After the matter was discussed, Li Zhiqun withdrew and, following Yingzuo Yushu's instructions, handled Su Jiaxiang's case.
That same afternoon, Yi Hua'an boarded a passenger ship bound for Shanghai and rushed back to the city.
Late the next night, Ning Zhiheng, who was anxiously waiting, received a telegram from Shanghai. Using his codebook, he spent half a day translating the long telegram and finally understood the reason behind it.
It turned out that only a portion of the agents from the Special Agent Headquarters who returned to Shanghai that day went back. Director Li Zhiqun left temporarily and did not take a plane to leave Qingdao. Wang Hanmin, Fu Shengyuan and his wife, and Xu Yongchang all took another plane, which crashed and caught fire before falling into the vast ocean.
These agents witnessed the scene from the air, and when they returned to the intelligence headquarters, Luo Xingchao, who was in charge of the work, quickly figured out what had happened.
When he first heard that Wang Hanmin's plane had crashed and fallen into the sea, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and almost danced for joy. This traitor, Wang Hanmin, who had tried every opportunity and painstaking effort to assassinate him but failed, had actually fallen into the sea on his own. This was simply wonderful news!
But when he finally learned that Xu Yongchang was also on the crashed plane, he immediately knew something was wrong. The plane crash was very likely related to Xu Yongchang, but why would Xu Yongchang act on his own initiative? After all, he hadn't given him any orders. Luo Xingchao's mind was filled with questions!
Unexpectedly, just an hour after these agents returned to the intelligence headquarters, Luo Xingchao received orders from the Shadow Agency to urgently detain the group of agents returning from Qingdao for further investigation.
Luo Xingchao naturally understood that this was the truth behind the plane crash suspected by the Shadow Agency, and that a rigorous investigation would be conducted to find the real assassin.
These changes alarmed Luo Xingchao, but he was unable to contact his superiors and could only wait and remain patient for the time being.
It wasn't until Yi Hua'an returned to Shanghai, contacted Luo Xingchao, and received his detailed report that he understood everything. In the middle of the night, he sent this telegram to Ning Zhiheng.
After quietly reading the telegram in his hand, Ning Zhiheng naturally understood the truth of the matter. It must have been that after Xu Yongchang arranged for the yellow phosphorus, an abnormal situation occurred at the scene, making it impossible for him to leave. That's why he boarded the plane with Wang Hanmin and others, ultimately leading to their mutual destruction with the enemy!
Ning Zhiheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, a wave of weakness washed over him, and a bitter taste filled his mouth. He couldn't help but slump against the back of his chair, and it took him a long time to let out a long sigh!
Xu Yongchang bravely faced death, sacrificing his own life to complete this mission of eliminating traitors. But I had clearly warned him to abandon the operation if anything went wrong, so how did this still happen in the end?
What a fool! What a pity for this good man who came from humble beginnings but was wholeheartedly loyal to his country!
Ning Zhiheng was filled with sorrow. He couldn't help but recall the scene when he sent Xu Yongchang back to his unit. That upright man refused his offer without hesitation, preferring to return to the army and the front line, just like his old commander Zhu Weihua, to fight the Japanese invaders openly and without regret!
Xu Yongchang reminded me of Zhu Weihua, the honest man who, before going to the battlefield, was thinking about preserving talent for the country, and who would rather die than burden his brothers!
There was also his brother Wang Shucheng, a young man who mistakenly joined the special operations team but yearned for a glorious military career and was willing to die for it!
Lu Ming, the pioneer who risked his life to find his former comrades-in-arms, and who passed away peacefully while reciting the oath of joining the Party!
Qi Jingwu, Wutong, ...
Scenes from his memories flashed through his mind, and familiar figures appeared one after another. He was immersed in them, unable to forget them. His eyes became misty and moist, and tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes!
After a long while, he suddenly realized what was happening and came to his senses. He went to the window, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, forced himself to control his emotions, and stared silently at the deep night.
