Upon hearing Luo Xingchao's words, Chu Wenkang's eyes revealed a hint of worry. These people had already surrendered, but they had not been released. Instead, they had been imprisoned here by the Japanese for so long, so naturally they were uncertain about their future!
"We've already surrendered, why would they attack us? What are these Japanese thinking?" Chu Wenkang asked with deep concern.
Bi Wenxiang, who was squatting to the side, sneered, snapped a blade of grass in his hand in half, and said in a harsh voice, "What else could they be thinking? They just don't trust us, right? Lock them up and let them see how good they are. We've used these methods before, but this time we've become the prisoners ourselves!"
They were all experienced agents who had arrested many criminals at the Shanghai military intelligence station and were familiar with these interrogation techniques.
“We’ve written confessions, taken photos, and provided intelligence, yet they still don’t believe us?” Chu Wenkang asked helplessly.
"They're afraid that Qi Jingwu is among us!" Cui Yuanfeng said angrily.
“Yes, that must be it. Didn’t you see that Cui Guangqi even takes his cronies with him when he goes to the toilet? He’s afraid of being ambushed. Damn it, so many brothers have died at his hands. We’ll settle this score with him sooner or later!” Bi Wenxiang continued.
"Keep your voice down. He's a favorite of the Japanese now, and he's still our superior. He could kill us in an instant. If we want to live, we have to endure it!" Luo Xingchao scolded in a low voice.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, quietly standing in the corner, watching from afar the few people sitting on the stone bench opposite them.
This group consisted of about seven or eight people, and the leader was Cui Guangqi, the former action captain of the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station, who was also the traitor who brought great disaster to the intelligence station this time.
As the action team leader, he had many former confidants. After the arrest, he personally lured these confidants to surrender, so the group around him was the largest, and they were all the core members of the original action team.
At this moment, a Japanese officer glanced at his watch and strode over. When Cui Guangqi saw the Japanese officer approaching, he quickly stood up.
"Mr. Cui, your rest time is over. Please take them all back!" the Japanese officer said.
"Yes!" Cui Guangqi immediately bowed and replied.
The Japanese managed these spies very strictly in order to temper their temperaments and smooth out their rough edges, so that they could be used in the future.
Under Cui Guangqi's loud command, all the agents assembled on the parade ground. Their time for exercise was over, and they were to be locked back in their rooms.
"Everyone, go back and rest. Don't overthink things. At this point, being alive is a miracle!" Cui Guangqi said loudly from the front of the line.
Looking at the familiar faces before him, all of whom were once his respected and trusted subordinates, Cui Guangqi knew all too well that their eyes were now filled with undisguised hatred and suspicion. These people probably wanted to devour his heart.
They were simply unwilling to part with their physical bodies and could not bear the great fear between life and death, which is why they humbled themselves to serve the enemy and became traitors.
There was no way around it; I was in the same boat. I had also wanted to take my own life, but with the gun pointed at my temple, I just couldn't pull the trigger. The outcome was predictable.
Cui Guangqi has been having nightmares every night lately, dreaming of the teammates he betrayed and who sacrificed their lives, dreaming of being strangled to death by his own teammates, dreaming of…
These days were pure torture, but he still had to live on, even if it meant living a life of ignominy. He carefully obeyed the Japanese orders and was always on guard against those around him, fearing that they might be assassinated. He hoped that once he could get through these days and everyone's minds became numb with the experience, he could finally feel a little more at ease.
The team disbanded, and Luo Xingchao returned to his room with a few men. Lying on his bed, he kept thinking. He had been observing Cui Guangqi's actions all this time. This heinous traitor had to be eliminated. Now they were locked up in this compound, isolated from the outside world. The assassination squad sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau would definitely not be able to get close. It seemed that he had no choice but to take action himself!
He had already gained the enemy's trust and could infiltrate their ranks to become a spy. But was it really worth sacrificing his life just to eliminate traitors? He couldn't help but hesitate again!
Three days later, Ning Zhiheng had just arrived at work when he saw Yi Huaan waiting for him at the door.
Since the establishment of the Fujiwara Company's commercial radio station, Yi Hua'an has never returned to live in the villa.
He was also a seasoned agent who had received training in sending telegrams, so he kept watch over the radio station. He had set up a room next to the company's communications room and would receive or send telegrams every night at the agreed time to ensure timely communication with all parties.
Ning Zhiheng saw that Yi Huaan was waiting at the door early in the morning, and he knew that Yi Huaan must have something to report.
The two entered the office, and Ning Zhiheng asked, "What's the matter?"
Yi Hua'an quickly stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "The telegram was sent from the Tan residence last night. I translated it and burned it."
A telegram from the Tan Mansion? I've just arrived in the city; what could have happened at the Tan Mansion?
"Contents?" Ning Zhiheng asked in a deep voice.
"We need you to return to the concession as soon as possible. Wang Hanmin has arrived in Shanghai and, through our emergency contact point, requests to meet with you immediately. It's very urgent!"
Wang Hanmin is here. This guy is so slow and took so long to get to Shanghai, and now he's in such a hurry to meet me? Could something have gone wrong?
