Ning Zhiheng's actions were not without reason. He had originally intended for Wang Shucheng to command the operation, but Huo Yueze was much older and had more experience in operations than Wang Shucheng. In addition, Huo Yueze was now a major, so it would be inappropriate for Wang Shucheng to take command. Therefore, he decided to hand over the on-site command to Huo Yueze this time. In any case, Huo Yueze would soon be transferred from the Fourth Operations Group, so it would not threaten Wang Shucheng's future acting duties.
Hearing that Ning Zhiheng had entrusted him with the command of this operation, Huo Yueze was overjoyed. He immediately said loudly, "Don't worry, team leader, I will definitely not let a single Japanese spy escape. I will bring them all back."
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said again, "Don't worry too much. There are plenty of Japanese spies in the interrogation department's prison now, so one or two more won't make a difference. Remember, for the safety of our brothers, whether they live or die, if they resist, shoot them on the spot."
"Yes!" Huo Yueze answered, standing at attention.
Seeing that all the personnel had been dispatched, Ning Zhiheng carefully explained the specific details to Tan Jinhui.
"Keep a natural expression, straighten your back, and try not to speak. If you must speak, keep it brief. Keep an eye on your watch and remember the time. Follow the prescribed route strictly. My men will be there to protect you. Remember, if the mission succeeds and we lure out the hidden spy, your life will be spared. So don't make any mistakes!"
"Yes, I will definitely not let the team leader down!" Tan Jinhui nodded repeatedly in agreement, unconsciously imitating Ning Zhiheng's subordinates by calling him team leader.
Half an hour later, Tan Jinhui walked out of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department on time and went straight to Hongyun Teahouse.
As soon as he entered the Hongyun Teahouse, a waiter came up to greet him warmly.
"Commander Ning, it's been quite a while since you've been here. Same as always, I'll take you to your private room, please wait a moment!" the waiter said repeatedly.
Tan Jinhui nodded slightly, without saying a word, and quickly went up to the private room on the second floor as Ning Zhiheng had instructed.
At that moment, in an inconspicuous seat at the very back of the hall, a young man's eyes lit up when he heard the waiter loudly address Commander Ning. He glanced at Tan Jinhui's face, estimated his height and build, and was secretly overjoyed. After waiting for so many days, his target had finally appeared. This person was none other than Kawaguchi Ryosuke, who had been waiting here all along.
Soon the waiter brought Ning Zhiheng's favorite breakfast to the private room. Tan Jinhui finished eating quickly and waited in the room, looking at his watch and quietly waiting for the time to pass.
Ning Zhiheng explained the operation to him very clearly: he might be safe and sound during the operation, but he might also be shot in the back and die. It all depended on his luck, but this was his only chance, and he had no choice!
Seeing that the time had come, Tan Jinhui walked out of the private room on time. He did not dare to look around, but quickly left Hongyun Teahouse.
Ryosuke Kawaguchi did not follow immediately, but waited a while before leaving the Red Rhyme Teahouse. He kept a good distance from Tan Jinhui, knowing that Ning Zhiheng was a master of espionage, so he naturally had to be careful. Everything seemed very natural.
Nearly twenty meters behind Tan Jinhui, Zhao Jiang and a teammate were also carefully observing the pedestrians around them, especially those coming out of Hongyun Teahouse. Their eyes lightly swept over Kawaguchi Ryosuke, but because of the distance, Zhao Jiang couldn't be sure if there was anything wrong.
But that's not important. As long as we keep a close eye on Tan Jinhui, our opponent will eventually reveal himself. That's when we'll make our move. Right now, all we need to do is not startle him.
Just a short distance from the Red Rhyme Teahouse, another figure silently followed. Kawaguchi Ryosuke knew that this was his companion who had seen him and followed immediately.
The two men exchanged a glance. Kawaguchi Ryosuke subtly gestured to his accomplice towards Tan Jinhui's back, then nodded casually. His accomplice's eyes lit up with joy. He hadn't recognized Tan Jinhui, but from Kawaguchi Ryosuke's hint, he understood that their target had appeared.
