Another guard took two pistols from a hidden compartment in the suitcase, handed one to his companion, and tucked the gun into his waistband.
Wang Hanmin did not stop them. Unless it was a random Japanese inspection, it was rare for anyone to search a train. Besides, many businessmen nowadays had armed bodyguards. As long as there was no major problem, they could cover it up by spending some money.
The train soon started moving and set off. The journey was uneventful. The two guards changed shifts once. As they approached Suzhou, the two guards put away their guns and hid them in the compartments of their suitcases. They quickly packed up and prepared to disembark.
But just as they relaxed their guard, the door was suddenly kicked open with a "bang," and several burly men rushed in, pointing several gun barrels at Wang Hanmin and his two companions.
"Don't move!"
"Don't move! Move and we'll shoot!"
The private room was extremely cramped, and the three people had no room to move or dodge. They were held at gunpoint by these people.
However, one of the guards was agile and unwilling to surrender. He moved to the side, raised his hand, and a dagger slid from his wrist. With a swift movement, he slashed a bloody gash across the neck of one of the 76th Special Agents. Blood gushed out immediately, but gunfire erupted at the same time. Three bullets struck his chest in quick succession, and he fell backward without a sound.
This sudden change forced the other guard, who was about to take action, to give up resistance as well. Wang Hanmin's skills were average, far inferior to his two agile subordinates. However, he was not slow either. Just as the gunshot rang out, he suddenly turned his head and bit his own collar, which contained powdered potassium cyanide that had been prepared beforehand.
However, the lead agent was very experienced and reacted extremely quickly. He simply struck him hard on the side of the ear with the butt of his rifle, and the head immediately tilted to the side, causing him to lose consciousness.
Hearing the gunshot outside, Li Zhiqun was startled. He had followed Wang Hanmin the whole way without daring to make a move, for fear of hurting him. Finally, he found an opportunity and rushed in, but he still managed to fire his gun. If he had killed Wang Hanmin, all his efforts would have been in vain.
He strode into the carriage and demanded sharply, "What happened? Who told you to actually fire?"
Wu Shicai quickly replied, "Director, the target resisted, but don't worry, Wang Hanmin is fine. It was his guard who was killed."
Li Zhiqun finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the Japanese guards on the train also heard the gunshots and rushed over. Li Zhiqun and the others took out their identification and negotiated for a long time before they were able to get through the situation.
Next, Li Zhiqun and his team got off at Suzhou Railway Station, transferred to a train traveling in the opposite direction, and rushed back to Shanghai. By the time they arrived, it was already late at night. They took Wang Hanmin back to the headquarters of Agent 76 and immediately began the interrogation.
Looking at Wang Hanmin in front of him, Li Zhiqun's lips curled into a smug smile. After several months of battling with the agents of the Shanghai intelligence station, with heavy casualties on both sides, he had finally achieved a decisive victory today.
Now that the Shanghai station's operations are exposed, and even the stationmaster, Wang Hanmin, has been captured, everything can be over once he gets him to talk.
He could almost picture it now: once he wiped out all of Chongqing's intelligence forces in Shanghai, his status would be greatly elevated in front of the Japanese and Chairman Wang. He might even be able to use this opportunity to push Ding Mo, who was pressing down on him, and completely seize all the power of the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters. All of this depended on the outcome of today's interrogation.
"Station Chief Wang, it's been a long time since I've heard so much about you. We've known each other for a long time, and it's a bit of a shame that we meet in person today! Haha!"
Wang Hanmin's upper clothes had been stripped off, and he was tightly bound to a wooden stake. He was naturally filled with remorse. Even though he had been through many storms on the intelligence front, he knew what fate awaited him now that he had fallen into the hands of No. 76.
His expression was blank as he said, "You don't need to waste your energy. Just shoot me. I won't say a word!"
Li Zhiqun chuckled. He naturally didn't expect to get an agent of Wang Hanmin's caliber to talk so easily. Today's interrogation was destined to be difficult, but that didn't matter. He was confident that he could get what he wanted!
