In the office, Old Zhao looked at Old Zuo and He Qiao'er, who was sitting there recounting Zhang Tianhao's return. None of the three showed much joy.

It's mostly bitterness, or more so, helplessness.

“I never expected that the young master would encounter such a thing. Young mistress, would you like to rest today and comfort the young master properly?”

“I wanted to comfort him, but I thought he needed rest more, so I wanted him to get some rest. Otherwise, if he overworked himself, it would be a loss.”

That's what they say.

"Let him rest well for a day; I'll be leaving tonight."

"Yes!"

"By the way, young mistress, the young master just told me that he might not be back for the next two weeks. He might be going to Southeast Asia or Hong Kong to find some raw materials."

"Why wouldn't he look in the west? Why would he go to these places? After all, this is Japanese territory."

"I don't know. This time, the young master directly requested the plane, so it will probably take a lot of time. I don't know when he will be back."

"It won't be too long. I usually work in Shanghai. If needed, I can send a message to my colleagues in Shanghai and ask them to come back."

"Ok!"

Although He Qiao'er doesn't participate in the affairs here, she still reports Zhang Tianhao's situation to the two of them from time to time, since Zhang Tianhao is the pillar of stability in the entire northern Jiangsu.

"Young Madam, the young master may be quite busy from now on."

"Well, although I don't know what he's busy with, I still hope he'll take better care of his health."

"By the way, young mistress, you don't need to go to work today."

"No need, I won't go this afternoon. I'll stay home."

"All right!"

……

Meanwhile, Zhang Tianhao returned to his office and began processing various documents. As for resting, he simply didn't have time for that.

There's quite a bit of work to do each week.

When the three of them heard that Zhang Tianhao had returned to his office to work on documents, they were stunned.

He also wore a wry smile, for who would have thought that his young master was more stubborn than anyone else?

Even they hadn't expected it.

"Young Master is still working so hard!"

"No wonder he's under so much pressure. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be much better off than if I didn't go crazy. Looks like we should go to work, lest the young master say we're not taking our work seriously."

"Fine, I'll go to work too!"

……

Japanese Military Police in Shanghai.

"How's the investigation into Fushoutang going?"

Kagesa sat there, looking calmly at the officers below, as if nothing had happened.

"General, we can confirm a few things now, but we are still investigating the others."

Chifune Keiko stood up, holding a report in her hand, and said seriously, "First, this attack on Fushoutang was premeditated, and this time they used sniper rifles. However, the other side had silencers, so the sound was not loud. We found that the bullets were German-made sniper rifle bullets."

"Secondly, this operation left no survivors, which clearly indicates that these people have a grudge against the Empire, or rather, against Fushoutang."

"Third, these people burned down the opium den, but they also stole all the money, and destroyed all the accounts." "Fourth, to be able to do all this, the other party must be extremely skilled. You could say that this is the combat capability of a special forces team, not the ability of an ordinary soldier. It is certain that the other party was trained and that it was done by well-trained soldiers."

"As for why Fushoutang is being targeted, I haven't investigated that clearly yet. In addition, we have also learned that the Fuqi Opium Den, which is related to us, was also destroyed last night, with no survivors. I think there must be some necessary connection between these events."

"Okay, please sit down."

After Kagesa looked at Keiko and gestured for her to sit down, he saw Hashimoto Yu.

"Major Hashimoto, what do you think?"

“I also think it’s related to Fuqi Opium Den. After all, there’s more than one opium den associated with Fushoutang. Now that only Fuqi Opium Den has a problem, it’s very likely that the other party is targeting Fuqi Opium Den. Then they found out that we were supporting them behind the scenes, so they had no choice but to target Fushoutang.”

Hashimoto Yuya stood up and said seriously, "In addition, I also agree with what Keiko said. This targeting was very likely carried out by the military. Their movements were neat and quick. Only such skill could have caused us to be caught off guard."

“You should know that the patrol team can get to Fushou Hall in five minutes, or at most five minutes. We haven’t heard any gunshots, which means that the other side left before the patrol team arrived and directly missed them.”

"This is good proof. The speed and reaction were rapid, and only well-trained people could do it. As for whether they were soldiers, we don't have a good conclusion yet."

"Okay, you sit down too. Where is the rest of you?"

As several Japanese officers shared their thoughts, Kagesa rubbed his temples, looked at his secretary, and said calmly, "This time, the intelligence department will take over. Investigate thoroughly and find out the truth."

"Hi!"

"The Operations Section will cooperate with the Intelligence Section. If necessary, the Operations Section personnel may be deployed!"

"Thank you General!"

Chito Keiko also stood up, bowed to Kagesa, and then bowed to Hashimoto Yu: "Major Hashimoto, I'm entrusting this to you."

"You're too kind, we will definitely cooperate well."

"it is good!"

……

Chongqing Military Intelligence Bureau Headquarters.

"Old Quan, we've already checked. The things in the 'Ten-Day European Tour' are basically true, and the machines are real too. The number is quite large. Just the two or three factories established in northern Jiangsu alone have made me feel completely overwhelmed when I received the news."

"They've started building factories again, and two or three at that. Isn't that too many?"

"Not many, and that's an understatement. We don't know how many machines they bought. You could say that the industry in northern Jiangsu is far superior to that of Chongqing."

Are you sure this is true?

"It's confirmed, boss. This Zhang Tianhao is really capable. He suffered a lot of losses himself, but he still managed to bring the machine back."

"Hmph, that bastard, now that he has his own navy, he actually managed to bring the machine back. Impressive, truly impressive. However, he can only use the Sea Pier Pass; there's really no other way!"

"Boss, should we tell the CEO about this?"

"No need, we don't know anything. We'll report back later. After all, our losses are still losses, aren't they?"

"Alright, but we still need to be careful with the CEO. I'm worried he'll be so angry he'll vomit blood and curse us when he finds out."

"It's good that you know!"

Boss Dai also took a deep breath; clearly, he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"boss……"

"Don't say anymore, Director Mao. I know what you want to say, but we are caught in the middle and can't make a decision."

He sighed deeply, then gave a bitter laugh. (End of Chapter)
