"Yes!" Secretary Zhuang immediately accepted the order and left.
Li Zhiqun then said to Wu Shicai, "Something is strange about what happened today. It shouldn't have been Ding Mo's doing. You should quickly restrain the action team and not act rashly. I need to report to Colonel Qingqing before we decide on a countermeasure!"
“Director, we can’t be soft-hearted. We can’t let the feud between Zhenming and Lao Pan go like this…” Wu Shicai immediately argued when he heard that Li Zhiqun was unwilling to take retaliatory action.
However, his next words were cut off by Li Zhiqun's stern gaze. Since Li Zhiqun already knew that the Shanghai Intelligence Section was involved and trying to incite infighting between him and Ding Mo, he would not fall for it again. He needed to find out who his opponent was and then devise a countermeasure.
Wu Shicai had no choice but to turn and leave reluctantly, but he had other plans in mind. He thought Li Zhiqun was too worried. He had acted on his own initiative and carried out a large-scale assassination of Zhou Fushan and Ding Mo's men. In the end, Zhou Fushan and Ding Mo were forced to admit defeat. In the end, the problem should be solved with guns.
Luo Xingchao had been waiting in his office for a long time, watching the time and anticipating the outcome of the operation, but as time went by, no news came.
Cui Yuanfeng and Bi Wenxiang had already gone out and walked around several times, but still had no results. At this moment, Cui Yuanfeng pushed the door open again.
Luo Xingchao asked in a low voice, "Still no news?"
Cui Yuanfeng shook his head and replied, "It is indeed very strange. Twenty minutes ago, Li Zhiqun and his men rushed to Wang Hanmin's residence, but there has been no movement since. It seems that something went wrong during the operation."
Luo Xingchao clapped his hands together, turned around and went to the window again to look down. He said with a slightly anxious tone, "It seems there's a problem. Wenxiang just sent back a message that several wounded soldiers suddenly died in the infirmary. Could it be related to Chen Zhaohua?"
"Very likely. I heard that Wu Zhenming and Pan Gongya were assassinated this morning. This is quite a big commotion. Was it done by our people?"
Luo Xingchao had previously ordered them to investigate the whereabouts of the key personnel at the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, so he knew that his comrades outside were probably about to make a move.
Now that they're all on the same side, Luo Xingchao saw no need to hide anything from them. He nodded and said, "It was probably done by our action team. Their aim was to stir up trouble again, but I don't think Li Zhiqun will fall for it again."
Just then, the faint sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. Luo Xingchao quickly raised his hand to signal that no one should speak, and sure enough, a knock came at the door.
"Come in!"
It was Secretary Zhuang who pushed open the door and entered. He stood at the door and said in a hurried tone, "Director Luo, the director wants to see you in his office. He has something important to discuss."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xingchao quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll be right there."
After seeing Secretary Zhuang off, Luo Xingchao whispered a few words to Cui Yuanfeng before leaving the house, locking the door, and quickly going up the stairs to Li Zhiqun's office.
At this moment, Li Zhiqun also rushed back. Seeing Luo Xingchao enter, he immediately said, "Xingchao, something big has happened. This time we've met a real opponent."
Li Zhiqun's abrupt remark startled Luo Xingchao. Without wasting any time, Li Zhiqun led Luo Xingchao to the sofa, where the two sat facing each other. Li Zhiqun then recounted the events of the day to Luo Xingchao in detail.
Upon hearing that the operation had truly failed, Luo Xingchao was extremely disappointed. The operation, which had been prepared for so long, had unexpectedly encountered one setback after another.
Most importantly, the three assassination attempts today did not escape Li Zhiqun's notice. He has already become aware of the existence of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau. It seems that this last fire has not yet been lit.
But he showed no emotion on his face, instead saying with a look of relief, "Director, as the saying goes, good people are always blessed. It seems that Deputy Director Wang is quite lucky. What do you plan to do next?"
Li Zhiqun said in a deep voice, "I plan to conduct an internal investigation into the poisoning incident, and I'm assigning this task to you."
Luo Xingchao looked at Li Zhiqun with surprise, considered for a moment, and said slowly, "Director, it's not really appropriate for me to do this job! I think Captain Wu or Director Zhang would be more suitable."
Li Zhiqun shook his head and said, "No, only you are the most suitable!"
