Upon hearing the director's order, all the agents quickly obeyed and ran out to search for Pei Tai's whereabouts.
Only Cui Guangqi remained in the office, leaning back in his chair. After a long while, he finally raised his head and looked at the lifeless body of Deng Yuankai on the ground.
In fact, Cui Guangqi had already realized something was wrong when Deng Yuankai said that Pei Tai was drinking outside and dared not come back!
Just as I put away Pei Tai's wine flask, Pei Tai went to find Deng Yuankai to inform him about the operation that night. Deng Yuankai himself doesn't drink, and there's no wine in his office. Pei Tai's wine flask is in his drawer. Where did he find wine to drink in such a short time?
Furthermore, although Pei Tai is fond of wine, he always carries out his orders without fail. I warned him that there would be an operation tonight and he absolutely could not drink any alcohol, and he definitely did not drink. Over the years, he has never disobeyed my orders.
As soon as Cui Guangqi became suspicious, he immediately noticed that Deng Yuankai was standing too close, less than three meters away, and right to his left. People are generally more sensitive to their right side, so this position was very disadvantageous to him. This was the standard ambush position during special agent training.
Cui Guangqi was already like a frightened bird, always on guard against everyone. As soon as he discovered Deng Yuankai's suspicious points, he became wary. His hidden right hand subtly lowered, and he had already taken out the short gun that was concealed under the chair. He was an expert with guns, and he not only carried one gun, but also placed them on his desk and chair, just in case someone ambushed him and he didn't have time to draw his gun. Now it had indeed come in handy.
He then deliberately sent Deng Yuankai to find Pei Tai, but his eyes were on Deng Yuankai's back, watching his every move closely. He was an expert with guns, and when he saw Deng Yuankai's clothes twitch, he knew that Deng Yuankai was in trouble.
He drew his gun quickly and was well-prepared. Just as Deng Yuankai turned to attack, he struck first and hit Deng Yuankai, deciding his fate in an instant.
Despite Deng Yuankai's painstakingly planned assassination operation, which lasted for many days, he ultimately failed. At the last moment, he revealed a flaw and was preempted by Cui Guangqi, who sacrificed his life for his country. It can be said that he died before achieving his goal, which often brings tears to the eyes of heroes!
At this moment, Cui Guangqi felt an indescribable fear. Since his betrayal, his former subordinates had hated him to the bone and he had always been wary of them. But now, even his only trusted confidants wanted to get rid of him. Who could he trust anymore?
He sat in the empty room, feeling a loneliness and fear he had never experienced before. In the silent night, it was as if countless dark ghosts surrounded him, ready to devour him at any moment. Cui Guangqi couldn't help but curl up, covering his head with his hands.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Cui Guangqi was startled awake, Browning pistol in hand, watching the entering agent warily.
The agent looked at Cui Guangqi with trepidation and reported in a trembling voice, "Chief, we broke into Captain Deng's office and found Captain Pei's body. He was strangled!"
Pei Tai went to find Deng Yuankai but never returned. Deng Yuankai then came alone to assassinate him. Cui Guangqi knew that Pei Tai was probably in grave danger. Although Cui Guangqi was already mentally prepared, when he actually heard the news, it was like a giant hammer had struck him hard in the chest, causing him unspeakable pain!
Pei Tai was his most trusted confidant, who had followed him for many years and always regarded him as an elder brother. Even after he betrayed him to the Japanese, Pei Tai still followed him wholeheartedly and never wavered. But now he is gone too!
Cui Guangqi stood up and went out of the office first. He then walked quickly to Deng Yuankai's office door, where the lock had been pried open and the door was wide open.
Cui Guangqi walked without stopping and entered the office, where he saw a corpse lying diagonally on the sofa. It was his brother, Pei Tai.
Cui Guangqi stepped forward and touched the deep bloodstain on Pei Tai's neck. This was Deng Yuankai's doing. He knew that Deng Yuankai had a steel wire hidden in his wrist, which was one of Deng Yuankai's trump cards. But who could have predicted that his last target would be Pei Tai!
