Luo Zidong looked at Yan Xing, his expression changing. He was also afraid of this situation. If Li Zhiqun really wanted to push him out to confront the Chongqing elements, given his character, it was not impossible for him to do such a thing.
Yan Xing continued, "Brother Dong, you haven't left the house these past few days, so you don't know how quickly this news has spread. The speed at which the news spread must be deliberate. The person spreading the news definitely has ill intentions. If it really was done by the people from No. 76, then why are we still foolishly working for them? If we really help them find this person, we will make an even bigger enemy of the Chongqing separatists."
Luo Zidong remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Of course, he couldn't go out and find someone now. He did it before because no one knew, so it was fine. But now that he had been exposed and his identity was revealed to everyone, it would be suicidal for him to do it openly again.
Moreover, Luo Zidong was meticulous and far more thoughtful than Yan Xing. After a little thought, he felt that there was probably a deeper meaning behind this.
Since someone is deliberately spreading the news, these people could be either from the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters or, more likely, from Chongqing!
Because Li Zhiqun still needs him, even if they break off relations, it's not the right time yet, but these Chongqing elements are not so polite.
The reason is simple: when these Chongqing elements assassinated cotton merchant Fu Yaozu in the foreign concessions, they first created a great deal of publicity within the concessions, exposing his traitorous identity and even launching a propaganda war to inform the world before openly assassinating Fu Yaozu to warn others.
Finally, Lu Tianqiao, the master, stood up for Fu Yaozu, exposing his identity as a traitor. He was quickly killed in the street by these people with overwhelming force, and the shock made no one in the concession dare to speak up again.
Now that the Chongqing elements have made a comeback, their momentum is even greater than before, and the entire Shanghai has been turned upside down. Why would these out-of-towners care about him, a local tyrant? They will probably use this method to expose their own affairs to the public, and then kill him as a warning to others.
If this were truly the last possibility, Luo Zidong knew that his days were numbered!
The more Luo Zidong thought about it, the more suspicious it became, and the more frightened he became. He felt mentally disoriented and secretly terrified!
Seeing Luo Zidong's uncertain expression, Yan Xing quickly asked, "Brother Dong, what should we do now?"
As soon as Luo Zidong reached out his hand, Yan Xing was taken aback, but immediately understood and handed the photo back to Luo Zidong.
Luo Zidong threw the photo on the table, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, since someone is spreading rumors, the Chongqing elements will definitely be watching us. The situation is too tense these days, so we must be careful. For safety reasons, I will stay at home for the time being and strengthen security. You and Zhao Rong can take care of things outside."
Zhao Rong was also another capable assistant of Luo Zidong and one of Lu Tianqiao's disciples. His status in the gang was second only to Yan Xing.
"Okay, we'll handle things outside, but..."
Yan Xing looked at Luo Zidong and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Brother Dong, this is not a long-term solution. If you don't step up, we won't be able to control the situation. You need to think of a safe way to resolve this."
Luo Zidong took a deep breath, nodded and said, "You're right. It's better to resolve this sooner rather than later. I'll think of a way."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xing finally felt relieved, turned around and quickly left the room. Luo Zidong then slumped onto the sofa, his body weak and powerless. He couldn't help but secretly lament that he had been utterly ruined by Li Zhiqun this time!
Yan Xing left the Luo mansion, got into his car, and drove away quickly. He didn't realize that their every move had been observed.
In an inconspicuous surveillance point, Ji Hongyi, the head of the intelligence team of the Shanghai Intelligence Section, was carefully observing the movements of Luo Mansion with binoculars. After a short while, he handed the binoculars to a team member next to him and asked him to continue monitoring.
He turned to Deng Zhihong, the action team leader behind him, and said, "See? All our previous investigations were for nothing. This bastard is too cautious, completely different from his master. As soon as something feels off, he hides at home like a turtle, not even leaving the house. Our people can't get close to him."
Ji Hongyi was the mastermind behind this operation against Luo Zidong. Ever since he learned that Luo Zidong had defected to the enemy, he had been investigating him, including his preferences, whereabouts, close associates, and all other information, and was ready to take action at any time.
However, due to Ning Zhiheng's orders, no action was to be taken in the concession to alert the enemy and affect the series of operations in the city, so the operation against Luo Zidong was temporarily suspended.
However, Luo Zidong quickly changed his previous pattern of whereabouts and simply stayed inside the Luo Mansion without coming out. This put Ji Hongyi in a difficult position. All the preparations he had made were in vain, and he could only stay at the surveillance point and keep a close eye on the movements of the Luo Mansion.
Deng Zhihong, the team leader in charge of the assassination mission, was anxious to see Luo Zidong's caution. He checked on the situation every day. Hearing Ji Hongyi's words, he got up, looked out the window, and said, "There are at least forty or fifty bodyguards and guards in the Luo mansion. Their weapons and equipment are quite good, and the security is too tight. If we launch a direct assault, we can take it down, but casualties are inevitable. The section chief and department head will never agree to this plan!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Hongyi couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said irritably, "How could you even think of that? Since our intelligence section infiltrated Shanghai, we've carried out countless major operations without losing a single person. If we were to suffer heavy casualties just to deal with a street thug, where would we put our faces? The section chief and the division chief are people who don't tolerate any nonsense. Do you think they'd let us off the hook?"
