"No, he didn't leave the Secret Service headquarters today either."
Hearing this, Ning Zhiheng secretly felt relieved. At yesterday's New Year's Eve party, Wang Hanmin saw his face. If he really couldn't hold back and wanted to expose him, who would he choose to expose?
It can only be the Kagesa Agency!
Because only the Shadow Agency is their backer, the Special Agent Headquarters is not popular with the puppet government, and the puppet government poses no threat to them.
They would never report something so important over the phone; they would report it to the Shadow Agency in person. Therefore, they would definitely leave the Special Agent Headquarters and head to the Shadow Agency.
However, neither Wang Hanmin nor Li Zhiqun made a move, nor even stepped out of the Special Agent Headquarters. This could mean that Wang Hanmin knew the danger, or that he was unsure of his own identity and dared not expose them easily. For now, he was holding back and not daring to make a sound.
That's good. Even if Ning Zhiheng isn't afraid of the Shadow Agency, it's still a problem after all.
Ning Zhiheng then asked, "Did the Shadow Agency, also known as Qingqing Zhengliang, go to the Special Agent Headquarters?"
Luo Xingchao shook his head and reported, "No, I report all matters at the Special Agent Headquarters to him. Unless there are special circumstances, Qing Qingzhengliang will not come to the Special Agent Headquarters."
It seemed that things were indeed as he had expected. Ning Zhiheng nodded and then instructed Luo Xingchao, "Since Wang Hanmin is already on guard, don't keep too close an eye on him. Wait until Xu Yongchang makes contact with him before taking action!"
Currently, the role and importance of the Wooden Fish Group are growing, and Ning Zhiheng cannot allow anyone in the Wooden Fish Group to be in any danger. He can only place his hopes on Xu Yongchang, and if all else fails, he will have to risk his life on him.
It's such a waste to do this. It's not Ning Zhiheng's style to give up such a hard-won piece just for Wang Hanmin.
Moreover, Ning Zhiheng has always been very protective of his brothers. If there is any real danger, he would rather abandon the mission than let them fall into a desperate situation. He is the same with Xu Yongchang.
Xu Yongchang devoted himself to the War of Resistance against Japan and survived a hail of bullets, but he was treated as a pawn to be sacrificed in his own hands. Ning Zhiheng still couldn't get over this!
To be honest, even if Ning Zhiheng is as hard-hearted as iron, he is still not as good as the Director. There is a fundamental difference between the two. The Director can truly treat everyone as a pawn. As long as there is value in sacrificing someone, he can throw anyone out.
But Ning Zhiheng couldn't do it. Since coming into this world, even though he had killed countless people, he had never had such thoughts about the people around him. This was his bottom line!
And so time flowed by like a calm, still river. Four days after the New Year's Eve dinner, in the headquarters of the secret service, Li Zhiqun, who had rushed back from the puppet government's office, called Wang Hanmin to his office.
Wang Hanmin quickly arrived, pushed open the door, and saw Li Zhiqun looking out the window with a gloomy expression. Hearing the knock, Li Zhiqun turned around to look at Wang Hanmin.
"Director, what can I do for you?" Wang Hanmin asked cautiously.
"We're in big trouble!"
Li Zhiqun waved his hand, his face showing great annoyance. He then leaned close to Wang Hanmin, lowered his voice, and spoke in an extremely solemn tone.
"Gao Zhiwu and Tao Chengyuan have defected!"
"What?"
The sudden news made Wang Hanmin gasp! His expression changed drastically instantly!
He was naturally aware of Gao Zhiwu and Tao Chengyuan's identities. They were both core members of the puppet government. Gao Zhiwu was the puppet government's Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Tao Chengyuan was the puppet government's Minister of Information. Both of them were Wang Tianhai's confidants and high-ranking officials in the puppet government.
In particular, Gao Zhiwu was highly regarded by Wang Tianhai. He followed Wang Tianhai from the time Wang was the KMT's foreign minister and was promoted all the way. He was a key member of Wang's faction. It can be said that every negotiation and consultation with the Japanese side was presided over by Gao Zhiwu. How could such a person defect so easily?
Wang Hanmin couldn't help but press further, "How is that possible? Is the news confirmed?"
"Absolutely! This time, the blame has fallen on my head again. What damn bad luck!"
Li Zhiqun couldn't help but curse and kicked the chair next to him away with a loud bang.
