third party involved. Her people are still continuing to investigate the subsequent situation. After attending the intelligence gathering yesterday, she rushed back to Hong Kong today. She and I have agreed that once there is a new situation, they will be sold to us as soon as possible."

"Third-party forces? Are you saying that someone is profitable? Who will it be?" Ning Zhiheng asked in confusion.

Judging from the current developments, the forces that can be imagined are doing their best to find the drawings, which means that the drawings have not yet reached their hands. So who will this third-party force be?

Huo Yueze was also unknown, and his eyes turned around with Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng thought for a while, shook his head in disappointment, and continued: "It seems that it is impossible to count on Yong Feng. The drawings have either fallen into the hands of third parties, or they are still in Hong Kong and cannot flow to Shanghai. We cannot waste here, we must take the initiative to find them."

Suddenly he thought of something and asked quickly: "Did Yong Feng only sell this news to you, or did he have contact with others?"

"Others have contact with me, and I want to buy out the news, but Yong Feng disagreed, and others have been staring at her for a long time, especially Anderson and Phillips. These news will soon reach the ears of all forces."

"Let's go to Hong Kong!"

Ning Zhiheng finally made up his mind that once these news spread, all forces would know that it would be difficult for the Shanghai intelligence market to have a result. In this way, they would concentrate their intelligence forces to Hong Kong. It would be a waste of effort to stay in Shanghai.

These two drawings are really important and have too much to do with. Both the underground party organization and the Chongqing headquarters require him to spare no effort to implement them, so he must not be slacking off at all.

However, the intelligence department has limited power in Hong Kong. When Ning Zhiheng sent Chen Ling's intelligence team to Hong Kong, he issued a special order. The Hong Kong intelligence team was specially responsible for smuggling channels and was only responsible for commercial operations.

Therefore, the development of the intelligence team in Hong Kong is mainly economic, and it has sufficient economic strength at present. In addition to Fujiwara Corporation, other members of the intelligence team have also established many peripheral enterprises, such as shipping companies, logistics companies, and real estate companies. On the contrary, they have cooperative relationships with Fujiwara Corporation, but in fact they are subordinate units of the intelligence team. With the limited personnel of the intelligence team, it is already the limit. As for intelligence work, it is only limited to investigation and inquiry about some information, and in terms of strength, it is indeed not strong.

So Ning Zhiheng decided to go to Hong Kong by himself, and he wanted to investigate and find something in person in order to gain something.

When Huo Yueze heard this, he hesitated. He said carefully: "Calendar, Hong Kong is at the forefront of the storm now, with all forces gathering in dangers. Your identity is too important. If you are in danger, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

"Okay!" Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, but now he didn't care about so many things. The more complex and changeable the situation is, the more he has to preside over it himself, so that he can adapt to the situation, act with all rights reserved, and stay in Shanghai to control the affairs, which is always uneasy.

Besides, he has great confidence in himself. Since he devoted himself to intelligence work, no matter how difficult and dangerous he encountered, so far, there has been no task that has been difficult for him. At least he has the confidence to escape unstoppable.

Seeing that Ning Zhiheng had made up his mind, Huo Yueze knew that his boss's temper had always been a decisive decision. Once he made a decision, he would not be questioned. So he nodded and said, "Okay, the power of Hong Kong is a little weaker. Just in case, I will bring an action team with you."

"No, you still stay here to keep an eye on the intelligence market. There are always things that happen. If the drawings really appear, don't miss them. No matter how much the cost is, you must get them. As for Hong Kong, let Zuo Qiang's operation team go with me. Without further ado, I will enter the concession this afternoon and rush to Hong Kong at night."

Huo Yueze nodded and suddenly remembered something again, asking for instructions and said: "By the way, there is another thing. We have received a major information about North China and provided by Lao Hong from Tianjin. The Red Party Army is about to take major actions."

Intelligence worth 26,000 US dollars is definitely one of the few important information in the intelligence market. You should know that the price of purchasing drawing information from Yongfeng is only 5,000 US dollars, so Huo Yueze must report to Ning Zhiheng.

So Huo Yueze gave a detailed report to Ning Zhiheng on the information he purchased from Lao Hong yesterday, and finally said: "The Red Party's army is frequently mobilized, and the information shows that they will soon launch an attack on the Zhengtai Line."

Ning Zhiheng was shocked. Such important information really appeared in this party, which was of great importance. He had to intercept the information and could not allow it to spread. He immediately asked: "How much did it cost? Is this news exclusively bought out?"

"Lao Hong asked for 26,000 US dollars, and I bought it on the spot, but there was no buyout. Usually, there is no one in the intelligence market except us. If you buy out, the price will be too high!"

In the intelligence market, if you want to prevent intelligence leakage and buy out exclusive intelligence, the price will at least double. Now the intelligence department is not sufficient funds, and Huo Yueze is also very careful and has not thought too much about it.

The reason why he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy this information was because, since the end of last year, an anti-Red wave began to surge within the Kuomintang. There was a large-scale military friction between the Kuomintang army and the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. The Japanese army also took this opportunity to implement the cage plan, causing serious difficulties to the Red Party’s anti-Japanese base areas.

That's why Huo Yueze tried to find out the weaknesses of the Red Party and provide them to the National Party and military for reference.

But this is definitely not the result that Ning Zhiheng wants. He waved his hand and said flatly: "No, you contact Lao Hong immediately and buy out this information. You must hurry up and never give him the opportunity to contact other buyers. Also, let him continue to inquire about the trends of the Japanese military. Don't discount the price, just offer it as he wants."

"Yes!" Huo Yueze quickly nodded and took the order.

Ning Zhiheng then ordered: "This information is intercepted and cannot be sent back to the headquarters. Remember, all information about the Red Party in the future must be reviewed by me before it can be sent to Chongqing, otherwise it will be severely punished."

"Yes, I understand, all the Red Party intelligence will be reviewed by you."

At this time, Ning Zhiheng stared at Huo Yueze with his expression becoming more and more serious. It took him a long time to speak slowly: "Yueze, you must remember that the country is in danger and the nation is at a critical moment, the Japanese are our primary target. Now the military government has its own position. Some people want to take advantage of the situation and fight with each other, while others are willing to fight against Japan sincerely and to the outside world.

I can tell you clearly that my position is the latter, not only myself, but I will never allow my subordinates to ignore national justice and do things that their loved ones are happy and their enemies are happy. You must keep this in mind!”

The Shanghai Intelligence Department is the most important direct force in Ning Zhiheng. As the head of the Intelligence Department, Huo Yueze's position has affected the political trend of the entire Intelligence Department to a certain extent. Therefore, Ning Zhiheng had to make clear the words first, so as not to Huo Yueze did not know the pros and cons and did things that went against his wishes. If it made a big mistake, it would be too late to regret it.

He was not afraid that Huo Yueze would have other thoughts. All the cadres in the intelligence department were Ning Zhiheng's team, and everyone knew that Huo Yueze was a confidant promoted by Ning Zhiheng. His wealth and future were all dependent on Ning Zhiheng. He would never dare to go against Ning Zhiheng's wishes, otherwise Ning Zhiheng would rather take a harsh action to eliminate it, and would not leave any hidden dangers.
