Propelled headlong into the relentless currents of history, Ji Yu finds himself transplanted to the tumultuous prelude to WWII.
Once an ordinary civil servant in his modern existence, Ji Yu i...
In the lobby of Shanghai Kangji Hospital, Zuo Gang and his team leader Zhou Hao were surveying the surroundings.
They surveyed the security guards, lobby, and emergency room of Kangji Hospital before turning around, leaving the hospital, and getting into their car parked not far from the gate.
Zuo Gang began explaining the details of the operation to Zhou Hao: "Today you will be in charge of the operation at Tangji Hospital. As soon as you receive our signal, you will subdue the guards, then take control of the doctors and nurses in the emergency room. Next, you will disguise yourself as them and wait for Number 76 to deliver the target. After receiving the person, you will evacuate through the other exit of the emergency room!"
Zhou Hao nodded in acceptance, then after a moment's thought, asked, "What if Number 76 doesn't take the rescue target to Kangji Hospital, but instead takes them to another hospital?"
Zhou Hao's concerns were also reasonable. Shanghai has many public service facilities and hospitals. Kangji Hospital is the closest hospital to No. 76, but it cannot be guaranteed that No. 76 will send people here safely.
Zuo Gang said, "That's why I told you to wait for my notification before taking action."
At this point, he pointed to a grocery store in front of him.
“There’s a public phone here. Wait for my call. I’ll be monitoring the intersection of Jessfield Road. It’s only a ten-minute drive from No. 76 to here. If their vehicle leaves No. 76 and heads towards Kangji Hospital, you should act immediately. There’s not much security at the hospital, and we can control them in a few minutes. That’s enough time for you to prepare. If they don’t head towards Kangji Hospital, then we’ll have to resort to force. I’ll bring enough team members to follow them and take action on the way. You can then withdraw and abandon the operation.”
"Understood!" Zhou Hao nodded in acceptance.
Zhou Hao and his team are experienced and well-trained elite agents with strong operational capabilities. As long as there are no unforeseen events, the rescue operation should be fine.
After explaining everything, Zuo Gang got out of the car, turned around and walked to another car. He looked around, got into the car, and drove away quickly.
He got off the bus near the intersection of Jessfield Road, walked a distance, came to a newsstand, picked up a newspaper, and began to read it.
The stall owner didn't say much, but kept glancing towards the direction of Gate 76 in the distance. Finally, he said in a low voice, "Team leader, this location is a bit far. Besides, it will get dark soon, and I will have to leave. It would be best to find a surveillance point near their gate."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Gang glared at him fiercely and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Think before you act! This is the headquarters of Agent 76. Most of the street is filled with their people. They have already thoroughly investigated the surrounding residents. Have you forgotten how the Shanghai station suffered a setback?"
After being reprimanded by Zuo Gang, the newsstand owner fell silent. Zuo Gang glanced at his watch and said, "It's 6:30 now. You can't stay here any longer. Pack up now and arrange for a second group to keep watch."
"Yes!" the newsstand owner replied, and quickly began to pack up.
Zuo Gang also threw down a banknote, picked up the newspaper in his hand, and turned to leave.
Just as all the rescue team members were ready and waiting for their target to appear, they had no idea that the person they were trying to rescue had just ended his life and completed the last leg of his journey.
In the medical room of the Special Agent Headquarters, Deputy Director Li Zhiqun and Deng Mingxiang, the captain of the Third Action Team, were looking at the cold corpse in front of them with grim expressions. The on-duty doctor carefully examined the body and turned to report to Li Zhiqun: "Director, this person has been confirmed dead. When he was brought here, he was already cold. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the heart. There were no other external injuries on the body. The cause of death is clear, and there are no doubts!"
Li Zhiqun waved his hand, and the on-duty doctor left. He turned to Deng Mingxiang and asked coldly, "We just arrested him yesterday, and today he's dead. This person was on the list of National Assembly delegates. How am I supposed to explain this to the Special Committee? How am I supposed to explain this to Mr. Wang?"
Li Zhiqun's tone was icy and harsh, chilling Deng Mingxiang to the bone. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. He had thought this was a big fish and was just waiting to reel it in tomorrow, but this had happened.
“This subordinate doesn’t know why either. Why would Fan Zhongfu suddenly do such a thing? Everyone saw it clearly: he suddenly attacked the guards, seized their guns and injured them, and was shot in the chaos. My men didn’t have time to react…”
Li Zhiqun suddenly grabbed Deng Mingxiang by the collar and pulled him forcefully in front of him, startling Deng Mingxiang so much that he trembled and dared not utter another word.
"You still dare to talk about your people? Why doesn't that bastard just die? Have you lost your mind? You've put him in solitary confinement, assigned someone to keep an eye on him, and haven't even given him time to go out for fresh air. Even if he's an idiot, he knows he's been exposed. Do you think he'll just sit here and wait to die?"
Li Zhiqun grew angrier as he spoke. He shoved Deng Mingxiang aside, and Deng Mingxiang fell to the ground with the force of the blow. He didn't dare to say a word, but hurriedly got up and stood bowing in front of Li Zhiqun.
At this moment, he felt wronged, but dared not utter a word of argument. He had sent people to closely monitor Fan Zhongfu because he was afraid that Fan Zhongfu might send out warning signals through his contact with others, or even cause accidents through his communication with outsiders. Otherwise, with so many people involved, he would have no way to control the situation.
It was unexpected that Fan Zhongfu would dare to seize a gun and injure someone in this dangerous place, attempting to resist. Wasn't this just courting death?
