Chapter 959 Inquiry into Details

"After you go back, at the very least you should change your address. Whether you can escape this disaster or not depends on fate."

"It's better if they come to the door; a bullet is better than being tortured to death in the interrogation room!"

The group of people were not familiar with each other, and since they didn't get along, they went their separate ways.

Luo Xingchao watched the four people leave through Gate 76 from the window, his eyes darting around as he secretly plotted something. Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in!"

Bi Wenxiang knocked on the door and entered. He walked a few steps to Luo Xingchao and reported, "The three people who were previously vacant have returned!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xingchao asked in surprise, "Why are there three people? Shouldn't there be six?"

Previously, Luo Xingchao received a group of Kuomintang agents who had defected to the enemy, but according to the list, six people were missing. Secretary Zhuang explained that these six people had gone out to carry out a mission and had now returned to report for duty. It seemed that the mission was completed, but three were missing.

Luo Xingchao had long suspected that the mission these six men were carrying out must be related to Wang Hanmin's arrest, so he had been waiting for them to return so he could find out more details.

"Bring them here right now!"

"yes!"

A short while later, Bi Wenxiang brought in three people. Luo Xingchao looked at them and asked in a deep voice, "Why are only you two here to report? Where are the other three people?"

One of the team members looked around and, seeing no one responding, replied, "Those three men all died during the mission. We were lucky to survive, so we're reporting to you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xingchao quickly followed up with, "Dead? How did he die? Give me a detailed report!"

But the team member hesitated, opened his mouth, and finally explained in a low voice, "Section Chief, the Director instructed that this mission must not be revealed to anyone..."

"fart!"

Luo Xingchao slammed his hand on the table, staring intently at the three men, and loudly reprimanded them: "Now I am your superior, and all your actions must obey my orders. Even if Director Li arranges things for you, you must go through me. Do I need to teach you that?"

Bi Wenxiang, who was standing to the side, also said coldly, "If you tell the truth honestly, you'll be on our side from now on. If you dare to become disloyal to the section chief or betray him, even Li Zhiqun won't be able to protect you!"

Bi Wenxiang's words were laced with veiled threat and showed no respect for Li Zhiqun, which sent a chill down the spines of the three team members, who were filled with uncertainty.

Luo Xingchao continued, "You're new here and there are some things you don't understand, which I don't blame you for. I'll be frank with you today. Everyone in our intelligence section is a former member of the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Bureau. In this No. 76, we can't get along with those Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong). If you want to gain a foothold here, you can only rely on me. Even if you defect to someone else, they won't believe you. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent you here!"

The three of them suddenly realized that this was the reason. In other words, they were all the same, with the same background and the same experiences. They recognized each other and could only stick together for warmth and seek a place in this No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, which was run by the Kuomintang Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

With no more reservations, the three of them recounted in detail their previous mission in the French Concession.

"That's how it is. Jiang Hui recognized Guan Han, the head of the intelligence department of the Shanghai station. Our daily work is to identify members of the Shanghai station at the surveillance point and follow them. But the night before last, the remaining personnel of the Shanghai station suddenly withdrew and attacked and killed the people who were following them. Jiang Hui and the other two were among them. Luo Zidong brought us back."

After listening to their account, Luo Xingchao finally understood the whole story. It turned out that a French Concession Green Gang had colluded to find the Shanghai Railway Station.

It's Luo Zidong again! Luo Xingchao couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred. Back then, it was they who cornered his group in the safe house. If he hadn't been quick-witted and noticed something was wrong, they would have fallen into enemy hands.

Later, when the Green Gang leader Lu Tianqiao was forcefully killed by the section chief, Luo Zidong escaped. As the saying goes, if you don't kill a snake, you will suffer the consequences. Now, sure enough, he has caused endless trouble, and the entire Shanghai station has been ruined by this man.

Luo Zidong's forces are now searching everywhere for the remaining personnel at the Shanghai station, posing a great threat. I must report this promptly and take decisive action.
