Seeing Pei Wenrui's expression, Wu Quanjiang knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and comforted him, "Old Pei, don't overthink it. We Red Party members are all alone. Money is just an external thing, a tool for us to achieve our goals. As long as we can rescue you, it's worth any amount of money."
Pei Wenrui shook his head and said, "That's true, but given our organization's current financial situation, it's really too difficult to come up with so much money."
He knew the underground party's current predicament and that raising the money to rescue him would be extremely difficult.
Wu Quanjiang, of course, could not tell him that the funds had another source. He repeatedly reassured Pei Wenrui, telling him to relax and not to worry too much about the matter.
However, he was also quite relieved. Money makes things easier. He used to be short of funds and couldn't do many things he needed to do. Now that Miao Yongyi could provide a long-term source of funding, it seemed he could start to deal with the situation.
The next day, Ning Zhiheng, as usual, went to the antique market on East Street with Yamada Nobuyuki, and then rushed to the Special Higher Police in Wuhan to meet the agents who had been transferred from Shanghai.
In fact, the reason Ning Zhiheng made an excuse to come to the Special Higher Police was to see for himself whether he could find any valuable clues here. Sometimes, a lot of intelligence can be analyzed from the details.
Yamada Nobuyuki had prepared everything in advance. When the Special Higher Police arrived, everything was orderly and well-organized, which greatly impressed Ning Zhiheng. Ning Zhiheng praised Yamada Nobuyuki's outstanding work ability, which delighted Yamada Nobuyuki.
After a long tour, Yamada Nobuyuki led Ning Zhiheng to an office building near the Special Higher Police.
"This is the secret reconnaissance unit under our Special Higher Police. The people here are all Chinese. Their backgrounds are very complicated, and they are of varying quality, but they are very helpful to our cause. Many anti-Japanese elements were dug out by them, so they are quite capable."
Ning Zhiheng nodded. This secret reconnaissance team was similar to the Special Investigation Division of the Shanghai Special Higher Police, both being peripheral organizations of the Special Higher Police.
Several secret service officers were already waiting in front of the office building. They had been waiting there since they heard that Yamada Nobuyuki was coming.
Seeing Ning Zhiheng and Yamada Nobuyuki approach, several people quickly stepped forward to greet them and escorted Ning Zhiheng into the office building.
Ning Zhiheng looked around and asked, "Where is he?"
Upon hearing this, Yamada Nobuyuki looked at a middle-aged man and asked in a deep voice, "Where are Song Chenghua and the others?"
The middle-aged man, the captain of the secret service team, quickly stepped forward and pointed to a room next to him, saying, "This is their office."
After speaking, Ning Zhiheng pushed open the door and stepped inside. At that moment, four men were processing documents in their hands. When they saw the group of people enter, they quickly stood up and looked over.
Yamada Nobuyuki stepped forward, pointed to the four people, and introduced them to Ning Zhiheng: "These are the four of them. Please feel free to ask them anything, sir!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the four men hurriedly ran over to him, waiting for the next instructions.
Yamada Nobuyuki said sternly to them, "This is Mr. Fujiwara, the president of the Shanghai Fujiwara Company. I think you are from Shanghai, so you should know that Mr. Fujiwara is a person of high status. He will ask you some questions about Shanghai. You must answer his questions in detail, understand?"
Upon hearing Yamada Nobuyuki's introduction, the four men all looked surprised. The leader of the group carefully examined Ning Zhiheng before quickly lowering his head.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, and Yamada Nobuyuki and the others, knowing his meaning, all left the office.
Ning Zhiheng sat in his seat, coldly observing the four people, and asked, "Were you all just transferred from Shanghai to Wuhan?"
Song Chenghua, who was in charge, quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, we were just transferred to the Wuhan Secret Investigation Team the day before yesterday."
Ning Zhiheng nodded, then asked, "I heard that the situation in Shanghai has stabilized now? Chinese agents suffered heavy losses? Can you tell me the details?"
The four people looked at each other, and Song Chenghua was the first to speak and introduce them.
It turns out that the situation in Shanghai has indeed changed a lot. Shortly after Ning Zhiheng left, the Shanghai station organized another major operation.
In order to prevent the convening of the Sixth Congress of the Wang Jingwei regime, Wu Huarong proposed a bold plan: to carry out a massive explosion at the meeting venue during the congress, so as to wipe out all the traitors.
The meeting place for this conference was not somewhere else, but the conference hall of the headquarters of Agent 76.
The Wang Jingwei regime had its reasons for choosing this location. At present, Chinese spies in Shanghai are becoming increasingly rampant, and the traitors in the Wang Jingwei regime are all in danger.
The No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters is the exclusive intelligence agency of the Wang Jingwei regime. Ding Mo and Li Zhiqun are both experienced and cunning agents, so their headquarters is naturally heavily guarded. Holding the Sixth National Congress here can guarantee safety.
After careful consideration, Wang Hanmin and Wu Huarong decided that since they couldn't infiltrate the area openly, they would use a method of excavation and blasting. They would dig a tunnel from the outside of No. 76 directly to the bottom of the conference hall, and then place a large amount of TNT explosives. On the day of the meeting, they would ignite the explosives and send everyone to their deaths.
They carefully surveyed the terrain and finally selected a courtyard closest to the meeting hall, which they then rented at a high price.
Then they carried out excavation work every day. Originally, the plan itself was fine and feasible. Unfortunately, Ding Mo and Li Zhiqun were extremely vigilant. They had already investigated the situation of the nearby residents and conducted regular follow-ups.
