Just as Tsuchihara Keiji and Sagawa Taro were cursing incessantly, Ning Zhiheng also received news of the operation's success from Yi Huaan.
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling extremely happy. The mission that the Military Intelligence Bureau had been worried about for a long time, and that Duan Tiecheng, Wang Hanmin and his ilk had racked their brains and made huge sacrifices to complete, was finally solved by him without firing a single shot.
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, a satisfied smile on his lips, and said, "This task took more than three months, but it was finally completed under my supervision. I wonder what the Director thinks when he finds out?"
Knowing that Ning Zhiheng was in a good mood, Yi Hua'an joked, "I'm afraid he's half happy and half angry. Wang Hanmin is having a hard time! Haha!"
Ning Zhiheng sighed with emotion, "An incompetent general can cause the deaths of thousands of soldiers. Duan Tiecheng and his ilk are incompetent and muddleheaded. It's a pity that those hundred warriors lost their lives. When Duan Tiecheng returned to headquarters, he was thrown into prison. Wang Hanmin was lucky to escape. If it weren't for me, the Director wouldn't have let him off this time. Now I've cleaned up his mess. Tell me, how should he thank me?"
“I’m afraid he won’t appreciate it!” Yi Hua’an was amused by Ning Zhiheng’s words. Suddenly, he remembered something and said again, “Mu Yu sent word that their Special Agent Investigation Department has been assigned to a newly established Tu Yuan Agency and moved to a large compound called…”
“Number 76, Jessfield Road!” Ning Zhiheng continued.
“Yes, that’s the place name, you already know it!” Yi Hua’an said in surprise.
"That wooden fish! The message transmission is too slow. This special agency has been established for several days, and it's only now that the message is being sent back. Didn't it mention anything else?"
Ning Zhiheng was clearly dissatisfied with Luo Xingchao's work efficiency. This time, the Special Investigation Department was reorganized, and such a big thing should have been reported to him by Luo Xingchao in the shortest possible time.
"Muyu said that these surrendered agents from the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics were locked up and organized for study by Ding Mo, the director of the Special Operations Department, as soon as they joined the department. They were locked up for several days. Even Wen Hao was the same. He was only released yesterday, which is why the news has spread," Yi Huaan explained.
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng asked curiously, "Organize a study session? What will we be studying?"
Yi Hua'an chuckled and said, "What else could it be? A brainwashing class, spreading Japanese heresies. Everyone just laughs at it. But Mu Yu said that Ding Mo and Li Zhiqun are very ruthless. They used this learning opportunity to find some excuses to deal with several agents one after another. The agents in the Detective Department are all a little afraid of them."
"This is a show of force!"
Ning Zhiheng's face darkened. These two people were not simple. In order to win over these surrendered agents, they used this trick right from the start, and it was indeed quite effective.
He couldn't underestimate Ding Mo and Li Zhiqun. These two were people who could make even a powerful figure like the Director bow down and admit defeat. How could they not have some tricks up their sleeves?
However, Ning Zhiheng was not afraid of them. In the end, they were just two traitors. His Japanese identity was enough to overpower them, and he doubted that they would dare to set their sights on him.
"Immediately arrange a new intelligence transmission channel for Muyu, and make sure it's well-concealed. Also, send the results of this operation to headquarters tonight so everyone can rest assured. The issue of the legal tender is finally resolved. Even if the Japanese act quickly, it will take them a year or two. By then, there won't be any major problems," Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.
"Yes!" Yi Hua'an nodded in agreement.
The news quickly reached the Second Operations Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Chongqing. Wei Liangbi was overjoyed when he received the telegram. He hurriedly drove to headquarters and reported to the Director immediately.
In the bureau chief's office, the bureau chief was pointing at Zhao Ziliang and said in a harsh voice, "A bunch of useless trash! You've already rushed in, and you still manage to kill the wrong person. You didn't even know which room the target was staying in before you rashly made your move. Now look what you've done, you've scared them off, and they've all disappeared. Only now do you know to report back."
This time, the assassination attempt on the vice president in Hanoi, Vietnam, was too hasty. As a result, only a personal secretary was killed, while the main target escaped. By the time the operation was resumed, the target had already disappeared without a trace. This outcome infuriated the director.
During this period, his subordinates made one mistake after another, which made him extremely unhappy. In addition, Minister Gan of the Executive Yuan, who had been his friend for many years, also had a lot of complaints about the Director because of the theft of the treasure, which gave the Director a lot of headaches. So when Duan Tiecheng returned, the Director did not even see him and directly ordered him to be locked up in jail. If Bian Ze had not pleaded for him many times, the Director would have killed Duan Tiecheng.
Zhao Ziliang knew that the assassination attempt had failed and the target had escaped. As the commander, he was in a very difficult position, so he couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate. Fortunately, the bureau chief had also sent a trusted confidant to participate in the operation, so he still had some room to maneuver.
"Chief, Wu Huarong and his team have discovered that a group of Japanese spies are protecting the target. Wu Huarong has already begun planning a second assassination attempt. Give them another chance, and we will definitely not let the target leave Hanoi alive!"
The chief sighed, shook his head, and said, "You're an old hand, don't you know that if an assassination attempt fails on the first strike, the opportunity is lost, and the success rate of another attempt is not high? Now that the Japanese are involved, I don't have high hopes for them."
Zhao Ziliang was well aware that an assassination was about striking unexpectedly and catching the target off guard, preventing them from reacting in time. However, the target had already been alerted and was far away overseas, so the action team could not receive effective support. The difficulty of the second assassination had increased several times over, and the chances of success were indeed slim.
