Li Zhiqun's eyes darkened. With the deaths of two battalion commanders in succession, this time he had suffered a serious blow.
But the matter wasn't over yet. Just then, cries of alarm came from the next examination room. Two nurses rushed over, shouting urgently, "Dr. Liu, come quick! The wounded are all dying..."
These successive changes left everyone overwhelmed. Dr. Liu hurriedly ran to the consultation room, and everyone else followed.
Rushing into the clinic, I saw several wounded men lying on the ground, convulsing, their faces flushed red, unable to speak, only making muffled sounds.
Dr. Liu stepped forward, pressed down on one of the wounded, and carefully examined his mouth and nose, but found nothing unusual.
His expression suddenly changed as he realized that the wounded soldiers had different injuries, so how could they all show symptoms at the same time? Could it be a case of mass poisoning?
He quickly instructed the two nurses, saying, "Quickly, remove the gauze and check their wounds!"
Just then, a wounded soldier who had been struggling for a long time suddenly stopped moving. Doctor Liu rushed forward and checked his breathing, confirming that the soldier was dead. He knew something was wrong.
Two nurses removed the gauze, and Dr. Liu examined the wound. He was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "It really is poisoning!"
As they were talking, the wounded men stopped convulsing, stopped breathing, and died on the spot.
Li Zhiqun's face was grim and he ordered in a deep voice, "Find out why he was poisoned."
The nurses then removed the gauze from the other wounded soldiers. After examining the wounds, Dr. Liu picked up a small amount of white powder, put it under his nose, and smelled it carefully. After a long while, he said somewhat uncertainly, "There is a faint smell of something else in this white powder, a bit like white arsenic powder. This kind of poison seeps into the body through the blood, and there is absolutely no way to cure it."
"Poisoning?"
Suddenly, Li Zhiqun seemed to remember something and asked urgently, "Dr. Chen treated their injuries just now. Where is Dr. Chen? Where did he go?"
Dr. Liu quickly replied, "He must have gone to change Deputy Director Wang's dressing. He told me this morning that there were just too many patients, so he had to ask him to help out first!"
Upon hearing Dr. Liu's words, Li Zhiqun's expression changed drastically. He immediately realized what was happening and shouted, "Quick, where's the phone?"
A nurse quickly replied, "There's a phone in the duty room!"
Li Zhiqun turned and ran, rushing into the duty room next door, grabbing the phone and dialing.
Soon, Li Zhiqun hung up the phone, rushed out of the duty room, and ran towards the outside of the medical clinic.
Wang Hanmin was very important to Li Zhiqun. He knew that Wang Hanmin must still have secrets he hadn't revealed. Moreover, Wang Hanmin's brother-in-law was Ren Manshan, the deputy secretary-general of the Central Party Headquarters of the puppet government. If Wang Hanmin were assassinated at the Special Agent Headquarters, it would also cause trouble for Ren Manshan. So Li Zhiqun couldn't help but be nervous.
The others followed behind Li Zhiqun, and the group quickly ran towards Wang Hanmin's residence.
Just when the headquarters of Agent 76 was in complete chaos, and Li Zhiqun and his team were overwhelmed and at their wits' end...
In a safe house in the eastern part of the city, Ning Zhiheng also received a report from Zuo Qiang. He was silent for a moment before asking Zuo Qiang, who was standing in front of him, "Why did you attack Pan Gongya on Fuyuan Street? I told you to wait for an opportunity to strike, but Fuyuan Street and Jisifeier Road are only one block apart. Once you make a move, the Seventy-Sixth Division will react very quickly. This is a very risky move."
Previously, Ning Zhiheng planned to stir up trouble between Ding and Li. After much consideration, he chose Wu Zhenming and Pan Gongya as his targets. The reason was simple: they were both Li Zhiqun's absolute confidants. Killing them might provoke Li Zhiqun into losing his temper and taking retaliatory action.
Moreover, Wu Zhenming's Second Action Brigade was stationed at Kangjiaqiao in western Shanghai, and Pan Gongya's Fourth Action Brigade was stationed at Qianjiaxiang in northern Shanghai. Both locations were far from the headquarters of Special Agent No. 76, so if they were attacked, No. 76's response would be much slower and their safety would be higher.
So he ordered Zuo Gang and Zuo Qiang to each select a target. Zuo Gang's operation went smoothly. Wu Zhenming was blown up on the spot, but he was left alive to frame Ding Mo.
However, Zuo Qiang's actions went wrong, which gave Ning Zhiheng a bad feeling.
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, Zuo Gang knew that the director was already dissatisfied with his actions, so he quickly and cautiously replied, "Things took a little unexpected turn. We had already made arrangements along the only route between his residence and the base, but for some reason, their convoy changed direction as soon as they left their house. Instead of going to Qianjia Lane, they drove directly to the Special Agent Headquarters. I had to change my plans on the spot and led my men to chase after them. We finally intercepted them on Fuyuan Street. Seeing that the opportunity was too good to pass up, I ordered the operation to begin. Fortunately, the operation went smoothly. Pan Gongya was seriously injured, but we escaped unharmed..."
"You still think you've done something right, is that it?" Ning Zhiheng asked coldly. He took a few steps to Zuo Qiang, making Zuo Qiang's breath catch in his throat, and he dared not utter another word.
"You're lucky you didn't get into trouble! Since an unexpected situation has arisen, abandoning the operation and rashly pursuing the enemy, launching an attack without sufficient preparation, especially near the intelligence headquarters' lair, would all be fatal mistakes."
Ning Zhiheng stared intently at Zuo Qiang, his voice growing increasingly stern: "You're taking a risk! You're hoping to get away with it!"
