my espionage career

Chapter 1098 It's a showdown, I'm actually looking for someone
time flies.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Zeshao stayed in the hospital for a week without going out once.

The Japanese counterfeit banknote plan is also in full swing, and a large amount of materials have been looted.

In this regard, Shanning also started emergency measures. First, newspapers and broadcasts were used in the Kuomintang-controlled area to inform them of the counterfeit banknotes.

At the same time, severe penalties are imposed on those who use and hide counterfeit banknotes.Of course, the credit of the Secret Service is indispensable.

For a time, the proliferation of counterfeit banknotes in the Kuomintang-controlled areas was significantly improved.

But in the enemy-occupied areas, and the yin-yang zone at the junction of the Kuomintang-controlled areas and the enemy-occupied areas, not only did there not have any relief, but it became worse and worse.

In this regard, Shanning did not have a good solution. It could only guard against it and prevent counterfeit banknotes from slipping into the Kuomintang-controlled area.

As the Japanese plan progressed, Keiko Ikegami's contributions became more and more important, and more and more senior leaders of the base camp changed their attitude towards him.

Even some big guys close to the Ikegami family are secretly suggesting whether to elevate Keiko Ikegami's status to a higher level.

If it succeeds, Keiko Ikegami will be the youngest general and the only woman.

However, because of the importance of the matter, this proposal was shelved in the end, and it is unknown when it will be restarted.

Even so, Keiko Ikegami took the most critical step.

Hangzhou.

Chishang Huizi was busy with the work at hand, and asked the guards as a routine: "How is Bai Zeshao?"

"He went out, left the hospital, and wandered around under the leadership of Hou Tian," the guard replied.

"Let our people keep an eye on him," Chi Shang Huizi ordered.

"Yes, Colonel," the guard replied, but did not leave.

"What, is there anything else?" Keiko Chigami looked at the guard and asked curiously.

"It's okay, I just don't understand something. Why should we monitor Mr. Bai Ze? Isn't he one of ours?" the guard said curiously.

"Even if he is our person, if he appears at this sensitive moment, he must be monitored by us, especially she is still a very dangerous person"

After Chishang Huizi finished speaking, he continued: "Are there any other doubts?"

"No more, Commander," the guard said.

"Then hurry up and execute the order," Keiko Chishang cursed with a smile.

At this moment, Young Master Bai Ze, accompanied by Hou Tian, ​​was wandering around the street happily, stopping when he encountered the food he liked.

And Hou Tian also seemed very patient, without any urging at all.As long as Bai Zeshao stops, he will stop too.

Along the way, I don't know how many times I stopped.

Hou Tian was also a well-known big shot in Hangzhou. Seeing him humbly agree with a young man made many people more curious about Bai Zeshao's identity.

With the rise of attention, more and more people follow them.

Hou Tian couldn't help frowning at the chaotic scene. He didn't want to see Bai Zeshao assassinated again.

When he came to Bai Zeshao's side, he said softly, "Director Bai, let's go back first, there are too many people, it's not safe."

Bai Zeshao stopped what he was doing and looked around. It was indeed a bit unsafe, so he didn't insist on continuing to go shopping.

He just said with some regret: "Hey, it's a pity that I can't enjoy myself to the fullest, or...forget it, let's go back"

Soon, the group of people walked towards Hou Tian's villa.

Inside the large living room.

Bai Zeshao and Hou Tian sat opposite each other.

Hou Tian asked with concern: "Director Bai, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, I think you still have to go back to the hospital."

"I'm here, you can come anytime you want"

Bai Zeshao shook his head and refused, "President Hou, I don't want to go back to the hospital. During this time, I've been in the hospital almost from Shanghai to Hangzhou."

"I've really had enough of that kind of torture. I know my body very well."

"Even if you stay in the hospital, it's not very useful. It's better to keep it outside. Maybe it will get better faster."

"But how do you explain it to Da Zuo? She has always cared about your body and sent people to ask about it every day," Hou Tian said in a difficult way.

"It's okay, President Hou doesn't have to worry," Bai Zeshao said indifferently.

"This...well, if Director Bai needs anything, he can order his servants to do it." Hou Tian didn't force Bai Zeshao any more, and said instead.

"Then trouble President Hou," Bai Zeshao said with a smile.

Hou Tian waved his hand indifferently.

Because there are still many things to be busy, Hou Tian chatted with Bai Zeshao for a while, and then left directly.

Young Master Bai Ze, who was alone, did not recognize life and wandered around Hou Tian's villa casually.

And with Hou Tian's advance greeting, the bodyguards in the villa did not stop him from walking around.

After taking a stroll around and inspecting all the villa's layout in person, Bai Zeshao returned to the living room and sat lazily on the sofa again, gently falling asleep with his eyes.

All the terrain of the villa is quickly memorized in my mind.

This is Bai Zeshao's habit, and it is also due to his profession. No matter where he goes, the first thing he needs to do is to familiarize himself with the terrain.

With his extraordinary memory, he quickly engraved all the terrain in his mind.

Opening his eyes, looking at the empty villa, Bai Zeshao was a little puzzled.

Apart from the servants and bodyguards, it seemed that no one from Hou Tian's family could be seen in the huge villa.

This weird situation made him very surprised, and he couldn't help being a little concerned.

But this matter is Hou Tian's private matter, and he is not going to directly intervene.

Sighing, he found a guest room on the top floor of the villa, closed the door, and opened the window to look outside.

Coincidentally, standing here, you can see the headquarters two streets behind.

Because the distance was too far, Bai Zeshao could only see the general outline of the headquarters, but not the specific content.

Even so, this unexpected harvest is not a big surprise for Bai Zeshao.

Suddenly, the sound of an engine attracted his attention, and he couldn't help but look back.

I saw Hou Tian, ​​who had just left not long ago, return to the villa again.

soon.

Hou Tian appeared in Bai Zeshao's room, looked at Bai Zeshao by the window, and said with a smile: "This place is not bad, it has a wide view."

"Very good." Bai Zeshao smiled lightly: "President Hou is not busy, why are you back?"

"My subordinates will do things for me. What I have to do is to serve Director Bai well. I brought you a present, which you will definitely like," Hou Tian said mysteriously.

"What gift?" Bai Zeshao asked curiously.

He was by the window just now and watched Hou Tian walk into the villa with his own eyes, without taking anything at all.

"Come down with me, and you will know what the gift is." After Hou Tian finished speaking, he turned and walked downstairs.

Mr. Bai Ze shook his head helplessly and followed directly.

first floor.

An empty living room.

When Mr. Bai Ze walked down, what came into view were many kinds of delicacies with all kinds of colors, flavors and tastes.

Behind the delicacies stand the producers of these delicacies.

After a general scan, Mr. Bai Ze came to Hou Tian and said, "President Hou, thank you very much."

"Director Bai, I can only use this method to satisfy your regret. I hope Director Bai likes it," Hou Tian said with a smile.

"I like it, I like it very much." When Bai Zeshao spoke, he had already started to taste the food.

Watching this scene, Hou Tian didn't bother Bai Zeshao anymore, and directly exited the living room.

The next day.

When Bai Zeshao came downstairs, he saw many delicacies and snacks in the lobby on the first floor again, but Hou Tian was nowhere to be seen.

Without thinking too much, I started to taste it directly.

For the next week, local delicacies would appear in front of Bai Zeshao almost every day.

It is worth mentioning that many delicacies that appear every day are different.

Within a week, no food was repeated.

He doesn't know how many delicacies he hasn't tasted, but he has had enough of this kind of life.

After all, no matter how good the food is, eating it all the time will definitely make you tired.

Especially since he still has tasks to perform, how could he stay in Hou Tian's villa and enjoy himself all the time.

So he was going to have a serious talk with Hou Tian, ​​and by the way, use Hou Tian's influence to do something.

Because I have already called before, Hou Tian will appear later.

at the same time.

Inside the headquarters.

After listening to his subordinates' surveillance report on Bai Zeshao, Chishang Huizi frowned and said, "Are you sure that Bai Zeshao has not gone out, but stayed in the villa to enjoy delicious food?"

"OK, because we set up four monitoring points around the villa, which can monitor every direction without dead ends"

"And just in case, monitoring is done 24 hours a day," the guard replied.

"Have you checked the vendors who brought food in?" Chishang Huizi asked.

"It's all been investigated"

"These people are just simple craftsmen, and everyone is an old face who set up stalls on the street. The short period is four or five years, and the long period is seven or eight years or even ten years."

"They were just hired by Hou Tian at a high price to make delicious food for Mr. Bai Ze," the guard replied.

Then he paused and continued: "But there is a strange situation?"

"What's the situation?" Keiko Chigami asked with interest.

"Every time Mr. Bai Ze tastes a delicacy, he will ask the food producers some questions about the food. He will also ask these people about the situation around the stall."

"For example, if there are any iconic places nearby, there will be more customers in that area, etc."

"Based on all the small vendors' questions, I always feel that Bai Zeshao seems to be looking for something, but I can't figure it out."

Waving to let the guards leave, Keiko Chigami frowned and tapped her fingers on the table.

In his mouth, he muttered softly: "Young Master Bai Ze, what exactly do you want to do?"

What the guard said just now is not sure and there is speculation, but Chishang Huizi can be sure. After these vendors tell, Bai Zeshao may have formed a map of Hangzhou that is accurate to every corner in his mind.

It might be rough, but it's absolutely accurate.

This is Bai Zeshao's ability, an ability that belongs to him alone.

With a superb memory, he has definitely engraved the map in his mind.

For people like them, memorizing maps has only one purpose, which is to facilitate their actions.

Now that the map is familiar, Master Bai Ze may be ready to take action.

Thinking of this, Chishang Huizi said loudly: "Come here!"

"Master" the guard came in and asked.

"Is Young Master Bai Ze still in Hou Tian's villa?" Chishang Huizi asked.

"In" replied the guard.

"Prepare the car, I'm going to Hou Tian's villa," Keiko Chishang said directly.

"Yes, Colonel." The guard turned and left.

……

villa.

When Mr. Bai Ze had just rested on the sofa after eating, Hou Tian walked in from the outside with a smile on his face.

Then he sat opposite Mr. Bai Ze and said, "Director Bai, how are you doing? Are you satisfied with my hospitality?"

"I'm so satisfied, I never thought that one day I would have such a big blessing, thank you"

"President Hou, if there is anything Bai can do to help me in the future, please don't be polite to me," Bai Ze said with emotion.

"Haha, I remember Director Bai's words."

"In the future, if something really happens, I will definitely not be polite to Director Bai," Hou Tian said directly and loudly without being polite.

During this time, he did his best to serve Bai Zeshao, not because of this promise.

Since Bai Zeshao spoke, of course he would not refuse.

Bai Zeshao nodded emphatically, and then they both looked at each other and laughed.

"I forgot to mention, I have collected some other delicacies, and I will come over in the afternoon," Hou Tian said suddenly.

"No, it's better." Bai Zeshao hastily waved his hands and refused, "President, I can't eat it, really."

Seeing Bai Zeshao's determined look, Hou Tian didn't insist either, and ordered someone to cancel it directly.

"You two, why are you so happy? I can hear your laughter from far away." At this moment, a crisp voice came from the door.

Hearing this voice, Hou Tian stood up straight away, turned to the door and said, "Master, why are you here?"

"I heard that President Hou has delicious food here, so I'll come over to taste it," Chishang Huizi said while sitting opposite Bai Zeshao.

"Da Zuo also likes food, so I'll let someone prepare it," Hou Tian said quickly.

"Then thank you, President Hou," Chi Shanghuizi looked at Bai Zeshao and said with a smile.

"Master, wait a moment, I'll go and see the situation of those delicacies." Hou Tian knew that Chishang Huizi was looking for Mr. Bai Ze, so he found an excuse and left directly.

With his departure, the bodyguards, servants, and some guards in the living room all left.

In the end, only Bai Zeshao and Ikegami Keiko were left in the living room.

Bai Zeshao looked at Huizi Chishang opposite and said, "When did your taste change? I remember that in the past, you didn't seem to like these street stalls very much."

"Didn't you say that people change? Besides, you didn't seem to like these things before," Ikegami Keiko replied sarcastically.

"That's true," Bai Zeshao shook his head and said indifferently.

"Want a plate?" Keiko Chishang said suddenly.

"what?"

"Playing chess, do you want to kill a game?" Keiko Chigami asked, pointing at the chess in the corner of the table.

"Yes, but my level is not very high." Mr. Bai Ze nodded.

"I'm also a novice, and I just fell in love with this thing recently," Keiko Chigami explained.

Soon, the two of them took up positions and fought, showing their sharpness and murderous intent.

It is impossible to see that it is two novices who are playing, as if two generals who have been fighting for a long time are playing chess.

"What are you going to do?" Keiko Chigami asked while playing chess.

"I'm actually looking for someone." Young Master Bai Ze said without raising his head.
