Inside the room, Kageyama Yuuki was speaking quietly with Li Zhiqun. Kageyama Yuuki leaned back in his chair and asked, "You know everything?"
Li Zhiqun and Hasebe had already been informed of the situation on their way to the hospital. They were shocked by the news and broke out in a cold sweat. Only now have they managed to calm down.
Others were fine, but Wang Hanmin was his most capable assistant. Since surrendering, he had successively cracked down on major intelligence stations of the Military Intelligence Bureau, greatly damaging and destroying the Military Intelligence Bureau's behind-enemy-lines forces. It can be said that Li Zhiqun was like a tiger with wings after getting Wang Hanmin, and his achievements attracted attention from all sides. However, the good times did not last long. Just a few months later, Wang Hanmin had an accident.
Upon hearing Kagesa Hiroki's question, Li Zhiqun nodded and said, "Hase-kun has already informed me. I really didn't expect something like this to happen!"
"Yes! Nobody expected it!"
Kageyama Yuki also sighed softly, saying with great regret, "Especially Wang Hanmin, who just helped us break into the Qingdao station and thwarted the special operations team's operation, and the Military Intelligence Bureau retaliated in kind. I thought the Military Intelligence Bureau's power in Qingdao had been completely destroyed!"
"Do you think it was sabotage?" Li Zhiqun asked softly. He wasn't sure about it. Just as Yingzuo Yushu said, Fu Shengyuan had betrayed all the personnel at Qingdao Station, and the Special Operations Team had been wiped out. Even if the Military Intelligence Bureau wanted to send someone to assassinate Wang Hanmin again, there wouldn't be enough time to arrange it.
Kageyama Yuuki nodded and said, "Things can't be that coincidental. This isn't an ordinary plane crash. If you hadn't stayed, you would be in the same situation as Wang Hanmin and the others."
Li Zhiqun, still shaken, said, "Thank you so much, Chief of the Bureau, for saving my life. If you hadn't stopped me in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
After Su Jiaxiang was arrested, the reformed government tried to cover it up, but the disappearance of a confidential secretary was hard to hide. News of the incident had already leaked out. Kageyama Yuki knew that if he didn't act soon, he would miss the opportunity. So he decided to let Li Zhiqun take over Su Jiaxiang's case now, which is why Li Zhiqun's return to Shanghai was postponed. Unexpectedly, this accident saved Li Zhiqun's life.
"We are currently searching for the wreckage and survivors. We believe we will soon determine the cause of the crash."
But Su Jiaxiang's case can't wait any longer. This afternoon, you must take men and fly directly to Nanjing to arrest his supplier as soon as possible, and then bring him back to Shanghai. I'm worried that if we delay any longer, news of his arrest will reach Nanjing, and the supplier will escape!"
Li Zhiqun quickly nodded and accepted the order. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I only have a few people left at my disposal, which is a bit insufficient. I want to use the radio to notify the Shanghai headquarters to transfer a group of people to Nanjing to handle this case."
Kageyama Yuuki immediately waved his hand and said, "No, you know that there is a mole in the Shanghai intelligence department hidden in the special agent headquarters. This matter involves the Shanghai intelligence department. If the operation is leaked, it is easy for this mole to take advantage of the situation. It is better not to make too much of a fuss. As for manpower, I will transfer some people to assist you."
They all knew before that there was a mole in the Special Agent Headquarters. They originally thought that he had been eliminated in Luo Xingchao's screening operation. However, during this trip to Qingdao, Fu Shengyuan's personal confession and the leak of Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin's whereabouts proved that the mole was still hiding in the dark. Therefore, Yingzuo Yushu reminded Li Zhiqun to be careful.
“Yes, then I’ll leave this afternoon and fly directly to Nanjing!” Li Zhiqun agreed readily.
Kageyama Yuuki nodded, softened his tone, and continued, "There's one more thing. The Gao Tao incident in Hong Kong has caused quite a stir and had a significant international impact. It has made both of us, Mr. Wang, lose face. Wan Mulin, who helped Gao Tao and his companion escape from Shanghai, is still being held at your intelligence headquarters. How is that case progressing?"
Kagesa Hiroki's question made Li Zhiqun's heart skip a beat. He had been delaying the case of Wan Mulin because he was wary of Yue Sheng in Hong Kong and had also taken benefits from others. Now that the Japanese were starting to investigate, he certainly couldn't take the blame.
Thinking of this, a troubled expression appeared on his face, and he looked at Kagesa Yuuki with some hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Kagesa Hiroki asked, frowning.
Li Zhiqun organized his thoughts, then said with a somewhat helpless expression, "Chief, this case is really difficult for me. Although I arrested Wan Mulin, he is a veteran of the Green Gang, with a very high reputation and seniority within the gang, even above me. After I arrested Wan Mulin and interrogated him, many Green Gang members in the Special Agent Headquarters were dissatisfied. In China, this is called insubordination, which violates the gang's rules. This puts me in a very difficult position, so I had to temporarily shelve the case. Now that I'm handling Wan Mulin myself, I'm really torn. I was wondering if the Shadow Agency could take over this case..."
At this point, Li Zhiqun glanced cautiously at Yingzuo Yuki, afraid of upsetting him.
Upon hearing this, Yingzuo Yushu did not feel anything was wrong. He was always very tolerant of his subordinates and valued Li Zhiqun, so he naturally had no intention of blaming him. Moreover, what Li Zhiqun said was also true. Forcing him to take action against Wan Mulin would indeed have some impact on his future leadership of the Green Gang disciples in the Special Agent Headquarters.
Thinking of this, Kagesa Yuuki nodded and said gently, "Alright then, you're really not suited to handle this matter. Once we get back to Shanghai, transfer Wanmulin to the Kagesa Agency and let Haruki-kun handle it. You keep a close eye on Su Jiaxiang's line of communication and make sure it doesn't get lost!"
Li Zhiqun was overjoyed to hear that Yingzuo Yushu did not blame him. Wan Bailin was a hot potato in his hands. He was wary of Yue Sheng, but the Japanese did not have such concerns. Handing him over would make things easier for him. He had only promised not to torture Wan Bailin when he received the money, so he had not broken his promise.
