Nanzō Yunzi was secretly annoyed. She knew Zhou Zhengqing was doubting her performance. She lowered her head slightly and said in a softer voice, "Master, Yunzi really wants to serve you wholeheartedly. Those thoughts were just a momentary confusion. Please don't be angry, okay? Yunzi only hopes to be by your side in the future and do her best."

Zhou Zhengqing still didn't open his eyes when he heard her words. He just snorted coldly and said, "Now that you know, then continue to talk about why you came here specially for Fang Junnian's death.

Was submitting the report just an excuse? Your real purpose was Fang Junnian's matter, right?

You knew that mentioning Fang Junnian would expose you, but you still did it. It seems like a big deal."

After hearing what Zhou Zhengqing said, Nanzō Yunko put away all the disguised expressions on her face, returning to her initial charm, with an uncontrollable smile flowing from the corners of her eyes.

While feeling relieved, he began to massage Zhou Zhengqing's feet.

"Young master, you are really smart. Actually, Yunzi didn't have to come, but after thinking about it, I still feel that I should tell you about this." Nanzō Yunzi spoke more directly this time, and her tone was not as pretentious as before.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Zhengqing asked with a frown.

"Fang Junnian's death is related to Itai Yudai.

His meeting with Fang Junnian has been exposed, and Takeda Hirokazu wants to take this opportunity to avenge the garrison troops!" Nanzō Yunko said coldly.

"According to reliable information from an insider planted by the Special High Police within the garrison troops, Takeda Koichi is currently using all means to find evidence of Itai Yudai colluding with the underground party.

This Takeda Hirokazu is like a hound with a keen sense of smell. Once he smells solid evidence, he will definitely combine it with the incident of us destroying and looting the garrison headquarters last time and launch a fierce accusation against the military.

On my side, I contacted some trustworthy people through my network in China, and learned that the military is also having a headache because of the loss of military funds for the garrison troops.

The military has issued an extremely strict order, requiring Kozuki Seiji to make up for the military expenses on his own. If he fails to do so, he will have to return to the country to report on his work, which is almost equivalent to ruining Kozuki Seiji's military future.

I guess Takeda Koichi and Kazuki Seiji are making a last-ditch effort. They're trying to use the incident with Itai Yudai and the underground party to force us to hand over the military funds."

After saying this, Zhou Zhengqing's fingers, which were resting on the armrest of the sofa, began to tap rhythmically, as if he was thinking about this series of complicated situations.

For a moment, the entire office fell silent.

After a long while, Zhou Zhengqing slowly spoke, "They wanted to attack Fang Junnian, but unfortunately, Fang Junnian is already dead."

Nanzō Yunko had been concentrating, and upon hearing this, she immediately interjected, "But Takeda Koichi and Kazuki Seiji haven't given up yet. They're completely desperate now.

Intelligence agencies such as Maochuan Mansion have some target persons who are suspected to be anti-Japanese elements. According to conventional logic, in order to maximize their interests, they should have conducted meticulous screening of these target persons and screened out truly valuable intelligence.

However, Takeda Hirokazu and Kazuki Seiji are now in a desperate situation. They can't wait any longer and have already started arresting people on a large scale."

As Nanzō Yunko spoke, she carefully observed Zhou Zhengqing's expression.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengqing suddenly had an idea in his mind. He remembered the large-scale arrests that took place last night and the attack by the Military Control Commission this morning. Those seemingly unrelated details seemed to be connected.

"Okay, Yunzi, the massage is almost done. Help me put on my shoes." Zhou Zhengqing straightened his body, withdrew his gaze from the window, and gave a light instruction.

As Nanzō Yunko leaned over to help him put on his shoes, Zhou Zhengqing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked thoughtfully, "You should know about Takeda Koichi's plan to arrest Chen Gongshu, the head of the Military Control Commission's Tianjin Station, this morning. Do you think there's some connection?"

When Nanzō Yunko heard Zhou Zhengqing's question, she suddenly stopped helping Zhou Zhengqing put on his shoes, as if time had stopped at that moment. Then she slowly raised her head, her eyes revealing a complicated expression. She glanced at Zhou Zhengqing carefully, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Yun Zi, just tell me whatever you want to say. You don't have to worry too much or hide anything from me." Zhou Zhengqing urged in a calm tone upon seeing this.

"Then... then I'll tell you, young master, please don't be angry, and don't punish Yunzi for this." Nanzō Yunzi put on a pitiful and touching look again, as if she had suffered great injustice.

Zhou Zhengqing frowned slightly, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction: "Yunzi, be serious!"

"Smith, Yunzi is just doing it out of professional habit. I will definitely pay attention next time." Seeing that Zhou Zhengqing's expression was a little unhappy, Nanzō Yunzi quickly lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Tell me, what do you know?"

"Young Master, things are actually both simple and complicated. Katsuki Seiji has made further progress." Nanzō Yunko slowly raised her head and looked at Zhou Zhengqing.

"Go one step further?" Zhou Zhengqing widened his eyes in surprise and asked subconsciously.

A strong curiosity surged in his heart, and he vaguely felt that what Nanzō Yunko said was most likely that Katsuki Seiji was coveting the position of commander of the North China Expeditionary Force.

But he also hoped that this was not what Nanzō Yunko said. After all, if this was the case, then Nanzō Yunko's intelligence capabilities or the network of relationships behind her would be too strong, which inevitably made Zhou Zhengqing feel a little uneasy.

"The Empire is currently discussing the formation of a North China Expeditionary Force to integrate the Empire's military forces in North China and replace the current garrison with a new expeditionary force.

"Katsuki Seiji is incredibly ambitious. He's striving for the position of commander. This would allow him to directly supervise several division commanders in North China, giving him even greater power." As expected, Nanzō Yunko spoke slowly, her tone tinged with boastful pride, as if this were her own achievement.

Zhou Zhengqing looked at Nanzō Yunko deeply, and secretly marveled in his heart: She is worthy of being Doihara's direct disciple, her ability to infiltrate intelligence is simply beyond imagination.

I just learned about this news, but I didn't expect that Nanzō Yūko had already obtained this information earlier.
