Upon hearing Yan Xing's words, Luo Zidong gathered his bodyguards and rushed to the agreed location to meet Yan Xing. When they arrived at the hotel, Yan Xing and his men were already waiting there.
Upon meeting, Luo Zidong asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? How did all of this occur?"
Yan Xing spread his hands and explained, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either. I only came here with my men after receiving their notification."
After saying that, he waved his hand and called over two of his men, pointing at them and saying, "They are the ones on duty tonight."
Luo Zidong stared intently at his two subordinates and asked, "What exactly happened? Explain in detail!"
The two Green Gang members quickly reported everything that had happened that night to Luo Zidong in detail.
It turned out that at 10 p.m. tonight, the personnel at various surveillance points at Shanghai Station suddenly started traveling in groups. This situation was quickly discovered by the Green Gang members who were monitoring them, so they followed closely behind. Little did they know that this was just a trap. All the people following them were led into a narrow and secluded corner and were all assassinated by the Shanghai Station personnel who were lying in ambush.
Afterwards, the Shanghai Railway Station staff and the action team members hiding in various safe houses all came out and rushed to the International Settlement. On the way, they carried out another assassination, eliminating several Green Gang members who were following them, and finally disappeared from the Green Gang members' sight.
The two Green Gang members fell a few steps behind during the final ambush and barely escaped with their lives. They dared not take another step and hurriedly reported to their leader, Yan Xing.
After clarifying the situation, Yan Xing dismissed everyone else and turned to Luo Zidong to add, "Our first batch of surveillance personnel were all stabbed to death in the alley. They didn't even use guns; they were all stabbed with daggers. Among them were three personnel assigned to us by Number 76. Later, the remaining personnel followed their movements here, but several more were killed. These people are very fierce. The brothers are all terrified and dare not follow any further. Now we've lost them."
Luo Zidong nodded, his face grim, and asked, "Where do you think the problem is?"
Yan Xing thought for a moment and replied, "These people are too vigilant. It's possible that our surveillance operation alerted them, which is why they withdrew from the French Concession."
Luo Zidong pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm, that's possible, but I think the problem lies with No. 76. The operation that No. 76 arrested Wang Hanmin, the Chongqing special agent's mother, alarmed them. I will inform Li Zhiqun about this immediately. By the way, settle the remaining people separately. I will send them back to the city tomorrow. Don't make a fuss about what happened today."
Yan Xing spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "Brother Dong, not counting the three people from No. 76, we ourselves have lost eleven brothers. This is something that can't be kept secret."
Luo Zidong's face darkened, and he said in a low, stern voice, "Even if it's hard to hide, we have to find a way. Spend more money to appease their families. Just say that the cargo ship sank on the river. There are plenty of excuses. In short, you have to find a way to suppress this matter. If word gets out and Chongqing comes knocking, we won't have any good days left."
"Yes!" Yan Xing was startled by Luo Zidong's sudden display of ferocity and hurriedly nodded in acceptance.
Half an hour later, Li Zhiqun received a call from Luo Zidong. Upon hearing Luo Zidong's account, he was immediately shocked. He was preparing to arrest the Shanghai station personnel, and the person had already escaped. The duck that was about to be caught had flown away? This was hard for him to accept.
He said angrily, "Zidong, now that the person has escaped from your hands, you're going to have to find him and bring him back!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Zidong nearly vomited blood. It seemed that Li Zhiqun was determined to hold him accountable and make him take full responsibility for this matter.
He quickly explained, "Brother Zhiqun, my abilities are limited. I can still manage things in the French Concession, but once they escape into the International Settlement, I truly can't do anything about it. That's not my territory. You should..."
But Li Zhiqun interrupted him sternly, saying in a deep voice, "Zidong, don't think about turning back. You've already helped us capture the Shanghai station chief, there's no turning back. Help me finish this job and wipe out all these Chongqing elements. I'll keep quiet, and you'll have wealth and glory in the future. If you can't do it, I'll tell everyone about your cooperation in capturing Wang Hanmin. I won't even have to lift a finger, Chongqing won't let you off the hook. Think about the seriousness of this matter yourself!"
"you…"
Luo Zidong was so angry at Li Zhiqun's shamelessness that he couldn't speak for a moment. This bastard was completely irresponsible and even used this matter to threaten him. He had no sincerity at all. Damn it, he was no match for Li Zhiqun's shamelessness and ruthlessness. Li Zhiqun would do anything to achieve his goals and didn't even intend to keep his previous promises.
But now there's no turning back; he's been tied to Li Zhiqun's ship and can only go with him through thick and thin.
Li Zhiqun ignored Luo Zidong and hung up the phone. He then immediately got up and left for Wang Hanmin's residence.
Li Zhiqun's sudden late-night visit startled Wang Hanmin. Wondering what had happened, he looked up and couldn't help but ask, "Director, what happened? Is there any news about my family?"
This is what he cares about most, and whenever he senses anything unusual, he can't help but connect it to this point.
He lay on the bed unable to move, so Li Zhiqun quickly took a pillow and placed it under him to help him prop himself up. He said gently, "Brother Hanmin, you're overthinking it. Your family is safe. Our people have already taken them out of Chongqing and will bring them to Shanghai to reunite with you soon."
