He slowly approached, then suddenly grabbed the man's neck and twisted it with all his might, breaking the man's neck as well. The man made no sound and stopped breathing.
Ning Zhiheng carefully left the room and searched the adjacent rooms, quickly finding the target in the second room next door.
He approached cautiously, came to the bedside, and looked at the sleeping man on the bed. There was no mistake, this was Zhang Pei!
Once he identified his target, without the slightest hesitation, he swiftly strangled Zhang Pei by the neck. Before the startled Zhang Pei could react, his neck bones snapped in Ning Zhiheng's strangulation. His breathing weakened rapidly, his pupils dilated, and his consciousness gradually faded.
In an instant, another series of memories unfolded before my eyes.
The first scene shows Zhang Peishen, a young man dressed in worker's clothes, giving a passionate speech to a group of workers in a spacious factory.
In the second scene, Zhang Pei, a middle-aged man who looks much more haggard, has just finished teaching a class to children in a rural classroom. As soon as he steps out of the classroom, he is swarmed by several secret agents and tackled to the ground.
The third scene shows Zhang Pei, bound to a wooden frame and covered in wounds, enduring excruciating torture. Ma Hong's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face appears before him, roaring fiercely.
In the fourth scene, a door is gently opened, and a person wearing a thick scarf walks in. Then, the person turns around, removes the scarf from their face, and quietly looks at Zhang Pei. It is none other than Lu Ming's face.
"Old Lu! It really is you! It really is you~?" Zhang Pei rushed forward excitedly and grabbed Lu Ming's hands tightly.
"Old Zhang, it's been so many years! How have you been?" Lu Ming also reached out and shook hands tightly with Zhang Pei.
The fifth scene shows a brightly lit office where a middle-aged man with a long face throws a briefcase in front of Zhang Pei and says sternly, "This is your last chance. Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to show your face in any unit of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. I'm arranging for you to go to a safe house outside. You have three days to memorize this person's information, then approach him, gain his trust, and re-infiltrate the underground party organization. I'll be waiting for your good news!"
The scene flashed by quickly, and Ning Zhiheng didn't waste any time, his thoughts swiftly exiting his consciousness.
Slowly releasing his hands, Zhang Pei's head drooped limply, and his body went limp on the bed.
The operation to eliminate the traitor was successfully completed. They sneaked in at night and, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, silently killed the target Zhang Pei and his two guards with their bare hands without using any guns or weapons. The whole process was even smoother than Ning Zhiheng had expected.
Ning Zhiheng remained vigilant and searched the remaining rooms on the second floor again. Finding no one else, he finally confirmed that the entire apartment had been thoroughly cleaned.
Ning Zhiheng was finally relieved and had time to recall Zhang Pei's memories.
