Espionage: Mastering the Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Military Intelligence Bureau from the Start

Su Mingzhe was well aware of the difficulty and danger of this assassination mission, so he did not act rashly.

Instead, they chose to continue closely monitoring Duan Zhengliang's travel patterns.

Since we've already spent a long time just getting around, there's no rush to implement Plan Woodpecker.

Given their current identities as posing as businessmen, Luo Dayou and Shen Bei naturally took on the task of selling the goods.

However, neither of them had any talent in this area, and they didn't sell many goods.

But this is good, it allows me to set up my stall for a few more days, giving me a good excuse to stay here.

As for the person who was not on duty to sell goods, they would work with Su Mingzhe to record Duan Zhenliang's daily travel patterns.

For eight whole days, he traveled between the police station and his residence in that bulletproof car every day, making it almost impossible for Su Mingzhe and the others to find any opportunity to strike.

Since Su Mingzhe and his two companions did not carry long guns, their Browning pistols were simply too far away to penetrate the bulletproof car windows.

Su Mingzhe had also considered using grenades to carry out the assassination mission.

However, the unpredictability of hand grenades is simply too great.

If a grenade is used, the power and range of its explosion could very likely affect innocent civilians, and there is no guarantee that it will accurately hit the target and kill Duan Zhenliang in one shot.

The Duan mansion was under constant surveillance by more than a dozen gunmen, making it extremely difficult to infiltrate and assassinate someone.

Meanwhile, Duan Zhenliang did not eat or drink outside during these eight days, which made the poisoning assassination plan impossible and completely unfeasible.

Furthermore, even if an opportunity to carry out an assassination at close range could be found, escaping after the assassination would be another major hurdle.

The assassination squad of the Party Affairs Investigation Department was wiped out because their close-range assassination attempt failed, which attracted the attention of the Japanese military police.

However, perseverance pays off. Finally, on the night of the eighth day, Duan Zhenliang arrived alone at a private residence in the west of the city.

More than a month has passed since the last assassination attempt, and Duan Zhenliang lives in constant fear.

However, after discovering that the Party Affairs Investigation Department had not taken any further action, Duan Zhenliang's tense nerves relaxed a little.

Duan Zhengliang felt a surge of desire and could no longer suppress the lustful fire within him, which led him to have a secret rendezvous with his lover.

Duan Zhenliang stayed in that house until the next morning. Only when the guards came to pick him up did he get back into the bulletproof car and head to his workplace as usual.

During the surveillance over the next few days, Su Mingzhe and others discovered that there was only one woman in the house.

The woman was very young and extremely beautiful. Based on what he overheard from the waiter's conversation, Su Mingzhe could almost certainly conclude that this woman was Duan Zhenliang's lover.

This discovery instantly gave the previously stalled assassination plan a new lease on life.

The exact location of the actor, whose property was worth seven thousand yuan, was finally determined.

In Su Mingzhe's view, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

When Duan Zhenliang was having a secret rendezvous with his lover in this private residence at night, his vigilance would inevitably be lowered, and there would be almost no security forces around.

The chances of success of the assassination will be greatly increased if carried out at this time.

After all, when doing such private things, Duan Zhenliang must want to do it behind people's backs.

This means that if he were to encounter misfortune here, no one would likely notice it in the short term.

The time difference of one night was enough to give Su Mingzhe and the others enough time to escape from Xinjing.

Su Mingzhe has always been a decisive person; once he makes a decision, he immediately puts it into action.

Because of the curfew at night, Japanese military police would occasionally appear on the streets.

In order to shorten the distance between the inn and the residential houses, and also to better monitor the residential houses in the west of the city, Su Mingzhe canceled his original inn rental.

After searching for a while, he chose another inn that was only half a street away from the residential houses in the west of the city.

The location here is excellent, ensuring both seclusion and allowing him to keep a close eye on any movement from that house.

As the days passed, Su Mingzhe patiently waited for the right opportunity to arrive.

Finally, around 11 p.m. on the fifteenth day, a furtive figure appeared on the quiet street.

The figure moved with light steps, quickly approaching the door of the house. Then, it took out a key from its pocket, skillfully opened the door, and slipped inside.

Despite the darkness of the night, Su Mingzhe could not clearly see the person's appearance, but judging from the silhouette alone, it was identical to Duan Zhengliang. He was certain that he was not mistaken.

With such a rare opportunity right in front of him, how could Su Mingzhe be willing to miss it?

The assassination will be carried out tonight.

Having calculated the patrol times of the Japanese military police, Su Mingzhe led the two directly to the residence during the handover period between the two patrol teams.

Even if we assume, by all accounts, that this person is not Duan Zhenliang, it doesn't really matter. We can simply eliminate him, sneak out of the city under the cover of night, and declare to the outside world that the assassination attempt failed.

Su Mingzhe felt no qualms about leaving the remaining mess to the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Su Mingzhe didn't have any heroic baggage. He wasn't Superman and couldn't guarantee that every mission would be completed perfectly. He wouldn't easily joke about his own life, especially since he wasn't alone.

Su Mingzhe and Shen Beiluo Dayou are two brothers.

Shen Bei and Luo Dayou arrived in Xinjing safely with Su Mingzhe, and Su Mingzhe was going to bring them back to Chang'an Station intact.

At this moment, Duan Zhenliang stepped into the actress's boudoir with great anticipation and excitement.

The beauty was already lying quietly on the bed, her eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water, and her face was even more beautiful and charming in the candlelight.

At this moment, Duan Zhenliang felt as if his heart was on fire, burning with intense heat.

Simply put, it means the smaller head controls the larger head.

His wife at home was nothing more than an annoying presence to him. She was a haggard old woman with a shriveled face and a capricious and unreasonable personality. Compared to the gentle and lovely beauty in front of him, they were like two extremes.

To him, being good-looking and willful is called flirting, but being old, ugly, and willful is just being unreasonable.

If it weren't for the fact that she bore him a son and continued the family line, Duan Zhenliang would probably have already sent her away with a divorce letter.

At this moment, Duan Zhengliang's heart and eyes were filled only with the beauty before him.

He couldn't wait to undress, and the clothes slipped off his body one by one. With an eager desire, he walked straight toward the woman on the bed.

Their bodies were tightly embraced, their skin touching, completely immersed in the tender embrace, leaving all the troubles and dangers of the world behind.
