Chen Hongchi waved his hand and said, "We can't wait for them. Let's start doing it ourselves. Now is the time when Number 76 is weak and they are too busy to take care of themselves. It's a good time for us to take action."
Several people nodded. They had followed Chen Hongchi for a long time and knew that their superior was outstanding in ability and had always been proud and arrogant. Even if he didn't say it, they probably had the desire to compare with the Shanghai Intelligence Section and were unwilling to fall behind!
At the French Concession Police Station, Lei Daming and his men spent a long time dealing with the scene and returned to the police station. With something on his mind, he handed over the follow-up work to Zhang Puhe, then quickly went out the door, started his car, and headed straight for the residence of his master, Chen Ting.
Upon entering the Chen mansion, he went straight to the study to see his master. Pushing open the door, he saw Chen Tingzheng lying calmly on a rattan chair, listening to opera with his eyes closed, his fingers rhythmically tapping the rattan chair, looking completely relaxed and content.
Hearing someone come in, Chen Ting opened his eyes and glanced at the person. Seeing that it was Lei Daming, he didn't pay any attention and continued listening to the music, occasionally humming along.
Seeing that his master was in high spirits, Lei Daming had no choice but to sit aside and wait. Only after the song was finished did Chen Ting straighten up and point at Lei Daming.
Lei Daming quickly stepped forward and removed the needle from the record player's pickup, causing the music to stop abruptly.
"What's wrong? What happened again?" Chen Ting asked slowly.
Lei Daming's expression was grave, and he said in a low voice, "Master, Wan Mulin killed Luo Zidong. This is forcing us to choose sides! He's being too ruthless!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ting's eyes widened immediately. He stood up abruptly from the recliner, his previous relaxed demeanor completely gone. He stared intently at Lei Daming and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Tell me clearly!"
"Just this afternoon, Luo Zidong hosted a banquet for Wan Mulin at the Huijiang Grand Hotel, but Wan Mulin didn't show up at all. As a result, a huge explosion occurred at the hotel, destroying the entire floor. Luo Zidong, his brother Yan Xing, and more than forty bodyguards and gunmen were all killed. When we arrived, the scene was extremely horrific, exactly the same as the situation when Lu Tianqiao was killed two years ago. There was no sign of resistance, and the other side calmly finished him off with shots, all at close range, leaving no survivors. This is a unique method of Chongqing special agents. I'm sure it was done by the same group of people."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ting gasped. He turned and paced back and forth in the room, his mind racing.
Lei Daming continued, "After the murderer escaped without a trace, Wan Mulin even sent Chai Asi into the restaurant to confirm Luo Zidong's life or death in front of me. This is a warning to us! Master, do you think Wan Mulin is trying to force us to take a stand? If we don't agree to that matter, I'm afraid we won't be able to get away with it!"
Chen Ting frowned even more deeply, and after a long while, he said with a puzzled look, "I've dealt with Wan Mulin for so many years, and he's never been this domineering before?"
Lei Daming shook his head and said, "It must be his doing. Luo Zidong has been so scared by the Chongqing special agent incident that he has been staying at home all this time, deploying a large number of bodyguards and gunmen to guard his house. Everything has been fine until today. But today, Wan Mulin transferred him out of Luo's mansion, and this happened. Who else do you think it could be?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ting couldn't help but believe it. Things couldn't possibly be such a coincidence. As for the people behind Wan Mulin, they had a special relationship with the Military Intelligence Bureau, so doing this was no problem at all.
Chen Ting sighed, "Sigh, we've known each other for so many years, do we really have to push this hard?"
Lei Daming, however, said with a solemn expression, "Now that he has the support of Chongqing, he is full of confidence. This matter is of great importance, and he has come back from Hong Kong specifically because he is determined to succeed. It is normal for him to be ruthless. However, if we do not agree, I am afraid he will not let us off so easily."
Chen Ting stamped his foot and said angrily, "Sigh, I was just sitting at home when trouble came from nowhere. I just wanted to stay home and live my life, but my brother-in-law is too domineering. He's already in Hong Kong, and he's still sticking his nose into my mouth. He's trying to put me on the hot seat!"
