Chapter 1177: Secretly setting up a situation
That night, it was still the old place where they had last met, Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi came to the George Hotel again, entered the agreed room, and met with Yongfeng secretly to discuss specific matters.
After the two sides met and greeted, Ning Zhiheng opened his mouth and asked directly: "Miss Yong, I guess you have also heard, there is a lot of movement outside now, we are unfamiliar here, and our strength is limited, so we are all pointing at Miss Yong, I don't know how the progress of the drawings is?" ”
Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Yongfeng shook her head helplessly, now that the situation has changed greatly, she has no confidence, so she naturally doesn't dare to pack tickets for the other party anymore.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, my previous estimate of the situation was too optimistic, and as for the engine drawings, I'm just afraid that there is nothing I can do."
"What?" Ning Zhiheng's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Miss Yong, the last time we met, you were full of confidence, what's the matter?" Not happy with my bid? ”
Seeing the displeasure on Ning Zhiheng's face, Yongfeng was helpless in his heart, the other party was eager to make merit for the engine drawings, it could be said that he was determined to win, and even agreed to his bid when trading aviation torpedo drawings, not only that, but also made an exception to pay all the money at once, which was enough to show his sincerity.
She hurriedly explained: "No, no, Mr. Lin, please don't get me wrong, we are old friends, and we have no doubts about your credibility and strength." ”
Speaking of this, she paused, felt that she should explain clearly, and said: "I can't tell you the truth, it was my mole who had a problem, he made a mistake in his actions, and I can't contact him now." ”
Ning Zhiheng naturally understood in his heart that he was acting like this now, but he was just doing it for Yongfeng to see.
In fact, at the beginning of his work, he did have the intention of keeping Scott alive, and just wanted to take away the drawing film, after all, Scott was a British intelligence officer, and he killed people and took the map by himself, and there must be troubles, so at the beginning, he had plans to let Scott go.
But when Scott revealed Yongfeng's true identity, Ning Zhiheng immediately changed his mind.
Scott lost the original film of the engine, he must not be able to justify himself, his identity has been exposed, even if he spares his life, the British intelligence services will not spare him, and there is no longer any use value.
But as long as the interrogation continues, Yongfeng's true identity will be difficult to conceal, you must know that Yongfeng is the target that Ning Zhiheng is going to subdue next, and it is also an important chess piece in his layout of the intelligence network in South China.
And in doing so, there is another benefit, killing Scott, cutting off all the clues, Scott was pushed off the cliff by him with the car, fell into the deep water, destroyed the body, and evaporated from the world.
As long as Scott does not show up for a day, the British and Japanese, despite their suspicions, will not be able to determine the true whereabouts of the drawings for a day, and their eyes will always stay on the job of finding Scott, which also shifts the target for Ning Zhiheng, leaving a buffer and time to respond, so that he can get out in time.
There is also killing Scott, which indirectly protects Liao Chengren, after all, it can be regarded as doing things for Ning Zhiheng, although it is for money, but Ning Zhiheng doesn't want him to have an accident, so Ning Zhiheng finally dealt with Scott.
At this time, Ning Zhiheng's brows furrowed even tighter, he took a deep breath, as if holding back his anxious emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Yong has difficulties, I naturally understand, but for this drawing, Shangfeng attaches great importance to it, and please Miss Yong, you take it more seriously, I will definitely write down this favor." ”
Between Ning Zhiheng's words, his words were chiseled, showing sincerity, so that Yongfeng also had to nod and agree: "Okay, I will do my best!" ”
However, she obviously didn't want to talk about the drawings anymore, so she quickly changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Lin, you said that you have important information to trade with me this time, I don't know, what is it about?" Is it also related to drawings? ”
"Not really, it has nothing to do with drawings." Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, meeting with Yongfeng this time was a very key part of his plan, otherwise he would have left Hong Kong as soon as possible after the drawings were successful.
Speaking of this, he looked at Nie Xin beside Yongfeng, and then said to Yongfeng: "Miss Yong, don't you mind if we talk alone?" ”
When Ji Hongyi heard this, he immediately stood up, nodded to Yongfeng, turned around and retreated.
Yongfeng looked at it and understood what Ning Zhiheng meant, this intelligence transaction must be extraordinary, the other party wants to control the news to the smallest extent, she did not hesitate, turned her head and nodded to Nie Xin.
Nie Xin saw that Yongfeng agreed, he was not worried that Ning Zhiheng would be unfavorable to Yongfeng, the two sides had dealt with each other for many years, and they were still more credible to each other, besides, he had already arranged enough manpower nearby, and he was not afraid that the other party would have other thoughts, so he also got up and signaled, bowed and exited the room.
"Now you can say it!"
Ning Zhiheng's face turned straight and he said, "We have obtained a very important piece of information, I think Miss Yong may be interested. ”
"Oh, I want to hear about it!" Yongfeng is also curious, she collects a wide range of intelligence, not only military intelligence, but also political and economic intelligence, she also collects, anyway, as long as the intelligence itself is valuable, then finding the right buyer, there are also huge profits.
"That's the case, the current situation must be understood by Miss Yong, the stalemate between China and Japan, the Japanese have lost patience, eager to get out of the Chinese battlefield, ready to enter Southeast Asia, we found that in the previous months, the Japanese have contacted the Chongqing government many times, trying to promote peace talks between the two sides, I wonder if Miss Yong has received news in this regard?"
When Yongfeng heard this, he immediately cheered up his spirit, this is enough strategic intelligence to affect the entire war situation, and its value in the intelligence market belongs to the highest level, but he didn't expect that this Mr. Lin would throw out such a bombshell news today.
"I really haven't heard about this before, you know, I still have some connections in South China, but I can't go deep into Central China, why, Mr. Lin intends to sell such top-secret information?"
Speaking of this, Yongfeng suddenly had some doubts, she knew the identity of the other party very well, the famous Chinese intelligence department, and could be called the head of the most mysterious Shanghai intelligence department, how could such a person sell the top secret information within the Kuomintang to herself?
You must know that for a long time, the other side has been the big buyer in the intelligence market, and although there are times when intelligence is sold, it is on the premise that it does not harm the interests of the Chinese government.
Ning Zhiheng knew Yongfeng's doubts, smiled faintly, and said sarcastically: "The Kuomintang government is not monolithic, each has its own ideas, those who are afraid of death, those who can't stand suffering, those who can't afford to lose, all kinds of things, it's not surprising. ”
At this time, he didn't want to comment more, and coughed lightly: "Okay, let's not talk about this, just talk about the peace talks, that's the case, we found that the Japanese are already in contact with Chongqing, and the place of the peace talks is in Hong Kong!" ”
"Hong Kong? How did you choose to be here? Yongfeng looked at Ning Zhiheng in surprise.
"Naturally, there are considerations, maybe because Hong Kong is not in the sphere of influence of the two sides, or maybe for other reasons."
After speaking, he took a file bag and gently put it in front of Yongfeng: "This is some of the situations we have investigated, you can take a look." ”
Yongfeng took the file bag, took out a stack of photos from it, opened it and looked at it carefully, these were naturally the photos taken by Shen Xiang and Ji Hongyi when they were watching.
"These people are the representatives of the peace talks?"
"Yes!" Ning Zhiheng pointed to the person in the photo and said, "This person is the representative of the Chinese side, the senior level of the Military Command Bureau, Jiang Tianhe, the deputy director of the Second Intelligence Division, and this person is the representative of the Japanese side, Major General Tsuyoo Harada of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Invasion of China, and he is also a representative of the main peace faction in the Japanese army. ”
Yongfeng looked up at Ning Zhiheng, secretly surprised, the other party didn't seem to have the slightest intention of negotiating the price, and directly told the deal, obviously sure that this transaction would be successful, but she was relieved, as an intelligence dealer engaged in intelligence trading, how could she let go in the face of such heavyweight intelligence?
"Mr. Lin, I am very touched by your sincerity, but let's talk about the price, otherwise I don't dare to listen to it anymore, in case I can't afford your asking price, I'm afraid you won't let me out of this room."
Ning Zhiheng laughed, waved his hand and said: "Miss Yong, it's a joke, I believe that we will be able to reach a deal this time, in this way, I will offer 50,000 US dollars, I think you will be satisfied with this price, right?" ”
Fifty thousand dollars? Yongfeng's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Ning Zhiheng in disbelief, China and Japan intend to contact and negotiate peace, once it happens, it will be enough to change the pattern of the Sino-Japanese war, and even affect the world pattern, such important information, only 50,000 US dollars sold to himself?
"How? At this price, Miss Yong is still satisfied, right? ”
"Of course satisfied! To tell you the truth, this price is almost no different from giving it away for free, I don't know what your intentions are, Mr. Lin, if you don't make it clear, I really don't dare to take over! ”
Yongfeng can't help but be suspicious, she is not a three-year-old child, how can there be such a good thing in this world? What's more, who does their business, which one is not a top person, the mind is extremely clear, no one can expect to take advantage of others, the other party must have a reason for doing this, don't ask clearly, I really don't dare to speak.
Of course, Ning Zhiheng would not give this big bargain for no reason, he continued: "Miss Yong is right, I did this, there is indeed a premise, this information is for you, you can only sell it to the British and Americans, and you must not sell it to anyone else." ”
