The next morning, as soon as Ning Zhiheng arrived at the Fujiwara Company, Yi Huaan quickly handed him two telegrams. Ning Zhiheng took them and was astonished.
The two telegrams were very similar in content. One was from the Director, ordering him to return to Chongqing as soon as possible to take charge of eliminating Japanese spies lurking in the Chongqing area.
Another telegram was sent by Huang Xianzheng, urging him to return to Chongqing promptly to report on his duties and cooperate with the Director's instructions.
This was the first time in a long time that the two bureau chiefs had such consistent opinions and instructions. It was clear from the content that the top leadership of the Military Intelligence Bureau was of one mind and attached great importance to this operation. It seemed that he had to carry it out without any room for shirking responsibility.
Since the two bureau chiefs were so anxious, Ning Zhiheng dared not delay. He decided to return to Chongqing as soon as possible. Moreover, he had been away from Chongqing for almost a year, and it was time for him to go back and take a look.
As for how to get back to Chongqing as soon as possible, Ning Zhiheng decided not to take the smuggling route, as it would take a considerable amount of time even if they traveled day and night.
Moreover, the time required to eliminate Japanese spies this time is uncertain. If it doesn't go smoothly and is delayed, I need a good excuse for being away from Shanghai for so long.
The best excuse would be to use Hong Kong. The Fujiwara Company's branch in Hong Kong is developing extremely rapidly. I can easily find an excuse, such as inspecting management, to get away unscathed. Moreover, Hong Kong is not within the Japanese sphere of influence, so it won't be easy for them to investigate. Especially now that I have Tan Jinhui, my shadow, as long as I transfer him to Hong Kong to provide cover and arrange things cleverly, it will be no problem to deceive them.
Just as Ning Zhiheng was preparing to leave, a private car pulled up in front of the park on a street in Shanghai.
Fan Zhongfu, the president of Shanghai Forensic University, stepped out of the car. He was about fifty years old, wearing a long gown, with his hair neatly combed and his short beard trimmed. He had a calm and composed look and an extremely refined appearance.
At this moment, the front door opened, and his driver, Chen Hongmin, got out and came to Fan Zhongfu's side, asking, "Sir, it's chaotic everywhere right now, let me accompany you inside!"
Fan Zhongfu waved his hand and said, "No need, it's just a walk with friends, there won't be any problems. You watch the car outside and wait for me to come out."
Chen Hongmin had no choice but to nod in agreement. Fan Zhongfu walked into the park. Today was a day off, and he often chatted and strolled in this park with friends of similar age when he was off work. It had become a habit.
Fan Zhongfu walked into the park. The place where he and his friends had gathered was still some distance away from the garden entrance, at a pavilion ahead.
Just then, several figures suddenly flashed by from the roadside, and a group of strong young men surrounded Fan Zhongfu.
Fan Zhongfu was startled. He looked up and saw that the young men were all dressed in the same black Zhongshan suits. He was immediately alarmed.
He recognized the clothes; they were the uniforms of the notorious traitorous organization, Agent 76, who ran rampant in Shanghai, arresting anti-Japanese elements and committing countless atrocities. The citizens regarded them as wolves and scorpions, avoiding them at all costs.
Fan Zhongfu remained calm and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
The man in the lead didn't answer him. Instead, he looked Fan Zhongfu up and down with a sinister gaze, then, comparing him to a photograph in his hand, he asked in a cold voice, "Are you Fan Zhongfu?"
This was specifically targeting him; it seemed there was no way to avoid it. Fan Zhongfu nodded slightly and replied, "I am Fan Zhongfu. What exactly do you want?"
The man stopped talking and stared intently at Fan Zhongfu, saying, "Then there's no mistake. We're from the Special Agent Headquarters. Now, please come with us!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the others stepped forward to restrain Fan Zhongfu and pull him aside.
Fan Zhongfu couldn't help but groan inwardly. He didn't know how these agents from No. 76 had found him, but he was certain they had ill intentions. Now everyone knew that No. 76 Jessfield Road was a den of monsters that devoured people, and once someone was caught there, it was difficult for them to get out.
Besides, given his special status, he absolutely could not fall into enemy hands like this. Thinking of this, he quickly struggled and shouted, "What are you trying to do? In broad daylight, do you dare to kidnap me? This is simply lawless!"
He cried for help and struggled desperately, but he was old and weak, and could not break free from the control of these agents. At this moment, the leader of the agents frowned, pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at Fan Zhongfu's head and said fiercely, "You better behave yourself and come back with us to see our director, or I'll shoot you right now!"
At this moment, several tourists nearby saw these fierce-looking men suddenly pull out pistols and were so frightened that they scattered and fled. Nowadays, the public security in Shanghai is extremely chaotic, with gunshots and explosions occurring frequently, and the citizens are all in a state of panic. Now that they saw this scene, how could they not run away?
At this moment, an agent stuffed a wad of cloth into Fan Zhongfu's mouth to prevent him from shouting, and then the agents dragged him out of the park.
Meanwhile, Chen Hongmin, the driver who was waiting at the park entrance, also noticed something was wrong. He saw several tourists rushing out of the park gate, so he quickly grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened inside?"
The tourist hurriedly replied, "It's terrible! Someone's kidnapping us, and they've even used guns..."
