"Yes, I'll take it with me today!"
Previously, Li Zhiqun had been hesitant to bring Feng Sinian back to the Special Agent Headquarters, fearing that the mole would discover it. Now that he had no more worries, Li Zhiqun immediately nodded in agreement.
Qingqing Zhengliang then asked, "Li Jun, how is your work on the intelligence market going?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiqun said with some helplessness, "Things are not as simple as we thought. Phillips has a special identity and goes to heavily guarded departments, such as consulates, military camps, or the Municipal Council. Our spies can't get close to him at all, so we can't conduct further tracking and surveillance. This work will take some time."
Qingqing Zhengliang knew things wouldn't be that easy, so he said, "Mr. Li, I'm not rushing you, but General Yingzuo and Mr. Wang are already in Nanjing preparing for the grand ceremony of returning the capital, which will be at the end of this month. As the new Minister of Police, you should also go to Nanjing as soon as possible to make preparations. You need to arrange your work well. Of course, you shouldn't be too impatient. Haste makes waste. We need to be rigorous in our intelligence work. In short, you need to keep this in mind."
Li Zhiqun nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I will handle my affairs properly and head to Nanjing as soon as possible."
After leaving Qing Qingzhengliang's office, Li Zhiqun took Feng Sinian out of the cell and rushed back to the Special Agent Headquarters for detention.
The message that Luo Xingchao sent out also reached Ning Zhiheng in a very short time.
After listening to Yi Hua'an's report, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Zuo Gang had already confirmed that Pastor Luo Jiana of Jingyuan Church had been arrested, so Ning Zhiheng already knew the general situation.
Previously, due to the unclear situation, he dared not easily risk rescuing Luo Jiana. Now that the situation had been verified, but Luo Jiana had already been arrested, he instructed Yi Hua'an: "Send a telegram to headquarters immediately, informing them of Luo Jiana's arrest and asking them to notify the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to take countermeasures. That's all we can do!"
Yi Hua'an nodded, then asked, "What should we do with Hu Yunhe?"
"Is there even a question? Deal with it as soon as possible! I've said it before, what bottom line could someone like this have? He even betrayed his former superiors. Such a traitor and collaborator deserves to be punished by everyone!"
"Yes!" Yi Hua'an accepted the order and left.
At the Shanghai Special Agent Headquarters, Luo Xingchao was in his office, leaning back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed as he rested. The framing plan had finally been successfully completed, despite a significant mishap along the way—misjudging Hu Yunhe's identity, which had left Li Zhiqun with lingering doubts. Fortunately, the last half-note of Chinese currency played a decisive role, completely sealing Hu Yunhe's identity as an inside man; otherwise, there might have been further complications.
Actually, he had always had doubts in his heart. His superiors had never explained things clearly to him. What exactly was the deal with that half of the legal tender?
It should be noted that he kept this half of the legal tender for a long time. Later, after learning of Xu Yongchang's sacrifice, he handed the legal tender over to his superior, who then passed it on to Director Ning Zhiheng. According to the timeline, quite some time had passed, but it was ultimately used in this operation.
This operation was indeed extremely meticulous, with every step carefully considered, and corresponding preparatory and remedial measures were arranged. The details were handled with unparalleled precision, making it an operation of an exceptionally high standard in intelligence work.
From the style and details of the action plan, Luo Xingchao clearly felt a sense of familiarity. He could almost conclude that the architect of this frame-up operation and the architect of the previous Shanghai turmoil were exactly the same in their methods. They were both very good at understanding people's hearts and had perfect control over the rhythm. As the main implementer of both operations, Luo Xingchao personally participated in them and felt this very deeply.
The previous major upheaval was personally designed and directly commanded by Director Ning Zhiheng. So what about this time? With the appearance of this half-note, Luo Xingchao couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed. Could it be that the director hadn't left Shanghai at all and was still lingering in this dangerous place?
He naturally dared not ask his superior about such matters, and could only speculate in his mind.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Cui Yuanfeng pushed the door open and walked up to Luo Xingchao, reporting in a low voice, "Mi Zijin from the Second Division has brought back that Pastor Luo and is currently interrogating him."
Mi Zijin, the head of the intelligence section of the Second Bureau, was responsible for monitoring Luo Jiana. After receiving Li Zhiqun's order, he immediately arrested Luo Jiana and brought him back to the Special Agent Headquarters for interrogation.
Luo Xingchao shook his head and sighed, "I hope he can hold on for a little longer, giving his superiors time to withdraw."
Cui Yuanfeng said with a wry smile, "That's not easy. Based on our past experience, once a Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) agent is arrested, almost none of them can hold out for long. We can only let them have good luck."
Just then, Luo Xingchao glanced around and saw through the window glass beside him that several cars were driving in at the gate of the Special Agent Headquarters. This was Li Zhiqun's convoy.
"Li Zhiqun has returned from the Shadow Agency. He will definitely go to the interrogation room and interrogate Luo Jiana personally. Tell your men to keep a close eye on things and report to me immediately if anything happens!"
"Yes!" Cui Yuanfeng accepted the order and left.
