Li Zhiqun had no more doubts at this point; everything was clear, and the murderer was undoubtedly Yu Pu.
He immediately ordered Wu Shicai to arrest Yu Pu at his home, but when Wu Shicai and his men arrived at Yu Pu's home, they found it empty.
Upon receiving the news, Li Zhiqun was furious. In his view, Yu Pu was guilty and dared not stay at home overnight, which further proved the previous conclusion to be correct.
However, as long as Yu Pu is still in Shanghai, Li Zhiqun is not afraid that he will run away. As the saying goes, "the monk may run away, but the temple cannot." He can go directly to Ding Mo to settle the score. No one can escape!
At this moment, Yu Pu, who had already received an unsolicited warning call, was like a frightened bird. He no longer cared about the authenticity of the information on the phone. After hanging up the phone, he fled back to Juchuan Academy, which was the stronghold of Ding Mo's forces. There were also hundreds of armed police trainees in the academy with ample weapons and equipment. Unless attacked by the army, this force was enough to guarantee his safety.
Early the next morning, Li Zhiqun led a group of men to the gate of the puppet government's Ministry of Social Affairs, where they blocked Ding Mo in the office building and confronted him, demanding that he hand over Yu Pu.
Ding Mo received a call from Yu Pu late last night, knowing that Li Zhiqun had traced the matter back to Yu Pu and that it was probably impossible to keep it a secret any longer. So he was prepared and, under Li Zhiqun's aggressive questioning, he stubbornly denied it. In the end, the two sides almost came to blows, but Zhou Fushan arrived with a group of police officers and stopped Li Zhiqun from making trouble.
But this time, Li Zhiqun had no scruples about Zhou Fushan. He had no choice but to capture Yu Pu, otherwise he would not be able to explain himself to everyone. So he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
As expected, direct pressure proved futile, and Ding Mo and Zhou Fushan showed no intention of admitting their wrongdoing. Li Zhiqun immediately decided to launch a war, mobilizing his forces to take action against Ding Mo's faction.
At 3 p.m. that day, Jin Yaoxian, the former head of the Telecommunications Department of the 76th Special Agent Headquarters and now an official in the Social Affairs Department, and his wife were attacked by several gunmen on Yuyuan Road. The couple and two bodyguards were killed on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Mo's staff officers Li Ziyun and Peng Ping were also shot dead by a group of people on their way home, and their guards were also killed or wounded.
Li Zhiqun's sudden attack caused the already tense situation to deteriorate even further. The No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, while claiming that the assassinations were carried out by Chongqing elements, also sought another opportunity to attack Ding Mo's men. This immediately frightened Ding Mo's subordinates so much that they all fled, and some even hid in Juchuan Academy for the time being.
In the principal's office of Juchuan Academy, Ding Mo looked at Yu Pu standing in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. He said, "Now you know! Impulsiveness comes at a price. Li Zhiqun has completely torn off the mask and officially started a war with us. In one afternoon, Yao Xian, Zi Yun, and Peng Ping were all assassinated. He's forcing me to hand you over, otherwise these assassinations won't stop."
Yu Pu looked at Ding Mo helplessly. No matter how he argued, everyone had already concluded that Yu Pu was the one who assassinated Li Yunqing.
When Li Zhiqun threw the three bullets in front of Ding Mo, the last trace of doubt in Ding Mo's mind vanished. He had seen the Browning micro pistol in Yu Pu's hand with his own eyes. He had even checked the gun later and found that there were indeed only three bullets left inside. This kind of gun was rare, and Yu Pu simply couldn't explain it.
Yu Pu then realized that he had been framed by that Boss Ma, but his explanation was weak and feeble, and even he himself felt that it was hard to convince people. Moreover, at this time, the two sides had already started a war, and there was no point in dwelling on these things anymore.
Yu Pu said dejectedly, "Minister, please hand me over!"
Hearing Yu Pu's words, Ding Mo gave a bitter smile and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not so cowardly as to betray my own brothers to prolong my life. Besides, even if I hand you over, Li Zhiqun might not let it go. This time, his target is probably me. He's really pushing his luck and being aggressive!"
At this point, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "Now that the war has begun, we can't just stand there and take the beatings. Although our Juchuan Academy is not as strong as theirs, and we're not good at fighting, we can still carry out assassinations. You should select some capable and competent people and sneak out of the academy tonight to set up forces around us. Staying here will only allow us to passively take the beatings. Fortunately, we made some preparations beforehand. You should seize the opportunity and try to kill Li Zhiqun or Wu Shicai directly. Once they are dead, their men will fall apart. Perhaps we can turn the tide and take back the Special Agent Headquarters!"
"Yes, I'll get ready right away!"
Upon hearing Ding Mo's words, Yu Pu quickly nodded in agreement. He had nowhere to retreat and was forced to the edge of a cliff. He was already extremely grateful that Ding Mo refused to abandon him. If he didn't fight to the death now, he would also face certain death in the end.
Ding Mo said again, "There's a batch of Browning large-caliber pistols in the warehouse. Take them all. When you're on the operation, shout a few slogans and scatter some banners to shift the blame onto the Chongqing agents. That way, the pressure on us will be less."
Ding Mo shared the same idea as Li Zhiqun: to leave themselves some room for maneuver in front of the Japanese and Wang Tianhai.
"Also, if necessary, I will ask Minister Zhou for assistance. After all, the Shanghai police still listen to him. As long as you fight well, we are not without a chance of winning, understand?"
"Understood, I'll go arrange it right away!" Yu Pu accepted the order and left.
Meanwhile, at the liaison point, Luo Xingchao reported the details he had learned to Ning Zhiheng, and finally asked, "Chief, Li Zhiqun has already started to make trouble. Ding Mo has no choice but to respond. A major internal conflict is inevitable. What else do we need to do in this situation?"
