On the Chongqing intelligence side.

"What? Zhang Tianhao went to Italy alone to visit his friends? How is that possible? How is that possible?"

A high-ranking government official looked at the intelligence he had just received and felt quite uneasy.

You have to understand that the distance from Europe to northern Jiangsu is so far that it would take a very long time just to travel by boat. Not only that, but the journey itself is also fraught with danger. You wouldn't be able to get there in less than a month or two.

But Zhang Tianhao actually went to Italy alone, and someone even took pictures of him. What kind of situation is this?

"Have you reported this to the CEO?"

"They should have reported it over there."

The secretary's face was also quite grim. She never expected that Zhang Tianhao would be demoted to a special envoy and now he wouldn't even care about Su Bei anymore. He just went out to have fun and even went abroad.

Going abroad alone and having so much fun, is that even a big deal?
"I reckon the CEO will be absolutely furious this time, really!"

"Yeah, I bet they're really furious."

"No way!"

He let out a long sigh, then picked up the phone and dialed directly.

After exchanging a few words with the other party, he hung up the phone, and then a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Did Zhang Tianhao really give up everything? That's impossible. He used to hold a high position and have so much military power under his command. Now he's giving it all up. What kind of nonsense is this?"

"He lives a carefree life, so what? Being an official is good, but how high can he go, even if he's at his current level?"

"Isn't he supposed to come over for a performance review before the New Year? How is he going to do it? I'll see what he can still do then. Aren't you afraid the CEO will fire him?"

"It's no use. They don't care. If you keep trying, you'll only lose this special envoy position. Then you'll be free of official duties, and they might even be happy. With money, what more could they want?"

That's true, but the problem is, what do we do with him?

"Yes, there's really nothing we can do about him. His Zhang Mansion hasn't been taken back yet, and it's probably only a matter of time. As for the He family, they're just a major general now, but they don't have any real power."

"By the way, haven't we seen the He family's two sons and daughters-in-law for quite a while?"

"Yes, I heard that the two encountered the Japanese army while they were suppressing bandits. As soon as the two sides clashed, the two sons of the He family were killed, and an entire battalion of the army was wiped out."

"Do you believe this?"

"If you don't believe me, go find them! What are you going to do if they're missing? They were fighting on the front lines. Isn't it normal for one or two battalions to die?"

"That's what they say, but I always feel there's something we haven't noticed. If they left, could they have gone to northern Jiangsu?"

"It's possible, but the journey won't be easy!"

"Although it's not easy to travel, we still have to go, right? If we're lucky, and with the help of people from northern Jiangsu, we might make it through."

"Perhaps, but haven't our people investigated in northern Jiangsu yet?"

"By the way, I don't know if Zhang Tianhao can come back before the New Year. If he does, we can report on our duties. Otherwise, we in the Second Intelligence Bureau would be really incompetent."

……

Inside the Military Intelligence Bureau office.

Boss Dai sat there, looking at the message he had just received. He had only discovered it was a publicly known coded telegram after intercepting the Japanese telegram.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

"Boss, this Zhang Tianhao is really fast! He got to Italy so quickly, that's unbelievable! Could it be a trap?"

"There might be a trap!" "But does it matter? He went to Italy for fun, and he went in his own name. Nobody can say anything about it, since he didn't go to Germany."

"But I really don't know what his purpose is in showing up this time. I wonder if he's just going there for a trip? It's so far away, even if he flew there, it would take several days!"

“Zhang Tianhao would never do something pointless, so we don’t know what his purpose is. Send someone there to investigate and see what has happened at the Italian and German embassies these past two days.”

"Yes!"

"By the way, find out where this guy has been for the past two or three months. There's not a single word about him, not even his double has spoken up."

"Yes!"

Director Mao also looked helpless, after all, Zhang Tianhao always made quite a commotion whenever he appeared.

"Boss, should we send more people to northern Jiangsu? Their road construction team already has more than a hundred of us. If we send more, they'll just be sent to the road construction team again. What should we do?"

"That bastard sent our people straight to road repair! I'm so angry! Just thinking about it makes me furious!"

"There's nothing we can do; that's just who he is."

"It's a miracle that no one was killed in the massacre."

"Ugh!"

"The president should have received news of Zhang Tianhao's trip to Italy by now. I wonder if he'll be furious."

After all, what's a special envoy doing going abroad for no reason? He hasn't even resolved the issues at home, yet he's already running off to foreign countries. What kind of behavior is that?

"I reckon the news of his trip abroad will spread very soon, and that might get even more interesting!"

"Yes!"

He gave a wry smile, then added, "However, I wonder if he'll even attend this year's performance review?"

"Pass the word down that they should get less involved in Zhang Tianhao's affairs in the future, and try not to send any more people to northern Jiangsu, especially to his old stronghold. Otherwise, they should be sent to build roads instead, and don't blame others for that."

"Yes!"

……

Inside the Northern Jiangsu Command Headquarters.

Zuo Mingming was stunned when she saw the message that had just arrived.

"Young Master is coming back. He left quite quickly this time, flying directly back. He should arrive home tomorrow night!"

"Tomorrow night? That's so long!"

"It's already quite good. We'll take off tonight and arrive home tomorrow night. A day and a night, what can't we do? Do you think such a long distance can be reached in a short time?"

"Oh, by the way, the young master said he purchased a batch of supplies this time, and he'll put them in the warehouse!"

"That's good, that's good. Tell the young master that the madam has given birth to a son. We've completely forgotten about such an important thing lately, really!"

"That's true. The young master's last visit here was too short. Sigh!"

"Alright, I'll be back tomorrow night. I'll probably be staying here for a few days, so don't worry."

"Hmm, I guess I won't be going out again this time I'm back, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe he'll even go to Chongqing for some performance review conference. We'd better just guess what the young master is thinking. After all, he has his own way of doing things!" (End of Chapter)
