Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "You can't catch a hungry wolf without risking your cub; it's time to use the 'hunter'."
At this point, he instructed Jin Guoyuan, "Don't you still have some potassium cyanide? Bring it to me!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Guoyuan couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Bring them all over! That's a considerable amount; enough to poison a whole group of people!"
"Bring them all over here. This is a one-off deal, it'd be a shame not to use them!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Guoyuan said no more, turned and left. A short while later, he returned, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and handed it to Shang Zhenyun.
"These were brought from headquarters back then, and that's all I have. You can have them all!"
Shang Zhenyun took the small bottle, examined it closely, and saw the word "USA" on the outside. He nodded and said, "It's still American-made. This is enough. More won't help. Okay, I'll go out for a bit."
After saying this, he carefully put the small bottle away, got up, and left the house.
It was pitch black outside. Shang Zhenyun walked through the shadows with practiced ease. He was cautious and kept an eye on his surroundings, even in the dark. The political environment in Nanjing was extremely harsh, so he had to be extra careful.
After walking for quite some time and crossing several blocks, he turned around and looked left and right to make sure no one was following him before arriving at the door of a house and knocking on the door with a rhythm that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Soon, the door opened, and a middle-aged man peeked out. Upon seeing that it was Shang Zhenyun, he quickly stepped aside to let Shang Zhenyun in.
He then leaned out, looked around, and then turned and went back into the house. He closed and locked the door behind him, looking very nervous. He asked Shang Zhenyun in a low voice, "Why did you come here so directly? What happened?"
Shang Zhenyun did not answer, but quietly walked into the living room and turned to look at the bedroom.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man said in a low voice, "The child is asleep, but my wife is still awake!"
"Then let's talk in the study!" Shang Zhenyun nodded and said.
The man nodded in agreement, went to the bedroom door, gently pushed it open, whispered a comforting word to his wife inside, and then followed Shang Zhenyun into the study, closing the door behind him.
Shang Zhenyun went straight to his seat, plopped down, looked at the middle-aged man, waited for him to settle in, and after a moment of silence, said, "I have a very important mission, and I must wake you up."
The middle-aged man was taken aback. He had only met Shang Zhenyun twice, when Shang Zhenyun had just taken office as the stationmaster of Nanjing Station and taken over his leadership duties. However, the way they met back then was never this direct. They would send out a signal in advance and then meet at a pre-arranged location.
But now Shang Zhenyun has violated intelligence discipline by coming to meet him late at night, which is highly unusual. He had already guessed that something very urgent must have happened. Hearing Shang Zhenyun say this, he didn't show any surprise. He nodded and calmly said, "Understood. Go ahead and assign the task!"
This middle-aged man was none other than "Hunter," a senior intelligence agent at the Nanjing station and an intelligence agent under Shang Zhenyun's direct command. His cover identity was Zhan Yuanliang, a clerk at the Japanese Consulate General in Nanjing. At the Nanjing station, only Shang Zhenyun knew his cover identity.
"You should know about the Japanese delegation's visit to Nanjing, right?" Shang Zhenyun asked.
So that's what it was about. Zhan Yuanliang's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded in reply, "I know. They just arrived from Shanghai tonight. I saw them at the consulate two hours ago. It was a delegation led by Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Hidetoshi Shimizu. Several key members were members of the House of Peers, and one of them was Fujiwara Tomohito, the chairman of the Fujiwara Company. They were all high-ranking Japanese officials with prominent positions. All the big names in Nanjing went to greet them, making quite a fuss!"
"Your mission is to assassinate these key members!"
"What?" Zhan Yuanliang couldn't help but exclaim!
