Ji Hongyi spoke with such conviction, his words naturally conveying the unique confidence and disdain characteristic of the Shanghai Intelligence Section!
Indeed, this was the case. Under Ning Zhiheng's leadership, the Shanghai Intelligence Section had always been unstoppable in its operations, sweeping all before it. Thanks to his meticulous planning, they consistently outnumbered and outmaneuvered their opponents, gaining a significant advantage. As a result, they suffered almost no casualties in their operations. The most serious incident occurred during the assassination attempt on Fu Yaozu, when Xu Yongchang suddenly attacked and severely injured one of the team members. However, the member eventually recovered, and to this day, not a single member has been lost. This is an unprecedented miracle in the entire intelligence front of the China Theater!
This indirectly created a psychological advantage for all the personnel in the intelligence department; they didn't believe that a small gang leader could escape their grasp.
In fact, even Ning Zhiheng himself didn't pay much attention to Luo Zidong, this insignificant person. He simply ordered Huo Yueze to deal with him and then left the matter alone.
Deng Zhihong was aware of this, so he felt quite helpless about Luo Zidong's cowardly approach. His team members were all rare elites, and he couldn't let them perish in a small ditch.
He thought for a moment and asked helplessly, "Then what good ideas do you have? Are we just going to keep at it like this? He can afford to wait, but we can't. Right now, Zuo Gang and Zuo Qiang are making a big splash in the city, causing chaos and killing people like crazy! But I'm completely helpless against Luo Zidong and can't take him down. Lao Ji, it's not good for me either, it's not good for your reputation either, is it?"
Everyone witnessed the major upheaval in Shanghai, especially Zuo Qiang's action team. He personally took action and successfully assassinated Li Yunqing, the leader of the Green Gang. Later, he intercepted and killed Pan Gongya. He also launched the first attack in the turmoil in western Shanghai, causing heavy casualties to the No. 76 gang. In the end, he retreated calmly. He was the star of the show throughout the entire operation.
Every time he thought about this, Deng Zhihong was filled with regret. If he had known that the section chief would make such a big fuss, he would have been determined to take the task from Zuo Qiang no matter what. Now he was filled with remorse.
Ji Hongyi, of course, knew Deng Zhihong's feelings. He chuckled and pointed at Deng Zhihong, saying, "You're just jealous. Let me tell you, you can't go on a mission with emotions on your mind. That's a big no-no. Besides, you don't need to provoke me. I don't have any good ideas. In short, a direct attack is not feasible. We can only wait for him to come out of his shell on his own!"
Deng Zhihong pursed his lips and said sheepishly, "It's all your fault. You had to make a scene and spread the news everywhere. He knew his traitorous identity had been exposed, so how could he not hide? Now look what happened, you've shot yourself in the foot!"
These words left Ji Hongyi speechless. It turned out that the news circulating outside these days was deliberately spread by Ji Hongyi. His intention was the same as Luo Zidong's own guess: to expose his true colors and then take his life, so that everyone else in the concession could see the consequences of collaborating with the Japanese and the puppet government.
This was also Ning Zhiheng's consistent attitude towards dealing with traitors in the foreign concessions: to make things public and deter them openly and honestly, without fear of letting everyone know.
Ji Hongyi spread his hands and said helplessly, "We can't just punish someone without warning, can we? Besides, this is the section chief's idea. I was just following orders. Who knew this guy was so cautious? He's the complete opposite of Lu Tianqiao. Now we've really messed things up!"
Seeing that Deng Zhihong was still trying to argue, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, what can he possibly do? In Shanghai these days, who can escape the clutches of our intelligence department? Just be patient and wait for my message. I'll let you know as soon as I have the chance!"
Upon hearing this, Deng Zhihong had no choice but to wave his hand, turn around, and leave the room.
Ji Hongyi shook his head with a wry smile, went to the window again, took the binoculars from the team member, and continued to monitor the movements at Luo's mansion.
