Chen Jiaping led An Ruwei out of the department store, followed closely by six bodyguards.
In a car not far away, Deng Zhihong, the team leader, was looking at Chen Jiaping and his group. He frowned and asked, "Does An Ruwei usually have time alone?"
Deng Zhihong was ordered to arrest An Ruwei, but he has been following her all this time without having a chance to make a move.
Because An Ruwei spent the whole day with Chen Jiaping, and since Chen Jiaping suffered a loss at the theater last time, he now travels with a large number of bodyguards, which makes it difficult for Deng Zhihong to make a move.
The team member responsible for monitoring An Ruwei replied, "Team leader, An Ruwei usually just goes to the theater and department store with two bodyguards, and gets her hair done every five days. As for Chen Jiaping's time with her, it's not fixed and hard to keep track of. It's rare to see a situation like today. Team leader, why don't we just take action?"
Deng Zhihong observed the surrounding environment, but finally shook his head and said, "It's too risky. The other side has a lot of people, and this is a busy area. We are not entirely confident that we can win a fight. Besides, Chen Jiaping's identity is not ordinary. If we hurt him, it will cause a big fuss and the Green Gang will get involved, which will be difficult for us to handle. We will also have a hard time getting away. Let's keep an eye on things and see if there is an opportunity."
While they waited patiently, Zuo Qiang's team successfully captured the three Japanese agents and brought them back.
After an hour of interrogation, they finally managed to get the other members of Kohei Uemura's undercover team to confess.
At 5 p.m., the team set off again, heading straight for No. 18 Fuxu Road, a detached compound. This was the main base of the Shangcun group and the residence of Shangcun Huangping.
These past two days, Kohei Uemura has been in a very good mood because his team successfully detected unusual activity by the Shanghai station agents, which directly led to the failure of the Shanghai station's attack on the printing base, a remarkable achievement.
For this, Taro Sagawa and Ryoko Kitaoka both highly praised Kohei Uemura and Yoko Chiba, and promised to apply for promotions soon.
At this moment, he was in the living room discussing with several other companions how to search for the whereabouts of Shanghai Station again, but he felt that the courtyard outside was unusually quiet, and the people he had arranged to stay in the courtyard outside had not made a sound for a long time.
He said to his companion, "Go and take a look."
The agent stood up, walked out of the room, and came into the courtyard. He saw that his two companions, who had been on duty in the courtyard, were lying on the ground, each with a dagger stuck in their chest.
He was immediately alarmed. Just as he was about to shout, a figure pounced out from his side, covered his mouth, and a dagger slashed deeply across his throat, splattering blood all over the ground.
"Ugh!" The Japanese agent struggled to make a sound, but soon fell silent.
Kohei Uemura was unusually alert. After waiting for a moment, he felt something was wrong, so he stood up, took out a pistol from his waist, and signaled his five companions to be on guard.
Seeing how vigilant Kohei Uemura was, everyone dared not be negligent and drew their pistols, heading towards the door.
He kicked open the door and rolled out, aiming his gun at the door, but found nothing.
The other agents rushed out and quickly discovered the bodies of their three comrades on the ground. They were all terrified; the enemy had already reached their doorstep without them even knowing.
"Enemy! Find cover!" Kohei Uemura shouted.
However, his warning came too late. Zuo Qiang and many other team members, who had already quietly infiltrated the area, simultaneously raised their guns and opened fire.
Just a few days ago, the intelligence department spent a lot of money to purchase a large number of Colt pistols from Phillips, the military attaché at the U.S. consulate and an arms dealer. These were the best quality pistols from World War II.
This pistol is highly accurate and powerful. Most importantly, it is versatile and can be matched with corresponding silencers, which is one of the reasons why Huo Yueze dared to take action during the day.
"Puff, puff, puff..." A series of muffled sounds rang out.
All five Japanese agents were shot multiple times, collapsed to the ground, and died on the spot.
When Kohei Uemura started to speak, he was given special treatment by the operatives. His arm, which was holding the gun, was shot repeatedly. Several operatives stepped forward, restrained him, stuffed a wad of cloth into his mouth, and tied him up.
"Let's retreat! Get out of here quickly!" Zuo Qiang ordered softly.
At six o'clock, Yali Hair Salon closed for the day. The cleaning lady responsible for cleaning walked out of the salon. Her residence wasn't far away; she had rented a small room nearby. But as soon as she turned a corner, someone gagged her and dragged her into a nearby alley. A sharp dagger was plunged directly into her waist. Intense pain shot through her, but she couldn't scream. Then, another dagger was plunged into her chest. Soon, her strength was rapidly draining away until the light in her eyes disappeared.
Now, only An Ruwei remained uncaptured in the entire undercover team. Under Deng Zhihong's surveillance, they went to see a movie before leisurely walking out of the theater.
Deng Zhihong, who had been following them closely, was losing patience. He knew that the other targets must have been captured or eliminated by now, but he was only delaying them. If he waited until they returned to their homes, it would be even more inconvenient for him to make his move.
"We can't wait any longer!" Deng Zhihong said coldly, about to order a forceful operation to arrest her. At that moment, the back door of the car opened, and an action team member whispered, "Team leader, news from the police station is that the body on Fuxu Road has been found. Time is running out. We can't let this woman hear the news, or she'll escape. The section chief has ordered that we don't arrest her, but assassinate her directly. We absolutely cannot let this woman escape!"
