Ning Dazhuang, who was outside the courtyard, was extremely anxious. He had not received a signal for a long time, and he dared not act rashly for fear of accidentally injuring Sun Zhengguo.
At this moment, a People's Liberation Army platoon leader quietly jogged over and reported in a low voice.
"Captain, there seemed to be some movement inside just now, but it wasn't too loud. What should we do?"
"Let's wait a bit longer! After all, we still have people inside, and he's quite skilled. If we act rashly, the enemy might resort to desperate measures," Ning Dazhuang said helplessly.
There was nothing he could do about it; even if Sun Zhengguo wasn't his brother-in-law, he couldn't disregard human life.
"Creak!"
The two were talking when they heard the sound of the courtyard gate suddenly being opened.
The People's Liberation Army soldiers at the gate, unaware of what was happening, suddenly pointed several cold gun barrels at the gate.
"Don't shoot, we're on the same side."
Sun Zhengguo, who was still in the courtyard, did not come out rashly, but first gave a reminder to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ning Dazhuang smiled and immediately ordered the cessation of the act.
"Put down your guns, these are our own people."
He then took the platoon leader and jogged to the door.
"Jung-guk, are you alright? What's the situation inside?"
Although it was pitch black outside, Ning Dazhuang was still able to see the person behind the door with the help of the faint light in the courtyard. It was his brother-in-law, Sun Zhengguo.
"Brother, don't be nervous. I've taken down everyone inside. There's not a single one who can move now."
After the two sides met, Sun Zhengguo briefly explained the situation to reassure Ning Dazhuang.
Upon hearing the news, Ning Dazhuang, without even a moment of joy, quickly arranged for his team to enter the courtyard. He then lit several large torches, illuminating the courtyard brightly.
Then came the truly awe-inspiring moment: when the group of soldiers saw what was inside the room, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Captain Ning's brother-in-law is really something. Facing so many enemy agents armed with knives and guns, he managed not to get a single hair on his head.
But as shocking as it may be, there's still the most important thing to do.
A group of People's Liberation Army soldiers first gathered the unconscious people together, and then took out the poison fang devices of several suicide soldiers and handcuffed them all.
After all that was done, the search could begin.
With Sun Zhengguo as their guide, there were no secrets in the courtyard, and the group quickly arrived at the secret room.
"My goodness! Captain, you've really done a great job this time. Look at the weapons here, enough to fight a small battle, and there's more..."
As soon as they entered the secret room, the platoon leader couldn't help but start announcing the good news.
"Alright, Platoon Leader Wu, I'm leaving this place to you. Make sure you search thoroughly and make a record. I have to go to another battlefield."
"Yes, Captain, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."
After giving the order, Ning Dazhuang called Sun Zhengguo and they left the secret room together.
After the two left the secret room, Ning Dazhuang patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and made a promise.
"Zhengguo, you handled things beautifully tonight. Don't worry, I will report your credit truthfully."
"Brother, there's no need to go into so much detail. We're working together, and everyone's contribution is significant."
Sun Zhengguo did not intend to take all the credit for himself; after all, one who tries to take all the credit for himself will not be well-liked anywhere.
"Hehe!" Ning Dazhuang chuckled noncommittally. "No matter what, the credit definitely goes to you."
"Oh! By the way, Zhengguo, I also need to give you a brief update on this case."
"Tonight we not only destroyed this den, but also destroyed three hidden sentries on the outskirts and successfully arrested nine criminals, but those people were all local idlers."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengguo immediately understood what was going on.
These sentries on the outer perimeter are likely also Miyuki Nakajima's hidden agents, who can send signals at any time to facilitate their escape should the situation turn against them.
I just didn't expect Ning Dazhuang and his team to be so capable, rendering these backup plans completely ineffective.
However, there is still one question: who is behind this?
"Brother, you just mentioned there's another battlefield. Could it be the one behind the scenes?"
"Yes, the situation over there is a bit complicated. It's a large, crowded courtyard, which has made our arrest very difficult."
Ning Dazhuang did not hide anything from his brother-in-law.
“Brother, since the situation is complicated, why don’t I accompany you? Perhaps I can be of some help.”
Ning Dazhuang glanced at Sun Zhengguo but didn't rush to refute him. After all, with his brother-in-law's abilities, he might actually be able to help.
"Alright! Then come with me, and I'll talk to you in detail on the way."
After saying that, the two left the yard, got into a jeep, and then the car drove off to an unknown place.
While the car was in motion, Ning Dazhuang began to brief Sun Zhengguo on the situation over there.
It turns out that the mastermind behind this is codenamed Spade K. According to Ning Dazhuang, this person may be a double agent.
As for the King of Spades, that is his identity as a member of the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau. His other identity is very likely that he is an undercover agent for the Special Higher Police of Japan.
The biggest challenge for this cunning opponent is not the complex environment of the tenement.
This guy just likes to keep dogs, which makes it impossible for strangers to get close to him.
Besides, this guy has been lurking in Beijing for so many years, participating in numerous kidnappings, assassinations, bombings and other terrorist activities. Who knows if he has any hidden hands?
If we alert him, he is very likely to flee ahead of time.
After hearing Ning Dazhuang recount so much, Sun Zhengguo became somewhat curious.
"Brother, after all you've said, how did this Mr. King of Spades get exposed this time?"
"They made a mistake despite their best efforts. Miyuki Nakajima's way of passing on information was by throwing away trash, and Spade's current identity is that of picking up trash. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Ning Dazhuang explained with a smile.
This time, it was no wonder that the King of Spades was unlucky. It turned out that the investigators had noticed something was wrong during their investigation.
So he collected information about this man named Wang Laoliu, and from the information he collected, the old man seemed to have no problems at all.
But as is often the case, this time something unexpected happened.
Just as this investigator was about to give up on the lead, the information caught the attention of another investigator.
It turns out that the investigator's hometown is the same place as the hometown address in Wang Laoliu's file.
However, unlike the other case, the investigator seemed to have never heard of the village in Wang Laoliu's file, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
Since there are doubts, we should definitely investigate further.
The final outcome was predictable. Under the powerful machinery of the government, the old man named Wang Laoliu had nowhere to hide and his identity as the King of Spades was directly exposed.
That's why tonight's arrest took place.
