Ning Zhiheng is surrounded by military personnel, all wearing the costumes of senior officers. He is not only the youngest, but also a suit, which is quite eye-catching among these people.

There are also many senior officials from the Japanese department around them, but the Japanese overseas Chinese are respected by soldiers and can only watch these people chat and laugh, and secretly envious of them, but due to the differences in their identities, they even dare not come forward to pay a visit.

Just as Ning Zhiheng was talking to someone, Consul General of the Japanese Consulate Keni Iwai brought his assistant Hidemi Matsuhei.

Looking at Ning Zhiheng's time to speak, he stepped forward a few steps, smiled and said, "Mr. Fujiwara, it's been a long time since I saw you!"

Ning Zhiheng turned his head and smiled slightly, "Iwai Jun, Matsuhira Jun, it's been a long time since you've been around. You have a lot of things. You haven't even been to Mulan Club these days. Unlike me, I am an idle person, who has nothing to do all day, haha!"

After saying that, he saw that Keni Iwai seemed to have something to talk about. He turned around and looked at it, then simply stood up and nodded to the friends around him. Then he made a gesture of inviting Keni Iwai, and the three of them came to a seat next to him to rest.

When the guests around saw that President Fujiwara and Consul Iwai were coming, they all bowed and gave in and made room.

The three of them sat opposite each other, Keni Iwai smiled and said, "Fujiwara, I have been busy with official business during this period. I haven't gone to Mulan Club to chat with you. The same is true for Matsuhei. Today he is looking for you for some things, and I am a lobbyist! Haha!"

Ning Zhiheng looked at Hiemi Matsuhira who was standing beside him and asked with a smile: "Oh! What are you talking about by Matsuhira? Is there anything you want to say? I want you to be a lobbyist?"

Hidemi Matsuhei quickly said respectfully: "Mr. Fujiwara, I recently founded a newspaper, "Xinhui Times", mainly to promote the friendship between Japan and China. The current work is going well, but I have always wanted to do a heavyweight column and invite some influential people to interview. You are the most influential figure in Shanghai. I want to give you an interview and describe some of your views on the current situation in Japan and China."

Ning Zhiheng was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Hidehiro Matsuhei would make this request. He was hesitant. With his current status, he had no interest in these show-style interviews.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Matsuhira, this time I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. You know, I've never been interested in such things."

Seeing Ning Zhiheng rejecting his request almost without thinking, Hidemi Matsuhei couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He turned to look at Keni Iwai on the side and signaled to ask Keni Iwai to help him say something.

Keni Iwai couldn't help but look at Ning Zhiheng with some embarrassment. With his status, he naturally dared not force Ning Zhiheng, but he still said: "Fujiwara Jun, Matsuhei Jun has been responsible for the external publicity affairs of Iwai Mansion for a while. We have devoted a lot of effort to this "Xinhui Times". Please consider it again. It's just a simple interview. Ahem, it's actually just a need for your attitude..."

Ning Zhiheng heard Keni Iwai begging again, and couldn't help but ponder for a moment. Iwai Mansion was an intelligence department established by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although it is not outstanding among many departments in Shanghai, the intelligence it contacts is varied and large in size. It can be said that the intelligence value is very high.

He has always been quite coveted by the intelligence system of Iwai Mansion and is thinking of establishing an intelligence channel from it. Therefore, he deliberately attracted Keni Iwai and Hidemi Matsuhei from the beginning, and the friendship between the two sides has always been very good.

If it is just a simple interview, but you need your own support attitude, then the problem is not big.

Thinking of this, he looked at Hidemi Matsuhira. This young man gave him a very good impression, energetic, talented, and had a deep understanding of Chinese culture. He often revealed his kindness in his conversation. It can be seen that he did not reject the Chinese. This is rare among the Japanese expatriates in Shanghai. This is also what Ning Zhiheng values ​​the most. If he can open a gap from this person and extend his intelligence tentacles into the Iwai Mansion, it is also a good idea.

So Ning Zhiheng smiled and nodded and agreed, "Since Iwai Kwan spoke in person, then okay! If Matsuhei Kwan has time, go to Mulan Club to find me. I usually stay there, so everyone can talk about it."

When Matsuhira Hideshi was overjoyed when he heard this, he hurriedly gave up and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara, I will make arrangements as soon as possible. Please take care of everything!"

Keni Iwai was also happy to see Ning Zhiheng giving face like this. He knew that as Fujiwara Tomohito was supporting the "Xinhui Times", it was completely a gift for him, and this favor was quite good.

The three of them talked briefly for a few more words, and then they saw Takeshi Ishikawa walking quickly from outside. He glanced at him and soon saw Ning Zhiheng and came to him in front of him in a few steps.

Keni Iwai and Hidehiko Matsuhei saw that Takeshi Ishikawa was coming, so they naturally knew the relationship between Takeshi Ishikawa and Tomohito Fujiwara, and they all stood up to say goodbye with tactfulness.

Ning Zhiheng watched them leave, then smiled and said to Takeshi Ishikawa with a smile: "The banquet is about to begin. Where are you going?"

As the second person in the Shanghai Japanese Military Police Command and the spokesperson of Fujiwara Company in the military, Takeshi Ishikawa has a high position in the Japanese department. His position is naturally indispensable for banquets of this scale.

Takeshi Ishikawa sat sideways opposite Ning Zhiheng, with a slightly serious expression saying: "Our military police headquarters is responsible for external security matters. I sent someone to block several nearby blocks and gradually began to search for suspicious points. Just now, I found traces of Chongqing elements in a hotel, but I went a step late and the people had already run away. These people were very alert. It's a pity, otherwise it would be possible..."

After saying that, he stretched out his palm and made a gesture of clenching his fists!

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he frowned and said, "Another Chongqing elements appeared?"

He was sure that these people must be the operation personnel of the Shanghai Station. The Shanghai Station was supported by arms and funds and was ready for action so quickly. It can be seen that the new webmaster Chen Hongchi is really eager to make contributions and is much more radical than Wang Hanmin.

However, Ning Zhiheng did not agree with this style. Before Shanghai's foothold was stable, it was inevitable that it would be a bit rash when it rushed into the city, which made Ning Zhiheng not optimistic about the prospects of the Shanghai station.

Hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, Takeshi Ishikawa nodded and continued, "The banquet is very high in size. These people must be trying to do something. I just called and then called another military police to expand the scope of the search and ensure the safety of the East District."

At present in Shanghai, all affairs in the eastern city are still in the hands of the Japanese, because this is a gathering area for the Japanese, and the public security of other cities has been handed over to the pseudo-government. As long as Takeshi Ishikawa ensures the safety of the eastern city, he is too lazy to take care of other places.

Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Leave these to others. You don't need to come forward in person for such things, everything is mainly about safety."

Takeshi Ishikawa smiled. He knew that Ning Zhiheng had never wanted him to invest too much energy in these things, so he nodded and agreed.

Just as the conversation was about to happen, a piece of music suddenly rang out in the hall. Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a suit in the middle of the podium. This person was Tao Chengyuan, a senior official of the pseudo-government.

Everyone knew that the dinner had officially begun, so Ning Zhiheng and Takeshi Ishikawa also stood up, returned to their seats and sat down. After waiting for the music, the sound in the hall quieted down.

Tao Chengyuan was the news minister of the pseudo-government. He was outstanding in appearance and eloquent in eloquence. As the host of the dinner, he asked Wang Baihai to give a speech after giving a brief introduction.

Wang Baihai was also a famous speaker. He immediately spoke lotus flowers and promoted a so-called peace movement in a scattered manner. Finally, he asked Hiroki Kagesa to speak.

Kagesa Yuki's speech seemed very brief and ended his speech in a straightforward manner. After the procedure that should be done, the banquet officially began.

So the music started again. During the meal, the band played the most popular jazz music in Shanghai. Then the actors from the Shanghai entertainment industry took the stage to perform singing and dancing. The guests also began to chat and laugh. At the banquet, the scene of singing and dancing rising to peace.

But in this lively atmosphere, in a corner of the banquet, a person on the dining table had a solemn expression and was depressed. This person was Gao Zhiwu, the foreign minister of the pseudo-government.

Several people around him were senior officials of the pseudo-government Foreign Ministry. They have been conducting secret talks with the Japanese government these days, but the results of the talks were very bad. In order to obtain the support of the Japanese, the pseudo-government, headed by Wang Baihai, sold all the interests of China in the agreement, which made these diplomats frightened.

Especially Gao Zhiwu, he was most depressed and desperate!

In the early days of the establishment of the pseudo-government, as Wang Baihai's absolute confidant, he almost came forward to make connections and communicate with the Japanese, and finally led to Wang Baihai's defection. Until now, the pseudo-government was established, it can be said that Gao Zhiwu played a considerable role in it.

But everything afterwards was completely different from what Gao Zhiwu had originally imagined. Wang Baihai's actions were completely beyond his expectations, especially when the draft agreement was placed in front of him, Gao Zhiwu knew that once he wrote and signed, he would become a sinner of the nation, and his eternal infamy would be enough to make him doomed.

So these days, he has been restless and unable to sleep or eat, let alone having the mood to attend the dinner party. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slap the chopsticks in his hand on the dining table, sighed, and said nothing.

One of the officials looked at Gao Zhiwu and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Zhiwu, you are in a bad mood, so don't talk too much. You should still avoid bad luck and be careful."

These days, because of the agreement, Gao Zhiwu had clashes with Wang Baihai many times, which made Wang Baihai very dissatisfied with him.

If Gao Zhiwu hadn't been Wang Baihai's confidant step by step, he would have ordered the arrest long ago. However, in order to prevent it, he still placed a suspicion beside Gao Zhiwu. Even the people around him could see that something was wrong and could not help but worry about Gao Zhiwu.

Gao Zhiwu felt even more depressed when he heard this. He looked around and had to say nothing and drink the wine glass in one go.
