As Ning Zhiheng had predicted, the very next day, Zhou Fushan urgently summoned Li Zhiqun and confronted him completely. After communication, the two sides quickly reached a consensus.
Ding Mo resigned from his position as director of the Special Agent Headquarters. Zhou Fushan, in his capacity as a member of the new government's Special Affairs Committee, appointed Li Zhiqun as director of the Special Agent Headquarters and Wang Hanmin as deputy director. He also transferred all of Ding Mo's men from the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters to the Ministry of Social Affairs.
At the same time, Zhou Fushan implied that Li Zhiqun should not resort to underhanded tactics against Ding Mo and his men, and that this conflict should end here.
As for the cause of death of Zhang Mingshi and Deng Zhengming, it was naturally claimed to be the work of Chongqing agents.
Li Zhiqun was overjoyed. He had gained the upper hand in this conflict and had achieved all his goals. He had been worried that Ding Mo and Zhou Fushan would not let the matter rest because of Deng Zhengming's death, but now it seemed that the outcome was far better than he had expected.
It seems that as long as I am willing to lose face and take action, these bureaucrats of the pseudo-government are indeed all bark and no bite, a bunch of paper tigers!
Ding Mo suffered a complete defeat in this contest and left the headquarters of Agent 76 in disgrace. This also created a deep enmity between him and Li Zhiqun. Now he can only lick his wounds in secret and back down for the time being.
Li Zhiqun was overjoyed with his great victory. He was extremely grateful to Luo Xingchao for his advice and, in return, the first thing he did upon returning to the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters was to announce Luo Xingchao's latest appointment, promoting him to the position of Director of the First Division of the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters.
At the same time, new appointments were made for the vacant positions, and his confidants were placed in their positions. Thus, Li Zhiqun completely took control of the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters.
Luo Xingchao quickly relayed the news. When Ning Zhiheng learned that Ding Mo had once again chosen to back down, he immediately ordered the next step of the operation. He would never let this newly started fire be extinguished!
Three days later, at around 10 a.m., Yu Pu, the chief instructor of Juchuan Academy, appeared at the main gate of Shanghai Municipal Hall.
Just an hour ago, he received a call from the City Hall Police Department, asking him to come to the City Hall to discuss the list of new students to be enrolled at Juchuan Academy.
This time, Ding Mo suffered a crushing defeat in his fight with Li Zhiqun and felt that his own strength was too weak. So he asked Zhou Fushan to expand the strength of Juchuan Academy. Zhou Fushan had the same idea. He had long hated Li Zhiqun's arrogance and was determined to support another special agent force. So he immediately nodded in agreement.
Because Ding Mo has always looked down on the street thugs of the Green Gang, every batch of students at Juchuan Academy in the past were elites selected from the police department, with considerable combat power, and this time was no exception.
Previously, the selection of trainees was handled by the head of education, Deng Zhengming. Now that Deng Zhengming is dead, Yu Pu has to take over the task.
After receiving the call, Yu Pu arrived at the city hall without delay. After entering the hall, the guards checked his identification, registered it, and then let him in.
In recent months, gunshots have been heard everywhere in Shanghai, and assassinations have been occurring one after another. As a result, security measures in various government departments have been extremely strict. Strangers entering the city hall and the offices of the puppet government must have their identities verified and be registered to prevent Chongqing elements from infiltrating and assassinating government officials.
Yu Pu's current identity is the chief instructor of the special agent training class of the Ministry of Social Affairs. He is also a government official, so he was able to pass the test quickly after revealing his identity.
However, he didn't notice that the moment he appeared in the city hall lobby, in an inconspicuous corner, a man dressed as a janitor, holding a broom, suddenly narrowed his eyes, turned around, and quickly walked towards the stairs.
The cleaning worker quickly climbed the stairs to the third floor of the office building. He glanced at the office area to his left, which was the police station's office area.
The cleaning worker didn't stop, but turned directly to the right side of the stairs, where the city hall's inspection department's office area was located.
The janitor walked past several office doors with practiced ease. Suddenly, the door of one office opened, and two middle-aged men walked out. The janitor quickly turned around and bent down to sweep the floor with his broom. The two men glanced at the janitor but didn't pay much attention. They walked past him, talking as they went.
Watching the two men quickly descend the stairs, the janitor looked around to make sure no one was watching, then hurried a few steps to the door of an office. He placed the broom on the door, listened intently, then gently grasped the doorknob with his left hand, extended his right hand in preparation, and suddenly pushed the door open, slipped inside, and slammed the door shut behind him.
This office is a standard office suite, with an outer reception room for staff and an inner office for government officials.
At that moment, two young men were chatting on the sofa in the reception room when they were startled to see someone burst in. However, they quickly reacted, stood up, reached for their waist with their right hand, and were about to ask a question.
But the cleaning worker moved extremely quickly. After slipping into the room, he didn't stop. He took a big step and closed in. As he approached, he flipped his right wrist and a small, exquisite pistol appeared in his hand. At a distance of only about two meters from the two men, he fired directly. Two muffled gunshots rang out. The two men were caught off guard and were shot in the chest. They froze and fell back onto the sofa.
