The solid evidence of Fu Yaozu's treason and defection to the enemy is in Huo Yueze's hands, but the recording cannot be made public, otherwise his Qingdong Restaurant would be exposed.
Huo Yueze's next task is to begin planning the assassination. The station chief has been urging him to act as soon as possible and not to delay any longer!
Throughout his career, Ning Zhiheng's opponents have all been ruthless figures in this chaotic world: high-ranking government officials who held power for a time, military intelligence officers who had been lurking for years, Japanese spy chiefs hiding deep within, and even the unbridled Central Party Affairs Investigation Bureau. In the end, they all fell by the wayside in front of him.
Even Wenren, the head of the Green Gang, whose every stomp of his foot could make the entire Shanghai tremble, was someone Ning Zhiheng would have considered taking action against if it weren't for the fact that he had the backing of the Director.
Fu Yaozu was a prominent figure in Shanghai's business world, a well-known tycoon, but in Station Chief Ning's eyes, he was not a big deal. His life and death were just a matter of his mind, and he did not want to invest too much energy in him. After all, his real target was the Japanese.
The intelligence team leader, Nian Zhe, knocked on the door and entered. He quickly approached Huo Yueze and reported, "Chief, we've discovered that the car entered the International Settlement from the Baidu Bridge. We estimate it will soon enter the French Concession!"
Huo Yueze's eyes lit up. He threw the newspaper on the table and asked again, "Does the license plate number match?"
“No mistake, we remember this license plate very clearly. We lost track of it at the same bridge last time, and it entered the concession at the same bridge this time. Our men are already following behind, watching its every move!” Nian Zhe answered confidently.
The last time they tracked a Japanese vehicle, they lost track of it, but they clearly remembered the license plate number. For the past two days, his intelligence team has been stationed at various bridgeheads on the south bank of the Suzhou Creek, specifically watching passing vehicles. As soon as they discover that a vehicle has entered the concession, they will immediately report it to the intelligence chief, Huo Yueze.
Huo Yueze nodded, then turned to Sun Jiacheng beside him and said, "Old Sun, how are your action team's preparations going?"
Sun Jiacheng smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "The action team is ready to go at any time. As long as your intelligence is accurate, I can give the order to take action immediately!"
Then, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "What's the situation with Fu Yaozu?"
Huo Yueze said with a smile, "Fu Yaozu's family has ten bodyguards, and four bodyguards protect him when he goes out. We've inquired about these people, and they're just ordinary people from the martial arts world. They all carry guns, so their defenses are ineffective. The station chief's idea is to make an example of them. The scene can't be small. When you make your move, don't hold back and eliminate them all!"
Ning Zhiheng's previous statement was very clear: the purpose of eliminating Fu Yaozu was to warn others that he should assassinate this person in public.
Sun Jiacheng naturally understood the station chief's meaning and nodded in agreement, saying, "Then let's do it that way. Consider them unlucky to have followed the wrong master!"
His tone was calm, and he didn't seem to care about dealing with a businessman. His team members were all excellent marksmen and skilled fighters.
The intelligence station's agents were originally composed of elites selected from the military, who received rigorous training from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and were all outstanding in their operational capabilities. These sixty action team members were also the best of the best, and their combat capabilities were far superior to those of the Jianghu people. Sending two action teams was already giving Fu Yaozu too much credit; it was absolutely foolproof!
Just then, the phone rang. Huo Yueze picked it up, listened for a moment, put it back, and said, "Fu Yaozu's car has also left the house. He's probably going to meet up with the Japanese. Let's prepare to move in!"
Fu Yaozu was in a very bad mood today. These days, there has been a great uproar in the outside world, but he has managed to deal with it properly and can hold on for the time being. As long as he can get through this period of time, when everyone loses interest in the rumors, the storm will naturally subside.
But the Japanese urging him on made him anxious. These Japanese only cared about getting supplies and didn't care about his reputation. They might even try to sabotage him and cut off his escape route, making him their henchman!
Today, Japanese representative Masaki Hase directly requested another meeting, which annoyed Fu Yaozu. At this critical juncture, how could he dare to have close contact with the Japanese again? However, the Japanese were firm in their stance and used both threats and inducements, leaving him no choice but to agree to the meeting.
Fu Yaozu and his bodyguards arrived at a Western restaurant in the southern part of the French Concession in two cars. Fu Yaozu and his two bodyguards went inside.
Soon after, the car of Japanese representative Masaki Hase arrived. Hase entered the Western restaurant with only one attendant.
At this moment, a team of operatives from the intelligence station had already arrived quickly. Zuo Gang looked at the entrance of the Western restaurant and ordered, "As soon as they come out, move closer, each select your own target, and attack at the same time!"
"Captain, what if they leave separately? Should we make the first move?" Hong Shijie, the leader of the action team, asked.
This situation is quite normal. If the Japanese and Fu Yaozu acted carefully enough, they would likely have one person leave first, and the other person would wait a few minutes before leaving.
Zuo Gang earnestly instructed, "If the Japanese and Fu Yaozu appear at the same time, take them out together. If they leave separately, let the first one go. The captain has already made arrangements and prepared a group of team members to wait for them. Remember, our target is the last person to appear."
"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement and went off to make their own arrangements.
More than an hour passed. Fu Yaozu and Hasegawa Masaki had a long private talk in the private room. After several rounds of bargaining, they finally reached a consensus and ended the negotiation. The two raised their glasses to make a promise before getting up to leave.
