Chapter 1195 Unexpected Situation

Luo Xingchao also frowned. At the beginning of the financial war, both sides were somewhat restrained and targeted each other's cadres and leaders. However, in the later stages, the conflict escalated, especially the No. 76 side, which eventually became completely unscrupulous and directly attacked innocent people, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

He shook his head and said, "The matter has become so big that the higher-ups must have known about it long ago. If they needed us to take action, they would have given us instructions. The fact that they haven't given us instructions means that they don't need us to get involved. We shouldn't act on our own. I'll go and see if I can get Li Zhiqun to meet with these people. Maybe that can ease the tension."

After giving his instructions, Bi Wenxiang left, and Luo Xingchao also left the office, went upstairs in a few steps, arrived at Li Zhiqun's office, knocked on the door and entered.

At that moment, Li Zhiqun and Wu Shicai were in the office. Seeing Luo Xingchao enter, Li Zhiqun was in a good mood and greeted him with a smile, "Xingchao, you've come at the right time, I was just looking for you!"

Luo Xingchao quickly smiled and said, "Director, please feel free to give any instructions!"

Li Zhiqun pointed at Wu Shicai: "Why don't you tell us?"

Luo Xingchao turned to look at Wu Shicai.

Wu Shicai hurriedly explained, "It's like this. During this period, we exchanged fire with Chongqing special agents several times and captured several prisoners. After interrogation, one of them confessed that in the case of assassinating Zhang Yonggang, someone inside us provided them with information in advance and even cooperated with them to infiltrate Dahua Hospital. As a result, that night, all the guards and staff we arranged were killed."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xingchao was immediately shocked. He was naturally aware of the Zhang Yonggang murder case. This man was the head of the business department of the Central Reserve Bank. He was seriously injured in the bombing of the Central Reserve Bank and was arranged to be treated at Shanghai Dahua Hospital. For this reason, No. 76 specially arranged sufficient guards to protect him. However, despite the tight security, the Shanghai Station still managed to sneak up on him and kill Zhang Yonggang and several injured colleagues and guards. This was the retaliatory attack with the largest number of kills in the Shanghai Station's assassination operation. Afterwards, because no survivors were left, the specific details of the case were unknown. He did not expect that Wu Shicai would get information about this attack from the captured personnel of the Shanghai Station.

Wu Shicai continued, "This person doesn't know much about the specifics. He only knows that someone is acting as an inside man, and the person in charge of the operation is Yang Wenbo, the action captain of the Shanghai station. Only Yang Wenbo knows the true identity of this mole, but Yang Wenbo also died in a firefight, so the trail went cold."

Because Dahua Hospital falls under the jurisdiction of the Second Action Team, I assigned the task of guarding Dahua Hospital to the Second Action Team. Now it seems that there must be an inside source from Shanghai Station within the Second Action Team; otherwise, they wouldn't have known the guard situation so clearly and easily eliminated so many guards. The entire operation was carried out swiftly and decisively, leaving no survivors. I had some suspicions before, but I wasn't sure. Now I have the answer.”

Li Zhiqun chimed in, "Xingchao, Wei Minglang's men are mostly officers from the National Salvation Army, making the situation extremely complicated. The emergence of Xu Yongchang alone has already caused us heavy losses. We must find this mole, or it will definitely cause us big trouble in the future. I'm entrusting this matter to you!"

As the second-in-command of the 76th Special Agent Headquarters, Luo Xingchao naturally had his own loyal men. Besides his First Division, there was Wei Minglang's Second Action Team. After Wang Hanmin's death, the team leader Wei Minglang quickly defected to Luo Xingchao.

Li Zhiqun has now tacitly accepted this fact. Originally, when this brigade was reorganized, it was intended to be used by Wang Hanmin. Since Wang Hanmin is dead, it is the same to hand it over to Luo Xingchao.

Now that the Second Action Team is involved, it is only natural to inform Luo Xingchao clearly, and it is only logical to hand over the next task to Luo Xingchao.

"Yes, Director, I will investigate as soon as possible and find this mole!" Luo Xingchao immediately nodded and accepted the order.
