The interrogation and torture of Wang Hanmin lasted for four hours, but Wang Hanmin did not utter a single word. In the end, he was put on the electric chair. Li Zhiqun was afraid that the high current would turn Wang Hanmin into an idiot, so he stayed by his side and personally watched him the whole time.
However, Wang Hanmin persevered with great willpower. Li Zhiqun cut off the power to him several times when he was on the verge of collapse. He did not expect that Wang Hanmin could endure the torture to this extent. Unless they committed suicide on the spot, almost none of the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau could survive this ordeal.
Looking at Wang Hanmin, who had been tortured beyond recognition, Li Zhiqun finally gave a disappointed order: "Give him the best treatment, use the best anti-inflammatory drugs, and absolutely do not let him die."
After a whole night of trying, Li Zhiqun still couldn't get Wang Hanmin to talk, and he was starting to get impatient. Ever since he captured Wang Hanmin, his expectations had risen considerably.
His target wasn't just the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station, because the entire organization of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station was under his surveillance, and it wouldn't be difficult to find other agents before long.
His target was all the intelligence networks of the Chongqing government that were operating in Shanghai, because in addition to Wang Hanmin's Shanghai station, there was another intelligence force of the Chongqing government active in Shanghai, namely the Shanghai Intelligence Section of the Military Intelligence Bureau, which the Japanese intelligence agencies had always coveted.
According to Japanese intelligence, this department was the most elite special forces unit of the Chinese intelligence service. From the very beginning of the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, it had been fighting on the front lines of the intelligence war. It is said that more than half of the important intelligence for the Chinese intelligence service was provided by this department.
What's even more terrifying is that even in Shanghai, the stronghold of the Japanese, the Shanghai Intelligence Section has consistently maintained the upper hand in its battles with the Japanese intelligence agencies. Almost every encounter has ended in defeat for the Japanese, resulting in the loss of a large number of Japanese agents. Yet, to this day, the Japanese intelligence agencies have not been able to find even a trace of this department, which they consider a great disgrace.
For this reason, Major General Hiroki Kagesa, the head of the Kagesa Agency, Japan's highest-level intelligence agency in Shanghai, specifically emphasized that all clues involving the Shanghai intelligence department should be given top priority, and every effort should be made to wipe out this special forces unit.
Li Zhiqun had high expectations for Wang Hanmin. Wang Hanmin was the highest-ranking Kuomintang agent captured so far, and also the main leader of the Chinese intelligence agency in Shanghai. He must have many unknown secrets in his mind, including information about the Shanghai intelligence department. If this special agent unit could be found, he would have accomplished something that even the Japanese intelligence agency had not been able to do, which would be an extraordinary achievement.
But seeing that Wang Hanmin remained silent, Li Zhiqun was greatly disappointed. The perfect opportunity was right in front of him, within reach, but it was just one step away, so Li Zhiqun was naturally anxious.
At daybreak, Li Zhiqun drove to a high-end apartment in the northern part of Shanghai, where Ren Manshan, the deputy secretary-general of the Central Party Headquarters of the puppet government, lived.
Ren Manshan was one of Wang Tianhai's confidants who fled to Shanghai with him. He was a prominent figure in the puppet government. He was quite surprised to hear that Li Zhiqun had come to visit. Ren Manshan was a close confidant of Wang Tianhai and belonged to the veteran faction of the puppet government. Li Zhiqun, on the other hand, was someone who was later pushed to Wang Tianhai's side by the Japanese and had Japanese backing. The two had never had any contact before, at most they were nodding acquaintances. Why would he suddenly come to visit so early in the morning?
However, Ren Manshan still personally opened the door to greet him. He dared not neglect Li Zhiqun, who now held real power and whose status in the puppet government was rising rapidly. The security situation in Shanghai was terrible, and assassinations against government officials were happening one after another. As an important cadre of the puppet government, Ren Manshan was naturally always on edge and was now relying on the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters for protection.
Ren Manshan invited Li Zhiqun into the living room and arranged for the servants to serve tea before asking, "Zhiqun, you are a rare guest. What brings you to my humble abode today? Is there something you wish to do?"
Li Zhiqun smiled slightly and said calmly, "Brother Manshan, I don't come here unless I have a reason. I've really encountered some difficulties, so I'm asking for your help. Please lend me a hand."
Li Zhiqun's words left Ren Manshan somewhat bewildered. He was in charge of Party affairs, which was completely unrelated to Li Zhiqun's work as an intelligence agent. How could he ask for help? Besides, the two of them had no contact at all. Why would he come to him for help?
Ren Manshan remained calm and said indifferently, "No problem, no problem. As long as it's within my power, it's fine. However, in Shanghai right now, we intellectuals still need your protection. If it's not within your power, I'm afraid I can't help you either!"
Ignoring these excuses and cutting to the chase, Li Zhiqun asked directly, "As far as I know, Brother Manshan has a younger sister who seems to have married a high-ranking official in the Military Intelligence Bureau named Wang Hanmin, is that right?"
After learning the name of Wang Hanmin, the head of the Shanghai station, Li Zhiqun, as a veteran intelligence officer, naturally understood the importance of knowing oneself and one's enemy to win every battle. Therefore, he quickly conducted an investigation into Wang Hanmin's personal information.
因为王汉民的一些资料并不保密，他在抗战前，就是军事情报调查处武汉站副站长，只要派人在武汉搜集一下，还是查到一些资料，这里面就有一条信息，那就是王汉民的妻子叫任仪文，她的哥哥就是眼前这位新政府要员任曼山，只不过当时的任曼山站错了队伍，跟错了人，跟委座搭不上话，在国党里实在算不上什么人物，后来跟着王填海逃到了上海，这才在伪政府里叫出了名号。
