Chapter 420 "Poisonous Bees" Enter Shanghai

British Concession.

Tianhe Trading Company.

Zhou Min was sitting upright in her office, staring blankly at the telephone on her desk.

suddenly.

The tightly closed office door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man in his twenties rushed in.

"Uncle."

"We just received news that an explosion occurred in the Japanese concession a few minutes ago."

The young man's words had barely left his mouth when Zhou Min was immediately jolted awake. "An explosion?"

"Tell me quickly, what's going on at the scene?"

The young man took a few hard breaths to calm his disordered breathing before he began to recount the details.

When Zhou Minshou heard that a Japanese woman with her hands and feet bound was being pushed off a car, her eyes widened immediately.

Before he could even react, the young man's next words almost made him fall to the ground.

"That woman...the woman who was pushed out of the car, she had a bomb strapped to her arms."

"At that time, two Japanese ronin noticed that something was wrong and wanted to go and check on the woman. Just as they got close, the bomb in the woman's arms exploded."

"They are all dead..."

After hearing the details of what happened, Zhou Min slowly closed his eyes. He let out a long breath.

Then, as if all the strength had been instantly drained from him, he slumped back in the chair.

"Okay, I get it."

"Go out and continue to gather information outside. Come back and tell me immediately if you have any news."

The young man has left.

After he closed the door and left, Zhou Min stood up and pushed all the documents and miscellaneous items piled on the table onto the ground.

"hateful!"

"This is a threat! They're threatening me!"

"Why...why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?"

Zhou Min roared frantically, still unable to understand what he had done wrong to deserve such a grudge.

British Concession.

Qinghe Daily.

This is the office of the Shanghai station of the Special Service.

In an office, Ye Shaohong's "fifth brother," Wang Tianfeng, was working on official documents with his head down.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Wang Tianfeng stopped writing, looked up, and responded.

Then a woman in her thirties walked in.

"Section Chief, breaking news."

The woman's voice rang out, and she handed the folder to Wang Tianfeng. Wang Tianfeng took it, opened it, and a look of astonishment and confusion immediately appeared on his usually stern face. "The wife and children of the Japanese envoy have been kidnapped?"

"The newly appointed head of the Special Higher Police, Mieko Sakai, has been assassinated and is in critical condition in the hospital?"

"The wife and children of the president of Fuyuan Trading Company have also been kidnapped?"

"John Simmer, a director of the British Concession Municipal Council, has also had his wife and children kidnapped?"

"Who did this?"

Upon seeing the information recorded in the document, Wang Tianfeng's eyes immediately narrowed.

"do not know."

“I have just contacted the intelligence department, and they have clearly told me that no operations have been organized recently.”

"Section Chief, do you think it could be a Communist Party member?"

The middle-aged woman asked the question that had been bothering her, with a hint of uncertainty.

"No!" "The Red Party's Special Branch had already withdrawn from Shanghai in September 1935. Now, the Red Party only left some intelligence personnel in Shanghai."

"Even if there were one or two anti-traitor squads inside, they couldn't organize such a large-scale operation."

Wang Tianfeng dismissed his assistant's guess without hesitation. Holding the folder in his hand, his narrowed eyes began to change rapidly.

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something.

"Could it be...?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Xiao Qi's men have the capability to carry out this, so why would he do it?"

Wang Tianfeng spoke these words in a very low voice, so that even though the middle-aged woman was right in front of him, she could only hear a few murmured words intermittently.

This deepened her doubts.

"Section Chief?" "Do you know the identities of the personnel involved in this operation?"

"Who are they?"

The middle-aged woman blinked and asked with a hint of curiosity.

"What do I know?"

"I only just found out about this myself."

"Alright, there's nothing more for you to do here. You can go now."

"Oh, by the way, when you go out, please call Lü Sifang in for me. I need to ask him to do something."

Seeing that Wang Tianfeng had regained his senses and stopped muttering to himself, a hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of her eyes. She nodded, turned around, and walked out of the room.

A few minutes later, a burly middle-aged man in his thirties walked in.

"Section Chief, you called me?" "Sifang, our operation a few days ago failed. Have you found the person who leaked the information?"

At this moment, Wang Tianfeng had already closed the folder he had just received. He sat down in his chair, looked up, and gazed at the burly middle-aged man who had just entered the room.

"not yet."

"Many people know about this operation. Although I have already organized an investigation in secret, I still cannot confirm the identity of the target."

Lu Sifang shook his head, responding with a hint of reluctance.

Upon hearing his words, Wang Tianfeng immediately frowned. He raised one hand and placed it on the table, his fingers unconsciously tapping back and forth on the surface.

After a moment, it seemed as if a decision had been made.

"Let's investigate Assistant Hu."

"I just received a message, and she seems quite interested in it..."

Lu Sifang raised an eyebrow. He didn't bother to ask about Wang Tianfeng's instructions. After a brief silence, he immediately nodded and agreed.

"it is good."

"I will arrange for someone to investigate Assistant Hu's situation in the past few days shortly."

"But section chief, does Assistant Hu really have a problem? If she did, our base should have been exposed long ago."

Lu Sifang's doubts were also about the location that Wang Tianfeng hadn't dared to be sure of before, but Wang Tianfeng had obviously figured out the reasons and process behind it.

"Four Directions, you've become attached to appearances!"

"Don't forget where you are, this is Shanghai!"

"The Far East First Intelligence Center is not only home to hostile forces, but also an underground intelligence trading market." "Assistant Hu may not have betrayed the country, but her curiosity today was too great. I also heard that she is in dire need of money recently."

"Therefore, we must rule out the possibility that she is exchanging information for money!"

Wang Tianfeng's suspicion was much stronger than Ye Shaohong's; he would carefully verify even the slightest mistake.

even.

Even when he's uncertain about something, he won't hesitate to eliminate the potential threat.

This can be described as the action plan of the deep-rooted Chairman.

"Okay, I see."

Lu Sifang's eyes narrowed, and he immediately responded.

"correct."

"Did you go and check out the contact point I handed over to you a few days ago?" "There should be some guns and ammunition there, as well as sulfonamides that I purchased through special channels. Don't forget to retrieve these supplies."

"Bring plenty of people with you, and be careful. If things don't look right, don't hesitate, evacuate immediately!"
