As soon as the car stopped, the driver pulled out a Browning pistol, raised his hand and shattered the car window with one shot, then shot another, hitting one of the operatives who was rushing towards him.
"Get in quickly!" the driver shouted. Fu Yaozu pulled open the back door of the car, pushed the bodyguard who was already dead in front of him forward, turned around, and rushed into the back seat of the car.
Hong Shijie was also getting anxious at this moment. Everything was going smoothly as planned, and all the targets were hit immediately without any chance to fight back. But at the critical moment, the most inconspicuous driver ruined everything.
Not only did he injure one of his own team members, but he also rescued his main target, Fu Yaozu, and put him in the car. He then pulled the trigger repeatedly, completely knocking down the last bodyguard.
Zuo Gang, who had already killed Hasegawa Masaki, fired a series of shots, shattering the rear window of the car. One of the shots hit Fu Yaozu's calf, which was still sticking out of the car. Fu Yaozu screamed and shouted from the back seat, "Drive! Drive!"
But at that moment, Hong Shijie's gun was already pointed at the driver, and the driver's gun was also pointed at Hong Shijie. The two men were about to fight to the death through the broken car window when their eyes met, and they were both stunned!
Hong Shijie was surprised and hesitated for a moment. The driver did not pull the trigger, but stepped on the accelerator. The engine roared and the tires left deep tracks on the ground. The car sped away like a mad beast and rushed forward. All the team members watched the target escape and chased after it, firing continuously at the fleeing car. The gunshots were constant, but they could only watch helplessly as the other party quickly got away.
The entire assassination attempt lasted only a dozen seconds, but it was thrilling and fraught with danger. All the targets were eliminated, but the main target, Fu Yaozu, was not killed. A meticulously planned assassination attempt ended in failure!
Zuo Gang stared at Hong Shijie beside him with a livid face. He had seen the scene clearly. At the last moment, Hong Shijie had a chance to kill the driver, but he didn't fire, causing the entire operation to fail and allowing the main target, Fu Yaozu, to escape the scene. This was a serious mistake.
By this time, the streets were completely deserted. Pedestrians had already scattered and fled when the first shot was fired, and now the area was empty and there was not a single person around.
Seeing that the car had already disappeared without a trace, Zuo Gang didn't say anything more, hoping that the other team members could intercept the car in time and continue to assassinate the target.
One of his own team members had been shot by the driver and needed immediate medical attention. He immediately ordered, "Check the target!"
Upon hearing the order, the other team members quickly checked the scene, confirmed that all the targets of the shooting were dead, and then evacuated the scene with the wounded.
An hour later, at the Tan mansion, Ning Zhiheng looked at Huo Yueze and Sun Jiacheng standing in front of him with a gloomy expression, his eyes narrowed and shooting out a cold gaze.
Where is Fu Yaozu now?
“At St. John’s Hospital, his driver reacted quickly and immediately changed direction, heading towards the nearby St. John’s Hospital. My second action team couldn’t stop him; he drove straight to the entrance of St. John’s Hospital. By the time our car arrived, Fu Yaozu had already been taken to the hospital. There were too many people there, and it was a French-run hospital. I was afraid of accidentally harming innocent people, so I abandoned the assassination operation,” Sun Jiacheng quickly replied.
He bears the greatest responsibility for the failure of this operation. No one expected that ten well-trained and skilled agents, who were caught off guard, would allow the main target to escape and leave one member of the operation seriously injured.
"How is Qiu Ming now?"
"He was shot in the lower abdomen and has been taken to our own medical station. Dr. Li is performing surgery on him, and we don't know the specific situation yet!" Huo Yueze replied nervously.
Because the team members had gunshot wounds, sending them to other hospitals would risk exposing their identities. However, the intelligence station was well-funded and had set up a hidden medical room from the beginning, which was fully equipped and had plenty of medicine. In the end, Ning Zhiheng even personally visited the station to ask Li Wenbai to be the station's dedicated doctor so that if any emergency occurred and any members of the intelligence station were injured, they could be treated quickly.
Li Wenbai is a skilled doctor and a reliable person, so Ning Zhiheng trusts him. This time, when team member Qiu Ming was seriously injured, he was immediately sent to the medical station for surgery.
"Didn't you always pride yourselves on being highly trained elites? You ambushed a cotton merchant and a few bodyguards with superior numbers, yet you let him escape right under your noses!" Ning Zhiheng's voice was as cold as ice. "Did you just blow up the Fukuoka warehouse and receive commendation from headquarters? Did you all start thinking you were invincible, with your tails wagging in the air?"
Ning Zhiheng usually commands great respect, and his subordinates are all his old subordinates who know his temperament and character well. They are the most meticulous and careful. This is the first time such a big mistake has happened under Ning Zhiheng.
“I think you’ve been too successful in your campaigns, and you’ve become arrogant and complacent! Sun Jiacheng, you are the action team leader, and the main responsibility this time lies with you. What do you have to say?” Ning Zhiheng stared at Sun Jiacheng and asked coldly.
Sun Jiacheng was Ning Zhiheng's most trusted confidant and someone Ning Zhiheng always valued and trusted. Ning Zhiheng rarely reprimanded him in such a stern tone.
This mistake infuriated Ning Zhiheng. A group of well-trained agents making such a blunder when dealing with a Shanghai businessman showed that his team had problems with both their work ability and attitude. It was laughable that he had always thought that with this team, he could make a name for himself in Shanghai and establish his own base.
