That evening, Ning Zhiheng's telegram was once again delivered to the Chongqing Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters.
After dismissing Wei Liangbi, the bureau chief looked at the contents of the telegram and could no longer sit still. Why would Wang Hanmin go to Qingdao? Would he affect the sabotage operation he had arranged?
According to Ning Zhiheng's analysis, Wang Hanmin should have some unknown connection with Qingdao Station, which should pose a great threat to Qingdao Station.
The director racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't grasp the key points and came up empty-handed.
Wang Hanmin was one of his early team members, but while cautious, his abilities were not particularly outstanding. To be honest, the director didn't pay much attention to him and didn't know much about his social connections and relatives.
Just to be on the safe side, he called the three section chiefs around him to his office and instructed Bian Ze to bring the personnel list from Qingdao Station with him.
Upon hearing that the bureau chief had summoned them late at night, the three section chiefs naturally dared not delay and quickly went to the bureau chief's office to report for duty.
Without wasting any words, the director handed the telegram to them and said, "This is an urgent telegram sent by the Shanghai Intelligence Section tonight. You all know the contents. According to their analysis, Wang Hanmin and the Qingdao Station should have some kind of connection, or rather, he is confident that he can use his previous connections to find the Qingdao Station's whereabouts."
But after thinking it over for a while, I realized that Wang Hanmin had been working at the Wuhan station for a long time, and his resume didn't show any connection with the Qingdao station. You're all veterans of the Military Intelligence Bureau, so let's think together and see if there's anything Wang Hanmin might know.
The three section chiefs were all veterans who had followed the director. They were key members during the Lixingshe period and later became leaders in their respective areas during the Military Intelligence Bureau. Naturally, they knew a great deal of information.
Upon hearing the director's order, they all dug into their memories and carefully recalled Wang Hanmin's past experiences.
Bian Ze then handed over the current personnel list of Qingdao Station to everyone, trying to find out who might have had contact with Wang Hanmin.
As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work!" After careful recollection, everyone finally identified several people who had interacted with Wang Hanmin.
Zhao Ziliang said, "First of all, there's Fu Shengyuan, the station chief of Qingdao. He's also a veteran from the Lixingshe era. However, back then, Fu Shengyuan was in the Action Section, while Wang Hanmin was in the Organization and Training Section. They may have met, but they definitely didn't have any personal relationship."
Zhao Ziliang was so certain because he was Fu Shengyuan's superior at the time, knew Fu Shengyuan well, and knew that he had no relationship with Wang Hanmin.
Bian Ze then pointed to a name on the list of personnel at Qingdao Station and reported to the Director: "Geng Ziping, the chief of confidential matters at Qingdao Station. This person worked in the same training department as Wang Hanmin in the Lixingshe in his early years. However, Geng Ziping is much younger than Wang Hanmin. I don't know whether the two have any personal relationship, but they definitely know each other."
Upon hearing this, the bureau chief nodded silently, without saying anything for the time being.
Gu Zhengqi pointed to another name on the Qingdao station list and said, "Xiao Guoyuan, the action team leader of Qingdao station. After Qingdao fell and Qingdao station was severely damaged by the Japanese invaders, the original action team leader sacrificed himself. When Qingdao station was reorganized, Xiao Guoyuan was transferred from Wuhan station to Qingdao station. He was Wang Hanmin's subordinate before. Because Wang Hanmin was the deputy station chief of Wuhan station at that time, he knew that Xiao Guoyuan was transferred to Qingdao station. I think this person is the most likely to become Wang Hanmin's breakthrough point."
Gu Zhengqi's words immediately invigorated everyone in the room, even the bureau chief straightened up.
Gu Zhengqi's words make a lot of sense. If the relationship between Geng Ziping and Wang Hanmin was uncertain before, it was not enough to make a judgment for the time being.
Therefore, Xiao Guoyuan's situation must be taken seriously, because Xiao Guoyuan was previously Wang Hanmin's subordinate, so Wang Hanmin must know something about him. At the same time, Wang Hanmin also knows that he is currently working at the Qingdao station and holds the important position of action team leader. If Wang Hanmin wants to find a breakthrough in this area, Xiao Guoyuan is the best candidate.
"Notify Qingdao Station immediately!" The bureau chief slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. The matter was of utmost importance, and he could not afford to take any chances.
"Immediately order Xiao Guoyuan and Geng Ziping to withdraw from Qingdao and assign special personnel to guard them until the Qingdao operation is over!"
The reason why the director excluded Fu Shengyuan, the stationmaster of Qingdao Station, is that Fu Shengyuan and Wang Hanmin really have no interaction. Besides, Qingdao Station can't do without Fu Shengyuan now.
Bian Ze quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes, I will send a telegram immediately ordering the two to evacuate!"
Zhao Ziliang, who was standing to the side, said, "Director, since these two people are at risk of being exposed, they can't stay in Qingdao. It would be safer to just withdraw them to headquarters."
Upon hearing this, the bureau chief thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright! Let them retreat directly to headquarters. To be on the safe side, send a few more people to escort them. But we can't be sure if they are colluding with Wang Hanmin. If the two of them make any unusual moves along the way, kill them immediately and leave no hidden dangers."
Hurry! Wang Hanmin will be flying to Qingdao tomorrow, and they must evacuate before he arrives!
"Yes!" Bian Ze accepted the order again, stepped forward to tidy up the list for Qingdao Station, and turned to leave quickly.
"That was close!" The director couldn't help but sigh softly, slowly sitting back in his chair, gently rubbing his temples with his fingers.
Gu Zhengqi agreed, and stepped forward, saying in a low voice, "Yes! If it weren't for the intelligence from the Shanghai Intelligence Section, we might have overlooked this, leading to extremely serious consequences."
"Director, Wang Hanmin has been trained in the Military Intelligence Bureau for many years, and he has countless friends and subordinates around him. He's truly impossible for us to guard against. We must eliminate him as soon as possible; otherwise, such incidents will continue to occur, and we cannot repeat the mistakes of the Nanjing Railway Station!"
