Ning Zhiheng's guess was correct. Just as he was safely evacuating, a critical moment was also approaching in the Mufengyuan Tavern.
In the private room, Watanabe Daichi raised his hand to look at his watch; it was already 7:30 p.m.
During this period, the tap water supply in the safe house was disrupted. Not only drinking water, but also sanitation water was cut off, which made the Japanese agents in the safe house complain bitterly. Therefore, they were willing to stay in the bar a little longer, otherwise they were afraid that they would not even be able to get hot water when they returned.
Watanabe Daichi was helpless in the face of his subordinates' complaints. Fortunately, the water problem would be solved tomorrow, and then he wouldn't have to stay outside. Although this was a relatively safe area, it was still safer to stay in the safe house.
Seeing that the time was up, he finally spoke up and said, "Alright, that's enough for today. We should be going!"
Upon hearing his words, the other agents also stood up. Watanabe Daichi took the lead, and the group walked out of the private room one after another. The two agents next door, along with Yan Kaiding and Xing Shengrong, also came out of the private room upon hearing the commotion.
They entered the hall, and the tavern owner, Kurihara, quickly came over with a smile, bowed, and said, "Watanabe-kun, I apologize for not being a good host today. Are you leaving now?"
Watanabe Daiji nodded and said in a deep voice, "Kurihara, we probably won't be coming tomorrow. I'll send someone over to settle the bill tomorrow."
Kurihara smiled and readily agreed.
At that moment, Watanabe Daiji did not notice that there were still quite a few guests in the hall, and with the addition of the twelve of them, the small hall was actually crowded with people.
Watanabe Daiji frowned, sensing something was amiss, and couldn't help but speak again, saying, "Your business is really good today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden gust of wind rushing towards him, and with a soft "poof," the sharp blade had already pierced his body.
At the same time, countless figures suddenly rushed towards the Japanese agents in the middle of the hall. The lights in the entire hall went out instantly, and in the blink of an eye, the scene changed dramatically.
All the attackers pounced on the Japanese agents, repeatedly stabbing their daggers into the agents' vital points. When the daggers were pulled out, blood gushed out, splattering onto the attackers' faces and bodies. But the attackers did not hesitate for a moment, stabbing their daggers in again!
The Japanese agents were completely unprepared for the sudden attack. The outermost agents, including Watanabe Daichi, were stabbed multiple times and screamed in agony. The agents inside barely managed to dodge the first wave of attacks. They quickly drew their guns and shouted for help.
However, earlier that afternoon, Sun Jiacheng and Ji Hongyi led their men in several drills to prepare for this situation, with each of them having their own assigned tasks.
As everyone continued their assassinations, their bodies were pressed together, immediately squeezing all the Japanese agents into a tight group. The crowd grew even larger as the operation began. Among the agents were some highly skilled and agile individuals, but unfortunately, caught off guard, they had no room to maneuver and were immediately squeezed together, making it difficult to draw their pistols.
But at this moment, the ambushers launched a second attack. They pulled down several Japanese agents outside who had already been riddled with holes by numerous short knives, and then a large number of attackers pounced on them. This time, the remaining agents inside could not escape their fate.
They had no chance to dodge; they were tightly surrounded like dumplings, bare-handed, desperately defending against countless short sword attacks coming from all directions. Almost instantly, they were pounced on by countless figures, blood spurting from their bodies and splashing everywhere.
The other attackers did not stop. They pounced on the targets who had lost the ability to resist, and kept slashing them with their short knives. One slash after another, several screams were heard, and soon there was no sound. The bodies that had fallen to the ground continued to twitch and struggle, and blood gushed from the wounds. In a short moment, the entire hall was transformed into a blood-and-fire hell.
Sun Jiacheng was the first to launch an attack. At that moment, his eyes were fixed on Yan Kaiding and Xing Shengrong, who were surrounded by Japanese agents in the middle.
Neither of them had any weapons, nor would the Japanese allow them to carry any, so even though they were the last to be stabbed, they had no chance to resist.
By this time, Xing Shengrong had already been stabbed to the ground by several short knives, while Yan Kaiding was slightly less injured and was able to support himself with half of his body without falling.
Sun Jiacheng strode up to Yan Kaiding, grabbed him by the collar, and prepared to stab him again with his short knife, ending his life.
"No, no, I have something to say, Yu Li~" Yan Kaiding had already collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from several wounds on his body. His eyes were filled with fear, and he made a low, hoarse plea.
Sun Jiacheng had already thrust out his short knife, but upon hearing the name "Yu Li," he suddenly stopped, the sharp tip of his knife pressed tightly against Yan Kaiding's chest.
"What happened to Yu Li?" Sun Jiacheng had been worried about the team leader's attempt to assassinate Yu Li, fearing that something might have happened to Ning Zhiheng. So when he heard about Yu Li's situation, his heart tightened and he quickly asked in a stern voice.
Yan Kai felt all his strength rapidly draining away. He struggled to say, "Yu Li, Yu Li is at Boli Hospital! Don't let him go! Don't let him go!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiacheng coldly said, "He won't live past today either, so I'll just send you all on your way!"
As he finished speaking, he was about to exert force when Yan Kaiding suddenly used the last bit of strength he had left to grab the short knife with both hands. He ignored the cuts his fingers made by the sharp blade, his eyes wide open, and said urgently, "We deserve to die! Qi Jingwu was feigning surrender. He assassinated Yu Li and then... he committed suicide!"
