Watching Luo Xingchao and Cui Yuanfeng leave, Li Zhiqun turned around and sat back down in his chair. He leaned back gently, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him. There had been too many things to deal with today, leaving him somewhat overwhelmed. Luo Xingchao was right; Li Yunqing's death had thrown him into a state of disarray.
Sun Xiangde, who was standing to the side, looked at Li Zhiqun and stepped forward, unable to help but remind him, "Director, this Luo Xingchao is really a formidable character. I think he probably has his own plans too!"
Li Zhiqun said calmly with his eyes slightly closed, "You saw it today too! This person is no ordinary person, definitely a formidable character. Before, in order to climb the ranks, he instigated me to kill Zhang Mingshi. Now he's working so hard to help me deal with Ding Mo and Zhou Fushan. Hmph, isn't it because he's afraid that the Special Agent Headquarters will really defect to the new government? The Japanese want to both use and guard against the new government, fearing that it will become too powerful. I have to serve two masters here. It's not easy!"
Li Zhiqun thought he was fully aware of Luo Xingchao's intentions. However, Luo Xingchao's intentions did not conflict with his own, and he had shown enough goodwill towards him. He could also build a good relationship with him, since the Japanese needed Luo Xingchao to speak on his behalf.
Meanwhile, Luo Xingchao and Cui Yuanfeng returned to their office. After closing the door, Cui Yuanfeng said excitedly, "Now they've shifted their focus to Yu Pu. Let's just sit back and watch them fight like dogs. Once they catch Yu Pu, Ding Mo will definitely be restless!"
“How do you know? You’re oversimplifying things!” Luo Xingchao retorted, not as optimistic as Cui Yuanfeng.
Upon hearing this, Cui Yuanfeng looked at Luo Xingchao with surprise. Luo Xingchao continued, "The superiors instructed that once the target is successfully guided, Yu Pu should be alerted. We cannot allow the people from No. 76 to actually capture Yu Pu."
"Warning?" Cui Yuanfeng was completely bewildered.
Luo Xingchao looked at Cui Yuanfeng and explained, "Yu Pu plays a very important role in the entire operation plan. He still has many things to finish. Besides, Ding Mo can tolerate the death of his number one confidant Deng Zhengming and obediently withdraw from No. 76. So even if Yu Pu is killed by Li Zhiqun, can you guarantee that he will dare to turn against Li Zhiqun and start a war?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Yuanfeng felt disappointed. Indeed, these politicians only cared about their own interests. If they were to fight each other recklessly, Yu Pu might not be up to the task.
Luo Xingchao continued, "Yu Pu cannot be arrested. If he is kept alive, Li Zhiqun will have no choice but to keep pursuing Ding Mo, and Ding Mo will not dare to give up on Yu Pu easily. He must protect him, otherwise he will never be able to make a comeback, and all his followers will scatter. Therefore, keeping Yu Pu alive is more beneficial than harmful to us. He is the fuse between Ding and Li, and we cannot let it be extinguished like this."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yuanfeng suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but admire the person who set up the scheme. The person's mind was incredibly meticulous, and every step was taken with perfect understanding of human nature. They had manipulated Ding and Li and their subordinates without them even realizing it. Cui Yuanfeng gave them a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Brilliant! No wonder it's the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau. Their methods are truly remarkable!"
Luo Xingchao continued, "The reason I asked them to spend an extra night verifying this was to buy time and give Yu Pu a chance to escape. In a little while, find a public phone and warn Yu Pu. Don't say anything else, just tell him to run away quickly!"
Cui Yuanfeng nodded immediately and quickly left.
Li Zhiqun acted quickly, and by late at night, he had completed the verification work and figured everything out.
Those arrested on the list quickly confessed that there was indeed a middle-aged man who was locked up in the conference room with them at the time of the incident. However, he was called out by the police and never returned. One of the people who was close to him also confessed that the police chief knew this middle-aged man and called him "Instructor Yu".
Everything was clear. The police chief was Kang Dongting, and "Instructor Yu" was Yu Pu. According to the investigation, Kang Dongting not only let Yu Pu go, but also changed the contents of the register for him before calling the Special Agent Headquarters. They were birds of a feather!
