Before arriving at the Second Action Team, Luo Xingchao was aware of Xu Yongchang's identity, because Xu Yongchang had been captured by the enemy. Even if Ning Zhiheng trusted him, he could not be careless in the necessary procedures. So he quickly ordered Luo Xingchao to investigate some of the circumstances after Xu Yongchang's capture.
After receiving the order from Ning Zhiheng, Luo Xingchao immediately began the investigation of Xu Yongchang. He quickly learned about the situation through various channels and gave a detailed report to Ning Zhiheng that evening.
"Sir, after Xu Yongchang was captured, his behavior in the military camp was not problematic. Zhang Jingyao did not torture these officers. At most, he only interrogated them. With this level of interrogation, Xu Yongchang would not betray his cause."
My informants in the interrogation department also confirmed that after these officers entered the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, Wang Hanmin focused his main attention on Wei Minglang, the leader, and spent most of his time interrogating him. He didn't pay much attention to Xu Yongchang and the others. These officers surrendered easily thanks to Wei Minglang's persuasion efforts. Therefore, I believe that Xu Yongchang's defection was indeed somewhat reserved and should be reliable!
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng nodded. He didn't know others well enough to make a judgment for the time being, but he was very clear about Xu Yongchang. It was impossible for him to betray the country so easily because of such a low-intensity interrogation, so the conclusion of the investigation was still credible!
After thinking for a long time, he said to Luo Xingchao, "Xu Yongchang's position is very important. The task of eliminating Wang Hanmin will fall on his shoulders. However, his mission is not limited to this. I need to try my best to keep this pawn. It seems that we need to come up with a foolproof plan. You must pay close attention to his actions and provide him with some assistance when he needs it."
Luo Xingchao nodded and accepted the order, saying, "Yes, I will be careful. However, if necessary during our interactions, may I reveal my identity?"
Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "For safety's sake, it's best not to reveal your identity. We'll decide based on the situation later. If he can stay at No. 76 after the operation to eliminate Wang Hanmin, he can be incorporated into your Muyu Group and placed under your leadership. If not, it'll be a one-off deal, and we'll send him to southern Jiangsu. I still need to see how things go!"
Ning Zhiheng knew that Mu Yu's achievements at the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters were hard-won, and he had become an ace in his hands, no less than Gu Feng. Therefore, necessary precautions were necessary, and it would be better to assign a separate liaison to Xu Yongchang.
Around noon the next day, on a street in the Shanghai International Settlement, Xu Yongchang, wearing a trench coat, lingered for a long time at the corner of the street, his gaze fixed on a courtyard gate not far away, seemingly hesitant.
Since returning to Shanghai, he has not visited his family, because he does not want others to know the true whereabouts of his family, and also because he does not know how to answer his family's inquiries, so he has been hesitant.
But living in the same city as his relatives, he still couldn't help but want to visit them. So he secretly went to the door of the house where his parents had been settled and looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of them.
Just as he stopped and looked around, he suddenly felt movement behind him. Xu Yongchang was agile and reacted quickly. He moved to the side and grabbed his gun. But when he saw who was behind him, he quickly relaxed.
The person who arrived was none other than Huo Yueze. Huo Yueze looked at him coldly and said in a low voice, "Come with me!"
Xu Yongchang immediately nodded and quickly followed Huo Yueze for a distance. When they arrived at a car, Huo Yueze gestured for Xu Yongchang to get in, opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards Suzhou Bridge.
"Director Huo, how did you know I was here?"
Xu Yongchang did not work in intelligence within the National Salvation Army, so he was unaware of Huo Yueze's current identity and continued to address Huo Yueze by his previous title.
Huo Yueze didn't turn around. With his hands on the steering wheel, the car moved slowly forward. He said calmly, "I'm not telling you to wait for news and not to act rashly, but do you know that entering the concession again will arouse suspicion?"
It was not surprising that Huo Yueze was able to find Xu Yongchang, because Xu Yongchang's family had been under the surveillance of the intelligence department, and Xu Yongchang's appearance quickly caught Huo Yueze's attention.
Ning Zhiheng has completed his screening of Xu Yongchang. Given Ning Zhiheng's security clearance level, he cannot personally convey orders to Xu Yongchang, especially since Xu Yongchang is about to carry out the mission of eliminating Wang Hanmin, which is extremely dangerous. If he unfortunately falls into enemy hands, it will pose a great threat to Ning Zhiheng!
So Huo Yueze was preparing to enter the city again to contact Xu Yongchang, but unexpectedly Xu Yongchang entered the concession once more.
Upon hearing Huo Yueze's words, Xu Yongchang realized that his actions had been too rash. He apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Director Huo, I really miss my family and just wanted to come and see them."
Huo Yueze ignored his feelings and said directly, "From now on, you cannot enter the concession without orders. Besides, for the sake of your family, you should keep your distance from them. You know that very well!"
"Yes, I understand!"
The vehicle quickly arrived near the city of Suzhou and stopped at a street corner. Huo Yueze then turned to Xu Yongchang and said, "Your screening is complete. I am officially informing you that, given your current identity, it will be extremely beneficial to our future work. Therefore, you must remain at the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters and will be under the leadership of our Shanghai Intelligence Section!"
