Wu Shicai rushed back to the headquarters of Special Agent No. 76, had the two bodies sent to the morgue, and then ran to Li Zhiqun's office to report on the operation.
"Idiot! You can't even handle this simple task? Are all your men useless?"
Upon hearing Wu Shicai's report, Li Zhiqun was so angry that he cursed loudly. This was a real headache for him. Things had suddenly become tricky. Killing Deng Zhengming would definitely cause an uproar on Ding Mo's side. What kind of reaction would he have?
Although Li Zhiqun had made up his mind to break off relations, his original intention was only to force Ding Mo to withdraw from the Special Agent Headquarters on his own, and he did not want it to escalate to a life-or-death struggle, but the unexpected still happened.
Just then, his team members rushed over and reported urgently, "Director, Director Ding led his men into the compound and went straight to the morgue."
"They moved so fast?" Li Zhiqun was startled and quickly asked, "How many men did he bring?"
"There were about fifty or sixty people, all fully armed!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shicai pulled out his gun and said fiercely, "Is that all the men we have? My action team alone has over a hundred men in this compound. Director, I'll go and take care of him right now..."
"Shut up!" Li Zhiqun snapped, his face grim. He took a deep breath and managed to calm himself down. In his position, things were not as simple as Wu Shicai's.
Even eliminating dissidents and killing a few of Ding Mo's subordinates still required acting in the name of Chongqing elements, at least making it impossible for others to speak out in public. Let alone killing Ding Mo openly and blatantly, which would challenge the bottom line of everyone in the puppet government. Even Qing Qingzhengliang would not support him doing this. He has not reached such a level of recklessness!
Without further hesitation, Li Zhiqun strode out of the office, instructing as he went, "Get all the manpower ready; let's go and meet them!"
In the morgue, Ding Mo gently touched Deng Zhengming's cheek, his fingers trembling slightly as he felt an overwhelming grief.
When he received the news that Deng Zhengming had been killed, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He couldn't believe it for a moment. Deng Zhengming had followed him for many years and was the person he trusted most. He really didn't expect that Li Zhiqun would really go crazy and kill Deng Zhengming without any restraint.
He was consumed by rage and, without hesitation, led a team of armed police officers from Juchuan Academy to rush into the headquarters of Special Agent No. 76 and head straight to the morgue. At the very least, he wanted to take Deng Zhengming's body back with him.
After a moment, Ding Mo forced himself to suppress his grief. He knew that Li Zhiqun must be in the compound at this moment. If he stayed too long, something bad might happen. He had no confidence in Li Zhiqun's madness and didn't know how far he was capable of. If it hadn't been Deng Zhengming who died, but someone else, he would never have personally led people to snatch the body.
He said decisively, "Take all the bodies with us and get out of here as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Pu, who was following behind, quickly waved his hand, and several of his men stepped forward to lift up the two corpses. The staff members who were hiding in the distance were too frightened to show their heads or utter a sound, and let these people carry the corpses away.
But just as Ding Mo and the others were walking out of the morgue, Li Zhiqun arrived with his men, and the two sides immediately confronted each other.
Li Zhiqun spoke first, saying, "Director, you came to snatch the body in the middle of the night without even saying hello. Dealing with Chongqing elements is my duty. Deng Zhengming's body still needs to be examined; you can't take it away!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Mo was so angry he laughed. He walked up to Li Zhiqun and said slowly, "Li Zhiqun, I am the director of the Special Agent Headquarters. It's not your turn yet. I don't need to ask you what I want to do. Also, we both know whether Zhengming's death was caused by Chongqing elements. Don't make a fuss here. Today I will definitely take Zhengming away!"
Li Zhiqun felt uneasy after hearing Ding Mo's words. He looked around and saw that both sides had guns in hand and were on the verge of a fight. He feared that a single shout could lead to a bloody brawl.
He glanced at Ding Mo's bloodshot eyes, then suddenly smiled and said gently, "Alright, since the director is willing to personally investigate this case, I won't stop him. However, I also want to warn you that in the future, no one can just bring people in to break into this compound. If there's a next time, I won't be able to care about anything else!"
Upon hearing Li Zhiqun take a step back, Ding Mo gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Li Zhiqun, you used to work under me, and you were colleagues with Zhengming for many years. How could you do this? You're too heartless! I will never let his death go like this. I will definitely find out the real culprit and seek justice for him!"
Li Zhiqun's cheek muscles twitched involuntarily, and his expression turned ugly. What he hated most now was when people mentioned his humble experience as a lowly agent in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, being ordered around by others, especially when he was under Ding Mo's command. Many people in the puppet government's officialdom used this to attack him, saying that he did not understand respect and was insubordinate.
Hearing Ding Mo say this again, she was instantly enraged, her face flushed red, and she said through gritted teeth, "Don't make false accusations. Go back and investigate carefully. Don't go around biting people like a mad dog, or I won't be polite."
With these words, the two sides had completely broken off relations. Ding Mo didn't linger any longer. He waved his hand, led his men out of the compound of Special Agent No. 76, and returned to Juchuan Academy.
As soon as they entered the academy gates, Ding Mo ordered Yu Pu, "All personnel take turns on duty. Don't be careless. This bastard has gone mad and is capable of anything!"
