Time ticked by, and it was almost 1 a.m. The six members of the arrest team were ready. Each of them was dressed in black and wearing soft-soled shoes, sitting quietly and waiting for the order from their leader, Matsui Ichiro.

At this moment, Matsui Ichiro spoke up and instructed, "Once the operation begins, this surveillance point will be unnecessary. We will not be coming back after this trip. Everyone must check carefully and leave no trace."

Upon hearing his words, the other team members immediately followed his instructions and cleaned up all traces in the room.

Only Kawaguchi Ryosuke hesitated and said, "Matsui-kun, isn't it a bit too hasty to act today? We'd better observe for a couple more days and find a better ambush location. This place is too close to the Chinese intelligence headquarters. If we're not careful, and a shot is fired, it will immediately attract the Chinese agents, and it will be difficult for us to evacuate."

Onuma Takuya, standing to the side, said with great dissatisfaction, "Kawaguchi-kun, you're being too cautious. Everyone here is a tactical expert handpicked by Team Leader Imai. How can something go wrong if six people are fighting one person? Does Ning Zhiheng have three heads and six arms?"

Hearing what Takuya Onuma said, Ryosuke Kawaguchi said no more. Takuya Onuma was an excellent action expert who had carried out many difficult missions and completed them very well. He had enough confidence in himself. Besides, each of the six people was agile and skilled, so there really shouldn't be any accidents.

Team leader Matsui Ichiro also looked helpless and said, "Kawaguchi-kun, we don't have much time. This mission has been delayed for more than twenty days. Team leader Imai has already urged us and warned us through the intelligence officer. You are in direct contact with the intelligence officer, so you should know the situation better than I do. Our intelligence team in Nanjing has stopped intelligence work for forty days. Section Chief Sagawa and Team Leader Imai are under a lot of pressure. I don't want to delay any longer."

At this point, he solemnly addressed all the members: "We will take action at two in the morning. Everyone must be careful; success or failure hinges on this."

"Yes, sir!" the other five people replied respectfully.

At two o'clock in the morning, Matsui checked his watch and gave the order: "Begin the operation!"

The six arresting officers opened the door and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

At this moment, Tan Jinhui, who was originally under great tension, managed to stay awake until the middle of the night after a day of continuous tension, and finally fell asleep.

But shortly after he fell asleep, a figure slowly approached, and suddenly a large hand covered his mouth. At the same time, he was struck hard on the carotid artery and fell into a coma.

"Confirm the target," Matsui Ichiro ordered in a low voice. The operation went unexpectedly smoothly. They gently pried open the window and entered the room. The target inside was completely unaware and still fast asleep. Only after knocking the target unconscious did he feel relieved.

Takuya Onuma, who was in charge of the operation, turned on his flashlight and carefully examined Tan Jinhui's face, confirming, "It is indeed Ning Zhiheng, there is no mistake."

At this point, he chuckled coldly and said, "If I had known it was this kind of trash, I could have handled it by myself."

He also felt that the operation had gone very smoothly. His previous considerations were overly cautious. Now that the target was in hand, the next steps would be simple.

"Don't linger, evacuate immediately," Matsui Ichiro ordered in a low voice. They had to leave the scene as soon as possible, otherwise an accident could easily occur.

Several people tightly gagged Tan Jinhui with a wad of cloth, then quickly tied his hands and feet with a rope, stuffed him into a sack, and shoved him into a burlap sack. Takuya Onuma, who was the strongest, carried the sack on his shoulder, gently opened the door, and went out. Ichiro Matsui carefully closed the door, and then the group quickly left.

The entire operation went very smoothly, and everyone was in high spirits. After lying in wait in Nanjing for so many days, they finally captured their target. The next step was to interrogate him severely. Hopefully, everything would go smoothly and they could extract the information they needed.

As they moved quickly under the cover of night, they were completely unaware that a figure was slowly emerging from a corner behind them. He watched the six people's retreating figures with a smug look on his face.

The moles planted at every intersection in the vicinity meant that no matter where they went, they couldn't escape the eyes of the Military Intelligence Investigation Service agents who had been lying in wait for a long time.

The arrest team moved quickly, turning two blocks away and arriving at their hideout, a dilapidated courtyard.

Two other team members were waiting in the courtyard. When they saw that everyone had returned, carrying a large sack, they knew that the operation had been successful. They quickly opened the gate to let their companions in and then locked the gate tightly.

Just as the courtyard gate closed, two figures appeared in the darkness in the distance. The two exchanged a hand signal, one of them quickly left to report the news, while the other stayed behind to continue monitoring the movements inside the courtyard.

Soon Huo Yueze arrived with a large number of action team members. The team members were familiar with the area and quickly surrounded the courtyard.

"Yueze, everything is just as you predicted. This time we're going to be a great success. We've captured so many Japanese spies. Our action team can finally show off again." Sun Jiacheng looked at the dark courtyard and chuckled softly.

Huo Yueze had just been promoted to major, and now he had another merit to his name, so he was naturally very excited. He smiled at Sun Jiacheng but did not answer. Instead, he called his deputy Shen Xiang and said, "You prepare to launch a strong attack. The pistol squad will provide cover. The squad leader instructed us to try to capture them alive. If they put up a stubborn resistance, then we will not hold back."
