After much deliberation, Ning Zhiheng finally decided to appoint Xu Yongchang to deal with Wang Hanmin and Fu Shengyuan. These two men posed too great a threat to the Military Intelligence Bureau and had to be eliminated, even at a certain cost.
Since Ning Zhiheng and Xu Yongchang knew each other, there was no need for the half banknote as a token to contact Xu Yongchang; he could simply show up. However, doing so would be too dangerous for Ning Zhiheng, but he couldn't worry about that now.
He had his own bodyguards, so it was inconvenient for him to come out alone. He finally found an opportunity to come out today, but after waiting outside the Yunlai Hotel for a long time, Xu Yongchang did not come out. In the end, he had to ask a waiter to invite Xu Yongchang out, and that's how they made contact.
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Xu Yongchang was overjoyed: "Great! I can get close to Wang Hanmin and assassinate him without any problem!"
Ning Zhiheng shook his head and said to Xu Yongchang, "Wang Hanmin must be eliminated, but this time your primary target is Fu Shengyuan. Like Wang Hanmin, he is a veteran agent with extensive experience in the Military Intelligence Bureau, and he poses a significant threat, especially to our Beiping and Tianjin stations. If we allow him to defect to the enemy, the situation will become uncontrollable. Headquarters has instructed us to eliminate him at all costs!"
"Fu Shengyuan? I understand!" Xu Yongchang nodded heavily. The headquarters was taking Fu Shengyuan so seriously. No wonder they sent the top operative of the Military Intelligence Bureau. They were determined to get him!
Xu Yongchang thought for a moment, then continued, "However, Fu Shengyuan's injuries are very serious. He has been recuperating at the Special Higher Police for the past few days, so I won't be able to see him for the time being. I will find a suitable opportunity to make my move and try to eliminate both of them at the same time!"
Ning Zhiheng frowned, tapped the weapon with his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't tell you to assassinate him directly. If you do that, do you still have any hope of survival?"
Xu Yongchang was taken aback. He quickly straightened up and said again, "Chief, I am not afraid to die! I have the confidence and certainty to complete this mission!"
Ning Zhiheng's expression turned cold, and his tone became stern: "Foolish! I don't need you to be my suicide squad!"
At this point, Ning Zhiheng realized that his tone had been a bit harsh. He sighed softly and said slowly, "Working behind enemy lines is not something that can be done with a moment of bravado. We need to use our brains. If there is no opportunity, we create one; if there is no way, we find a solution. We must solve problems at the lowest possible cost. Your ability to infiltrate the Special Agent Headquarters is a very rare opportunity. I have high expectations for you. You cannot just throw your life away after carrying out one mission. I, Ning, am not that short-sighted!"
Ning Zhiheng's words warmed Xu Yongchang's heart. If given a choice, who would willingly face death? As a superior, Ning Zhiheng's concern for the lives of his subordinates was extremely rare in this era!
Hearing that Ning Zhiheng had high expectations for him, Xu Yongchang was even more grateful. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Director. I understand. However, Fu Shengyuan and Wang Hanmin always have people around them. They don't trust me yet, so I rarely have the opportunity to be alone with them. I really can't think of any good way to do this except to assassinate them when they are not paying attention!"
Ning Zhiheng was aware of this as well. His purpose in meeting Xu Yongchang this time was to understand some specific details and design an action plan based on them.
He then asked, "If we can't contact Fu Shengyuan now, what about Wang Hanmin's whereabouts?"
Xu Yongchang shook his head and said, "Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin stayed in the Special Higher Police Section for the past two days to interrogate the arrested Qingdao Station personnel, dozens of people. The two of them worked almost day and night and rarely came back to rest. I only saw them once last night, and I haven't seen them since. I don't know where they went. Their subordinates have also been left to their own devices."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng quickly asked, "Oh! Do you know anything about the interrogation?"
Xu Yongchang replied, "All the personnel at the Qingdao station have been turned by Fu Shengyuan. They will join the Shanghai Special Agent Headquarters. This morning, they boarded a Japanese naval warship and returned to Shanghai. We will stay here and wait for Fu Shengyuan to recover from his injuries before returning to Shanghai together."
"They're already back in Shanghai, so fast!" Ning Zhiheng was somewhat surprised, but fortunately, the main target hadn't left yet, so there should still be time to make a move.
Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know when you'll be returning?"
"According to Li Zhiqun, it's the morning after tomorrow!"
"Also traveling by warship?"
Xu Yongchang shook his head and said, "No, we've arranged two special planes to fly directly back to Shanghai!"
Currently, the most convenient way to travel between Qingdao and Shanghai is by air, which takes only about two hours and is quick and easy.
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng's eyes lit up, and a thought flashed through his mind.
If we were to use a passenger plane to return to Shanghai, we could certainly devise a plan to see if we could tamper with it. After all, current aircraft technology is not mature and there are significant safety risks. Sometimes, even the slightest oversight can lead to a crash and loss of life. This would save us a lot of trouble.
Japanese passenger planes have limited carrying capacity. Currently, each passenger plane used in Japan can only carry about 20 people. Therefore, to transport Fu Shengyuan and his wife, as well as the personnel from the Special Agent Headquarters, the Japanese need to deploy two passenger planes.
Ning Zhiheng then asked, "Did you also come by passenger plane?"
"Yes, we came by two passenger planes because of the time constraints."
"You were on the same passenger plane as Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin?"
"No, Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin were on one plane, along with several of Li Zhiqun's confidants. The rest of us were on another plane. However, I can't be sure about the return trip; we'll have to see what the arrangements are at the time!"
