Cui Yuanfeng left the Equipment Section and quickly returned to the Intelligence Section to report the situation to Luo Xingchao.
"Section Chief, after Yu Pu entered the Equipment Section, I went in five minutes later. He and Pu Liangjun were talking about something. I sent Pu Liangjun away. I was thinking of trying to get some information out of Yu Pu, but this guy was very alert and didn't respond at all. He just turned around and left."
"Do you see that palm-sized grenade?"
"Yu Pu hid after just one glance."
Luo Xingchao nodded. Yu Pu's actions were all part of the plan; he just needed an excuse.
"It's alright. As long as we pinpoint Yu Pu's identity, Pu Liangjun won't dare to hide anything. He knows the consequences of betraying his own people, and Li Zhiqun won't let him off the hook!"
Cui Yuanfeng looked at Luo Xingchao and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Section Chief, now that Zhang Mingshi is dead, the position of Director of the First Division is rightfully yours. Do we still need to continue to stir up their struggle?"
Although Cui Yuanfeng was Luo Xingchao's absolute confidant, there were still many things that could not be explained. Cui Yuanfeng, Bi Wenxiang, and others had done many things on Luo Xingchao's orders, and they had some guesses in their hearts, but they did not know Luo Xingchao's true thoughts. No one dared to reveal the last layer of truth.
Luo Xingchao smiled slightly. He knew exactly what his subordinates were thinking, but he would never say it until the very last moment.
He waved his hand and said, "The conflict between Ding and Li has a long history. I was just adding fuel to the fire. Don't ask any more questions. I have my own plans!"
When Cui Yuanfeng heard that Luo Xingchao was still unwilling to reveal the truth, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he asked, "Should I secretly spread the word that Yu Pu got this gun?"
"No, that would be too obvious. Li Zhiqun isn't stupid. The more secretive something is, the more suspicious it becomes. Let's just wait for good news!"
Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door. After receiving Luo Xingchao's permission, Bi Wenxiang pushed the door open and entered.
Luo Xingchao turned to Cui Yuanfeng and instructed, "Yuanfeng, you go ahead and get busy. Keep a close eye on the target as I told you!"
"Yes!" Cui Yuanfeng replied, nodded to Bi Wenxiang, and quickly left the room.
Bi Wenxiang stepped forward and reported to Luo Xingchao: "Section Chief, the brothers below have been keeping an eye on Wu Shicai. His confidant Liu Li has been following Deng Zhengming for the past two days. Wu Shicai himself has also been to the vicinity of Deng Zhengming's house twice. Do you think Deng Zhengming is their next target?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xingchao straightened up immediately and asked in surprise, "Deng Zhengming? This is Ding Mo's top confidant. Li Zhiqun is quite determined this time!"
Although it was Luo Xingchao who gave Li Zhiqun the idea, Luo Xingchao did not expect Li Zhiqun to be so determined to kill Ding Mo's number one confidant. This was not a warning; it was a declaration of war! Of course, this was also the result that Luo Xingchao ultimately wanted to achieve, and now it seems that the effect has been unexpectedly good.
Bi Wenxiang continued, "I think they'll make their move soon. Also, Ding Mo has been so scared these past two days that he hasn't come to work at No. 76."
Luo Xingchao also knew about this. The day after Zhang Mingshi was killed, Li Zhiqun went to Ding Mo's office. After the two met, Ding Mo stopped coming to work at No. 76, obviously to prevent Li Zhiqun from turning against him. After all, in the No. 76 compound on Jisifeier Road, Li Zhiqun's influence was far greater than Ding Mo's.
Luo Xingchao couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. When Li Zhiqun was no longer willing to follow the old rules of officialdom and used violent means to achieve his goals, politicians like Zhou Fushan and Ding Mo were really no match for him.
He then asked, "By the way, how's the investigation of Dr. Chen's matter that I asked you to do?"
Bi Wenxiang nodded and replied, "We've investigated. Chen Zhaohua is a local. He has a large family, with both his parents still alive, as well as his wife and two children. They live in the nearby neighborhood, and he has a heavy family burden. He doesn't have many social engagements and stays at home most of the time, rarely going out. His history and information are also very simple. He has never expressed any political inclinations, made any extreme remarks, or had any complicated social relationships. He's just a very ordinary person. That's why No. 76 was chosen. He went home a couple of days ago and hasn't left the house since."
After listening, Luo Xingchao couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. Chen Zhaohua was the breakthrough point chosen by the section chief, but the investigation conducted on him was of almost no use.
The fact that Chen Zhaohua has no political affiliation means it would be difficult to persuade him to take action against Wang Hanmin by appealing to national righteousness.
His family affairs were a heavy burden, and it was unacceptable to ask him to disregard the safety of his family and risk assassinating Wang Hanmin. After all, given the actions of the 76th Division, they would definitely take retaliatory action against his family.
Unless his family is used to threaten him, but judging from the director's behavior, he is not even willing to involve Wang Hanmin's family, let alone Chen Zhaohua's family.
Unable to work on Chen Zhaohua himself, it seems the only option is to try and get some medicine. Luo Xingchao pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution. He could only instruct, "Keep a close eye on him. Notify me immediately as soon as he comes to work!"
"Yes!" Bi Wenxiang nodded in agreement.
Seeing Bi Wenxiang leave, Luo Xingchao knew he also needed to pass on the message promptly, so he also stepped out the door and hurried towards the contact point.
As evening approached, a car slowly pulled up in front of a residence in northern Shanghai.
Upon seeing the vehicle appear, several figures hidden around the corner of the opposite wall immediately sprang into action.
The leader whispered, "Remember, only target the driver. Don't actually kill the target. Wait until he leaves the vehicle before you make your move!"
