The gun in this person's hand was pointed directly at Hitoshi Otani. Shinya Takeshita's departure created an opening next to Hitoshi Otani.

Without a second thought, Abe Yoshiaki reached out and shoved Takeshita Shinya, who had just moved, back to stand in front of Otani Hitoshi. At the same time, a gunshot rang out, and Takeshita Shinya fell to the ground.

The other Japanese agents reacted quickly, retaliating with their pistols in the direction of the gunshot. In an instant, Guo Cheng, who had raised his gun to stab Otani Hitoshi, was hit so hard that his body trembled and he fell backward.

Guo Cheng, who was just about to evacuate, suddenly noticed that after the gunshots rang out, a group of people were tightly protecting a man not far away. One of them even ran out of a house across the street and was respectfully speaking to the man in Japanese.

A thought suddenly struck him: this must be a rare and important figure, possibly even the leader of the enemy.

During this period, the intelligence station shifted its assassination targets to high-ranking Japanese military officials, but due to a lack of intelligence sources, it was unable to track down these officials and thus had no success.

But now, less than twenty meters away, there is such an important target. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I will give it my life if I have to!

At this point, he abandoned his retreat plan. He knew that Japanese agents were everywhere around him, and he knew he would not be able to return alive after this operation. However, he did not regret it. As long as he could succeed in the assassination, he would have died a martyr and had no regrets!

Unfortunately! Just as he seized his only chance to strike, Abe Yoshiaki noticed him and used Takeshita Shinya's body to block the inevitable shot, ultimately failing and falling to the enemy's gun!

Thus, the assassination operation completely failed, and all four agents of the operation team perished, sacrificing their lives heroically for their country!

Takeshita Shinya, who had been shot in the chest, collapsed limply onto Otani Hitoshi. Otani caught him and, seeing the bullet wound, shouted, "Quick, quick, Takeshita's been shot! Get him to the hospital right now!"

He knew very well that Takeshita Shinya had taken a bullet for him; otherwise, he would have been the one shot and lying on the ground.

Over the past two days, he had a very good impression of Takeshita Shinya. The young man treated him with respect yet was also witty, very talkative and easy-going, and his manners and speech were generous and measured. The two got along very well.

But to his utter surprise, an unexpected accident occurred, and in the blink of an eye, he was on the verge of death, collapsing in front of him. More importantly, this bullet was taken by him, which made Hitoshi Otani extremely anxious.

Upon hearing his order, several cars that had been waiting nearby immediately drove over and hurriedly lifted Takeshita Shinya into the car. Otani Hitoshi and his group also got into the car and sped off to the nearest hospital.

Iwai nosuke, who hadn't been able to get involved at all, watched the car drive away, feeling incredibly annoyed. Everyone's attention was focused on that idiot Takeshita Shinya, completely ignoring his presence. In the rush, he hadn't even had a chance to say a word to Mr. Otani.

At this moment, an agent who had been waiting nearby reported: "Iwai-kun, a total of four Chinese agents participated in the assassination operation. Two of them were killed, and two others committed suicide by ingesting potassium cyanide."

At this point, he continued in a low voice, "Mitani was shot twice and died on the spot. Morita was shot in the shoulder and is being bandaged to stop the bleeding. He's not in serious condition!"

"Baka!" Iwai Nosuke cursed loudly upon hearing that all four Chinese agents had died.

After planning for so long and spending so much effort, all he got in the end were four corpses, which was far from achieving his goal.

As for the deaths and injuries of Yosuke Mitani and Yuki Morita, he didn't care. Those two scoundrels were the most cunning and lazy guys in the intelligence team. It would be better if they died!

It's a pity that Morita escaped. It would have been better if they had been killed by the Chinese agents.
