At this point, Wu Quanjiang and his companion were still quite a distance from the street corner. Wu Quanjiang knew that no matter what, they wouldn't make it to the street corner. He was extremely anxious and could only turn around and fire while barely managing to keep moving forward.

Soon, Ding Yuan let out a muffled groan and staggered. Wu Quanjiang quickly supported him and saw that he had been shot in the left leg.

The reason the agents dared not fire at Wu Quanjiang was because they wanted to capture him alive. Instead, they all aimed their guns at Ding Yuan, who was standing next to him. They didn't dare shoot at their vital organs, otherwise, the two would have been riddled with bullets by now!

Wu Quanjiang supported Ding Yuan's body. The pace suddenly slowed down.

In a panic, Ding Yuan shoved Wu Quanjiang aside and fired several shots backward, shouting, "Old Wu, you go quickly, I'll cover you!"

Just then, gunshots rang out again nearby. Two figures rushed from the street corner, firing their guns continuously. They were the two comrades Ding Yuan had arranged nearby, who had come to provide backup after hearing the gunshots.

They rushed forward, and two of them grabbed Ding Yuan on either side. After running a few steps, they hid in an alleyway of a shop and fired continuously from behind a wall.

Soon another agent was shot and fell to the ground. The agents scrambled for cover, and Zheng Mingshan grabbed the wounded Guotou and dragged him to a street corner, shouting, "Hold on tight! Hold them off! Reinforcements will be here soon; they can't escape!"

He was right. He had arranged a team of men at the back door of Zhongkang Traditional Chinese Medicine Store. As long as they could hold off Wu Quanjiang and his men, the gunfire would quickly attract the other spies.

Moreover, the director mentioned on the phone that Captain Duan Xingzhou would also be arriving soon with reinforcements! It's fair to say that the situation was extremely critical for Wu Quanjiang and his team!

Just then, a figure emerged from a street corner behind the spies. His face was covered by a cloth, revealing only a pair of clear eyes. It was Ning Zhiheng, who had been lying in ambush for a long time!

Ning Zhiheng left Qing Shi Tea House but did not return home. He knew that Wu Quanjiang was already under close surveillance by the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

He wasn't sure if Xia Deyan and the underground party behind him had the ability to arrange Wu Quanjiang's safe evacuation in such a short time.

After much deliberation, he still couldn't put his mind at ease and finally decided to go to Zhongkang Traditional Chinese Medicine Store in person. If everything went smoothly and Wu Quanjiang was safely rescued, he would naturally just stand by and watch.

If the rescue operation doesn't go smoothly and Wu Quanjiang is eventually arrested, then he will act accordingly, doing his utmost to rescue Wu Quanjiang.

If he really can't save him, then he will seize the opportunity to kill Wu Quanjiang.

Because he knew all too well that once Wu Quanjiang was arrested, there were only two possibilities for him.

The first scenario is that Wu Quanjiang, unable to endure the severe torture inflicted by the Party Affairs Investigation Department, ultimately betrayed his comrades and the Nanjing underground Party organization. Given his rank, his defection would have been a devastating blow to the entire Nanjing underground Party organization, with consequences far beyond what could be tolerated!

Ning Zhiheng would never allow this to happen under any circumstances.

The second scenario is that Wu Quanjiang, with his unwavering will and revolutionary faith, refused to succumb to the enemy's torture. But would the enemy let him go? Day after day of interrogation continued, and in the end, he still suffered endless torment and died tragically in prison!

If that's the case, then it would be better for Ning Zhiheng to give him a quick death now and let him suffer less!
