He immediately suppressed his joy and asked in a kind tone, "Section Chief Luo, you're here too?"
Li Zhiqun had always been cautious in dealing with Luo Xingchao. Qingqing Zhengliang had explicitly told him that Luo Xingchao was a veteran Japanese spy responsible for monitoring the inside of No. 76, so Li Zhiqun was quite wary of Luo Xingchao.
Of course, no one likes having a spy watching their every move. So even though Li Zhiqun knew he was a Japanese informant, he still secretly took some restrictive measures, including infiltrating Luo Xingchao's subordinates and counter-surveillance actions, which made Luo Xingchao somewhat hesitant.
Upon hearing Li Zhiqun's question, Luo Xingchao smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "This humble servant arrived ahead of time to report some information to His Excellency the Colonel."
Li Zhiqun naturally knew that Luo Xingchao regularly reported to Qing Qingzhengliang. He wondered what Luo Xingchao had said this time, but hoped it wouldn't involve him.
Qingqing Zhengliang looked at Li Zhiqun and asked, "What is it, Mr. Li? Is there something you need from me?"
Li Zhiqun quickly nodded and said, "I have something important to report to you!"
He paused for a moment after saying "forgot," and glanced at Luo Xingchao with feigned hesitation. Luo Xingchao naturally understood what he meant. He had originally planned to pretend to be confused and stay here to listen to the news, but now that Li Zhiqun clearly did not want him to know, he could only pretend to suddenly realize something and bowed to Qing Qingzhengliang, saying, "Colonel, you are busy with official duties, so I will take my leave first!"
Qingqing Zhengliang naturally understood Li Zhiqun's meaning. He waved his hand to signal, and Luo Xingchao bowed respectfully to Li Zhiqun before turning and leaving.
After leaving the office, accompanied by his attendant, Luo Xingchao quickly left the Shadow Agency. As he exited the gate, he looked back, wondering what important matter had brought Li Zhiqun to this time. Judging from Li Zhiqun's excited expression, it was clearly something significant that would benefit Japan. Considering Li Zhiqun's current work, could it be that they had made some breakthroughs regarding the Shanghai intelligence station?
Luo Xingchao couldn't help but grumble to himself. The Shanghai intelligence station had suffered heavy losses during this period, and Li Zhiqun had gained the upper hand time and time again. This time, he was afraid that there would be more losses. However, he could not stop these things and was helpless.
Seeing Luo Xingchao leave, Qingqing Zhengliang smiled and said, "It seems you have good news to tell me. Tell me!"
"Colonel, this is very good news. I believe you will be very happy to hear it!"
Li Zhiqun stopped keeping them in suspense and immediately reported to Qing Qingzhengliang about his arrest of Wang Hanmin, the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station.
Upon hearing Li Zhiqun's report, Qing Qingzhengliang excitedly stood up from his seat and asked urgently, "Wang Hanmin? Is it true? That's wonderful!"
Qingqing Zhengliang couldn't help but pace back and forth in the room twice before asking, "Did he speak?"
“He’s spoken up! Wang Hanmin is willing to work for us, and he has even handed over all the forces he has at his disposal, including two National Salvation Army units operating in southern Jiangsu, totaling more than a thousand people, and their base is in Jingze!”
"Jingze? It's so close!"
Qingqing Zhengliang stared wide-eyed at Li Zhiqun in disbelief. If this intelligence was true, it was a golden opportunity that they couldn't afford to miss!
Li Zhiqun laughed heartily, having successfully turned Wang Hanmin to the side. This was his proud achievement. He immediately recounted the interrogation of Wang Hanmin in detail to Qing Qingzhengliang, and finally said solemnly, "Colonel, Wang Hanmin requested that his family be rescued from Chongqing. This was a condition I agreed to, and I can only ask you for help on this matter. Wang Hanmin is currently the most important intelligence chief to defect to us. He knows many important secrets of the Military Intelligence Bureau. His defection is of great significance to us!"
Qing Qingzhengliang knew what it meant for Wang Hanmin to defect. He nodded and said, "You're right. This is indeed worth doing. I'll send a telegram to Wuhan right away and tell them to take action immediately."
At this point, he instructed Li Zhiqun, "I will go and pay a visit to Commander Tada now. You will come with me and we will explain the situation in person."
